When he arrived at the gate of the temple, Qian Dingzhang didn't go in, his head swayed left and right, looking around, He Ruoxi bit his teeth when he saw this, and twisted his waist again, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Don't you want to buy a ticket?"

"What are you stupid about? This is a temple and not a big world, what kind of ticket to buy, you don't have to pretend, don't go in quickly"

Seeing that she was about to do it again, Qian Dingzhang rushed into the temple in fright, "Hmm?!! That's not right."

He Ruoxi saw him stop again and was about to go up and twist it again, but saw Qian Dingzhang close his eyes and his nose was twitching, "Hey, what kind of demon are you doing, hey, you are a embryo, are you smelling fat powder? . . ”

"No, no, Ruoxi, you smell it, this smell is wrong"

He Ruoxi's small nose wrinkled beautifully, "What's the smell of it, the smell of incense sticks and candles, you still have to pretend!" ”

"The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, he doesn't use his hands, you smell it carefully, how can I smell a smell of meat, well, it seems to be the smell of roasted meat...

"Hey, it seems to be true when you say it."

"It's really next door, and those who make big fish and meat have to look at the direction of the wind, so the Bodhisattva will be blamed" Qian Dingzhang shook his head and walked in a corner to the main hall.

"I'll do that..." The eyeballs almost didn't fall off, and quickly moved his gaze up, "This, this, this is for Guanyin Bodhisattva, this this, although there is a satin cloak, but look at the face of this statue and the bun, this, this must be Guanyin, not the Statue of Liberty. ”

"Oops," He Ruoxi was also startled, "No wonder, it smells meaty"

I saw a plate of gold shining and oily uh on the offering table at the feet of Master Guanyin。。。。。 Roast suckling pig... It seems that it should not be baked for a long time, and a few traces of heat can still be seen coming out of the pig's head.

"No, no, I'm definitely dreaming, there is a saying called "carrying a pig's head to find the temple gate" to describe people who don't know how to do things or go to find a fight. This Guanyin Niangniang has a roast suckling pig at her feet, it must be me dreaming, dreaming... ”

"Hey, aren't you the one" A voice interrupted the cranky thoughts in his mind, Qian Dingzhang fixed his eyes and saw that two people were walking out next to Guanyin, one of them was in his thirties, with a wide nose and square face, huge eyes with copper bells, a big mouth of blood, a strong body, especially tall, almost half a head taller than Qian Dingzhang, estimated to be about one meter nine, and he could be regarded as a giant in this era.

Just looking at the appearance, I thought it was a ringing horse outside the gate, but the hairless head and the robe that did not match the bald head were estimated to be the temple blessings of this temple, and when the word temple blessings were mentioned, my eyelids couldn't help jumping a few times, thinking of Sheng Ze's dead ghost river, how could I have seen the temple blessings a little strange?

There was an acquaintance beside him, but Qian Dingzhang was eyebrows jumped, and he had three points of fear in his heart, this person was Cheng Shaohua, who had a relationship with Qian Dingzhang and Zhao Hao.

How did the governor of the French Concession come to the temple of the Public Concession?

Over there, Cheng Shaohua saw that he looked cramped, and when he saw that there was a beautiful female student of sixteen or seventeen beside him, his eyebrows stretched out to reveal a clear expression in his heart.

"Inspector Cheng, it's early, I really happened to meet here" Qian Dingzhang stepped forward to say hello, He Ruoxi was still a little afraid of officials, and just shrank behind him when he saw this.

"Where don't you meet in life, your surname is Qian, and you sing lyrics in the big world" Cheng Shaohua patted his head, you must have the ability to remember people in this business.

"Inspector Cheng has a good memory"

"Let me introduce, this layman's surname is Han, and his Taoist name is because of it, and he is in charge of the temple affairs here."

That because of the fist that stepped forward, and later found out that it was wrong, it was changed to "The poor monk has seen the money donor." ”

Qian Dingzhang saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, but he didn't wear a Taoist crown to show a big bald head, and he came over with a namaste, and he was a little unsure of the number of roads for a while.

Cheng Shaohua showed signs of it, and only said, "It doesn't matter if you put it together, whether it's holding your fists, or shouting immeasurable Tianzun, you don't care."

