Chapter 230, what a loss

Obituary side hall. 【No pop-up novel network】The deployment of the weeping armor is like an office like a reception room, there are two tables in the province, and there is a computer connected to the network cable on the table, which is for the incense case, and the side of the window is a yellow rosewood seat. In addition to the modern nature of the computer, the furniture and furnishings are antique.

There were also two more in the house, the young Taoist priest, as soon as the short-bearded Taoist priest entered the room, he said: "Yu Xuan, Dezhen, quickly make a good pot of tea for this donor, please sit down, listen to the poor Taoist slowly introduce you to the Dharma of this ancestral hall." ”

You Fang's attitude at this time made it clear that he wanted to be the big culprit, and the Taoist priest introduced it for a long time, and the more he said that the "project" was more expensive, and finally launched two top rituals. One charges 188,888, and the other charges 199,999.

This ritual needs to be presided over by Daoist Zhai Leng, the abbot of Benguan, and all Taoist priests will line up to chant sutras and pray for blessings. The incense pillar was lit by the tour party himself, and under the protection of all the mages, it was dedicated to the throne of the Dragon King, and the entire hall was to be cleared. When the ceremony is completed, the big bell outside the hall rings nine rings, and the You Fang personally supports the impact, and the copper pan in the hall also rings nine times, and is struck by Zhai Leng to symbolize the harmony of the dragon. It means that the Dragon King of the South China Sea has received an offering.

After the ceremony is completed, you will go to the beach to release a turtle accompanied by all the mages, as for the turtle dragon king temple has been prepared, there are dozens of pounds of weight, and I don't know where to buy it.

After the discussion, the middle-aged Taoist priest Cube went to find the master of the temple in a hurry, and it is said that the master of the temple happened to be free this afternoon, and at the same time asked Dezhen to prepare a meal. Guests will be served at noon. Although it was past lunch, You Fang claimed that he hadn't eaten lunch yet. It's just to go to the Dragon King's Temple to burn incense, so how can you make this distinguished guest hungry before the ceremony?

You Fang continued to stay in the side hall to drink tea, and the young Taoist priest named Yu Xuan looked at him and stopped talking. With a curious look, he asked: "This boss, donor, you are generous!" ”

You Fang hurriedly replied, "Worship the Dragon King." How can it be said to be generous? It can only be said to be respectful! , I won't tell you, my father is a fish farmer, and not long ago he encountered a big disaster and finally turned evil into good fortune. This time I came to Hainan to travel to Hainan and I specially went to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense and make vows, lest I not be pious enough. Besides, there are a lot of people in my family, and this time I worship the Dragon King. I hope to pray for everyone, even Guo Degang, who talks about cross talk, said that I can't make small money do big things, how can I be perfunctory? .

Yu Xuan hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, donor, you did the right thing!" ”

You Fang took advantage of the situation and asked, "In addition to this top-level ceremony, is there anything more important?"

Yu Xuan was stunned, and actually showed a wry smile: "Do you want to ask more expensive?" Yes, yes, the fee is 99.81 million, and the ritual process is similar. However, it is only celebrated on the first and fifteenth days of the new year or on the New Year's Day. The first pillar of incense and the morning bell and dusk drum are sounded by the abbot himself, so you need to make a reservation in advance

At this moment, the short-bearded Taoist priest invited the abbot of the Dragon King Temple, Daoist Zhai Leng, who also had the identity of one of the three inner hall elders of the Sand Elimination Sect, in charge of the secret method inheritance affairs within the sect.

Zhai Leng is less than fifty, and his figure is slightly blessed; His expression was calm and slightly cold, but he spoke modestly and politely, and his gestures were indeed very high-spirited.

As soon as You Fang saw the abbot and Taoist leader, his attitude was the same as seeing a living immortal, and he immediately said his thoughts, he must do the top-level Dharma that charges 810,000 yuan, and the meaning revealed between his words is clearly three words and no bad money!

How could the abbot refuse such a good thing, he told You Fang that the first day of the first month had passed, and he could make an appointment on the fifteenth of this month. As a result, you Fang was very embarrassed, saying that he still had a very important business to discuss, and it would definitely be too late to wait for the fifteenth day of this month, and tomorrow would be the eighth day of August, which was also a very rare auspicious day, so just tomorrow!

