Chapter 206 Touring the Temple

There were heavy clouds yesterday, and Zhao Yiyi thought it was going to rain heavily but did not dare to wash her clothes. Unexpectedly, it suddenly became sunny today.

Perhaps it was because Xu Ran met Liu Tianming yesterday and saw that Luoshui's children didn't seem to be doing well. Coupled with the special pressure on the family, it could be seen that he was unhappy.

On the other hand, if you think about Han Yike, there is no difference between having a family and being homeless.

Liang Da came to play with Zhao Yiyi today. After Xu Ran broke up with her on the surface, Xu Ran went back to her previous practice of avoiding her as much as possible.

It's just that in the past it was to avoid suspicion and not cause trouble, but now it's for the best of both parties.

Anyway, the personal relationship between the two has not diminished, and Liang Da knows that Xu Ran has been busy with e-sports projects these days, and rarely comes over, just for fear of disturbing him.

Xu Ran wanted to take Han Yike out for a walk, so that she could relax her mood. After all, after she entered the training base, the two would not be able to meet and accompany each other every day like now.

Zhao Yiyi originally wanted to pull Liang Da to follow, but looking at the bright sun and unwashed clothes outside, she gave up and forced Liang Da to stay at home and play games with her.

Liang Da couldn't resist Zhao Yiyi, so the two of them stayed at home. Zhao Yiyi even showed off the signature Xu Ran gave her to Liu Shani.

Liang Da was dubious...

The main reason is that few celebrities will sign on white paper. This is the basic common sense of celebrities.

It can be seen that the handwriting is no different from Liu Shani's signature that was circulated before.

On the other side, Xu Ran didn't tell anything about Liu Shani and naturally let her go.

He pulled Han Yike and walked on the street. Today Han Yike was wearing a white bear T-shirt and suspenders. Zhao Yiyi bought this outfit as a gift for her.

Looks more like a child.

Anyway, when Xu Ran and her were walking on the road, they would basically think that they were brother and sister. No one could tell that she was 24 this year.

Han Yike put his hands in his trouser pockets and complained with his mouth curled up.

"That bad girl Liang Da hasn't come to see you for a long time. I said she is no good. She is extremely bad. After breaking up with you, she seemed to have forgotten you. Before we broke up, she looked depressed."

They knew that Xu Ran and Liang Da broke up, but they didn't know who brought it up. Later, it was Liang Da who took the initiative to explain that it was her initiative to break up.

This made Han Yike very unhappy.

"I haven't looked for you since we broke up. I obviously treat you like a game mission target and forget about you once you're done! What's there to like about this kind of girl? Isn't it just that she's good-looking and rich? Hmph

snort..."

Han Yike has always been unreasonable, let alone reasonable, even though this reason is also based on her reason.

Xu Ran just smiled and did not answer. After all, the matter between him and Liang Da also involved a mysterious girl. Things about the mysterious girl were like a taboo in Xu Ran's heart. It was a good thing if he could not talk about it and not think about it.

Because once he thinks about this problem, Xu Ran feels dizzy and there is going to be a big problem in his entire circle of friends.

"You always say that you are older than us. Since you are older than everyone else, you must learn to be tolerant. It is not good to always talk about others."

Han Yike said: "I'm telling the truth. What's wrong? Are you not happy when I tell her?"

Xu Ran touched Han Yike's head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Is there anywhere you want to go today?"

"I'm fine. Anyway, it would be nice to come out with you. If I wait until I enter the team base, we won't have time to play together." At this point, Han Yike sighed heavily.

She was not used to the reduced time spent with Xu Ran.

In the past, when Xu Ran was still in college, the time the two of them spent together was only a few hours in the evening.

But since moving in with Xu Ran and Zhao Yiyi, I have become accustomed to living with the two of them. Who would want to go back to the past?

"Don't worry, I will go to the base often if something happens. Besides, you can come back to live during the holidays, so that Yiyi won't have to worry about you."

"Yiyi won't talk about me. She has TV series to watch and snacks to eat. Everything is perfect."

Xu Ran laughed out loud when she saw that Han Yi could see that Zhao Yiyi's feelings were similar to his own.

"Speaking of Xu Dao..." Han Yike suddenly changed his serious tone, "Don't worry about me, I will work hard professionally."

Xu Ran glanced at Han Yike first, then hesitated: "I don't question your determination."

Han Yike shook his head: "I know that both you and Yiyi are worried about me. I know that I don't want to leave you, and I also know that I don't want to show up in public. I don't even like...strange environments. And I have to face it alone.

