Huguo Temple is the only officially recognized temple in the Great Huan Dynasty, simply because Taizu once received help from the monks in this temple when he was conquering the country.
The predecessor of Huguo Temple was just a very ordinary temple, but the abbot of the temple was a capable man. He believed that Taizu was the emperor who would end this troubled world, so he sent three of his disciples to help Taizu conquered the country.
When Taizu ended the troubled times and ascended the throne as empress, the three disciples of the abbot also returned to the temple. They could be regarded as retiring with success, and there was no attempt to repay the favor. They left very gracefully. .
Taizu was also a person who repaid his kindness. Since the three of them were cultivating the afterlife, as the founding emperor of the Great Huan Dynasty, he directly issued an imperial edict to rebuild the dilapidated temple, and wrote in his own handwriting "Protect "Guo Temple" was sent to the temple, which can be regarded as a disguised promise. As long as the Great Huan Dynasty survives, Huguo Temple will always be prosperous.
The abbot became the abbot, but he became more and more low-key. He would only show up every five years when the royal family prayed for blessings. Soon after Taizu passed the throne to the crown prince, the abbot passed away. Now the guardian The abbot of the national temple is the third-generation disciple of the old abbot, and it is said that he is also an accomplished monk who is proficient in Buddhism.
Since Lianyi came to the foot of the mountain of Huguo Temple, he felt that the spiritual energy was much stronger, and said with emotion that the old abbot would choose a place. Cultivating in such a place would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. It would be difficult if the incense was not flourishing.
After the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they got off the carriage. This was Lianyi's insistence. She said that since she was praying for blessings, she had to be sincere and walked up the mountain by herself.
After listening to Ripple's words, not to mention Grandma Sun, even Hongqi and Lucui's faces were a little dark. Only Yingtao remained silent. She has to behave well now, besides she has been in Zhuangzi for seven years. After eight years, she still has this physical strength.
Lianyi clasped her hands together, bowed pretendingly, and then walked up to the Huguo Temple on the top of the mountain, followed by Grandma Sun and the maids.
Because Huguo Temple is full of incense, there are many people who come to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. Some people choose to walk up the mountain like Liripi, so their group does not look out of place.
It's just that her identity is different now. She is a young lady from the Hou Mansion. Naturally, there are guards from the Hou Mansion to separate Lianyi and his party from the ordinary people next to them.
Lipple's face was covered with gauze, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes. The face under the gauze was looming, which gave people a hazy beauty. People peeked at Ripple from time to time along the way.
Lianyi's physical strength is very good, especially in a place with abundant spiritual energy. He runs his exercises while walking, and he broke through the first level of Qi refining before he reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Lianyi stopped when he broke through, closed his eyes tightly, clasped his hands together and murmured:
"Believing girl Lianyi, please bless the Buddha that my sister can escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and that she can be healthy in the next life. If you are in good health and are born into a wealthy family, you will be wealthy throughout your life."
There was no need to pay for the nice words, but Grandma Sun felt a little uncomfortable. Wasn't this a curse to the young lady to die early and be born early?
But she couldn't say anything. After all, it was because the young lady was dying that the eldest lady married into the Lin family in her place.
After Lianyi finished chanting, he felt that his cultivation level at Qi Refining Level had been stabilized, so he continued walking up.
Except for the guards, the maids and servants following Lianyi all took this opportunity to take a breath. They were really exhausted. They hoped that the young lady could stay a little longer, but Lianyi came here just to torment them. How could you possibly care about their thoughts?
So after her cultivation at the first level of Qi Refining was stable, she continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, and the servants behind her continued to follow with painful expressions on their faces.
Lianyi did not speed up, but deliberately slowed down her speed, just to maintain her character. After all, she was a boudoir girl, and her physical strength would arouse suspicion.
Even though the speed was getting slower and slower, she did not stop, and the people following her could only climb up. After a full two hours, Ripple and the others reached the top of the mountain, and Ripple also successfully broke through. The second level of Qi refining.
Master Huiyuan, the current host of Huguo Temple, noticed something was wrong when he felt the aura around Huguo Temple was turbulent. He counted with his fingers for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything. When the aura was turbulent for the second time, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he took the young novice and waited at the door of Huguo Temple. He wanted to see who could trigger the aura of Huguo Temple.
The appearance of the host attracted more people's attention. People who went up the mountain to pray for blessings and worshipers saluted Huiyuan one after another. For a while, he was surrounded by water, but no ripples were found. exception.
Before Lianyi stepped into the temple, she noticed the chaos at the entrance of the temple. She did not get involved directly because she was the abbot. After all, she was also the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Even if she wanted to see the abbot, it was not under such circumstances, so the guards escorted Lianyi. First we went to the place where the female relatives were entertained in Huguo Temple.
Lianyi entered an ordinary wing and was helped by Cherry to sit down. He took out the handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and then said:
"Mother Sun Mom, you have worked hard to accompany me all the way up the mountain. First arrange for someone to make some tea, and then go to the main hall to offer incense and pay homage after I bathe and change clothes.”
“Yes, Miss”
After all, Grandma Sun was getting older, so she was finally out of breath. She didn't bother to wipe the sweat from her head, so she turned around and went out to make arrangements.
"Tao Qing, please go and look around first to see what beautiful scenery there is in Huguo Temple. We can relax for two days after praying for blessings."
Lianyi lowered his voice and ordered Tao Tao.
"Yes, miss."
Cherry was very happy and immediately asked Hongqi to go out together.
Lvcui is something that Ripple needs to use outside to prepare for bathing and changing clothes.
This time when the lady went out, three carriages came out, one carrying people, one carrying clothes, jewelry, makeup powder and other things, and the last one carrying snacks and commonly used cups, plates, tea cups, these are the most basic.
Lianyi took a comfortable bath, changed into a more elegant dress, and only wore a few simple white jade accessories. Then she went to the main hall to listen to evening classes accompanied by Grandma Sun.
At this time, the main hall was already full of people worshiping Buddha. Men and women occupied each side. In the middle were monks who were banging wooden fish and chanting sutras.
Lianyi sat cross-legged on the futon in the main hall, then closed her eyes and began to listen to the monk chanting sutras. In fact, the exercises were running inside, absorbing the spiritual energy without any delay. It is not easy to come to Huguo Temple. Gather your spiritual energy quickly, don't regret it after you leave here.
As a result, after finishing the evening class, Lianyi advanced to another level, successfully raising his cultivation level to the third level of Qi Refining.
Mainly because in the past three months, Lianyi had been running her skills every night without relaxing at all, so from a place with a lack of spiritual energy to a place with abundant spiritual energy, her breakthrough was extremely smooth.
Of course, the abundance of spiritual energy here is compared to the Hou Mansion, and it is still far from the true abundance of spiritual energy.
After finishing the evening class, Lianyi took off a gold bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Grandma Sun, saying:
“Grandma, this is a little bit of my heart, donated to the temple. Afterwards, offer an ever-burning lamp.”
