Chapter 25: Choosing a Nickname for Dog Leftovers (2)

The breeze is blowing in the Taoist temple, and there are wild cats barking in the corner of the Taoist temple.

Yellow fur without a single stray hair.

There is a bell ringing in the Taoist pavilion, the wind blows, and Ding Ling rings.

Zhang Gong, "This Taoist temple is so dilapidated, is the old Taoist who told our children's fortunes really become a monk here?" The weeds in the yard are not cleaned up, and I think that the Taoist Dao method is not very high. ”

Zhang Chengsi, "Uncle don't doubt it, I heard my master say that everyone in the world is fascinated by the world, and fame and fortune are delusions in the heart, let go of the delusions in your heart, and everywhere is heaven." ”

Deng Chang, "My father said that people in the world are fascinated by fame and fortune, and if you have a ten-acre thin field when you are alive, and the annual surplus is enough for some family life, you should have everything you need, so you should have nothing else." ”

Zhang Chengsi, "If it weren't for getting married and having children, life would be good now." If I couldn't live a good life in those days, I might have become a monk here. The more tranquility, the less trouble. ”

Zhang Chengde, "This is the Nth time I've come, I can't imagine that the Taoist temple has changed like this now, the wind in our Taoist temple is different from the wind outside, the wind blows, which makes people exceptionally refreshing." Listen to the ringing of the bell, how crisp and pleasant. ”

Then the three of them laughed.

Zhang Gong, "That's how you fooled the people in the village? I think you're obsessed. ”

Zhang Chengde, Zhang Chengsi, and Deng Chang arrived at the main hall, just respectfully saluting.

Zhang Gong asked his grandson to kowtow to the main hall, "Grandson, come, kowtow to the gods." ”

Zhang Hatshui didn't know what a god was, but when he saw that there was a futon in the main hall, he knelt down and kowtowed.

The four of them entered the Taoist temple.

There was a Taoist priest who knew the guest, fourteen or fifteen years old, and he made fun of the four people, and he knew all three of them, "Little Taoist Lin has seen four donors. ”

The four of them made a joke, "The Taoist priest is invited." ”

Zhang Gong, "Dare to ask the little Taoist, your master Jia Tian is not at home, and the four of us want to see him." ”

Lin Guoyan said, "My master is at home, and he is doing things for the believers in the back hall, and I will lead you there." ”

In the apse, on the palace of the old king, there are futons, and many good men and women kneel outside the main hall.

The doors of the main hall are closed.

At the door, there is a statue of the Sanqing patriarch.

There is an offering table, and there are talismans around the offering table, on which are placed the fruits of the four seasons.

Behind the offering table is an old Taoist priest who is presiding over the puja.

He was about forty or fifty years old.

There was a chair beside him, and on it sat an older man, with a beard as white as snow, and he looked to be in his eighties.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was sitting on the Dharma platform at the moment, giving a lecture to the believers.

The four of them couldn't see clearly from a distance, but they got closer.

They also found that there were also court officials among the Taoist followers.

Dressed in official clothes and wearing a black veil on his head.

Among the believers, he neither knelt nor bowed.

Middle-aged Taoist priests preach the scriptures, and every time they talk about a key part of a chapter, they have to make a trick, and the officials have to rush to the presiding station and clench their fists.

The officer stood in the front row, his appearance was not clear, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a young man in his twenties.

The four of them came to the altar and, like the rest of the believers, knelt down on the futon.

After a long time, the puja ended.

The sky was also sunny.

The middle-aged Taoist priest said to the believers, "Ladies and gentlemen, today I came to my capital to observe the practice of Yuxuguan, which coincides with the Sanqing Christmas, you can write your blessings on the prayer bag and clip them on the Dharma rope, and you will be effective." ”

The believers clasped their fists and bowed their hands, and some people asked the middle-aged Taoist priest and the old Taoist about something.

Zhang Chengde and the five of them got up and looked around the jade void.

There are five-colored ropes around the palace of Taishang Laojun, and this rope is famous, called the blessing rope. Although there are not many believers, there are colorful notes tied to the prayer rope.

There is anything written on the note, the title of the gold list, the early birth of a noble son, everything goes well, and all wishes come true.

