23. Build a temple

The Tan family's business is very smooth, especially after subduing Luo's gaze. The officialdom was also smooth, and Tan Long asked, "Big, don't you have a wish?" It's time to finish, what's it? Tan Biao said: "Yes, uncle, it must be realized." Tan Deyi said: "You see, our population has tripled. However, how can we gather and gather people's hearts? "The two of them didn't understand, they didn't think about it. Tan Deyi said: "Let the spirit lead, let us guide." The two immediately paid respect, and Tan Deyi said: "In terms of status, the Tan family is not lacking, it is the head of the regiment, the mayor of the town, the chief of security, the honorary squire, and the cultural steward." In terms of funds, the Tan family is not lacking, there are businesses in various places, as well as taxes, all of which belong to the Tan family. It's just the spirit, and the Tan family also has to lead. Tan Long said: "Big, you are exciting." You say, "What are you doing?" Tan Deyi said: "Build a temple." Tan Deyi said: "It's a good thing, there should have been a temple in Hutou Mountain a long time ago." "He also admired, and everyone admired. Tan Biao said: "So, take the opportunity to build the Tan family ancestral hall?" Tan Deyi said: "It can be done, it is the icing on the cake." Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and the matter was quickly settled. followed by the operation, Tan Deyi said: "Building a temple can be publicized, but the Tan family can't show their wealth, and if it is a matter of course, what can be done?" So the discussion and the final decision were made in two steps. The first step is to ask the county magistrate for support. The second step is to mobilize people and set off the atmosphere. So, Tan Deyi came to find his brother-in-law, and the county magistrate said: "It's a good thing, this is a righteous act." He also pointed out: "It is a righteousness to settle the hungry people, and it is another righteousness to unite people's hearts, so the county can allocate money." Tan Deyi was very excited and looked for Mr. Ge again. Mr. Ge said: "Since it is a good thing, people must be willing to cooperate." ”

Tan Deyi said: "But where did the funds come from? Mr. Ge said: "The villagers raise their own funds, the Quartet turns into fate, the yamen fights, and finally depends on you." Tan Deyi said: "Then I have a big loss, how many numbers do I have to count?" Mr. Ge said: "You don't lose, you can be famous." Otherwise, the Tan family ancestral hall will also be repaired? Tan Deyi smiled: "So it's you, it's rare and thoughtful." How do you arrange the work down, and there are still people? Mr. Ge said: "You are responsible for the overall situation, and Guo Mingli is responsible for taking care of it, and I will raise funds." In order to start work as soon as possible, you have to advance money and pay for food first. Tan Deyi smiled again: "You are still impatient, so let's say it?" Mr. Ge said: "Okay, what about the location?" Tan Deyi said: "In the north of Shenxian Road, sit in the north and face the south, collect Hutou Mountain, covering an area of ten acres, what do you see?" Mr. Ge said, "Okay, it's still facing the school." "So the matter was decided, so the work began. Guo Mingli ordered that he recruit craftsmen by himself, and he wanted to invite carpenters from thousands of households to repair the old military hall before. ordered Ma Qiming to arrange migrant workers, but secretly called, don't use the Fu family, and hang it aside first. The purpose is that it is so easy to speak, the Tan family does not care about specific affairs, but is only responsible for the overall supervision, so the construction started in such a hurry. For a time, it was festive and lively, and people were happily looking for work to do, which was a righteous act, and there was food. Ma Qiming's work is divided into two parts, one group of people digging foundations, digging trenches, beating adobe, and preparing stones. One group of people look for trees, cut down trees, smoke them into half-dried and then transport them back, and they have to pick the best ones before extending to a radius of sixty or seventy miles.

