Chapter 114: Donate money and worship God
The pockmarked face is actually not so grudgeful, of course, except when facing Li Gouyu, the relationship between the two was not eased until a few days ago when Li Gouyu used his strength to use his strength, but when he faced others, this person was actually fine, no, Fang Cai was still fighting with Feng Yunshan and others.

On the way, they bought some snacks and fruits, and everyone got on the ox cart and ate while going southeast.
This time, I want to go, but this is the holy place of Yanzhou Mansion in the minds of scholars, but all those who come to Yanzhou Mansion must come here to worship.
"Go east and south along this city wall, walk a few miles further, you can see the Jishen Temple, and further south, there is the Kuixing Tower."
While chewing the snack in his mouth, he said with a pockmarked face, This person from Fucheng has been here many times, and he doesn't say that it looks like his own home, and he is not a stranger anyway, so he pointed to the front and said.
The ox cart swayed for a long time, looking at a big temple over there from a distance, the scale seems to be not small, there should be several people entering the house, and there is a huge signboard at the door - the Temple of the God of Machines.
"There are many places where silkworms are raised and weaving cloth will build this machine temple, which enshrines the body grandfather and the body grandmother, our family is doing silk business, every time I came to Fucheng before, my father always had to buckle my head to worship in this machine temple, what's the matter, brothers, anyway, it is also a god, now we will step forward on a stick of incense?"
Mazi said with a smile: "Anyway, it's also a god, the so-called worship when you meet a god, this imperial examination is a matter of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, you have to smoke from the ancestral tomb to get a good ranking back, although the fuselage grandfather and the fuselage grandmother don't care about this scientific examination, but people may also have relatives with Zhong Kui's master!" Or are we also on the top of the incense? ”
About touching is the family is in the silk business, or maybe the gods are used to worshiping, the pockmarked face actually picked up everyone to worship the body grandfather, the students are funny, anyway, a stick of incense, both gods, worship on the worship.
Jumping off the ox cart, a group of students in green shirts and elegant walked into the machine god temple, pious incense, and came forward to worship.
After worshipping this machine temple, the students simply abandoned the ox cart, got off the car and walked, saying that it was not comfortable to sit on the car all the time, no matter how stable the ox cart was, it was always squeaky and twisted, and it was still uncomfortable to sit for a long time, so I simply didn't sit, got out of the car and walked away, anyway, Kui Xinglou is not far from here.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, there is a corner tower on this side of the city wall, and a few big characters on it are Kuixing Tower.
Many places in ancient China have built Kui Xing Tower, this place can be said to be a holy place in the minds of scholars, all the students of the scientific examination will bow in front of Kui Xingye, pious to death, this time the students go out to play, naturally can not forget to worship this Wenqu Xing.
After dressing properly and dusting off their bodies, the students looked serious and stepped into the Kuixing Tower.
Every year when the imperial examination opens, this Kuixing Building is particularly lively, and students who come and go will run to Kuixinglou to pay respects, and many of them still come from afar to ask God for blessing.
All the students with the bustling flow of people this into the Kui Xing Building, a gate tower is a huge compound, an octagonal hexagonal pavilion in the courtyard, six pavilion pillars are painted with dragons, the top of the pavilion is a golden glazed tile, gorgeous and beautiful, it can be seen that the original construction of this Kui Xing Lou is also really spent a lot of thought.
After the octagonal hexagonal pavilion is a huge incense burner, dozens of hundreds of arms-thick incense cigarettes rise up, quite a bit of fairy wind bones, about to learn that Buddhism to turn into a fate, there is also a merit box next to the incense burner, most of the students who came to pay homage are also generous, take out the money, let Grandpa Kuixing see that we are also generous and generous to the people!
"I'll donate fifty taels!"
The pockmarked face of this person is the most extravagant, and when he saw that there was a merit box in Kuixing Building, he was in a hurry to take out the silver in his arms, as if it was a big rebellion if he didn't donate, you said that Wenqu Xing looked at us so generously, and he couldn't take care of himself when he came to Japan for the scientific expedition?