Unexpectedly, Abbot Zhai Leng refused, saying that he had an important Dharma meeting to attend and could not preside over such a ceremony. In fact, You Fang also knew in his heart that tomorrow was the time for the gathering in Wang Village in the South China Sea, and Cheng Leng was definitely going to go, and he couldn't stay in the Dragon King Temple. But his attitude was resolute. If it doesn't work tomorrow, then this afternoon, anyway, the ceremony is already being prepared, so let's just do a top-level ritual.

The morning bell and dusk drum can be struck again on the fifteenth day of this month. It is knocked for him, although today's pillar of incense is not the head incense, but it also represents the heart of the head incense. On the fifteenth day of this month, the abbot will pay a pillar of incense on his behalf. That's all I have to say. If you have money, you don't make money, you don't make it in vain, nine hundred and eighty-one thousand! Abbot Zhai Leng agreed with a smile, and he felt that he couldn't go.

Then Abbot Zhai Leng took the middle-aged Taoist priest named Dege to prepare for the ceremony, and the time for offering incense was set at three o'clock in the afternoon. After eating, the puja can begin. The two young Taoist priests, Dezhen and Yuxuan, accompanied You Fang to the dining hall to eat, of course, it was delicious and delicious.

During the meal, the little Taoist really asked a little shyly: "Donor, your surname?" ”

Generally, outsiders do not take the initiative to ask the name of the donor, but ask them to sign and leave a letter on the merit foil, symbolizing the meaning of good karma. Of course, the monks will also engrave the name of the donor on the stone tablet and bronze bell, as a kind of meritorious act, and many people spend money in the hope of leaving a name.

You Fang replied with a smile: "My surname is Mei, what is the matter?" ”

Dezhen was a little embarrassed and said, "The money will be collected after this ritual is completed, and it will be left in the gold book at that time, but can you pay some deposit now?" There are some things that need to be prepared for the ceremony, which are all procured from the spot,

A ritual of 99,810,000? That's! It's really a lucrative business, but You Fang must still need a cost to make such a big scene, if he doesn't pay after he finishes the rituals, who will the Taoist priests cry to? Collecting a deposit of 20,000 yuan is enough, not that I suspect that you can't afford to pay, but just in case. The abbot was embarrassed to say this, but it didn't matter if the little Taoist priest spoke.

You Fang smiled. took out 20,000 cash from his backpack and handed it to him: "It's a coincidence, I have this cash on me, but no one can go out with so much money, can I sign a check when I go back?" ”

Dezhen immediately nodded and said, "Yes, of course it's no problem!" "Then he took the money and went out.

There is no need to elaborate on the proceedings of this afternoon service. In short, it is very grand, and the incense burned by You Fang is thicker than an arm. Holding it in your hand is like a smoking torch! And the group of big and small Taoist priests in the Dragon King Temple are busy enough. After the ceremony, tea was drunk in a quiet living room in the backyard, accompanied by the abbot himself. Deshu brought two gold books, one large and one small.

These two booklets are very different from the two I saw before, a bit like the photo album of the wedding photo studio. Because each page is hard and thick, the difference is that the texture seems to be gilded. There aren't many pages. On the cover of the booklet is written "Golden Book of Merit of the Dragon King Temple of the Great and Small Caves, Tiannanhai", and there is also a small character under it: "Xin Mao Year (A.D. Li. "It turns out that it is not signed casually. There is only one volume a year.

The slightly larger booklet was left at the Dragon King Temple. It is said that it is to receive chanting and burning incense to pray for blessings, and there is a special place to worship smaller booklets, with very few pages. It is equivalent to a certificate, which you can take back to commemorate, and it can also be regarded as a certificate for carrying out this ceremony, and both booklets need to be signed by him personally.

The big golden book of merit was opened by Zhai Leng himself, and Dege handed over a pen with both hands. You Fang was slightly stunned when he took the booklet. After opening the booklet, only one person's name is left on the left and right pages, and the rest are prayers and rituals. Although Zhai Leng turned directly to this page, You Fang's eyes were very sharp, and he saw the name left by someone on the previous page that he had turned over. It is "Hong Kong Xiao Chang"

If You Fang remembers correctly, Xiao Yu once mentioned that her father was called Xiao Chang, which was really a coincidence!

