1173 Sincere wish for a child
Early in the morning, before five o ‘clock, the old lady led Chi Yi up Mount Qi with Chi Yunlin accompanying her and the chauffeur driving.
It took about two hours to drive from the neighboring city to Mount Qi. There was a temple on Mount Qi, and many people went there to pray to Buddha sincerely.
Chi Yi did not actually believe in such things, but the elderly were more willing to believe in them. Still, it was better to believe in certain things than not. As long as there was hope, she was willing to give it a try.
Along the way, the old lady told Chi Yi, ” in the area where we live, the daughter of the Lin family could not get a child no matter how hard she tried. Later on, she went to Mount Qi to invite the Buddha. It’s said that her aunt went to invite the Buddha on her behalf, but she got pregnant the moment she came back! And that daughter-in-law of the HU family, she got pregnant within two months of coming back. If you don’t believe it, she just happened to be pregnant! Those were all things that she couldn’t get pregnant with before! Don’t you think it’s amazing?”
The old lady’s words were truly magical, filling Chi Yi’s heart with some hope.
What if the Buddha was really that effective?
Chi Yunlin also began to explain to her, ” “When we reach the foot of Mount Qi later, you have to take off some of the metal objects and jewelry on you and leave them in a storage store below,”
“Why?” She could not understand.
“I’m afraid of offending the gods! There was a lot of knowledge in this! I’ll have to kneel all the way there. Mom, you’re not in good health, so don’t kneel. Yiyi and I will kneel.”
“That won’t do! Since you’re here, you should at least invite Buddha with sincerity.” The old lady insisted.
This was truly the first time Chi Yi had prayed to Buddha. She did not understand anything and only felt that everything was more exaggerated than she had imagined.
At seven o ‘clock, the car finally arrived at the foot of Mount Qi. After they stored the things, they began to piously pray to Buddha.
She knelt all the way and climbed up Mount Qi with great difficulty. The old lady’s body was weak, and climbing the mountain was already a challenge for her. Yet, she had to kneel all the way here, which made the old lady suffer.
“Grandma, you can’t take it anymore! I’ll do it myself.” Chi Yi’s heart ached for her grandmother’s health and tried to persuade her along the way, but the old lady refused to listen to her. it’s alright. I can hold on! Don’t worry, Yingluo.”
The two of them could not persuade the old lady, so they could only give up. The three of them carefully kneeled forward and bowed. After about an hour, they finally reached the top of the mountain. The old lady was already panting heavily and could not stand up.
Chi Yi hurriedly handed her grandmother some water and fanned her. She felt rather guilty towards her grandmother. She was already in her twenties, yet she still made her grandmother worry about her.
“Alright, I’m fine. Let’s go and pray to the Buddha first! After a while, there would be more people, and they would have to line up to even burn incense! Let’s go.”
The old lady grabbed Chi Yi’s little hand and, with Chi Yunlin’s help, headed to the temple where the praying Guanyin was.
The three of them sincerely prayed to Buddha, burned incense for praying for a child, and asked the Goddess of Mercy for tea leaves. Finally, they asked the abbot of the temple for a prayer stick.
The abbot took the Fortune stick from Chi Yi’s hands and looked at it carefully before saying to the old lady, ” Amitabha, old lady, congratulations. This is a very good stick.
When the old lady heard this, her face lit up and she hurriedly said, ” “I hope Lord Abbot can give me some pointers.”
