Chapter 2979

~8 min read 1,519 words

Because Ye Chen was not in Jin Ling, Ito Nanako had been studying martial arts wholeheartedly for days. Most of the time, she simply lived in the dormitory of Xiangxieli, and only occasionally returned to accompany her father.

Yesterday, Ito Yuhiko missed his daughter, so he had people prepare a rich Japanese-style banquet and called Ito Nanako back. The father and daughter ate a meal together.

The banquet is generally rich and cumbersome, and a meal takes two or three hours, which is common, so Ito Nanako did not rush back to Xiangxieli last night, but stayed at home for one night.

In order not to delay the morning practice, she got up as soon as the sky was bright, and after a simple wash, she prepared to drive to Xiangxieli.

When taking the elevator to the basement, passing through the ninth floor, the elevator stopped slowly, the car door opened, and a young woman of the same age as Ito Nanako stepped into the elevator.

Ito Nanako didn't care. The woman entered the elevator while talking on the phone, saying mysteriously: "Oh, I don't want to get up so early either, but I heard from a lay Buddhist inside Qixia Temple that the famous Master Jingqing was invited to come to Qixia Temple to lecture on the Dharma. He will arrive in an hour or two. It is said that he will take some time to help believers open light and bless them. The amulets opened and blessed by Master Jingqing are very effective. I plan to ask for one for my husband. He flies and runs around the world every year, so I ask for an amulet to protect him."

Another woman on the other end of the phone asked curiously: "Every temple can ask for amulets. What is unusual about the one blessed by that Master Jingqing?"

The woman said: "Master Jingqing's fame is very great. He is invited to lecture on Buddhism all over the world all year round. Every time he lectures, he will open light and bless magic weapons for some believers for free. Some time ago, he lectured on Buddhism at Mount Putuo, and the tickets for Mount Putuo were sold out for a week in a row. The magic weapons blessed by him are sold at a six-figure starting price in the believer circle."

As she spoke, the woman added: "Xinxin asked for an amulet opened and blessed by Master Jingqing for her husband at Mount Wutai last year. She encountered a chain car accident on the highway last year and was rear-ended by an overloaded large truck. Among the eight people in the three cars, only he survived. The person was fine, but the amulet was broken. Do you think this thing is quite effective?"

The woman said in surprise: "I only know that her husband encountered a car accident last year, and I didn't know there was such a thing."

At this time, the elevator had reached the underground garage. After the elevator door opened, the woman walked out while saying: "The master's visit to Jin Ling this time has not been made public for the time being. It is estimated that it will be announced to the outside world tonight. Once the news is announced, the pious believers within a few hundred kilometers are estimated to want to see the master. By then, it will be very difficult to queue up, so I plan to go early and wait. If you are interested, let's go together."

Ito Nanako walked out of the elevator behind the woman. Recently, she has been studying martial arts, and her hearing has also been sensitively improved, so she could hear the woman on the phone say excitedly: "Then I will prepare now, where shall we meet?"

The woman said: "You go out to the entrance of the community now, and I will pick you up there."

Hearing this, Ito Nanako couldn't help but feel moved.

Influenced by her mother before her death, she has always been a pious Buddhist believer.

When she was in Kyoto, she also often went to Kinkaku-ji to worship Buddha and offer sacrifices. Last time, for Ye Chen, she specifically asked for an amulet at Kinkaku-ji.

Now that she suddenly heard that a famous Chinese high monk was coming to Qixia Temple to lecture on the Dharma, and could also bless and open light amulets, the first thing she thought of was to ask for one for Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen's strength is already the strongest Nanako has ever seen, in her view, religion itself, that kind of theological or metaphysical protection, is another kind of soft power that transcends hard strength. In a sense, it is also indispensable.

This is like soldiers who have powerful weapons and equipment, but before going to the battlefield, they still pray for the protection of gods in the depths of their hearts.

So, Ito Nanako took two quick steps, caught up with the woman in front, and said with an apologetic face: "Sorry to bother you, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call, but I heard you talking about the amulet, so I want to ask you rashly, how can I ask Master Jingqing to open light and bless an amulet?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is simple, you go directly to the Dharma circulation office of Qixia Temple and say that you are invited to visit Master Jingqing. The master there will take you to the incense hall to wait. Not many people know this news, so if you go early, there should be a chance!"

Ito Nanako hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome." The woman smiled and said: "You also live here, we should be neighbors, right?"

"Yes." Ito Nanako nodded: "My home is on the 21st floor."

The woman smiled: "I live on the ninth floor. I bought it and moved in a few days ago. My husband is busy with business in other places all year round, so I basically live here alone. You can come to find me to play in the future."

After speaking, the other party didn't wait for Ito Nanako to reply, and said: "Let's not talk for now, I have to hurry to pick up a friend. Her home is in the opposite direction of Zijin Mountain, and it will be delayed a lot on the road. You hurry up and go first, the earlier the better."

Ito Nanako hurriedly thanked, watched the other party get into the car and drive away, and then she got into the car and drove to Qixia Temple.

The two cars left the basement of Tomson Yipin one after another, then one turned left and one turned right, and soon pulled the distance apart.

After driving for a few minutes, the woman in the front car picked up the phone and dialed out. After the call was connected, she said: "Sister Sun, Ito Nanako should have set off for Qixia Temple."

On the other side, after Sister Sun received the call, she said: "Okay, I know, she didn't suspect you, right?"

The woman replied: "Should not, and even if she suspects, it can stand scrutiny. I have already moved in for several days, not afraid of her checking."

Sister Sun smiled slightly: "Okay, you go to pick up Xiao Liu, and then come over normally. However, if it goes well, when you arrive, Ito Nanako should have already left. But do the whole set of acting, you come first."

"Okay, Sister Sun."

Hanging up the phone, Sister Sun immediately came to An Chengxi's side and said respectfully: "Madam, Miss Ito should be on the way. You bought a house downstairs in the Ito family as soon as you arrived in Jin Ling, which is really far-sighted."

An Chengxi smiled slightly: "Far-sighted can't be counted, it's just that I really like this girl, so I have the heart to take one more step."

Sister Sun asked tentatively: "Madam, Miss Ito and Miss Gu, which one do you like more?"

An Chengxi shook her head and smiled: "Sister Sun, you are embarrassing me. Nannan is the doll marriage I set for Chen'er. Since childhood, in my eyes, she is like my own daughter. The halo she has in my eyes is not possessed by any other girl. And for so many years, everyone thought Chen'er was dead, but Nannan and the entire Gu family still stick to the marriage contract. This is no longer what true feelings in adversity can describe. Plus, she has become more and more excellent over the years, so I naturally like her very much."

After speaking, An Chengxi couldn't help sighing and said faintly: "But having said that, for so many years, as a bystander, I watched Chen'er suffer, watched Chen'er suffer, and watched Chen'er walk to the top step by step. Today, if you ask me to objectively judge who is more suitable to walk with Chen'er, I will say without hesitation, not Xiao Churan, nor Gu Qiuyi, but Ito Nanako!"
