Lin Wan’er (ni) is well-versed in the Book of Changes and the art of divination, while also holding a deep respect for Buddhism and Taoism. She finds herself in awe of the ancient temple, steeped in rich history.
Upon Lin Wan’er’s (ni) arrival at Zhongfeng, where the revered Qixia Temple is situated, she was greeted just in time by ire and ine.
Although the two had already parked their car, ine struggled with her mobility. With ire’s assistance, she carefully ascended the stairs using crutches, managing to reach Qixia Temple after much effort.
As it was a weekday, the morning saw a limited number of pilgrims and visitors at Qixia Temple. Lin Wan’er (ni) made her way to the main hall but paused before entering. From her handbag, she retrieved three sticks of incense, ignited them, and approached the incense burner outside the hall’s entrance.
With her hands holding the incense to her forehead, Lin Wan’er (ni) bowed slightly and spoke softly, “Ancestors of the Lin family, I, Lin Wan’er (ni), the unfilial descendant, havee to pay my respects. I am now thest of the Lin lineage. I have faced countless hardships to be here today, and I hope you understand. Please do not hold my father or our ancestors responsible for the decline of our family…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
A moment of contemtion washed over Lin Wan’er (ni) before she added, “Perhaps they are already with you, having exined everything in person…”
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she spoke.
Throughout thest six centuries, the Lin family has endured significant trials. They faced numerous crises that affected both family and country, leading many once-prominent families to lose their legacies. Lin Wan’er (ni) felt a sense of gratitude for her survival amidst such adversity.
After a brief silence, Lin Wan’er (ni) ced the three sticks of incense into the burner, wiped away her tears, and turned to enter the Daxiong Hall.
Inside the hall, a grand statue of Sakyamuni towered ten meters high at the center.
Before the Buddha statue, three futonsy ready for worshippers. As Lin Wan’er stepped inside, the pilgrim on the left futon had just finished their prayers, allowing her to kneel down reverently before the statue. With her hands sped and eyes gently closed, she silently meditated, “My Lord Buddha, I am Lin Wan’er (ni), your humble disciple. I beseech you to bless me in avenging my father’s death during my lifetime. Once I have achieved this, I promise to return to Qixia Temple to offer incense and restore your golden body!”
At that moment, ine, with ire’s help, limped into the Daxiong Pce.
Since ine’s right leg was in a ster cast, ire supported her on the right side. The futons in the middle and to the right were now vacant, so ire guided ine forward.
Given her injury, ine found it challenging to kneel, so she extended her right leg behind her, mimicking a runner’s stance, and knelt on her left knee.
With a serious expression, ine then prayed, “Buddha, I implore you to bless my live streaming poprity in three days and help me earn a significant ie. Please also keep an eye on that unpleasant person, souna. What is she up to now? If she stands up, know that the responsibility lies beyond my control! As ‘Journey to the West’ mentions the strong bond between the Buddha of the Western Paradise and the Jade Emperor, I hope you can remind him. If he doesn’t, please do open your eyes…”
While Lin Wan’er (ni) was deeply engrossed in her prayer, she was taken aback by the woman beside her and the increasingly outrageous things she was saying. Unable to help herself, she opened her eyes and nced to the right, spotting ine earnestlyining, “Buddha, you have no idea! souna, that awful person, is truly despicable! She was the one who tricked me in the first ce…”<fn7021> This update is avable on find?novel</fn7021>
ire, feeling a mix of embarrassment and concern, looked at her mother and whispered, “Mom… what are you saying here…”
