Chapter 356 Worshiping Buddha
It's really strange. Since this perverted brother complex shows no signs of repentance, how come she has such a good relationship with Hu Mengdie?

Xie Jiangqing had reminded Hu Mengdie more than once to pay attention to Li Xiuyu, but she didn't take it seriously. Before that, Xie Jiangqing thought Li Xiuyu had grown up and matured because of her disguise at school. She knew she would get worse...

Still the same question, didn't Hu Mengdie like Li Zhuangsheng? Why was she so close to Li Xiuyu?

Why did she target me like that? If she hadn't targeted me, I might have... Li Zhuangsheng was definitely interested in me!
Xie Jiangqing was full of doubts, wondering what kind of magic potion Hu Mengdie had given Li Xiuyu to make Li Xiuyu, who was in the late stage of brother complex, go easy on her. But Hu Mengdie no longer had the memory of the past, so even if she asked, she probably wouldn't be able to answer.

But I’m really curious!

Yao Xingyu glared at Li Zhuangsheng, while Li Zhuangsheng showed an innocent look. When I gave Lin Yuehua the gift, I and your best friend weren't even dating yet, even... Alas.

"It's okay, my husband is just respecting teachers!" Zhu Zhixue's face twitched slightly, and then she smiled and took Li Zhuangsheng's arm, "Right, husband!"

"Hmm...hmm!"

"Wow, aren't you ashamed? You even called your husband!" Yao Xingyu glared at Li Zhuangsheng, then teased with a smile, and then glared at Li Zhuangsheng again.

Li Zhuangsheng was amazed at how Yao Xingyu changed his expression three times in one second, but at this moment he only felt a little inexplicably embarrassed.

This was the first time Zhu Zhixue called him that. He knew that Zhu Zhixue was asserting her sovereignty, but he was just too embarrassed to accept it. Before this, only Hu Mengdie would call him that, and Hu Mengdie had already called him that.

Can one person be the "husband" of two people? He glanced at Hu Mengdie subconsciously, feeling guilty.

Fortunately, the Hu Mengdie at this moment is just the Hu Mengdie of the past, otherwise he would be even more at a loss.

A few people walked across the Zhuangyuan Bridge and climbed up the steps. What they saw was a Buddhist temple. Looking up, they saw the words "Dacheng Hall" written on it.

“Ahem!” Li Zhuangsheng coughed, trying to ease the undercurrent in the team. “By the way, please take a look at this temple and see if there is anything different!”

Everyone looked up at where Li Zhuangsheng was pointing.

"I can't get in!" said Li Xiuyu.

The entrance to the main hall is blocked by three tables, and tourists cannot enter. However, there is a huge merit box placed in the most conspicuous place in the middle.

"Look at this sign on the Dacheng Hall!" Li Zhuangsheng pointed, "It is said that the words on this plaque were written by Emperor Kangxi himself!"

"Is this true? It's so powerful?" Several girls showed some surprise in their eyes. They probably didn't expect that such a remote small county would be related to an emperor.

At this point, Li Zhuangsheng became slightly proud: "That's right, let me tell you..."

Don't you think that I was good at local chronicles before, and I read a lot of county chronicles when I was slacking off! What a pity! I had planned to bring Village Chief Chu to the First Mountain the next day and explain the history of my hometown to her, but she had to go back the next day for something urgent.

Why are you in such a hurry? There’s always a time for blind dates!

Li Zhuangsheng secretly felt it was a pity that he had written down the history and legends of several scenic spots in the county a few days in advance, but still failed to publicize them.

"Then this Buddhist temple should be very effective!" Yi Yunshui's eyes lit up and he interrupted Li Zhuangsheng.

“Buddhism is not really…” Before Li Zhuangsheng finished his words, Yi Yunshui had already walked up quickly, stood outside the door, looked at the Buddha statue inside, and bowed devoutly.

Seeing this, the others also stepped forward.

Li Xiuyu was the first to throw twenty yuan into the donation box, then put his hands together and made a serious wish. Zhu Zhixue was sharp-eyed and saw that Li Xiuyu had thrown twenty yuan, so she felt around and took out thirty yuan from her pocket, then also put her hands together.

It’s just that the two of them seemed to be making a wish, but it was more like they were competing in using their powers.

Yao Xingyu stood beside Zhu Zhixue, lacking interest. Xie Jiangqing just bowed randomly. Neither of them invested any money.

To Li Zhuangsheng's surprise, Lin Yuehua reluctantly took out two coins from her pocket, threw them into the merit box, and made a serious wish.

He remembered that Lin Yuehua didn't really believe in this stuff, even though her family had an eight-diagram mirror, Jesus Christ, and a statue of Guanyin, and the old lady burned incense every day. But Lin Yuehua personally believed that God rewards hard work and knowledge can change destiny.

"Why don't you go?" Hu Mengdie tied her hair and stood beside Li Zhuangsheng.

"Oh, I don't believe in this kind of stuff. If this were a Taoist temple, I might go in and worship." Li Zhuangsheng smiled softly.

He has always had a frivolous attitude towards religion. When he was hanging out with Hu Mengdie before, he couldn't help showing off whenever he saw a temple. He kept saying bad things about Buddhism and its dark history, and even picked out some MLM rhetoric in the Buddhist scriptures and criticized it.

Hu Mengdie couldn't help asking him to stop talking several times, at least not in other people's temples, but Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said: Buddhist temples often say that it is fair and aboveboard, so it doesn't matter if they don't bow to me. I haven't done anything bad, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva are broad-minded. Even if I scold them, they won't care about me. Hu Mengdie was speechless.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Zhuangsheng has a favorable impression of Taoism.

"Do you believe in Taoism?" Hu Mengdie asked again.

"I don't believe in any religion. Taoism is a third-rate religion. It doesn't even have a complete system. It's even beaten by Buddhism in its home country. It has a good reputation in recent years, but it's just good marketing, and it's our own religion... It's just that religion is a daily necessity nowadays, although it's useless. Since the market is huge, I definitely hope that Taoism can stand out and not let foreign religions like Christianity and Buddhism take up all the market share." Li Zhuangsheng said, waving his fist, "We must support domestic products!"

Hu Mengdie couldn't help but laugh: "I see, then I won't worship you anymore!"

Smile, it's pretty good.

Li Zhuangsheng turned his face away slightly. At this moment, looking at her any longer would be considered as cheating. As Hu Mengdie laughed, he also felt more relaxed.

Before this, every time Hu Mengdie looked at Li Zhuangsheng, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if saying: Give me back my virginity!

This gave Li Zhuangsheng a headache.

"No, this is just my personal opinion. I don't like to impose my personal opinions on others. You should say goodbye." Li Zhuangsheng said.

"I didn't really believe in it, but I also want to support domestic products!" Hu Mengdie smiled and then clenched her fist lightly.

Li Zhuangsheng looked slightly stunned, and his mind was briefly in a trance. It seemed that they had had a similar conversation when they were in love.