"I'll donate too."
Feng Yunshan's family is also better, the pockmarked face has already taken the lead, this person is naturally not to be outdone, so he took out three silver ingots of ten taels from his arms, which also entered the merit box.
"I donate eleven taels, not one out of ten thousand, only one out of ten!"
That's a lot of! Ouyang said while taking out the silver, saying that he would throw the eleven taels of silver into the merit box, with a pious face, and he also had a dream of one out of ten miles in his heart.
The competition in the government examination is so fierce, don't you ask for one out of ten miles to ask for your name after Sun Shan? Zhao Youfeng was a little funny, but he didn't break it, he grabbed a silver ingot of five taels from his arms and threw it into the merit box, even Wang Lun of Dongping Prefecture, who had the weakest sense of existence and had been silent on the road, also took out the silver taels from his arms and threw them in.
"Brother Dog, don't you donate one?"
All the students gave Grandpa Kuixing some money, but at this time, Li Gouyu has not yet been released.
"Well, donate some." Li Gouyu originally thought that if no one mentioned it, the silver would be forgotten, after all, the is unpalatable, and the money is hard to earn, especially thinking of the various evil deeds of the Red Cross Society of China in later generations, these so-called donations Li Gouyu will inevitably have some rejection in his heart, besides, even if you donate your own business, is it possible that this is only a statue of Kui Xingye, can you still protect you from high school?
Syllable......
The sound of a copper falling into the merit box is clearly audible.
A penny?
Nima, you Li Gouyu actually donated a penny?
Everyone was shocked: Are you Li Gouyu looking forward to your name falling to Sun Shan all day long? Kuixing Building actually donated only a penny?
Mazi's face was first surprised, then angry, and then disgusted, if Li Gou usually donated this penny when he only brought three or five taels of food money on this baby, but this baby just won thirty taels of silver a few days ago! Besides, this house test is approaching, and your baby is not stingy and donates it, and now the big guys are all colored and silver are thrown into the merit box, and as a result, your baby lost a penny?
Do you want food when you are the master of Kuixing? When you are Grandpa Wenquxing, you can't eat, come to you to beg? You must know that people are in charge of the world's articles! You must know that you are here to ask for someone's business, not someone to ask for you!
"You're only giving a penny!?"
Everyone is full of disgust, even Zhao Youfeng feels so disrespectful, you are afraid that the bulging bag in the mezzanine is not to mention dozens of taels of silver, and all the students are also generous, just ask Grandpa Wenquxing to bless you, but why is it your turn to be so stingy?
"The family is poor, and it is not easy for my father and mother to earn some money, so I can't bear to go out and squander it."
Li Gou said humbly: "The gods are not short of money, and sincerity is spiritual." ”
Hmph, dog meat can't be on the table! Mazi waved his sleeves with hatred on his face, it stands to reason that Li Gou has nothing to do with how much money he has left? But this person still looked disgusted, and he flicked his sleeves and went to the Kui Star Tower.
All the students were a little hateful, Feng Yunshan had only changed his opinion of Li Gouyu's image in the past few days, and this time he fell to the bottom again, and after glancing at Li Gouyu, he also followed the pockmarked face into Kuixing Tower, this guy, so stingy, I believe it won't be a big deal!
Kui Xing in Chinese history refers to Zhong Kui of the Tang Dynasty when he blessed the holy king of the town house, legend has it that this person dominates the fate of scientific research and is in charge of the rise and fall of articles in the world, so in the hearts of this Confucian students, this Kui Xing has a supreme position, and enters the Kui Xing Pavilion, its main hall, and the statue of Kui Xing is sculpted.
This Kui Xingye has a hideous face, a golden body and a green face, red hair and ringed eyes, and two feet on his head, as a whole, he seems to be a ghost, and the shape is quite weird, holding an ink fountain in his left hand, holding a brush in his right hand, and the golden rooster with his right foot is independent, stepping on the head of a big fish in the sea, and his left foot is raised and kicked, and his feet are the Big Dipper.
