Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.
Chapter 327 The Bodhisattva Appeared! [2 in 1, please subscribe]
To be honest, Li Zhixuan himself is an atheist. But as a time traveler, how could he be so sure that there are absolutely no gods or Buddhas in this world?
Moreover, praying in the temple is also a way of traveling. It can help pregnant women relax and feel at ease after worshiping Buddha, so isn’t that good?
The day before yesterday, I went to Bongeunsa Temple in Seoul, the day before yesterday, Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju, yesterday I went to Tongdosa Temple on Mount Yeonggyu, and this morning I went to Beomeosa Temple in Busan.
I have visited two-thirds of the six temples.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after lunch break, they left the Hilton Hotel where they were staying.
After only five or six minutes, they arrived at their destination - Haedong Yonggung Temple in Busan.
Unlike other quiet Zen temples that are always hidden in the mountains, "Haedong Yonggungsa Temple" on the east side of Busan City is located on the rocks on the coast and is a rare seaside temple.
You have to park the car about one or two hundred meters away from the temple gate, because there are many street snacks and souvenir shops on both sides of the road, extending all the way to the entrance of the temple.
Although the weather was not very good, a bit gloomy and windy, the streets were still bustling with tourists. If you listened carefully, you would find that many of them were speaking Chinese.
Because China was in the National Day Golden Week, many people came to South Korea for tourism. They could run into Chinese tourists every day these days. It was nothing special, but Li Zhixuan was still very happy to hear his hometown dialect.
After waiting for Lim Yoona and the other three to put on their hats and sunglasses, they got off the car.
Not wanting to draw attention, none of the four women walked with Lee Chi-hyun. Im Yoona and Bae Joohyun linked arms, while Krystal Jung held Jessica Jung's arm. The four of them walked in front. Lee Chi-hyun, with two thermoses hanging around his neck and a bag in hand, lagged behind them half a step.
Around them, more than a dozen bodyguards had mixed in with the tourists, secretly protecting them.
After walking a few steps, Jessica Jung saw a vendor selling spicy rice cakes.
The red spicy rice cakes were steaming hot and looked very appetizing. Jessica's eyes lit up instantly and she pointed at the food stall over there and said, "I want to eat this!"
"no!"
The first trial was rejected by Li Zhixuan, and Zheng Xiuyan's face instantly fell. Her face was tense and full of resentment.
Regarding this, Lim Yoona, Bae Joo-hyun, and Krystal Jung are no longer surprised, and even feel like laughing a little, because this scene has been played out every day in recent days.
In the past, the famous foodies in Girls' Generation were Yoona and Choi Sooyoung, but in recent days, Jessica Jung suddenly became a foodie.
She wanted to eat everything she saw, and now she could eat things she couldn't eat before, and she loved eating things she loved before even more. This must be because she was pregnant.
But because she was pregnant, Li Zhixuan didn't dare let her eat at street stalls casually. What if she got sick from eating?
But even though she knew that Li Zhixuan would not agree, Zheng Xiuyan would still bring it up every time, and it would be rejected, and then she would start to get angry about her weight gain.
It seems like it was programmed, which is really interesting.
Jessica Jung started to get angry about her weight gain, and it was Li Zhixuan's turn to coax her next.
Immediately, Li Zhixuan came forward with a bag and said, "Xiu Yan, I have prepared a lot of food for you in this bag. Can't you eat what's inside?"
Zheng Xiuyan's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she turned her head away angrily, not looking at the scumbag: "I don't like to eat these!"
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan sighed helplessly and asked, "Do you know why you don't like to eat?"
"Why?" Jessica turned around curiously.
"Because it's in this bag. If it weren't in this bag, you'd love to eat it."
"Haha!" The three people nearby were all amused, and they felt that what Li Zhixuan said made sense. Because they were sometimes like this too, when they didn't want to eat what was available at home, they would want to eat what was not available at home.
But when they laughed, Zheng Xiuyan became unhappy. She said to Li Zhixuan with a stern face, "So you are blaming me, right? I'm hypocritical! I'm troublesome!"
Li Zhixuan spread his hands and said, "Do you think I have the guts?"
You don't have it either! In that case...
Jessica immediately shook off her sister's hand, then came over and took Li Zhixuan's hand, saying coquettishly: "Oppa, buy one portion. I only want to eat a little bit."
As she spoke, Jessica Jung made the gesture to Lee Chi-xuan that could easily get her banned in South Korea.