You Fang signed both booklets. The booklet was put away by himself, and the large booklet was respectfully handed back to Abbot Zhai Leng, and a written check was attached to the booklet. Zhai Leng's expression became very strange when he took the booklet and check, and he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh, because You Fang's signature on the booklet was "Henan Meiland"

After a long time, Zhai Leng put down the booklet and stood up. He bowed down and clasped his fists tentatively: "May I ask if you are Mr. Rand, the predecessor of Fengmen?" ”

You Fang was slightly stunned, and also got up and replied, "Yes, it's me!" Are you "? ”

Zhai Leng and Dege on the side hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a long bow: "Mu Leng, the elder of the inner hall of the Sand Elimination Sect, brings his disciple Chen Dege to greet the seniors of Land!" I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I really don't know Taigong, today's thing,"

You Fang smiled and returned the salute, helped the two of them up and said, "Oops, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." No wonder I saw that the two Taoist masters were extraordinary, it turned out that they were really masters in the world, and I really found the right person for this Fa event! I planned to go to the fishing village of Nanhai tomorrow to worship the mountain. Unexpectedly, I met with two colleagues today. What a fate! "The two colleagues are older than me, so you don't need to call me senior."

Zhai Leng was ashamed, turned his head and glared at the apprentice fiercely, embarrassed and almost embarrassed. Pointing to the golden book on the table, he said, "Senior Rand, how did you come here to do things?" Without notice in advance, this is the dojo of my sand elimination faction! ”

You Fang replied, "Oh, I really didn't know beforehand! I had met Elder Liu Xiyan of your sect and two young fellow Daoists, Li Yimo and Chan Liqiang, in Songhe Valley, but they didn't tell me. "But isn't that better? I was planning to do a ritual and be presided over by a master of the Sand Elimination Sect, which was naturally the icing on the cake. ”

You Fang is telling the truth and lying, he doesn't know the disciples of the Sand Elimination Sect, he has seen three of them in Songhe Valley and said hello. But at that time, he was the center of everyone's attention on that occasion, and he didn't have time to talk about it too much, and he didn't even talk about the gathering in the Nanhai fishing village, and Elder Liu Xiyan naturally didn't tell him that the Dadong Heavenly Dragon King Temple was where the inner hall of the Sand Elimination Sect was located.

As for the invitation sent by Jiang Sha to the Jianghu Fengmen, it only talked about the gathering in the South China Sea Slag Village on the Yalong Peninsula. didn't specifically say where the inner hall of his sect was, which was completely unnecessary. If Zhang Liubing hadn't told You Fang in private, he really wouldn't know!

In today's trouble, Chen Dege, the deacon of the inner hall of the sand elimination faction and also a confidant of the Dragon King Temple, set a threshold to fish for loopholes, which was originally a matter of a few hundred yuan of sesame oil money, but it ended up fishing on Mr. Rand's head. And You Fang came up along the threshold, set up a ladder by himself, and held a 99,810,000-level ceremony, as if the sand elimination faction wanted to deliberately cheat him out of money.

This money is not collected, nor is it returned. The golden book of merit has been left with a name, and the name can never be erased again, the ceremony itself should be solemn and serious, and the golden book cannot be destroyed. After all, it was a real ritual, and of course, as the abbot of the Taoist temple, Leng couldn't joke around, and it was impossible for You Fang not to pay.

However, Mr. Rand's attitude diluted the embarrassment of the scene, saying that he was here to do things. I met a fellow sand removal faction, and it was fate! After chatting for a long time at the Dragon King Temple, talking about the gathering in the fishing village of the South China Sea tomorrow, Zhai Leng asked where You Fang lived, early tomorrow morning... There was no customer to send a car, so he told the wine office where he lived: it was good to send the car to the door and call him again.

When he said goodbye, Zhai Leng sent You Fang to the door of the Taoist Temple, and asked Mr. Rand what else he had to say? You Fang thought for a while and said: "I saw a shop selling gourds in the scenic area, and the painting is not an ordinary handiwork, it seems to have traces of a secret method. Now think about it, it should be a shop opened by the sand elimination pie, right? ”

Zhai Leng: "Mr. Rand is really good eyesight. It was the place of my sand elimination faction, and it was run by my junior brother Yong Wanhua. ”

You Fang smiled: "No wonder, even I was very interested in seeing it, I bought a lot of gourds, it is not easy to get on the road, if it is convenient, can you help me get the hotel together?" Thank you! ”

Zhai Leng hurriedly replied: "Mr. Rand is too polite, it's just a trivial matter, how can you say thank you?" ”

As soon as You Fang walked on the front foot, Zhai Leng called Yong Wanhua with a phone call. After Yong Wanhua came, he realized that the person who bought the twenty-eight gourds just now was actually Mr. Rand! This matter is just that, and Chen Dege actually looked away in the Dragon King Temple, regarded the person as a young and wealthy wronged man, pulled him over for a flicker, and did a first-level ritual.

