Chapter 18: The Miraculous Master of Joy

The old lady's husband's surname is Zhang, because she is a relative, and the relationship between Grandma Du and Grandma Du is much closer, so she immediately took Grandma Du's hand and sighed: "I have long heard Xiu'e say that the old lady of the butcher family in Dujia Village is a blessed person, and now I see your grandson who is a slippery child, but my wife is red." ”

Grandma Zhang's two sons have become married, but in the past few years, her eldest daughter-in-law has added two little dolls, a boy and a woman, and the Du family is almost all men at a glance, and there is no comparison at all.

Grandma Du smiled and praised the other party's children for being well-behaved and cute, and beautiful, and after Grandma Zhang stopped pulling her grandson to sigh, she quietly changed the topic.

"I heard that the joyful master is spiritual, and my second grandson has gone to serve in labor, and I ask the Buddha to bless him and come back."

Labor is obviously a very resonant topic, and Grandma Zhang really changed the subject.

"My eldest son also went to serve in labor, the emperor is really a great Ming monarch, in the past, it was good to serve in labor without losing half of his life, and this time he was able to send back a few hangs of money from time to time for our old couple to buy food. Ay! This time the labor is good, but the time is too long, and the people will be put back for two days during the New Year, and they will leave before they have raised meat. ”

Grandma Du also sighed, her second grandson's hard-earned money didn't know how to put it away, and Baba took it back for the whole family to use, and she panicked when she thought about it.

Thinking of their sons and grandsons who were still working in the distance, the two old ladies lost interest in the topic of servitude.

Grandma Zhang quickly adjusted herself, "Good sister, let me tell you, Master Xile is really amazing!" Originally, I thought that the master was just famous, but I didn't expect it to be a monk with real skills! Yesterday we came with several families from the village, and one of them got the eye of the master, and the master gave him a piece of satin, and the family immediately knelt down and shouted the Buddha's apparition.

Because his family has a talented son, in order to provide for his son to study, the hole in the family is not small, and his son has not slowed down in the past few years when he was admitted to Xiucai, and his life is not easy.

Xiucaigong's mother thought that her son would go to Fucheng to catch the exam, afraid that her son would be looked down upon, so she wanted to make decent clothes for the child, but the family really couldn't come up with the money, and the mother could only feel sorry for her son in her heart. When I went up the mountain, I heard that many families came with grain cloth, and Xiucai Niang thought that it would be good if her family could be blessed by Master Xile and give some good cloth, but she didn't expect the master to really look at her and let people give a silk cloth directly! ”

Grandma Du also shouted when she heard this, the Zhuang family works every day, who will be idle and have nothing to do and wear silk clothes, even if Master Xile knows that the son of the family is Xiucai, he will not know that people want clothes. In a word, the Master of Joy is God!

When Grandma Zhang spoke, many people next to her came to listen, and a group of people sighed at the magic of Master Joy, and immediately someone shared the story they knew.

Master Xile let a villain who killed someone voluntarily surrender in a word, Master Xile told a certain man that your son is not your species, and a certain man's wife admitted that a certain man had been wearing a hat for many years under the boundless inspiration of Master Xile's Buddhism, and that the husband of a certain old lady had been missing for many years, and Master Xile asked her to go down the cliff in the mountain behind the village to look for it, and sure enough, she found it.

The things with names and surnames are said one by one, and all kinds of promises are believable, and soon many people who are in a state of curiosity or wait-and-see directly turn into brainless fans.

Waiting for the story to be almost over, the crowd slowly moved forward, and soon the Du family rose from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

"Boom! Boom! ”

The long, long, bell echoed through the mountains, and the crowd stopped moving.

The Joy Master opened the altar twice a day, and each time there were about 500 people. Although the people of the Du family were not lined up here yesterday, fortunately, they came in the dark, and they couldn't catch up with the first wave, so it was proper to catch up with the afternoon festival.

The hill where the Shanshui Temple is located is not high, and it is only more than 30 meters at most.

The mountain is not high, the road is not steep, and the stone road more than two meters wide is lined with rows of thick pine trees, and further down is the original forest. At this time, everyone in the Du family sat on the stone slab in the shade of the tree, waiting for the end of the first round of puja.

There were too many pilgrims going up the mountain, and Shanshui Temple couldn't stand at all, so in the end they could only line up in a long line along the mountain road.

"It's back!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and soon Du Zhili and Du San and Du Si appeared in everyone's sight.

Du Zhili and the three of them just followed Xiao Shani to put the things they brought, and as soon as the three of them sat down panting, Du Si and Du Zhizhong began to talk about what they had seen and heard on the mountain.

"Yikes! There was no one in the temple on the mountain, and the little monk said that the master did not live in the Shanshui Temple, but in the valley behind the temple. We left our stuff on the mountain, and we couldn't go to the back of the mountain, so unfortunately, maybe we met the master. A trace of pity flashed on Du Zhizhong's face, and he soon became cheerful again: "You didn't see it, a backyard on the mountain is full of stoves, and the little monk said that he would eat at noon!" It's all soft white-flour steamed buns, and they smell delicious! ”

The Du family, a butcher with land, a car and a house, although he does not eat meat every day, is not starving. There are too many children in the family, thieves can eat, even if the family grows a few acres of land, it is not enough to eat after paying taxes every year, in order to save food, the usual rice and steamed bread are eaten with miscellaneous grains, and pure rice and white flour steamed bread are eaten several times a month.

"I also saw buns, so big!" Du Zhizhong gestured the size of the bun with both hands, "The little monk said that it was filled with cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and vermicelli tofu!" It's definitely delicious!. ”

The delicacies described by Fourth Brother Du came soon.

Towards noon, the sturdy monks came down from the mountain carrying buckets of food, and the smell of the food made the stomachs of the waiting people growl. But no matter how hungry he was, no one went up to rob him, and obediently waited for the big monks to give him food.

Two big white steamed buns for one person, a big bowl of smorgasbord stew, if you don't have enough to eat, you can also get a vegetable steamed bun mixed with white flour. Du Xiaoxi and a few little brothers plus little nephews also got a sweet tofu brain because of their young age.

As we eat, people keep coming down the mountain path. Most of these people looked pity, and a few were surrounded by the crowd and said something excitedly.

The people who were sitting on the side of the road and waiting saw it, and they also followed it, and finally there were more and more people, the mountain road was blocked, and the flowers and plants on the side of the road were also trampled on a lot, and the monks in the temple came to persuade the crowd to slowly disperse.

The crowd also understood why those people were blocked.

They are all destined people chosen by the Master of Joy.

The puja is held twice a day, with no less than 500 people at a time, and no matter how strong the Master of Joy is, it is impossible to say a word to everyone. can be favored by the master of joy, and the person who speaks gradually becomes a destined person in the hearts of everyone. Of course, this fate is not necessarily a good fate, but it may also be a bad fate, such as the murderer who voluntarily surrendered after being fooled by the Master of Joy.

There is no rule for the joyful master to choose destined people, and he may leave a dozen or twenty people at once, and there may not be a single one of the hundreds of people who is pleasing to the eye. Because of this, every time some destined people come out, these people will always be surrounded by people and ask this and that.

A new wave of magical stories from the Master of Joy strikes again.
