Chapter 308: Entering the wrong temple and worshipping the wrong Buddha
The mountains and forests are shady, and the cicadas are singing endlessly.
The white van bumped along the old mountain road, and almost didn't get out of the night's meal.
"I said, master, this is not the way to Nanwu Temple, right?"
Looking at the increasingly desolate scene outside the window, Li Shuangshuang was the first to question.
"Yes, yes, how could it not be? Isn't it afraid of being discovered by the scenic spot, mountain paths, please understand...... Look, it's coming soon. ”
The thin man drove without looking back to explain.
Following the direction of his finger, an antique cornice peeked out from the trees in front of him, and the crowd stopped talking.
The car stopped in front of a dilapidated temple, the vermilion paint on the gate had been mottled and peeled, and the cracks of the stone slabs in front of the door were overgrown with weeds, which was very different from the legendary Nanmu Temple where incense was flourishing.
"Isn't that right, this is Nan Wu Temple?"
Wu Haoxuan and the others frowned and looked at each other.
If it weren't for a few big characters on the lintel that were almost unrecognizable, and the words 'Nan Mu Temple' were written, they would almost have thought that they had come to some abandoned temple.
That's right, the impression of this temple to everyone is that it is gloomy except that it is dilapidated, and people can clearly hear the echoing footsteps when walking in the courtyard.
If you are alone in this room in the dark, you can imagine that it will definitely be creepy.
"What kind of broken temple is this, change the sign of 'Lanruo Temple', you don't need a set, you can directly shoot and talk about Zhai. ”
Li Shuangshuang muttered and quietly grabbed Ye Qingwei's arm.
Don't look at her big grin at the moment, but the fear in her eyes has betrayed her.
"Hehe, beauty, you don't know, this is the back mountain gate of Nanwu Temple, and it is indeed not as fine as the front door. However, it would be nice to go inside a little more. ”
The thin man had a shy smile on his face, constantly leading the way in front.
Sure enough, through the two courtyard gates, a large hall appeared in front of him.
Although it is also very shabby, it looks clean and has obviously been cleaned.
In the incense burner in front of the main hall, a few incense sticks are sparsely inserted, and green smoke is rising.
"Amitabha, there are guests coming from afar, forgive the poor monks for not welcoming them from afar, sins and sins. ”
A middle-aged monk stepped out of the threshold, his eyelids lowered, bowed to everyone, and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.
"This is Master Jin Hui of Nanwu Temple, and his Buddhism is profound. ”
When the thin man introduced, he secretly exchanged glances with the middle-aged monk, and pointed to Shi Chen and the others, "These are tourists, who have come to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings." ”
"Oh, the donors have traveled a long way to this temple to worship the Buddha, such a good deed really touched the poor monks, I believe the Buddha will also see it, and will bless you with a long life. ”
While Monk Jin Hui was talking, he took out a brass bowl like a trick, held it in his hand, and looked around at the people, "Donors, since you have a fate here, the poor monk naturally wants to replace the Buddha to give a fate, please don't hesitate to give alms." ”
Everyone was stunned, how could anyone start asking for money as soon as they entered the temple gate?
"Great monk, you don't follow the rules, don't you? We haven't even seen the statue of the Buddha yet. ”
Li Shuangshuang said dissatisfied, Shi Chen sneered faintly, and there was a look of clarity in his eyes.
"Hehe, this female benefactor, you have misunderstood, if you want to see the Buddha, you must first be sincere. You can't even pass the level of karma, even if you enter the treasure hall, how can you see the Buddha?"
Jin Hui recited the Buddha's name again, and guided him step by step, "Besides, the poor monk is also for your good." All it takes is a little money to ward off calamity, so why don't you benefactors?"
"Okay, as you say, don't you just have a few incense money, whoever lacks this, take it. ”
Wu Haoxuan was a little impatient, so he casually took out a few hundred yuan from his wallet and threw them into the bowl, "These are enough, right?"
"The donors are really sincere, please inside. ”
Monk Jin Hui glanced at Wu Haoxuan's bulging wallet, immediately smiled, and led everyone into the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Inside, a few young monks sat crookedly, knocking on the wooden fish for a while.
Ye Qingwei bowed around, and everyone was just about to go out, but they were stopped again.
"Want money again?"
Wu Haoxuan looked at the copper-colored bowl in front of him unhappily and frowned.
"Hehe, it's the incense money just now. ”
Monk Jin Hui said with a smile.
"A few incense sticks, how much is it worth? The temple is so broken, it's not polite to put away the money. ”
This time, Wu Haoxuan didn't want to be wronged again, so he only gave a hundred yuan, and waved his big hand, "Let's go." ”
This kind of broken place, for a person like him who is used to being pampered, he doesn't want to stay for a moment.
"Wait. ”
Monk Jin Hui stretched out his hand and stopped everyone again.
"What else do you want to do?"
Wu Haoxuan looked at him angrily.
"The money for incense is calculated per capita, and everyone has to give it. Monk Jin Hui said.
Wu Haoxuan's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly, "Monk, are you opening a black shop, or are you wronged by us?"
"The donor laughed, since you burned those incense, of course you have to pay, this is a natural thing. ”
Monk Jin Hui clasped his hands together and said with a smile.
"Just your few broken incense sticks, the hundred yuan I gave is more than enough, I advise you not to go too far!"
Wu Haoxuan was not a good-tempered person, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
"That's it, how can there be such a strong buy and sell, you might as well grab it!"
The attendants also shouted.
"Why, don't you want to give it?"
Monk Jin Hui instantly put away his smile and shouted at the hall, "Someone is paying the bill!"
"Who! When it comes to our territory, who dares not to give money!"
The monks who were meditating inside just now rushed out one after another, all with unkind faces, how could they have the appearance of a monk.
Under the signal of Monk Jin Hui, these people quickly surrounded Shi Chen and the others.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Ye Qingwei pulled Li Shuangshuang and subconsciously leaned over to Shi Chen's side.
Wu Haoxuan glanced around and sneered, "It turned out to be a group of fake monks, no wonder they are drilling into the eyes of money." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you have entered the temple, and you have burned the incense, whether we are real monks or fake monks, this money must be paid!"
Monk Jin Hui saw that he was exposed, and he no longer concealed it, his expression was cold, and he said in an unquestionable tone.
"If you don't come to this set, we're not scared, so what can we do if we don't give it to you?"
Wu Haoxuan was not afraid.
He and his followers have all practiced martial arts, and this group of fake monks, at best, are pretended to be local hooligans and ruffians, and in the final analysis, they are just a group of ordinary people, and they are not in his eyes at all.
Monk Jin Hui sneered, "If you don't give it, then don't blame us for being polite." ”
"Well, I really want to know, how can you be polite. ”
Wu Haoxuan sneered and clenched his fists, and the attendants around him were also eager to try, as if they were about to make a move.
"Shi Chen, you're going to fight, why don't you go up to help?"
Li Shuangshuang whispered.
Shi Chen hugged his arms, shook his head and said, "No need, just this little person, they should be able to handle it." ”
