Chapter 959: Five Masters Temple
Zheng Xueyi went back, and the next day, the relatives, uncles and aunts of Zhengji's mother also came to Zhengji's house from Qicheng County to pay New Year's greetings.
If this was in previous years, only Li Xuemei took Zhengji back to meet her relatives after the New Year, and since last year when she walked out of Qicheng to come to the politician's house for the New Year, everything has changed.
The reason for this, in fact, also know in their hearts, since last year, Zhengji allocated equity, uncles and aunts who were not wealthy, in the blink of an eye, also stepped into a middle-class family, plus the mother will also help from time to time, a year down, Zhengji's second uncle and uncle also bought a car, although it is not expensive, but this year to buy a car, is a minority.
They also know that to have today's change, and the political discipline family is naturally inseparable, people, pay attention to a sense of gratitude, but also pay attention to a courtesy, to put it mildly, as the political discipline goes higher and higher, they can foresee that in the future there will be more and more people who rely on political discipline, and it is also necessary to move around in advance.
ushered in the send-off, the red envelopes are like rain, the political discipline is still the younger generation who goes to school, and naturally he is also in the ranks of accepting red envelopes, and he is also a childlike child who does not refuse the New Year's money of his uncles and aunts, and the comers do not refuse, although he is not short of money, but this is more of a symbolic meaning.
Zheng Xueping and his wife also prepared red envelopes and gave them to their nephews and nephews, and their red envelopes were a lot bigger, basically a thick stack, and the children were happy to close their mouths when they got the red envelopes, but they didn't be happy for long, and they turned around and were taken back by the elders on the grounds that they kept it for him.
From the first day to the fifth day of the new year, the politicians are full of guests, and there is almost no chance to go out during the day.
After five days, the gifts at home were placed in a whole room, and most of them didn't even have time to see what they were.
The fifth day of the first month, commonly known as the fifth day of the break, after this day, everything slowly returned to the state before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Zhengji family was finally cleared.
Early in the morning, a convoy of Mercedes-Benz, an Audi A8, and a Land Cruiser drove mightily to Wutai Mountain, a Buddhist holy place south of Xincheng.
Sitting in the car is Zhengji's family, Li Xuemei has long wanted to go to Wutai Mountain with the whole family to pray for blessings and worship Buddha, so at this moment, Zhengji and his parents are sitting in the middle of the car, two cars in front and back, Lu Xun pulled the tribute and some Buddhist utensils prepared by Li Xuemei.
At this time, the highway to Wutai has not been repaired, so it is a vulgar mountain road, which is not very easy to walk, winding, 1O8 National Highway.
Masaki walked through this national highway, and the scenery along the way was good.
But there is one bad thing, there are more big cars and fewer small cars. More than 90 percent of the cars I saw were large trucks full of coal, and the concrete road was crushed into a broken road like a washboard by the trucks. Along the way, Li Xuemei got motion sickness and vomited once, and it took three hours to go up Wutai Mountain.
At the toll booth at the entrance to the mountain, there are already many vehicles queuing up to enter, and if you want to enter Wutai Mountain, outsiders have to pay a 50 entry fee for one person, while Wutai locals are free.
The people at the toll booth and the nearby traffic police also noticed this luxury convoy, and there were few cars on the entire Wutai territory, and they secretly guessed which big man came to Taishan to pray for blessings, and they were even ready to let go.
Unexpectedly, the big people they thought were lined up to enter in order, without exception, the three tigers paid the money, a small five hundred yuan, and Li Xuemei, who watched it, was a little distressed.
Zhengji is not unrelated to go in for free, and even if he makes a phone call, it is not a problem for the county magistrate of Wutai to greet him in person, but he himself is not a person who likes to swagger, so it is better to spend some money himself.
After passing the checkpoint, the convoy headed towards Taishan.
Wutai Mountain is a famous Buddhist holy place in China, almost every day there are countless pilgrims and monks worship the Buddha, and these days are the first month, so there are more people, everywhere you can see the temple and monks in different dresses, there are a lot of women traders holding Buddhist supplies to sell, selling their own Buddhist things, touting how good it is.
Parking the car in the parking lot, Masaki and the others got out of the car, he was wearing black-rimmed glasses and an ordinary light black coat, and almost no one recognized him.
"Let's go to the Wuye Temple first, I heard that the Wuye Temple is very effective", Zheng Xueping glanced at the time, and left early, now it is just past eight o'clock.
Speaking of the Wuye Temple of Wutai Mountain, it is a well-known miracle, the Wuye Temple, also known as the Five Dragon King Palace, is a building that sits north to south, the five masters enshrined in the temple of the Five Masters are the honorific titles of the Guangji Dragon King Manjushri Bodhisattva, and it is also the incarnation of the Wutai Mountain Wuding Manjushri Bodhisattva, therefore, here is the temple with the most incense in the whole Wutai Mountain.
In fact, it should be said that the five masters are actually the product of Manjushri Bodhisattva's localization and secularization in Taihuai, which assumes the function of folk gods and entrusts the local people to pray for smooth wind and rain, peace and auspiciousness.
