Chapter 307: Pray in your heart
indeed so.
Su Yanfei spoke out what was in her heart.
The day she and Jiang Jun confirmed their relationship on Xiangyue Island, she felt that was the best fortune God had ever given her.
After climbing up the mountain, it was just as Jiang Jun had imagined.
There were indeed not many people at the foot of the mountain and in other places, because everyone was at the Xiangyue Temple on the mountain.
After all, Xiangyue Island is so famous that even many foreign tourists come here to visit. What they really like is not just the sea view of Xiangyue Island, but the Xiangyue Temple on the mountain on the island.
"We still have to queue. I thought there would be fewer people." Jiang Jun said in a low voice a little discouraged, lowering his head to take a sip of milk tea.
"That's not bad. Looking at the two teams ahead, it should be about half an hour before it's our turn. Let's go."
Su Yanfei pulled Jiang Jun's hand and spoke softly.
The two of them walked together to a queue with fewer people. In both queues, there were people of rich and noble status as well as ordinary people.
But no matter who you are, you have to make the most of it and queue up to enter the temple.
As the saying goes:
The poor tell fortunes and the rich burn incense.
Some people who come to Xiangyue Temple come to have their fortunes told, some burn incense and pray for divination sticks, some just burn incense and buy some tokens, and some don't believe in anything and just come here to take photos and check in as a souvenir.
Not long after, it was finally Jiang Jun and Su Yanfei's turn to enter the temple.
But who knew that they still made a "mistake". Xiangyue Temple was somewhat different from other temples they knew.
There are two lines outside. When you enter the hall, each line corresponds to the square tables on both sides. The square table on the left is for burning incense, seeking divination and fortune-telling, while the square table on the right is for people to simply receive incense and burn incense, as well as purchase and select tokens of love.
If someone is willing to burn incense, they can choose a token of love such as a talisman or a Buddhist bead bracelet. If they don't have that, they can only choose other types of things, such as a red rope, or a plastic card that claims to have been blessed.
Obviously, Jiang Jun and Su Yanfei are queuing here on the right.
If you want to go over to the opposite side to burn incense and draw lots, it is not impossible, but you have to go outside and queue up again. After all, there are a lot of people and everything has to follow the process.
Now Jiang Jun’s idea failed.
Su Yanfei saw the thoughtful expression on Jiang Jun's face. She gently touched his forearm and whispered, "It's okay, we'll stay here."
"Ok."
Jiang Jun nodded and said, "Since we are here, let's follow the procedure. Feifei, let's go burn incense first."
"Ah."
The two received incense from the master, walked to the front of the hall together, and knelt on the mat at the same time, slowly closed their eyes, and began to pray silently in their hearts.
"I hope Feifei and I can stay together forever, holding hands and growing old together."
"I wish the family good health and safety, and I also wish Shen Lang's mother to recover soon and live a happy life."
"Finally, if possible, I hope to stay in China for the rest of my life and never go back."
Jiang Jun silently recited a prayer in his heart, then opened his eyes, stood up and inserted the three incense sticks in his hand into the incense burner.
Su Yanfei next to him almost synchronized her movements with Jiang Jun. After they both lit incense, they looked at each other, but no one spoke at this time.
They all wanted to know what the prayers were that they had made to each other when burning incense, but they also knew that it would not work if they said them out loud.
They didn't know each other's specific prayer content, but there was one thing they all understood.
That is, no matter where the prayer is made or how many times it is made, there must be a part of the prayer that belongs to the other person.
The content of Jiang Jun’s last prayer was actually the most important.
If a person is gone, then nothing you say will help.
No one knew the shocking secret of his coming to China and the fact that Jiang Jun became "Jiang Jun". Even if he told it to others, no one would believe it.
As time went by, he really began to consider himself a Chinese. He loved this place and the people here more than anything else.
After burning incense, the two of them came to the square table a little further forward. If you look closely, you will find that there is actually a dividing line on the table.
Those who have burned incense and those who have not can choose different tokens. If at this time, if someone wants the token that he/she has burned incense more and wants to go back to burn incense, it is not allowed.
Unless you voluntarily go down the mountain and queue up again.
Jiang Jun took a look at the unburned tokens, especially the stack of plastic cards with Buddha printed on them, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Perhaps times have changed now, and any form of tokens can be blessed.
The master raised his hand to adjust the position on the table, then looked up at the two of them with a kind smile and said, "You two have offered incense before, come and choose the tokens here."
"Master, I want a talisman and a red rope." Su Yanfei said softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Jun glanced at Su Yanfei, and then said, "Master, I want these too, but I want two amulets."
The master nodded, put the things they wanted into red bags, and handed them to them.
Jiang Jun saw a donation box next to the token, where one could pay with cash or by scanning a QR code.
Scan the QR code to pay.
It really keeps up with the times.
That's when.
Another young couple queuing next to them stood next to Jiang Jun, glanced at the things on the table in front of them and at the donation box next to them, and a frivolous look suddenly appeared on the girl's face.
"Master, these tokens actually require money? And this merit box can even be paid by scanning a code. Does the Buddhist world also have the Internet?" the girl joked.
She took out her cell phone and walked to the donation box, and asked the master, "Master, we both want a peace amulet, how much do you think it will cost?"
When the boy heard his girlfriend say this, he seemed to think it made sense, and he also whispered in agreement: "I feel a little weird too, could it be fake? They say that the Xiangyue Temple is very effective, is it really that effective?"
The master's mouth twitched slightly, but his expression soon returned to normal. He put his hands together, still with a kind face, and said: "All I want is the word 'fate'. The things in the merit box are all incense money, and there is no specific amount for the token. It all depends on your personal intention."
"Buddha has no form. It varies from person to person. If you believe in it, it exists. If you don't believe in it, it doesn't exist. In short, if you are sincere, it works."
Hearing the master's words and what the two young couples next to him said, Jiang Jun's heart moved.
He took out his mobile phone, scanned the code and paid 888 yuan, while Su Yanfei scanned the code and paid 88 yuan.
If it were in the past, Jiang Jun was poor and might have some awe in his heart, but he would not believe in it completely. He had hardly ever been to such a place, and even if he had to give incense money, he might just do it for the sake of his intention.
But when his status becomes different and he can afford to give this gift, he will no longer think so.
If the prayers you make in your heart can come true, then what does this money you give as a token of your love mean to you?
【Believe it, it exists; don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist】
The master is absolutely right.
But no matter what, Jiang Jun would never say things like the young couple said just now, either in the past or now.
You may not believe it, but you must have a sense of awe.
What's more, this is in front of the temple hall.
To put it bluntly, maybe it existed originally, but after those words were spoken, there is nothing left.
Jiang Jun and Su Yanfei looked at each other, then walked out of Xiangyue Temple together from the other side, but they had no plans to go back so soon.
The Xiangyue Temple is not the only place on the mountain. Standing by the fence on the mountain, the scenery you can see is also breathtaking.
Su Yanfei looked at the two sachets in Jiang Jun's hands, one of which contained a amulet.
After noticing the other person's gaze, Jiang Jun took the lead in explaining.
"Fei Fei, the other amulet is what I asked for Aunt Xiang. I hope Aunt Xiang can wake up soon and be safe and healthy."
"Well, I guessed it, and I believe she will wake up."
