Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

When Dafu Temple was mentioned, Zhou Chang remembered from He Xi's memory what he was originally going to do today.

Before this, he suffered an unexpected disaster because his boss was imprisoned.

Everyone in the Yuan family was in a state of confusion, and in the past few days they had no one to turn to for help and had no idea what to do.

Therefore, Chief Steward He, who had a "second job", could only pray to God and came up with an idea, suggesting that Yuan Qi take her precious jade pendant to the temple and ask the monks to bless it, hoping that it would help turn disaster into good fortune.

Zhou Chang didn't know whether Yuan Qi originally believed in these things, but people tend to use these things to seek comfort when they are helpless, which is also human nature.

Therefore, Yuan Qi asked He Xi to choose the nearest day to go to Dafu Temple.

Since it was He Xi who said this, Zhou Chang, with his current status, could not say anything else. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and told the driver, "Go to Dafu Temple in the east of the city."

"Yes." The driver waved his whip and sped away.

When he arrived at Dafu Temple, He Xi was naturally familiar with the place, so he went directly to the Zen hall in the back hall to pay a visit to the abbot, Zen Master Yuanjue, and explained his purpose.

Master Yuanjue was a plump old man in his sixties. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, don't worry, you can hand over the corresponding items to our temple and come back to pick them up after 49 days."

"Forty-nine days? How can that be enough time?" Yuan Qi sat opposite Zen Master Yuanjue and had already taken off his veil, unable to conceal his inner anxiety at all.

"Amitabha," Master Yuanjue twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand and thought for a moment, "If the donor wants it urgently, it's not impossible, then I'll do it in 28 days."

Yuan Qi seemed to feel that what she said just now was inappropriate, but she couldn't wait for twenty-eight days, so she looked at Zhou Chang who was standing to the side.

"Amitabha, let me count with my fingers," Zhou Chang said the congratulatory words in this important Buddhist place, and quickly put his hands together to make up for it, "Master Abbot, it's urgent, can you hurry up a little bit?"

"Amitabha, good, good," Master Yuanjue thought for a while and finally gave the answer, "Seven days, no less."

Zhou Chang looked at Yuan Qi for instructions.

With Yuan Qi's current mood, he probably couldn't wait even a day, but he also knew that no matter how anxious he was, it wouldn't work. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded: "Thank you, Abbot."

"Amitabha. Then please give the corresponding items to my disciple Shuchen." Zen Master Yuanjue turned around and gestured.

Yuan Qi took out a crimson rectangular jade pendant from his arms, but felt doubtful when holding it in his hand.

Zhou Chang originally planned to take a closer look at the "legendary" jade pendant. In He Xi's memory, the Yuan family father and daughter valued it very much, but never showed it to others easily.

But he was attracted by the monk named Shuchen who walked up from behind.

What happened today? I just met a handsome guy in green, and now here comes a "living Tang Monk".

It seems that being promoted three levels in a row has its benefits. At least the people you meet will be wider, and the chances of seeing handsome men will increase.

"Amitabha," Shu Chen stepped forward and put his hands together, "Master, the two donors are here to greet you."

It is said that one’s appearance is most tested when he has no hair.

Shu Chen is the one who can stand the test. He has a fair face, eyes as clear as water, a red cassock on his body, and a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hand. He is a replica of "Tang Monk", even better than Tang Monk. His whole body is spotless, as if he has been shining in a glass cover for a long time, and he looks brand new and shiny as if he had just been taken out today.

Zen Master Yuanjue saw Yuan Qi's hesitation and put his palms together again: "Amitabha, don't worry, the things blessed in this temple are all blessed by the Buddha. The Buddha's power is boundless and there will be no loss. What's more, during these seven days, the corresponding things will be offered on the altar, and the seven disciples will chant scriptures day and night, and my disciple Shuchen will personally preside over it, so there will be no mistakes."

"Abbot, according to the calculations on your fingers, shouldn't you bless the treasure yourself so that it can gain the protection of the Buddha?" Zhou Chang knew that such a blessing would cost the Yuan family 10,000 taels, a considerable sum of money. At the very least, the abbot should do it personally.

Zen Master Yuanjue smiled peacefully, "Amitabha, I should have presided over it myself, but Dafu Temple is renovating the Baohua Hall recently, and I am easily distracted by worldly affairs. But my apprentice, although he is my disciple, his cultivation level is even higher than mine."

"Amitabha, Master, you are too kind." Shu Chen clasped his hands together and bowed eleven times, his face calm.

"Monks don't tell lies," Master Yuanjue continued, "A few months ago, Master Wanbei of Yunxiang Temple in Beiji City wrote to me saying that he would pass away this year and that he would rush to take over the position of abbot of Yunxiang Temple. He is already a person who can be the abbot of a temple, so what is there for you to worry about?"

Yuan Qi didn't seem to care about this, and he kept holding the jade pendant in his hands.

Shu Chen took a step forward and bowed to Yuan Qi: "Amitabha, don't worry, the blessed item is placed in the treasure box. If you are worried, you can lock it yourself. Others cannot see or touch it."

Zhou Chang also gradually retrieved more information about Dafu Temple from He Xi's mind. He bent down and whispered in Yuan Qi's ear: "Young Master, Dafu Temple is the second largest Buddhist temple in Jindu City. Most of the people who come here on weekdays are dignitaries in the imperial city. Because of various desires, those people want to bless some valuable things, and there are also many things that they don't want others to know. Please rest assured about your safety."

Yuan Qi finally relaxed and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you two Zen masters."

"Amitabha, Shuchen, you go and prepare." Master Yuanjue ordered.

"Yes." Shu Chen agreed, then turned around and washed his hands in the copper basin on the side.

The rest just waited on the sidelines.

Shuchen washed his hands three times in the copper basin.

Zhou Chang initially thought it was a solemn ceremony, but he washed it three times, and then three more times, until Shu Chen's hands were washed red, and then he stopped.

After some calculations, I wonder if this person is a mysophobe?

Just as he was wondering, Shu Chen picked up a gold-lacquered brocade box from the table beside him and continued to wipe it again and again, changing the rag and wiping it again.

He kept wiping until Zhou Chang could no longer hold his temper, then he took it and opened it.

"Please put the things in yourself." Shu Chen said to Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi gently placed the crimson jade pendant in his hand into the box.

Before Zhou Chang could see what the jade pendant looked like, Shu Chen had already closed the box lid and locked it, and placed the key in front of Yuan Qi: "Please keep this key well and open it yourself in seven days."

"Okay, thank you, Master." Yuan Qi took the key.

Afterwards, Shu Chen wrapped the gold-lacquered brocade box layer by layer with bright red silk cloth, and then he left holding it in his hands with great care.

Yuan Qi stood up unconsciously and watched until the jade pendant disappeared from his sight.

The blessing was completed. Zhou Chang was about to say goodbye on behalf of Yuan Qi, but unexpectedly Yuan Qi made a gesture to stop him. "I feel itchy on my head recently. Is it possible that I'm going to grow a brain?

I haven't stopped updating recently, so I'm not going to keep it for a long time, am I? 」