Qian Dingzhang pondered whether there was Guanyin Niangniang here or a merciful salute, and by the way, he introduced the little girl hiding behind him to the two, "This is my Taoist, surnamed He." ”

The two of them saw that He Ruoxi blushed and didn't dare to see anyone, and then saw Qian Dingzhang holding all kinds of food in his hand, where did they not understand. Because he is a wonderful person, he went up and diverted the topic with a few pleasantries.

"By the way, Mr. Qian and Ling Zun are both storytellers, right?" Cheng Shaohua asked

"Exactly, I don't know what Inspector Cheng has to say?"

"I don't have to see the teaching, but I saw that you suddenly remembered something, three days later is my uncle's fifty-fifth birthday, borrowed the Huang family garden for his birthday, just got the news that a storyteller who had made an appointment before had a sudden dysentery and couldn't come. The two of them sing in the big world, and they are not outsiders, so I don't know if they have time to sing in the church? ”

"Oh, oh, thank you Inspector Cheng for your advice, this is to lift our father and son, I must come, I must come" Qian Dingzhang hurriedly thanked him.

Cheng Shaohua returned the salute with a smile, and told the detailed time and place, and at the end, he also cared for it, "If you talk to Zhao Afu about this matter, you will say that I will find you directly, and he will not say anything." Hmph, my uncle's birthday temporarily asked someone to make up the file, these people are thinking of taking the opportunity to make up the rungs for benefits, usually I also open my eyes and close my eyes, this time is still like this, don't blame me for finding it myself. After speaking, his face was full of gloom.

Qian Dingzhang thanked him again.

Because of the fun, "This singing is good, you are a fish jumping over the dragon gate, such a good thing, but it was negotiated in my small temple, don't forget to come and make a vow when the time comes, my temple is small, but the market is good, Bodhisattva Spirit"

Cheng Shaohua shook his head, "You, are you going to stunt others to offer roast pigs to repay your vows?" ”

"Hey, hey, by the way, isn't this a temple, why did you offer a small canopy in a grand manner?"

Cheng Shaohua smiled, "It's the good karma planted by this mage." ”

He was not in a hurry, so he introduced it to Qian Dingzhang, because the ancestral home of the monk was Penglai, Shandong, because of the famine that year, the whole village fled the famine in the late Qing Dynasty and broke into the eastern part of the country. The black soil raises people and raises crops, and you can pinch out oil flowers by picking up a handful of soil, and everyone works hard to open up wasteland and farm land, and life is much better than that in Guannai.

But before a few years of good life, they encountered 918, the little devils occupied the three eastern provinces, and immediately began to carry out comprehensive economic plunder, the Chinese eating white rice and counting economic criminals Qian Dingzhang had heard of this kind of thing in his previous life, so it is not counted, the devil soldiers are often led by traitors, semi-forced recruitment everywhere, in fact, they are pulled to dig coal mines or repair fortresses, and they will not return.

Because he felt that his age and physique were really likely to be dragged by the imperial army to serve Manchukuo, he did not have the consciousness of "striving to build a great East Asian co-prosperity sphere for the people of Asia for the sake of the vast number of Asian people to get rid of the brutal rule of Western white colonialists". So he cried goodbye to his father and mother, and went all the way south to settle in Beiping, because the former imperial capital at the moment when the government moved south has long ceased to be prosperous.

As a result, the Great Wall of Resistance, the Oriental people occupied Rehe again, because they felt that if this continued, the fall of Beiping would be a matter of time or time, and it was really disgusting to watch Liang Hongzhi and Wang Kemin and others jump up and down, so they went south to Shencheng again, and somehow settled in the Red Temple.

Cheng Shaohua's words were reasonable on the surface, and Qian Dingzhang also nodded frequently and said yes, but he still gave the four big words of "not true" in his heart. Not to mention anything else, this red temple is a cash cow, and a foreign monk can take it casually, but on the surface, he is silent, but his eyes are still full of curiosity when he looks at the bald head.

Because he touched his head and smiled, "Life has been hard these years, and in order to save money, I have also become bald"

"But it's also getting stronger, look at the Taoist chief, this embryo is not inferior to the Russian Hercules," Qian Dingzhang smiled and prayed for goodness.

