Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 575 Humans Are Hypocritical

After handing the lady her business card, Lilly reached the peak of the mountain within half an hour

The Temple of light stood before het, adorned with fresh paint, shining brightly. Next to the temple’s entrance was a table, upon which various sizes of incense sticks were placed Behind the table sat a man dressed in a yellow robe, serving as the caretaker.

Lilly felt a slight surprise upon visiting the temple for the first time.

Is this what a temple looks like?

At that moment, a young man who appeared to be a college student approached and asked, “How much do these cost?”

The man in the monk’s robe responded, “Are you seeking blessings for your family?”

The young man nodded.

The caretaker explained, “This is the Prayer Incense, priced at 299 dollars. We also have the Incense stick for sincerity priced at 999 dollars and the Filial Incense for 1799 dollars. It’s important to pray with utmost sincerity for the well-being of your family!”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on the young man’s face as he replied, “I’m just a student, and I don’t have that much money…”

The caretaker glanced at him and casually handed him the 299-dollar incense stick, saying, “Then take this one!”

The young man grew even more embarrassed and asked, “Don’t you have a cheaper option?”

This time, the caretaker paused in taking out the incense and looked to the side, saying. “Over there, three sticks for ten dollars. Help yourself.”

The young man quickly grabbed three incense sticks, scanned the QR code, made the payment, and left, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Lilly frowned and whispered to Blake, “Daddy, this doesn’t seem like a genuine temple.”

Buddhism, as well as other belief systems like Confucianism and Taoism, possessed deep heritage and wisdom. But the initial impression Lilly got from the Temple of Light before her did not seem to reflect

Lilly had initially intended to burn some incense as a sign of respect since they had arrived.

However, when Lilly wanted to pay her respects, she felt like the other party treated her as a fool.

Blake suggested, “Let’s go inside and take a look.”

Lilly nodded and lost all interest in purchasing the incense.

Upon entering the temple, they saw five Buddha statues and thirty-three more statues, with five main halls, one pavilion, six sections, and ten subsidiary halls. The temple was truly splendid, with newly cast golden statues, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere. However, it seemed more focused on wealth than
