Chapter 991: It is different from other novels

The closest to Su Hua, and the most famous Buddha worship holy place is Putuo Mountain, which is located in a small island among the 1,390 islands in the Zhoushan Islands. It is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is known as the "Sea and Sky Buddha Kingdom" and the "Sanhai Holy Land".

Early that morning, Meng Huo accompanied Li Qin to Putuo Mountain. Following them were Chen Jie and two girls, as well as more than a dozen black-clad bodyguards.

"The bodyguards are too silly, let's forget it." When leaving the Meng family, Meng Huo wanted to refuse the bodyguards' followers, but the old lady insisted on doing so, and in the end he could not refuse and brought these bodyguards over.

They only ate some steamed buns on the way. It was not until 8 o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Putuo Mountain. However, after arriving at this famous mountain, Meng Huo understood why the old lady insisted on asking bodyguards to follow them so much - because there were too many people.

Just as I landed on the pier, I could see dense figures of people stretching out to the mountain like ants.

"It is worthy of being a Buddhist holy land, with a crowd of people..." Meng Huo was stunned. It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning. When did these people come? Could it be that many people were waiting here in the middle of the night, waiting for dawn to worship Buddha?

"No wonder, there will be a tide of worshiping Buddha every New Year." Alice was not surprised at all and said calmly: "This is the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is even more popular. We must be mentally prepared to squeeze in for a day here."

In legend, Putuo Mountain is the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva educates. There are many famous temples on this mountain, and the landscape is dozens. However, even if you don’t browse the scenic spots, Buddha worshipers will not miss any temples. Looking at the crowd in front of you, Alice felt that she could not complete the task in half a day.

"Young master, we can arrange shortcuts." At this time, a bodyguard next to Meng Huo suddenly said.

Meng Huo turned his head in surprise: "Is that OK?"

"No problem, the lady has already told me that if necessary, we can notify the management agency here." The bodyguard nodded: "Ordinary artists and celebrities will also arrange shortcuts. Even if you don't use your name, Miss Chen Jie can enjoy this treatment."

"Then..." Meng Huo was about to agree, but Li Qin interrupted.

"No!" The mother glared at Meng Huo: "Worshiping Buddha requires sincerity, we do not take shortcuts."

Meng Huo's face suddenly collapsed, and he didn't want to squeeze buns here at all - but he had to listen to Li Qin's words. Seeing his mother walking towards the mountain by herself, Meng Huo had to follow the crowd and walk up the mountain with the flow of people.

Their group is quite eye-catching. Chen Jie and Meng Huo have made some dressings. What is even more surprising is that Alice, with black hair, although she has outstanding figure, she will not be reminded of the female president of Phoenix Company.

"How did you do it?"

Chen Jie and Li Qin walked in front, Meng Huo and Alice were walking behind the two, and there were bodyguards around him. He looked at Alice's hair curiously, knowing that it was not dyeing hair, because Alice had never left the Meng family since yesterday to today, and she had never heard of any barber shop in the Meng family.

"Are you talking about this?" Alice brushed her black hair and smiled, "This is a wig."

"Wig?" Meng Huo was even more surprised. He looked at Alice's head and didn't feel that it was too big. Since this black hair was a wig, where was her original long blonde hair?

"You cut your hair?"

"No?" Alice turned her head and looked at him and smiled, "You have never seen me with short hair, right? Let me show you tonight, maybe you will like it more or maybe."

Meng Huo suddenly felt a little regretful. Unexpectedly, Alice actually cut her hair, but in fact he always favored her beautiful long golden hair. When he heard that she had cut her short hair, he felt a little disappointed.

Alice giggled: "Your expression is too obvious."

"Don't worry, I didn't cut my hair." She continued, pointing to the underside of the black hair: "My hair is hidden inside!"

Meng Huo was a little suspicious: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Alice nodded. Although her appearance didn't seem to have changed much, she did hide her hair. In fact, this is not something that is difficult to do. Many actors have this kind of dressing skills. Monks in TV series usually don't really shave their heads, but the audience can't see it.

