After eating breakfast, the two drove to the West Pagoda Temple. Located in the western part of the city, the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info West Pagoda Temple is not the largest temple in the city, but it is full of incense. This temple is said to have been built in the former Qing Dynasty and was donated by a wealthy businessman who survived the catastrophe. Take a high tower in the temple as the name of the temple, this high tower is actually not high, only ten zhang up and down, that is, there is a relic of the first generation of this tower in the tower. There are more than a dozen Buddha statues of different sizes and different forms in the tower, the incense is full of incense all day long, there will be monks entering the tower to clean, burn incense, worship in the morning and evening. There are more than 20 monks in the temple, ranging from young monks in their twenties to high-ranking monks in their eighties and nineties.

Entering the temple, facing is a tall and verdant big banyan tree, the branches and leaves are broad, very dense, looking from afar, like a green umbrella that is opened, shading the sun and sheltering the shade, countless air roots hang down from the tree, the thick straight into the soil, the fine one hangs on the ground, the scenery is particularly spectacular.

The West Tower Temple is divided into two halls before and after, the front hall is the front hall of the Heavenly King, there are four great King Kongs in the hall, respectively holding the four treasures of "earth, fire, water and wind". The side hall is the Arhat Hall, the Tibetan Pavilion, the Veda Palace, the Reclining Buddha Palace, the front of the apse is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, next to the Guanyin Pavilion, the Bodhisattva Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Dharma Hall ・・・・・.

The incense of the West Tower Temple is prosperous, the pilgrims who burn incense and worship the Buddha in the temple every day are endless, especially on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, the scene is even more crowded, and the whole temple is almost filled with incense fans who can't open their eyes.

Weidong and Tian Jiu held incense and candles, and after entering the temple, they first went to each hall to worship each Buddha statue, and there were words in their mouths, and they looked pious. After a round of worship, Wei Dong held the jade bi in both hands, and under the leadership of a young monk, he came to the Dharma Hall and met an old Zen master who was about sixty years old to explain his intentions.

The old Zen master seemed to have been accustomed to the consecration of the Dharma, without saying a word, leading the two of them straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, while whispering to the little monk to recruit four more monks, and when everything was ready, he began to open the altar to chant the Buddha, and cast the spell for the jade bi to open the light...

Wei Dong and Tian Jiu stood aside very reverently, not daring to speak. About an hour later, the consecration ceremony was completed, Weidong and Tian Jiu naturally thanked a few monks, and also sent a red envelope, the so-called incense money of the Buddhist family, and the two of them happily set off home near noon.

Back in the tea shop, Wei Dong looked very excited, as if the jade bi had brought him a lot of good luck. Because Wei Dong gave him a key to the store, Xiao Pang arrived at the store earlier than Wei Dong and Tian Jiu, and was waiting for the two of them to eat together.

Chubby is the only son of the family, his parents worked in a foreign trade company when he was young, with the increase in age and rich work experience, the couple both resigned to go to the sea to do business, because of their experience and connections, the company's business conditions have been very good, the husband and wife sing with the wife, the company is well managed, Chubby has become a redundant person in the company, he simply has a leisure, often lazy to run to the tea shop.

The three of them ordered takeout, chatted while eating, and sat down to drink tea after eating. did a few business, although the amount was not large, but Wei Dong was very happy, and muttered that Yubi began to bring him fortune, which made Xiaopang's heart itch, saying that he would also go to Xita Temple tomorrow, and also pointed out that the surname of the Dao wanted Tian Jiu to accompany him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chubby received a call from a girl, asking him to go over to sing, and Chubby said "uh-huh" twice and then arrived. Before leaving, Xiaopang invited Weidong and Tian Jiu to go together, Weidong refused, and persuaded Xiaopang not to always be on call by others, people were waiting for him to pay.

Chubby smiled and didn't say anything, and left.

