Chapter 41: The Five Temples

The days passed quietly, and it was a few days since Shen Chengyao came back, and brought back a bad news, the family moved out three years ago, saying that they went to seek refuge with distant relatives and sold all the family's properties and fields, and the people in the village did not know where they went.

Originally, Shen Chengyao only suspected that Yun'er's abduction had something to do with them, but now he felt that there was a chance that it would have nothing to do with them, and at the same time, he vaguely gave himself an excuse in his heart, attributing Yun'er's abduction to their daughter for the food they sold in a complicated store, and it had nothing to do with the Dafang family, he remembered that when he was a child, his eldest brother still loved their brothers very much, and if there were children in the village who bullied him, he would also help him out, and if there was something delicious, he would give him a copy, he felt that such a big brother should not be able to do such a thing. But what he didn't expect was that people's hearts are fickle, the outside world is so exciting, there are often many people, many things, and many experiences that make a person change, and there can be a few people in the world who are unchanged and never forget their original intentions.

A person wants to rest when he is tired, wants to get help when he is in difficulty, tries to make money when he is poor, and is no longer willing to give up the sweetness he has now after suffering. Who can guarantee that no one in this world will change? It just depends on whether it gets better or worse.

Xiao'er still asked Shen Chengyao to report the suspicion that the family took Yun'er away to the yamen, after all, the yamen has more ways to do things after they have clues.

The fifteenth day finally arrived, and Shen Chengyao took his family and his fourth aunt Jingjie to the Five Temples.

The temple of the five gods is built on the mountainside of the highest mountain of the five gods mountain range - the peak of the five gods, there is an official road directly to the peak of the five gods, there is a wide and flat place at the foot of the mountain is specially for pilgrims to park their carriages and horses, and there is a carriage and horse storage place, you need to pay five coins to keep it for a morning.

Legend has it that the five gods mountain range once lived five immortals, protecting the villagers near the five gods mountain range for a hundred years, and then the five gods returned to heaven, the whole county finally ushered in a great drought and locust plague, at that time starved to death many people, everyone said that it was because the five gods returned to heaven, the county had no protector, so the disaster came, someone thought of building a five-god temple on the five-god mountain, please the five gods come down to sit in the five-god mountain, to ensure that the people on one side are in harmony with the rain, and has been recognized by many people, so the five-god temple was built, there are the imperial court funding, and the people consciously contribute。

The road up to Mt. Goshin is paved with rocks, it is very spacious, about 1.5 meters, and there is a platform after every 100 steps, a total of 500 steps. Usually, every fifteenth day of the new year, there are many people on the hundred-step ladder to sell things on the platform, and those who do not occupy a position on the platform will hang a rectangular tray around their necks to sell, but today is the centennial temple of Wushen Mountain, and there are crowds of people, and there are officers and soldiers near the foot of Wushen Mountain to stop people who want to do business today, worried about hindering the pilgrims from going up and down the mountain, and there will be accidents.

Xiao'er originally wanted to bring those silk flowers and small puppets to sell, but Liu said that one year, because there were many people doing business on the temple festival, many pilgrims were hindered from going up the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the mountain and the 100-step ladder were crowded, and the uphill and downhill were all on the 100-step ladder before, but the incense of Wushen Mountain was really prosperous, and there would be a stepping accident every temple birthday, and the government funded the construction of a special road for going down the mountain, of course, it was much smaller than the hundred-step ladder, and only two people could go down the mountain side by side, which was also designed considering that some children need to be pulled by their parents to walk.

Shen Chengyao carried two food boxes containing some sacrifices, Xiao'er and the three brothers followed behind him, and Liu walked at the back with his little sister and Lu in his arms. It is not easy to go up the ladder with 500 steps, just imagine, according to the calculation of a floor of 20 steps, 500 steps of the ladder is 25 floors, they have rested several times along the way, and some rich daughters have walked a short distance and were carried up by the family with a soft bridge, and there are almost no daughters who can insist on going up. Of course, there are also some ladies who ask for things that are too important, in order to highlight their piety, they can also persevere, and people's perseverance is actually unimaginable.

Although several children were tired and half dead, none of them cried and wanted to hug like other children, Lu Shi saw that Jingjie was really tired and hugged for a while, but they couldn't hug it far, and they were tired of walking by themselves. finally arrived, and Rao is Xiao'er was tired and sweaty.

The Five Temples have lasted for a hundred years, except for the main hall on the mountainside. There are also some small temples built around the lower sides, there are the temple of sending the son Niangniang, there is the temple of the god of wealth, there is the temple of Wenqu Xing and so on. But no matter what you are here to ask for, you must first worship the five gods of the main temple, and then go to worship the others, this is a tradition that has been passed down for many years, and no one does not follow it.

In front of the main hall, there is a flat open space, half an acre in size, all paved with rocks, there is a big incense burner in the middle, and there is a big tribute table in front of the incense burner.

After the incense, he knelt down and kowtowed three times before he was done, and then Liu took everyone into the hall and added sesame oil money, Liu added 10 taels, Lu added one tael, and then a few people picked up the stick holder and asked for a sign.

Liu's request for the signature, Jing Rui and Jing Hao both asked for the signature, but Shen Chengyao didn't ask for it, he said that he didn't ask for the same as Liu's.

Lu Shi also asked for a signature, and Xiao'er asked for a top sign, and the family was so happy that the smile on their faces was like flowers, which made the people next to them who were not satisfied with it jealous and jealous, and the people behind them were even more eager to try.

"Why haven't you heard of it before?"

The monk in the temple heard that someone asked for the best sign, and the rest of the family actually asked for a good sign, and couldn't help but look at it more before explaining: "Master Yunfa just rushed back yesterday, and last night he specially added the most signed, only one, I didn't expect the little donor to be so lucky to ask for it, the little donor, Master Yunfa said, whoever asks for this sign can go to the backyard to find him for approval."

Everyone exploded when they heard this, and looked at Xiao'er with very eager eyes, who is this little girl, and how can she be so lucky to get the best sign.

Master Yunfa, that is the highest mage of the Min Ze Dynasty, his approval is not allowed, he has not given orders in the past few years, saying that the heavenly machine should not be leaked too much.

Xiao'er didn't want to go in her heart, so she signed the most and signed: Blessing the world. She thinks she's not that tall!

Shen Chengyao and Liu were very excited, they felt that they were fortunate to come, and they really needed to come to return to their senses, so they hurriedly urged Xiao'er to follow the little monk.

The little monk saw that Xiao'er hesitated and thought that she didn't dare to leave her family, so he said, "The little donor is still young, who is the father and mother of the little donor, one of you should follow." ”

There were a lot of people here, and Shen Chengyao was worried that there would be no man there when he went, and the Liu family couldn't watch a few children, so they let the Liu family carry the little sister and follow him.

Unexpectedly, they just walked to the backyard, and Master Yunfa actually came out of the meditation room to greet them, and he bowed forward slightly: "A few donors, please come in." ”
