Compared with the township examination, the number of people eliminated in the general examination is smaller, and the admission rate is higher.

And once you try to become a tribute, it is equivalent to getting a Jinshi place steadily.

Because the temple test of the Ming generation is only ranked second, and it is not brushed.

Of course, the low elimination rate of the test is only relative to the township test, and the competition itself is also very cruel.

Anyway, after the most critical first exam, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Ning Xiu and Liu Weining had a hearty drink, and they also had a good rest in the next two days.

The next two exams were also uneventful, and Ning Xiu finished answering the questions step by step, with an extremely peaceful mentality.

"Brother Ning Xian, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now."

Liu Weining was obviously not a candidate for a big scene like Ning Xiu, and he was really relieved when he left the Gongyuan after the third exam.

"Yes, there is still half a month before the release of the list, so you can indeed have a good look."

Ning Xiu had read the scenery of Dijing in his previous life, and he had a certain understanding of the famous places in the Ming Dynasty, but after all, this was only learned from books, and it was naturally best if he could see it with his own eyes.

Liu Weining praised again and again: "Then let's go to Tanzhe Temple." ”

"Tanzhe Temple?"

Ning Xiu was slightly surprised. There are so many places to visit in this city, so why go out of the city?

"Go make a wish, ask for a sign, it is said that the sign of Tanzhe Temple is the most spiritual."

Liu Weining seemed to see what Ning Xiu was thinking, and said directly.

"Oh? What does Brother Liu want to make? ”

Ning Xiu's lips furled and asked lightly.

"Well...... this Liu Weining's expression was quite embarrassed, and he rubbed his palms and said, "Let's not talk about it for now, otherwise it won't work." ”

Ning Xiu coughed and laughed dryly, but he didn't say much.

He is no stranger to Tanzhe Temple, and is even very familiar with it.

In his previous life, he had been to Tanzhe Temple, but at that time as a tourist.

Tanzhe Temple has a very long history and is famous all over the world as a famous ancient temple in western Beijing.

There is a saying among the folk that "there is Tanzhe Temple first, and then there is Youzhou City", which is enough to see its long history.

After Liu Weining said this, Ning Xiu was really a little curious, and wanted to go to Tanzhe Temple to have a look.

"Okay, when are we going?"

Liu Weining laughed and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today." ”

......

......

The incense of Tanzhe Temple is prosperous, and there are many people who come to make wishes and ask for signatures.

The carriage that Ning Xiu and Liu Weining were riding in had just entered the mountain gate and couldn't walk.

In desperation, the two had to get out of the carriage and change to walking.

Fortunately, this section of the road is not too long, and the two of them came to the temple gate with a stick of incense.

Ning Xiu took a closer look and found that the Tanzhe Temple in front of him was not much different from his impression, but there were slight differences in some details.

Originally, he was an atheist and did not believe in all religions.

But that view has changed since the crossing, and at least he doesn't assert that some paranormal phenomena don't exist. Otherwise, how did he cross over and come to Daming?

Liu Weining saw Ning Xiu's solemn face, coughed and said, "Seeing Brother Ning Xian's appearance, it's the first time you have come to the temple, right?" Don't be nervous, just follow me for a while. ”

Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay." ”

The two walked forward together.

Tanzhe Temple is indeed very large, in addition to the main hall on the central axis, there are many side halls on both sides.

As for the believers who came to make a wish and ask for signatures, they filled the main road to the fullest.

Ning Xiu and Liu Weining took a lot of effort to squeeze in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Liu Weining took a deep breath and walked into the hall.

Ning Xiu also followed.

Buddhism is a place of purity.

This is not to say that the monasteries are absolutely quiet, but that the hearts of the people are quiet.

When you go to the temple, especially the ancient temple, no matter how impetuous people are, they will temporarily calm their hearts, not to mention those believers who are already firm in their beliefs.

To say that the status of Buddhism is really high.

In addition to the emperor's family, those who can use the word "temple" are Buddhism and Taoism.

For the rest, if the word "temple" is used, it is a great disrespect, and it must be punished as rebellion.

As for which is higher or lower between Buddhism and Taoism, it is a matter of opinion. There have been disputes between Buddhism and Taoism in all dynasties, and who can win the limelight depends on the faith of the ruler of the current dynasty.

When encountering a Taoist emperor like Emperor Jiajing, it must be a Taoist rising from the clouds. If the emperor who believes in Buddhism is in power, then Buddhism will definitely overwhelm Taoism.

When today's son is Wanli, it has no obvious preference, so Buddhism and Taoism are also in a state of confrontation.

For this alone, Ning Xiu felt that Huaxia was very remarkable.

I think that the magnates of the entire Europa continent have to kneel under the obscenity of the Holy See.

Even the kings of a country have to be crowned by the pope to have legitimacy, which is too embarrassing.

And the divine right of kingship that they preach, that God is actually the Lord to whom he refers to.

So in a sense, the kings of the West are really pitiful, far from being comparable to the kings of the Great Unification Dynasty of China.

pressed these gossips and didn't mention them, but said that after Ning Xiu and Liu Weining entered the Daxiong Treasure Palace, they bought incense and knelt down in front of the futon to make a wish.

If you make a wish, you naturally have to make it silently, and it won't work if you say it.

Ning Xiu also made a wish silently, his wish was very simple to be able to live happily with Ling'er for a lifetime.

After going through so much, he can understand that nothing is more important than family happiness.

Home and everything is prosperous, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Liu Weining may have made a wish, not only made a wish but also asked to sign.

Ning Xiu was not very interested in this.

This kind of thing is a typical "speaking for the Buddha", and it is not a monk who can say whatever he wants.

If you sincerely ask the Buddha for your blessing and make a wish, there is no need to ask for any more signatures.

But Liu Weining had to ask for a signature.

I saw him sitting on a round stool with a solemn expression, and the monk opposite him asked him to draw out a stick, and after taking it, he closed his eyes and recited something silently.

Then he opened his eyes suddenly, and began to unsign in a very majestic voice.

He said a lot, Liu Weining listened attentively, and he didn't want to miss a word.

This lottery is a winning lottery, which can be a blessing or a curse.

As for whether it is a blessing or a curse in the end, it depends on Liu Weining's performance.

After the analysis of the monks, it is possible to avoid disasters by breaking the wealth, and to welcome the blessings.

Liu Weining was naturally convinced of this, and took out an ingot of ten taels of silver to donate incense money.

Ning Xiu didn't agree with this practice of "buying peace", but he didn't say much.

Because he knew that he would not be able to convince Liu Weining. Rather than making both parties unhappy, it is better to turn a blind eye.

People don't need to live too "clearly", it's better to be confused about some things.

After Liu Weining begged for a visa, he was in a good mood.

He and Ning Xiu walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall together and walked towards the temple gate.

At this moment, Ning Xiu saw a familiar figure.

Shhh