Perhaps it is precisely because the five masters are closer to the masses than the * solemn bodhisattvas in other major monasteries, and more in line with the wishes of sentient beings who are eager for quick success, the small five master temples, in the minds of good men and women, it has almost become a symbol of responsiveness, and most of the people who burn incense on Wutai Mountain go to the Wuye Temple. In the minds of the masses, they don't know anything about Buddhism, and they don't even know Manjushri Bodhisattva, but as long as they talk about the Wuye Temple, it is famous far and wide, and it has almost become a business card of Wutai Mountain.
Hearing Zheng Xueping's proposal, Zheng Ji nodded and walked beside his parents, behind them were the three tigers and others, holding all kinds of tributes to be burned, and two people carrying a plaque.
Speaking of plaques, some people may be surprised why they carry a plaque when they go to the Wuye Temple.
Because it is rumored that after the plaque is hung in the Wuye Temple, the Wuye will be able to notice the plaque all the time, and will also remember your wishes, so it is rumored that the larger the plaque, the more conspicuous and effective.
However, the plaque is not hung in vain, the temple gate of the Wuye Temple is so big, if anyone can hang the plaque, the temple gate will collapse so early, and if you want to hang a plaque on the Wuye Temple, it is still a word, incense money.
A half-square-meter plaque requires 100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, which is not a small amount at this time, but even so, if you have been to the Wuye Temple, you can see how dense the plaques on the door of the Wuye Temple are!
There is a plaque from a certain company, a certain group gift, and a certain star is willing to give it.
At any given time, there is no shortage of rich people.
Soon, the group arrived at the gate of the Wuye Temple, the gate, it was already full of people, smoky, countless believers were crazy men and women, offering incense on the incense altar outside the Wuye Temple, lighting their respective tributes, and kowtowing sincerely to pray for blessings.
The reason why it is outside the gate is because for security and order reasons, it is not allowed to burn incense in the courtyard, so the location of burning tribute is arranged in the square outside the door, and the area is large enough.
Li Xuemei naturally also wanted to burn sacrifices.
Masaki was tall, and when he saw a place where there were not many people, he walked over with his mother, and Sanhu and the others hurriedly followed with their things.
"It's right here," Masaki paused, took the mat from the hands of the people behind him, and placed it on the ground.
Li Xuemei nodded, knelt on the mat, reverently took the required tribute from the hands of the three tigers, lit them one by one, burned them into ashes in the fire, and finally, lit a stick of incense, respectfully bowed to the Wuye Temple twice, and said something in his mouth.
Zhengji's ears were spiritual, and he vaguely heard the words of peace and good luck in the family.
He stood quietly watching the flames burning, the offerings that represented people's beautiful hopes turned into ashes in the flames, and he couldn't tell how he was feeling now, his beliefs, or was it irrelevant? It was hard for him to say, these mysterious things, to be honest, he didn't believe in them, but he didn't deny the existence of some mysteries, just like the living Buddha he encountered in Tibet.
After her mother finished burning, Zhengji helped her to stand up, and there were already some pedestrians around them, the reason for this is mainly because their lineup is really huge, Zhengji Sanzi stood in front, and the three tigers and other seven drivers and bodyguards stood respectfully behind them, and they were not ordinary people at first glance, and the things that Li Xuemei burned on the ground just now were also huge, and ordinary people had no money at all and would not buy so many things for sacrifice.
"Boss, do you want a dragon robe? Donate a dragon robe to the fifth master, and the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year", some small traders did not wait to come over, but they were stopped outside by Sanhu and others, and shouted at Zhengji.
Li Xuemei was not angry, shook her head with a smile, and took out the dragon robe she had prepared, silk weaving, which was expensive at a glance, and the vendor saw the dragon robe in Li Xuemei's hand, and retreated in shame.
"Boss, do you want to go directly to the temple to make a wish? No need to queue, I have a doorway, and a quota is only a hundred," one vendor just left, and the other came over again.
The reason why there is this business is because of the popularity of the Wuye Temple, that is, now, the queue has been discharged from the courtyard outside the square, a cursory glance is about a few hundred, if you queue up, at least in the morning.
Zhengji definitely wouldn't let his parents wait under the sun all morning, so he called the three tigers and whispered a few words in his ear, the three tigers nodded, broke through the crowd, and walked towards the main temple.
The three tigers rushed left and right, relying on their strength to squeeze into the crowd, causing a commotion, and being looked at angrily by the people, but the three tigers had been mixed up after all, and the fierce appearance of the bull and the horse was fierce, and people could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
Masaki looked at this scene, and could only say sorry to them in his heart, between his parents and morality, he chose his parents.
A few minutes after the three tigers entered, there was a commotion in front, and then the crowd surged and separated a road, and the three tigers walked out with a few monks.
"This donor, please come here, please", the person who came, a monk in his forties and fifties, looked at Masaki with glasses seriously, and said with a clear smile on his face.
Masaki nodded, and then followed the monk towards the back of the temple under the gaze of the onlookers, followed by Sanhu and the others with their things.
In the rear, the meditation room is deep, covered by pines and cypresses, Zhengji and others bypassed the Wuye Temple and walked towards a delicate meditation room behind.