What should I do? If I keep refusing, my pregnant mother will get angry, which is also bad for her health.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Zhixuan raised his right hand and waved it gently.
Soon, a "tourist" ran to Li Zhixuan.
"Boss, what do you want?"
Li Zhixuan pointed and said, "Go to the stall selling fried rice cakes and see if they use ingredients that are made with technology and hard work. If not, watch the boss make one for me and then bring it to me."
"Yes!"
After answering, the "tourist" ran towards the stall selling fried rice cakes.
At this moment, Krystal suddenly said, "Wait a minute! Buy two! Two!"
Lin Yuna also spoke up: "Three servings! I'll eat too!"
Seeing this situation, Bae Joo-hyun felt that she would be out of place if she didn't shout out.
"Four Uh~"
As soon as she shouted a word, Bae Joo-hyun's mouth was covered by Li Zhixuan's hand.
They all shouted, why shouldn’t I be allowed to shout?
Pei Bule turned around and gave the scumbag a questioning look.
Although Li Zhixuan couldn't see the questioning look through his sunglasses, he still explained, "Don't join in the fun. Three servings are enough for you. Don't waste food."
"Ok."
In order to take care of Jessica Jung's emotions these days, Yoona and Krystal, who are not pregnant and could eat whatever they want, have been trying hard to suppress their gluttony.
Now I can finally let loose for a while.
As they were walking down the street, the bodyguard brought over three servings of fried rice cakes.
Jessica Jung had one portion, Krystal Jung had one portion, and Yoona and Bae Joohyun shared one portion.
After eating two small pieces, Zheng Xiuyan, who was originally excited, was speechless. She turned around and stuffed her portion of spicy rice cake into Li Zhixuan's hand: "It's not tasty, you eat it, don't waste food."
"Hehe~" Bae Joo-hyun was amused, and when she thought about what would happen in a while, she wanted to laugh even more.
"What are you laughing at? Am I right? Three servings are more than enough for you. If you buy more, it will definitely be wasted."
Zheng Xiujing turned around and gave Li Zhixuan a thumbs up: "You are right, I will give you this one too, don't waste food."
As she said that, Krystal Jung stuffed her portion of fried rice cakes into Li Zhixuan's hands.
Looking at the two portions of fried rice cakes in his hands, Li Zhixuan had a bad feeling, then looked up at Lim Yoona and Bae Joo-hyun.
The next second, the third portion of rice cakes was handed over. Bae Joo-hyun: "Don't waste food. Come on!"
🇧🇷
Li Zhixuan looked at the four people speechlessly, then picked up a piece of rice cake with a small fork and put it into his mouth.
Oh no! It’s okay to waste food. There’s no need to make things difficult for yourself and your stomach just for three servings of fried rice cakes.
After passing through the snack and grocery street, they arrived at the temple's gate.
The building has flying eaves and angled corners, and is beautifully decorated, a typical example of traditional oriental architecture. The thick pillars on both sides of the mountain gate are all golden, with two golden dragon carvings entwined on them.
There is a plaque above it with white characters on a black background, which reads "The First Guanyin Holy Land in Haidong" from right to left.
In most temples, the steps after entering the mountain gate are upwards. However, the steps of Haedong Yonggung Temple are downwards. There are 108 steps in total, which means that there are 108 kinds of troubles in life, and each step you take will make you forget one trouble.
Once you finish walking up the stairs, your worries will be gone.
Of course this is just a wishful thinking.
In fact, Li Zhixuan was scared when he went down the stairs.
What if Jessica Jung or Bae Joohyun missed a step and fell down? There are 108 steps, not to mention children, even adults can fall down.
Therefore, he was extremely careful when going down the stairs, and the "tourists" around him were also paying attention with high vigilance. There were also "enthusiastic tourists" who kept reminding everyone to hold the railing when going down the stairs, not to rush, and to walk slowly.
Soon, they finished walking up the stairs without any trouble. Then, turning right and passing through the Fuji Gate, they walked onto a stone bridge across the sea.
The surging waves under the bridge beat hard against the rocky beach. Some tourists on the bridge were taking photos, while others were throwing coins into the sea to make wishes.
Seeing the girlfriends' hair flying wildly in the wind, Li Zhixuan quickly reminded them, "Please wear your hats. It's windy on the bridge. Don't let the wind give you a headache."
The four girls quickly raised their hands to hold down their hats to prevent them from being blown away by the wind. Then, Lin Yuner said excitedly: "Let's make a wish!"
"Okay!"
