In the world, there are countless pious people, whether their piety is genuine or not. In front of them, there are quite a few people desperately squeezing forward, holding high incense sticks, all wishing to offer their devout spirit to the Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Qi Taiguo frowned deeply. He had never been to such a place before, let alone to offer incense. If it weren’t for Cheng Su wanting to come, he wouldn’t have thought to visit. Only after arriving did he see in person how fanatical people were and how deep their reverence for the gods was.
Cheng Su was also holding incense and moving forward. Since they’d come, it was impossible to persuade her to leave. Qi Taiguo had no choice but to open his arms protectively around her. The incense was all lit, the room was only so big, and with so many people bumping into each other, what if the incense ash fell on her face?
He was tall and broad, protecting Cheng Su so that she remained unscathed. As for him, several incense ashes fell onto the back of his hand, some still glowing with embers, quickly burning blisters.
But Qi Taiguo had crawled through gunfire; such incense ashes were nothing to him. Sometimes, he wouldn’t even blink.
Finally, Cheng Su offered her incense and then moved to the lottery sticks, drawing an excellent fortune.
Once they left the temple, she noticed the red blisters on Qi Taiguo’s hand and quickly asked how he got them. Upon learning they were burned by incense ashes, she felt a pang of guilt.
"It’s nothing, just child’s play, doesn’t hurt," Qi Taiguo said, unconcerned.
Cheng Su pursed her lips and blew on his blisters, saying, "Don’t break them, or it’ll hurt a lot. I’ll put some medicine on them when we get back." Then she dragged him to find the temple guide to interpret the fortune.
It was already noon when they finally left Ling Shan Temple, and Cheng Su’s face was full of joy and smiles.
Qi Taiguo held her hand, noticing her smiling face, he couldn’t help but smile too, asking, "So happy?"
