It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the Nuwa Temple. The cigarette smoke curls in the Nuwa Temple, and there is an endless stream of people who burn incense and worship the Buddha, so it is a little less solemn and a little more cordial and peaceful.

The Nuwa in the Nuwa Temple is different from the Nuwa image seen by Tao Yao. In the temple, Nuwa has a snake body and a human face, and she is holding a boulder in her hand. Legend has it that this Nuwa temple was built after Nuwa mended the sky, and the people thanked her for her merits.

How many good men and women will burn a pillar of incense, kneel in front of the statue of Nuwa, and kowtow with pious hope. All they pray for is good health, or a smooth marriage, or a little more greed, and everything will be well.

There is a Bodhi tree in front of the Nuwa Temple. The linden tree has been around for many years, and there are still many vines hanging down from the tree, burrowing into the dirt, like curtain holes. Now is the time of the leafy season, and if someone hides in it, they can't see it if they don't look closely. There are many red silks hanging on the trees, and the red silks are written on people's long-cherished wishes.

Tao Yao also learned from people to write down their wishes and throw them on the tree. Nuwa Niangniang, you know Taoyao's wishes, I have never changed, I only hope that I can seek a consummation with Di Xin in this life.

Mo Li and Xi Mei didn't want to join in the fun like Tao Yao, so they went to other places. Tao Yao stood under the tree, and inadvertently found that there was a place in the middle of the vine, clean and tidy, like a small cave, so he leaned over and got into it.

The space inside is not large, and after Tao Yao gets in, she can't stand up straight. So she simply lay down in it and rested against the tree. The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, mottled with some warmth, which made Tao Yao feel very comfortable.

I don't know how long Mo Li will hang out, why don't you lie here and sleep first! Thinking like this, Tao Yao changed to a more comfortable position.

"Haha, it's itchy, it's itchy!" a smiling old voice sounded.

"Who is it? Where are you?" Tao Yao listened to the voice close to her, but she didn't see anyone.

"Yo, girl, can you actually hear me?" the voice came again. Tao Yao heard it clearly this time, and the voice came from behind her.

"Are you talking to me?" Tao Yao asked the Bodhi tree, turning around.

"It's me, that's right!" slowly the tree revealed the face of an old man.

"I'm sorry just now, I'm just tired, I want to take a break, don't I bother you!" Tao Yao thought that she was just about to sleep by someone's house, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"No, no, how could it be? It's just that when you moved just now, you touched the itching place of the old man. I couldn't help but make a noise, I didn't expect you to hear it!"

"Well, of course I can hear it, I was originally a peach tree spirit. ”

"Look at your age!"

"I'm over two hundred years old. ”

"I've lived for more than a thousand years. The Bodhi tree looked proud.

"Then have you been in this Nuwa Temple?"

"Yes, I've been here since I was a child! I've grown from a small tree to a towering tree today, and after so many years, it's just that this Nuwa Temple has not changed, and there have never been fewer people who come and go to burn incense and make wishes. ”

"Hehe, I also heard from people, come and have a look, join in the fun. Tao Yao looked at the people passing by through the gaps in the leaves, and asked, "Can all their wishes come true?"

"How is that possible?" the Bodhi Tree replied to her without even thinking about it. "Where does Nuwa Niangniang have so much time to see their wishes. In many cases, they don't necessarily have to achieve it, but they just put a kind of sustenance here. Only when there is an undying hope in our hearts can we have the motivation to live, right? The existence of Nuwa Temple is not to help everyone realize their wishes, but to give people a kind of hope invisibly. ”

"Is that so?" Tao Yao repeated in a low voice, feeling as if she understood, but also didn't seem to understand. Nuwa Temple has been there since Nuwa made up the sky. If the people who come to Nuwa to burn incense and pray in seconds, their wishes can come true, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos long ago. Among the people who come and go, how many people have bad intentions, and how many people have good intentions, even Nuwa Niangniang can't tell the difference, how can she help them all realize their wishes.

"Girl, is the outside world interesting? Tell me about it!"

"There's a lot of good food and fun in the outside world. If you're interested, why don't you go out and walk around? ”

"Hehe," Bodhi Tree smiled wryly, "I, although I have lived for more than a thousand years, I am just an idiot. If it weren't for the fact that he was in this Nuwa temple all the year round, I am afraid that he would still be a tree of wood, and he would not even have spiritual wisdom. ”

"So it's not that you don't want to go out, but you can't!" Momo nodded knowingly.

"Hey, hey!" Bodhi Tree smiled awkwardly, since you know, don't you tell me the truth?