The purpose of their trip was to pray and make a wish, so naturally no one would object to Yoona's proposal.
South Korea is still a long way from entering a cashless society, so coins are not a rare thing and you can find a few in anyone's bag.
Bae Joo-hyun took one extra and gave it to Lee Chi-xuan, and then the five of them started throwing coins and making wishes on the bridge.
Lim Yoona: Please bless me to give birth to a son.
Bae Joo-hyun: Please bless me to give birth to a son.
Jessica Jung: Please bless me to give birth to a son.
Krystal Jung: Please bless my sister to give birth to a son.
Li Zhixuan: May our family be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster, and healthy. May they and I live happily ever after.
"Let's go!"
"it is good!"
After making their wishes, they continued on their way. No one asked what they had wished for, as they were all worried that it would not come true if they said it out loud.
As they approached the bridge, they entered a small tunnel carved into the rock.
Because the tunnel is relatively short, it doesn't seem dark even though there are no lights inside.
Not long after entering the tunnel, they saw Buddha statues placed on both sides of the tunnel.
When they got closer, they could see that the Buddha statues on both sides were only about one meter high. The one on the left was a stone Buddha with a big belly, a bald head, and an exposed chest.
The stone was originally rough, but the belly of this Buddha statue has been rubbed until it is smooth and shiny.
Why is this so?
Because there was a sign hanging above the Buddha statue, with "De Male Buddha" written in both Chinese and Korean.
Touch him and you will give birth to a son!
Seeing this situation, Yoona was the first to reach out and touch it.
Jessica Jung and Bae Joohyun followed closely behind, only Krystal Jung did not move.
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan walked up to Zheng Xiuyan and asked jokingly, "Auntie, don't you want to give birth to a baby for me?"
Zheng Xiujing rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm only 21, why are you in such a hurry? I'll come back in a few years."
The three of them had touched enough, so Lin Yuna turned around and said to Li Zhixuan and the others, "Okay! Let's keep going!"
Li Zhixuan: "The one on the right has achieved enlightenment, so why not touch him?"
"You've already graduated, why are you touching him? Go away! Wait until you have a baby and then bring the child to touch him."
"alright."
At the end of the tunnel there is another flight of stairs. This time there are not as many as 108 floors, only about twenty.
At the end of the steps, there is a platform. Above the platform, there are steps. Above the steps is the magnificent "Main Hall".
However, the main hall is not open, so it is unlikely to pray here, so you can only continue to walk up. At the highest point of the temple, there is a large white statue of Guanyin of the Sea.
Logically speaking, Guanyin should be called Bodhisattva, but here it is called "Sea Water Guanyin Buddha".
After climbing up in circles for twenty minutes, they finally arrived in front of the ten-meter-high "Seawater Guanyin Buddha".
Buy some incense, then kneel down on the cushion in front of the Buddha statue and pray, and finally put the incense into the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue, and that's it.
But Li Zhixuan and his friends were not the only tourists in the temple. Many tourists were queuing up to pray, so they had to queue up as well.
Five cushions, five teams. Coincidentally, Li Zhixuan and his group also had five people.
But considering safety issues, Li Zhixuan did not let them line up separately, but instead had the five of them line up in one queue, which happened to be the middle one.
After waiting for about five minutes, it was finally their turn.
Jessica Jung was the first to say: Please bless us mother and child to be safe. It would be best if it’s a son, but a daughter is also acceptable, but she must be safe and healthy.
Then it was Krystal Jung: Please bless my sister and make her wish come true.
Bae Joo-hyun: Please bless me with a son, a healthy one. It's not that I favor boys over girls, I'm doing this for Oppa. With a son, his position as heir will be secure. Please. If I give birth to a son, I will definitely return to fulfill my vow and build a golden statue for you.
Following is Lim Yoona: Please give me a child, thank you.
Finally, Li Zhixuan came to the futon.
Looking at the solemn and majestic Buddha statue, Li Zhixuan slowly knelt on the cushion while holding three lit incense sticks.
If you have a spirit, please bless my family with safety, bless China with good weather, and bless the country with peace and prosperity. Bless... bless me to become a true king of South Korea!
After making the wish, Li Zhixuan placed his hands holding the incense on his forehead, then bent down and bowed solemnly.
At that moment, the wind died down, the waves calmed, a crack appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and a ray of golden sunlight shone directly on the giant statue of Guanyin of the Sea.
Suddenly, the white Guanyin Buddha seemed to be filled with golden light.
"Oh my god! The Bodhisattva appeared?!"