"Do you know why this Kui Xingye is so stylish?"
About touching is angry that the limelight on this road has been won by pockmarked faces, Feng Yunshan is not good at talking at this time, and he also grabbed the fan and asked.
"Ao, what else is there to pay attention to if this Kui Xingye is so difficult?"
It is clear that Feng Yunshan wants to show off, Zhao Youfeng is a good person to speak, so he will follow his words and ask questions, but it is natural to say that the shape of the person Kui Xingye is so exquisite, Zhao Youfeng is ignorant, and he has read it in that book, but it is not good to say that it is not good, there is a person next to him who is eager to try and want to show off, so he gave Feng Yunshan a step down.
"Naturally, there is a particular one." Feng Yunshan pulled the fan and smiled chicly: "Look at this Kui Xingye, what he grabbed with his left hand is for the ink fountain, what is the ink fountain for?" The so-called curved ruler can be turned into a square and round device, and the straight line is adjusted to the pillars of talent, this ink fountain is the magic weapon for training the world's scholars and pillars, so our Kuixing grandfather grabbed the ink fountain with his left hand, in order to train the talents of the world's pillars!
Every time there is an exam, the names of students all over the world will be put into the ink fountain of this Kuixing grandfather, which is quite a bit of a choice! ”
"I see." Mazi face admired, saying that this guy has been to this Kuixing Building several times, but what does this Kuixing grandfather's shape mean, I really haven't studied it deeply, Liang's father is in business, not to mention illiterate, anyway, he is not a knowledgeable person, and he really doesn't know about the attention of these scholars.
"What about this brush, what's so important?" Ouyang didn't know very well, and seeing that Feng Yunshan looked like a know-it-all at this time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Wolf Hao is for the Zhu Pen, Kui Xingye's left hand ink bucket is the name of the world's students, and the right hand is a little Zhu Pen, which means that Kui Xingye has taken a fancy to this person's article, and this person's title on the gold list is no longer a problem.
There is also this right foot, Kui Xingye's right foot is stepping on the head of the big fish, which means that it is the first to dominate! Choosing this student will naturally be the title of the gold list and dominate the list, which is also the proverbial Kui Xing point champion......"
If children know something, they can't wait! This Feng Yunshan also seems to be a big mouth, probably in a hurry to show that he is knowledgeable and talented, without waiting for everyone to ask, he said all the muttering brains, where can he care about the pain in his mouth at this time?
Showmanship is more important than anything else! Looking at the many students in the Kuixing Pavilion, they also pricked up their ears to listen to what this Feng Yunshan was talking about, this guy was even more proud, and his tail was about to hit the sky! Great mortals have some vanity, and even more so half-grown children.
After Feng Yunshan finished speaking, these people naturally knew what Zhong Kui was the champion, so they began to bow down.
Worship God is naturally also particular, the first to worship is this Feng Yunshan, I saw this Feng Yunshan pious grabbed three big incense, and he was still chattering in his mouth.
"Please, Zhong Kui, the top of the list, Zhong Kui is really revealed, send us Fulu Shou Xi'an."
After speaking, he bowed a few times and put on a big incense religiously.
It is said that this Lord Zhong Kui is not only Kui Xing and Wenqu Xing, but also the Taoist Blessed Town House Sage, so when he pays homage, the student will not just talk about the scientific examination, naturally this is with Fu Shou and peace and the like, anyway, it is a good thing, everyone wants to say, Zhong Kui also has this ability, and Fu Lu Shou Xi'an will also find this Kui Xing Ye.
All the people did the same, took the great incense, recited the same thing as this mantra in their mouths, bowed down with devotion, and poured incense with devotion.
The dogs who came over in later generations are considered to be atheistic, and they don't believe in these cows, ghosts, snakes, gods and the like, but at this time, the students who come and go are all worshipping sincerely, and they are helpless, and they are helpless.
