Twenty minutes later, everyone finished walking up the steps and officially entered Puning Temple.
There are already monks waiting at the door.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu!"
At the same time, he saluted Gu Chengyan and the others behind him, and then said,
"Everyone, please come inside, Master is already waiting in the Buddhist hall!"
Because Gu Zongde and the others came here every year, they were familiar with each other. Without saying any more words, they turned around and led the way.
Except for Li Muhan, who is here for the first time, the others, including Lin Huainan, have been here many times.
Even though he spends most of his time abroad studying.
Li Muhan walked beside Mrs. Gu and supported her.
The look on her face at this moment can be described as sad, full of sadness.
Li Muhan didn't know what to say, so he had to look at Gu Chengyan who was standing aside, and held his hand to indicate what he should do.
Gu Chengyan followed Li Muhan's gesture and looked at his mother. In fact, he was already very familiar with his mother's reaction, but he still felt distressed.
He walked to the other side of his mother and said in a voice that only they could hear,
"Mom, don't be too sad. Dad will be worried when he sees it!"
Only from this perspective can it be effective.
Sure enough, Mrs. Gu's expression changed immediately after she thought that her husband would be worried.
Mouthing in his mouth,
"You're right, you can't make your father worry, he should be happy!"
But neither Gu Chengyan nor Li Muhan felt very happy about her reaction.
This level of care really cannot be relieved by just one or two sentences, and what is shown is really just what I want to show.
But this is enough.
————
Soon, a group of people followed the monk to the front of the Buddhist temple. The monk invited everyone to come in.
"Everyone, please come inside!"
Li Muhan followed him in and saw an old man sitting on a futon in front of the Buddha statue, chanting sutras.
But he stopped when he heard the sound.
The monk walked over and helped the old man up. When he turned around, Gu Zongde and Mrs. Gu saluted the old man together.
"Master Huiyan!"
It turned out that this was Master Huiyan. Li Muhan followed the others and greeted Master Huiyan, and after Master Huiyan returned the gift, he quietly took a look.
Judging from his face, he looks like a very kind old man, but when he looks over, it feels like he can see through people with just one glance.
Li Muhan suddenly felt admiration in his heart.
After simple greetings to each other, they prayed and chanted sutras under the auspices of Master Huiyan.
Li Muhan was not familiar with it at first, but under Gu Chengyan's leadership and the influence of the atmosphere around him, he quickly got into the zone.
Of course, this also includes Li Yaoting, who is participating for the first time.
But he entered the state much faster than Li Muhan. After all, Li Muhan had much more experience and had experienced such things before.
An hour later, the prayers and chanting were over. At this time, the monk who had directed them here brought a basin of pure water.
"Please wash your hands and burn incense!"
Master Huiyan cleaned his hands first, followed by the elders, and then the juniors. Then they took incense from Master Huiyan’s hands and offered incense again!
Li Muhan saw from the back that the eyes of several elders were moist after they finished offering incense. When he came to Mrs. Gu, he burst into tears and his body bent down.
Although the voice was not loud, Li Muhan heard her clearly. She kept calling,
"A Yuan, A Yuan~"
Gu Xinrong immediately supported her and said to Mrs. Gu with tears in her eyes,
"Sister-in-law, don't cry!"
Li Muhan looked away because Gu Chengyan pulled her to burn incense together.
She bowed three times with Gu Chengyan very respectfully, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
But Gu Chengyan did not leave immediately after finishing the incense. Instead, he held Li Muhan's hand tightly and introduced in an extremely natural manner,
"Dad, I'm married. This is my wife, Mumu. I'm bringing her to see you today!"
After saying this, Gu Chengyan paused, and Li Muhan felt that his voice was choked.
But he continued talking the next moment,
"She is the best girl I have ever met. I am very happy now. You will be happy for me!"
He held Li Muhan's hand tighter.
Li Muhan felt his emotions, so he followed Gu Chengyan's words and continued,
"Hello, Dad, I am Mu Han!"
When Gu Chengyan heard the sound, he immediately looked over, including several elders beside him, with the same surprise in their eyes as Gu Chengyan.
Only Li Yaoting looked at Li Muhan with extremely pleased eyes and sighed in his heart, what a great granddaughter.
Li Muhan didn't know what other people were looking at, but continued talking,
"Dad, please don't worry, I will definitely live up to Chengyan's sincerity!"
She felt that only by living up to Chengyan's sincerity could she be worthy of his deep love for her!
She always felt that in this relationship, Chengyan gave much more than she did, and she received more care and love.
So she always wanted to be nicer to Chengyan.
But she didn't know that in Gu Chengyan's heart, he felt that for such a good Li Muhan, he should be nicer to her.
Generally speaking, they care about each other more, but because of this, this relationship becomes more sweet and sincere.
After Li Muhan finished speaking, he turned back and looked at Gu Chengyan, with deep love in his eyes and sincerity in saying these words.
Gu Chengyan couldn't be more moved.
The elders behind him were also moved by Li Muhan's actions. Mrs. Gu stepped forward and praised,
"Good boy!"
Master Huiyan said from the side at this time,
"They are truly a perfect couple, Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, this is a good marriage!"
