Chapter Ninety-Seven: Awesome Taoist Priest! 【Ask for Recommendation】
Lu Ting bought a new car, and Shi Lin was the happiest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He drove a new car, took Tang Xiao's brothers and sisters and Lu Ting, and went around Lihe County for a long time, and Lu Ting suddenly proposed:
"By the way, Shi Lin, you and Ning Ning are about to get married, since we are out of the city today, why don't we go to Xiangshan Temple to ask for a sign, and we want to be auspicious?"
Shi Lin turned his head and said, "Does Ning Ning go to Xiangshan?" Outside Xiangshan Temple, maybe there will be a market today, and the stall that makes spicy beef tastes really good. ”
Tang Ning was not in a good mood, and when she heard Shi Lin say this, she snorted and said, "You know how to eat in one day, it's true." ”
Tang Xiao said: "You like to eat, otherwise why would Shi Lin tempt you with a spicy beef stall?" ”
Lu Ting said: "Go, go!" It's all out of the city, and it's a little unreasonable to go over the hill when you get here. ”
Shi Lin said: "No wonder Sister Ting can make a fortune, dare to be a particular person!" Okay, let's go to Xiangshan to make incense, I don't ask for anything else, I just want our family to be safe, happy and healthy, haha......"
Lihe Xiangshan Temple is a more famous place nearby, on the one hand, there are a lot of people who go to incense here, on the other hand, Xiangshan is very close to the county seat, the government has invested a lot of money in this area to engage in tourism development, usually weekends and holidays, here has become the first choice for the county citizens to relax leisurely.
In recent years, Lihe has advocated special tourism, and the characteristics of Xiangshan are that there are mountains and rivers and Tujia customs. Another feature is the Xiangshan Market, which runs every five days and brings vendors from all over the world to the huge square outside the Xiangshan Temple.
Every time you catch the market, it is as lively as a temple fair, and when the market meets the first or fifteenth day of the new year, it is even more crowded, and the water is impassable.
Today is very coincidental, it happens to be the market of Xiangshan, although it is not the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day, but it is close to the end of the year, at this time there are a lot of people rushing to the market, on the Xiangshan Square, the traffic is busy.
found a place to park the car, Lu Ting said: "That's it, let's go to the incense first, and then come out to the market after the incense is finished, okay?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Brother, are you incense?" ”
Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "You and Shi Lin go, I'll just walk around outside and wait for you." ”
The incense on the temple is naturally not attractive to Tang Xiao, he only worships Confucius, does not worship the Buddha, and does not need to worship Guanyin.
Lu Ting is the most pious, she specially found a large shop, bought three pillars of high incense, and also found a basin, washed her hands cleanly before walking into the temple with high incense.
Shi Lin was much more casual when he was young, he bought a stick of incense casually, followed behind Lu Ting with a smile and said: "We often say that we burn high incense, Sister Ting will burn high incense today, according to me, Sister Ting can make a fortune, that is, high incense burns well, isn't it?" ”
Lu Ting's face was straight, and she said, "Little rabbit cub, don't talk nonsense, follow me in." ”
Following the flow of people, Lu Ting and the others entered the Xiangshan Temple, while Tang Xiao carried his hands behind his back and walked around casually.
Tang Xiao hadn't been to this place for a long time, and he remembered that the last time he came here was when he was in high school, he didn't understand anything at that time, and it had been more than ten years away in a blink of an eye.
In this area of the Li River, the folk custom is that Buddhism and Taoism are competing, but whenever people have red and white happy events, especially white happy events, they will find Taoist priests or monks.
Some people say that Taoist priests are powerful, but some people believe in Buddhism and think that monks are powerful.
When Tang Xiao was a child, he even saw examples of monks and Taoist priests fighting for customers, and now when he thinks about those things, he finds it funny.
In the mundane world, even if it is Taoism and Buddhism, most of them are mediocre and laypeople, and how few people really cultivate the Tao and cultivate Buddhism? I'm afraid that under the guise of Buddha and Taoism, being a monk and a Taoist priest is just a livelihood.
Anyway, in Tang Xiao's memory, he had never found a cultivator in the area of the Li River.
Tang Xiao walked around Xiangshan Temple, he felt that his mood had stretched a lot, not to mention anything else, the scenery in this area was indeed good.
And Tang Xiao circled around the temple, and before he knew it, he would think of cultivation.
Tang Xiao is a Confucian and a cultivator, since he came back from Lingang, although he has not stopped reading and practicing calligraphy these days, he has forgotten about his practice.
After all, this is the place where he was born and raised, and he has not practiced since he was a child, and if he hadn't seen a temple today, he wouldn't even have gone to the fact that he had already stepped into Confucianism and Taoism.
"Brother, where did you go just now, let's find it all out!" Suddenly I heard Downing's scream.
