Shen Miao waved her hands. She only felt that this dream was strange and had some unknown shame and indignation so she simply did not say anything. After eating and washing up, one went out of the door and saw Luo Xue Yan and the rest waiting in the hall. What made Shen Miao surprised was that other than Luo Tan, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling were also there.
Luo Xue Yan said, "Since it's an incense offering, the younger generation should all go together to pray for the blessings of Buddha."
Shen Xin said, "Then I will also go along."
"Why are you going?" Luo Xue Yan hated that he didn't understand her meaning and said, "You don't have to go."
Shen Qiu was puzzled why his Father could not go but Shen Miao understood in her heart. It seemed that Luo Xue Yan not only wanted her and Luo Tan to throw the red ropes, most likely she also wanted Shen Qiu and Luo Ling to throw it. After all Shen Qiu and Luo Ling had reached the age to marry. But... wasn't the Tree of Cultivating Destinies something that only women could throw? If it was really hung up, could it be that Shen Qiu and Luo Ling would become cut sleeves in the future? Shen Miao could not help but shiver.
Without wasting too much time, everyone quickly set off. The distance between Pu Tuo Monastery and the Shen mansion was somewhat far. If they set off in the morning, it would be close to noon when they arrived. Along the way, Luo Tan was in high spirits and kept asking Luo Xue Yan if Pu Tuo Temple was really so magical.
As Luo Xue Yan spoke, she indeed led the topic to the 'Tree of Karma'. When Luo Tan heard the news about the Tree of Cultivating Destinies, she found it very interesting and said, "This is somewhat similar to a custom of our Xiao Chun City, but since Pu Tuo Monastery is a famous monastery, then this Tree of Cultivating Destinies should be very efficacious." She shook Shen Miao's arm, "Biao Youngest Sister, how about we also go and throw the red rope?"
"Aren't you not in a rush to marry?" Shen Miao looked at her from the corner of her eyes.
Luo Tan lightly coughed twice: "Even so, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Luo Xue Yan also said, "Jiao Jiao, Tan 'er, when we arrive at Pu Tuo Temple, the two of you should also throw the red rope. Whether you are going to marry or not, you will be able to gain some good luck, won't you?"
Luo Tan excitedly complied. Luo Tan had long known of her Mother's plans and had no choice but to comply.
But it was said that they were on their way to the ancient temple that had existed for hundreds of years in Ming Qi. In one of the meditation rooms, the incense was curling up and at the moment there was a seventy year old monk sitting there.
This monk had a kind and benevolent countenance. He really looked like a disciple of the Buddha. He wore a red Kasaya and held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. The young monk beside him asked, "Master, we've been waiting here for several days. Will the fated one really come?"
"This poor monk has been waiting here for many days for her arrival," the old monk said lightly.
"But I've waited for a long time." The little monk was only in his teens and was at the age where he was curious. He quickly asked, "When will he come?"
The old monk did not speak and only silently turned the Buddhist beads in his hand. Suddenly, he stopped turning the Buddhist beads and repeatedly stroked a round Buddhist bead between his fingers.
After a while, the old monk smiled.
"In a moment," he said.
…
When Shen Miao and entourage reached Pu Tuo Monastery, it was not even noon. Perhaps it was because the horses ran hard today or the coachman drove the carriage well or the road was much smoother. In short, the journey that would normally take five and a half hours was completed in less than four hours today.
The few of them jumped off the carriage and Shen Qiu and Luo Ling also flipped off their horses. They saw that in the middle of the mountain in the lush forest, there was an ancient temple. Because of the layers of clouds, it was like a fairyland. In addition to the distant Buddhist sounds, one could not help but feel a sense of awe.
Luo Tan sighed, "Really has the style of a famous temple."
Luo Xue Yan instructed, "Qiu-er, Ling-er, both of you dismount first. I will bring Tan-er and Jiao Jiao in."
After Shen Qiu and Luo Ling left, the guards of the Shen residence followed Shen Miao and entourage. Luo Tan saw a tree that was hung with red ropes from afar and said, "This is the Tree of Cultivating Destinies? Youngest Gu, quickly come and see. It is so big! "
Luo Xue Yan smiled, "Let us first go and buy the red ropes."
Shen Miao followed behind both of them and felt helpless in her heart. Luo Tan ran very fast and Luo Xue Yan had a fiery temperament, thus Shen Miao was left behind. But with the guards of the Shen residence and Cong Yang in the dark, Shen Miao was not worried at all.
When she followed Luo Xue Yan and the rest into a Buddhist hall, Shen Miao's skirt was suddenly pulled by someone. She turned back to look and saw a person in Taoist robes squatting at the side of the threshold.
How would there be people from the Taoist sects in a Buddhist place?
This Taoist priest's clothes were tattered and there was a lot pot in front of him and a horsetail whisk in his hand. One did not know why but it was somewhat comical. He was around forty years of age and had a small moustache as he looked at Shen Miao with bright eyes.
"Young Lady, this poor Taoist sees that your glabella is dark and one fear that there will be a bloody calamity. There are green circles under your eyes and there will be trouble with peach blossoms. Do you want this poor Taoist to read your fortune? "
"Where did this lunatic come from. Full of nonsense! "Jing Zhe was extremely angry.
Shen Miao pulled out the corner of her skirt and was about to walk forward without looking sideways.
But she heard that person saying, "Even though a Phoenix's life is good, it is a pity to be imprisoned for a lifetime."
