Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 194 The Rural Girl in "Metamorphosis" 37

After showering at the bathroom, the group took a car back. They had dinner at Hualong Restaurant again. Since they were in Thailand, they definitely had to visit the temples, so they asked the owner of Hualong again.

The owner said there's a temple about ten miles south of the hotel, where the vegetarian food is quite delicious. There's also a commercial street nearby, so you can buy some souvenirs after visiting the temple.

Liu Yuxi herself has no religious beliefs, so she doesn't care much about these things. However, Grandma Liu and Grandma Ye are discussing them with great enthusiasm, and even Ye Qing seems to be very interested.

“Yuxi, I heard from them that many people in the industry get ‘no-trouble plaques’ from here, and there are also those, um, those who raise them, have you heard of them?” She mouthed the word “little devil” as she spoke.

"Don't believe in these things, they all bring bad karma. Even Buddhists emphasize cause and effect. If you follow the law of conservation of energy, you'll know that this isn't a good thing!"

If you reap a tenth of "good" results, you'll have to repay a tenth of "bad" results. Legitimate fortune telling and feng shui consultations are fine, but don't even think about these shady practices!

Don't buy random "no-worry" pendants, especially the ones with bone attached. Do you even know what they're made of? You'd be better off buying a jade pendant back home; it's mostly psychological!

Seeing that Ye Qing was really eager to try, Liu Yuxi quickly dissuaded her. Curiosity killed the cat. Cats have nine lives, do you think your life is as tough as a cat's?

"Ah! I was thinking of buying a few more things tomorrow, can't I?" Ye Qing was a little unwilling.

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." This applies to every situation. Let alone whether it's effective or not, even if it were, why would people protect a foreigner like you when they don't protect their own kind?

Don't tell me you spend a lot of money; if you do, people will only try to rip you off. Seriously, what are you thinking about all day long, you young girl?

If you buy something bad, it won't just affect you; it could seriously impact your whole family. Think it over!

"Is it really that serious? I see that female celebrity they're talking about, who's doing quite well, isn't she? You know, that one!" Ye Qing mouthed the name of a celebrity.

Liu Yuxi gestured for Ye Qing to go to the restroom with her, then turned off their microphones and said seriously to Ye Qing, "Have you interacted with her?" "No, we've just bumped into each other a few times at events." Seeing how serious Liu Yuxi was, Ye Qing was a little scared.

"Then you'd better stay away from her. Haven't you noticed that female celebrities who get close to her often suddenly have accidents, or their careers collapse, or they simply disappear from the entertainment industry?"

Ye Qing thought for a moment: "Damn, it seems that's true. It seems that all four of the sisters she marketed have run into trouble. And I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. It's only been about three years, right? Could it all be because of her?"

"What do you think? Regardless of whether it was her fault or not, if you were just watching from the sidelines, you'd think she was very lucky, while those other people were really unlucky, right?"

Ye Qing nodded. "So, stay away from her in the future. If it has nothing to do with her, then so be it. But if it does involve her, and you can still avoid her, do you think you'd want that kind of good luck?"

"No, no, that's too scary! I'd better behave myself!"

"Yes! Any normal person would be scared to see this. If it weren't for her, it would be fine. But if it were, she would definitely suffer a backlash later, and the consequences would be even more serious than those of her sisters."

We're already living a much better life than most people, so let's not think about these messy things.

"Okay, okay, you've made me not want to go tomorrow," Ye Qing complained.

"It's nothing. Just go and look at the architecture and eat vegetarian food. The temples here are quite beautiful. But don't buy any of the souvenirs. Remember to tell Grandma Ye later. These aren't like the jewelry in China. Just buy some herbal balm to take back with you."

"Okay, I'll talk to Grandma." Ye Qing was completely deflated.

The two returned to the hotel lobby, had dinner with everyone, and then strolled back to the hotel.

Back inside, Grandma Liu kept asking Liu Yuxi, "Yuxi, do you think these foreign monks can help with marriage?"

"What's wrong? Which old man have you taken a fancy to?"

Grandma Liu reached out and slapped Liu Yuxi on the back: "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat! I'm asking for you!"

"Why are you asking me something? I'm going to work in a research institute in the future. Forget about finding a partner, even if I do, do you think that person is someone a foreign monk can control?" Liu Yuxi rolled her eyes.

"That's true! I doubt this foreign monk can manage that far!"

"If you have any ideas, I'll accompany you back to China to worship the Old Man Under the Moon! There are so many gods in China, which one wouldn't be better than the foreign ones?"

"Alright, then we won't pray tomorrow. I was thinking, if there's someone who can help with marriage, I'll offer incense!" Grandma Liu said with a bit of regret. For older people, it's inappropriate to enter a temple and not burn incense.

"If that's not possible, then you can just light some incense for the person in charge of getting rich! We'll count it as one, no need for kowtowing, just a bow will do, and a stick of incense will be enough as a token!"

"Alright, I'll ask about the price of incense tomorrow. If it's too expensive, then forget it. We have enough money now, so it doesn't matter whether we worship the God of Wealth or not!" Well, this is a wise old lady.

"Listen to you, don't think about it anymore. Just wash up and go to bed early! We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Row."

The next day, everyone dressed in more formal attire, after all, they were going to a temple and should show the proper respect.

You see so many people in China going to Jiuhua Mountain to burn incense. Well, just search for videos yourself. There are always some kids who have no sense of reverence.

Well, if you don't believe me, then don't go. But since you've already gone, why can't you at least show some respect? What are you trying to achieve? Just to prove you're tough?

The group took a taxi to the temple. As soon as they got out of the car, Liu Yuxi was relieved that everyone had worn sunglasses, otherwise they were afraid of being blinded by the "golden light" everywhere!

The temple architecture here is unlike that in China, where the emphasis is on solemnity. Here, the focus is on opulence. You have to pay to enter the temple, to offer incense, to eat vegetarian food, and to use the meditation room.

After discussing it, the group decided to first visit the temple, have a vegetarian lunch, and then stroll around the nearby streets in the afternoon. As for burning incense and meditating, they decided to skip that.

While visiting the temple, Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Ma discussed which architectural styles were learned from China and which Bodhisattvas were from China. Liu Yuxi really wanted to tell the two grandfathers that Buddhism was entirely foreign, and that Taoism was the Chinese religion.

Look how terrifying this cultural invasion is. One generation influences another. "Foreign monks chant better sutras!" Such a blatant saying is right there, but because Buddhism has existed in China for so long, everyone has gotten used to it.
