Chapter 228: Xiangzi Temple
The cold wind blew off the last remaining leaves on the trees.
The sky was overcast with black clouds, the birds had long since disappeared, the temperature was the lowest of the year, and the first snow was about to fall.
However, the cold and bad weather did not cool people's enthusiasm. It's Sunday, and people who have been working for a week are taking to the streets to enjoy this rare festival. Since the reform and opening up, the tremendous changes in society have made these active young people unable to hold back their commotion, and they have taken to the streets to see new things.
In Fengquan District, Xiangzi Street, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, is even more lively today, because a temple fair is being held here today.
Xiangzi Street, originated from a Xiangzi temple at the end of this street, today's temple fair, is the annual Xiangzi temple fair in Qinggang.
Xiangzi, one of the legendary Eight Immortals, Han Xiangzi!
This Xiangzi temple was built in the Song Dynasty and later in the Yuan Dynasty, and was destroyed in the war during the invasion of the Mongol iron cavalry. Later, the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, this person was extremely trustworthy in the later period, and was bent on seeking mysteries, regardless of the government, and then in the autumn of 1560 AD, he appointed Yan Song, who was then the first auxiliary minister of the cabinet, to 100,000 taels of silver, repaired the Xiangzi Temple of a very large scale, and let Yan Song wait for him to pay homage.
Since then, the Xiangzi Temple in Qinggang echoes the Xiangzi Temple in the ancient city of Xi'an!
Later, Xiangzi Temple experienced storms and wars, peasant uprisings at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qing troops entered the customs, civil ** lords fought chaotically, and Japanese invaders...... Xiangzi Temple has also been damaged many times, but the history has changed, but Xiangzi Temple has not broken the inheritance and incense.
After the reform and opening up, with the support of the previous secretary of the Qinggang Municipal Party Committee, the relevant departments funded the restoration of the Xiangzi Temple, under the auspices of the head of the sect, the incense of the Xiangzi Temple is becoming more and more prosperous, becoming a famous landmark in Qinggang, attracting many tourists to visit, incense and make wishes every year.
Today is the annual Xiangzi temple fair, which attracts a large number of tourists and believers as usual.
However, a large number of young people come here to visit the temple fair, not because they have a devout belief in Taoism, but today in Xiangzi Street, there will be many merchants who set up stalls here for big promotions!
So, these young talents flock here, hoping to find a few good and affordable fashionable clothes, shoes, or small appliances and the like.
When Chen Donghui came to Xiangzi Temple alone, the worship ceremony had ended, and various folk skills were being performed, attracting a large number of spectators.
Chen Donghui has no interest in these lively occasions, he came to Xiangzi Temple today, just to put on a stick of incense, and to vent his doubts with Han Xiangzi, one of the Eight Immortals, hoping to get an oracle.
Since he was reborn, he has been haunted by the two questions of why he was reborn and who he was in his previous life, and he has no choice but to do it, which is one of his heart problems.
He couldn't find a scientific explanation for this matter, so he had to come to God for divination.
Of course, he had no hope of getting the oracle at all. Although he couldn't understand this, he was still an atheist.
Xiangzi Temple is famous, there are still a lot of people in the hall who offer incense, when Chen Donghui was waiting in line, he saw a familiar face in the crowd, Yu Man, she was also waiting in line for incense.
Since he had a relationship with Yu Man on Chunshui Street that day, Chen Donghui was deeply impressed by this noble and cold woman with a delicate and refined face, and later intersected with her or her brother several times, and after knowing that she was the eldest lady of Zhongxin Group, he became more interested in her.
Looking at each other, Yu Man also saw Chen Donghui, but she didn't have any impression of Chen Donghui, seeing that Chen Donghui couldn't take his eyes off her, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking that he was a frivolous rascal, he frowned, and turned his face.
Chen Donghui didn't care, and just wanted to go over to talk, but there was a commotion in the crowd in the distance.
Then, a Zhike Taoist shouted: "Don't do anything in the pure place of Taoism!"
"Dao Chief, see clearly, they provoked me first! A few thieves dared to steal from Young Master Ben, I think you are tired of it!" a man immediately shouted.
Hearing this, Yu Man squeezed into the crowd, and Chen Donghui also squeezed through the crowd and followed.
The crowd dispersed, and in the middle of the clearing, there were two young men in cotton jackets holding their stomachs and wailing, one of them with a face covered in blood, and next to them stood a young man in a yellow-green military coat, holding an open folding dagger in his hand, pointing to a tall and handsome young man wearing a black woolen suit and shiny leather shoes.
This is Zheng Songyuan, who brought Yu Man to visit the temple fair!
Yu Man wanted to incense just now, but there were too many people in front of him who needed to queue up, while Yu Man was waiting, Zheng Songyuan was bored and walked around, but he didn't expect his noble dress to attract the attention of several thieves, followed him, and cut his trouser pocket with a blade!
