Chapter 487: The Book of Great Dao (2)
?“ Why is it so bad." Li Yan's expression was stunned.
"Isn't it, some people have asked, the master of Daguan said, Grandma Wang's house is surrounded by four walls, and one dollar can already represent all her mind, and Liu Wan's family has tens of millions, and 500,000 shows of sincerity are not necessarily much stronger than Wang *** one dollar. The man said.
In this way, the Lord of the Great View judges sincerity according to the proportion of personal property. Li Yan asked after a moment's thought.
"That's roughly the case, but it's not absolute, now Qingxuguan has at least one or two Chosen People in each village, and these people want to donate all their family property and then dedicate themselves to the Great Dao. The man said again.
"The Chosen One. Li Yan heard the man say a new term, so he wanted to hear him explain what the chosen one was.
"The Chosen One, according to several contemplators, is the person closest to the Great Dao, and these people have the greatest sincerity and can be used as the spokesperson of the Clear Void Concept. The man said with envy on his face.
In this way, the families in each village who have money and who do not have money are reported by these chosen ones to a few observers. Li Yan asked again.
"Not exactly. The man said.
"How to say. Li Yan asked.
"Personal property is reported by the individual, the chosen one is only the supervision, if there is any false report, it will be punished by God, at the beginning there are people who report false numbers, want to hide from the world, but these people have been punished by God, so then no one dares to deceive. The man said, a look of fear on his face at the mention of the word "damnation".
"Damnation, what damnation. Li Yan frowned and asked.
"I don't dare to say this, if you say it, you will be punished by God, little brother, if you want to believe in the Great Dao, go to Qingxuguan yourself, I see that you have strange bones and a dignified appearance, maybe after you arrive, you will be selected as the chosen one." The man shook his head repeatedly, the fear on his face even worse.
"Okay, thank you, uncle, I'll go to Qingxu to watch it now, by the way, my car will be left at your house, and I'll pick it up when I come back." Li Yan saw that the uncle was reluctant to say it, he felt that he had obtained enough information from this man that he wanted to know, and no matter how specific it was, it was estimated that this man would not know, so he stood up and said.
"Alright then, you wait, I'll send you. The man said, and after speaking, he closed the book very carefully, wrapped it in a cloth bag, took it back to the room and put it away, and then walked out of the courtyard with Li Yan.
"Little brother, I see that you are not our local, when you come to Qingxuguan, if someone asks about you, you will say that Niu Lao of Niufangzhuang recommended you to go. The man said as he walked out the door with Li Yan.
"Okay, I'll say this, uncle, please stay. Li Yan nodded, said with a smile, until now, he knew that this man's name was Niu Lao, and after speaking, he strode away from the farmer's house, and walked west along the road in the village.
On the way, Li Yan met several groups of local villagers who had returned from Qingxuguan, and several of them were obviously asking for Dadaoshu, because Li Yan found that they were carefully holding a cloth bag with the same cloth bag that Niu Lao had taken out, and they staggered past him with a happy face.
After walking a few steps forward, a few groups of villagers rushed over from behind, from the content of their chatting while walking, Li Yan learned that they were going to Qingxu Guan to seek the Great Dao Book, he did not take the initiative to greet them, these people did not take the initiative to chat with him because they did not know him, but they traveled together all the way because they had the same destination, these villagers were simple-hearted, and did not avoid anything because they suddenly joined a stranger, they were still chatting loudly, and the content of the chat was mainly concentrated in the Qingxu Guan, several Guan Masters and the Great Dao Book, Li Yan confirmed the words that Niu Lao said to him before from their chat attentionAt the same time, he also got some other things that Niu Lao did not mention from the chats of these people, which made his understanding of Qingxuguan and Huaxia monks clearer.
From the chat of these people, Li Yan can hear that Qingxuguan is a local ancient Taoist temple since ancient times, the original incense is not vigorous, and there are few Taoist priests, last summer, Huaxia monks suddenly came to Qingxuguan, and took over Qingxuguan, became the name of Qingxuguan, the original view of the master has few people know, and now I don't know where I am, is dead or alive.
After the Chinese monks came, they carried out a large-scale renovation of the Qingxu Temple, and gradually attracted the attention of the local villagers, they are really famous, but it is really as Niu Lao said, it is from the Niufangzhuang Liu Laoshi was cured by the Daguan Lord to cure the old cold legs, with more and more people seeking medical advice, their fame is also getting bigger and bigger, which also laid the mass foundation for them to promote their Tongshen Avenue, so everything next fell into place, and now they seem to have been pushed to the altar by the local villagers, becoming the fairy-like characters of the villagers, and the Avenue books they distributed, have also become the gods of the villagers' hearts, who can invite the Avenue Books home, naturally, it will be envied by the neighbors, and it will be a supreme glory.
Li Yan followed these villagers all the way, listening to these people's chatter, but he did not feel lonely on the road, and after more than half an hour, the quaint Taoist temple that his consciousness clone saw that night appeared at the end of a long bluestone staircase.
But he did not follow the villagers to climb the stairs, but turned around and walked to the mountain behind the Taoist temple, because he used the weather field to find out that the Huaxia monks are now in the main hall in the Taoist temple, accepting the pilgrimage of the villagers, if he rashly enters, he is recognized by a guy, arousing their vigilance, and he estimates that he will not find anything.