So the Fu family was embarrassed, they wanted to be idle, but they couldn't be idle, and they were also the masters. For this reason, Mr. Ge came to invite them to go to the fate and let go to the Quartet. Therefore, they went to dozens of villages such as Qianhu, Jixian, Louguan, Doucun, Zu'an, and Zhongnan. Everywhere they went, people were surprised and asked, "Do you dare to build in these years?" But the temple is also a good thing. People excitedly asked them: "Can it be powerful, who mainly depends on it, whose initiative?" The Fu family said: "It's the Tan family." The person exclaimed again: "Awesome, the Tan family, rich and powerful, how lucky are you to have a Tan family?" The Fu family said bitterly: "Yes, do you support it?" Everyone said, "Yes, for God's sake." And he gave them money with all his might, and he honored them. So, the Fu family did the most decent thing instead, and they felt very honored. Therefore, they keep accounts, recording the name of each donor and how much they donate, so that they can easily check it later. However, some people have no money and want to keep their names, so what can they do? So, they begged the Fu family to want to go to Hutou Mountain and do volunteers, which is also dedicated. The Fu family had no choice but to agree, so they brought them here and proudly led them. They came, so they consulted the locals and asked, "Who is Teh Tehman?" "Just look for another opportunity to visit Tan Deyi. They admired him, admired him, and boasted, "Only those who are outstanding can produce good people." So, the reputation was quickly broadcast, and anyone who knew that he was building a temple didn't know that there was a great good person. Therefore, the Tan family was happy, so they instructed to use the Fu family.

But in fact, the Fu family has been working for a long time, and they have to look up to themselves. The fate is intermittent, so that people have the opportunity to prepare. So, the men went to find the trees, cut down the trees, and the women came to cook, and they had already mingled with the neighbors. As a result, someone's plan fell through, so that none of the neighbors could see it. After a while, the timber was finally ready, and I began to do carpentry. On this day, Fu Laosan cooperated with Ma Renyi, Shanwa and Huang Li, and was each a carpenter for their own use. They had to lift and change the heavy wood, and then help to roll the line, press the rafters, and make all kinds of parts. It's a slow job, so there's time to chat. Shanwa asked Gong Dezhen, who was the head of the carpenter, and asked, "Uncle Gong, what will the temple look like after it is completed?" Gong Dezhen said: "It's like an old military palace, but it's small." Shanwa said: "That's complicated, how long will it take?" Gong Dezhen said: "It's a few months, it's a long time, and you can't be sloppy." Shanwa asked again: "It is said that you have built the old military hall?" Gong Dezhen said: "It's not us, it's the ancestors." There are people who are still alive, he is the king of carpenters, and they are all over a hundred years old. So it became a signboard, a treasure, a living ancestor of the carpenter world. Shanwa said: "That's, it's okay, he's here?" Gong Dezhen said: "Here, just watch, everyone is proud." Shanwa said, "Of course." Uncle, you can talk about building the old military palace. ”

Gong Dezhen said: "It was the carpenter king who said that the old military hall was made of wood, and Yican was made of a combination of parts, which was natural." Therefore, even the insiders cannot see it, mainly because it cannot be disassembled. Why disassemble? It is in disrepair, the wood is rotten, and it is about to collapse, so thousands of households want to repair it. However, when it came to repair, no one dared to take it because of how many craftsmen were invited, and it was difficult to take it. Finally, there is one, and people dare to take it, but it is a second-rate child, dismantling and smashing, smashing, and clanging. But the thousands of households were frightened, so they drove them away and invited them again, but they were masters. These people dismantled from top to bottom, from the inside out, and finally dismantled, and then numbered, arranged, and arranged. That's right, I want to put it on after it is done as it is. However, when it was dismantled to the top of the ridge, it did not dare to be demolished. If you can't understand it, you may not be able to install it, so I was scared away overnight, and I didn't want my salary. What can I do? It has become a mess, and the more frightened the thousands of households are, and it is ruined. If they fail to cultivate, they are responsible for their sins, and they will bear the sin for a thousand years. But fortunately, my master was invited, and it was excavated, and the master was still young at the time, and there was his leader carpenter, who was not in a thousand households. The reason why I invited them was because I heard that they had repaired the bell tower of the provincial capital, so they were very famous. Shanwa asked, "Didn't you say that there is a picture?" Carved on a piece of raw sheepskin, buried under the foundation of the main hall? ”

