The day passed like this, and when it was the second day of junior high school, they were going to go to Zhaoran Temple to offer incense.

This is the custom of Zaolin Village. There used to be an old temple in their village, but for unknown reasons, it gradually declined. Afterwards, when people prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha, they all went to Zhaoran Temple.

It is natural to have incense sticks during the Chinese New Year. For some reason, the second day of junior high school is their Murakami incense day. Except for people who have something to delay, people will postpone it, most of them go to the second year of junior high school.

He Anran didn't need to go back to her natal home. Zhang Rou's natal home was also in Zaolin Village, and they were all going to offer incense, so they went together in the second grade of junior high school.

***

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, He Anran woke up and felt a tingling pain in her legs, but they slept in the space last night, and the tingling pain was not as unbearable as yesterday. Afraid of waking Lin Qi up, he struggled slightly to get out of Lin Qi's arms, and the next moment he was out of space.

"Ouch." He yelled in a low voice, gritted his teeth and stomped on the kang twice, and gradually healed.

Thinking to himself, if we meet today, I have to ask Zhang Rou secretly. It can't be like this every night. It's okay if the legs are uncomfortable, and I move a few times at night, and I can't sleep well.

He shook his head worryingly. After getting dressed, he went to the kitchen to reheat the few dishes left over from yesterday, and boiled a pot of rice porridge. After Lin Qi got up, the two ate together, then went to the village entrance to find Lin Zhao and everyone from the Zhang family, and they went up the mountain together.

Zhaoran Temple was much more lively than when Lin Qi visited last time. Besides his village, people from other villages also came. The young monks in the temple received the pilgrims coming and going, and their foreheads were a little sweaty.

They lined up in the main hall and waited for a long time before receiving a stick of incense. After lighting the green lantern in front of the Buddha, they put it into the incense burner, and they knelt on the futon together.

After Lin Qi entered the hall, he frowned and stared at the majestic Buddha statue in front of him. This Buddha statue was similar to the ones he had seen before the end of the world, but he had always been ignorant of Buddhism and could not recognize it at all.

Lin Zhao beside him touched his hand, scolding in his eyes, how could anyone keep staring at the Buddha statue.

Only then did Lin Qi come back to his senses. After bowing down three times with a few people, he got up and added a few coins to the merit box. After leaving the hall, he saw Qizhi again.

"Benefactor Lin, please stay safe." Qizhi said with a smile on his face, looking at Lin Qi.

Several people around were a little surprised when they saw Qizhi. After all, he is a famous eminent monk nearby, and he is rarely seen in Zhaoran Temple. Seeing him greet Lin Qi again, he looked at the two in surprise, unexpectedly they knew each other.

Lin Qi had long thought that he might be able to see him today, so he just raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine. Seeing that Master is in good spirits, I think you're having a good time these days, right?"

The few people in the company frowned slightly, always feeling that his tone was a bit strange.

"It's really good." Qizhi laughed lightly.
