Qinglong Temple is located on a mountain peak on the west side of Jusan City.
Pedestrians walked out of the gate of Jusan City and followed a branch road directly to the foot of the mountain peak.
There is another trail winding up at the foot of the mountain, like a horned dragon coiling around the mountain.
It was already night, the moon in the sky was blocked by clouds, and the world was plunged into darkness. Even so, this trail was still trampled by bustling crowds.
These are tourists who choose to go to Qinglong Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings at night. They carry lanterns to illuminate the way forward and keep moving forward.
Looking at this trail from a distance, it seems like little stars are flickering and moving.
Jiang Ye and Liu Zhi are also among the stars.
They followed the light of the person in front and kept moving towards the top of the mountain.
Jiang Ye wanted to fly up directly, but was stopped by Liu Zhi.
She said that when going to a temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, it is better to walk up step by step.
Some people even kowtow step by step just to let the gods and Buddhas enshrined in Qinglong Temple witness their piety.
When Jiang Ye and Liu Zhi reached the top of the mountain, what they saw was the brightly lit temple and the bustling crowds.
"There are surprisingly many people here..."
Jiang Ye was a little surprised.
I originally thought that there wouldn't be many people here, but I didn't realize that I was being narrow-minded.
"The fireworks display in Jusan City is an event organized by the government. The mountain climbing and burning incense and red ribbon prayer activities at Qinglong Temple are our own participation. The sense of participation in the festival is even greater, so it is normal for there to be a large number of people."
"Many people choose to burn incense and pray here, and then choose to find a place with a wide view on the top of the mountain to watch the fireworks in the city..."
Liu Zhi explained these things.
The two of them walked towards the temple while talking, bought some incense at the entrance of the temple and entered the temple.
The temple was filled with smoke, and Jiang Ye was a little uncomfortable with the strong smell of incense.
He always felt that the smell was a bit too choking.
There is a huge bronze tripod in the temple courtyard. The bronze tripod is filled with densely packed incense sticks. The smell and green smoke envelope the entire temple.
After offering incense, Jiang Ye and Liu Zhi went to a stall selling red ribbons and bought two red ribbons for blessing.
"Don't peek at me!"
Liu Zhi looked at Jiang Ye warily with a pen and a red ribbon. She was still a little worried when she said something. She trotted to the side and made sure there was no one around before she started writing down her wishes with a silly smile.
Jiang Ye was a little hesitant, not knowing what to write.
After thinking twice, he picked up a pen and began to write down his wishes.
After both of them finished writing, they walked out of the temple with red ribbons and came to the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree not far from the temple gate.
This Bodhi tree has lived for thousands of years, with lush leaves and thick trunks.
Its body and branches are covered with dense red ribbons.
When the wind blows, a sea of red ribbons appears before everyone's eyes.
After tying it on, Liu Zhi took a few steps back, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes with a pious expression.
Although he didn't know what the use of doing this was, Jiang Ye still followed Liu Zhi's actions and closed his eyes.
"May my parents rest in peace, may my master be able to successfully get rid of the demons in his heart, and may my senior sister be able to..."
Jiang Ye knew that this was just a kind of comfort, but it did not prevent him from praying for the person he liked.
He didn't like many people, but everyone was nice.
The master is usually a little out of tune, spending almost every day in bed, too lazy to act like a pig, but Jiang Ye knows that Chi Qing has been restraining himself from losing control and hurting him.
When he found out that she had accepted him as her apprentice just to use him, Jiang Zhi felt very sad. He also doubted whether Chi Qing's feelings for him were fake and whether she wanted to use these feelings to restrain him and make him willing to be deceived.
But later this idea was rejected by himself.
Compared to his own imagination, Jiang Ye believed what he had seen and heard over the years.
As for the senior sister, let alone that. If she hadn't saved him, he wouldn't be alive now.
Moreover, during the years when she was missing, she had tried her best to find traces of herself, even forcing herself to break through regardless of her own situation, which almost caused problems with her foundation.
Why don't you like such a person?
In Jiang Yimei, Lin Wanwan, like Chi Qing, is his closest person.
"What wish did you make?"
Liu Zhi's voice rang in his ears.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Zhi's round eyes like a deer, full of spirituality.
"If I don't tell you, didn't you say that your wish won't work if you say it?"
"Tsk, I wouldn't have told you if I had known earlier!"
"Don't be poor. Let's go down the mountain and go back to Jusan City. The fireworks display is about to begin."
"Okay~"
After both of them left, a figure appeared under the bodhi tree.
In this sea of red, Chi Qing moved his hand, and the ribbon tied by Jiang Ye was untied automatically and fell into her hand flutteringly.
After Chi Qing glanced at the words written above, his brows gradually relaxed and his expression became extremely gentle.
[I hope that the people who love me and the people I love are all well]
"I knew he didn't hate me..."
Chi Qing knew that Jiang Ye wouldn't hate her, but she couldn't get over it in her own heart.
Now it seems that she worries too much.
It's time to take action.
After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked into the temple. After a while, she took another red ribbon and returned to the bodhi tree.
When she left, Jiang Ye's ribbon was back in place, with another red ribbon tied to the end.
When the evening breeze blew by, you could vaguely see a few large Chinese characters written on the ribbon.
[My apprentice, mine! 】