"Mr. Qian is really good at telling jokes, my small temple has a good deal, naturally some peers look hot, and often meet people who come to step on the plate, if it weren't for my body embryo and still scare people, hehehehe"

Qian Dingzhang's tone of voice was really incommensurate with the Taoist robe on his body, and it was estimated that he might have really done that moneyless business before.

Then he pointed to the roast suckling pig with his finger, "This... ”

Because I came up and said, "This is really not on my head, the small temple is at the latest in the Ming Dynasty Wanli years, at that time it was not a Taoist temple, but the monk temple is dedicated to Guanyin Dashi, to the Kangxi period can not continue to operate on the Taoist priest to do the Taoist temple, but you look at the plaque hanging at the door on the security Situ Temple, security Situ is a Taoist immortal, but it is still a temple. And you see the main hall to worship Guanyin, the two worship the god of the city and the earth, this Guanyin master is handed down from the Ming Dynasty, special spirit. The side hall is dedicated to the twenty-eight star lords. ”

touched his bald head and said, "Our temple, you have also seen it, all the women who came were women on the four roads, and they also divided into gangs, the biggest is the Su Gang, and the Yue Gang, I don't know why the Yue Gang believes in this." I don't know when, this group of Cantonese women brought roast suckling pigs, and they called roast pigs to make vows or make vows. It's hard for me to turn away from the locals, right? Besides, how can such a pig have more than ten or even twenty more, people bring it sincerely, I always have to say a few good words. That's right, so I'm just taking the Bodhisattva and taking it. ”

"A harmonious society is full of flowers, and scientific development is like a wave" Qian Dingzhang suddenly burst out of his mind with these two sentences, which is really too united.

Seeing Qian Dingzhang's weird smile on his face, he was also a little unsure of his way, and asked tentatively, "What is Mr. Qian laughing at?" ”

"Oh, does your temple have pen and ink, I happen to think of a pair here, but it fits"

"Yes, yes," he said, taking out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the room, and casually pulled over an empty offering table, "Mr. Qian, please"

Because he is really a wonderful person who can make fun, he actually wanted to polish Qian Dingzhang in person, but Qian Dingzhang refused, and when the two sides were arguing, a timid voice said, "Don't earn it, why don't I come" Officially He Ruoxi.

Because of the first look, he immediately didn't insist, but raised his thumb to look at Qian Dingzhang, making the latter a little embarrassed.

He Ruoxi sharpened the ink with his hands and feet, Qian Dingzhang dipped the pen in ink, and the pen walked on the rice paper.

The other three stretched their necks and looked at them curiously, "Harmony gods and Buddhas are like flowers, and scientific worship is like waves", except for He Ruoxi, who is not very literate, the other two are also a little literate and literate, but they still look at each other when they look at this pair.

Qian Dingzhang identified the appearance and color, and explained, "You see this Guanyin Niangniang wearing a brocade robe, with silk curtains hanging next to her back, and on the offering table in front of her are all kinds of flowers in all seasons, and the Buddha and Taoism are accommodated in one hall, and their respective believers do not interfere with each other and live in harmony, which is really a symbol of the great harmony of the world." You must know that in the thousands of years of war history in the West, especially the religious wars, the most fierce, denounced the other side as heretics at the slightest disagreement, and waited at the stake at every turn. This is far worse than my country."

"Oh mom, oh, Mr. Qian is really a genius of this Gada, there are so many ways in just one uplink, so what about the downlink" Because the face of the listener was full of admiration, he leaked out a mouth full of Northeast dialect for a while.

"Xialian, you see" Qian Dingzhang pointed to the roast suckling pig, worship the gods and Buddhas should also pay attention to keeping pace with the times, the tribute always represents the prayer needs of believers, represents the most pious worship in the letter, and also represents the position of the temple in the center of believers, people-oriented, establish a comprehensive coordination of the relationship between people and gods, people and Buddhas, the offering is mainly from the inner piety of believers, and the specific items to be worshiped have little to do with it, if you blindly insist on tribute to conform to this doctrine, the scriptures, this is where the obsession lies, It's very different from the four emptiness of my Buddha."

“。。。。。。。。。。。” The scene cooled down a little.

