Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 619: Holding a Ritual Service

At this moment, Wenren Pingting had just started to step forward, and the Abbot accompanied her, walking by her side. Wenren Pingting then said, "They are here to prepare ancestral tablets according to a decree from Prince Hanying."

"?" Abbot Shan Ci was taken aback and silently glanced at the two young people following at the end of the procession.

"You must be familiar with the Bai Residence as well," she continued.

Wenren Pingting went on, "They are descendants of the Bai Family."

This time, Abbot Shan Ci finally got the answer to the questions in his heart.

So it was them, no wonder they looked so familiar.

Recalling the past, the Abbot felt somewhat nostalgic, "Speaking of which, our temple and the Bai Family also share a deep connection. The Matriarch Bai is our Chief Incense Master."

After reminiscing for a moment, the Abbot finally understood the intention behind Wenren Pingting’s visit.

Beyond visiting the Dowager Consort, the main purpose must be to show support for them, ensuring that the temple provides conveniences.

The Abbot shook his head and smiled, "Princess Consort, rest assured, I will instruct the Reception Master to take good care of them."

"I appreciate your efforts, Abbot," said Wenren Pingting. Her tone remained calm, but one could sense her joyful mood at this time.

Fahua Temple was built halfway up a mountain, and there was a certain distance from the foot to the halfway mark.

It was also fortunate that Wenren Pingting’s guards, who trained in martial arts all year round, did not find it too difficult to carry her up.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were at the end of the group. As others climbed the mountain while listening to the Abbot recite Buddhist verses, the two of them surveyed the terrain, determined to thoroughly understand the entire mountain.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Fahua Temple.

This was an ancient temple, where each side of the gateway bore a phrase full of Zen wisdom.

After the Princess Consort spoke with the Abbot, although it’s unclear how the Abbot signaled to his subordinates, the novice monks’ attitude towards Bai Junjun and Li Wenli changed dramatically.

There was even one novice monk who specifically explained things to the pair, occasionally sharing the temple’s history and scenery with them.

Like now, upon seeing those 1,080 steps, he started to speak at length.

"These 1,080 steps have existed since the temple was first built. Over more than two thousand years, Fahua Temple has undergone many renovations, but these 1,080 steps have never been altered. Anyone who climbs these steps can be cleansed from worldly fatigue and purified of all filth," the novice monk explained with professional tour guide-like enthusiasm. Li Wenli and Bai Junjun were pleased to see this since gathering more information was always better than wandering aimlessly.

However, to their disappointment, although Fahua Temple was vast, the Congregation of Monks was large as well.

After everyone ascended, Wenren Pingting went straight to visit the consorts of the Former Emperor, while Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, having no time to wander, were led to the guest hall by the novice monk.

"Are the two of you here to establish ancestral tablets for the deceased?" asked the Reception Master, who must have been briefed in advance, as he got straight to the point.

Li Wenli, feigning expertise, replied, "Yes, what kind of services does your honorable temple offer?"

"We primarily have two kinds of services. The first is establishing ancestral tablets in the temple, and the second is to pray for the deceased, offering to the Celestial God, bringing salvation to lost souls and ghosts – both beneficial for the living and the departed," responded the Reception Master.

Li Wenli nodded in understanding, "May I know how long these services take to perform?"

"Establishing an ancestral tablet doesn’t take long. You need only provide the information of the deceased, and after seven days when the table is set, you return for worship. The prayers can be completed in about half a day. However, the effects are greatest when both are performed together," explained the Reception Master patiently.

The Reception Master patiently outlined the temple services of Fahua Temple.
