Chapter 44(1/4)
The Taoist temple is located at a small hill on the outskirts of K City. Although it is located remotely, the Taoist temple abbot is famous and the temple is full of incense.
Especially on weekends, along the specially paved stone steps, there were endless pilgrims and believers along the way.
Gu Nian and Jiang Xiaoqing were also walking in it.
"You are very energetic in the past few days after returning from the crew," Jiang Xiaoqing held Gu Nian's arm and tilted her head to look at her, "What's wrong today? Not only did she go back again, but she also looked like she was indulging in love."
“…”
Gu Nianmu raised her head with a face, her black eyes were dull and dull.
It's really a long time to live.
Looking at each other for a few seconds, Gu Nian sighed and turned back: "Um."
Jiang Xiaoqing smiled and saved her: "You have sighed all the way. If you have any unhappy things, I'll help you relieve it."
Gu Nian is skeptical.
Jiang Xiaoqing patted her chest: "Don't look down on me. At the time of my college, I was a psychological committee member in our class, who specialized in helping people with psychological problems."
Gu Nian hesitated: "Really?"
"Really! So just say it!"
“…”
Two minutes later.
“Hahahahahahaha——”
The rampant laughter frightened the birds in the bamboo forest on both sides of the stone path, and flapped their wings, Gu Nian stared at the woman in front of her with a expressionless smile.
Jiang Xiaoqing, who was stared at, was unconscious and her tears were squeezed to the corner of her eyes: "Hahahaha, so you just hugged Luo Xiu in front of her aunt and asked him to call her aunt grandma? Hahahahahaha, I'm so joking. Gu Nian, you are such a talent! Luo Xiu can treat you like nothing happened the next day, he is even more powerful!"
Gu Nian: “…………”
She must have been confused by bird shit just now, so she really believed that Jiang Xiaoqing, an unreliable person, could provide her with psychological counseling.
Gu Nian sighed, turned his head and left without expression.
Jiang Xiaoqing covered her stomach that was so painful that she chased after her: "Hey, wait, wait for me, I won't laugh anymore, hahaha, really..."
After chasing for more than ten meters, Jiang Xiaoqing finally stopped laughing. She pulled Gu Nian's arm and adjusted her breathing while trying to be serious: "So, after getting drunk that night, you, in the video call, regarded Luo Xiu as your mother, completely?"
"Yes." Gu Nianni drooped her eyes and responded listlessly.
"Actually, I don't think the situation is as bad as you think."
"…Um?"
"You think, according to the aunt, Luo Xiu was so 'bully' by you that night. The next day, he was like nothing happened. He was very nice to you, right?"
“…”
Gu Nian recalled it and nodded in emotion.
Jiang Xiaoqing: "So, this means that he either doesn't care that you are his mother's fan, or he just thinks you are drunk - your friendly relationship has not been affected at all."
Gu Nian hesitated: "Will he think I'm crazy?"
Jiang Xiaoqing nodded: "Yes, our college roommates went out to get drunk together, and their father and son often screamed."
Gu Nian's eyes lit up slightly.
Jiang Xiaoqing remembered something and turned around: "And after she came back, didn't you call him last week? What's his attitude?"
Gu Nian cried: "It's very gentle and comforted me."
"Look," Jiang Xiaoqing pinched her fingers, "I just said he didn't take it to heart - don't think so much, just be fine if you didn't remember this."
“…Okay, don’t think about it anymore!”
Jiang Xiaoqing turned around unexpectedly and looked at Gu Min, who became firm and serious in her state, and asked in a daze: "Is my persuasion ability so strong now?"
Gu Nian: "The main thing is to be clear before entering the Taoist temple. I heard that such prayers are more pious."
Jiang Xiaoqing: “…”
Gu Nian is already very familiar with the process of burning incense and praying, but the main hall is full of troubles, and no matter how pious he is, he has to line up. Gu Nian and Jiang Xiaoqing have to stare at the hot summer sun in July and stand on the bluestone slabs without shade.
Jiang Xiaoqing was obviously not very pious and couldn't hold on until she could last for a few minutes.
"No, no, no, no," she waved her hand to Gu Nian, "This is not what I am here to pray for, it is to be punished."
"Shh," Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one paying attention, and turned back with his eyes drooping. "Are you afraid of being sacked when saying such words in the Taoist temple?"
"The Heavenly Lords are so compassionate, and will forgive me." Jiang Xiaoqing said heartlessly, "But I can't stand the sun anymore. If I get sunbathing for a while, I'll have to go to heatstroke."
