Ci'en Temple is full of incense. Today is not a big day, but there is still an endless stream of pilgrims.

The old lady is a regular visitor here, and she always adds a lot of money for sesame oil when she comes here. She believes in this, and thinks that the more money you add for sesame oil, the more merit you will accumulate.

After adding the sesame oil, the young novice monk led everyone to the guest room to rest. The old lady was led to discuss Buddhism with Master Wuyan, the abbot in charge.

Mrs. Cheng was afraid that Qiao Niang would cause trouble, so she tied her to her side. She was not allowed to go here or there, and she was only allowed to stay in the room.

"Jiao Niang, this is your first time here. Go outside and burn some incense sticks to pray for a wish. The Bodhisattva in Ci'en Temple is very spiritual." Mrs. Cheng reassured Jiao Niang, fearing that Qiao Niang would be restrained too.

As soon as Qiao Niang heard this, she immediately jumped up from the bed. She looked unhappy just now but became very interested, "Okay, Qiao Niang is not familiar with this place, I will go with her."

"You are not allowed to go, just stay with me." Mrs. Cheng glared at her.

Qiao Niang felt aggrieved and pursed her lips, "Why can't I allow it?" She grabbed Cheng's arm and said, "Mom, I'm almost exhausted. Just let me go out for some air. I promise to be honest.

Seriously, I won’t cause you any trouble.”

Jiao Niang had no intention of going to worship Buddha, but she couldn't help but feel moved when she heard Mrs. Cheng say her prayers. Seeing Qiao Niang's behavior, she spoke for her, "Second Aunt, please let Qiao Niang go with me. I'll look at her, she won't

It will cause trouble." Qiao Niang's eyes widened as she looked at Mr. Cheng and nodded emphatically.

Mrs. Cheng patted Qiao Niang's hand and said kindly: "Good boy, you can go on your own. She even asked you to worry about her." She tilted her head at Qiao Niang and said, "Last time I came to pray, I didn't even notice her.

She, she ran away. Do you know where she went? She went to tease a peacock raised in the temple and insisted on seeing where the child was born. I was so angry that I really wanted to beat her."

Jiao Niang laughed, Qiao Niang blushed, twisted around and said, "Mother." Feeling shameless, she turned back to the bed and never got up.

Ci'en Temple is very large, with seven or eight temples, large and small. Jiao Niang led Qing Huan straight to the Main Hall, which Cheng said was the most effective. She said that she had begged the Bodhisattva to give her a grandson there several times before, and it turned out that she had a grandson.

They came one after another.

It was noon at this time, there were not many people, just a few or two here and there. Jiao Niang stood at the door for a while, and waited until everyone was gone before going in.

There are three futons placed side by side in the center of the hall. The futons are wrapped in golden cloth and embroidered with lotus flowers, just like the lotus seat under the Bodhisattva.

The girl knelt down, clasped her hands together, her dark eyes were turned into a bright yellow color by the golden body of the Bodhisattva in front of her, "Bodhisattva is above, I believe in my daughter, I pray sincerely, I hope that my mother will be reincarnated as soon as possible, and there will be no suffering in the next life."

, Secondly, I wish that my father will be healthy and live a long life, and thirdly, I wish that my brother will grow up happily and have a worry-free life."

Qing Huan lit three sticks of incense and handed them to her daughter. She held them in her palms and bowed to the Bodhisattva three times before getting up and inserting them into the incense burner.

Seeing how pious she was, Qing Huan joked: "Young girl has asked so much for others, why don't she ask for something for herself? I would say she should ask Bodhisattva to give her a good marriage."

The young lady glanced at her and said, "Don't joke around in front of the Bodhisattva." She looked up at the three-foot-tall Bodhisattva and felt even taller, "Marriage is destined by God, you can't ask for it."

Suddenly I remembered something, knelt down again and prayed softly, "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, I don't ask for a good marriage, but I ask that I never see that person again in this life."

Last night, for some unknown reason, she suddenly dreamed of Ying Che, which made her feel uneasy.

After praying, Qing Huan helped her up, and the two of them walked out of the hall.

As soon as they left, two people walked out from behind the golden body, one of whom was exactly "that person" Jiao Niang mentioned just now.

The man's figure was slender and clear-cut, like a god descending from the earth. He exuded a compelling sense of dignity and arrogance. His narrow phoenix eyes looked at the door with emptiness. He couldn't tell what scene caught his eye, but it seemed that

Something caught my mind again.

"What enlightenment did your Highness gain from your discussion with Master Wu Yan this time?" The guard next to him followed his gaze and looked outside, only to see a corner of his blue dress.

Ying Che turned his gaze away, with an evil smile on his lips, and sneered, "You are just a monk who has read a few scriptures, and you dare to call him a master? The world is really ignorant, just like offering incense and worshiping Buddha.

If there really are gods in this world, why are there so many evil people?"

He looked down upon the Bodhisattva, slowly, his eyes fell on the unburned incense candle, and suddenly said: "Wuya, did you hear who she said she would never see again?"

He recognized her. She was the girl who talked to Junze that time, and she was also his sister-in-law. What was her name, sweet lady? She really is more delicate than a flower.

Wuya raised his eyebrows, confused for a moment, "Ah?" Is His Highness testing his hearing?

Ying Che laughed secretly, since when did he become interested in these things.

The conversation changed, as if the question just now was not asked by him, "You send a letter to Wuwei, saying that I will not go back for the time being, and that I will stay longer."

Wuya clasped his fists, "Yes."

Then he said: "I heard that there is a happy event in Hua Junze's family. Please give me a generous gift. When the day comes, we will also go and have fun." His tone of voice was rare and relaxed and cheerful, which showed that he was in a good mood at this time. However, Wuya sipped his lips.

Eyes, why do you sound like you are still looking forward to it?

The young lady left the Main Hall and walked back. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked not far away, several people appeared on the crosswalk and blocked their way.

The leader was a man in gorgeous clothes. He was very arrogant. His eyes were fixed on the girl, looking her up and down. "Little beauty, which family are you from? How come you are so beautiful?"

He looked wretched, and it was a waste of good material. The girl turned around and walked in the other direction, and he jumped in front of her. She was so frightened that the girl stepped back several steps, "Does coming to the temple to worship Buddha mean you want a good marriage?"

Ah? Haha, the Buddha has had a magical effect. When you go out, you will meet me." The men next to him started to cheer and laugh.

Qing Huan stood in front of Jiao Niang and said sternly: "How dare you, this is the niece of the prefect of Licheng, how dare you disrespect her!"

Jiao Niang and the others don't know this person. This person is none other than He Min, the son of He Zhiping, the governor of Qizhou. He is a well-known rogue in the city. He uses his father's identity to run rampant and bully the people. He has harmed many young girls.

"Prefect? ​​Haha, I don't take it seriously at all." He Min pulled Qing Huan away and moved closer to the girl, "Sir, I have played with so many women, but I have never played with such a beautiful one. Today I met her.

Time for an affair."

His men also had lewd looks on their faces and made all kinds of weird noises. Some of them said, "Master, when you've had enough fun, give it to the younger ones to play with."

"Ah, are you worthy of such beauty and beauty?" He Min stretched out her hand to touch her face, "Beauty, follow me back, I will treat you well."

Qing Huan stepped forward and knocked his hand off, "Get out of here, if you don't get out, I'm going to call someone!" Looking around, Qing Huan pulled her neck and shouted, "Someone, help, someone is coming quickly!"