Gong Dezhen said: "Hey, don't mention it." It's only to blame that the people of Qianhu love to be smart too much, and they are smart but they are mistaken by smartness. They wanted to put the drawings outside, so that they could be easily built, or in case of fire, or they needed to be repaired. Don't you know, how can you remember the map? Only the crucial parts are written. After the drawing is put outside, but the moisture returns, mold, and the result is that the picture and words are not clear. Therefore, it was dried, but it was caught in a fire, and finally burned. At this time, thousands of households regretted it, only to understand that the ancients had already thought of it and wanted to be buried under the foundation. Therefore, demolition is the key, and only after demolition can it be built and restored. So, my master and they came, and they also attached great importance to disassembly. In the early days, it was the leader carpenter who came first, and he carefully investigated, observed the simulation, and installed it repeatedly. Otherwise, who would dare to take this mess? It wasn't until he was confident that he was brave enough to follow, so they all came. It's all here, and I continue to dismantle it, but there is also a problem, and I thought it would be okay. But what's the problem? It's at the last moment that I can't figure it out, so I can't dismantle it. This means that when it comes to fashion, I have to tell the truth and tell thousands of people. Qianhu said: "Then rely on smashing, let the last see clearly, and try to be the same." "The leader carpenter said, 'What if?' Thousands of households cried, 'It is better to build it than to have it at all.' Otherwise, the hall would have been ruined. 'Although a thousand households speak like this, how can the leader carpenter be willing? So it was carefully smashed, which took more than a month. But I don't understand it as usual, and when I install it again, I always feel that something is wrong, and there is always something left, so I have to rest. ”

Shanwa asked: "Later, hasn't the bell tower of the provincial city been repaired?" Gong Dezhen said: "The old military hall is earlier than the bell tower, how can the bell tower have a thousand years?" The most important thing is that the things of the ancients must be passed on, so who dares to be ambiguous? Therefore, it is a matter of repeated practice and trial, and there are still three things left, which are never used. So by interception, the original girder was cut into one by one, and then it was secretly exposed. One of them, the inside is empty, there is an installation method for hiding sheepskin, and the show character writes: Those who win me add three, and those who do not win me have three pieces left, and there are three pieces left. This is to say that he is inferior to the ancients; I would also like to say that I will challenge the people of the future. Therefore, the leader carpenter wanted to fight, but was defeated, and ended up using three less. Shanwa asked regretfully: "Why don't you spend more time?" Gong Dezhen said: "I can't figure it out, it's raining again, I can't afford to stay up, I'm afraid of raining wood, which is not good for the hall." But I am always grateful to others, and according to their methods, the hall is finally installed. Propping up the roof truss, it suddenly protrudes into four dragon heads, which is the finishing touch, and the magic of painting the dragon. So the people thanked them, especially the thousands of households, and the carpenter also thanked them, so as not to make themselves too embarrassed. It also exposed: Regret, today's people are not as good as the ancients, and the ancients are not as good as the ancients. ”

After Gong Dezhen finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded, and then he really felt: He is really inferior to the ancients. Suddenly, Shanwa remembered something, and he asked, "Then, why does the main hall always ring?" Squeak, still in the night. Moreover, people have also seen that the two pieces of wood are always bright and spotless, so what's the matter? Gong Dezhen said: "Actually, you know, this is indeed a pity. According to the previous statement, it was the second group of people who were not convinced, so they secretly changed the wood, and it turned out to be a pair of male and female trees, also called husband and wife trees. Let it be a big beam, can it not be grinded, just at night. Shanwa said: "That's what I said." Gong Dezhen said with a smile: "In fact, it has been nearly a hundred years to cover up the ugliness, so I dare to say that it is an excuse." In fact, the means of people at that time were not good, and they had to hide their eyes and ears. Shanwa said: "Since I know later, why don't you change it, and thousands of households are also willing?" Gong Dezhen said: "Change, how easy is it?" The cost is huge, and it doesn't hurt to say anything, so even thousands of households say it. Moreover, it also cooperates with the saying, which can add a name to the hall and help it be sacred. But do you think, husband and wife tree? Who has seen it, and it happens to be as thick. So he laughed, and everybody laughed. Gong Dezhen said: "If you think about it again, it was so difficult to cultivate at that time, who would dare to cultivate in the future, if it is even worse?" Shanwa said: "Yes, no one will." However, we want to be like it, so what can we do? Gong Dezhen said: "To be honest, it's impossible, it's too far away, who will." "People are worried, afraid that the process will not be enough, and it will affect the sacred. Gong Dezhen said: "The process will not be less, the carpenter has rules, and it can't stop at one." What's more, is it to build a temple, dare not care? It will damage yin morality. However, the view must also change, the times are changing, and the style of the temple will inevitably change. But the purpose is the same, to attract the gods. He spoke, seemingly reasonable, but people were unwilling, but there was no way, they were the ones who could do it. So I was depressed, but it was still early, so I had to say something else.

