Chapter 198 Plum Blossoms, Snowflakes
Upon landing, Shen Yuyu led the two to another car and drove towards Huanxuan Temple.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, seeing the crowds, Lin Zhihao exclaimed, "Wow! So many dark heads!"
Lin Zhihao: "Wow, even though we can't get up there, so many people are still coming."
He Manman: "Of course, I've heard that praying at the foot of the mountain is quite effective."
After weaving through the crowd, we found the Yunjin Distance for today. The person who had arranged it waved the banner in his hand as soon as he saw them.
Lin Zhihao: "Mom, this mountain looks quite high. I overheard some people talking and they said it takes more than two hours to climb it without stopping. Why don't you wait for us at the foot of the mountain, and Manman and I will be right back?"
"No way!" Shen Yuyu refused outright.
He Manman: "But it's so high, it'll be hard to climb up."
Shen Yuyu patted the backs of their hands reassuringly, "Mom is fine. I'm not that old. It's just a mountain, how can I not take it down? Don't worry, I just want to spend more time with you."
Shen Yuyu's voice inexplicably choked up.
Shen Yuyu loved her daughter dearly, so the two of them couldn't stop her anymore.
Lin Zhihao took Shen Yuyu's hand and said, "Let's go, Mom, let's go hiking."
"it is good."
After receiving their name tags, the three of them, accompanied by bodyguards, began the process of sealing the roof.
The mountain was very high, and during the climb, Lin Zhihao and the others encountered many people who had come late to queue up and had obtained the qualification to enter the temple.
Shen Yuyu: "Phew~ It's quite tiring."
"Mom, we're holding your hand."
Lin Zhihao and He Manman, one on each side, linked arms with Shen Yuyu, and the three of them walked side by side toward the top.
As they got closer to the summit, Lin Zhihao's heart pounded like thunder.
When their backs were soaked with sweat, the group finally reached the top of the mountain, where they could clearly see the general layout of the temple.
"Whoa, I got it!" Although her clothes were soaked with sweat, Lin Zhihao was still very happy with the sense of accomplishment from successfully reaching the top.
"Go down."
"it is good!"
The group then quickly headed down towards the temple.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Lin Zhihao and He Manman saw the God of Wealth Temple. The two exchanged a knowing glance, and before Shen Yuyu could react, they had already run over, slid down smoothly, and kowtowed vigorously.
The other tourists around were startled by the two's actions.
Shen Yuyu: ?
"Money, money, money from all directions!" The two men kowtowed as they spoke.
"Just keep bowing." Shen Yuyu bought each of them an incense stick and put some money into the donation box.
"Thank you, Mom." The two girls took the incense and thanked her in unison with smiles.
Lin Zhihao: "God of Wealth, I ask for nothing but wealth and honor, not even a trace of true affection."
He Manman: "God of Wealth, I have a favor to ask of you. I just want to get rich, even a small fortune would be enough for me."
Lin Zhihao & He Manman: "Please, sir!"
Shen Yuyu:······
After kneeling before the God of Wealth, Shen Yuyu led the two to the backyard.
As they approached the archway in the backyard, a young monk came to lead the three of them.
The young monk said, "Madam, this way. The abbot has been waiting for a long time."
"Thank you," Shen Yuyu said, pressing her palms together in return.
Lin Zhihao and He Manman followed behind, imitating her.
Upon arriving at the meditation room in the backyard, one can smell the faint scent of sandalwood even before entering. The courtyard is filled with plum blossoms, and the smoke from the incense burns in the air, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
"I heard that people are usually not allowed to enter the backyard. If the backyard were open, Huanxuan Temple would probably become even more popular. It's so beautiful." He Manman sighed as she looked at the scenery that was so different just by a door.
"Wow, amazing! A must-visit spot for ancient costume photos." Lin Zhihao was also stunned by the scenery before her. The architecture and landscape made her feel like she had traveled back to ancient times.
"Alright, I'll go in now. You two can wander around here for a bit." After giving Lin Zhihao and Lin Zhihao instructions, Shen Yuyu went inside alone.
"Good mother."
Shen Yuyu entered the abbot's room alone.
Lin Zhihao and He Manman flared their nostrils and sniffed the plum blossoms intensely, "Mmm~ So fragrant!"
"Young benefactors, please follow me."
The young monk led Lin Zhihao and the other person to a side room, where tea and vegetarian food had already been prepared.
“You two young benefactors have had a long and tiring climb. You may rest here for a while.”
"Thank you."
The young monk closed the door and left. Lin Zhihao and He Manman took off their coats and went to bed together.
"Wow, this must be a traditional heated brick bed from Northeast China. It's so warm on my bottom."
"correct."
Lin Zhihao lay sprawled on the tatami mat, saying, "It's so warm."
"Mmm~ It's so delicious, Sister Lin, you should eat it. It tastes this good even without meat."
He Manman had already picked up her chopsticks and started eating. After climbing the mountain for two hours, it would be a lie to say she wasn't hungry.
The vegetarian meal was devoured by the two of them.
"Hiccup~"
He Manman let out a satisfied burp.
He Manman: "It's been quite a while, Mom and the host should have finished talking by now."
Lin Zhihao: "Let's go, let's go take a look."
After putting on my coat, all I could see was a vast expanse of white snow.
"Wow?" Lin Zhihao reached out and caught the snowflakes.
Before the two of them noticed, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, landing one after another on the plum blossom tree, dressing it in a white coat.
"What a nice view."
How can I describe the scene before me?
White plum blossoms danced gracefully in the sky, while pink plum blossoms swayed gently on the trees.
Perhaps only by borrowing a line from Wu Cheng's poem, "Who in the heavens plays the flute, scattering jade flowers across the world," can one truly describe the breathtaking scene before us.
"Knowing, knowing, it's long."
Just as the two were immersed in the scenery before them, Shen Yuyu came over.
"Mother."
"Hmm, take these two and carry them with you." Shen Yuyu gave Lin Zhihao and He Manman each a jade pendant.
"Oh, oh, oh." Lin Zhihao put the jade pendant into her pocket.
"Wear it around your neck." Shen Yuyu took the jade pendant from Lin Zhihao's hand, carefully pulled out the string, and hung it around Lin Zhihao's neck.
He Manman, who was originally going to put in her pocket, saw that Lin Zhihao was wearing it around her neck, so she put it around her neck as well.
"Remember that. The host said you have to wear them all the time, don't take them off casually, understand?"
"Okay, Mom."
The roads were slippery due to the snow, and apart from those who had arrived earlier than Lin Zhihao and his group and had already gone down the mountain, the people who followed them up the mountain stayed at the temple.
The young monks in the temple arranged accommodations for the tourists, but Lin Zhihao and his group were specially allowed to stay in a side room in the backyard where the abbot lived.
Before leaving home, Lin Zhihao, a woman destined to become a top agent, took her camera with her.
He Manman and Shen Yuyu served as her models, and Lin Zhihao framed them in the plum blossom forest for a series of photos.
The entertainment industry changes very quickly. He Manman no longer dreams of becoming a superstar; she just wants to be a third or fourth-tier artist.
"Absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing."
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful! I want to compare it with the heavens!"
"Hey, hey, hey, this is the pose, don't move, don't move. It looks amazing."
"Wow, she's already a mother? That's amazing, her figure is incredible."
"Oh my god, whose friend is this? And whose mother is this? They're so beautiful."
...
Under Lin Zhihao's barrage of compliments, Shen Yuyu looked confident and beamed with joy.
While taking beautiful photos, the three of them also took a lot of funny ones. They chose to take photos at a distance from the residence, and although there was some laughter during the process, it did not affect anyone.
