Shangfo Temple was located on a high mountain in Hejian County. From the foot of the mountain to the temple, there were a total of 999 steps made of green bricks. They curved all the way to the top of the mountain. Along the way, there were pilgrims in twos and threes. They carried bamboo baskets with incense, candles, and other items in them.
Jiang Pengji didn't believe in Buddha, but she had to admit that the scenery from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain was full of Zen.
The stream was murmuring, and ancient trees were towering. She could vaguely hear the melodious sound of bells and the peaceful chanting of Buddhist scriptures in the distance.
The sky turned from dark to bright. The mountains in the distance were shrouded in the red glow of the morning sun. Accompanied by the calming sound of Buddha, they welcomed the arrival of a new day. Even Jiang Pengji, who disdained Buddha, felt a lot more open-minded at that moment.
The sound of wooden clogs landing on the stone floor rang out, one step after another, each step carrying a leisurely charm.
Liu She wore a brand new dark green robe. The size was much better than the clothes he wore the day before. It also showed how thin he was.
His black hair was meticulously arranged, and his face was trimmed clean. He looked refreshed, and his fingernails and toenails were meticulously trimmed. There was even a hint of sandalwood fragrance on his body. His face was solemn and solemn, which showed how much he valued this vow.
Jiang Pengji held a food box in her hand. It contained incense, candles, lamp oil, gold paper, and fruits for the ceremony. Of course, she secretly weighed the box. The weight did not match the real thing. There might be real money in it. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w

"When your two elder brothers passed away due to illness, Ah Min had worshiped her way up to the Buddhist temple step by step, begging Buddha for mercy …"
Although he maintained a leisurely pace and breathing rate, Liu She's body was not strong. He had only climbed a third of the way, and his forehead was already sweating. He had taken medicine the day before. Although his fever had subsided in the middle of the night, his body was still weak. Even his lips were pale.
"Didn't father say that mother's health is not good? Why did she do it? What's the use of praying to Buddha instead of seeking medical help when she's sick? " Jiang Pengji didn't understand. According to her guess, her mother didn't seem like a person who believed in gods or Buddha.
"That's right. Getting sick is the job of the doctors. What's the use of praying to the gods and Buddha? If all the gods and Buddhas were useful, how could your two brothers have died? Ah Min also scoffs at gods and Buddhas, but … sometimes when there is no other way out, not to mention gods and Buddhas, even a swindler can be a straw to save the people. Hope is firmly grasped in our hands. "Liu She sighed as he walked, as if he was recalling something.
In the end, he couldn't save the child's life. The continuous blows had taken half his wife's life. Didn't that mean he was also taking his life?
Since he couldn't persuade her, what else could he do besides accompanying her and fooling around?
He hated himself for not being a doctor, for not being able to cure the illness and save the life.
"Fortunately, you are still alive. Today, I have come to fulfill my wish. I hope that your mother and brother can see you and protect your future happiness."
Jiang Pengji held the food box in silence. She was not Liu Lanting. "Father, you know very well that I'm not …"
"Oh, you are the daughter that Ah Min wants … Don't let your imagination run wild." Liu She seemed to have a habit of patting her head. Since he had taken two more steps, it was not difficult for him to do so. "She will only be completely at ease in the other world if you live a good life."
Jiang Pengji didn't understand. She looked at Liu She's slightly thin back, feeling that there was another layer of meaning in his words.
Liu She took Jiang Pengji and the old housekeeper to Shangfo Temple before the sun rose. The long climb up the mountain made their legs ache. Finally, they reached the top of the mountain when the sun was high up in the sky. They saw the temple hidden in the lush forest.
The temple was surrounded by lush green books. Layers of fresh flowers and plants clustered around the fading walls of the courtyard. The greenish-gray roof of the temple showed a youthful charm under the sunlight. The ancient trees were bathed in the morning light. They could hear the deep ringing of bells and the chirping of birds.
The area of Shangfo Temple was not large, but the age of its construction made it look like an old man standing on the top of the mountain, watching the changes of the world day after day.
"Shangfo Temple was built before the Sixteen Kingdoms War. At that time, Buddhist temples flourished and there were countless temples …" Liu She gave a brief introduction of Shangfo Temple and led Jiang Pengji into the main hall. He bowed to a middle-aged monk and asked, "Is Master Liaochen here?"
"The master is waiting for you in the meditation room in the side hall. Please follow me."
The monk in the gray robe bowed back as if he had expected it. He looked humble and pious.
Jiang Pengji observed the surroundings out of boredom. There were already many worshippers in the main hall. There were men and women, young and old. They added some liveliness to the old temple. As she was thinking, she heard Liu She calling her name.
After passing through a corridor, Jiang Pengji followed Liu She to a meditation room.
Before she stepped in, she heard a conversation between Liu She and an old monk.
"It's been seven years. How have you been, Master Liu?"
Liu She responded calmly, "Everything is fine."
"Master Liu, you still have resentment in your heart. It's hard for you to be well."
Jiang Pengji laughed in her heart. The old monk's words made her feel like he deserved a beating.
Liu She's voice was filled with resentment. "Since Master Liaochen already knows, why ask?"
"This must be the beloved daughter of Benefactor Liu and Benefactor Gu, right?" When the old monk saw Jiang Pengji enter, he raised his head and glanced at her. Then, he quickly lowered his head again. The speed at which he twirled the prayer beads in his hand increased. "Good, good. Why have you come to the peaceful place of Buddhism?"
Jiang Pengji was baffled. She felt a slight chill in her heart. It was as if someone had seen through her. She was very unhappy.
Because the stream started earlier, it took a while for the audience to come in. Someone could not help but post a bullet screen when they saw the scene.
Feiqiu Qiyu Huoyou: "Host, let me tell you something. Whenever you travel through time, there must be a strange monk!"
Jiang Pengji secretly raised her eyebrows. Even though she did not know what the law of time travel was, the monk in front of her was indeed strange.
"Of course, I followed my father here to fulfill my vow. Otherwise, why would I spend so much effort to climb the mountain and not sleep in my bed? Why would I come here?" Jiang Pengji was baffled, but she still followed the advice and sat down on the cushion beside Liu She.
Her words were considered disrespectful, but the old monk in front of her did not show any anger. Instead, he smiled kindly.
"Ziwei Destroys the Army. The emperor's aura is faintly discernible. Too much is as bad as not enough." The old monk said calmly, "When you stepped into this humble temple, your blood pressure caused the Buddha's aura to fluctuate. If it were not for the stone steps in the temple, I'm afraid … "
