Chapter 1018: Crisis is Approaching! (5 more)
If the dozen or so big Buddha statues in front of them are full of people, then the open space in front of the Guanyin Temple is even more crowded.
Two large rows of incense burners filled with incense candles of all sizes, and the smoke filled the air like a fire.
Turning the corner gate next to it, a huge furnace was burning, and all the believers' papers were thrown into it to burn, and with the cold wind howling, the fire spread, and after floating out of the furnace, even in the daytime, dazzling sparks bloomed in the air, which looked very shocking.
The Lin sisters, like all believers, folded their hands, placed incense candles between their index fingers and thumbs, and worshiped the huge statue of Guanyin three times, and then entered the Guanyin temple with the crowd, knelt down on the empty futon, and bowed three times again.
Xiao Fan didn't go to offer incense or worship, he just watched these countless people coming and going, and his heart was very shocked.
The incense here is so vigorous, and everyone worships Guanyin devoutly, which is very incomprehensible to Xiao Fan.
It's not that he doesn't respect the Buddha, it's just that he feels that this kind of spiritual sustenance has no meaning for him at all.
Out of the Guanyin Temple, continue to climb the steps to Fodu Mountain, there are people laying mats or paper shells everywhere in the open space, three or five people are sitting or lying, and there are people eating and playing cards, just like arriving at the campsite.
"What are they doing here?" Xiao Fan asked suspiciously.
"Spend the night here. Lin Ruohan replied.
"Overnight ......" Xiao Fan suddenly had the urge to roll his eyes, it was cold and frozen, hey, spend the night here, mats, paper shells, quilts, thin blankets?
As it turned out, Xiao Fan made a fuss, and the higher he went, the more people he saw setting up tents in the open space or chatting with each other as a family sitting on mats, with smiles on their faces.
It wasn't until he went to the highest Fodu Temple and came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall that Xiao Fan found that on a flat open space, tents were standing everywhere.
Even the cold wind was blocked by the crowd, and he didn't feel too cold anymore.
There are even more people who burn paper and incense here, so much so that Xiao Fan's heart palpitates, the crowd surges, and the black pressure is overwhelming, which is so spectacular that it is terrifying.
In order to avoid the Lin sisters being crowded, Xiao Fan stayed with the two sisters, secretly separating them from the internal strength, so that the two sisters could walk a little easier, until the two sisters entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall and knelt down to the three huge golden Buddha statues, Xiao Fan stood outside the high threshold to observe the Buddha statues carefully.
The Buddha statue is solemn and treasured, with compassion and majesty on its face, which makes people very shocked at a glance, and they can't help but be in awe.
"Donor, since you have come to the Buddha Gate, why don't you enter?" An old monk didn't know when he came to Xiao Fan's side and looked at him with a smile.
Xiao Fan saw that the old monk was wearing a robe, with a kind smile on his face, smiled, and said, "It's not that I don't respect the Buddha, but I don't want to ask for the Buddha, the Buddha is too busy." ”
"It is better to go to the door of the Buddha and not to enter than to be in Prajnapara...... Donor, what do you think is a Buddha?" the old monk asked.
Xiao Fan smiled and replied lightly: "I am a Buddha, you are also a Buddha, if you are a Buddha, all beings are Buddhas, faith is a Buddha, piety is a Buddha, incense and candles are Buddhas, burning paper, flying sparks, and ...... Buddhas"
In the crowd, Xiao Fan and the old monk were discussing Buddhism and Buddhism as if no one was around, he didn't know that in the market under the Fodu Temple, there was an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a subwoofer hanging on his waist, holding a bamboo stick, and a white cloth was hung on the bamboo stick, and the word 'divine calculation' was written on it.
"Xiaoyou, I see that you are full of heaven, with a handsome face and amazing bones, come and come, Rong Poor Dao will count a hexagram for you, if it is not effective, it will not be charged. ”
"Little girl, you have a bad omen today, and it's a big bad omen, even if you wear such a down jacket, Poor Dao can also see it, why don't you let Poor Dao calculate the way to get rid of the bad omen for you?"
"Uncle, you look like you are over eighty years old, and you still come to worship the Buddha, sincerely move the poor Dao, and let the poor Dao count a hexagram for you, it is much easier than asking for the Buddha, you are not allowed to ask for money!"
That's right, this person is the old Taoist priest that Xiao Fan has seen twice, as soon as Xiao Fan and the Lin sisters came out of Xiqing City, he hurriedly followed, and when he met people along the way, he pulled to tell the hexagram, and deceived a few people, but more often, he was chased and killed and ran away.
Here, all the people who were stopped by the old Taoist priest, after hearing his words, all looked strange and had an unkind look in their eyes.
In front of Buddhism, the Taoist priest counted the hexagram? Is this considered a smashing field?
"Phew!"
The old Taoist priest was very sad, all the replies he received were these words, and no one asked him to tell his fortune.
These are all devout Buddhists, he is a Taoist priest, how can anyone pay attention?
Harvested more than a dozen bahs in a row, and two children spat at the old Taoist priest under the instructions of their parents, and the old Taoist priest who couldn't deceive people stood on the high platform and looked into the distance, taking in the surrounding scenery, and muttered in a low voice: "No one believes the truth, and no one can deceive people with falsehoods, when has Lao Tzu failed so much?"
After a pause, a sad look appeared on ......the old Taoist priest's face: "Is what the bastard boy said when Lao Tzu is a lie? They all said that the calamity was in the West, and they ran here. ”
Fodu Mountain, geographically, is located directly west of Xiqing City!
"No, I have to go to the old monk and say, if the bastard boy hangs here, he may not know how big a thing will be, not to mention, the world is so big, it is too difficult to find a second suitable person......
Muttering in his mouth, the old Taoist priest walked down the stone steps and came to the mountain gate of Fodu Temple.
"Then who, buy a ticket and buy a ticket, the ticket price is two yuan!No, two hundred yuan!" The monk who was guarding the door to sell tickets widened his eyes when he saw the old Taoist priest and shouted loudly.
A few monks next to him immediately got up and surrounded the old Taoist priest with an unkind expression.
"Immeasurable Tianzun, they are all people outside the square, thousands of rivers and mountains are always in love, can you not charge tickets?"
"This is the Buddha Gate! My Buddha is a quiet place, what are you Taoist priests doing here? Fortune telling? Do you want to provoke a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?" Several monks flashed with anger in their eyes, and they saw that the old Taoist priest's gaze was extremely unkind.
The special police officer next to him was a little helpless, and he didn't know whether to step forward to stop him.
"The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism? I will fight for you to be Ami Lao Tianzun! Have you ever heard of Buddha in the Tao? What kind of Buddha do you cultivate? I don't know such a simple and easy-to-understand truth? Little monk, you are still vulgar, you don't have a wisdom root!" The old Taoist priest sighed and shook his head, with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
“……”
Several monks were also speechless, and when it came to the battle of tongues, they couldn't fight this obscene old Taoist priest if they ate white rice for another twenty years.
Just when the old Taoist priest was blocked outside the mountain gate of Fodu Temple, far away in the suburbs of Xiqing City, among the Diao family, Princess Diao was ecstatic and went straight to the residence of the princess, knelt down and said happily: "Master, the opportunity has come!"