Looking at his back, Wei Dong shook his head and said, "This kid is too easy-going, he doesn't have a temper at all, no wonder others treat him like this." ”

As soon as Xiaopang walked on his front foot, Tian Jiu followed behind and said, "Let's go too." Wei Dong didn't understand and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Tian Jiu said, "Go up to your house and have a look." After hearing this, Wei Dong's face changed slightly, and his behavior suddenly became unnatural. He prevaricated: "It's too late today, let's go early tomorrow." ”

Tian Jiu said: "It's not too late, it's just right to go at this time." "Tian Jiu's words are true, ghosts usually come out in the middle of the night, it's too early, you have to wait.

Dongwei Xiang thought about it and said: "I'm a little tired today, I want to rest early, I don't want to go out, forget it, let's go another day, go another day." ”

Tian Jiu smiled dumbly and said, "That's it, you send me over, come back to the store to sleep by yourself, and come over to pick me up tomorrow morning." ”

In his own affairs, Tian Jiu was so enthusiastic to help, but he hid behind and hesitated, which was unjustifiable in terms of affection or benevolence. Wei Dong gritted his teeth, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go to it a demon and a monster, I'll come to old Wei." ”

Wei Dong's newly bought house is in the Chunjiang community, which was built in the 70s and has a uniform height of eight floors, which seems a little out of place on Chunjiang Road, where the high-rise buildings stand. As early as a few years ago, there were rumors that it would be demolished, but after a few years, this community is still standing majestically.

The main gate of Chunjiang community is facing Chunjiang Road, if you enter the community from the main gate, you must go out of the alley and enter Jiefang Middle Road and then turn into Chunjiang Road, so that the distance will take about 20 minutes even if you drive, there are many traffic lights at the intersection, plus it is not easy to find a parking space, it will take more than half an hour to go back and forth, not to mention the time-consuming, it is quite troublesome to toss, but if you go through the back door, it is much more convenient.

Turn left about 50 meters from the tea shop and insert the Chunjiang Branch, the back door of the community is in the middle of the Chunjiang Branch, the residents of the old-fashioned community generally like to take the back door, the back door of the Chunjiang community just has a farmer's market, which makes the residents of this community usually go to this small door.

Weidong and Tian Jiu walked the back door of the community tonight, the back door is locked all year round the big iron gate, leaving only a small door to facilitate the residents of the community to enter and exit, the gate post has a security guard, open the door at six o'clock in the morning, close the door at eleven o'clock in the evening, the thunder does not move.

?? Entering the back door, there is a main road, with multiple forks on both sides, and residential buildings around it. The environmental sanitation of the community is quite clean, and someone is asked to take care of it. There are trees planted on the roadside, and the height is different, presumably because of the different time of planting. There are street lights at every intersection, but the lights are very dim, and the neighborhood at this time is slightly quiet, with occasional cars driving in from the main entrance, and there are almost no residents, and the night is getting deeper.

Wei Dong's house is in Room 801 of Building 19, which is the top floor, near the corner of the building. In the early days of the sale, there was a contract that the owner who bought the corner of the top floor could buy it together with the roof. Weidong's house is just in the corner of the building in the east, so it is equipped with a roof, the former residents are used as balconies, after Weidong bought it, it was renovated into a small garden, you can drink tea and chat, and you can enjoy the flowers and scenery.

In the residential buildings in the seventies, there were no elevators, and they had to climb on their legs, and when they climbed to the eighth floor, Wei Dong and Tian Jiu were a little gasping slightly. Wei Dong took out the key to open the door, probably nervous, the key was inserted into the lock hole several times before opening the door, the door was just opened, a cold and musty smell came to his face.

Wei Dong stood at the door, hesitating and not daring to move forward, Tian Jiu stood behind, stretched out his hand to pull him behind him, and a pair of sharp eyes swept into the room.

The room was pitch black, the curtains blocked the light outside, Wei Dong stood behind Tian Jiu, only to feel that his back began to chill little by little, and an inexplicable sense of fear slowly occupied his body and mind, and his eyes couldn't catch any information at all.