Even if you have hair, you can dress up perfectly as a monk, but wearing a wig to hide your identity is simply - the drag skills now have become very mature.

"Aunt Qin, where is the first one we are going?" At this time, Shen Jie in front asked Li Qin.

"I'll take a look..."

This was Li Qin's first time, but she made sufficient preparations, not only brought maps and sightseeing manuals, but also brought some things that looked like notes. Meng Huo saw her open a note and couldn't help but walk over and look at it. He found that the route of visit was described in a very simple way, and the primary school students would not go wrong after reading it.

"Is this Teacher Hua Meng's notes?" Meng Huo remembered this handwriting.

"Well, I heard that after we came to Suhua for the New Year, she introduced me to worship Buddha." Li Qin explained that Hua Meng had visited Putuo Mountain during the carnival to worship her children, and it is said that the ting was effective.

Of course, Meng Huo did not believe that this kind of worship of Buddha is of use. He did not believe in Buddhism. As a time traveler and rebirth, he has certain respect for Buddhas and gods. But these so-called famous mountains and holy places are now profitable institutions. Is it really useful for tourists to spend money to worship Buddha?

He remained suspicious of this, thinking that worshiping Buddha was just a self-hypnosis of people.

"Let's go to Puji Temple first."

Li Qin had found the target and took Shen Jie toward it.

Puji Zen Temple is also called Qian Temple. It is located in the south of Baihua Mountain and under Lingjiu Peak. It is the main temple dedicated to Guanyin. There are 357 rooms in the temple, including the Great Yuantong Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Sutra Tower, etc. The Great Yuantong Hall is the main hall of the entire temple, known as the "Living Hall", which enshrines the 8.8-meter-high Guanyin.

Meng Huo and his group bought tickets at the entrance of the temple, then lined up and walked in. The process of worshiping Buddha here was a bit different from what he imagined. Meng Huo's impression of worshiping Buddha should be kowtowing to the Buddha statue, drawing lots, expressing his wishes, etc. - but here, there is no need to pray, just report the family name.

Li Qin reported to the Meng family, and Shen Jie also reported to her family. When it was Alice's turn, she refused.

"I won't worship you anymore, I'd better go to other places early!" Alice said. This was the first temple, but it was already past ten o'clock in the morning after Shen Jie's process.

Li Qin was a little curious: "Don't you give me a greeting at your home?"

"I don't believe in this very much." Alice shook her head: "It's better to begging for yourself than asking others. Our family has always been so safe and secure."

Meng Huo was startled by her answer. He turned to look at Li Qin, thinking she would be angry, but he didn't expect that after hearing Alice's words, Li Qin seemed particularly tolerant: "Okay, I have my own opinion, I won't worship you if I don't worship you."

She didn't make things difficult for Alice. After living in a big city for several years, Li Qin's concept has changed a lot. In addition, she is not a Buddhist, so she thinks that Alice's personality is good. But in this way, Li Qin feels that holding Alice is suffering from her - since they don't want to worship Buddha, why do they want her to follow her?

After leaving Puji Zen Temple, Li Qin said to Meng Huo: "Forget it, let's do it, you and Alice go back first, just let Shen Jie and I be here."

Meng Huo was stunned: "Is that OK?"

"Anyway, you're bored, are you?" Li Qin smiled. She could see through what Meng Huo was thinking at a glance: "Just paying a Buddha family here. I'll help you ask for a visa with your grandma, you don't have to wait for me."

Meng Huo looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie nodded: "I also want to ask my parents for signing, and I will ensure Aunt Qin's safety."

With the promise of this girl who might be more powerful than a tiger, Meng Huo naturally felt relieved. He left the bodyguards for the two, then walked down the mountain with Alice and returned to Suhua City in advance.

"Are we going back to the Meng family directly?" Alice asked.

"No, I want to go to a big bookstore to check it out." Meng Huo shook his head. He had nothing to do when he returned to the Meng family. It would be better to go to the bookstore to check it out, where new books were released.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Phoenix Company did not conduct any major activities, but two adapted novels related to Meng Huo were published by Longteng Company and were officially released in bookstores in major cities the day before New Year's Eve. Meng Huo has not read the two books yet.

