Five days later, late at night, when Gao Ning and Dr. Huang came to Guandi Temple again, they found that the place was empty.
The beggars that were everywhere before seemed to have suddenly disappeared, leaving only weeds in the yard, swaying in the night wind.
Dr. Huang was a little scared. Looking at the dark and dilapidated main hall of Guandi Temple, she couldn't help but grab Gao Ning's arm, instinctively leaned closer, and whispered: "Is this really here?
Could it be a mistake?"
Gao Ning looked at her speechlessly.
Doctor Huang said belatedly: "What's wrong?"
"Sister!" Gao Ning said helplessly: "You are also a psychiatrist. You are highly educated and highly qualified and have an overseas diploma. Can you be more confident?
It's not like you haven't heard what the old monk Kumu said. We have been in Hangzhou for almost four or five days. We were basically idle during the day. We have been wandering around, looking for a second Guandi Temple that might exist. Have you found it?
"
Doctor Huang shook his head.
Gao Ning spread his hands: "Isn't this the case? There is no second Guandi Temple in the whole city of Hangzhou. Isn't this the heaven?"
Dr. Huang was a little embarrassed. He pinched Gao Ning lightly and said angrily: "Just say what you say. Why are you so arrogant? Are you asking for a beating?"
Gao Ning was speechless for a moment.
This woman's self-exploitation speed has been extremely high in the past two days. Since she expressed her feelings that night, her favorability has been rising steadily recently. It seems that she has decided that Gao Ning cannot escape. Between her movements, she began to bring out the couple.
interaction between.
Although Gao Ning didn't hate it and even enjoyed it a little, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
After all, there are three others waiting for him at home, so to provoke another one out of nowhere is really a big mistake.
Although Dr. Huang's dishes are indeed his own dish, but...
Forget it, let's not give any hints, just leave it at that.
Gao Ning quickly suppressed those unwanted thoughts and enjoyed this little ambiguity with peace of mind.
But now is not the time for joking, after all, there are serious things to do.
Gao Ning looked around and saw that the surroundings were indeed a bit gloomy, so he reached out and took Dr. Huang's weak hand, picked up the bamboo basket next to him, and walked towards the main door of the main hall.
Squeak!
The sound of wood rubbing against each other was heard, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open, revealing the dark main hall inside.
The two of them entered one after another. Gao Ning took out two strong-light flashlights from his arms and handed one to Dr. Huang. With the other's confused eyes, he directly pushed the switch and the strong light shone out, and the lobby suddenly lit up.
Like daytime.
Dr. Huang was surprised at first, and then he opened his own with a smile on his face. He also looked for someone who was interested to control the flashlight, shine it left and right, and look specifically at the nooks and crannies.
"What are you doing?" Gao Ning asked in confusion.
"Look around! With such a strong light, even if there are any monsters hiding, they will be killed directly, right?" Dr. Huang asked expectantly.
Gao Ning twitched his lips: "Hehehe... As long as you are happy!"
Too lazy to pay attention to this guy with an out-of-the-box imagination, he pulled her straight to the front of the statue of Emperor Guan.
After all, it is a temple that is cleaned and worshiped by people. The store is relatively clean and does not have too much odor.
The entire hall is slightly empty. Except for a huge statue sitting in the front, there are large and small rankings on the incense table, and an incense burner about half a person tall. There is a thick layer of incense ash inside, and there is an incense burner in front of it.
A small merit box with the four characters "immeasurable merit" written on it.
Further forward, there are two rows of eight futons in total.
At first glance, this futon is made of woven straw, but the weaving is relatively tight. Although there are some rough edges around it due to frequent use, it is still very strong.
Doctor Huang looked around and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Of course I came as I was told!"
Gao Ning placed the bamboo basket in front of him and pulled off the red cloth covering it. Inside were three plates of tribute and a small incense burner.
The incense burner is only about the size of a palm. It is made of ceramics and is coated with gold paint. It looks shiny and golden. The mysterious lines on the surface neither form words nor spells. They just look very comfortable.
Gao Ning first placed the incense burner on the altar table, and finally stretched out his hand to poke it, and there were three more burning incense sticks in his hand.
He raised his head and glanced at Guandi, who was sitting there with Damajintao. After thinking about it, he bowed three times respectfully and put the incense in the incense burner.
"Come and help me place the tributes!"
Doctor Huang responded, stepped forward and placed the three offerings in front of the small incense burner. Green smoke curled up and gradually dispersed, covering Emperor Guan's majestic face, giving him a somewhat solemn feeling.
Gao Ning thought for a while, then refined a few more red candles, placed them in two rows on the left and right, and lit them one after another. After turning off the flashlight, the dazzling white light in the room disappeared, leaving only the slightly beating candlelight.
The two people returned to the futon, knelt down side by side, clasped their hands and bowed again.
After doing all this, Dr. Huang looked at Gao Ning: "What should we do next?"
Gao Ning shrugged: "I don't know, Old Monk Kumu didn't say anything, he should just let us stay here!"
"So we can't go out until this incense burns out?"
"right!"
Gao Ning nodded.
The hall became quiet again, and all you could hear was the whistling of the wind outside and the faint beating of the candlelight, the fierce sound of the breeze blowing by.
Although the voice was not loud, it represented a trace of anger, which made Dr. Huang less anxious than before.
The two of them changed from kneeling to sitting, and stared at each other for a while, neither knowing what to do.
Gao Ning suggested: "Would you like to take a nap?"
"No!" Dr. Huang refused without hesitation. In order to burn incense tonight, he had been preparing for the past few days and had already slept enough.
"What about something to eat?"
Dr. Huang rolled his eyes: "Can you eat it?"
Gao Ning shrugged, he was not hungry to begin with.
"Then you can't sit like this all night, right?"
Gao Ning didn't mind. Anyway, with his current physical fitness and the assistance of the golden formation, let alone sitting, he wouldn't feel any discomfort even if he stood upside down all night.
But Dr. Huang can't do it. After all, she is a mortal body.
Can we just waste it like this?
Doctor Huang obviously noticed something was wrong. She thought for a while, then suddenly took out the scroll from behind her back, unwrapped it and unfolded it.
Gao Ning raised his eyebrows: "Study it here?"
"Any questions?"
Gao Ning pointed at the statue of Emperor Guan. Doctor Huang thought for a moment and asked, "Does Emperor Guan still care about catching ghosts?"
"Well……"
This really confused Gao Ning, he didn’t know either!
Doctor Huang comforted: "Okay, didn't Master Caolu say it? She is not a ghost, she can only be regarded as a remnant soul that has not been fully reincarnated. Moreover, she has a very close relationship with me, so Guan Di should not care about her.
We were busy in various ways before, but now we rarely have time to study it together?"
