Chapter 156: Soldier, Shen Qianxiu

"Dao Chief, long time no see. ”

Shu Ya walked over and greeted him with a smile.

"The Taoist is dressed very majestically today. "This is Zhang Jun.

"Brother Abbot. "This is Zhang Rui.

"Hmph, the Tao is good. "It's... Guo Xu.

Zeng Dongbo and Li Guicai also came with their wives and children, and greeted Chen Yang very politely.

Chen Yang led them in to burn incense.

When they saw the two Xuanyu outside the main hall, they obviously took a few more looks.

At this moment, three more men came down the mountain.

Two young girls, left and right, supported by an old man with thinning gray hair and a thin body.

The girls were in their twenties and had an ordinary appearance, and one of them had small freckles on her cheeks.

"Grandpa Shen, we've arrived. The freckled girl pointed to the Taoist temple in front of her: "This is the Taoist temple here." ”

Chen Yang saw it and walked towards them.

This old man is probably at least eighty years old.

"Hey, the trail chief is here. ”

The freckled girl asked, "Are you the Xuanyang Dao Chief?"

Chen Yang nodded: "It's the poor road." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not going to the wrong place. The two girls exhaled and said, "This is Shen Qianxiu, Grandpa Shen." ”

"The donor is here?"

"Grandpa Shen is here to ......"

"I'll make incense. Old man Shen Qianxiu said.

Only then did Chen Yang realize that this old man was full of anger and spoke very powerfully.

Even if he is old, his waist is still straight.

Although it is only about 1.7 meters, it stands there like a javelin.

The clothes on his body are cheap and ordinary, and it can be seen that his family background does not seem to be very good.

Chen Yang faintly, from this old man, he felt a temperament.

Like, a soldier.

"Please go inside the incense. Chen Yang led the old man all the way into the Taoist temple.

When everyone saw this unusual pilgrim, they all cast curious eyes and looked at him.

"This uncle must be eighty years old, right?" Guo Xu said.

Shu Zining said: "At least eighty, it is estimated that it is more than that." ”

"What's that he's wearing?"

"Clothes. ”

"Can that be called clothes?" Guo Xu said: "Those who sweep the streets are better than him." ”

"Smack!"

Guo Zhishan raised his hand and slapped him on the head: "Shut up." ”

"I'm telling the truth. Guo Xu held his mouth aggrievedly.

Shu Zining rolled his eyes, he felt more and more that he couldn't play with this guy.

With this immature nature, you still want to chase my sister?

Chen Yang naturally heard his words, and he was really glad for Guo Xu sometimes.

With his character, if he hadn't been born in a rich family, no amount of life would have been enough for him to die.

This mouth stinks.

"Soldier!" Xuan Zhen saw the old man for the first time, and immediately judged that this was a soldier.

He stood up straight, and when the old man walked up, he suddenly gave a standard military salute to the old man.

Everyone was stunned, and Chen Yang was also a little in a daze.

Senior brother, you are a Taoist priest!

The old man turned around slowly and gave him a military salute.

Then he walked into the main hall and took out a stack of money tied with rubber bands from his pocket, which had been sewn and mended for an unknown number of times.

He had just seen the words on the wooden sign outside the door, two hundred and one sticks of incense.

He counted out two hundred dollars and stuffed them into the merit box.

Hyun Jin handed him the incense stick.

And when he was burning incense, Chen Yang also learned about this old man Shen Qianxiu from the mouths of the two girls.

Mr. Shen is a veteran of the Liberation War, 89 years old this year, and the state will pay subsidies every month.

The subsidy is not small, enough for his own expenses.

But Old Man Shen doesn't have any money left over every month, and even goes out to pick up garbage every day.

Everyone was curious about where his money went, and when they asked, they learned that all of it had been donated.

Some people scolded him for being stupid, some admired him, and some felt pity.

It's also a coincidence that I'm here today.

When he was picking up garbage, he saw a newspaper report about the Lingshan Taoist Temple, so he thought about going up the mountain to burn incense.

It turned out to be a veteran.

Chen Yang was in awe in his heart.

He asked, "What about the old man's family?"

The freckled girl shook her head: "Grandpa Shen has no relatives." ”

"Then he ...... incense"

"I don't know, anyway, he's coming, and we don't worry about him alone, so we sent him over. ”

The two girls are staff members of the neighborhood committee, and the elderly in that neighborhood have to come to greet them every once in a while.

Shen Qianxiu was the object of their special attention, after all, he was too old.

Fortunately, his body is very tough, and he is almost 90 years old, and he usually doesn't even have a small illness.

"I guess I'm here to burn incense. Chen Yang thought to himself.

Others burned incense and had nothing to do, but they didn't want to leave just like that.

Especially these villagers.

Since the last time they listened to Chen Yang's recitation, they have been reciting it unforgettable, and they want to listen to it again.

"Xuanyang. Xuanyu walked over, his face a little serious: "Something happened." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Here you come. ”

Walking into the main hall, Chen Yang's pupils shrank slightly.

Shen Qianxiu knelt on the futon, and the incense stick burning in his hand turned into a wisp of green smoke, straight up, condensed but not dispersed.

"This ......"

Chen Yang is a little incredible, this incense, have you listened to it?

Two hundred pieces of incense sticks burned out the effect of 100,000 pieces of lying incense?

Looking at Shen Qianxiu again, he was still closing his eyes at the moment, silently reciting the local language that Chen Yang couldn't understand.

And his closed eyes, there were cloudy old tears falling.

"System, what's going on?" Chen Yang was puzzled.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The system said: "This person has great wishes, great merits, and is a great good person. ”

"And then?"

The system doesn't talk anymore.

Chen Yang slowly withdrew his gaze from the green smoke.

Glancing back, fortunately only a few of them saw it.

Shen Qianxiu had already opened his eyes at this moment and inserted the incense stick into the incense burner.

Then he bowed three times before slowly getting up.

Chen Yang was a little confused in his heart, Shen Qian cultivated incense sticks and went straight to heaven, but the system didn't let him do anything.

The last time a hundred people made incense, they directly asked him to pretend to be the god of the lake.

This time, there was no movement.

Just drop a great wish, a great merit, a great good person, and it will be gone?

"Donor. ”

Shen Qianxiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Let the Taoist see the joke." ”

Chen Yang asked, "What is on the donor's mind?"

"What can I have on my mind. Shen Qianxiu shook his head, but suddenly sighed: "I went up the mountain to put a stick of incense on my dead comrades." ”

Chen Yang said: "They will definitely be able to see it." ”

"Can you see it?" Shen Qianxiu asked himself.

"Many of my comrades-in-arms didn't even have a complete corpse left, how can they see it?"

"They died in a foreign land, and even if they die, they can't return to their hometowns, my poor comrades-in-arms!"

As Shen Qianxiu spoke, the emotions in his heart began to churn, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.