Fu Laosan asked: "Then you say, why is Qianhu Village called Qianhu?" Gong Dezhen said: "A long time ago, there was an old soldier living in Qianhu Village, and the highest official rank was Qianhu, so his name was used. As for when it was called, I can't tell, or the Song Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty? It's definitely not the Qin Dynasty. There is no record, but it is spread that at its peak, there were 4,000 households living here, and four villages were formed, which were the families of the old soldiers. Earlier, there was no one, and there was no record. Shanwa asked, "So, Fang Jia, what's going on?" Gong Dezhen said: "The roots of the Fang family are in Fang Village, which started in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no one surnamed Fang in Qianhu Village. In the Tang Dynasty, these two places were both fiefdoms of Fang Xuanling, and the owner had been in Fang Village. Later, the Fang family declined, so they sold the land, but the owner was always in Fang Village. And thousands of households always want to touch the light of Fang Xuanling, because he is very famous. But I was afraid that the owner was unwilling, so I stole the surname of the house, pointed to the outside, and actually gave the surname of each family, so the rumor spread. Shanwa was puzzled, so she asked, "Why?" It shouldn't be. Gong Dezhen said: "I want to borrow the banner of his family, the Fang family is the best at doing business, since the Tang Dynasty, using the Fang family's horse road." So you heard that the owner of a thousand households is surnamed Fang, right? Shanwa said: "Yes, but how do you know? Gong Dezhen said: "The same is what the carpenter king said." This time, people understood, and it was only then that they suddenly realized, and then they said, "I see." ”

It's time to change jobs, Gong Dezhen stood aside, waiting for someone to carry the wood. Therefore, Shanwa and Huang Li carried down the first piece of wood, and then put the second piece of wood, and Gong Dezhen removed the adze, and then made the ridge purlin. As he was starting, the carpenter king came, he was slightly fat, bowed, and moved slowly. People immediately saluted, stood up, and saluted. Gong Dezhen rushed over in a panic and shouted, "Old Ancestor, why are you here?" Also alone. He cautiously helped the carpenter king to sit down, and the mountain baby hurriedly brought the wood, and looked at the old man with admiration, and the people around him hurriedly offered tea, and admired him. Seeing the old man, wearing a black gown, is an identity and a flag. Everyone is willing to listen to the old man, and the old man is happy, Fu Laosan asked: "Old man, Kangtai, long life?" The old man said, "One hundred and eight." "The old man's voice is like a filament, like a woman, but his ears are very good, and his eyes are good. He pointed out: "Vibrator, there are too many adzes. Gong Dezhen looked back in shame and said, "I know it's wrong." Everyone laughed. Shanwa said: "Grandpa, you can live to be 200 years old, you must be able to do it." The old man said: "No, it's all a burden, and it's useless." Everyone said, "How can it?" You are the signboard. The old man smiled: "Fart, Hu sent." Also want to do things, they don't let it. They all laughed again and said, "Scold them." The old man said: "How dare you, I don't know what to do." Everyone asked again: "Old man, how do you feel about coming this time?" The old man said: "When I was a child, I was repairing the old military hall. The last chance, otherwise it will be gone, refers to the repair of the temple. The people asked, "Old man, how old were you when you built the old military hall?" The old man said: "If you are a teenager, you don't dare to fight for credit, others take credit." I can only watch it this time, and I can't do it if I want to. The man asked, "What is the difference between the temple to be repaired and the old military hall?" The old man said, "It's the same, but it's small." The man then asked, "Then, what about the old army hall before and after?" The old man said, "It's the same." The man then praised: "Old man, it is your merit that allows us to still see the old army hall in future generations." The old man said humbly: "Didn't you say it all? It's not me, it's someone else's credit, I'm still young. It was close to noon, and it was hot, and everyone took pity on him, so they wanted to send the old man back. So the old man agreed, but Shanwa wanted to send it, and he wanted to accompany him, and then experience the cordiality.