"And I just happened to find some paper materials." Meng Huo added again. His paper encountered a bottleneck and could just go to the bookstore to buy some materials.

"Speaking of this, you are writing the paper!" Alice remembered Meng Huo's holiday activities. He temporarily put his work and comics aside, but he still took the time to write the paper every night. Now he has completed one. It can be seen that Meng Huo wants to complete all the papers as soon as possible and be liberated from his studies.

The nearest big bookstore is less than ten minutes away from the two of them. This is a comprehensive bookstore, with its full name called "Baiya Bookstore". It looks like a commercial square on the outside.

"..." Alice, who had just got off the car, was stunned at the screen on the wall outside the 'plaza'. Meng Huo took a few steps and found that she had not followed her, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking..." Alice came to her senses and said to Meng Huo: "Even if you are on vacation, you won't let the world be quiet!"

On the wall outside Baiya Bookstore, the most popular book advertisements are flashing on the large screen composed of countless small screens. Book cover images of different colors and styles are rolling on the screen, giving people a gorgeous feeling.

However, these advertisements have one thing in common, that is, the original name in the upper left corner of the cover - He Xi.

"I thought you just published two books." Alice smiled bitterly.

"I only published two copies." Meng Huo nodded: "Shana with the Burning Eyes" and "claannad."

"But your "clannad" is not a book at all, okay?" Alice pointed to the screen and said, "One, two, three... There are more than a dozen covers of "clannad". This is a work, but not a novel. Each character's branch is published separately, and the heroines have one cover, and the result is more than a dozen books!

More than a dozen books were released together. With such a big deal, would Meng Huo still want other writers to survive?

"This is not my decision." Meng Huo sighed. He didn't want to do so much at first. However, after discussion, Longteng Company felt that it would be better to publish it separately than to put all the branches together - Meng Huo had no choice but to agree.

"I've picked up a bargain and still acted good at it. Read this advertisement... These books you must be very popular..." Alice grabbed Meng Huo and walked towards the bookstore: "Let's go in and take a look."

However, the scene in the bookstore is even more amazing. Advertisements for "Clannad" can be seen everywhere on the aisles and escalators. Many pedestrians who passed by Alice and also held image flags of different characters in "Clannad".

"I'm asking, what is this? Where did it come from?" Alice stopped a girl and asked.

"The souvenir of "clannad" is there." The girl smiled and pointed at the direction, saying: "It's still during the event. As long as you buy Teacher He Xi's novels, you will give you a corresponding flag."

She took out a few novels from her bag and said, "I bought three different ones, so they are three flags."

Alice thanked her, and it turned out that this was a bookstore doing activities. From the advertisements outside and the activities inside the bookstore, she was already 100% sure that Meng Huo's novels must be very popular and extraordinary.

She accelerated her pace and found the place where the novel was being released - it was the Central Book City of Baiya Book City. When the two arrived, hundreds of people were already gathering in line to wait for the payment.

Without exception, these people are not holding "Clannad" and "Shanna with the Scarlet Eyes", and there are only a handful of other books.

"What did you do?" Alice asked Meng Huo.

Meng Huo didn't understand, so: "What."

"..." Alice didn't know how to answer, but she felt that it was wrong. The novel had been on sale for several days, and the atmosphere in the bookstore was still so strong. This was not like the popularity that ordinary novels should have - it also far exceeded the previous predictions of Phoenix Company for He Xi's novels.

"There must be something wrong with these novels."

Alice felt itchy, but instead of continuing to ask Meng Huo, she decided to solve the puzzle herself.

Soon she found the most conspicuous novel in the bookstore. The novel lined up in a row and looked very beautiful. Alice picked up the branch novel "Clannad" titled "Everyday Happiness". The heroine of this book is Kotomi Ichinose, and "Everyday Happiness" refers to her name.

After turning a few pages, Alice immediately found what she wanted—