Gu Nian glanced at the long queue and was indeed still in a hurry: "Then don't you pray?"
"I won't pray anymore. Life and death are fate and wealth are in heaven." Jiang Xiaoqing said that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Gu Nian smiled: "Okay, then you can find a place with shade to wait for me?"
"I'll go back and I heard that there are people asking for a visa there, but not many people - after you have finished your prayers, you went to see me?"
"good."
The two then acted separately.
The long queue here lasted for more than half an hour before it finally ended. She cheered up and walked into the hall very devoutly and earnestly.
The incense feet are in the hand, with the incense head facing down, and three sticks are burned. Pinch the thumb and index finger of the left hand, pinch the thumb and index finger of the right hand, bend down and bow three times, and then burn incense and pray.
The content of the prayer is the same as every month in the past two years: I wish Mr. Luo Xiu peace every year and everything goes well.
I sing incense and prayed for wishes, and thought of leaving the hall.
After stepping out of the hall and going down the steps, she happened to receive Jiang Xiaoqing's message on her mobile phone, took a floor plan, and then drew a crooked route on it.
Finally, there is only one sentence: [I'm standing here waiting for you, come and come quickly.]
Gu Nian returned a smile and stretched under the sun that was so lazy that she was tired. She followed the instructions of the "map" toward Jiang Xiaoqing.
Stepping on the bluestone slab of Taoci Temple and bypassing the old ancient trees, strange figures shuttled in front of and behind. Gu Nianyi's scriptwriter could feel it all the way and walk to the destination marked by the map.
A few meters away, Jiang Xiaoqing stood on two stone steps and jumped to her.
Gu Nian smiled and retreated from the state of wandering souls and walked towards Jiang Xiaoqing.
"Wow, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Your prayer team is too powerful, right?" Jiang Xiaoqing stepped forward and took Gu Nian's arm and dragged the person behind her.
"Fortunately, today is not the longest..." Gu Nian was dragged into confusion, "Where are you going to take me?"
Jiang Xiaoqing turned around excitedly: "Before you came here, I asked all about this area. I heard that the request for a visa by the Taoist Ciguan is particularly effective, and many other provinces and cities have come here to request a visa."
"Please sign?"
"Yeah! Just that, look at it!"
“…”
Jiang Xiaoqing pulled Gu Nian and stopped, and Gu Nian followed her flat-raising fingers and looked diagonally ahead--
Several hall gates in this courtyard are wide open, and more or less crowds appear among the various hall gates.
There are several long tables behind the hall gate. Behind each of them is a Taoist priest who is wearing a moon crown on his head, dressed in a ring of clothes and swearing on his feet.
Jiang Xiaoqing counted for her: "The classifications for the visas here are all complete, including career lines, marriage lines, wealth lines, health lines, and everything."
Gu Nian followed the sight.
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Xiaoqing was puzzled: "Didn't you come here every month before? Don't you know this?"
Gu Nian nodded: "Well, I usually go back in the front hall."
"Wow, that's so wasteful. Let's go and ask for a sign to try!"
Before Gu Nian could refuse, he was already pulled forward by Jiang Xiaoqing. When he reached the stone steps, Jiang Xiaoqing was in trouble: "I heard from my elder sister who just introduced the situation to me that it would be better to only ask for one, otherwise it would easily affect the fortune of the sign. Which kind of sign do you think we are asking for?"
Gu Nian had no choice but to say: "I have no interest in this..."
"I've come here, let's try it."
Gu Nian was not very energetic: "Just try it, I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Xiaoqing pestered her: "Why not try it? I want to find someone to be my companion."
Gu Nian hesitated for a while, looked back and forth at the close-range stranger around her, and then she turned back and said helplessly: "Actually, I don't believe in these."
“…?”
Four eyes are opposite.
Jiang Xiaoqing looked at her in a daze and asked back to her senses: "If you don't believe me, why are you doing this kind of place?"
Gu Nian thought about it, "It is a kind of spiritual sustenance, a good blessing to my baby Goose. At that time, I was so far away from him, so I could only use this method. Later, I took it a lot and developed a habit."
Jiang Xiaoqing held his forehead: "You really love Luo Xiu deeply."
Gu Nian proudly raised his head.
Neither of them noticed that when Jiang Xiaoqing finished saying that, a young Taoist priest passing by suddenly paused at her feet. After walking out for a few steps, the other party stopped and looked back at the two of them.