There are also people who don't know what to pray for, but they just tie a magic bell to the prayer rope.

Although the four of them did not believe it, but the believers showed their sincerity, Zhang Chengde and the four of them found a Taoist priest next to the puja.

The Taoist priest is writing blessing words to the believers.

When he saw Zhang Chengde and the four of them, he asked the four of them what they wanted to ask for.

The four of them said what they wanted to pray for.

Zhang Chengde, "I hope the whole family is healthy. ”

Deng Chang, "I hope the wind and rain will be smooth this year." ”

Zhang Chengsi, "If this year's harvest is good, I want to marry another daughter-in-law." ”

Some Taoist priests wrote the blessings of the four people on paper, and some Taoist priests hung them on the prayer ropes.

The jade void view blessing rope hangs around the Laojun Hall all year round, and it is not untied all year round.

At the end of the puja, the four of them did not leave, carrying gifts in their hands.

The old man has white eyebrows, a white beard, and white hair, this old man is none other than the Jade Void View of the original view of Xuanjizi.

He didn't feather that year, but it hurt a lot of Taoist priest Jia Tian.

Because he was too old, Xuanjizi gave up the position of the master to Jia Tian.

The jade void is not big, but a few rooms are idle, because the Tang Dynasty officials and troops fought with the feudal town a few years ago.

Some people in the capital were afraid of being arrested to become soldiers, so they entered the Tao and became a monk in Yuxuguan.

Taoist priests are also used to idleness.

Jia Tian is also a person who is dedicated to Taoism, not good at management, although there are Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, there is still no one to clean the weeds in the Taoist temple.

When I saw the four people, the old man just laughed, he was too old, he was already confused, and when he saw the four people, he just had an impression, and he couldn't tell who they were.

He opened his mouth and just smiled, and there were not a few teeth left in his mouth, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Chengsi, "Master, I am Zhang Chengsi, they are my brothers of the Zhang family, we have repaired the door of our Taoist temple and repaired the wall." ”

The old Taoist priest just grinned.

Jia Tian hugged his fists and smiled at everyone, "A few believers are here well, my master still thought of you a few days ago, and said that in those years, he came to repair the wall for us, why haven't the believers who repaired the door come yet." Now that you have come, he does not recognize you. ”

Zhang Chengde, "Since our Zhang brothers joined the church, we have gone to the capital to sell the surplus grain at hand when we have nothing to do, and now our lives are getting better and better." I think I was blessed by our Taoist gods. Today we are here with Uncle Zhang. ”

Jia Tian looked carefully, recognized Zhang Gong of the Zhang family, and saluted Zhang Gong with a fist.

Zhang Gong was also surprised when he saw the old Taoism in the Taoist temple, in ancient times, there were very few people who could live to be over eighty years old.

In my heart, I was very respectful to the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple.

Yan said, "The little old man of the Zhang family has seen the Jade Void View of the High Dao. ”

Then he asked Jia Tian, "Who is this old Taoist priest?" ”

Jia Tian, "This is my master, the Taoist name Xuanjizi, who was originally the master of my family's jade void view, because he was too old, he gave me the position of the master." ”

Zhang Gong, "Dare to ask, how old is your old Taoist priest?" I look like I'm 80 years old. ”

Jia Tian, "Dare to ask Zhang Jushi, my master is now eighty-three, and one more month is my master's birthday, and another birthday will be eighty-four." ”

Zhang Gong went to the old man, "Hello old Taoist." ”

Xuanjizi, "Hello me, are you?" ”

Zhang Gong, "Little Lao'er Woniu Village is Zhang Gong in the original village, we are here to watch the excitement." ”

Xuanjizi didn't hear clearly, "What are you guys here for?" ”

Zhang Gong, "We're here to see the excitement." ”

Xuanjizi, "Are you here to offer incense?" The incense is in the incense hall, you go there and please. ”

A few people are happy.

At this time, one of the believers did not leave, but came to the side of a few people, who were wearing official uniforms and official black veils on their heads.

Although he is not a Taoist, he has his own fairy wind bones.

He also laughed when he heard a few people talking.

Xuanjizi asked him, "Which one are you?" ”

Chong hugged a few people, "Yang Budo in Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty, I gave a few gifts." ”
