Chapter 466: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (5)

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. Su Xiangran, dressed in plain clothes, set out on the road to Anyang Temple with her mother.

This ancient and solemn temple is located at the foot of the mountain. It is very popular and attracts many believers to come and worship and pray.

After entering the temple, according to custom, children only need to kowtow a few times and then go to wait outside the main hall.

However, Su Xiangran had another purpose in mind.

She held a small purse tightly in her hand and ran towards the depths of the temple with a determined look in her eyes.

Her target was very clear - the intelligent abbot who was "meditating and practicing" in the room in the backyard.

Why is Su Xiangran so familiar with this? It turns out that it’s all because of the power of money.

She found a young monk in advance and bribed him with money to lead her to her destination.

Not long after, they arrived at the door of Abbot Zhineng's meditation room.

Just as Su Xiangran arrived, a voice came from inside the house asking, "Who's outside?"

Su Xiangran responded without hesitation: "I am the second daughter of the Su family, and I am here to add some incense money."

Her clear, pleasant and childlike voice made the people in the room relax their guard.

After a moment of silence, the voice inside sounded again: "If you want to donate incense money, please go to the front and find the monk who is responsible for registration.

This place is not a place that outsiders can enter without permission, so you better leave quickly, little donor!"

Faced with the other party's rejection, Su Xiangran was not discouraged.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then said softly: "Master Abbot, I am not here today just to donate incense money.

In fact, I have an important matter to ask for, and I beg you to see me. I hope you will be merciful and allow me to see you.”

After saying that, Su Xiangran stood quietly outside the door waiting for a response.

It was unknown how much time had passed, it seemed like a long century, so long that Su Xiangran began to doubt whether this legendary intelligent abbot would receive her, when finally a slight sound of footsteps was heard from inside the door.

Then the tightly closed door slowly opened, but the person who appeared before her was not the big monk in her memory, but a young man with delicate eyebrows, pretty face and gentle expression.

The young man was slightly startled when he saw Su Xiangran standing outside the door, but he quickly recovered and said with a friendly smile: "Little sister, please come in! The Smart Master is waiting for you in the house now."

Hearing this, Su Xiangran nodded as if relieved. After all, she had already wasted too much precious time and could not afford to delay any longer. So after getting permission, she couldn't wait to walk towards the inner room.

However, because she forgot that she was now in the body of a child, and because she had just stood for a long time, her legs were a little numb, and as she stepped over the threshold, her toes accidentally touched the hard wood.

If it were any other time, it would be fine, but the situation is different now—Su Xiangran had her feet bound by force not long ago.

So even though it was just such a slight touch, it made her feel excruciating pain, and she even lost her balance, and was about to fall forward to the ground.

There was no way to avoid it, Su Xiangran could only close her eyes, hoping in her heart that she wouldn’t fall too badly.

Then she felt a hand on her waist, lifting her body up easily.

"Huh!" Su Xiangran opened her eyes and looked at the handsome young man who was so close to her. She was usually eloquent, but now she couldn't utter a word.

Instead, the young man touched her head and said, "Huluhuulumao, you won't be scared."

Su Xiangran: (⊙﹏⊙), she is only six years old physically, not mentally, but she is quite happy to be treated so gently by such a beautiful boy!

Seeing that the little girl in his arms didn't say anything, the boy didn't say anything either. Instead, he simply carried Su Xiangran into the inner room in a princess-like manner.

Being held in someone's arms, Su Xiangran finally met this "eminent monk" who was born as a "bandit leader".

I saw a middle-aged monk in a cassock appear before me. He had a kind face and wise eyes.

"Amitabha, what can I ask for, young donor?" Abbot Zhineng asked with his hands clasped together.

Su Xiangran curled her lips and thought to herself: This guy is pretending to be like that.

She thought so, but she really needed him to do her own things, so she pulled the boy's clothes, meaning: let him put her down.

The young man nodded, carried Su Xiangran directly to the chair opposite the Intelligent Master, and said softly: "Your feet are not convenient for walking, so just sit and talk! The Master will not blame you."

As the young man said this, he looked at the middle-aged monk meaningfully.

The middle-aged monk's hand holding the teacup froze for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal and asked Su Xiangran again: "Young donor, what is it that you want to ask for? I would like to hear the details."

Because Su Xiangran was forced to sit on a chair, she could only nod to the smart abbot as a sign of greeting.

Then she handed over the purse that she had been holding tightly in her hand and said, "Master, this is a jade pendant that I found by chance in a mysterious place. It is said that it has magical powers.

I would like to ask the master to help identify it and see if it is true. "
