Chapter 27 Temple Fair Blessing
The annual prayer day is approaching, and a solemn and sacred atmosphere permeates the entire city of Kyoto.
As a prominent family in the area, the Yun family naturally wanted to actively participate in this event.
This year, they chose Juechan Temple outside the city as their place of prayer.
Nestled amidst verdant mountains and clear waters, this ancient temple boasts a tranquil and pleasant environment, with a thriving incense offering service and a large number of devotees.
The old lady of the Yun family was full of expectations for this prayer, hoping to receive the Buddha's protection and blessings.
As the day of prayer approached, all branches of the Yun family began preparations well in advance.
Grandma Yun carefully selected various offerings, including fresh flowers, fruits, incense, and candles, to express her respect for Buddha.
Yun Juan found it utterly absurd. If Buddha could truly save all sentient beings, then those who sought marriage or wealth would all have their dreams fulfilled.
It's just that people are too greedy and want to rely on Buddha to give them some comfort.
Grandma Yun was quite obsessed with this matter and even organized a grand Buddhist ceremony, inviting renowned monks to preside over it and pray for the family and all living beings.
On the day of the prayer, Grandma Yun asked everyone to dress appropriately and go to Juechan Temple with a devout heart.
Along the way, laughter and cheerful voices could be heard coming from Grandma Yun's carriage.
It has to be said that Yun Rong really knows how to coax people; she made the old lady so happy.
"Miss! Listen, this old lady has been so charmed by Yun Rong that she hasn't stopped laughing the whole way!" Qinghe was sick of hearing it!
"Being good at sweet-talking is a skill in itself! After all, we can't learn the skill of lying through our teeth! We only know how to touch people's hearts!" Yun Juan couldn't help but sigh!
Qinghe was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by her young mistress's words.
We arrived at Juechan Temple quickly. Because we had made prior arrangements, the abbot and the master were waiting at the entrance.
Because the journey wasn't very long, Grandma Yun's words didn't take much of a toll on her energy.
When she got off the carriage, Yun Juan saw that she still had a smile on her face, and even her cheeks were flushed.
Yunrong, who was standing next to the old lady, had her arm around her arm. This scene, which Yun Juan saw, was truly a touching picture of the deep affection between the grandmother and granddaughter!
If Yun Quan hadn't received the DNA results, she wouldn't have been moved. Now that she knows, wow, she's truly touching.
When Yunting arrived, he rode in Aunt Hua's carriage. Aunt Hua had been in the household for many years but was still beautiful, showing no signs of aging.
Yun Quan couldn't help but sigh, "Old Deng really has a good eye. Time never defeats a beauty. He's absolutely right!"
However, Aunt Yu had a very low profile. When Yun Juan looked at her, she nodded slightly, which was equivalent to greeting Yun Juan!
If we're talking about who's the most unpredictable person in the Prime Minister's mansion, it has to be Aunt Yu.
When Yun Ting got off the carriage, Yun Juan saw the red marks on the old man's neck, guessing that the two of them hadn't behaved themselves on the way!
Wow, at his age, he's got real energy! I still remember the first day I returned to the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Yun didn't give me a very good impression!
In broad daylight, he and Aunt Hua were having sex in the mansion, using their little yellow car!
Even on the way to a temple to pray to Buddha, it wouldn't behave; it's just like an old teddy bear!
"Abbot!" Prime Minister Yun bowed slightly to the abbot.
"Esteemed guests! The vegetarian meal has been prepared! Please proceed inside the temple!"
The abbot's face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see through everything in the world.
His beard was already white, like snowflakes in winter, giving people a sense of the passage of time.
He wore a simple kasaya, without any fancy decorations, yet it exuded an aura of transcendence.
The abbot's every movement was steady and solemn, inspiring respect in everyone.
Ever since the auction ended and she got the hairpin, Yun Juan has dreamed of Juechan Temple every time she sleeps, as if she was being guided there by some unseen force.
She figured there must be something here she didn't know about, and since she was already here, she couldn't let it go!
From the moment she entered the temple, she could feel the abundance of incense offerings. She had also heard from Wei's mother that Juechan Temple was the most popular temple in terms of incense offerings.
Juechan Temple has the most eminent monks who have passed away in meditation, and the temple enshrines many relics of these masters!
Yun Quan had never seen a truly enlightened monk who had passed away peacefully. She was a materialist, so she still harbored a slight skepticism about this matter!
She used to be an atheist and didn't believe in ghosts or gods, but ever since her soul transmigrated here, there are some things she has to believe in!
Yunrui also came along on this trip for the first time ever. Yun Juan was very happy to see this, which meant that he was starting to get better and was no longer taking a backseat.
"Second brother, let me help you push your wheelchair!" Yun Juan tried to take the wheelchair from Qing Tong, but he stopped her.
"The wheelchair is too cumbersome, let Qing Tong do it! He's stronger!"
Yun Juan looked at the heavy wooden wheelchair he was sitting in and remembered that she seemed to have a more modern and lightweight wheelchair in her space!
We can get him one later, but a platform doesn't seem suitable; it's too conspicuous.
They will later say it was bought at an auction.
Yun Quan dared to do this entirely because, in addition to Tianyuan Kingdom, there were three other kingdoms, six states, and four seas!
Besides these places, there are many unknown places, with many legends, and some even say that immortals once lived on this land!
Yun Juan didn't continue to compete with Qing Tong this time. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. She could just go back and change his wheelchair.
"Second Brother! You seem to have gained weight recently!" Yun Juan teased.
Yunrui's cheeks flushed slightly at her words: "No way, don't talk nonsense! But I still want to thank my sister for... giving me those slaps back then! Otherwise I..."
Yun Juan patted the back of his hand: "It's good that you're getting better. Your mother was very worried about you!"
These past few years have been quite difficult for Madam Wei in the mansion. None of her children are by her side, and even though her second son is here, he stays indoors all day long!
No one has suffered more than her!
After finishing their vegetarian meal, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
Because of the need to pray for blessings, the Yun family members need to stay at the temple for one night.
When the night was deep and quiet, Yun Juan changed into a set of night clothes and decided to go and see what was going on here.
Why did she remember being led to Juechan Temple? Is there some secret here?
However, Yun Juan encountered an uninvited guest just as she stepped out the door.
Who is this uninvited guest?
What is he doing here?
These questions confused and unsettled Yun Quan.
She decided to proceed with caution and see what this uninvited guest was up to.
Why does this person's back look so familiar? Yun Juan seems to have seen him somewhere before?
She racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out, so she decided to follow him and see what he was doing here!
