"Which one shall we worship?" Xiao Jingyu really asked a question that most pilgrims would ask. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The old woman said turn left, of course it's Guanyin Niangniang" Fang Cheng pointed to the painted pottery Guanyin.

"Isn't Guanyin begging for a son?" Xiao Jingyu asked with some embarrassment.

"Save all the people from fire and water, and cross the sea of suffering, Niang Niang is not just a child," Fang Cheng explained the scope of his priesthood.

"I thought she was treating us as husband and wife......"

Then, Xiao Jingyu noticed that Fang Cheng made a strange move.

He picked up a handful of incense candles and lit them all, paying tribute without bowing, just quietly watching the candles burn gradually.

"Don't you make a wish?" Xiao Jingyu looked at him in surprise.

"He can't fulfill my wish, so there's no need to make a wish," Fang Cheng responded as a matter of course.

Most of these imaginary gods on the earth are limited by the imagination of the people and the limitations of the times, and most of them are utilitarian in nature, because there are corresponding needs, so corresponding gods are born, and each god directly reflects the beliefs and expectations of mortals.

Xiao Jingyu was quite speechless, she probably couldn't understand Fang Cheng's mood.

Taking a bunch of incense from him, Xiao Jingyu bowed three times before inserting the incense burner in front of the sculpture.

At this moment, she reverently made a wish, not seeking results, but only to follow herself and reflect her heart.

After the incense, the two walked out of the temple, only to find that the old woman was gone.

"Hey, I was here just now."

"She has already gone down the mountain to fetch water" Fang Cheng saw the old lady on the path on the mountainside, she was carrying a wooden barrel, walking slowly towards the place where the waterhole was, like a leisurely mountain god.

"Then let's go help?" Xiao Jingyu was always so warm-hearted.

"That's her cultivation," Fang Cheng shook his head, "This old woman seems to have lived in the temple for many years, how many times can you help her?"

"The old man is pitiful, let's keep more money later"

"Well, generally people who have no children and no daughters to serve around will choose to guard this temple hard, isolated from the world and comfortable. Nowadays, people believe in the gods less and less, and the incense in the temple will be cut off sooner or later. Fang Cheng had already seen through everything.

Although there is no restriction on faith in China, with the development of science and technology and the popularization of education standards, backward beliefs will sooner or later be banned by science and technology.

I just don't know what the point of this old woman guarding such a decaying temple for the rest of her life.

Maybe one day, she can no longer wait for pilgrims, and sooner or later the everlasting lamp in the temple will be extinguished, and the cultural inheritance of this god will disappear into history, gradually fading into a dispensable cultural imprint.

The immortal Dao system in the world is probably like this, gradually eroded by the years, and finally annihilated by the long river of time.

Let you be peerless, free in the world, in the end only a slope of loess, only the earth immortal eternal.

At this moment, Fang Cheng seemed to see Chen Yanqing standing outside the long river of time, overlooking the past and the future, while the insect named "mortal" followed the waves, constantly reborn in death, and finally returned to extinction.

"Where are we staying at night?"

After having a meal in the temple at noon, the two went down the mountain together, and the old woman took the money from the pilgrims, and after thanking them a lot, she forced them to give them a peace charm.

"Uncle Qi's house, it's still the old place" Fang Cheng had already called him and asked Uncle Qi to help him buy fruits and pick some fresh vegetables from the vegetable field to prepare dinner.

"It's okay, I'm still worried about living in other places. Xiao Jingyu doesn't plan to go back to Yuchuan County today, she now likes this aimless, free life.

There is no heavy schoolwork, and I don't have to pay attention to the eyes of my classmates who are IQ offline.

With the person you like, you can live every day like a poem.

The two walked on the barren field, one after the other, and the shadows behind them grew longer and longer, gradually overlapping each other.

"Jingyu"

"Huh?"

"If you were given another chance to choose your life, would you rather stay in the city or here?"

"I should still choose to be in the city, after all, I can't farm or cook...... Mom and Dad should dislike it," Xiao Jingyu is self-aware.

"Fang Cheng, what about you?"

Fang Cheng shook his head, he looked into the distance.

"What about the square life, what about the great life, after all, it is just a mirror, and the light is fleeting"

This is probably the biggest difference brought about by the difference in pattern and vision.

……

At night

There was always a cold wind blowing outside the house, but there was a fireplace inside the house, which was probably the only place Fang Cheng could be proud of at the moment.

After having dinner with Xiao Jingyu, they sat on the sofa together and watched a movie side by side.

Different from the colorful entertainment facilities in the city, the only thing that Uncle Qi's family can get hold of is a 29-inch LCD TV.

But Fang Cheng and Xiao Jingyu are obviously not the kind of people who like to watch TV series that have been poisoned by the approval bureau, so they have to download good movies to relieve their boredom.

At first, Xiao Jingyu could concentrate on watching movies, but after half an hour, she found that Fang Cheng had been wandering, so she felt quite bored, so she simply said without a word.

Xiao Jingyu talked about his previous youth, some trivial things that happened in high school and the strange classmates he met after joining the cram school, and Fang Cheng occasionally talked about his college life, but he couldn't do without the classroom, cafeteria and library.

As for the bloody life in the rivers and lakes, Fang Cheng was unwilling to say half a word, maybe it would scare Xiao Jingyu, he was unwilling to take such a risk.

"When I come to the University of Manchester next year, what if the school refuses to let me live off-campus?"

Xiao Jingyu unknowingly mentioned this matter, although they have been avoiding talking about it, but after all, they have to come up with a feasible plan, at least they have to distinguish between "legal cohabitation" and "illegal cohabitation".

"Don't worry about this, Lao Lu is also our person"

"Which old Lu?"

"Lu Xiaoqing, the one who signed your graduation certificate in the future"

"Oh," Xiao Jingyu didn't know what to expect.

Fang Cheng's identity is too high, and sometimes she feels a little weak.

Because Xiao Jingyu is not a top kind of beauty, and her personality is not perfect, she only walked with Fang Cheng at a karmic gathering.

In fact, she has always been a little worried, afraid that she is not attractive enough to Fang Cheng, and there will always be a lot of bewitching sluts around him, although she trusts Fang Cheng's conduct, but after all, it belongs to the one who has not eaten in her mouth, and she is always not at ease enough.

"If you're sleepy, rest early" Fang Cheng noticed that Xiao Jingyu kept yawning, looking listless.

"It's okay, I'll help you warm the bed~" Xiao Jingyu deliberately stretched the tone of the epilogue very long.

“……”

"Are you going to be a beast or a beast tonight?" Xiao Jingyu was once again superb.
