Chapter 472 The Gu Family's Well-Behaved And Filial Apprentice

In the south market of Chang'an City, there is a small dilapidated temple with three big characters "Yuelao Temple" engraved on the temple gate.

Yuelao temples are spread all over the cities of the four major continents. After all, the lifelong events of men and women are the most important in any place.

Yuelao is in charge of marriage in the world. In order to get a good marriage, single men and women will go to temples in various places to pray for blessings and offer incense every now and then.

The Yuelao Temple in Chang'an City is also one of them.

Every year around the Qixi Festival, there are the most tourists here.

But in other seasons, the incense is not so strong.

Especially now, after a whole cold winter, Yuelao Temple has not been cleaned for many days, which makes it look a bit dilapidated.

At this time in the temple, only a few pilgrims were worshiping.

Most of them are young boys and girls who have just sprouted, come to this "460" to pray to God and Buddha, and make a good marriage for themselves.

There are also some parents who also come here to ask for a lottery for their children and grandchildren.

"Pray for the blessing of Yue Lao, so that the little girl can successfully tie the knot with Mr. Zhang next door......

"Respectful Lord Yue, I beg Yue Lao to grant my son a marriage..."

"The tribute is here, I want to take another concubine, and I hope that the old man will be fulfilled..."

In Yuelao Temple, more than a dozen pilgrims are kneeling in front of the stone statue, respectfully burning incense and worshiping, and the sound of chanting is endless.

However, in the originally neat prayer sound, there was suddenly an abrupt sound of gnawing.

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

They heard it clearly, it was clearly the sound of teeth biting on melons and fruits just now.

"Hey, where is my tribute? Who ate my tribute!"

A man suddenly discovered something and yelled out.

After being reminded by him, the others immediately noticed that some fruits were missing from the tribute table.

"Who is so unqualified to steal the tribute?"

"It must be in the back, go and catch him and hand him over to the government!"

Everyone else was also filled with righteous indignation.

The tribute is a small matter, but if they are blamed by Yuelao, their luck will be ruined.

"Ahem... what do you want?"

At this time, an old voice came from the stone statue.

The hall fell silent again.

Everyone looked up in shock.

Immediately, I saw that the stone statue of Yuelao at the head of the temple had opened its eyes and was looking at these people benevolently!

"Ah... yes, it's old!"

"Old Moon has appeared!"

"Master Yuelao, I beg you to fulfill a marriage with the eldest daughter of the Wang clan..."

"Get out of the way, I'll come first, please give me a wife..."

"The pilgrim begged Yuelao to give him a lottery and tell him where Mr. Ruyi is..."

Several pilgrims shouted excitedly, hurriedly knelt down to worship, and expressed their requests one after another.

After everyone finished speaking one by one, the stone statue of Yuelao supported his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "You appeal, my generation... the old man has already learned, and he will relieve you of the peach blossom suffering in the future... But you must know that although marriage is bound, you must follow the will of God, and you can't force it... The way changes with the times, follow the trend, and you can't just sit back and enjoy the success in marriage. Raise your eyebrows, a good marriage for a hundred years, you need to cherish each other. ...."

"Thank you Yuelao for fulfillment!"

"Thank you, Yuelao! Thank you, Yuelao!"

Several pilgrims were even more excited and thanked each other again and again.

"There is no need to be too polite, you should leave quickly, remember to come to the temple to worship often in the future, and when the fate is fulfilled, you must also come to pay your vows!"

"yes!"

"sure."

Everyone fulfilled their wishes, and after worshiping again, they left contentedly.

"call!"

In the open space behind the stone statue, Xiaoyue appeared, poked her head out, and glanced at the empty temple [then she was relieved.

Putting an apple into her mouth and holding it, Xiaoyue retracted behind the stone statue, looked at the large number of red thin lines made of mysterious light in front of her, shook her head, and continued to work.

"Little Moon?"

Just as Xiaoyue was pulling the thread seriously, a voice sounded from above her head, which made her tremble with fright, and the fruit in her mouth rolled down.

"Master so-and-so? It's you!"

Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief until she saw that Mu You was behind her, hurriedly picked up the fruit, and blew the dust.

Mu You looked at the things in her hand with a strange expression.

"It's not that there is no food at home, why did you come here to steal the tribute?"

"Master, this is different. The tributes in the temple all have vows. As long as I fulfill the wishes of the pilgrims, I can enjoy these vows..."

Xiaoyue pouted, and then handed the wiped fruit to Mu You: "Master, do you want to eat?"

"I'll forget it..."

Mu You waved his hand. Compared with what he earns from his daily creations, this little willingness is not even a drop in the bucket.

Shaking his head, Mu You looked up along the stone statue.

"But these wishes seem to be sent to the sky..."

As a deity, Mu You can also see the power of wishes.

This part of the wish power originally flowed to Xiaoyue, but she seemed to only take in a small part, and the rest was locked up in the sky.

"For your grandpa?"

"certainly."

Xiaoyue nodded: "My grandfather is alone in the sky, if there is no incense money, he won't even be able to afford food."

"Then why did you take away your grandfather's marriage book?"

Mu You spread his hands, he had already thought about this question.

"Leave the book in the sky, if he comes to pull the marriage line by himself, can't he enjoy the incense at any time?"

"this....…."

Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, she whispered: "Actually, my grandpa is already old, his eyes are dim, and his brain is not working well."

"oh?"

"It's true, some time ago he just made a foolish move, and he drew a lot of 3.7 red lines for others, causing the wives and children of those families to be separated, and my grandfather was severely punished for this..."

Xiaoyue sighed, shook her head and said: "I know that grandpa can no longer match others, so he wants to take over his job, but grandpa refuses to do so, always saying that I am still young. I lost my marriage book and escaped to the lower realm...Master, why are you looking at me like this?"

As Xiaoyue spoke, she noticed Mu You's weird gaze looking at her.

Mu You shook his head: "It's nothing... just a little surprised that 'a naughty brat who ran away from home' suddenly turned into 'a well-behaved and filial granddaughter of the Gu family'."

"Master...So the disciple was just a brat in your eyes?"

Xiaoyue looked at Mu You with her mouth puffed up, and suddenly she didn't want to talk to him anymore, she snorted, turned around and continued to work on her work.
