The Tiger Talisman has been obtained, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved. Xue Chen's original intention was to fly back to Haicheng tomorrow, but Wei Shilong firmly refused.
"Xue Chen, why are you in such a hurry to go back? It's better to stay for two more days. I think it's better. At the beginning of the new year, why don't you go to Wutai Mountain for a walk, burn a stick of incense, and pray for yourself and your family?" Wei Shilong suggested.
"Mount Wutai..." After Wei Shilong's reminder, Xue Chen remembered that Mount Wutai is located in Xishan Province.
He has really never been to Mount Wutai, but he has heard of its name for a long time, and has also learned about it from trees and on the Internet.
Mount Wutai is the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, the other three being Mount Putuo, Mount Jiuhua and Mount Emei.
In addition, Mount Wutai, together with Lumbini Garden in Nepal, Wild Deer Park in India, Bodh Gaya, and Kushinagar, has become the world's five major Buddhist holy sites, with more than 90 complete temples.
"Yes, yes, Xue Chen, you finally came to Xishan once, how could you not go to Mount Wutai to see it? It's like you went to the capital but didn't visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. It's the beginning of the year now.
It's a good time to go to burn incense and pray for blessings. It will definitely be very lively. I happened to be thinking about this two days ago, and it just so happens that the two of us can go together." Wei Lingyue said happily.
"Okay then, I will bother Mr. Wei for two more days." Xue Chen nodded and agreed, deciding to stay for another two days and take a look at Mount Wutai.
The next day, Wei Lingyue drove Xue Chen in a Maserati coupe and arrived at Mount Wutai after more than an hour's drive.
Wutai Mountain is located in the Loess Plateau, and the vegetation is relatively sparse. But from a high place, you can see temples everywhere, and... tourists.
Now is the beginning of the new year, which is the peak tourist season. Tourists from all over the country come to Wutai Mountain to offer incense and pray for blessings, which makes the place crowded with tourists and very lively.
Wei Lingyue had been to Wutai Mountain many times and knew the place quite well. After buying the tickets, she took Xue Chen around, going in and out of temples and courtyards, going to Xiantong Temple, walking past Wanfo Pavilion, and arriving at Wutai Mountain.
Go to the temple to burn incense, worship Buddha and pray for blessings.
After walking out of the Wuye Temple, Wei Lingyue turned her head and looked at Xue Chen, and asked in a very serious tone: "Xue Chen, I saw you were very careless when you prayed just now. You must be sincere in your prayers!"
"Oh, really?" Xue Chen smiled faintly. He did follow the trend of burning incense and worshiping Buddha just now, but when it came to sincere prayers, he really didn't care too much. Most people prayed for peace, wealth, and official luck, and these
He doesn't need to pray to others. With his jade eyes, even the Buddhas who kneel all over the country cannot compare.
Compared to Xue Chen's formality, Wei Lingyue had just earnestly burned incense and prayed for the health and safety of her family, and wished that her father and her career would prosper. Of course, an unmarried girl would pray for a good marriage.
Thinking of this, Wei Lingyue subconsciously glanced at Xue Chen secretly from the corner of her eye, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart, feeling that things are impermanent.
When she was in college, she was "isolated" because she rarely took the initiative to communicate with her classmates, and the only few girls she had a fairly good relationship with. As for Xue Chen, she basically had no memory, except for sending her love letters.
However, it was later confirmed that it was just a mistake. It was not that Xue Chen wrote a love letter to her, but that it was delivered to someone else.
So in general, during the four years of college, her interaction with Xue Chen was basically zero, and her understanding of Xue Chen was limited to the fact that Xue Chen's life was relatively poor. It could be seen from his daily clothes that he was a very ordinary person.
In addition to being a boy who looked very strong, she remembered that Xue Chen seemed to be the vice president of some kind of Sanda club, but at the time she scoffed at him and didn't care at all.
According to her past thinking, classmates like Xue Chen were destined not to be on the same level as her. After graduation, they would be divided into two worlds. She would join her father's company and in the future she would be in charge of billions of family assets with her husband.
As for Xue Chen, like many normal college graduates, she will enter a company and work from the bottom up. Those with outstanding abilities may serve as managers of a department in seven or eight years, such as Yin Shaowei and Yang Guang, whom she has a deep memory of.
First-class, after all, he showed some talents in college...
And the most ordinary graduates like Xue Chen, who have not had any outstanding moments in four years of college, will only do worse.
But now, she realized that she was wrong, at least in her judgment of Xue Chen. This classmate who was silent in college suddenly rose up after graduation and became the most dazzling star in the entire class.
, although she still doesn’t have a completely clear understanding of how far Xue Chen’s career has developed, she is certain that it will not be bad.
What made her even more ashamed was that the male classmate she looked down on in the past had helped her twice in a row. Otherwise, no matter which time Xue Chen didn't show up, she and his father would have suffered serious changes.
