Siheyuan: abandoning moral qualities and enjoying an immoral life

Chapter 88 Seeking the Way at Miaofeng Mountain

In the jeep, Li Huaide finally got back on track and asked jokingly, "Are you interested in that girl? She looks pretty good, but she's a little young and still in high school."

Wang Hongtao naturally would not admit it. He said a few words casually and then changed the subject.

"Accompany me to the factory first, and then take me to another place later."

"Okay, Director Li,"

Li Huaide didn't say anything, so Wang Hongtao didn't ask. He would know sooner or later anyway.

After saying that, Li Huaide fell asleep, and soon he could hear rhythmic snoring.

When I looked up at the rearview mirror again, I found that Li Huaide was lying on his side and sleeping like a dead pig. I guess he wouldn't wake up even if I slapped him.

Needless to say, this girl must have been busy last night, doing something shameless behind the man's back.

……

Li Huaide first went to the factory to check in, and only let Wang Hongtao set off after confirming that there was nothing important.

Wang Hongtao didn't know the way, so he drove whatever Director Li told him to do.

The jeep turned many corners and finally arrived at the gate of a large but somewhat dilapidated temple.

There were sharp stones and tiles nearby, so Wang Hongtao parked his car on the lawn in front of the temple for fear of damaging the tires.

After getting off the car, Wang Hongtao saw a warning sign that said "Please do not trample on the lawn". He pulled it up and stuck it on the lawn opposite.

The temple was a bit shabby. After parking the car, Wang Hongtao followed Li Huaide inside. After a few steps, they saw a large hall with three big characters "Hui Ji Temple" written in front of the door. Wang Hongtao always felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

What is Director Li doing here?

Wang Hongtao couldn't help but think of the question Li Huaide asked him when he went out.

Could it be that the wish for a child has come?

Although the temple in front of him looked a bit dilapidated, Wang Hongtao did not intend to look down on it.

Although there is no talk of destroying the four olds yet, the fight against feudal superstition has always been there, so it is understandable that temples and Taoist temples are a bit dilapidated.

Li Huaide walked in and Wang Hongtao followed him without saying a word.

Walk through the gate and pass through the corridor selling jewelry and ritual instruments, and you will enter the Main Hall.

A huge statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the hall, with a solemn appearance.

There were a few devout believers who knelt before the Buddha statue and prayed devoutly.

Most people's lives are ordinary, especially in this day and age. If you can have enough food and warm clothes, you are already better than most people.

There are several other statues behind the main hall, each with different functions, such as seeking children, managing wealth, and finding a partner...

Li Huaide walked directly to a tall statue. The statue's face was hazy and exuded a mysterious aura.

Looking at the tablet in front of the statue, it reads: Bixia Yuanjun, the Holy Mother of Heaven on the top of Mount Tai.

According to folklore, Bixia Yuanjun has great magical powers. She can take care of farming, business, travel, marriage, cure diseases and save lives, and especially can make women give birth, and children be healthy, with bright eyes and good health.

Wang Hongtao couldn't help but curl his lips. Sure enough, he came here to pray for a child. It seems that Director Li not only has a secret, but also has the problem of being childless.

It's just about praying for a child, there's no need to trouble the gods. If you really can't find a way, you can come to me.

I have met my sister-in-law Wang Hongtao several times. She has an above-average appearance and a good figure. Most importantly, she has a very special noble temperament that other women do not have. It is the kind that can make people feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Therefore, Wang Hongtao is very happy to help his leader share his worries.

He is not greedy, so just stew two cups of soup for him to nourish himself after work.

Up to now, Wang Hongtao was just suspicious in his heart. After all, his sister-in-law was a descendant of a military family, and he couldn't force her.

No matter what Wang Hongtao thought, Li Huaide was very pious. He first worshipped, then burned incense, and finally tied the doll.

According to the rules, the couple should come together to tie the doll, with the man standing on the left and the woman on the right, and tie the doll in the box in front of them. However, the market has been bad recently, and the temple does not want to miss any "Buddha's fate", so they changed their words and said that it is okay to tie the doll alone, as long as the intention is there.

So Li Huaide did another good deed.

After worshipping the Goddess of Descendants, Li Huaide went to worship other deities.

Wang Hongtao suddenly remembered the lightning rod on the top of the temple and finally decided not to worship.

But since he was already here, he decided to ask for two lots and try his luck.

I came to the fortune-telling place alone, closed my eyes and randomly picked a fortune stick from the bucket, and chose to just go with the flow.

To interpret the fortune, you need to add incense money, and the set amount of incense money is ten cents.

According to the fortune teller, giving one cent as incense money shows your sincerity.

Wang Hongtao thought: one cent = ten points, no problem!

Unfortunately, Wang Hongtao searched all his pockets but couldn't find a dime.

So he took the big black ten and said to the master who was interpreting the divination: "I'm sorry, Master, I forgot to bring change when I left in a hurry. Can you interpret the divination first for the sake of Buddha and then burn incense?"

The master opened the merit box to reveal the pile of loose bills inside, meaning that he had change to exchange. Then he put his hands together and bowed to Wang Hongtao.

Wang Hongtao looked at the master speechlessly: "Master, you won't keep this money for yourself, right?"

The master glanced at Wang Hongtao and said, "Monks don't tell lies, no."