It’s an unfamiliar environment. But I know that I have no ability to survive in this society. It’s you who have been helping me so that I have the opportunity to work professionally. I may be scared, but I will not give up.”

"I'm very happy that you think so, and I believe Yiyi will be very happy too."

Xu Ran actually had the feeling that her daughter had finally grown up and ravaged Han Yike's head.

Han Yike enjoyed Xu Ran touching her head, closing her eyes like a kitten and rubbing her head back.

Perhaps seeing Han Yike's determination, Xu Ran seemed much more relaxed. He held Han Yike's hand and walked briskly on the street.

After all, there isn't much purpose in hanging out.

Xu Ran saw the Confucius Temple on the bus license plate route and asked Han Yike if he was interested in going there.

Han Yike naturally would not refuse.

The two then got on the bus to the Confucius Temple and drove back and forth for an hour before arriving at their destination.

The Confucius Temple is built on a hill, and the surrounding buildings are all modern, which makes the Confucius Temple seem a bit out of place.

There is no ticket required to enter, but the guard told me not to bring incense in. The temple will give you three incense sticks for free.

Xu Ran took a look and found that there were Taoist things in the Confucius Temple...

It can be said that the two were mixed together, which made Xu Ran look weird.

I thought I was here to see the experience of Saint Confucius and walk around and smell the incense. I didn't expect that there are gods and goddesses from all walks of life... This temple is not simple.

Han Yike naturally had no idea about this aspect and couldn't see the problem. He just asked Xu Ran from time to time what the immortal sculptures were for.

Wandering around the area, Han Yike got to know a circle of Taoist gods, which made her fascinated.

There are a lot of people in the Confucius Temple on weekends, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, but the young boy Xu Ran is a bit conspicuous.

When I came to the main hall, I saw Saint Kong. There were Laojun and Guanyin in the hall next to him.

There is a dedicated person at the door who delivers incense for free, but you can only burn three sticks, not more.

Either burn it to Lao Kong or burn it to the temple on the other side. After all, there is no reason to tear it apart and burn it. In a place like Nanzhou with a strong sacrificial culture, this kind of thing is even less likely to happen.

Xu Ran asked Han Yike who he wanted to burn.

Han Yike asked Xu Ran curiously: "Which one is more powerful, Saint Kong, or Laojun Guanyin over there?"

"Sage Kong is a human being, but he has a higher destiny. Laojun is Guanyin and a god. The two are incomparable."

"Does that mean Laojun and the others are more awesome?"

"It doesn't make sense for you to say that."

Xu Ran smiled and didn't know what to say.

"Then let's go pay homage to Laojun~"

Han Yike obviously didn't understand anything, but seeing so many people offering sacrifices with faith made her feel a little bit empathetic.

When they came to the Laojun Hall, there were statues of Taishangjun and Guanyin. Their shapes looked like the works of Ma Liang. Han Yike blinked and looked at them. She actually felt a strange feeling in her heart.

There were many people worshiping Laojun and Guanyin. Everyone kowtowed on their kneeling mats and muttered some prayers.

"Guanyin, I wish my son can do well in the English exam. He is the worst at this subject..."

Han Yike was surprised when he heard this and turned to look at Xu Ran: "Guanyin still cares about this."

"Gods...can take care of everything." Xu Ran smiled bitterly.

"Does Guanyin understand English?"

"I think she doesn't understand."

"Then isn't it troublesome for this aunt to pay homage to her like this?"

"Whether she helps her or not is one thing, but when she kneels down to offer sacrifices, what the Lord wants is peace of mind."

Han Yike scratched his head: "I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand. As long as you understand." Xu Ran pinched Han Yike's face and asked with a smile: "Do you want to give the three incense sticks to Laojun or Guanyin?"

"Let's give it to Guanyin, at least she is a woman."

Xu Ran wanted to explain whether Guanyin was a boy or a girl, but felt that Han Yike might not be able to understand it, so he didn't speak.

In Buddhism, Avalokitesvara naturally has a male body, but in Taoist culture, Avalokitesvara has a female body.

Anyway, there are both men and women.

Besides, this is a Confucian and Taoist temple, so it’s not wrong to regard Guanyin as a female.

The two of them burned incense. Xu Ran raised the incense and bowed three times before putting it on without thinking too much.

After putting the incense, he found Han Yike staring at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why didn't you make a wish like that aunt?"

Xu Ran smiled and said: "I promised it, and I promised it in my heart." In fact, he didn't.

"It can still be like this."

"Hurry up and bow too."

Han could also imitate Xu Ran's bowing method just now, and then put the incense in place.

