Chapter 109: Strange people at the temple fair
This Yaowang Temple is also some years old, it is said that the first time it was built was in the Tang Dynasty, and it is more than a thousand years from today, of course, it has been rebuilt many times in the middle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking outside the Yaowang Temple, you can see that there are a lot of people here, and people from ten miles and eight towns have rushed to pray to God and worship the Buddha, which shows that the incense of this Yaowang Temple is still very prosperous.
It was the first time for Xia Xiaomo to come to this kind of temple in the countryside, so she asked Chen Zhiping: "Zhiping, this Yaowang Temple is lively, the incense is so prosperous, why haven't you heard of it before?"
Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "This Yaowang Temple is also the only place where people from our area will come." Of course, it won't be famous, its history dates back to the Tang Dynasty, but the current temple is rebuilt. You see it has the mountain gate, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Zen room, the guest hall and so on, the Mahavira Hall is in the middle of the plastic Sakyamuni Buddha, more than 3 meters high, there is the Medicine Buddha on the left, there is Amitabha Buddha on the right, the hall also has Wei Tuo, Manjushri, Fuxian, Guanyin, Jizang, Garan, Seven Buddhas such as Lai, etc., each height is more than 3 meters high. ”
In fact, Yaowang Temple is just a small temple, covering an area of only 3,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 500 square meters, and there are only five monks in it.
Outside the Yaowang Temple, there are many stalls selling incense candles and paper money at this time, and some are fortune tellers, and they must invite incense candles when they come here, so there are many small businesses who also fancy this business opportunity, and there are fortune tellers from ten miles and eight towns have also come, and there are many people who look for these masters to see fortune tellers.
Chen Zhiping invited a few high incense candles, then took his family into the temple together, in front of the main hall has already prepared a large stove for burning incense and candles, there are many believers there to burn incense and light candles, Chen Zhiping They also squeezed over, where each person saluted three high incense.
Then I went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, of course, to worship the Buddha is also to throw a little incense money into the merit box, which is all for the purpose of accumulating virtue, of course, more or less arbitrary. After all, this is a rural area, and most of the believers cast a dime or two, and occasionally a piece. As for the investment of more than ten yuan, there are very few, unlike some big temples, there are many rich people who go to burn incense, then the merit money is unacceptable, and some donations are tens of thousands.
Chen Zhiping even knew that the more he arrived, the more rich people believed in these, and more and more merit money was donated, and even in order to grab the New Year's incense, he needed to spend millions and tens of millions. Of course, those are only available in big temples, and small temples like Yaowang Temple are not visited by any rich people.
Chen Zhiping prepared more merit money than ordinary pilgrims, there were more than a dozen pieces of one dollar, and more than a dozen pieces of ten yuan. The whole family went to worship all the gods and Buddhas in the temple, and when they entered the temple, they must worship the Buddha, otherwise it will not be good if they miss the worship.
The temple is not big, and after a quick visit, the family came out of the temple.
When they arrived at the square outside the temple and passed by a fortune-telling stall, Chen Zhiping and the others were stopped.
The fortune-telling old man has a goatee, and he looks a little bit of a master, but Chen Zhiping knows that many of these fortune-tellers are fools, and some fortune-tellers have not even graduated from elementary school, so they just bought a few fortune-telling books, and after studying them at home, they went to the street to tell fortunes, so it is strange that they can calculate accurately. Of course, because everyone believes in fate, there are still many fortune tellers.
It's just that there is no one in front of this old man's stall to take care of the business, probably this fortune teller is not from this area, but I don't know where he came from, he has never appeared in the countryside before, so no one recognizes him, and naturally there are almost no people who come to him for fortune telling. Generally speaking, those fortune tellers have been fortune tellers for many years, and there are some regulars and reputations before someone asks him for calculations.
The old man shouted: "Little brother stay! When we meet, we are fateful, so why don't you come and settle a hexagram?" This girl, you have a beautiful appearance, good facial features, rich lips, and bright eyes. This little brother, it is your blessing that you can marry such a woman!
Hearing the fortune teller's words, Xia Xiaomo was a little moved, she took Chen Zhiping's hand and said, "Zhiping, why don't we do the math, anyway, it will be fun." ”
Chen Zhiping knew that it was the fortune teller who said it, which made Xia Xiaomo curious, just forget it, it was nothing more than some hexagram gold, at most dozens of yuan.
Chen Zhiping smiled and said, "Xiaomo, do you believe the words of these fortune tellers?"
Xia Xiaomo said: "Give it a try, I have never told my fortune!"
Liu Sufen said: "This fortune teller doesn't seem to be local, I've never seen it before, and I don't know if it's accurate." ”
Chen Zhiping smiled: "Then let's try it, in case we calculate it accurately!"
The family turned around and stood in front of the fortune teller's stall, the fortune teller looked at Chen Zhiping, as if he had discovered some new world, and said in surprise: "Oh, little brother, I really didn't read it wrong, your face is really rare in the world, it is definitely a good face of great wealth and nobility! Heaven is full and horned, the head is fleshy, the eyebrows are thick, and the eyes are keen. However, little brother, there is a hidden break in your atrium, which the old man can't understand, which means that you are a human being in two lives, little brother, in physiognomy, this is really strange!"
Chen Zhiping was shocked, no, could it be that this fortune teller still has real skills? He won't really see that I am a reborn person, right? If that is the case, this fortune telling is really a thing? However, after being reborn, Chen Zhiping also believes that there are things in this world that cannot be explained by science, just like this rebirth, which cannot be explained by science. But didn't it happen to him?
Fortunately, the fortune teller did not continue, but said: "Little brother, you and this girl are destined by God, an absolute husband and wife." You give me your eight characters again, and I will show you again, I believe that the eight characters must be very compatible. ”
Chen Zhiping was a little interested, so he sat down with Xia Xiaomo and reported the birthdays of the two.
The fortune teller wrote and scratched on the paper for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What a marriage! You two will definitely grow old and have a full house of children and grandchildren." It's just that this little brother's eight characters are strange, you have more than one wife, but several, I can't count how many old husbands there are, is it still the appearance of the legendary emperor?"
Chen Zhiping sneered: "Old man, are you pinching nonsense, what age are you now, and you are still the emperor?"
The fortune teller said seriously: "The old man will never be wrong! Of course there is no emperor now, and having the appearance of an emperor does not mean that he will definitely become an emperor-like figure, but that you will have peach blossoms in your life, little brother!"
Xia Xiaomo glared at Chen Zhiping, meaning look, this fortune teller is really accurate, and all the flowers and hearts have been calculated.
Chen Zhiping had to smile bitterly: "Okay, who can say what will happen in the future?
The fortune teller smiled: "Sir, you are a person who does great things, and you pay attention to good luck in everything, so you can look at it and give an auspicious number!"
Chen Zhiping took out one hundred and twenty yuan from his bag, put it in front of the fortune teller, and said, "This should be enough, right?"
The fortune teller looked at so much money, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Enough, enough! The old man said, the little brother will definitely be rich and rich in the future!"
However, Chen Zhiping knew that this fortune teller might not be simple, otherwise how could he see that he had been a human being in two lives and that there were many women?