As a result, Mr. Rand did what he did, and the money was given. And then just left, everyone in the sand elimination faction was so embarrassed that they couldn't help it! Guess Leng wanted to scold his apprentice, but he didn't know how to scold, because he also had a share in this matter. I didn't expect it at all.

Yong Wanhua hesitated and asked: "Since you know where your predecessor lives, let's send him these gourds tonight, and return the money in private, maybe it's easier to say." ”

The raccoon said in a cold tone: "What do you mean by this, people lack this money?" It's just looking for a Taoist temple to pray for blessings, so wouldn't it be more embarrassing? As for those gourds, alas one! He let out a long sigh. Yong Wanhua: "How did the gourd survive?" ”

Tanuki Leng: "It's okay if you don't know, now it's clear, are you embarrassed to send those waste gourds to others again?" When I arrived at Nanhai Fishing Village tomorrow, Mr. Rand looked at the feng shui gourd taken out by our sand elimination faction, which was obviously not the same thing. Then he sighed and waved his hand: "I want to be in charge, and I can only take twenty-eight feng shui gourds and give them to Mr. Rand." ”

Yong Wanhua: "A complete set of 28 houses of feng shui wall bureau gourd? We're at a loss! ”

The mule scolded: "What is the loss? Did they just talk to us about the loss? made such a joke, but fortunately, Rand's predecessors didn't care, and everyone stepped down. He didn't say anything. But we took the 810,000, if it spreads, what will it matter? No wonder Mr. Rand! ”

Yes, how can you blame You Fang for this, people go into the temple to burn incense according to the rules, how expensive the Dharma is to do how expensive the Dharma is, if you still suffer a loss. That can only be blamed on the Dragon King Temple, which does not have more expensive level rituals. And Mr. Rand didn't ask for anything when he left. is to ask them to help deliver the gourd they just bought to the hotel, as for what kind of real reed to send to the sand removal party, it is the sand removal faction's own business.

Some secret artifacts can't be calculated in the usual way, how much is a feng shui gourd? That's the brainchild of a master, and ordinary people can't process it with more labor, except for this cost, it itself may be very cheap. The most rare thing is that ordinary people have nowhere to buy if they want to spend money.

Yong Wanhua frowned and said: "For this gathering in Nanhai Slag Village, dozens of feng shui gourds have been prepared. But if you take out twenty-eight at once and give them to Mr. Rand, it won't be enough! And you can't get a complete set, huh? ”

Mule Leng: "Of course, the party preparation is not enough, and there is no need to use those, you can take the collection of the inner hall of the door and send it to him, if you can't make up the whole set, you will speed up the production of what is missing in the next few days." Make an excuse to delay for a few days, and say that your clerk accidentally broke the gourd. ”

Speaking of this, the elder himself suddenly laughed: "This Mr. Rand, at a young age, does have the demeanor of a senior master, he may not know that the Dragon King Temple is where the inner hall of my sand elimination sect is located, but his actions are quite game-like."

We will do so, if it is preached. It's going to be a good story, you know? ”

You Fang's "Mangyi" is really worth it! Although it cost 810,000 yuan, it was exchanged for a complete set of 28 feng shui wall bureau gourds. This kind of gourd can be purchased from the sand elimination faction or bartered in the Nanhai Dancun gathering, but it is impossible for him to buy so much alone, not only because of money. So many fellow Jianghu people are present, and if others want to buy it, he can't do it all, and he is even more embarrassed to fight for something with a group of juniors.

What's more, it is not possible to put together a complete set on that occasion, and they are very useful for the study of Feng Shui Huan in the field. Is it intentional? It can only be said that it is between intentional and unintentional. It's just going with the flow, but he can think of it.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiyan, an elder of the sand elimination faction who had seen Youfang, personally picked him up in front of the hotel, and it was Yan Liqiang, a disciple of Liu Xiyan, who drove the car, and as soon as they met, they saluted and apologized: "I really didn't know that Mr. Rand had come to Sanya." Yesterday I also went to the Dragon King Temple, where it is rude, please bear with me! ”

You Fang said with a smile: "Recently, there are many colleagues in various sects, and I know that your faction is very busy, and I am embarrassed to disturb, so I planned to visit again today, but I happened to meet a few colleagues in your faction yesterday, and it is difficult for you to come to pick me up so politely." ”