Because I really didn't expect that this person was so young that he was more powerful than himself when he talked about crooked ways, and what was even more powerful was that although he knew that it was crooked and heresy, it sounded quite reasonable.

How did he know that Qian Dingzhang was annoyed by the defeat of the "Guanshengyuan" guy just now, and he went with He Ruoxi, and when he was relaxed, the temperament that he liked to flirt everywhere in his previous life germinated.

"Papapa Mr. Qian is just a two-sentence joker, and he is also a good hand at putting gimmicks on the desk, so it seems that I have found the right person.

Because of patting his bald head overjoyed, "Yes, yes, although I still don't understand, but this science is a good word, this year what is related to science and immediately sit on the ground and start the price, the opposite Wu blind man recently told me to mention the fortune-telling phase gold, from a piece of five to two dollars, the pretense of playing is what is a combination of Chinese and Western science and spiritual fortune-telling, I will also get a few roast pigs here to beat the tooth sacrifice, where is he, tsk... ”

"Who do you know the mage and the other person?" Qian Dingzhang said strangely. Calling each other a mage, but it's still a little awkward in my heart, this TMD is also called a mage? If you wear a half-body armor, you're a barbarian.

"Hey, I can't talk about acquaintance, help each other, sometimes he can't help the stars, just let me help, I don't take advantage of him in vain, sometimes the incense burners here will introduce a few in the past, this is called, this is called communicative relations."

A few people are talking and laughing, they heard the temple door there is a chirping warbler Yan language, listen carefully to the Cantonese sound, because of the old in the world, the temple daily life is well understood, stroking the palm laughing "The small temple is fortunate today, ushered in the inspector and Qian He two gentlemen, a few are better than the magpie Turin, usually the temple incense is good, but a week to have a roast suckling pig on the good luck, today is good, here for one, the door came again. ”

"You haven't seen it, how do you know that another roast suckling pig is coming, let's smell it, isn't there already one here" He Ruoxi poked her head out from behind Qian Dingzhang and asked timidly, she listened to the conversation of several people just now, and felt that these two strangers didn't seem to be too difficult people to deal with, so she also had the courage to ask.

It is said that she also followed Lu Zuixian to walk away from the dock, which can be regarded as an old Jianghu, and she will not be too shy in dealing with people. It's just that the daily communication and entertainment are solved by Lu Zuixian, she is like a chick with the wings of an old hen, but in fact, her experience is still very shallow. Otherwise, when he was in Shengze, he would not have been frightened and panicked by the two little housekeepers, and at this time, hiding behind Qian Dingzhang felt a little more stable in his heart, and the only person who could give him this feeling before was the sister who had been dependent on each other since childhood.

"The mountain people have their own way" because of touching the bald head and said, "My nose is easy to use, they are all roast suckling pigs, but the taste difference is big, this should be from Xinya, the outside is full of Tingfang, Xinya is now learning from the West, what to do to visit the kitchen, as long as you go to eat, you can take part in their kitchen, it is said that the window is indeed bright and clean." Therefore, this pig can only be roasted with electricity, which is particularly refreshing. Anyway, it's a Shanghainese business, and these people like to be fashionable, but their mouths are so confused. And Man Tingfang is a Cantonese man, all of them are old Cantonese pies, and they must be charcoal-grilled, and they are replaced by electricity, which is spicy and expensive, and secondly, the neighbors don't buy it. Therefore, a few people were absent for a while," he said, flicking the sleeves of his wide robe and heading towards the temple gate.

Sure enough, a group of warblers and Yanyan who came in with him led the one with a tray in his hand and a golden roast pig on the plate. The three of them looked at each other and felt that this ability was really unpredictable. For a while, Cheng Shaohua was a little skeptical that this Taoist master was the reincarnation of the Prussian black-backed police dog in the patrol room.

Cheng Shaohua suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Qian, there is an ugly saying in the front, this time the hall will only be aggrieved to sing in the outer file, and a few top ringing files have been made in the inner hall before, but I don't know who it is because I don't usually listen to the words."

Qian Dingzhang naturally said yes, Cheng Shaohua's words are really a bit rude to say it strictly, but he is a dignified inspector and the nephew of the old man of the Green Gang, and it is already very approachable to be able to put down his body and explain the two sentences like this.
