Continuous sounds rang out in Henry's ears.
Henry opened his eyes and saw the female tour guide standing in front of him, looking at him angrily.
"Open your eyes. Do you hear me?"
The tour guide hollered again.
Henry rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Sylvia beside him. Sylvia also opened her eyes at this time.
"Let me ask you, who allowed you to sleep?!"
The tour guide asked with an angry face.
Sylvia shook her head lightly and pulled herself together. Confused, she asked, "Can't we sleep on the bus?"
"No, you can't!"
The tour guide replied loudly, "You got on this bus, which means you are on my territory. You're not allowed to sleep here, understand?"
"From now on, when I talk, if anyone sleeps, I will stop the bus. We will wait until that person wakes up and then continue going!"
After that, the tour guide swung her sleeves and went to sit at the front of the bus. Then she said, "In five minutes, we will arrive at the first destination, Yellow Pavilion Temple. We will stay here for an hour. Those who need to burn incense and those who want to worship Buddha, need to hurry up."
Soon, the bus stopped.
It was January now and Western Chinese Province was not a popular tourist attraction. In this season, there were not many people. Compared with the sea of people in other tourist attractions, it could be said that there were few people here.
All the middle-aged people got out of the bus and went into the temple.
Although Sylvia grew up in Yinzhou, to tell the truth, she really hadn't travelled around a lot. The last time it was Henry who took her to Sea Lake, and it was her first time travelling around there.
After getting off the bus, Sylvia calmed down and went out to walk around. She went into the temple with Henry, bought some incenses, burned them, and prayed.
After walking around the temple for more than half an hour, the scented sticks in the temple gave off a subtle smell, which could unconsciously ease people's mood.
The Yellow Pavilion Temple was not big. After half an hour, Henry and Sylvia went through the whole temple. The last place they came to was called the Golden Pavilion.
The so- called Golden Pavilion was a gold shop in Yellow Pavilion Temple. It was not any famous brand, but they were still selling gold there.
"Sir, madam, everything here has been blessed by a senior monk. It's safe to buy. Pick one for your lover."
As soon as Henry and Sylvia walked to the door of the Golden Pavilion, they were pulled in.
Henry smiled and shook his head. "No, thank you."
Henry was very clear about his understanding of himself. The Buddha emphasized that one should put down the butcher's knife, but Henry's butcher's knife could not be put down. The knife was bound to accompany him for a lifetime. In Henry's current situation, it was difficult to guarantee his safety with the things that the eminent monk had blessed.
Even if the Angel and Devil existed in this world, no one could save Henry from the deep hole full of his sins.
Sylvia walked around the Golden Pavilion with great interest. She did look at quite a few items, but none of them caught her eye.
It was almost an hour, so the two of them walked out of the temple and were ready to get back to the bus.
As soon as they arrived at the bus, the two saw the female tour guide standing at the entrance of the bus.
Just as the two were about to get on the car, the tour guide stopped them.
The female tour guide looked them up and down and then asked, "Did you buy something inside?"
