Chapter 0285: The Ancient Ancestral Hall Bell Rings
The middle-aged driver led the crowd into the entrance is neither the main entrance nor the back door of the ancestral hall, but the so-called staff entrance, a very remote small iron door, is a secret lock, the lock part is covered by iron sheets, can not be knocked on from the outside, everyone just arrived, only to see a loyal and honest uncle rushed out of the inside, and opened the door quickly after a glance outside.
Soon the door was locked again, and the middle-aged driver did not follow in, but shouted outside the door: "Remember where to wait just now in two hours." ”
The honest uncle who opened the door inside also followed: "I remember that you have never seen me, and you will be in the lobby along this path." Saying that, the uncle ran away like a thief.
Zhang Heng was dumbfounded, is this okay? This is obviously fare evasion.
Perhaps seeing his appearance, cousin Guo Chunyan explained aloud: "All scenic spots are like this, just like the Pagoda Mountain in the east, you can watch the lantern exhibition for free if you buy a flower and bird ticket, and it costs twice as much to buy two things alone; There is also a large scenic spot outside Qingcheng Mountain, the ticket is also sixty, if you are willing to go to the mountain farmhouse accommodation and dinner, this master can take you to copy the small road up the mountain free admission; It's the same road as making a car, the train is out of tickets, you just need to find a ticket seller, give 20 yuan to get you on the bus, or run to the back door refund office and shout a few times, maybe you can buy a cheaper ticket; The bus is out of tickets, you sneak into the passenger office and wait, there will always be a time when a certain train is missing, the conductor calls, and you go up. There is nothing in this outside society that is absolutely impossible, the rules are dead, and the love is driven by interests but alive. ”
After Guo Chunyan finished speaking, she patted his shoulder with her feet, and gave him an emotional look, as if to say, "Young man, you are still too tender!" ”
This made Zhang Heng even more dumbfounded, fortunately, everyone was noisy and noisy, and I heard everyone say that this Wuhou Temple is connected to Jinli Ancient Street, and Jinli doesn't need tickets, and when everyone finishes shopping around Wuhou Temple, they can go directly to the ancient street next door, but they can't wear it from the ancient street.
Because of this, while asking for tickets, while not asking for tickets, at the same time can meet customers of all consumption levels, and there is a street of collections outside, so that this place is full of tourists all year round.
Just a few steps away, everyone arrived at a hall, which has a statue of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, which is said to be an ancestral hall, but it is actually equivalent to a temple.
To Zhang Heng's surprise, there were a lot of tourists here, of course, it was impossible for them to come in evading tickets, that is, these tickets cost sixty yuan to come in, so he had to sigh, there is really a lot of money in the city, sixty yuan tickets, before the change, he would never have come in to see Lao Shizi Zhuge Liang.
"Brother, it's so beautiful here, it's much bigger than the temples on the mountain in our old village." My sister shouted happily.
Zhang Heng nodded, took his sister and looked left and right, planning to buy some snacks for his sister, but he only saw the sale of joyful balloons for the time being, this, it is estimated that my sister will not like it.
Since he came, he simply planned to buy some incense to worship, although he did not believe in superstition, but it did not affect the process of his completion of superstition, but as a result, he learned that a large incense, that is, the boss said that the high incense actually cost a hundred yuan, TMD why not to rob o, there are old farmers in the village to make their own incense to sell, the raw materials used are a kind of dark red grass everywhere in the mountains and forests, and a small incense, in the village grocery store retail sales are only five cents, children often buy some firecrackers to play, this is how many times the difference.
"Brother, this incense is so expensive." The younger sister pulled him aside and whispered, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, sure enough, it is not a family that can't enter the door.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Forget it, this incense will not be burned, and when you see a merit box in front of you, throw some change into it, and it will be regarded as a good deed, which is better than wasting money to burn incense." ”
"That's it, these are not Bodhisattvas, burn incense." The younger sister pouted.
Zhang Heng is love and love, took his sister's hand and caught up with the squad leader in front of him, went up a few steps and entered a lobby, all of them are almost the same statues, and they don't feel fresh after seeing them.
But the environment here is really quite good, antique, everything is full of ancient style, pavilions, lakes, carved railings, these pictures can only be seen on TV, you can find them here, and it makes him feel worthwhile.
As for what calligraphy and painting, he couldn't appreciate it, but when he saw that the squad leader saw it with relish, he had to accompany him patiently, and his sister was led by his cousin to kneel on the futon.
"Isn't this the teacher's table?" The squad leader pointed to the ancient characters on the wall and asked, well, he basically didn't know these words, so he could only find some simple words with some traces of modern words, and he couldn't read them at all.
"Probably." Zhang Heng replied honestly.
Fortunately, the squad leader knew his language level, smiled and revealed, and said: "My cousin said that there is actually nothing interesting in the ancestral hall here, and there are few young people, and the Jinli next door is more lively." ”
"Well, let's go to the front and bow down for a while." Zhang Heng pointed to the sculpture over there, many people were kneeling down, but it was not Zhuge Liang, but the famous second brother Wusheng Guan Yunchang, the third master Zhang Fei knelt in front of him, but the incense of the emperor Liu Bei was much worse, as for Zhuge Liang was holding a feather fan on one side, the incense was also thick, and there were even foreign countries who came to pay respects.
"Okay, cousin, they're over there, too." Xiao Yin looked up at his little face and shouted, not to mention how cute it was.
The temple in the village of Buddhism, mostly to put a merit box in front of the Bodhisattva statue, see you throw money, even if it is only five cents, its bell will ring the bell for you, a total of three times, with your three bows, accompanied by the bell This is a completed kneeling ceremony.
But in this lobby, although there is also a yellow bell, and there is also a wooden hammer wrapped in red cloth on it, but there is no entry to ring the bell, it seems that ordinary people are not qualified to do this, Zhang Heng has not seen the merit incense, maybe this is not a private temple, there is no oil and water to fish inside, and it is not so active, but he uses his mind to evade tickets and earn extra money.
It's not that he thinks of these monks and Taoists as too urban, it's just because the situation in the village is like this, and it's easy to do things in the temple if you have money.
For example, grandmothers usually save, but in temples and other places are willing to spend, each time they go to five yuan and ten yuan to the merit box, but on the way back and forth, they are reluctant to spend a dollar to take the car, which is also the style of most of the people in the village who believe in superstition in the elderly.
Perhaps it is precisely because of superstition that too many such old people are deceived and deceived, so that superstition has gradually become a righteousness, in fact, Zhang Hengzhi feels that the process of superstition is worth learning, because it continues the old tradition, and it is a pity to lose it, just like the primitive tribes, it is a major loss of civilization to evolve in the past.
"What are you thinking, the seat is vacant, let's bow down quickly, there is still entry in the back." Xiao Yin patted Zhang Heng's back, she found that she liked this action a little, and it felt very tactile to shoot.
Zhang Heng's waist has been, he knelt on the futon when he stepped forward, and the man had gold under his knees, but this was kneeling down to the ancient sages, and there was no psychological burden, the squad leader also knelt down happily on the side, and the younger sister waited or was looking at other statues, or was waiting for the two to kneel and continue to walk inside.
As soon as Zhang Heng put his hands together, he planned to bow down, in fact, this is the kneeling posture of Buddhism, but it has become a unified action of kneeling and worshipping, and it has become universal.
But before he could bow down, suddenly a hurried shout came from behind: "This little brother, please wait a while, let me ring the bell for you." ”
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and planned to see if He Jin had such a big face, he didn't ring the bell just now, why could he suddenly ring the bell again......
