Chatting all the way, listening to her laughter all the way up.
The ninety-nine steps were not as long as expected, and we quickly reached the top of the mountain.
But what they didn't expect was that the abbot and abbot back then had passed away.
After the two of them offered incense and knelt down in the main hall, they went to the thousand-year-old wishing tree at the back of the yard.
The red ribbon tied to the tree had been blown to nowhere by the wind. Huo Yunchen finally found the red ribbon in the soil after searching for a long time.
What shocked him was that Bai Qingqing's name had been painted out and changed to Liu Yun.
It turned out that the woman had been secretly obstructing their relationship since that time, and secretly changed the name of the wishing ribbon.
Huo Yunchen frowned and held the red ribbon tightly, and angrily threw it into the incense burner and burned it.
When Bai Qingqing came over, he only saw the name with the ribbon still unburnt.
It's not hers, but Liu Yun's.
He already knew in his heart that Liu Yun must have done something about it.
Looking at the slowly burning red ribbon, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief in my heart.
For so long, all the hardships she and Huo Yunchen have experienced may be because this red ribbon, which carries blessings and good wishes, has been tampered with. Now that the red ribbon has burned to ashes, perhaps all the hardships from now on can follow this. All the red ribbons with the woman's name on them disappeared.
Huo Yunchen turned around and looked at her deeply, the corners of his lips raised slightly.
They held her hand tightly and said nothing to each other, but they could see relief from the past in each other's eyes.
The two of them wrote a new ribbon. This time, their names stayed together quietly, and no one would change them.
"Husband, hang it higher."
"Okay, I'll hang on the highest branch."
Bai Qingqing watched Huo Yunchen climb up the tree like a child, excitedly hanging the red ribbon symbolizing their bright future, and felt warm in his heart.
This kind of warmth is like a thirsty person drinking a glass of warm water. It slowly warms the whole body, and you can taste the slightest hint of sweetness when you taste it carefully.
In fact, he was always by her side, but her heart was entangled with too many things.
We walked around the temple and listened to the chanting in peace.
That kind of sound can really purify the soul and make people feel at peace. Since that incident, this is the first time that Bai Qingqing can feel the peace in his heart.
The same is true for Huo Yunchen.
He saw the dark clouds that had been entangled with Qing Qing gradually dissipate from her face, her face returned to brightness, and she felt inexplicably light in her heart.
When the two were about to leave, the new abbot of the temple came out and asked them to stay in the temple for one night, saying that this was specially explained by the old abbot.
Since the old host specifically confessed it, there must be the old host’s intention.
As soon as it came, it was settled, and the two of them stayed.
The new host put them into a room and said, "Two donors, this is the room specially arranged by the old host for you two. Please copy the scriptures inside carefully."
"Copy scriptures?" Huo Yunchen was very confused and felt a little scared when he looked at the thick scriptures on the table.
Bai Qingqing was full of curiosity and happily answered the new host.
"Want to copy the scriptures? Okay, don't worry, we will copy them carefully."
The new host said goodbye politely and had some vegetarian food delivered to him in the afternoon.
Bai Qingqing and Huo Yunchen both ordered and ate a little.
For Huo Yunchen, who loves only meat, eating vegetarian food is really difficult for him.
"Husband, the reason why the old host left such last words is because we will come back here even if he arrives early in the morning, so you should accompany me to eat fast, chant Buddha, and be devoted to good deeds, okay?"
Bai gently picked up a piece of mugwort cake and handed it to Huo Yunchen's mouth.
It seemed like a long time since she had acted coquettishly with herself like this.
As long as she is happy and likes her, he will be willing to fast for a year, let alone one day of fasting.