Master Huiyan's affirmative words made everyone look at him.
Especially Gu Zongde and Mrs. Gu, when they heard this, they felt happy and at the same time, they also remembered another thing about coming here.
"It is a blessing for the two children to have such a saying from the master. And we have come here to ask for another thing today, that is, we want the master to help us figure out when is the most suitable wedding date for these two children! "
These words were said by Mrs. Gu. Her expression, which was still a little sad just now, softened a lot, and there was also a hint of expectation.
Master Huiyan looked at Gu Chengyan and Li Muhan again, and then said,
"Give me their birthdays and horoscopes, and I will go back and calculate them!"
Gu Zongde was the first to say what Gu Chengyan said, and then looked at his old friend. Li Yaoting also said what Li Muhan said without hesitation.
After Master Huiyan wrote it down,
"It's noon, it's time for everyone to take a rest, Kong Yi!"
This empty call was to the monk on the side.
"Take Mr. Gu and his family to have a fast meal and take a rest!"
"Yes, Master!"
Sora responded, then turned around,
"Everyone, come with me!"
Mrs. Gu and others knew that Master Huiyan still needed some calculations to give a specific date, and it was indeed time to have lunch and rest, so after bidding farewell to Master Huiyan, they went to the Zhaitang with Master Kong. !
————
However, even if you go to the dining hall, you will not eat with the monks in the temple, but in a place specifically for pilgrims and visitors.
In fact, the Gu family are very familiar with everything here, so after Kong Yi brought them here, they said that they could do it themselves and let Master Kong go to rest.
After Kong Yi left a message that the guest rooms were still the same, he stopped disturbing their family, and went back to serve his master, Master Hui Yan!
The vegetarian dishes have been served. Anyway, it took a whole morning of work. Everyone was already hungry, so they started eating without saying anything.
Although the marriage between Gu Chengyan and Li Muhan was mentioned in the middle, the overall atmosphere was still a bit gloomy. In addition, several elders were older and went directly to the guest room to rest after dinner.
But Li Muhan couldn't sleep because she still had one thing on her mind.
In the guest room, Gu Chengyan saw that Li Muhan was worried, so he asked,
"Mumu, what are you thinking about?"
Li Muhan looked at Gu Chengyan, but didn't say anything immediately.
"What, is there anything else you can't say to me?"
Li Muhan pondered for a moment,
"I want to do something for the child I lost, but I don't know if I can set up a memorial tablet for him!"
This was also an idea that came to her mind after entering the temple, but she didn't know much about it. But she wanted the child to live a better life in the next life and be safe and happy throughout his life.
"Then we can ask Master Huiyan in the afternoon. Anyway, we have to stay here for one night and won't go back until tomorrow!"
This has been their usual practice.
With Gu Chengyan's answer, Li Muhan felt much more at ease.
"Okay, let's find a time in the afternoon to chat with Master Huiyan alone and ask about it!"
This matter can only be discussed alone and cannot be known to the other elders.
After thinking about this matter, Li Muhan also lost sleep, so he suggested,
"Let's go for a walk. We can't sleep anyway. Let's take a look at the scenery in the temple!"
"good!"
Gu Chengyan naturally followed Li Muhan's wishes!
————
Puning Temple is an ancient temple with a history of hundreds of years and rich historical heritage. The buildings in the temple are full of ancient charm, which makes people feel calm physically and mentally.
The building is closely integrated with the mountain, built according to the situation, integrated with the surrounding environment, and closer to nature.
Not to mention the environment, the air is naturally fresh and pleasant. Even in the middle of summer, walking in the temple does not feel stuffy. Instead, there is a natural breeze blowing from time to time, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"This kind of environment can really cultivate your mood!"
Li Muhan expressed his inner thoughts very naturally.
"Yes, the environment here is quiet and the atmosphere is rich. It is a rare and quiet place."
Gu Chengyan also told Li Muhan about the greatness of Master Huiyan.
"He is truly a rare and enlightened monk. Many people come from thousands of miles away just to see Master Huiyan!"
That’s a lot to ask for, and of course there’s even more guidance to give.
Li Muhan recalled the look she saw when she first arrived, that look that seemed to see through everything. Even without saying this, she could still feel how powerful this Master Hui Yan was!
And they were about to witness the power of Master Huiyan with their own eyes. As for what they said in the guest room at that time that they wanted to find an opportunity to meet alone, they took the initiative to send him to the door.
Just after the two of them walked for more than half an hour, they bumped into Master Kong. Kong immediately said,
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, I finally found you. Master has invited me!"
Kong Yi's expression was slightly more serious than before. The two looked at each other, and Gu Chengyan was the first to ask,
"Master Huiyan means to see only the two of us?"
If he said that he would see everyone, he would probably say that since all your family members are here, I will send you, or something like that.
Sora nodded, indicating that he was right.
Now Gu Chengyan and Li Muhan became more and more confused, but they still responded,
"Then Master Laokong will lead the way!"
Gu Chengyan said respectfully.
"Mr. Gu, you're welcome, please come with me!"
In this way, the two of them followed Kong Yi towards Master Huiyan's meditation room. Little did they know that something unexpected would happen next for them!
