The brief interlude did not interrupt the three people's trip to the amusement park.
With a balloon in one hand and a bag in the other, Chen Yi led Lu Chen and the photographer deeper into the amusement park.
As several people advanced.
Pedestrians gradually became fewer and fewer, and the surrounding trees became lush and green. It was a completely different scene from before, as if this place had not yet been developed.
While Lu Chen looked at the surrounding scene, he curiously asked Chen Yi, the leader:
"Where is this? We seem to be no longer in the amusement park, right?"
Chen Yi glanced at Lu Chen and said angrily:
"Where else could this be? A temple!"
"If you hadn't killed the fish, I wouldn't have been beaten up by my mother, and I would have come to this temple to burn incense in the end!"
This is her main purpose today.
Because I accidentally dropped the fish to death, my mother was furious when she found out about it. She not only beat herself up, but also made her run to the temple to offer incense and repent.
At the same time, he almost forced himself to make an appointment with Lu Chen, the culprit, and the two of them burned incense and worshiped the Buddha together, praying for the Buddha's forgiveness.
Chen Yi felt a burning pain in his butt when he thought of this.
I couldn't help but complain: "You don't know how cruel my mother was, and now I...I'm still in pain!"
"Really? I'll rub it for you!"
Lu Chen moved closer to Chen Yi and quietly touched it with one hand.
Before his hand even touched Chen Yi, he was grabbed by Chen Yi.
"If your hand is restless! Believe it or not, I will chop it into pieces!"
Chen Yi glared at Lu Chen fiercely, and then made a scissor gesture with his right hand.
Lu Chen's body suddenly trembled, and he immediately withdrew his hand and calmed down.
Following Chen Yi up a few flights of stairs, a quaint temple appeared in front of them.
The light red mahogany door opened, and several young monks walked out of the door carrying alms bowls.
Chen Yi seemed to be here for the first time, and nodded to the novice monks very familiarly.
Then he opened his wallet and took out some change and put it into the alms bowl in their hands.
The novice monks nodded their thanks and walked up to Lu Chen with their alms bowls in hand.
Several people said nothing, with one palm raised in front of their chests to perform Buddhist salutes, and the other hand holding the alms bowl.
Lu Chen looked at the young novice monks in front of him in confusion. At this time, Chen Yi explained:
"It is the tradition of the temple that if you have money, donate some, and they will use the money to help poor people, and the rest is the temple's sesame oil money."
"But it's not mandatory. You can donate if you don't want to."
Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
"I didn't expect there to be such good people in this world?"
He looked at the alms bowl in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and confirmed again towards the little novice:
"Is it really possible?"
The little novice monk seemed unable to speak, so he could only nod his head silently and make a sound: "Hmm!"
Afterwards, Lu Chen grabbed the change in the alms bowl, clasped his hands and thanked the young novice in front of him.
"Amitabha, then I would like to thank you for your blessing!"
Little novice monk: "???"
"Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
When the little novice monk saw Lu Chen taking the money from his alms bowl, he hesitated anxiously.
If he could speak, he would probably have given Lu Chen a very affectionate greeting by now.
When Chen Yi saw Lu Chen's actions, he was surprised and speechless for the first time.
After hearing the anxious whining of the young novice, he realized what he was doing and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lu Chen.
"What are you doing! This is the first time I've seen someone snatch money from the monk's bowl!"
As he spoke, Chen Yi opened Lu Chen's hand and took the change back to the bowl.
Lu Chen looked at Chen Yi and said disapprovingly:
"Didn't you say they would use money to help poor people?"
"I only have more than a thousand dollars with me now. Am I not poor?"
As soon as Lu Chen said this, the audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.
[(Laughing and crying) I thought Brother Lu wanted to donate money when he asked if it was okay, but I didn’t expect that he wanted to take money from someone else’s basin! 】
[(covering face and laughing) Hahaha! This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone praying to a monk for alms. Brother Lu is really a talent! 】
[Little Monk: You just bullied me because I can’t speak, right? 】
[As expected of Brother Lu, the young monk probably never dreamed that someone would take money from his basin. 】

The photographer also felt the shocked gazes of the young novice monks, and quickly pulled down Lu Chen's sleeves and whispered:
"Brother, the really poor people don't know how to drive sports cars or come to amusement parks."
"Really? But I really think I need this money."
Lu Chen stared intently at the alms bowl filled with change in the little novice's hand, his eyes shining.
It's like a lion on the African savannah that hasn't eaten for a long time and sees its prey.
The photographer and Chen Yi hurriedly pulled Lu Chen into the temple, fearing that Lu Chen would embark on a criminal path if it was too late.
This move also frightened the young novice monks.
He hurriedly poured the change in the alms bowl into his breast pocket, hid the money, and then dared to go out to ask for alms.
Chen Yi and the photographer pulled Lu Chen through the courtyard of the temple and walked straight into the temple lobby.
Inside the temple lobby.
Clay sculptures of Bodhisattvas from all directions are located on the left and right sides, with a huge Buddha sculpture in the middle.
The statue of Buddha is about four or five meters high, with eyes that seem to be closed and not closed, looking down.
Except that the sculptures are more vivid and majestic, they seem to be no different from ordinary temples.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Lu Chen saw clay statues of Bodhisattvas holding various weapons and looking like a vajra with angry eyes.
As if feeling the majesty of the Bodhisattva, his whole body froze, and his legs stopped in place, motionless.
He looked deeply at the clay sculpture of Buddha in the middle, and said seriously to the two people beside him:
"I seem to feel the protection of Buddha!"
The photographer looked at the lifelike clay sculptures around him and couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Lu Chen's words.
"Brother, I seem to feel it too. The Bodhisattva statue in this temple is also very well done."
“Now I feel like my whole being has been baptized by Buddhism!”
Hearing the compliments from the two people, Chen Yi couldn't help but nodded.
"It's really spectacular. No wonder my mother said this temple is miraculous and asked me to come here to pay my respects no matter what."
At this moment, the three of them felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was also shocked by this lifelike Bodhisattva statue.
[Let me go, what kind of temple is this? It is so realistic. I will definitely go and pay my respects one day! 】
[Even if I put the screen down, I feel the baptism of Buddhism, and all the worries in my heart are swept away. 】
[Originally I was not a Buddhist, but seeing Brother Lu and others like this, I really believed it. 】
【……】
Even the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but worship in their hearts when they saw these Buddha statues.
At this time, Lu Chen was stunned and moved. He slowly bent down, moved his feet, and looked at the red hundred-dollar bills on the ground.
I couldn't help but said happily: "Haha! Let me just say, Buddha blessed me, I can actually pick up money here!"
Lu Chen bent down, picked up the banknotes, and waved them in his hand.
Then he looked at the photographer and Chen Yi who were praying to the Buddha beside him, and said with doubts on his face:
"Did you find the money too?"