So Wang Hongtao had to turn around and ask Li Huaide for a dime in change and handed it over honestly.

Then he handed the lot in his hand to the master.

The master took the lot and asked, "What do you want to ask for?"

Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "Guess."

The master said calmly, "Before I interpreted the divination, I also studied boxing at the Dharma Academy and became somewhat proficient in it."

Wang Hongtao: …

"Seeking marriage."

The master nodded, then turned to the corresponding annotation page according to the signature.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Just when he found the notes and was about to copy them all from the book, Wang Hongtao suddenly thought: Only those who have experienced it have the right to speak, so don't be fooled by a greenhorn.

So I asked, "Master, have you ever had any emotional experience?"

The master was stunned, and immediately answered without hesitation: "A monk's six senses are pure, how can he get involved in emotions?"

"Master, you only need to answer yes or no. Monks don't tell lies."

The master struggled for a moment and nodded.

"Then try to recall the best times you had."

"I have entered the Buddhist monastery and cut off all worldly ties."

Wang Hongtao nodded in agreement: "Since you have cut off the mortal world, why should you be afraid of recollection again, right, Master?"

The master hesitated for a while and felt that what the donor said made some sense, and it was a good opportunity to test his concentration and practice.

So, as Wang Hongtao said, I recalled the good old days.

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth began to rise, forming an astonishing arc.

After seeing this, Wang Hongtao couldn't help but sigh that he had found the right person. This is a master with a story!

So he said again: "Only after experiencing it can you preach and understand the truth. Master, can you tell me about your experience so that I can understand it sooner."

The master opened his eyes, but the curve of his mouth could not be retracted. Thinking about the past, the expression on his face gradually became sad.

When Li Huaide finished worshipping other statues and came over, he found that the fortune-teller was crying loudly, but Wang Hongtao in front of him had a calm expression.

Li Huaide opened his eyes wide, not being able to figure out what was going on.

In fact, the so-called insight does not mean truly letting go, but because time dilutes everything.

Or you may put it aside temporarily due to the busyness of the moment, but once it is brought up, it will come back like a surging tide.

Chapter 89 Come to the door

Seeing the fortune teller's behavior, Li Huaide thought to himself that he must not bring this bastard Wang Hongtao to the nunnery to seek the truth.

It would be fine if Master Nima was a man and the two of them expressed their feelings, but how would it end if it was the nun?

Shouldn't he be beaten out with sticks?

After saying goodbye to the fortune teller, Li Huaide and Wang Hongtao walked around Miaofeng Mountain for half an hour.

The mountain is shaded by green trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming. The scenery is very beautiful. It is a good choice to put aside your worries and take a walk in the mountain.

After relaxing their mood, the two came to the parking lot and prepared to drive away.

At the door, I happened to meet the fortune interpreter from before. He was carrying a navy blue bag and seemed to be planning to go down the mountain as well.

Wang Hongtao casually greeted him: "Master, are you going down the mountain to purchase?"

The master put his hands together and said calmly: "I think what you said just now makes sense. The mortal world is the best experience, so I plan to return to secular life."

Wang Hongtao saw that the master's usually calm expression had fluctuated a few times, so he nodded in understanding: "Master, do you have enough money for the trip? Do you want to add some money for the incense?"

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have saved a lot of money for clothing over the years, which is enough."

"Where are you going, Master? Would you like me to give you a ride?"

The master shuddered when he heard this, then looked at Wang Hongtao's handsome appearance and his eloquence, and quickly refused: "I am planning to rekindle our relationship with my ex-girlfriend, so I dare not trouble you!"

Wang Hongtao felt very unhappy when he saw the master's vigilant eyes, and thought to himself, am I that kind of immoral person?

You should understand that you shouldn't ride on your friend's wife.

……

On the way back, Director Li probably didn't get enough rest last night. He fell asleep again not long after getting in the car. When he opened his eyes again, he was already back at the steel mill.

When he entered the office, Li Huaide found that he had forgotten to bring his briefcase in such a hurry. Thinking of the ferocious tigress at home, he instructed Wang Hongtao.

"Xiao Wang, please go to my house and bring the briefcase over for me. I need it."

"Director Li, aren't you going there yourself?"

"I didn't get enough rest last night, so I'll take a nap first. Your sister-in-law is at home, she knows where to put it."

So Wang Hongtao had to drive to Director Li's house.

It was a busy and fulfilling day.

Either there is nothing wrong, or if there is something wrong, they all happen at the same time. It's unique!

.....

Arrived at the door of Director Li’s house.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Did you leave your briefcase at home? I knew it all along but I didn't remind you!"

She Lijuan muttered to herself as she came to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Wang Hongtao standing outside. Her impatient expression instantly turned into noble.

"You are…."

Are you the one…? "

"That's right, sister-in-law. I'm Xiao Wang, Brother Li's driver. I'm here to pick up his briefcase."

She Lijuan looked at Wang Hongtao again, then said with a smile: "You are here to get your briefcase, right? Come in first."

...

At the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide shivered inexplicably. Why did his body feel weak?

It seems that I still need to exercise restraint in the future.

……

Half an hour later, Wang Hongtao finally came out with a briefcase and a small bag of wolfberries tucked under his elbow.

Director Li, why is it so easy to hide a briefcase? It took me so long to find it!