Mo Li didn't come back to them for a while, anyway, there was nothing to do, and Tao Yao chatted with this Bodhi tree. Tao Yao told him about the outside landscape world, flowers, birds, insects and fish, and Bodhi Tree told her that there were thousands of pilgrims in this temple.

Before I knew it, an hour passed, and Tao Yao wanted to go out to find Moli and Ximei. But then she heard a somewhat familiar voice again, and she stepped back and sat down on the ground.

She saw through the lush foliage the face of a young girl. An ordinary girl's face that you can't distinguish if you don't enter the crowd. But Tao Yao remembered her, and remembered that she was shy and bold at that time to ask Mo Li to help her get married.

She held the red silk in her hand, and muttered in her mouth, "Nuwa Niangniang, you must bless me to find a good match...... After finishing the chatter, she threw the red silk hard into the tree. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and when the red silk was about to hang on the branches, it fell down again.

She stomped her feet, frowned, picked up the red silk, and muttered again, "Please Nuwa Niangniang, bless me to find a good fate as soon as possible, and get out of the bitter hole...... and then threw it into the tree again. This time there was no wind to make trouble, and the red silk hung on the branch, but at this time a finch came and stopped on the branch, and the branch shook and shook off her red silk.

The girl looked at the red silk that fell to the ground in a daze, and when Tao Yao thought she would give up, she picked up the red silk again, repeated the previous steps, and then threw the red silk into the tree again. This time there was no wind, no finch, and her red silk hung firmly on the branches.

She saw that the red silk did not fall again, and a beautiful smile spread across her face, shining in the sun. "Gee, it's getting late. I have to go back quickly, or the eldest aunt will find out and have nothing to eat!"

For a long time after that, when Tao Yao encountered setbacks, she would think of such an ordinary girl, her warm and hopeful smile, and her indomitable spirit.

"Do you know her?" saw her in a daze as she looked at the girl's back as she left.

"Count it as acquaintance, she asked my senior brother to help her divinate a hexagram before!"

"This girl, she comes often, I remember her. Well, the one over there is from the beginning of the year, and the one over there is from last year. The linden tree shook its branches and pointed it to her.

"Do you come often, is she a similar wish every time she comes?"

"It's pretty much the same, but that's all. I don't know much here, but she is a poor person, and her parents died early, and she has been following the aunt's family since she died. She had always hoped to find someone to marry, so that she could be free from the mercy of her eldest aunt. Bodhi Tree told Tao Yao everything he knew.

"Hmm. I've heard people say that before. She actually looked for her senior brother to divinate before, which was considered marriage. ”

"How's she married?"

"Her marriage was difficult, but in the end it was very happy. Tao Yao looked at the many wishes she had made on the tree, and suddenly truly understood what the Bodhi Tree said before, 'The existence of Nuwa Temple is not to help everyone realize their wishes, but to give people a kind of hope invisibly. ’

Although she knew that the hexagram that Mo Li had divined for her might be true, she didn't know when that moment would come. There is so much suffering in real life that she needs hope to keep herself going. She kept sneaking here to make a wish, telling herself to work hard to persevere, because hope was not far away.

From the moment of birth, everyone is destined to live a life, whether it is hardship or peace and joy. Those who are peaceful and joyful are just repaid, and those who are in hardship and hardship, if there is no hope, may end their lives in a hurry and pray for the next reincarnation. But in this way, it will mess up the path of reincarnation in the world. That's why there must be temples of gods and Buddhas.

"Okay, it's not too early, I'm going to leave too!" Tao Yao solved many doubts and said goodbye to the Bodhi tree in a good mood.

"Okay! You remember to come and talk to me again when you have time. "The Bodhi tree is actually quite reluctant, mainly because he is too lonely and lonely in this Nuwa Temple, although there are not many people coming and going, but no one can hear what he says.

After Tao Yao came out, it didn't take long to find Moli and Ximei, who had just come from behind the temple.

"Senior brother, why have you two been turning around for so long? I'm almost asleep waiting in front of me!"

Fang Ximei twisted her foot, and we rested in the back for a while. ”

"Is Senior Sister Ximei okay now?" Tao Yao looked at Ximei's feet, and saw that she was normal when she walked over, and she didn't see which foot was injured.

"It's all right, it's just stepping on a stone and twisting it. It's already done!"

Tao Yao saw Ximei's face as usual, so she didn't ask again, "That's good, then let's go back quickly, I've been a little hungry after coming out for so long." On our way back, let's stop by Yipinxiang to buy some snacks!"

"This is not a good way!" Ximei interrupted Tao Yao.

"It's a limp and you're on the way, isn't it, senior brother?" Tao Yao knew that she couldn't say anything about Ximei, and turned her head to look at Mo Li.

"Well, that's fine!"