In this way, he accompanied the old man into the sunshine and out of the shade of the trees. Suddenly, baking, there was no wind, it was very dazzling, and the surrounding light was white. Careful identification showed that people tried their best to hide under the trees, but some people were unlucky and dug trenches, beat adobe, carried stones, and carried trees. Therefore, they all took off their clothes, sweated like rain, and their flesh was bright, and they were clothed in animal oil. This is a man, it's okay to say, but a woman is only sinned, she can't take off her clothes, cover her body with prickly heat, and cook, close to the open fire. So, everyone figured out their own way, either to go to the toilet, or to feed the baby, in order to take the opportunity to undress and rest in the shade. Therefore, Hu Yinhua was breastfeeding the baby, so she came to the tree and took the opportunity to untie her arms. She had another child, so she gained weight and showed her white fat. But unexpectedly, he was bumped into by Xu Lazy, so he didn't leave, he was carrying water, and he happened to be a single. His eyes were staring straight at her, looking at her white chest, white belly, white trembling. His throat was dry, trembling, his eyes were spewing fire, and he coughed inadvertently, only to be discovered by Hu Yinhua, who hurriedly pulled his clothes and scolded: "Get out, shameless, dead lazy." But he came and came nearer, the faster he went. Hu Yinhua was scared, scolded, nervously retreated, and Shanwa hurriedly said: "Carry the water, why don't you go quickly?" Xu lazy man stagnated and had no choice but to go. Hu Yinhua said ashamedly: "The child is hungry, the house is too stuffy, steaming, and hot." Just explaining, Xu Lazy Man sang:

The girl's tender face, the mother-in-law's fart

The nurse who gave birth to a baby has a greasy chest

White belly, sparkling

Look at the greedy yo, your stupid brother wants to figure it out

The first time I was mouth-to-mouth, I was blowing air

The second time I turned around, I gave it to my heart

The third leg pressed the leg, and it was the soul that was handed over

The fourth time to repay the kindness, the baby came out

Xu lazy man sang in waves, making everyone laugh. Hu Yinhua couldn't hang it up, and scolded again: "I want my daughter-in-law to go crazy, do you have the ability to earn it yourself?" Xu lazy man didn't refute, he was pondering, and suddenly read: "The doll's cow is steel and turns its head, the young man's cow can drag it, and the old man's cow is wilted and not lost." Hu Yinhua was so angry that she trembled, and it happened that Hu Si came over and saw that her daughter-in-law was being bullied, so she wanted to beat her. Shanwa stopped: "Forget it, what are you doing with him?" Xu lazy man bravely retorted: "Are you talking about her, are you talking about you?" Hard to the body. Shanwa said: "Why don't you go quickly?" Tan Deyi came to pick up the carpenter king, so he also scolded: "It's so unsuccessful, go to carry water?" "Xu lazy man is gone, Shanwa is also gone, and the task has been completed.

Finally, when it was time to eat, I had noodle soup and steamed buns for lunch. The children also came, it was for nothing, Tan Deyi said: "Remember, building a temple is a celebration and a lifelong unforgettable liveliness." So the child only eats, but does not work, and after eating, he makes his own scene, and goes to the tree, where he wants to rest in the shade and actively guess riddles. Therefore, the adults also came, as close as possible, not only to rest in the shade, but also to listen to riddles secretly. Listening to the girl first, Ma Yingying said: "A city in all directions, snow inside and sunny outside." Guess what? ”

"Luo Noodle Cabinet." The lock rushed to answer, and then asked: "The east wind blows, the west wind falls, a wave, a wave is high, the high waves are yellow, the high waves are lively, mosquitoes, birds, and beasts are laughing, who knows?" The children replied, "I know, it's ripe wheat." ”

Then Ma Mingzhu asked the question, he said: "A tree of grass and vines is fierce, holding two dolls in his arms. Guess what? Guo Ronghua said: "It's Baogu." She also asked: "Red hands, green hands, red and green hands throw the basket." Can you guess what? The children replied in unison: "It's chili." ”

It was Mamendun who came up with the question, and he said: "A piece of grass, running along the ground, blooming yellow flowers, and laying eggs, the name is Wei Zanzan." Can you guess what? "The children couldn't guess, so they were in a hurry. But he was proud, and he had no choice but to make a fool of himself, and said, "Tribulus terrestris." ”

It's time for Hu Xiaohua to come up with the question, she asked: "The appearance is black, black and white, and it looks like a pile of cones." Who guesses what? Huang Ennian stuck out his tongue and said, "It's." "The kids laughed and it stinked. Huang En said: "Giggles, big big, report to parents to have a baby; The sisters are so ostentatious in front of them, and it hurts to pout the ditch. Guess what? The children laughed and replied, "Is it a chicken laying eggs?" ”

It was the turn of the Tan family's children to come up with the question, and it was really extraordinary, Tan Qingshan said: "Three turns on the left, three turns on the right, the starry sky in the sky is a camp, Zi Chou Yin Mao looks at the killing, and moves in all directions." Guess what? Who understands, no one knows, he is also the answer to the mystery of himself, saying: "It's spiders and webs." "It's so hard, the kids don't talk about it, they don't laugh.

