All parts of the west are full of strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere. Xiao Sheng and Gong Shiheng are both non-religious people, but they just have a fun mentality and get a little infection by the way.
Lao Huang suggested that they go to the nearby Zhao Temple first, and then drive along the way to hang a prayer flag.
It's not a holiday, so there aren't many people.
Xiao Sheng usually didn't believe this, but Gong Shiheng had just experienced a serious illness, and when he met a god or a Buddha, it didn't matter if he worshiped him.
They walked along the way to the temple. They met many worshipers on the roadside. They walked a few steps, and then they all fell to the ground and kowtowed.
Xiao Sheng knew that people had to come all the way from far away to worship, and some people even had to walk for a year.
She was still holding dried meat in her hand, which made her feel a little ungrateful.
Gong Shiheng caught a glimpse of her smacking her lips and couldn't help laughing, "If you believe it, you have it. If you don't believe it, you don't have it."
Xiao Sheng swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "How about I get down and bow to you too?"
Gong Shiheng: "..."
He was worried that she would really keep her promise, so he led her forward quickly and said, "Let's go to the prayer wheel, it's easier than this."
Xiao Sheng also knew.
Inside the prayer tube are scriptures. It is said that turning the prayer tube once is equivalent to reciting the scriptures once.
She felt that this was not very pious. If you wanted to recite it, you should recite it yourself. Why should you deceive the Buddha?
There are many people spinning prayer wheels around, their expressions are solemn, their movements are careful, and their spinning speed is very slow.
When it was their turn, no one was around.
She looked around, grabbed the wooden handle under the prayer tube with both hands, and used force to spin the prayer tube so that it flew up.
Gong Shiheng was startled when he heard the noise, and quickly pressed the handle before the people next to him noticed it.
"Shengsheng, what are you doing?"
Xiao Sheng came close to him and said, "I read it for you. It's fast and efficient. Please read it a few times."
Gong Shiheng: "..."
He was worried that she might steal something again, so he held her hand and said, "I just saw someone throwing sticky rice paper. Do you want to buy it?"
Xiao Sheng nodded, "I know, that one seems to be called Ronda, and she also prays for blessings."
Seeing her interest, Gong Shiheng also bought some and found a windy place to put them.
Xiao Sheng got it, and when he wasn't paying attention, he stuffed one into his mouth to taste it.
Pooh!
She spit it out immediately and her expression wrinkled.
Gong Shiheng happened to catch her and reached out to pinch her cheek, "It's skinny."
“It doesn’t taste very good.”
She put her things away and said, "It's a little boring here. Let's go for a drive. If you come across a place with prayer flags, I'll hang one for you."
"good."
When we walked from the temple to the car, it was already past afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.
Xiao Sheng leaned against the car and took a photo of himself and Gong Shiheng.
In the photo, the man has his sleeves rolled up and is walking to the other side of the car. He has a handsome face and a warm smile.
She was very satisfied, collected the photos, and got into the car.
As the car drove westward, they came across a shop selling prayer flags. They bought two hundred and forty meters long, enough to hang two.
She was lying on the car window, facing the wind, feeling very comfortable.
"Gong Shiheng." She spoke into the wind.
"What?"
He was driving and couldn't hear clearly what she said.
The next second, I saw her holding a prayer flag, leaning out of the window, and shouting again into the wind.
"Gong Shiheng——"
is his name.
He smiled, freed his hand to pull her, and raised his voice, "Shengsheng, sit down."
When the girl heard the sound, she turned around in the wind, pouted her lips, and muttered that she disliked Tang Monk.