"Well……"
It was precisely because of this that she had to face Xue Chen, and gradually discovered that this college classmate seemed to make her feel more and more different. Although he still looked ordinary on the surface, he was like a calm sea.
Likewise, no one can tell the depth below.
Naturally, she felt a little strange about Xue Chen, and couldn't help but cast more eyes on Xue Chen's face...
Xue Chen was admiring the surrounding temple buildings and the tourists passing by. He didn't notice the change in Wei Lingyue's eyes, let alone understand Wei Lingyue's thoughts, until someone called Wei Lingyue's name.
He stopped.
Wei Lingyue, who was thinking about something, suddenly heard someone calling her name, and the voice was vaguely familiar. She subconsciously looked up, and when she saw the person calling her name clearly, a trace of anger and sadness flashed in her eyes.
Xue Chen looked over and saw that the person calling Wei Lingyue's name was a very eye-catching girl with an oval face. She looked about the same age, both in her twenties and forties, but if you look closely, you will find that the girl's chin is scary and pointed, like
It looks like an awl, and makes people worry that if they lower their heads, they will prick their chests. They obviously have had plastic surgery.
The girl was holding the arm of a handsome man who was dressed like a Korean star. Next to the man and woman was a ten-year-old young man.
"Wei Lingyue, I didn't expect to meet you here. We haven't seen each other for a year or two." The girl with the awl face glanced at Wei Lingyue with a smile, and naturally glanced at Xue who was beside Wei Lingyue.
Chen Chen raised his eyes and looked at Xue Chen from top to bottom, "Is this your new boyfriend? It seems like your taste is getting worse and worse."
Wei Lingyue's face was slightly cold and she shouted: "Jiang Beibei, shut your mouth!"
Xue Chen on the side was immediately speechless, and felt quite depressed in his heart. Let’s not mention whether he was Wei Lingyue’s boyfriend, so why was his taste getting worse and worse? He looked down at himself, and there were no arms or legs missing.
, the clothes were quite neat and clean, there was nothing wrong with him, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly in my heart, and shook my head.
"Wei Lingyue, don't be angry. You know, I am an outspoken person. I will say whatever I say." Jiang Beibei said with the corner of her mouth raised, and hugged the arm of the man next to her with a slightly unnatural expression even tighter.
"Beibei, let's go. Didn't we agree to go to Wuye Temple to offer incense?" the man said, glancing at Wei Lingyue with a guilty and evasive look.
"Guanghua, don't worry, it's rare to meet an old classmate from high school, so naturally I want to chat more." Jiang Beibei raised her chin slightly and hummed.
Wei Lingyue looked at the man opposite her, her eyes complex and even more angry.
Xue Chen, who was standing aside, looked around between the three people and vaguely guessed their relationship. They should be high school classmates and there might be some emotional entanglements between them.
While Xue Chen was looking at these three people with great interest, the young man of 17 or 18 who was following Jiang Beibei was staring at Xue Chen...
"Wei Lingyue, I think you have met Guanghua and my brother. You don't need to introduce me. Well, don't you want to introduce the person next to you to me?" Jiang Beibei came closer and smiled.
After saying this, he looked at Xue Chen again and said, "This person looks familiar to me. I don't remember that there is such a person in the circle that I often hang out in Pingze City."
"Jiang Beibei, this is Wutai Mountain and a temple. I don't want to be angry with you. Who he is has nothing to do with you. There is no need to tell you." Wei Lingyue replied tit for tat.
"Ha, why, are you embarrassed to introduce me? Are you embarrassed to say it?" Jiang Beibei gave a sweet smile.
Damn it, Xue Chen really doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh. It’s okay to forget that this girl has a dispute with Wei Lingyue. Why did she bring him in? She stepped on him one after another and was angry.
It’s hard to talk about it, it just feels quite baffling.
"Xue Chen, let's go." Wei Lingyue didn't want to continue to be entangled, so she grabbed Xue Chen's sleeve and wanted to leave.
"Okay." Xue Chen nodded. He was not naive enough to argue with others over such a trivial matter, or to get angry and make the matter worse. He came here for fun, and he might leave Xishan Province tomorrow, maybe for the rest of his life.
There is no need to feel bad because you can no longer meet this girl named Jiang Beibei.
Seeing Wei Lingyue pulling Xue Chen away, Jiang Beibei's face showed a look of victory, while the man named Guanghua looked a little embarrassed.
But at this moment, the young man of seventeen or eighteen years old who had never made a sound suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "I know you, you are Brother Mystery!"
Several people were frightened. What happened? What kind of mysterious brother?
Jiang Beibei turned around and asked: "Xiao Tao, what are you talking about? What mysterious brother?"
Jiang Taotao pointed at Xue Chen excitedly: "That's him, he's the mysterious brother!" (To be continued)
