Chapter 1004 Goodbye by Fate

"OK, thanks."

Bai Zhi showed an awkward yet polite smile and pulled Xiao Ai into the mountain gate. This eldest sister looks kind-hearted, but why does she speak so mysteriously?

According to her past experience, all people who practice Buddhism are very kind. Why is it that the layman this eldest sister said looks so much like the legendary magic stick!

The middle-aged woman saw Bai Zhi's hesitation and said quickly: "Don't believe it. I heard that that person is an expert from Fang Wai. No one who has met him calls him a liar. If you bring your child with you, maybe you are destined to meet him." Let’s meet.”

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, we will try to meet you."

A family of three walked into the temple, and Lu Juefeng donated a lot of money for incense.

Although Buddhism is a quiet place, the activities of monks here also require real money. A big and generous patron like Lu Juefeng naturally receives special treatment.

The abbot came to meet him in person, and with the help of specialized monks, he lit a stick of Dagao incense that was one meter high. In the square tripod incense burner outside the Main Hall, does the incense sparkle? "Amitabha, the benefactor's family is very blessed. The couple plays the piano and the harp in harmony, and the children are safe and healthy."

In Lu Juefeng's view, it was normal for the incense to contain flammable chemicals and sparks to appear. However, when he heard the blessing, he still clasped his hands and returned the gift in accordance with temple customs.

Xiao Ai struggled for a long time, and now her eyelids started to fight. The abbot arranged for a young novice to take Lu Juefeng and his family to a side room to rest, and delivered dinner in time.

Xiao Ai was so tired that she yawned all day long and wanted to sleep while sitting on the single bed. But when she saw the table full of food, her appetite suddenly increased, "It's delicious. The food here is more delicious than the meat."

Click, click, click, the most ordinary cucumber was eaten by her and it felt like a delicacy.

Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Ai's oily little mouth and kept picking up food for her.

While she was picking up food for Xiao Ai, Lu Juefeng kept adding bricks and tiles to her bowl. Soon, small tall buildings were piled on top of the rice.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lu Juefeng said one word. Ma Dong walked in with a respectful expression.

Bai Zhi suddenly had the illusion that this was not a temple, but Lu Juefeng's office.

Ma Dong said: "Mr. Lu, I just asked the masters in the temple. The master you mentioned is not a monk in this temple. He should be Miaolian layman who came to Longyin Temple for wandering. He is on the fifteenth day of the month. I have been meditating at the top of the mountain for the past two days. If anything happens, I have to go find him in person."

"Okay, I will go see him in person."

"Mr. Lu, there is still some distance from here to the top of the mountain. The road has not been repaired, and the mountain road is even more difficult to walk at night. Why don't we wait until tomorrow?" Ma Dong reminded us very thoughtfully.

"No, just get ready, I'm going today."

"I'll go too!" Xiao Ai had enough to eat and drink, and was resurrected with full blood. She seemed to be very active in the temple's activities.

When she was lighting incense in the Main Hall, Bai Zhi was afraid that the smoke from the incense would hit her, so she took the initiative to move forward.

Bai Zhi suddenly thought that when she first went up the mountain, the powerful layman who wandered to Longyin Temple that the elder sister said could be the master Lu Juefeng was looking for.

If he was the one who solved Lu Juefeng's signature, that person should have some skills.

Bai Zhi suddenly became interested, "Let's go together."

Ma Dong also expected Bai Zhi to say a word to persuade Mr. Lu not to act at night, but she actively supported it.

this……

"I'll go down and make arrangements right away." Ma Dong lowered his head and left resignedly.

Compared with the steps up the mountain, the road from the temple to the top of the mountain is steeper.

The closer you get to the top, the steeper the slope becomes, and the rocks on the mountain are weathered by wind and sun and disintegrate, leaving many gravels on the road.

Bai Zhi walked very slowly, taking every step carefully for fear of falling.

Lu Juefeng picked up Xiao Ai with his right hand and Bai Zhi with his left hand.

The full moon in the sky shines on Lu Juefeng's broad shoulders. Viewed from the back, the family of three seems to be cuddling tightly together, creating a warm scene.

After walking through this gravel road, there is a relatively gentle path ahead, with a few small trees squeezed out of the cracks on both sides.

Under the moonlight, the ground should have reflected the shadow of the trees, but the strong flashlights in the hands of the bodyguards dispersed the natural moonlight image.

Lu Juefeng frowned slightly and ordered: "Turn off the flashlight."

What?

Ma Dong was stunned for two seconds, looking at the moonlight in the sky. It was big, round, white and bright, but he obviously had a flashlight in his hand, so why did he use the most primitive lighting?

"Mr. Lu, this is not safe." Ma Dong advised from behind.

Lu Juefeng turned around and glanced at Ma Dong. Although the night was dark, Ma Dong gave up the moment Lu Juefeng turned around. He was the first to turn off the flashlight.

Bai Zhi didn't understand why and turned off the flashlight. In fact, she was a little afraid of the dark, but at the last moment when she turned off the flashlight, the surroundings did not become as dark as she imagined.

The moonlight was like water, spreading quietly on the ground, and the surrounding scene became clearer.

The ancient temple in the deep mountains has winding paths leading to secluded places. For a moment, they seemed to have traveled through thousands of years from the noisy city, just like the ancients, carrying the spirit of walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms, crossing dangerous and remote areas to explore for magnificent treasures.

Listening to the silence of the world around her, Bai Zhi leaned next to Lu Juefeng and even heard his heartbeat.

Xiao Ai suddenly pointed to the ground and said excitedly: "Daddy, these stones on the ground are so bright, as if there are stars shining."

Everyone also looked at the ground. The flashlight was too bright just now, so no one noticed that these stones were actually glowing with scattered stars. It's a bit like the popular Ponyo's Starlight. If you look carefully through the moonlight, it's like golden sand flowing under the sun. The light is weak, but it's subtle and touching.

Bai Zhi sighed softly: "So beautiful!"

"These stones may contain natural fluorite." Lu Juefeng looked calm, as if he had expected this.

But Xiao Ai couldn't wait to get down to the ground, "I'll walk by myself, the ground is so beautiful."

Lu Juefeng put down Xiao Ai, but never let go of her hand. Bai Zhi held Xiao Ai's other hand beside her and said, "Be careful, the rocks here are very high, so be sure before leaving."

"OK, mommy, don't worry!" Xiao Ai happily agreed, but her steps were not slow.

It's extremely cold at high places. The further you go up the mountain, the lower the temperature becomes, and even the mountain wind becomes biting and biting.

Bai Zhi rubbed her hands as hard as she could, "Xiao Ai, is it cold? Mommy can give you the jacket?"

Xiao Ai shook her head, "No, let's walk faster so it won't feel cold when we move."

The road to the top of the mountain had a maximum gradient of nearly fifty degrees. Although Bai Zhi had put on special sneakers for climbing, she was still a little worried when she saw that she was climbing such a steep mountain road at night, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Xiao Ai's hand. .
