Chapter 159: Danger in the Shadows
Qixia Temple, as a famous Buddhist temple in Tianshui country, incense has always been very prosperous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Especially today is the fifteenth day, there are a lot of believers who come to offer incense, and the whole temple is shrouded in green smoke under the incense flames.
Wu Tianrou, Wu Tianhua, and Wu Qianqiu, accompanied by Wu Zixu, slowly walked up the steps of the mountain temple with the flow of people, and after one hundred and eight steps, everyone went up to the temple.
On the incense and worship in the Guanyin hall, Wu Tianrou held three incense sticks in his hand, knelt in front of Guanyin and closed his eyes to pray. I whispered a message in my heart, and then slowly opened my eyes. After inserting the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, Wu Tianrou knelt down again and bowed three times sincerely.
In her previous life, Wu Tianrou scoffed at worshiping the Buddha and worshiping the Buddha, she was a young lady, and she couldn't chase the **** all day long, where was there anything to believe in.
But since she was reborn, Wu Tianrou firmly believed that there were gods and Buddhas in the world, otherwise how could she be reborn, it must have been the gods and Buddhas who saw her unwillingness, so she gave herself a chance to start over.
Because of this, Wu Tianrou also began to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha in this life, of course, she can't be as pious as Mrs. Wu.
More often, she regards incense and worship Buddha as a kind of psychological sustenance. Because there are many things that she can't say to others, she can only tell Guanyin silently in her heart.
The incense is finished. Wu Tianrou, Wu Tinghua, and Wu Qianqiu stood up, and Wu Zixu was waiting for them outside the hall, and handed over tributes and sesame oil money to the monks by the way.
"After the incense, don't rush back today, we can go back after eating vegetarian food."
After handing over things with the monks, Wu Zixu looked up and saw Wu Tianrou and the three of them walking out of the crowd.
"Ah, great, since you don't have to go home early, how about we go to the back mountain to have a look? I've heard that the sea of flowers on the mountain behind this Qixia Temple is a must. ”
As soon as Wu Tianqiu heard Wu Zixu's words, he immediately said happily.
Now in the Wu family, all the sons and ladies, regardless of their concubines, are all close, except for Wu Chengcheng, of course. Although Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu didn't know Wu Tingcheng's true face, the two of them instinctively rejected Wu Tingcheng and kept a certain distance from her.
"There are a lot of believers today, and there should be a lot of vegetarian fasters, so let's stay and eat vegetarian fasts, okay?"
Raising his eyes and looking at the crowd of people coming in and out around him, Wu Tianhua asked softly.
There are too many people around, at least there must be thousands of people, and if so many people stay to eat vegetarian food, not to mention whether the temple has prepared so many vegetarian food, even the temple hall is not that big.
"Hehe, you can rest assured. When there are many people, the temple hall will distribute vegetarian food in batches, so that everyone will not go in and eat at once.
Besides, look at the people who are dressed up as poor, whether they all carry a small cloth bag, which is their own dishes and chopsticks.
They will use their own dishes and chopsticks, go to the dining hall to line up to receive food, and then take them out to find a place to eat by themselves, they will not crowd into the dining hall to eat,"
Smiling at Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu, Wu Tingrou raised his hand and pointed to a few old men in patched clothes who walked not far away.
"It turns out that there are so many people to say, alas, then why do I still see a lot of old people and children, and why did they go to the dining hall without incense?"
Looking around with interest, Wu Tianhua suddenly asked strangely.
"Master Kongzhi, the presiding officer of Qixia Temple, is a virtuous monk, and he saw that there were many old people and children in the village under the mountain who could not eat at all, so he made a big promise to allow the lonely old people and orphans in the village under the mountain to eat in the temple.
Because of his kindness, he saved many poor people who almost starved to death. This also attracts more poor people who come here, so there are more and more elderly people and children here. ”
After all, Wu Tinghua and Wu Qianqiu knew better, so Wu Tingrou patiently explained to them one by one.
"I see, then this Master of Empty Wisdom is really a kind-hearted person, but he wants to save so many people, how much does it cost, can he afford to raise this temple?"
Wu Tianqiu turned his head to look at Wu Tianrou and Wu Zixu, with a puzzled expression.
Although this Qixia Temple looks very big and the incense is also very strong, after all, most of the pilgrims are ordinary people, almost just kowtowing to the pillar incense, and the people who really give money for sesame oil are a minority after all.
"Haha, this kind of thing is not for you to worry about, the host master will naturally deal with it. Besides, even if there are many people, you will not be allowed to go to the dining hall to eat with a group of people, and there are a few small dining halls in Qixia Temple, just to facilitate some pilgrims with more female dependents. ”
Reaching out and patting Wu Qianqiu's head, Wu Zixu couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, it's still early, I don't think you will be hungry, so let those who haven't eaten eat eat first. So, where do you want to go first? Go to Houshan Flower Sea or go to the lay house to rest? ”
"I'm going to see the sea of flowers, I came in too much hurry last time, and I don't have time to go to the back mountain."
Rubbing his forehead that had been slapped by Wu Zixu, Wu Qianqiu glared at him, and then hurriedly said.
"Okay, then let's go to Houshan Flower Sea first, there are too many people here. After they have eaten vegetarian food, there should be a lot of people going down the mountain and going back, and then the temple will not be so chaotic. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Tianrou also agreed to go to Houshan for a walk first.
The sea of flowers in the back mountain, that place is still Wu Tingrou's previous life to go more times, this life has been reborn so far, except for the time when he came to Qixia Temple with his family a year ago, because he followed Wu Tingcheng to the edge of the mountain at will, he never came again.
Since it was decided, everyone didn't say anything more, and all of them took the maids and attendants, turned around and walked towards the back mountain.
When the figures of Wu Tianrou and the others disappeared on the mountain road that turned to the back mountain, a figure turned out from behind an old tree in the distance.
"Sure enough, it's here, but there are too many people, it's not very convenient."
With the whisper of a male voice, the figure gradually walked out of the shade of the tree and revealed its true face, but it turned out to be Situ Jingxuan.
It turned out that he had betrayed Wu Tianrou again and informed Situ Jingshuo of her movements.
Situ Jingshuo rode over, naturally faster than Wu Tianrou and the others who were in the carriage, so they quickly rushed to Qixia Temple.
Hidden in the dark, observing the movements of Wu Tianrou and the others, Situ Jingxuan's face brought a sneer.
"Since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame me." (To be continued.) )
