บท 196: Chapter 196: The Hermit Does Not Meet

Shen Yue and his group stepped over the tall threshold, seen the open courtyard carpeted with blue bricks, lotus leaves fluttering in the lotus pots in the corners, as if attempting to cleanse the worldly hustle and bustle.

In the yard, the candlestick and bronze censer exuded sacredness with tendrils of incense smoke drifting towards the looming Buddha temple.

With the door wide open, the central statue featured a Buddha sitting atop a Golden Dragon King, no doubt symbolizing the Buddha's meeting with the Golden Dragon King.

The temple was quiet and serene, satisfying Jin Xin with its tranquillity. He privately commended the setting as cleverer than Director Liu of the Qingshan Mental Hospital, presenting a stark contrast between the two worlds.

Devotees knelt and worshipped the Buddha and the Golden Dragon King. Unexpectedly, Cai Shuzhen also knelt and kowtowed a few times. She remained ever hopeful for a miracle, despite having little faith in Buddha's miracles.
