Sun Shanren wanted to visit the squire Mingliu in the county seat, and the location was chosen in Tianning Temple outside the city.

Two people from this county came to visit Li Ling. After chattering about his studies, he finally brought the topic to Sun Shanren.

"Brother Li is the Xie Yuan of the township test, the well-deserved leader of the students in this county, and Sun Shanren also admires him very much, so he asked the two of us to come to inform Brother Li, and we must appreciate it when the time comes!"

"There are two old brothers, and the younger brother will definitely go to disturb him when the time comes!" Li Ling agreed with a smile, and he didn't know what Sun Shanren's intentions were, so he actually found someone to come to Li's house as a lobbyist three times and twice, did he really want to pull him into the water.

Tianning Temple he still knows, it is a small temple not far from the city, it is said that it is dilapidated inside, and he doesn't know why Sun Shanren chose the location here.

"Young master, what you said is the old yellow calendar, the first thing Sun Shanren did when he came to this county was to recast the golden body of the Buddha, so that the incense of Tianning Temple was vigorous, and I also heard that the great monk inside was quite miraculous!".

No wonder the location was set there, where did Sun Shanren want to entertain the squires, obviously he wanted to show them his public morality.

Xiao Ba's words also aroused Li Ling's curiosity, and he also wanted to see what method Sun Shanren used to make the dead wood spring and restore incense to a broken temple.

"Since the young master wants to go, then I'll go and prepare, and by the way, I will collect some information about Tianning Temple for you!" Xiaoba also became interested in Sun Shanren, what did he throw so much money in this county for no reason?

Tianning Temple is five miles away from the east city gate, and there is a paved road of azure bricks from a long distance, stretching to the temple gate.

At this time, in front of the temple is a bluestone staircase, with a vermilion gate, which is completely different from the previous desolate appearance.

"The two donors came to the small temple to worship the Buddha? Do you need to 'please' a few pillars of incense back, these are all opened by the monks, one penny and one pillar of silver."

As soon as the two of them reached the temple gate, a young monk who had been ordained came over and sold them the incense and candles in his hand.

What is surprising is that these incense candles are surprisingly expensive, you must know that one penny of silver in this era is enough for a family of three for half a month's living expenses!

"I'm sorry, we're not here to make incense!". Xiaoba finally couldn't help it, a penny factor and a pillar of incense, are we idiots?

"The purpose of those two donors coming to our temple." The little monk glanced at Li Ling and the two with some disdain, they were dressed like scholars and scholars, even if you are here to play, you should always worship when you enter the temple gate!

"We came by promise!" Hachi also felt the unfriendliness in the eyes of the little monk, but he didn't really think about buying those expensive incense candles.

Xiao Ba handed Li Ling's invitation to the little monks, since Sun Shanren invited them to Tianning Temple as guests, the monks in these temples should also know.

"Amitofo! It turned out to be a distinguished guest invited by Sun Shanren, and he was offended! ”。 The little monk recited a Buddha name aloud and said: "The temple has prepared some fasting meals in the back wing, and the donor will go to Sun Shanren to discuss things after using them!" ”。

The monk's attitude of being condescending made Li Ling very unhappy, he ignored the little monk, and went straight into the temple.

Compared with the outside of the temple, there are more people inside, especially outside the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is actually a long queue, and all the people are holding a pillar of incense and waiting anxiously.

Out of curiosity, Li Ling quietly walked to the door of the main hall with Xiaoba, and before the two of them could enter, he heard the deacon's monk shouting: "If you worship the Buddha, please go to the back and line up!" ”。

Li Ling ignored the two Arhats squatting at the door, but stood in front of the two and looked into the hall.

Xiaoba glanced at the two monks without anger, and the monks in Tianning Temple were too arrogant, how to see that all the people were pilgrims.

In the middle of the main hall is a huge statue of the Buddha, the Buddha clasped his hands together and smiled, but below is several futons side by side. On the left is a box used to collect donations.

Whoever enters the main hall must first burn incense, kneel on the futon and pray sincerely.

The young woman entered the main hall from Li Ling's side, holding a six or seven-year-old child in her hand.

After the woman finished the incense, she began to pray: "Please have mercy on my son, my son has been catching a cold since yesterday and has not recovered, please give me medicine!" “。

The woman's pious prostrations finally had an effect, and a packet of herbs fell from the palm of the Buddha's hand and landed right on the plate in front of the woman.

The monk in the hall grabbed the herbs and handed them over: "Congratulations to this sister-in-law, Ling Lang is hopeful of recovery."

When the woman saw that the Buddha had given her elixir, she hurriedly bowed down, but her face was overjoyed: "My son is finally saved!" ”。

"Sister-in-law Wang is really a blessing, the Buddha's elixir will definitely be able to make her Xiaolang recover!".

"Xiao Langjun has been blessed by the Buddha this time, and he will definitely be safe for the rest of his life!"

The pilgrims in the back queue admired the luck of the sister-in-law of the Wang family, and hoped that they would be favored by the Buddha later.

The sister-in-law of the Wang family was a little fluttering by everyone's praise, and she grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them into the box, and made sesame oil money.

Two more people came to the Buddha for medical treatment, but unfortunately they were really not pious enough, and the Buddha did not give herbs.

There was another burst of discussion, and the two people who didn't ask for herbs left the hall in shame, thinking that next time they must bring more silver taels and buy more incense and candles.

Li Ling saw clearly that some pilgrims did not ask the Buddha for medicine at all, but directly threw a silver ingot into the money box.

Xu was that these people's wishes were fulfilled before they came to Tianning Temple to repay their kindness, and the people in line saw this scene and became even more eager.

"This benefactor, you can't go over, the Buddha here only accepts incense and candles that have been opened, if you are allowed to enter, the evil Buddha monk will not be able to explain!" An old man in his sixtieth year wanted to go in, but was stopped by the deacon's monk.

"Master, let me in, my son has a bad cough, this time I owe it first, and when the crops are harvested next year, the old man will definitely make up for it."

The old man was stopped, and his head immediately sweated, his son was seriously ill, and several doctors couldn't see it well, so he remembered that Tianning Temple had a Buddha who could heal the sick.

It's just that the family's money is almost spent, so I have no choice but to buy some ordinary incense candles nearby.

"Go away, can the Buddha also give credit? Don't come if you don't have money! ”。

"You have sinned the Buddha, isn't it true that what we ask for will not be fulfilled? You'd better leave! ”。

The crowd boiled again, and it was unanimously decided that the old man would be expelled, lest he get in the way.

The deacon's monk made a "please" gesture to the old man with an expressionless face and drove him out of the hall.

"Hachi, let's go!". A Buddha who still has to choose incense, Li Ling really has no interest in watching.
