Chapter 315: The Temple is in trouble
Over the next few days, Gao Feng inspected the mountains and revised the plan to perfection. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The project of the front mountain has been started, and the main thing in the early stage is to cut the mountain, build the road, and prepare all kinds of materials. Lao Sun Tou, Kong Yue and others also entered the role, and the whole work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Good news came from Hejiazhuang and Fanjiazhai, and each of the villagers agreed to sign the agreement. Gao Feng asked Uncle Mo to handle the matter, and then took the villagers to the valley of the back mountain, and began to encircle and build in line with the principle of first encircling and then building and then producing.
Everything was going well, but there was a piece of news that made Gao Feng cry and laugh, Uncle Mo came to report that Grandma's temple was in trouble.
Oh, this news is funny, the temple is haunting, it's the first time I've heard it, but it's ridiculous to think about it, isn't the temple haunted if it doesn't haunt the gods? Of course, Gao Feng knew that it would not be so simple, and he couldn't figure out which god came out to play, but he overplayed it.
Uncle Mo introduced the situation, and Gao Feng finally understood that this was the case.
Grandma Temple was originally the temple of Liang Xiaowang, newly built in the Tang Dynasty, renamed Bixia Yuanjun Temple, also known as Grandma Temple, dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, Peixia Yuanjun, Zixia Yuanjun, commonly known as "Three Immortal Grandma".
In addition to the main hall, there is also a Zen temple where a small group of monks live in the temple, and they are responsible for managing the incense in the grandmother temple. Usually there is not much incense in the grandmother temple, only the annual temple fair will be the peak of incense, and now should be the off-season for incense, so the monks live in the Zen temple, and the grandmother temple is basically closed.
However, a few days ago, a lay disciple who had placed an order came and lived in the Zen monastery and claimed that he was an Arhat incarnation and would appear through the temple in the middle of the night.
Of course, no one believes this statement, not even the monks who chant Buddha every day. However, the lay disciples went up the mountain in the middle of the night, and in a moment the sun on the mountain was dazzling, and this glow spread far away, and even the persimmon village under the mountain could be clearly seen.
Seeing this, everyone finally believed it, thinking that he was really an Arhat incarnation and appeared in the temple, so they began to worship him.
Just like this three or two times, Persimmon Village and Zen Monastery all regarded him as a man of God, and that person wanted money and things from now on, and no one ever said a word.
That's not all, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the surrounding people all believed it was true, and they also rushed to hear it, burned incense and worshiped God, and made a wish, and there were even some people, holding gold, silver and jewelry, just wanting to see the true face, and even the hired people we invited here secretly ran some.
It's so strange! When Gao Feng heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he said, "Call Ding Bao and Jing Chun to come, I want to go to Grandma's Temple." ”
Uncle Mo said: "Grandma Temple can't go now. ”
"Isn't it okay to burn incense and worship God? Why can't I go? Gao Feng asked in surprise.
Uncle Mo replied: "Burning incense and worshiping the gods was arranged in the Zen temple, and the Arhat said that the temple was the place where he practiced and manifested his spirits, and he could not be disturbed, so he blocked the way up the mountain, and he could only go up the mountain at night." ”
Sure enough, it was Mingtang, Gao Feng made up his mind even more, and asked, "Is there any way to the mountain?" ”
"There is a side road in the back mountain that you can go up, but that road is very hidden, and only Xiang Chong and I know about it." Uncle Mo replied.
"Then ask Xiang Chong to go with him." Gao Feng commanded, "By the way, let them bring weapons and food, and we won't return until midnight." ”
Xiang Chong and the three of them arrived soon, and Gao Feng arranged for Xiang Chong and Ding Bao to go to the back mountain to wait first, and he took Jing Chun to the front mountain to have a look.
Coming to the front mountain, the Zen temple is halfway up the mountain, and the peak really saw groups of believers rushing to the Zen temple, and the flow of people is no less than the general temple fair.
There has been such a big movement in the past few days, it seems that people in this era are still very superstitious! Gao Feng followed the crowd and walked up, he wanted to see who the other party was.
Entering the Zen courtyard, it is a courtyard house, except for a small treasure hall in the middle, the surrounding area is full of Zen rooms.
The crowd was crowded in the temple, but they all bowed down to the treasure hall, and the Arhat should be in the treasure hall. Gao Feng saw that there was a merit box at the entrance of the treasure hall, and if you wanted to enter the treasure hall, you must first put a certain amount of money into the merit box, otherwise you would be blocked from the door, and even burning incense could only be carried out in the courtyard.
Oh, that's a great way to get money. Gao Feng suddenly found that this person made more money than he would do. He worked hard, accompanied by careful, raised a group of workers, and broke the ground, but could only earn a little hard-earned money, this person only needed to sit there, without even speaking, everyone willingly sent the money to the door, this risk-free, and easy way to get money, is indeed several times stronger than him.
After looking at the amount of money invested, it would take at least ten taels of silver to enter the main hall, and Gao Feng asked Jing Chun to wait outside, and he took out ten taels of silver and walked over.
The silver ingots were put into the merit box, and Gao Feng smoothly entered the main hall.
The main hall is not big, and there are already more than ten people in it, which makes the main hall more compact. Looking at the peak, except for a man in yellow sitting in the middle, the rest of the people came to worship.
Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, as if listening to the man in yellow preaching the Fa.
The man in yellow closed his eyes slightly, and there were words in his mouth, and no one could hear what he was saying, but the more this happened, the more pious people became.
This person has a good face, and he should be more than thirty years old, but his dress makes Gao Feng dare not compliment, because he feels that the clothes are not this person's, and they seem to be smaller on his body.
Anyway, since it cost ten taels of silver, Gao Feng decided to observe first and see what the man was going to do next.
But there was a problem that came to him, and all the people in the hall knelt down except for the man, and he was the only one who stood there like a flock, which was not unruly and eye-catching.
It was impossible to make him kneel on that person, but it was not a way to stand like this, Gao Feng had no choice but to look around.
Fortunately, there is a bedding on the side, which is just right to use. Gao Feng stepped over and took the bedding, found a hidden corner, and sat down.
Sitting on the mat, his body was shortened, the peak was no longer eye-catching, and seeing that everyone was bowing their heads, he also lowered his head, and kept aiming at the man with only his spare eyes.
The man in yellow continued to mumble, and everyone listened energetically, but it was like a lullaby to Gao Feng, and he was almost drowsy.
Gao Feng couldn't help but suspect in his heart that this person would not stop at this trick, until the end, if so, there was no need to suffer here.
While he was thinking wildly, Gao Feng saw that the man's eyes opened slightly, and after his eyes flashed, he closed them gently, and then said: "The deity has just recited the Arhat Descending Mantra, and when everything is gone, you can go." (To be continued.) )
