Chapter 440: Chapter 440

They lit candles together, burned sandalwood together, folded Joss Paper together, and burned Joss Paper together.

After respectfully offering incense, they moved between various Temples, worshipping Buddha by Buddha.

Pu Sangzhi was very devout.

Today, she came with a sincere heart, earnestly praying for her father to be safe and for her family to live a stable life.

In every small Buddha in the temple, she would put her hands together, bow three times devoutly, and for every large Buddha, she would kneel on the cushion, bow her head three times devoutly, close her eyes, and pray earnestly.

Actually, worshipping Buddha is quite a boring task.

Huo Feng followed beside Pu Sangzhi, almost imitating her every move...

However, Pu Sangzhi worshipped with devotion, having much to say in her heart; she would worship each Buddha for a long time.

But Huo Feng would just bow three times, mouthing the words: "Bless me and Pu Sangzhi to be together."

It took almost more than an hour before Pu Sangzhi was done with her prayers.

By then, Huo Feng felt as if he had been topped with a mushroom cap for an hour...

Finally, after Pu Sangzhi finished worshipping all deities in the temple, she took Huo Feng to find the temple priest, intending to draw a divine lot.

Seeking a divine lot!

This was absolutely the part Huo Feng was most looking forward to!

He had waited the entire hour just for this moment!

Seeking fate in marriage! Fate in marriage! Fate in marriage!

This had been on Huo Feng’s mind the whole morning!

One could undoubtedly say that his belief that supported him through this date was right here!

Huo Feng, wanting to draw a lot!

Of course, Pu Sangzhi also wanted to draw a lot. However, she sought peace, wishing for her father’s safety.

Coming here today, Pu Sangzhi had only one purpose, to seek peace for her father.

Since she and her mother really couldn’t help her father, they could only place their hopes in the divine, seeking a bit of tranquility.

But Huo Feng was unaware of Pu Sangzhi’s thoughts.

Huo Feng only knew that the reason he endured so many unpleasant emotions to come here was definitely to seek blessings with Pu Sangzhi!

Both of them took a cup of fortune sticks, knelt on the cushion before the Buddha, closed their eyes, and prayed earnestly.

Pu Sangzhi sought the Buddha’s indication for her father’s safety.

Huo Feng sought the Buddha’s indication for his fate with Pu Sangzhi.

Although their hearts were not the same, after some shaking, each received their respective fortunes.

Pu Sangzhi got a moderate-to-low lot.

And Huo Feng, as expected, got a top-tier lot!

When the two brought their lots to the temple priest for interpretation, the priest looked at both their fortunes and asked what they sought?

Pu Sangzhi replied, "Peace."

Huo Feng replied, "Marriage fate."

After they both spoke, Huo Feng suddenly frowned and glanced at her, "Why didn’t you seek marriage fate? Weren’t you here to seek that today?"

Pu Sangzhi straightforwardly responded, "I’m not seeking marriage fate. I’m praying for my dad’s peace. He hasn’t contacted us for a long time."

Huo Feng nodded slowly, a bit disappointed but still understanding.

He thought: This matter of fate, as long as he seeks it, it’s fine! Whatever Pu Sangzhi seeks doesn’t matter! Follow current novels on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

The temple priest exchanged their lots for written interpretations.

Only after receiving the written fortune did Pu Sangzhi realize she had drawn a moderate-to-low lot!

Fortune text: "Light-hearted fears bring disasters, today earnestly appeal to the heavens. Cold dew and bitter frost bring myriad hardships, wait till spring, do not wander."

Although unclear of its meaning, this text made Pu Sangzhi feel uneasy inside.

Meanwhile, the top-tier fortune Huo Feng received read: "People enter the clouds like wind into the river, emotions linger like rain-soaked lint on the ground."

Even though he didn’t understand it, his intuition told him that it was a good fortune!

Later, Huo Feng spent some money to take Pu Sangzhi to a temple sage for interpretation.

After the sage’s explanations, Pu Sangzhi felt somewhat relieved.

Because, the sage told her, "Everything will pass, it’s just a tribulation in life, once it’s over, all will be well. Perform more good deeds and accumulate virtue, and everything will gradually improve."

These words eased Pu Sangzhi’s mind.

Around noon, they stayed in the temple to eat a vegetarian meal, sorting out their emotions before preparing to descend the mountain.

Before they left the Temple, they came to a stall run by the temple.

The stall sold peace charms, Together Forever Locks, Buddha Beads, bracelets, and other various items.

All items were consecrated in front of Buddha, each said to have miraculous effects or divine powers.

Huo Feng led Pu Sangzhi to stop in front of the stall, enthusiastically picking out a red string bracelet finely crafted.

Huo Feng casually picked one up, put it on Pu Sangzhi’s hand to try, "Looks good, right? These beads match your white, chubby little hand perfectly!"

"You’re the chubby one!" Pu Sangzhi retorted.

Huo Feng asked the elderly lady running the stall, "Grandma, how much is this? Does it have any effects?"

The elderly woman replied in thick Rui’an dialect, "It ensures safety! xxx consecrated it in front of Buddha!"

Whatever Buddha it was, hearing it ensured safety, Huo Feng immediately bought it.

Moreover, he took an identical one for himself and quickly paid.

This stuff was quite expensive, two bracelets for 100 yuan, just because they were consecrated in front of Buddha...

But then, most people in Rui’an are superstitious.

Huo Feng had always been half-believing.

But since he had received good fortunes today, he decided to wholly believe!

After paying, he took the bracelets, and Huo Feng personally put one on Pu Sangzhi in front of the stall.

The red string was quite delicate and tight, so it was also somewhat difficult to wear. Huo Feng bent his head, busying himself attentively and meticulously.

Pu Sangzhi looked up, seeing his serious face, and warmth rose in her heart.

"Huo Feng..." she suddenly called him.

"Hmm?" Huo Feng responded.

"The fortune we sought today, our marriage fate, it was a top-level lot, right?" Pu Sangzhi asked.

Huo Feng nodded, continuing to mutter, "Why is this thing so difficult to wear?"

"Have I ever told you that I like you?" Pu Sangzhi slightly pursed her lips.

Huo Feng answered directly.

The very second after he answered, he stopped his movements!

At the same time, he also raised his head in astonishment, his eyes gleaming as they locked onto her...

His gaze was filled with anticipation, as if he was waiting for her to say the words ’I like you’...
