Chapter 608 You are leaving us again
Global Center.
Lu Zhiyuan arranged a candlelight dinner very romantically. Gu Ziyu looked at the white tablecloth, roses, and beautifully arranged dishes, and asked Lu Zhiyuan expressionlessly, "Am I going to disappear on my own?"
"If you don't want to eat with us, I don't mind." Lu Zhiyuan pretended to smile, "You can sit at the same table with Li Jiang."
"I don't want to!" Gu Ziyu pulled out his chair and sat down openly. Light bulbs also have dignity. Are light bulbs not qualified to have a candlelight dinner?
The three of them are accustomed to having romantic dinners together as a family.
Gu Ci said, "I went to Bodhi Mountain with Ziyu today for an autumn outing, and saw your name on the plaque at Sansheng Temple. The monk said it was the merit of your pledge. When did you pledge it?"
“I pledged my donation very early,” Lu Zhiyuan said.
“I’ve been there several times, but I didn’t find your name on the plaque. It shows that you lack observation skills. Why do you like Sansheng Temple? You didn’t pledge donations to many nearby temples, but you chose Mount Bodhi.”
"The scenery is great. When I was young, Lu Ze often took me on outings and outings in autumn. I also liked the Bodhi tree in front of the temple. At that time, the abbots in the temple were very poor and there were few monks. Sansheng Temple was not famous either. I raced a car. The risk was high, so I worshiped the Buddha for blessing."
Hearing this, Gu Ziyu couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad, when you race, you either want to win the championship and have smooth sailing, or you want peace. Why did you go to Sansheng Temple to ask for it? Others ask for marriage."
"Can't you pray for peace when you seek marriage? What Sansheng Temple worships is Amitabha, not Marriage Buddha. Worshiping Amitabha means worshiping Buddhas in the ten directions. You can ask for anything, not just marriage. Sansheng Temple is famous for its bodhi tree and Sansheng Because of this name, everyone thinks it’s for marriage, but that’s not necessarily the case. The wooden sign hanging on the bodhi tree at the door prays for health and longevity, a happy family, promotion to a noble position, and so on.”
Gu Ziyu was introduced to science, which was quite fresh, and he got a new knowledge point, "You don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but you still worship gods and Buddhas. It's really contradictory."
“So I got into a car accident and can’t race anymore. This is the Buddha’s punishment for my insincerity.”
Gu Ziyu, “…”
He glanced at Gu Ci and glared at Lu Zhiyuan, "Your West Lake Longjing is too green. You even talked about tea in front of your mother, which made you slowly soften your heart."
Gu Ci chuckled and said, "I originally wanted to ask the abbot to interpret the fortune-telling, but who knew he was not in the temple. The monk said that he had wandered around. I heard that the abbot of Sansheng Temple was very good at interpreting fortune-telling."
"It's just a lie. I can do whatever you want to decipher for me." Lu Zhiyuan carefully picked out the crab meat, separated the crab roe and crab meat carefully, put it on a small plate and handed it to Gu Ci, and began to give it to Gu Ci again. She peels shrimp.
Autumn is the season for eating crabs. She eats them every now and then. Gu Ci is in good health and is not afraid of the cold. She likes to eat them with rice wine.
“Can you also interpret signatures?”
"I listened to the wishes of sentient beings in the temple, and I naturally understood the lot." Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were gentle and long. When Xiao Ci asked for marriage, he interpreted the lot for Xiao Ci. It was a lot with one sign, and Xiao Ci's life was Bo Shang was neither married nor had any children, so he was destined to die young. He performs duties on behalf of the priests. Although he does not have a priesthood, he has a godhead. Whenever he interprets lots, he never makes mistakes, so he rarely interprets lots for others.
Under the moonlight that year, Xiaoci saw his gloomy expression, and the expectations in his eyes were like fireworks. She knew it was a lottery, but he lied to Xiaoci. He lied to Xiaoci and said that she would marry the right man. , gave birth to children, and had children and grandchildren around her for a hundred years. She passed away on a warm bed without any illness or disaster. Her life was perfect, which was a rare good life.
Xiao Ci believed it and was very happy every day. The temple is the most sacred existence in everyone's mind. He performs duties and cannot lie. Once he lies, he will suffer heartache every night. Everyone thinks that he will not lie. Xiao Ci Too. She was happily looking forward to staying with her right man for the rest of her life, but in the end, her fate was as the lot said, she was destined to be with the one she loved, and she died on her wedding night without any help from a matchmaker. There was no marriage certificate, the wedding was interrupted, and the beautiful woman died. Xiaoci was twenty-five years old that year.
“What kind of lot are you asking for?” Lu Zhiyuan asked gently.
Gu Ci chuckled, "It's a pity that I didn't bring it back, otherwise I would have asked you to explain it."
Gu Ziyu was confused. His mother didn't ask for a fortune at all. Anyone who went to Sansheng Temple to worship the Buddha would ask for a fortune. Gu Ziyu even asked for one. The monk interpreted the fortune and said that it was the top signature, and his work went smoothly and he was promoted step by step. He asked for it. It's a career, Gu Ziyu thinks it's accurate, even if the monks say good things about it, he still thinks it's accurate.
Gu Ci did not ask for a fortune. Gu Ziyu clearly saw the resistance and rejection in Gu Ci's eyes. She didn't like asking for a fortune.
He was very discerning, or maybe mother and son were connected and did not expose Gu Ci.
“I’ll take you to ask for help next time.”
"Okay!" Gu Ci chuckled and ate all the crab meat on the small plate. After the meal, Lu Zhiyuan drank Pu'er. Gu Ziyu drank two cups and then went to the study. Gu Ci accompanied Lu Zhiyuan on the balcony. Drinking tea in the tea room.
“Is it really because you are meeting the abbot today to get your signature signed?” Lu Zhiyuan poured tea for her and looked at her intently. Those were eyes that could see through her. Gu Ci couldn’t help but look at Lu Zhiyuan.
Time has not left a trace on his face, and he still has the spirit of youth in his flying brows, but his temperament has settled down, like a sharp sword hidden in the scabbard, with its sharpness reduced like the spring breeze blowing on his face.
Gu Ci said frankly, "I don't like asking for fortune. I even hate it. I haven't liked it since I was a child. Jinjin likes to ask gods and worship Buddha. I have accompanied her to several temples and waited for her at the door every time. After her wish came true, she continued After three years of repaying her vows, I also accompanied her, but I didn’t pray to her, let alone ask for her. The reason I went to Sansheng Temple today was because... you went to Sansheng Temple and met the abbot. Ziyu and I happened to go to the autumn festival. People say that the abbot has wandered away, and I am confused. Are you...are you an old acquaintance with the abbot of the temple? "
"It's an old acquaintance. I always look for him when I'm confused." Lu Zhiyuan drank tea and said warmly, "He is indeed elusive. He has been wandering around since we met that day. It's normal that you can't see him. He was wandering around outside. I If you have to drag someone back, he usually won’t stay in the temple for a long time except at the end of the year.”
“I see, what are you confused about?” Gu Ci asked.
“I’ve been dreaming a lot lately, and I’m a little uneasy.” Lu Zhiyuan picked out some of them and said.
Gu Ci didn't believe it, "Lu Zhiyuan, maybe you think white lies are best for me, but I don't like them at all. No matter how beautiful or gentle a lie is, it is still a lie and cannot become the truth. I would rather accept the cruel truth than Don’t accept beautiful lies.”
“Xiao porcelain…”
“You’re leaving us again, aren’t you?”