It's just that the pants pocket is not a wallet, but a pack of Chinese cigarettes, the thief just took the cigarette in his hand, and was still in a daze, Zheng Songyuan had already reacted, without saying a word, first smashed a straight fist on the thief's face, and kicked him over!
Seeing this, the other two accomplices of the thief immediately surrounded them!
Zheng Songyuan grew up in the military region since he was a child, and at the request of his father, he has been training with the soldiers, and he can come to a few sets of sanda fighting, and his physical fitness is very good.
Seeing this, the other thief didn't dare to step forward, took out a dagger, and pointed at Zheng Songyuan with a fierce look. It happened that a knowledgeable person passed by and persuaded them to untie them.
Seeing Yu Man coming over, and his face was not very good-looking, Zheng Songyuan grinned and said, "It's okay, a few little thieves, it's not enough for me to clean up!"
Zhike Taoist also said: "Okay, don't make trouble here, or I'll call the police." ”
Zheng Songyuan was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Zhike Taoist, stepped forward, glared at the Zhike Taoist and said, "Hey, Daoist, are you not good at braining? Didn't you see that they wanted to steal my things just now? You call the police and arrest them all!"
Zhike Daoren was very disgusted with these thieves, and he didn't have a good impression of this impolite and fierce young relatives, so he ignored them anymore, shook his head, read something that others didn't understand, and walked away.
"Hey!What do you mean!?" Zheng Songyuan was furious!
Yu Man's expression was even more ugly, and without saying a word, he turned around and squeezed away from the crowd and left.
Seeing Yu Man leaving, Zheng Songyuan knew that Yu Man was born, so he didn't dare to scold anymore, and hurriedly chased after him.
The thief with the dagger squeezed his eyes at the two accomplices lying on the ground, and also chased after Zheng Songyuan. The two thieves lying on the ground also got up and ran out of the crowd from the other direction.
Chen Donghui looked at all this coldly beside him, he knew that the thief who dared to attack in this kind of place was definitely not a "grass thief", but a "city thief", the city thieves were all gangs, they lost the wind just now, they would definitely not give up, the thief just now was to stare at the whistle of the man in the suit and Yu Man, after a while, someone must be looking for trouble for them!
Chen Donghui lit a cigarette and followed.
Yu Man was very angry, she was willing to date Zheng Songyuan, a gentleman who likes to cause trouble, but there was no way because of her father's order, but she didn't expect that Zheng Songyuan would be able to fight with someone even when she was waiting for Shangxiang.
Girls are emotional creatures, and once they have a preconceived impression of someone, they will get bored no matter what they do. Therefore, Yu Man didn't care that Zheng Songyuan took action to teach a few thieves who had cut his trouser pocket.
There were too many people near Xiangzi Temple, and the car couldn't drive in at all, so Zheng Songyuan parked the car on an empty and barren stone hill nearby.
Yu Man was in no mood to continue visiting the temple fair, but because of his good upbringing and the family's face, he didn't tear his face directly with Zheng Songyuan, and told Zheng Songyuan, who caught up, that she was a little unwell and wanted to go home.
Although Zheng Songyuan is a guy with a prominent family background and eyes above the top, he loves the otherworldly Yu Man very much, and he is not willing to make her angry at all, and when he heard Yu Man say that he was not feeling well, he immediately said that he would take her to the hospital for a good examination, and also analyzed that it may be that the weather is changing badly now, Yu Man has a cold, and he must exercise more in the future.
Yu Man listened to Zheng Songyuan's words, and his mood was even worse, and he didn't bother to explain, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the parking place.
When I came to the parking place, Zheng Songyuan's brand-new Lexus LS400 parked an old Santana on the left side, the body tilted by half a half, and a tricycle was parked in the back, which was also parked indiscriminately, with a wall in front and a big locust tree not far from the right!
Zheng Songyuan's Lexus LS400 was blocked by these two randomly parked cars, it is not impossible to reverse out, but it is very difficult, the body of LS400 is larger, and if you are not careful, you may rub against the body!
This old Santana and tricycle with multiple bruises on its body may not care about rubbing it, but Zheng Songyuan's brand-new Lexus LS400 is completely imported from the United States, plus freight, customs, license plates, etc., it cost more than one million!
It's only been driving for less than a month, and if you rub the car, even if it's just a little bit of paint, there's nowhere to fix it!
Although Zheng Songyuan grew up in the military region, he almost left his life behind his brother's life because he had a serious car accident when he was a teenager driving a jeep, although he recovered later, and did not leave any sequelae, but because of this, his father never let him and his younger brother learn to drive, and he and his younger brother secretly learned behind his younger brother's back, resulting in very average skills.
Reversing the car between this Santana and the tricycle, Zheng Songyuan was not very sure.
But Yu Man was not feeling well, he was in a hurry to go to the hospital, he couldn't wait, Zheng Songyuan was in a hurry with a toothache!