Liu Persimmon broke the atmosphere, she said: "Say husband and wife, don't meet, don't say it's good, just miss; One is hot, hot, and the other is cold and icy; Everyone praised them, but they just didn't speak. Guess what? The children smiled and continued to answer, "Is it the sun and the moon?" ”

When I asked Gao Fat Ya, she said: "A baby, white and fat, wearing a small hat, Niu Niu up." Who guesses what? The girl was ashamed and said, "Bah, it's ugly, it's not elegant." And they all dispersed. The tall fat girl blushed and hurriedly explained: "It's a teapot, what's the blame?" But the children dispersed, and went straight into the woods, and then went to find other places.

Therefore, the women laughed, and in their eyes, Hu Yinhua said: "Look, men chase women, this is men and women, starting from a young age, starting naturally." Ye Zi smiled: "You ghost, what do you want?" I didn't rest when I rested, but Hu Si didn't come. Hu Yinhua smiled: "Sister, you just pretend, how did you come out with a baby?" Ye Zi said: "Broken mouth, nonsense, no wonder the lazy man came to see you." Hu Yinhua said: "It's useless to see it, and I don't blame him, it's hard to endure alone." Cauliflower said: "Are you considerate? It's the bodhisattva's heart, why don't you pity it again, what can you do? Hu Yinhua said: "I'm too busy, I have to feed the children, you can go if you are idle." Ye Zi said: "It's exposed, why is it all this person?" And build a temple. The two said: "It doesn't matter if you build a temple, the Bodhisattva will know: if everyone is serious, how can there be a world?" "While they were laughing, someone asked them to assemble, and when the hour came, they all went.

It has been more than three months of work, and the temple was finally completed, and it was October. However, it is not very different, it does not look like the old military hall at all, it is just a big mansion. The first is that the pillars are very thin, and secondly, the glazed tiles are lacking, and they are bare, and there are too many differences. Therefore, the man was very disappointed, and the carpenter king said: "Don't worry, there is still the last work left, which is to erect the statue of the god." Once the statue is completed, it is solemn and sacred. "So they all looked forward to the image of God, and they discussed the image of God, and saw whom they supported. Therefore, there was a lot of discussion and discussion, but they still did not know which god to establish. The most important thing is that he didn't have an idea, so he asked Tan Deyi. Tan Deyi said: "Let's discuss." I had to discuss it again, and after more than a month of heated discussion, there was no conclusion. There was no way, so I continued to consult Tan Deyi, and Tan Deyi said: "There is no need to discuss, the statue has been erected, and I will wait for the county magistrate to unveil it, expose the mystery, and unveil the name of the temple." Therefore, he was angry and was played by him for more than a month. But he also calmed his anger, and finally had a god, which was Hutou Mountain's own god. So, waiting for the unveiling, waiting again and again, I want to know who the god of Hutou Mountain is, and the name of the temple. Finally arrived, the county magistrate came, but he sent a plaque, and he also had to greet it, and it was a grand welcome. Therefore, everyone, kowtowing for the second time, did not dare to raise their heads, and they felt: the county magistrate went straight into the courtyard of the Tan family. Only then did I look up, and I saw: a team of people and horses, carrying a plaque in front of them, wrapped in red silk, should be the name of the temple. The people behind carried the treasures, boxes and boxes, but the contents were invisible, and they also entered the courtyard of the Tan family. So waiting for the unveiling, but there were still a few days left, the Tan family decided: to celebrate warmly, sing a big opera for eight days, and attract juggling to get close to the New Year. At this time, people were idle, and they happened to be hungry, so the Tan family provided food. The purpose is to make people remember the good times, invite the sacred, so it should be the most solemn. Therefore, it is also sacred to build a stage, build it in the north of Shenxian Road, sit in the north and face south, and collect Hutou Mountain. Outside the stage, there is a slow uphill slope, which is convenient for watching the play, and you can continue to juggle, all for the sake of God. So I invited the troupe, and the famous Jixian Town Qinqiang Troupe was invited, which is also well-known in the northwest. In order to pay respect, the class owner came three days earlier to arrange the program.