After placing the incense, she slapped her palms together and said seriously.

"Mr. Guanyin is so lucky. I don't have any wishes. I just wish you good health and all the best."

Han Yike's sweet words spread in the hall, and other worshipers looked at him sideways, all amused by this cute girl.

Xu Ran laughed out loud and rubbed Han Yike's head. If Guanyin had a spirit, he would definitely protect this lovely and kind girl.

The two of them walked out of the side hall door, and Han Yike carefully explained why he made such a wish.

"So many people come to Guanyin every day to ask for help. How tired she is. Even a god will die from exhaustion."

There was a lottery booth at the side hall door, and when he saw some people shaking bamboo tubes, Han Yike couldn't help but be attracted to it.

Seeing that Han Yike was interested, Xu Ran pulled her over to take a look.

The little boy at the booth smiled widely: "Can you two ask for your signature?"

"What do you say when asking for a signature?"

"There is no charge for asking for a signature, but you can go to the Taoist under the tree next door to ask for the wallet corresponding to the signature. If you don't understand the signature, you can donate some incense money and ask the Taoist to interpret the signature."

"Thanks."

Han Yike looked at Xu Ran with wide eyes: "How is it?"

"It doesn't cost any money, do you want to try it?"

"Um!"

Han Yike was petite and had a childish face. Everyone thought the child was cute and made room for her.

She picked up the lottery tube in the same way, and was surprised to see Xu Ran didn't move.

"Xu Naitao, don't you want to play?"

Seeing Han Yike say the word 'play', he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Just do it."

"Then I won't be polite!"

After saying that, she shook the stick with a loud bang, and with the sound, a stick quickly fell down on the table.

Han can also put down the tube and pick up the sign to look at it. There are two very conspicuous words on the top of the sign - Xia Xia.

She frowned and looked at Xu Ran: "What do you mean?"

Xu Ran clicked his tongue: "This is a lottery, which means your luck is not very good."

The little Taoist boy said: "You can take a lottery ticket and go to the tree to ask for your wallet. Even if you place a lottery ticket, you will naturally have your own explanation. Unlocking the lottery ticket will unlock your luck. There is no problem."

"What? My luck is bad?!" Han Yike didn't care what the little Taoist said. When he saw that the lottery he drew said that she had bad luck, he got excited.

Han Yike's next behavior shocked others.

She threw the sign back into the tube, then pulled out a sign with the word "Shang Shang" engraved on it. She turned to look at Xu Ran: "Xu Naudun, is this a good sign this time?"

Xu Ran laughed: "You're all on it, can it be considered a good sign?"

"That's fine."

The little Taoist boy was surprised and quickly stopped him: "This... this is against the rules. The signature that has been requested cannot be changed..."

"What's against the rules?" Han Yike pouted in wonder, waving the sign in his hand, and instead lectured the other party: "Haven't you heard a sentence? It is said that fate is in one's own hands! Xu Daundun, let's go.

"

After saying that, she held the sign in her right hand and pulled Xu Ran out of the sign-seeking booth with her left hand.

The little Taoist boy and other visitors to the stall were stunned on the spot.

Could it still be like this?

If Xu Ran hadn't seen it inappropriate to make loud noises in the temple, he would have laughed out loud.

She is also too cute, and her fussing is obviously unreasonable, but in her eyes, it is all justified.

Han Yike didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. She seemed very happy. She took the lottery ticket and went to the tree to ask for the wallet from the old man.

Under the big sunny tree, there was a stall with many purses. The old Taoist mentioned by the Taoist children was leisurely drinking tea. When he saw a tourist coming with a sign, he calmly waved to the two of them to come over.

Coming closer, the old man directly took the lottery from Han Yike's hand and couldn't help but praise: "Good boy, this is a great lottery. You are very lucky."

Han Yike put his hands on his hips and raised his nose: "Humph, of course."

Xu Ran was snickering beside her.

"Then child, do you want to count your career, marriage, or study?" The old Taoist looked at the childish-faced girl in front of him. He thought it was study, but he still asked this question just for fun.

"Can I still choose?" Han Yike thought for a moment, "Then help me figure out my career."

"Well, it counts as study, right... eh?" The old Taoist was stunned when he was about to bend down to pick up one of the boxes of wallets. He turned around to confirm: "It counts as career? Do you count it for yourself or for him..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Ran.

"Nonsense, of course it is calculated for me. I asked for the lot myself, so how can I calculate it for others? How can you still have such rules? It's too chaotic." Han Yike couldn't help but feel disgusted.
