Chapter 2076 [ Side Story: tribulation of this life (2) ]
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Ye Wanwan slowly strolled around this serene small Buddhist temple. Although the incense offerings in the temple were sparse, she would occasionally brush past three to five devotees.
The weather in May wasn’t too hot, but the air was slightly irritable. The Bodhisattva tree in the Buddhist temple had large roots and deep green shade. The sandalwood scent from the year-round worship of Buddha lingered in her heart. The sound of the monks chanting Sutras and the wonderful sound of Sanskrit made Ye Wanwan’s heart feel at peace.
Although the Buddhist temple was small, it had all the essentials and many bodhisattvas were enshrined inside. Ye Wanwan didn’t have any other requests, so she wanted to pray to the thousand-hand Guanyin.
She walked slowly along the gray brick path of the temple.
Suddenly, her eyes froze as she stared ahead.
The man was standing under a Bodhi tree not far away. The old tree was twisted and the shade covered him. It was already may, but he was still wearing a thick trench coat that reached his knees. The long trench coat accentuated his figure, making him look tall and slender like a Hill. He had an extremely restrained aura.
She noticed that the man had already taken off his hat and revealed his true appearance.
His brows were long and slender like a knife, his Phoenix eyes were long and narrow, with a threatening cold light, his nose was like a suspended gallbladder, extremely straight, and his cold lips were thin and sharp like a knife.
She had never seen such a magnificent man, nor had she ever seen such a fierce man. She only felt that her heart was gradually losing control, and there was panic, uneasiness, fear, and some other inexplicable complicated emotions.
Si yuanzhen walked in front of her and asked, ” “Miss, may I ask where the shrine of the thousand-hand Guanyin is?”
She did not know why, but she felt that the man in front of her was not a devout Buddhist, nor was he the kind of person who knelt down to worship the gods and Buddhas. This kind of person held a butcher’s knife in his hand and only believed in himself. Therefore, it seemed a little inappropriate for him to take the initiative to ask about the shrine of the thousand-hand Guanyin.
Si yuanzhen’s eyes flickered with a profound light. ” it seems that this lady also wants to go to the thousand-hand Guanyin. Why don’t we go together? ”
His sharp eyes sized her up without a trace.
She was wearing a thin, lotus-green, long spring jacket. The material of the jacket was as soft as water, and the layers of lotus leaves on it made her look fresh, delicate, gentle, and ancient. She was wearing a pair of white slim-legged trousers. Her legs were straight and long, and the lines were beautiful.
This was a woman who was so beautiful that she was clean and transparent.
Especially those watery eyes of his. When he looked at you, his figure would be clearly reflected in his eyes.
Ye Wanwan hesitated for a moment before lightly nodding. ” “Alright!”
Si yuanzhen walked in front while Ye Wanwan followed behind him, maintaining a distance of one meter. The sense of alienation was extremely obvious, so he intentionally slowed down his pace and Ye Wanwan couldn’t walk past him and walk in front of him. The two of them maintained this distance and walked slowly and quietly.
It was clearly less than a minute’s distance, but they walked for five minutes.
It was a short distance, but it was so long that it seemed like they had to walk for a lifetime. It even gave off a desolate feeling, as if they were going to walk until the end of time.
Ye Wanwan had never felt so apprehensive before when she was so close to such a domineering, threatening, and fierce man. She felt like every minute and second was torture.
Just as she was considering whether to leave the man behind and walk to the front, she heard the man’s slightly hoarse voice. ” “We’re here!”
Ye Wanwu raised her head and looked at the thousand-hand Guanyin Buddha statue on the floor. It was solemn, compassionate, and kind.
The two of them walked into the room one after another.
Ye Wanwu secretly glanced at the man beside her. His body was surrounded by a baleful aura as if a layer of blood was floating around him. At this close distance, she could even smell a faintly discernible fishy and sweet smell on his body. It was the smell of blood.
As if he had noticed her gaze, si yuanzhen suddenly tilted his head to look at her.
Her gaze was caught off guard by his sharp gaze and she looked away in shock. She calmed her breathing and suppressed her impetuousness as she slowly knelt down.
After paying her respects, she looked at the man beside her and the thousand-hand Goddess of Mercy. His gaze was cold and his expression was disdainful without any respect. She could not help but ask, ” “Since Mister is heading here, you must have some request in your heart. Aren’t you going to pay your respects?”
Si yuanzhen’s gaze landed on her face. ” “Si yuanzhen!”
Ye Wanwan was startled and didn’t know how to react.
Si yuanzhen, that’s his name?
Si yuanzhen continued. ” chastity starts with vitality. If it goes back, it will return. It means that the cycle of heaven and man goes back and forth, never ending. ”
Only then did Ye Wanwan react. For some reason, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She and this si yuanzhen had only met by chance, so how could he have told her his name?
Si yuanzhen continued. ” I don’t have any requests in my heart. That’s why I’m not bowing. May I know what young lady is requesting? ”
Ye Wanwu looked at his indifferent and Noble expression and knew that it wasn’t that he didn’t want anything but that he didn’t believe in Buddhism. ” “I only seek peace of mind!”
She felt that this man was very strange. He obviously did not believe in Buddha, but he went deep into the Buddhist temple. He clearly held a butcher’s knife, but in front of Bodhisattva, he was more noble than Bodhisattva.
Si yuanzhen laughed. ” I heard that lingji temple has an eminent monk in charge. The clay bodhisattvas in the temple are different from those in other places. The Bodhisattvas each have their own duties. Those who want to be successful in their official career go to Manjushri. If one wanted to be rich, they would go to pay their respects to Bodhisattva qielan. Those who want to be healthy and have all their Karma Go to Ksitigarbha. Those who are greedy and want to ask for everything go to baozhan to pray to Buddha. It’s interesting that miss only wants to be at ease.”
As he said this, his pair of peach blossom eyes glowed with a resplendent light, focused and affectionate.
A man with a pair of peach blossom eyes would always give off a flirtatious, frivolous, and unrestrained feeling. However, si yuanzhen’s peach blossom eyes were full of disdain and contained endless inartiousness. Hidden in the magnificence of his eyes was a bottomless depth, dangerous, and cold.
Si yuanzhen suddenly laughed. ” I don’t think young miss is seeking peace of mind. She’s seeking marriage! ”
Ye zhiwu’s face was slightly red. She was a little annoyed by this person’s frivolous words but didn’t know how to refute him. The thousand-hand Guanyin could also seek marriage fate.
Si yuanzhen suddenly approached her and gently pinched her chin, pressing their lips together. ” “Miss’s request will definitely be fulfilled.” After he finished speaking, he gently removed the Jade Jasmine hairpin from her hair and inserted a slightly rough wooden hairpin into her hair. ” “I’ll accept the token of love. I don’t have anything on me now, so I’ll give you this wooden hairpin.”
This wooden hairpin was made from the branch of the Bodhisattva tree that he had just broken off. It was only sharp and round, without any simple patterns. It couldn’t be more ordinary.
Ye Wanwan was startled by the man’s sudden approach. She’d never had such intimate contact with a man in her entire life, so she was even more flustered by the series of events that followed and didn’t know how to deal with them. When she finally reacted, the man was nowhere to be seen.