The date has finally arrived, so the first two days of the opera are mainly to watch the play. There is also a lively scene, which is storytelling, chanting, boxing, and singing, all of which are placed south of the fairy road. The third day is the main day, to be unveiled, everyone is excited, finally to know. As a result, people from inside and outside have rushed back and forth, and outsiders do not hesitate to travel hundreds of miles, because Hutou Mountain is very famous. On this day, before dawn, the two parties had already converged to consecrate the statue. I saw that I saw a large area kneeling, it was black and oppressive, and people were still coming, turning into a sea of people. All the people are prostrate, kneeling forward, and from time to time burning incense, turning paper, and setting off firecrackers, the purpose is to catch the soul, and then hold the incense burner. In the incense burner, the wishes of the whole family have been put into it early, and this time I have come to attach the soul of the gods, so that it can be brought back after dark, and offered to the family, so that the time can be blessed. Therefore, only bowing and worshipping, the crowd has been extended, reaching a mile, and all of them are adhering to their dreams. Those who arrive first will give alms first and hand over the gifts to the Tan family, who can be empty-handed? asked for a wish, and praised it: "Hutou Mountain, I'm really lucky to have a Tan family." The wish was expressed, and then I walked away, still excited, and liked to see the temple. But see, it is so magnificent, covering an area of ten acres, divided into two courtyards, and the two courtyards are connected. The main courtyard is, three rooms and three entrances, with a protective hall, and wings on both sides. The second courtyard is the ancestral hall of the Tan family, which is also very majestic, towering, and is to feel the light of the Buddha at all times. In fact, if you want to obtain treasure, you can collect all the incense money. Anyone can see this, but it is difficult to explain.

The day finally dawned, and there was still an endless stream of people coming from all directions. So he burned paper, thought, and showed God that worshipping God and Buddha lies in sincerity, and the key is to have a bright heart. Therefore, grasp the fundamentals: cleanse the mind and purify the soul, so as to constantly greet the Buddha, ask the gods for protection and protection, and realize the virtues of the Buddha and praise the Buddha. So I looked for the scriptures, and the people who recited the scriptures were chanting at any time, and they came from other places, and they were pious old ladies. Therefore, the women of the Fu family gathered together, and they also brought cauliflowers, and Hu Yinhua, and listened to the plains people chanting scriptures. They knelt on the futon, then held the incense burner, inserted high incense, and listened to the plains chanting the "Talisman Mantra":

Jin Suzu Tian ancestor faxed the scriptures, and sacrificed to the gods in the Liujia altar;

The Nine Heavens Xuannu sat on the stage, and the wind and thunder were patrolled on both sides;

Holding ghosts and slaying demons, the magic spell thunders;

There are also charms to cure all diseases, and the six-character mantra does not stop;

Purify the heart, clear the mouth, the mind, the clear treasure to cure the ghost and protect the body;

Entering the meditation and chanting at the moment, the Tao Qi words are formed by the long pill;

The 100-day aura is currently revealed, and the heavenly product is a real person;

The secret of the curse is firmly remembered, but there is slackness to damage his body;

The mouth is called the Zhixin Conversion Ceremony, the Heavenly Palace Heavenly Master and the Great Heavenly Venerable.

……

Those who listen to this scripture do not understand it, but they also say that it is good. Chanting the scriptures: "That's right, the key is in a sincere word." Then he recited the "Guanyin Sutra":

Guanyin Bodhisattva Guanyin, Guanyin Bodhisattva saves sentient beings;

There are no disasters for all sentient beings, and no epidemics for all sentient beings;

A cup of tea comes to a cup of wine, and a scent of incense rises;

The heavenly palace and I passed on the word, and the motherless mother came to meet;

The black tiger spirit official came to protect, and the six gods of the house were safe.

……

I still don't understand this scripture, and it seems that I don't understand it, which makes everyone who listens to the scripture embarrassed. Only then did the chanting of the scriptures say: "It's nothing, it's easy to understand when you come down, it's "Picking Up Incense". Therefore he reads:

A fragrant man invited the Jade Emperor, the left green dragon and the right white tiger held the jade plate.

The two incense flowers invited the gods and bodhisattvas, and the left and right Jialan stabilized the world.

Mikami incense pleases the six gods of the family hall, and the left mountain god and the right land open the road.

The four incense warriors invited the immeasurable patriarch, and the left Zhou Gong and the right peach blossoms stood on both sides.

Wushang Xiangfeng invited the Tai Chi Ancestor, and the left black tiger and the right spirit official inspected the good and evil.

