Hearing that his mother was going to Cihang Temple to look for a divine messenger who could cure all diseases, the well-informed wealthy businessman named Qin was very worried:

"Mom, this sounds like a charlatan! Don't be fooled!"

Look at his mother again, with her hair full of pearls and jade, and her clothes covered in gold and jade. She looks like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Madam Qin endured the toothache and said incoherently but confidently:

"I, your mother, have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. I have seen all kinds of tricks, but I still could be fooled by a charlatan!"

"Don't worry, even if you can relieve my toothache, I will only give you a few taels of silver at most, nothing else!"

Mr. Qin still felt uneasy, so he turned to his wife, Mrs. Qin, and said:

"You go too, and keep an eye on mom."

Mrs. Qin patted her chest and assured:

"Master, don't worry. I'm here and will never let mother be deceived!"

Only then did Mr. Qin feel at ease to let his old mother go out.

The Qin family's house and Cihang Temple are both located in the east of the city. When the Qin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived, it was not yet lunchtime.

The two usually go to big temples like Bailong Temple to burn incense. Compared with the magnificent and splendid professional large temples, the unconventional temples like Qianjingci Temple seem very simple.

Therefore, upon seeing this ordinary Taoist temple gate, Madam Qin curled her lips in disdain and whispered to Madam Qin:

"I don't know when the Cihang Temple appeared. I've never heard of it before. This temple is so shabby and it doesn't look like there are any great masters."

They have never heard of any great hermit like the Sweeping Monk. They just think that people tend to move to higher places, and great people should all be in large or famous temples or Taoist temples.

If the abbot of Cihang Temple was really that powerful, how could Cihang Temple be unknown?

"Mom, we have to be more careful later and don't get fooled."

Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement.

The two men stepped forward and explained their purpose to Kun Dao who was guarding the gate.

"It's cold and windy outside, please wait inside the hall."

Kun Dao's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not try to please the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just because they were dressed in jewels and jade. Instead, this made people look up to them.

Of course, this was specially trained by Huiyun and would naturally not bring shame to Cihang Temple.

The two stood in the front hall and found that there was not even a statue of the deity. It was completely empty, and they became even more skeptical about the background of the Cihang Temple.

Soon, a very beautiful receptionist came over and bowed to the two of them politely before speaking slowly:

"Just now I heard from the doorman that two believers came to the temple to seek treatment. I wonder which believer introduced you two?"

The Qin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both stunned.

"Do you need someone to introduce you?"

The beautiful receptionist, Huiyun, nodded slowly:

"That's right. We have a rule in Cihang Temple. Anyone who asks the abbot to treat an illness must be introduced by a familiar and devout believer."

"What if there is no...?"

They just heard from a servant woman that an old man in a village in the east of the city had suffered from cold and damp legs for many years and was easily cured by the temple master. It is said that the temple master was enlightened by the real person Cihang and has great supernatural powers, which can instantly cure all diseases and injuries. How could they know the devout believers of Cihang Temple?

Of course, at this moment, there were no devout believers in Cihang Temple who could introduce them to each other.

Huiyun's tone was gentle, but her words were ruthless:

"Then I can only say sorry. If your condition is urgent, please go back and seek help from others."

The two never expected to encounter such a situation. Although they were wearing gold and silver and looked rich, the Cihang Temple was not interested at all. When they heard that no one introduced them, they were directly rejected.

People are like this. If they get opportunities easily, they will not cherish them.

After being rejected, the Qin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt that the Cihang Temple must have real ability to dare to be so arrogant, and they became more determined to give the temple master a try.