"Big brother, why don't you go to the Taoist temple, I heard that the master of the temple is here today, the opportunity is rare. A beautiful girl who was ten years old and had two braids hanging down her shoulders saw that Li Yan was not going to the Taoist temple with them, so she blinked a pair of beautiful big black eyes and asked.
"No, I'm a tourist from other places, I'm here for sightseeing, let's go to the back mountain first, and then go to the Taoist temple later. Li Yan smiled at the girl named Feng Ya and said, her name was what he had just learned from the villagers' chat.
"Fengya, let's go. A young man in his twenties shouted to Feng Ya impatiently, and at the same time cast a hostile gaze at Li Yan.
Li Yan touched his nose and smiled bitterly, it seems that the villagers are not all simple-hearted people, at least this guy named Zhan Kui is small enough, but he also understands that Feng Ya is lively and cute, and she is very beautiful, standing in a group of villagers, she is really as outstanding as a chicken, and if that man has such a girlfriend, he must also be carefully guarded to prevent her from being abducted by other men.
"Got it. Feng Ya was a little dissatisfied with Zhan Kui's shouting, so she shouted at him, and then smiled a little embarrassedly at Li Yan and said, "Big brother, let's go." After speaking, he walked a few steps to catch up, and walked towards Qingxuguan together.
Li Yan looked at the slender back of Feng Ya's departure, smiled slightly, turned around, and walked towards the back mountain, he walked up a distance along the rugged mountain road, up to a small hill, standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the mountainside, covered by dense trees, a Taoist temple with an antique building complex with cigarette smoke curling, there is a clear void view.
After finding a piece of flat bluestone and making it, Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, entered a state of concentration, and thought about the direction of the Qingxu Guan and spread away, and everything in the Qing Xuguan was in his heart.
It is now more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the Qingxu Temple is crowded with people, there are many villagers who come to offer incense, the big incense burner placed in front of the first hall after entering the Taoist temple is full of incense candles that are burned high and low, and there is a long queue next to the incense burner at the same time, most of these people are holding incense candles in their hands, their expressions are solemn, waiting for the incense.
Li Yan saw that Feng Ya, who had greeted him just now, was also standing in the line with a few pillars of high incense in her hands, and her boyfriend Zhan Kui was standing behind her empty-handed, both of them looked very pious and didn't say a word.
Sigan left this little couple, Li Yan's attention turned to the main hall, there was also a long queue at the entrance of the main hall, in the main hall, the Chinese monks were there, the Mingda Taoist priest and another Taoist priest sat on two futons on the left and right, slightly closed eyes, with a serious face, on both sides of the main hall, there were two tables on each side, two of the four Confucian monks on one side, sitting behind the table, there was a big box on each side of the table, there was a layman to take care of it, and the other two laymen were sitting on the table next to them, holding a brush and posing for a record。
At this time, a fat-headed and big-eared guy walked in from outside the door with a hunched body and knelt on the futon in front of the Taoist priest.
"Huangzhuang Huang Mancang came to ask the Lord for a book on the Great Dao. Fat Huang Mancang threw himself to the ground and said loudly.
"Hmm. Daoist Mingda opened his eyes, glanced at the fat in front of him, and hummed softly.
Fat got up from the ground, came to the box next to the table on the left, took out a few dozen thick banknotes from the black leather bag he was tucked under his armpits, respectfully handed them to the Confucian monk sitting behind the table, and said loudly: "Huang Mancang dedicates 50,000 hearts to the Great Dao, and begs the Lord to give the Great Dao Book!"
The Confucian monk took the banknote, but instead of putting it in the box, he put it on the table next to the box.
Seeing this, Huang Mancang hurriedly took out a few dozen banknotes from his bag again, and said loudly: "Huang Mancang once again offered 30,000 hearts to the Great Dao, and begged the Lord to give the Great Dao Book!"
The Confucian monk took the banknote again, but still did not put it in the box, but put it on the side of the 50,000 banknotes just now, still without saying a word, looking at Huang Mancang coldly.
Huang Mancang sweated on his head, opened his bag again, took out all the money in it, and left 50,000 yuan, handed it to the Confucian monk again, and his mouth was still the same set of rhetoric, up to now, he had taken out 130,000 yuan successively, and the thirteen dozen blue-green banknotes piled up a hill on the table next to the box, which caused a discussion among the people waiting outside the hall, to the effect that this Huang Mancang family had 130,000 yuan to the Great Road, and it was too picky.
At this time, on the other side, an old farmer in his fifties donated 1,000 yuan, successfully invited the Great Dao Book, and left happily, while Huang Mancang's 130,000 yuan obviously did not make the Confucian monk moved, and still did not put his money in the box.
"Hmph, Huang Mancang is insincere, deceived the Great Dao, and must be punished by heaven. Daoist Mingda suddenly opened his eyes, snorted coldly and said, his voice was not loud, but everyone in the hall and outside the hall could hear it clearly, and everyone was suddenly shocked and messed up.
The corners of Li Ling's mouth, who was far away on the top of the mountain, turned up slightly, this trick of the Mingda Taoist priest is divine in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his opinion, it is not mysterious at all, but it is just adding a bit of innate qi when speaking, and at the same time, he also concentrates his attention, wanting to see how this old Taoist who pretends to be a ghost will send down the curse.