Six incense pampering, please Guanyin old mother, left Weituo right protector standing in front of the Buddha.

Qishang incense invited the old mother of the Yuansheng, the left baby and the right maiden to visit the king.

The eight incense flowers invite the golden mother of Yaochi, and all the bodhisattvas are merciful and compassionate.

The nine incense gods were invited to go to the throne and kneel in front of the gods to light the lanterns and shine brightly.

Ten incense incense to invite the ancient Buddha of Shakya, kneeling in the Buddha hall to lead the peace of the Dharma house.

When he had finished reciting this passage, he heard someone shouting, "The hour has come, and the light must be opened." Suddenly, people flocked to the mountain gate, and all activities stopped to see the unveiling. The name of the temple should be known first, and the men crowded in front, and the women all came back. However, the children are also in front, waiting for a long time, and the mountain baby holds the lock and waits at the front of the mountain gate. So I saw that the dojo was opened, and it was guided by the Taoist priests of the Louguan platform. There are also monks, it's two rituals, I don't know what's going on? All the bells and drums are ringing, and the music is bursting. Looking up, I saw that the name of the temple was covered with red silk, and the words were revealed. When he was finally about to be exposed, he saw Tan Deyi come up, pull down the rope, and float down the red silk, revealing three words in an instant: Mountain Temple. "How can it be called a mountain temple?" Shanwa is puzzled and unwilling, will there be a lack of a good name? Just as I was questioning, suddenly it was very choked, it was smoky, and it was a firecracker for a long time. Therefore, the people were alarmed, but they cried out, "At last there is a name." Everyone was shouting, but Shanwa thought: This can also be the word of the county magistrate? It's still black and fat. Then he entered the temple gate again, and then unveiled the statue of the god, so that the real consecration was made, and it was to let the statue see the glory. So, entering the first hall, unveiled by Tan Deyi, for the Venerable Guanyin. Re-enter the second hall, unveiled by Tan Long, offering the bear spirit and the tiger spirit, this is the righteous god, also called the main god. After entering the third hall, it was dedicated to the four masters and apprentices of Tang Sanzang, which was unveiled by Guo Mingli, which was regarded as taking care of him. In the end, when I entered the ancestral hall of the Tan family, I could only walk by the way, and I worshiped the ancestors of the Tan family, and my selfish purpose was very clear, and I didn't explain it.

It is only after the men have gone that the women come in, which is very religious. Therefore he knelt and approached every temple. As a result, they reached the sacred climax, not only to look up to the Buddha's face, but also to be guided by the Buddha and understand the Buddha's teachings. Therefore, kneel on the ground, kowtow neatly, approach the gods, and then put the Buddha's decree into the incense burner, and then hold the incense burner high. To do this, it is necessary to replace the drum music, remove the copper drums and cymbals, and the silk and bamboo orchestra to produce a detailed sound of flowing water. Then I can feel that it is the majesty of God, solemn, and solemn; Deacons, keep their eyes on the nations, and preach the gospel in all directions. Therefore, people accepted it, placed their wishes on the temple, accepted the Buddha's will on the soul, and communicated with man and God. And so, they flowed in like flowing water, and then flowed out like flowing water, and it went on and on. In this way, it will be dark, and it will be dark, and when it is dark, it will be the most powerful test of one's piety. Therefore, Cai is reluctant to go back, afraid that the gods will be lonely, and they must be loyal to the gods, and they have always been people inside and outside the temple. In the middle of the night, it was still smoky, purple and smoky, and the lights were dim. In the midst of the Buddha, all the gods are in place, examining life and monitoring the earth. But the main thing is to extinguish disasters and spread the gospel, so that they can drift above the clouds and enjoy the incense. This scene is really touching and proud, and I feel that it is a great thing to complete the temple repair.

The eight days were quickly over, and the people came back again, and the enthusiasm continued, mainly women. So it was postponed, and there were too many postponed gifts, so the Tan family decided: everyone who comes again will take care of the meal. Therefore, the women are more pious, pious one: I want the gods to remember that they are very sincere. Piety 2: Remember the Tan family, remember the great good people of Tan, and visit the ancestral hall of the Tan family. Women's piety continued until after the New Year, and then they calmed down and had to live, so there were fewer of them. However, it also came, and it was still lush for the incense, so three monks were recruited. The monks said, "Don't go, you have to stay for a long time." "Sure enough, I stayed, and I really didn't leave.
