Chapter Forty-Six: Flipping the Fake Operator and Hammering the Performing Monk (I)
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, a day for the family to reunite and eat the year-end dinner.
After a dinner, the new year will turn the page in half a month.
However, tonight, Jiang Xiaobai did not cook at home, but took a ferry to Sanshui County, dozens of miles away.
There is no other reason, Hatsune pouted the little girl Jiang Xiaolu and said that she would go to Sanshui County to see the Lantern Festival lanterns and take her to eat delicious food, and the little girl happily agreed.
Then the two of them chattered non-stop next to Jiang Xiaobai's ear, and Jiang Xiaobai agreed.
Because the provincial capital has been building a tourist province and city in recent years, coupled with the rich ethnic characteristics of 100,000 mountains, Sanshui County, which is dozens of miles away, has become a famous national viewing point.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a grand Lantern Festival, coupled with the customs and characteristics of various ethnic groups, naturally attracting a large number of tourists, many tourists inside and outside the province will be famous at this time.
At this time, the sky was dusk, and the sunset on the west mountain dyed the clouds on the horizon red, like surrounding the pale red silk, rendering out.
Sanshui County, there are three rivers running through it, and the name is easy to understand.
Three people and a dog, walking on the stone road along the Emerald River in Sanshui County.
In the cold spring, the weeping willows along the coast are only bare branches, and the jade river is still clear and pale green, like a jade belt.
Jiang Xiaobai hugged the little girl, watching the bustle along the coast, rows of food stalls, lantern stalls, all kinds of souvenir sellers have begun to open, and various mountain people and tourists with distinctive ethnic characteristics have shuttled like a stream.
At dusk, it's already crowded.
Jiang Xiaobai hugged the little girl and slowly shuttled through the crowd, but Rhubarb followed unhurriedly.
Hatsune, on the other hand, is like a butterfly bouncing around the stalls along the shore, so uncomfortable.
Here, there are dozens of ethnic snacks, such as mutton skewers and finger meat of the Hui nationality, Mao Xuewang and torch meat of the Zhuang nationality, artichoke baba and bamboo tube stuffed chicken miscellaneous of the Miao nationality.......
People take food as the sky, and the food color is also, and the word food is the head.
Hatsune's eyes lit up when she saw a variety of snacks and lingered in front of various food stalls.
Needless to say, Jiang Xiaolu naturally has a share, but rhubarb has a mouthful, Hatsune knows that rhubarb is an inseparable part of this family, and every time she buys it, she has to give it two bites.
The "smack" sound of the dog's mouth biting is very comfortable to eat!
The pet dogs and stray dogs along the road looked at this single Wang, all sticking out their tongues, revealing envy and spring breath.
Rhubarb is cold, he only plays with the old black couple.
The three of them strolled around the lively River Street and ate ethnic food at the same time, which was very pleasant, but it was a little more lively than before.
Jiang Xiaobai has a slow temperament and won't do much. When Hatsune came, the nature of the girl's family slowly opened, and the atmosphere was much more lively.
In the past, Jiang Xiaobai took the fawn out, and the fawn could only play with rhubarb, but now that she has Sister Hatsune, Rhubarb's dog has become lonely as snow.
While strolling around, the sky is getting dark, the lights are gradually brightening, and there are more crowds of people.
Now is the most gorgeous moment of the lanterns, and I barely walked a few steps, which is the stall selling the lanterns.
All kinds of appearances, gorgeous and colorful, there are batteries installed, there are lamps and candles, there are phoenixes and dragons carved on the pen, flowers, grasses, insects and fish.
The three of them walked to the square by the river, which was bustling with activity.
The crowd was divided into two circles, and gongs and drums were beating, and muttering chants echoed.
Jiang Xiaobai stood far away, looked at it fixedly, and raised his eyebrows.
A bunch of monks, and a bunch of Taoist priests, are dividing the altar practice!
The monks are performing arts, the Taoist priests are praying for blessings, and the monks are still in the same square, and the noise seems to be more lively than anyone else.
Jiang Xiaobai frowned when he saw it, especially when he saw the imperial flags of the group of Taoist priests worshipping the sky, his brows furrowed even tighter.
It is stated in the "High Jade Emperor's Collection of Scriptures - Sutras and Rituals": "Whoever uses the Jade Emperor's holy name to write on the long flag, hangs it high in the air, gets the spirit seal, and gets immeasurable blessings......"
Among them, the imperial flag is to use a long yellow cloth, the holy name of the Jade Emperor is written, and there is a red cloth below to make the banner foot, and the red cloth is divided into five streamers, and the head end of each strand is knotted into a small ball with copper wire, symbolizing the "five thunders".
And on the square, the four streamers of the emperor were hanging in the air, and the group of Taoist priests were still singing scriptures with gongs and drums, I don't know what it was.
"Master, look over there, it's so lively, let's go and have a look. ”
Hatsune saw that there were a lot of people over there, the gongs and drums were noisy, humming, and pulling Jiang Xiaobai to see the excitement.
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, and followed.
The huge square, on the east and west sides, each has an area with a diameter of about ten meters, on one side is a bunch of Tsing Yi monks, and on the other side is a bunch of black-robed Taoist priests.
On the monk's side, several monks sat in a row on both sides, meditating with their palms together, a few monks in yellow robes in the middle, and a "plump" monk in the middle was still holding a megaphone.
Wearing a red robe, he should be the abbot, but he looks awkward with a megaphone.
I only heard the abbot of the robe say into the loudspeaker:
"Today, the monks of my Yunshan Temple go out to pray for the blessing of the people and chant the scriptures, point to the edge of creation, you can pray for blessings for those who are confused, find the monks of my temple to solve their doubts, and will give a Buddha beads to protect the health of the people of the Buddha's fate....."
And it seems that in order to show that the people in their temple have real skills, they even let the monks perform iron head skills, iron cloth shirts, and sharp spears to pierce the throat. The humming sound really attracted a lot of tourists.
There are also many people who form groups with their families and find temple monks to solve their doubts.
The donor went to sit down, and then said some worldly troubles, or something, and then the "high monk" said a lot of Buddhist verses that sounded mysterious and mysterious, and finally the donor felt that it sounded so reasonable, and took a string of Buddhist beads with a happy face, threw one or two hundred pieces into the merit box placed in a big conspicuous position on the table of the "high monk", and then closed his luggage, thanked him and left.
Jiang Xiaobai was in the crowd, listening to the Buddha verses that the "puzzle-solving monk" said to several donors, and he was speechless, and the few Buddhist verses said by the other party were all wrong, not the original text of the Buddhist scriptures.
This level also gives people a puzzle!
Moreover, there are four so-called "high monks" sitting solemnly there to solve people's doubts, and the donor changes one for a minute or two, and the money in the merit box is getting fuller and fuller.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly thought of the old monk Kongming.
It's really a wine and meat monk in the temple, an ascetic Buddha in the mountains!
Jiang Xiaobai was really not interested, and he was about to leave when he saw a group of fake Buddhas selling ugly.
He turned around and found that Hatsune, who was holding Jiang Xiaolu just now, was gone.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't panic, blew his whistle, and immediately a dog barked next door, and then Rhubarb came running over in the scattered crowd.
Later, under the leadership of Rhubarb, Jiang Xiaobai came to the Taoist priest field on the other side.
And this guy Hatsune is sitting on a chair, looking for an old Taoist priest to tell fortunes.
(The second constant, the third more...) Let's see if there is a little bit, everyone should rest early, the code word is as slow as a dog!)
