me and a divorced housewife

Chapter 823
I really regret that I promised Meng Tingyun to accompany her to worship some Buddha.

She told me that the temple was very close to where we lived. How could I know that it was in the outer suburbs, and the taxi cost was nearly [-].

This is not over yet, when we get there, we still have to climb the mountain.

The mountain soars into the sky, there are no cables, only artificially built stone steps, soaring up.

"Where is the temple?" I asked.

"It's up there, let's go." She said and walked forward.

I followed up.

After climbing for a while, I was so tired that I was out of breath, and asked anxiously, "Have you arrived yet?"

"It's coming soon," she said, "it'll be there in a while."

after an hour.

"Are you there yet?" I asked, sweating profusely.

"It's coming soon." She said, "It'll be here in a while, just hold on."

I fell to the ground limply, "You are so foolish, you said it was too fast just now, but after an hour, you still said it was too fast."

"It's really coming soon." She came over and said, "Hurry up and go."

"I can't climb anymore, you have to go on your own." I was out of breath, "Why don't you go up, I'll wait for you here."

"Please, with your physique, if you return to the school team, your school team's selection requirements for players are too low, right?" Meng Tingyun said, "Any cat or dog can enter."

"Please, don't stand and talk without your back hurting." I pointed to the backpack behind me and said, "You try carrying this bag? No, I said you know you have to climb a mountain, and you still carry such a heavy thing? It contains what?"

"Of course it's water." She said hastily.

"How heavy is the water?" I said. "What's your big kettle. I'll have to see."

"Okay, what to see." Meng Tingyun said, "Let's go, we'll be there in a while."

"I can't really walk," I said, "my legs are so weak."

"Look at how promising you are." She came over and sat next to me, pointing to the mountain and said, "Look, isn't it beautiful down there?"

I followed her pointing direction, and couldn't help being taken aback. I was only focused on climbing the mountain and complaining, and didn't pay attention to the scenery below the mountain. Now she suddenly said that, I couldn't help being stunned.

Jiangdao was originally the continuation of Binhai Flag Mountain. This mountain was originally on the island, and the mountains and the sea depended on each other. Standing on a high place, you can overlook it with beautiful mountains and rivers.On the sea level in the distance, a round of red sun rises slowly, dyeing most of the sea red.

"How is it?" Meng Tingyun said, "If you don't get up early, can you see such a wonderful scenery?"

"But tired." I said.

"If you want to see the scenery that others can't see, of course you have to make efforts that others can't see." Meng Tingyun said.

I froze for a moment, feeling that what she said was a bit like her father.

"Let's go, this time is really coming soon." She said and pulled me up.

I walked behind her and asked, "Did your father... give you any explanation?"

She turned around and asked, "What explanation?"

"Just...to tell you something special," I said ambiguously, "Look, he always drags us to meet all kinds of people recently."

"That's right," she said. "Any questions?"

"Of course the problem is no, I know he is training you as soon as possible so that you can take over, right?" I said.

"He didn't say that," Meng Tingyun said, "And as I said, I'm not interested in this aspect."

"That's not what I meant," I said. "The problem is, you don't seem to object."

She was taken aback, nodded, and said, "Yes, I didn't object and followed his arrangement. Do you think it's strange?"

"Not surprising," I said, "I just think there should be a process."

"There is no process." Meng Tingyun said, "I have already lost my mother, and he is my only family member. I don't want to be in such a stalemate with him anymore."

This statement surprised me for a moment. Recently, fathers and daughters have reconciled a lot.

"What's wrong?" she asked me, "You don't feel right?"

"Of course not, that's fine," I said.

Actually, what I want to ask is not these.

This time she didn't lie to me, the temple really appeared in front of me very quickly.At this time, we have basically climbed to the top of the mountain.

The vegetation here is very lush, and amidst the shade, a courtyard of temples suddenly appeared in front of us.

I don't know if it is the cloud or the smoke from the incense burning in the temple. In short, the temple looks shrouded in smoke and looks very mysterious.This group of monks really knew how to find a place, and set up camp in such a picturesque place, accompanied by beautiful scenery, the boring and tasteless practice was not so obvious.

I followed Meng Tingyun into the temple. An old monk who looked like an abbot in the temple seemed to know Meng Tingyun and said something to her. Meng Tingyun knelt down and worshiped Buddha devoutly.

I never believed in these things, so I stood outside and didn't go in.

I'm curious, how can a girl like Meng Tingyun be interested in these things, even if she's just playing with tickets, and she's so devout, it's really incomprehensible.But it's normal. Ordinary people are worrying about life and material things, and don't have the energy to think about spiritual and religious matters. This is probably why those rich people and celebrities believe in Buddhism.

After I came out, I thought I could go down the mountain, but she chatted with the old monk for a while.

I leaned over to hear what they were talking about, only to hear Meng Tingyun say, "Master, last time I saw you fell in love with stones, so this time I bring you a piece from my father's collection, I hope you like it."

"The benefactor is too polite." The master said.

I was taken aback, did she bring a stone?
"Yu Hao, bring your bag here." She greeted me.

Damn, no wonder it's so heavy, it turns out she put stones in it!
She took the bag over, and she turned out a big stone, handed it to the master, and said with a smile, "I don't really understand, I hope the master will appreciate it."

The master took it and played with it carefully, apparently he couldn't put it down.

"Meng Tingyun, aren't you going too far?" I said, "Let me carry this thing on my back to climb a mountain, no wonder you insist on bringing me with you."

Meng Tingyun laughed and said, "Going up the mountain to worship Buddha with heavy loads, plus you brought this stone for the master, the merits are even more immeasurable, besides, your body should be well exercised."

Only then did the master look up at me, seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said, "This benefactor, who has come from a long way, should pay homage to Buddha."

"I'm sorry master, I'm an atheist and I never believe in these things," I said.

"The benefactor is wrong. Everything is empty. He only talks about the accumulation and extinction of fate. Everything is illusory. All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata." The master said.

"I don't understand." I said.

I always suspect that these people deliberately say these incomprehensible words to show their profundity and make those believers admire them.

"The benefactor has been robbed recently." The master said.
