Chapter 106 Star Fan
It was past noon, and the number of people coming to the temple had decreased considerably! Most of them were pilgrims who had finished burning incense and were heading down the mountain!
The temple wasn't very big, only about two or three courtyards in size! In the center of the temple stood a very lush Bodhi tree, and under the tree were several young men and women hanging marriage fortune sticks!
Jun Moli, do you believe in this? Why don't we hang up a pair of marriage fortune sticks too!
If Xi'er believes it, then I will believe it too!
The two of them went to a young monk, gave him some money for incense, and then each picked up a pen and a red silk ribbon to write!
What did you write? Let me see!
No way! Gu Lingxi carefully protected what she wrote! If she reads it, it won't work! Let this sacred Bodhi tree witness whether our wishes can be fulfilled!
As she spoke, she tiptoed and leaped to the top of the Bodhi tree, gently tying the red ribbon she had made a wish upon!
Jun Moli followed suit, flying to the top of the tree to tie her own red ribbon for making a wish! In the instant she turned around, the wind gently brushed against their red ribbons, and Jun Moli could still clearly see what Gu Lingxi had written on them!
This is my only proof, a vow to grow old together! I only wish your heart were like mine, then I will never betray your love!
What he wrote was, "Having given my heart to one person, I am willing to spend the rest of my life in generosity! I would rather betray the Buddha than betray you, life after life!"
A bright smile shone on Jun Moli's face. Even though she was wearing a mask, her stunning profile still made Gu Lingxi blush and her heart race!
Why are you dawdling? Are you peeking?
How could that be? I am a gentleman!
It was the wind that allowed me to see this openly and honestly! I can only think this to myself!
Gu Lingxi pouted unhappily, "Hmph! I knew you wouldn't know either! Let's go! Let's go to that main hall to offer some incense!"
Worshippers came and went in the main hall. Gu Lingxi looked up at the statue standing in the center of the hall with a puzzled expression. It was not Buddha, Guanyin, the Four Heavenly Kings, or the Eighteen Arhats. Instead, it was a refined scholar holding a folding fan, with a gentle and jade-like smile on his face!
"What kind of Buddha is this?" Gu Lingxi asked Jun Moli with a curious expression.
Jun Moli shook his head in confusion; he didn't know either!
An older woman had just finished worshipping the statue and was about to get up when Gu Lingxi walked over and politely asked, "Auntie, may I ask what kind of god this is?"
The woman was quite surprised that someone didn't recognize Guanyin at this hour, but she still politely said, "Of course this is a statue of Guanyin! Where are you from? How come you don't even recognize this!"
What Guanyin? Are you sure? But what I saw was a handsome and refined scholar!
The auntie got anxious and said, "Young man, are you blind? You mustn't say anything that might anger the gods and bring punishment upon you!" After saying that, she hurriedly left, as if afraid that Gu Lingxi's reckless words would implicate her!
I asked four or five more people, including a child, and they all said the same thing as the auntie in front of me!
One person might be lying, but two, three, even a child all say they saw the dignified and majestic Guanyin! Could it be that there's something wrong with her eyes? But why did Jun Moli see the same thing as her?
The two of them saw an old abbot approaching and hurriedly went over to inquire!
Abbot Xuanjing sized up the two men. "Both of you possess an innate nobility. If what you see is a precious image unlike any other, then it is your destiny! All things arise from causes and conditions! All encounters, separations, reunions, and partings are ordained by Heaven! There is a predetermined fate in the unseen realm. I hope you two will cherish this opportunity!"
Gu Lingxi and Jun Moli exchanged a glance. Gu Lingxi... this old monk is talking strangely! This temple is strange too!
Inside the space, Ahri suddenly spoke up, "Master, that fan looks delicious!"
Gu Lingxi... How can she eat this? However, she still looked up and took a closer look. It seemed that the fan in the scholar's hand contained some kind of energy. Gu Lingxi keenly sensed a faint energy wave!
Unable to resist her curiosity, Gu Lingxi brazenly asked, "Old Abbot, could I take that fan down and take a closer look?"
The old abbot stroked his white beard and smiled kindly. "Amitabha! Please help yourself, young benefactor! Since it is your karmic connection, you may take it without asking me!"
Please make yourselves at home, esteemed guests. This old monk will take his leave now!
After watching the old monk leave, Gu Lingxi asked Jun Moli to take the fan down! She muttered to herself, "What a strange monk!"
Jun Moli flew up, and the moment he touched the folding fan, the fan surface shone with golden light, emitting a dazzling brilliance!
The others in the hall seemed oblivious, each preoccupied with their own affairs!
Just as the light flickered, a wisp of white light also appeared above the old abbot's head! Within the light and shadow, there seemed to be a soft murmur: "Master, a thousand years have passed, and your disciple is finally free! Take care!"
Upon receiving the fan, Gu Lingxi examined it closely. She vaguely sensed its extraordinary nature; it seemed to be a magical artifact! However, Gu Lingxi was completely unfamiliar with such things. Only after truly entering the world of cultivation would she be able to ascertain the level of this treasure!
Star Fan: All-encompassing! All things return to one!
Hey! Look, there's a star twinkling over there!
When Jun Moli heard the Star Fan, encompassing all things! When all laws return to one, something suddenly flashed through his mind. This sentence was very familiar, as if he had said it himself! But he clearly remembered that he had never said this sentence in his life!
Hearing Gu Lingxi call him to look at the stars on the fan, Jun Moli finally snapped out of his reverie. Now he also found this place quite strange! There were 12 constellations on it, but only one star was twinkling? What did that mean?
The two studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. They decided to take it with them and study it slowly, since the old abbot had said they could take it as they pleased! So they wouldn't stand on ceremony! If it was destined for them, then it was their treasure!
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard a young monk calling the other monks over! He said that the old abbot had passed away!
What? How could he have suddenly passed away? The two couldn't help but sigh, it truly proved the old monk's words: meeting and parting are all preordained! They are all predestined and fate!
By the time they descended the mountain, it was already dark, so Jun Moli simply carried Gu Lingxi to the highest peak to look at the stars!
The two sat embracing each other. Gu Lingxi looked at the starry sky and couldn't help but sigh, "The starry sky here is really beautiful!"
Moved by her feelings, Gu Lingxi pointed to the bright moon and stars in the sky and said to Jun Moli!
May I be like a star and you like the moon, shining brightly together every night!
Jun Moli affectionately stroked the top of Gu Lingxi's fluffy hair!
If you remain as bright and pure as the moon, I would brave ice and snow to warm you!
As long as I am here, I will protect you for the rest of your life! May you enjoy joy and health year after year!
I love the starlight in your eyes, and promise me you'll always be like that!
