On the day of going to Wolong Temple, Li Shao and his wife got up before dawn.

On the carriage were the incense, candles, dry food and water that Shen Qing had prepared in advance.

When they were seeing them off, Shen An wanted to go with them. He would drive the carriage so that the two masters could sleep for a while in the carriage, but Li Shao refused.

He asked Shen An to look after the house, because the house still needed an adult man to look after it when he was not at home.

Shen An no longer mentioned wanting to follow, only saying that he would definitely look after the house and protect the two young masters.

Li Shao took Zhao Ye and set off. The carriage was laid with soft cushions. He originally wanted to let Ye Ge'er sleep in the carriage for a while and call him when they arrived at the destination.

But how could Zhao Ye sleep when he saw Li Shao sitting outside the carriage driving the car? He wrapped himself in his coat, moved closer to Li Shao, and insisted on staying with him.

"Brother Ye, be obedient. It's still dark and the weather is a bit cold. Be careful not to catch a cold. Go to the carriage and take a nap. I'll call you when we're almost there."

Zhao Ye shook her head, still leaning against Li Shao, grabbing his arm and acting like a spoiled child, "No, how can I watch you drive the car here and go in and sleep alone!"

"Besides, I'm not cold. This coat is very thick. I want to stay here with you."

Li Shao tried to persuade him several times, but Zhao Ye was determined not to go in and wanted to stay outside with him.

Li Shao felt a little regretful for not letting Shen An go with him. In fact, it was not that there was no adult man in the family.

The security in the area where they live is quite good. There are patrols every day and it is close to the market. How could it be dangerous to stay at home? He said that because he wanted to be alone with Ye Ge'er.

Now, Ye Ge'er insisted on sitting with him outside. If he had brought Shen An with him, he could have stayed in the carriage with Ye Ge'er.

There is nothing I can do now, I can only say: "Then come sit in my arms, I'll hold you, and you won't be cold."

Zhao Ye immediately smiled happily, stopped the carriage, sat in Li Shao's arms, and set off again.

Zhao Ye looked even smaller in Li Shao's arms. Her whole body was wrapped in Li Shao. Zhao Ye felt warmer than in the car.

The couple chatted and laughed along the way and didn't feel the journey was long.

The closer we got to Wolong Mountain, the more pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages we saw on the road. They were probably all going to Wolong Temple to burn incense.

There are also many stalls along the way, and passers-by can buy some hot tea or hot buns.

Li Shao also stopped the car and ate something hot with Zhao Ye before continuing on their way.

Once you reach the foot of the mountain, ordinary horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to go up the mountain. However, there are small vendors at the foot of the mountain who specialize in watching luggage and horse-drawn carriages. They are all from nearby villages and they would not do anything like stealing other people's things.

Li Shao gave some silver, picked up the bag of incense and candles, and left the carriage there.

It was almost 9 o'clock when they arrived here. There were already quite a few people at the foot of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, and on the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can vaguely see the vermilion walls and yellow-brown tile roof of the famous Wolong Temple, which is located on the top of the mountain.

Li Shao looked at the mountain in front of him and the temple on the top of the mountain, and roughly estimated that the mountain should be about seven or eight hundred meters high.

The road leading up the mountain is paved with smooth steps. It is worthy of being a royally certified temple that the mountain roads were built so well in ancient times.

According to the normal climbing speed of ordinary people, it should take from half an hour to an hour to reach the summit.

Zhao Ye beside him said excitedly: "Husband, the mountain view is so beautiful. Let's go up quickly. There are more and more people."

"Okay, let's go." After saying that, he picked up the things in one hand and walked up the mountain holding Zhao Ye's hand with the other.

As a result, Zhao Ye was so tired that sweat broke out on the tip of his nose after climbing for just a while. Looking at Li Shao beside him, it was as if he was walking on flat ground, and it was obvious that he was deliberately slowing down his pace to follow his.

Zhao Ye was a little anxious. He had to speed up, otherwise it would take a long time for the two of them to get up.

Li Shao, who was standing by, saw the sweat on the tip of Zhao Ye's nose and stopped, "Brother Ye, take this incense stick."

"Ah?!" Although he was puzzled, Zhao Ye also took it. His husband had been holding it for such a long time, it was only right for him to hold it for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took the incense and candles, Li Shao picked him up horizontally, and passers-by around were looking at them.

Zhao Ye was so anxious that his face turned red. He hurriedly said, "Husband, what are you doing? Put me down quickly. This is a sacred place for Buddhism. It's not good to do this. Besides, everyone is watching us."

Li Shao held him up and walked up without any concern, "What's the matter?! Aren't you tired? Your husband can carry you to the top of the mountain in no time."

"Why do you care about other people? Let them watch if they want to. Besides, Buddhism doesn't care about the importance of land. We haven't done anything wrong. Why does the Buddha care about our love as a legal couple?"

"Husband! What are you talking about? You are so outspoken." After saying that, she clasped her hands together and bowed in the direction of the temple on the mountain, muttering, "Buddha, please don't blame me. My husband didn't mean that."

Looking at his little appearance, Li Shao wanted to laugh especially, but was afraid of laughing out loud. Ye Ge'er got angry, so he hugged him tightly, exerted force with his feet, and quickly rushed up the mountain. The sudden speed increase made Zhao Ye unable to say anything, and he could only hug Li Shao's neck.

The journey was less than an hour, and Li Shao brought Zhao Ye up in five minutes. The moment his feet touched the ground, Zhao Ye's head was still dizzy.

Li Shao took the incense and candle from his hand and rubbed his head with his other hand, "Brother Ye, we are here, look."

Zhao Ye followed his gaze and indeed arrived. The temple in front of him was extremely majestic and towering. In the middle hung a dark plaque with three large golden characters written on it: Wolong Temple.

At this time, the temple gate was wide open, and people were coming and going to burn incense and worship Buddha, as well as monks in the temple, and the temple was crowded.

The air was filled with the strong smell of incense. Zhao Ye didn't bother to argue with Li Shao about what happened just now. He said, "Husband, let's go in and pay our respects."

"Okay, let's go." Li Shao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Ge'er didn't mention what happened just now. The two of them entered the temple and began to kneel down and worship in each hall.

But although it was said that there were two people worshipping Buddha, in fact, it was Zhao Ye who was worshipping alone.

Li Shao didn't believe this and wouldn't kneel down to worship them. He just stood by and helped Zhao Ye hold things.

When it came time to add incense money and put money into the merit box, he was responsible for giving the money generously. This was his way of worshiping Buddha.

Zhao Ye did not force him to kneel down with him. He knew that her husband did not believe in these things, but as long as he was willing to accompany him, he could do his husband's share of the worship.

Zhao Ye first prayed to the Buddha to bless her husband to pass the imperial examination, then prayed to the Buddha to bless her family with good health, peace and safety, and finally prayed that she and her husband could be together forever.