Tang Xiao was slightly stunned, and turned his head to find that Tang Ning and the others had come out of the temple, Shi Lin looked proud, and said: "Brother, I just drew a lot, and the sign said that I will have an unexpected joy in the next few days, oops, I don't know if the spirit is not spiritual, I am a little excited in my heart!" ”
Tang Xiao smiled and said, "It's good to have an accident, did Ning Ning also draw lots?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I don't believe in that thing, it's a waste of money." ”
Shi Lin stuck out his tongue and sneered: "I'm just playing, and I don't take it seriously!" ”
"Hey, where is Sister Ting?" Shi Lin said suddenly, he looked around and didn't see Lu Ting's figure.
"I'm here, you guys come here!" Not far away, where the crowd was concentrated, Lu Ting beckoned to this side: "Come here, there is a Taoist leader here who has good skills!" ”
"Daoist? There is a Taoist priest outside the monk temple again, which is a bit interesting! "Shi Lindao.
In this area of the Li River, Buddhism and Taoism compete, monks have temples, but Taoist priests do not have Taoist temples.
But all Taoist priests, are there people, these people are croppers on weekdays, once there is something to put on a Taoist robe and become a Taoist priest, rural people generally do not care about this, anyway, the red and white wedding is mainly to join in the fun.
The Taoist dojo is very lively, and there are many people who invite them, and from this point of view, the monk's rituals are sometimes not so popular.
Sure enough, above the square, in an open space, there was a Taoist priest performing.
Look at this Taoist priest, sloppy, almost fifty or sixty years old, his beard and hair are all white, he stood in a clearing, his mouth was like a river, and said: "Walk by, take a look, take a look." You have to look carefully at my trick, see it clearly, and if you see the doorway, you can be rich and rich, and the blessings are unparalleled! ”
His left and right hands, each with a lot of silver coins, he tossed the silver coins into the air, and under the sun, the silver light was dazzling.
When he reached out to catch the silver, everyone saw that his hand was empty, and there was nothing.
"Hey, old Taoist, go on!" Someone tossed a one-dollar coin, and the coin flew in an arc in the air.
The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand to take it, but his hand was still empty, and there was no coin on the ground, and the coin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
The crowd around was very dense, and everyone thought it was interesting to see this scene, and for a while many people began to throw money, first throwing coins, and then throwing paper money when the coins were gone.
No matter what money he thrown, it flew near the Taoist priest, and as soon as he raised his hand, it all disappeared.
At first, it was one yuan, then five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, and even some people threw 100 yuan bills, and there was money all over the sky, but no matter how much money was thrown, the money seemed to evaporate out of thin air, and after a while, it was estimated that thousands of yuan had evaporated.
"Hey, this old Taoist priest has some doorways, interesting!" Shi Lin said on the side.
"Hey, old Taoist, are you still going to fucking tricks to grab money? If you keep doing this, will we still be able to do business? Just when the crowd was rising, they suddenly heard someone break off the shout, and the people who were setting up stalls next to them were impatient.
The old Taoist priest performed here, and everyone joined in the excitement and drowned out several stalls around it.
Shouting that this person is five big and three thick, with thick eyebrows and vertical eyes, and looks very fierce. There was also a bunch of thugs with him, and I think it should be a few people he just called, ready to drive people away!
The old Taoist priest is not a local, he made money here, and the locals saw that they were red-eyed, so they gathered people to come and find the ballast, and at least they drove people away, and at worst they had to extort a little money, which is not strange in this area.
Seeing a group of bastards coming, some timid people began to slowly retreat, while some people couldn't help but sweat for the old Taoist.
Shi Lin lowered his voice and said: "This old Taoist priest is in trouble, he doesn't look at what kind of place this is, the bastards outside this Xiangshan Temple and the monks in the temple are complicit, his old Taoist priest is making money outside the temple, that is not a taboo for others!" ”
Tang Xiao's expression was calm, he didn't retreat, his eyes were fixed on the field.
The old Taoist priest didn't panic, he smiled and threw his hand at a few people, and said, "A few are polite, I'll leave immediately, and say a few words to the donors before leaving." ”
"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, donors, today's poor road to the beginning of the treasure world, the donors have to give alms, the poor road is not grateful, so I invite everyone to eat a citrus feast, the right to thank you!" The old Taoist priest bowed his hand in all directions, and then took out an orange from his arms with a smile.
He placed the orange on the ground and covered it with a handful of soil.
Then he opened his mouth and blew softly.
With a "click", a small sapling came out of the soil.
"Oh my God!" In the crowd, someone exclaimed.
Then, the little sapling jumped up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths, it grew into a large orange tree.
The orange trees bloom and wither, then the fruit is ripe, and after a while, the red and large oranges hang all over the treetops.
This scene stunned the people around him, Shi Lin smashed his mouth on the side, and said: ", what kind of magic is this, it's too awesome, it's really an eye-opener today!" ”
The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand to pick an orange on the tree, threw it to the crowd, and said, "Eat oranges, eat them yourself, pick them yourself!" ”
"It's a real orange! And it's sweet! Someone in the crowd shouted, and the crowd rushed up, and everyone reached out to pick oranges, and the trees were all snatched up in a while.
This commotion, there was a big mess in the square, everyone went to grab oranges, who still paid attention to the old Taoist, and the bastards who were about to find ballast also lost their goals.
