The two of them arrived at the door of Tang Seng's residence. Ye Chen knocked on the door, and after a while, Tang Seng came out of the room. Ye Chen could tell from his face that he had just woken up.
"Master, I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night. Brother Liu has something important to ask of us, so we have no choice but to look for you now," Ye Chen said respectfully.
"Amitabha, it's fine. Please speak, Almsgiver Liu." Tang Seng did not have any intention of reprimanding him. Liu Boqin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that.
"Master, it's like this. I just went back and told my mother about your great ability. She hopes that you can do us a favor."
"Amitabha. Almsgiver Liu saved our lives today and even provided us with food and shelter. I don't know how to repay you, but now that Almsgiver Liu has a favor to ask of me, I'll do my best to help."
Liu Boqin looked gratefully at Tang Seng and nodded. "It's easy to say, but I'm afraid it's very troublesome to do. I hope you can forgive me."
"Speaking of which, I don't know if it's God's arrangement that I'm able to meet you and Brother Ye today. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
"Brother Liu, please speak your mind." Tang Seng saw that Liu Boqin did not talk about his matter, so he glanced at Ye Chen. Ye Chen immediately understood what Tang Seng meant, so he urged him.
"Oh, it's like this. It's a coincidence that tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's death. My mother wants to ask you to send my deceased father to heaven so that he can transcend."
"Amitabha. Excellent. So that's what Almsgiver Liu wants. It's fine. I'll chant sutras for your mother tomorrow morning." Tang Seng immediately agreed.
Liu Boqin's eyes were full of gratitude. He did not expect Tang Seng to agree to his request so easily. He thought that he would have to spend more time talking, but he did not expect Tang Seng to agree so readily.
"Thank you, Mage." Liu Boqin bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Tang Seng. Tang Seng hurriedly straightened Liu Boqin's body and said, "Almsgiver Liu, you don't have to be so courteous. A monk is duty-bound to expiate the souls of the dead."
"That's right, Brother Liu. You don't have to be so courteous. I saw it just now. Your Excellency's mother purposely washed the small pot a few times to prepare vegetarian dishes for the Mage. So, this small matter is our way of repaying Brother Liu."
After they exchanged a few more words, Liu Boqin went back to his room gratefully. In order not to disturb Tang Seng's rest, Ye Chen also went back to his room.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen got up early. When he walked out of his room, he found that the Tang Seng was already in the courtyard preparing for the ceremony.
When everything was ready, the Tang Seng began to chant sutras for Liu Boqin's father.
He was very attentive. First, he chanted the mantra to purify the mouth, then he chanted the mantra to purify the body and mind. After that, he opened the "Sutra of Overcoming Death" and began to chant.
After he finished reciting the "Sutra of Overcoming Death", Liu Boqin asked the Tang Seng to write a letter of recommendation for death. After that, the Tang Seng recited the "Diamond Sutra" and the "Guanyin Sutra" loudly.
By the time he finished reciting the sutras, the sun had risen high in the sky. When Liu Boqin saw that it was lunchtime, he asked his wife to serve the vegetarian food. After the Tang Seng finished his meal, he continued to recite the sutras.
He recited the "Lotus Sutra" and the "Amitabha Sutra". After that, he recited the "Peacock Sutra". When he finished, the sky was already dark.
After the Tang Seng finished reciting the sutras, he slowly stood up and said, "Amitabha. The expiation is complete. My father should be able to transcend."
"Thank you, Mage!" Liu Boqin said loudly. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down to express his gratitude. Ye Chen reacted quickly and immediately supported Liu Boqin.
"Amitabha. Almsgiver Liu, you don't have to be so polite. Your family has provided us with a lot of convenience. We really have nothing to repay you with, so we can only repay you with this."
