Chapter 123: The Fa
'I'm sorry to keep the master waiting. Li Chen arrived at the hall, an old monk was sitting in the guest seat, a cup of tea in front, this old monk, holding it carefully, as if tasting some unparalleled delicacy in the world, Li Chen knew that the tea should be brewed by Ah Xiang, unless Ah Xiang in one day, the craft has improved by leaps and bounds, otherwise the taste is very ordinary.
'I don't know what to call the name of the master, but I came to find Chen today and what to teach. Li Chen sat on the main seat, picked up the teapot and poured himself a pot, he slowly got used to the taste of tea in the Tang Dynasty, but maybe I should buy it as a tea mountain?
Li Chen began to habitually think cranky, buy it as a tea mountain, and cook new tea according to his own ideas? Maybe it's a good idea. Maybe it's better to buy some untreated tea leaves and try them out?
'Amitabha, the poor path Dharma number is empty, there are a few disciples under the seat, and the benefactor saw the enlightenment the day before yesterday, and it is one. 'Oh, Master Wujing, the Master of Pure Space came today, I think it is a **** thing, and it has been arranged?' ’
'Yes. It's already arranged, just in the next few days. How about the Dragon Boat Festival. He put down the teacup in the clearance, "Dragon Boat Festival, it's okay, I don't know how much it costs." The Dragon Boat Festival is a bad day, and it seems to be good to do things
Dragon Boat Festival evil day, this reason is no longer testable, anyway, from ancient times to the present, the name of the Dragon Boat Festival evil day has been set, this day in the imperial calendar, is not suitable for everything.
All auspicious events such as marriage, engagement, moving, opening, starting, construction, and decoration, as well as funerals, visits, hospitalizations, etc., are avoided during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is especially taboo to give birth to a child on this day, and it is said that a child born on this day will be harmful to their parents, called "Maychild", and is regarded as an ominous person.
Therefore, it is customary to avoid children being born on this day, and there is even the custom of discarding children born on May 5.
is famous for the four princes of the Warring States Period, the source of the idiom of rooster and dog thief, Meng Weijun, he was born on May 5. When he was born, his father Tian Ying wanted to abandon him, and his mother secretly raised him.
In terms of cost, it only takes about 300 habits. In addition to the Impovern Temple, there are several Pengcheng Temples that are willing to participate in the grand event. ’
"Oh, that's good, three hundred, this price is reasonable, then it will trouble a few masters." Hearing this number, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it's not much, it's just a few days of happiness to make a profit. Now there are more than 10 theaters and restaurants in Paradise, and the daily profit is ordinary, and it can reach more than 100. That's twice as much as when I used to be in the liquor store.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a bit uneconomical to spend so much effort and only get twice the income of the wine store. However, after the initial peak, the sales volume of the liquor store began to decline, and Zui Hongchen was still a little more expensive.
Elysium, on the other hand, is quite stable. Moreover, Paradise has hired more people, which has also improved his status a little, selling the same products, Apple's status is not comparable to HTC.
The matter was negotiated, and on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Chen began to mobilize employees to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival, which was only open for half a day, because there was a dragon boat race in the morning.
Li Chen hung a bunch of long grass next to the gate, which was composed of calamus, wormwood, pomegranate flowers, garlic, and dragon boat grass to ward off evil spirits.
Calamus resembles a sword, inserted in the door to symbolize the exorcism of ominous, so there is a saying that "Pu Sword cuts a thousand evils", wormwood represents "Baifu", the root of the pomegranate flower can repel insects, the strong smell of garlic can drive away evil spirits, and the dragon boat grass is called "five rui in the sky". There are also pomegranates, caihua, calamus, mugwort leaves, and yellow gardenia as the five rui. Hung up the herbs, and there are still things to paste.
'So much smoke, what are you doing?' When he returned home, Li Chen also hung a bunch outside the gate, and was about to paste a picture on the door, when he saw smoke coming out of the yard, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a few things burning, and the smell was quite fragrant.
'Uncle. Xiaohu's face was a little black from the smoke, "This is the Dragon Boat Festival." ''Oh, I see, I bought a lot of stuff yesterday.'' ’
In fact, there is nothing special, they are all Chinese medicinal herbs, wormwood, angelica, atractylodes, etc., set these on fire, and use smell and ashes to drive away the plague.
Li Chen helped, followed a few small people to bring these things and smoke them back and forth, Ah Xiang came and gave a few people a bunch of things.
First of all, it is a tiger shaped with wormwood, and there are mugwort leaves pasted on it, and pomegranate flowers are also worn in different places. A small sachet, the sachet is made of herbs and realgar, cinnabar and other incense medicines to ward off evil spirits.
So many herbs will be used, because around the Dragon Boat Festival is just the day when the stems and leaves of the herbs are ripe, the herbs picked at this time have good medicinal properties and excellent efficacy, and people believe that the medicines picked on this day can cure all diseases. It's like Jin Daxia said that if a poisonous snake infests seven steps, there must be an antidote.
In the end, this is Baisuo, and it was me and the big head who made it. The big head pointed to the sachet with a colorful strand on it.
Colorful wisps are common in the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, also known as life-sustaining wisps, also known as life-sustaining silk, longevity threads, Baisuo, Bing Xuan, colorful silk, five-color silk, reels, etc., are knotted with five-color threads on behalf of the five elements, hang them at will where you want to hang, you can hang them on your body or at home, and there are also decorations like Ah Xiang, combined with sachets.
Then, they finished their breakfast and drank some realgar wine, Li Chen originally wanted to tell them the story of the white snake at the table, but then he thought that a bunch of bald heads were coming later, in case these children listened to it, it would be rude to these bald heads, how bad it would be.
After thinking about it, Li Chen thought that he hadn't posted the five-o'clock picture just now. The Five Seasons Chart, which can be called the Five Poison Diagram and the Five Poison Talisman, is a paper on which snakes, scorpions, toads, lizards, and centipedes are drawn on paper.
Not only hanging, but some areas will use red paper to draw a map of the five seasons, and then prick a needle on the body of the five poisons in the picture, which means stabbing the five poisons to death and preventing them from running rampant.
Some people use the five poisons as paper cutouts and stick them on their homes or children. There are also people who embroider the five poisons on their clothes or make the ornaments into five poison patterns, such as women's headdresses or children's clothing patterns, which means "fighting poison with poison".
To tell the truth, Xiaohong said these Dragon Boat Festival rules, and Li Chen was confused. Anyway, not everyone did this, so Li Chen hung up the Five Poisons Diagram.
The point is not that Li Chen hung up anything, but that Li Chen remembered that he heard that some areas would hang Zhong Kui to represent the exorcism of evil ghosts and plague ghosts. told a story about Zhong Kuide.
Zhong Kui is so pitiful, how can he dislike others because he is ugly, people have worked hard for many years, and they have wasted their hard work in this way. Ah Xiang is very sympathetic. Yes, no one asked for ten years in the cold window, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, but he was actually erased by others. Li Chen sighed, if he really wants to change him, he won't be killed, and he probably wants to kill the dog emperor.
However, if he still has any relatives and friends, it is impossible for Bacheng to be able to scrape all his body, and pull the emperor off the horse, if he assassinates the emperor on the spot in the Golden Palace, it may be a scrape...
After breakfast, they went to the door and waited, and then a group of monks came. Brought his own magic weapons, Li Chen only waved open the big ones, put some tables in front of the door, and let the monks put the magic weapons on the door, Li Chen commanded a few small hundreds of offerings, and then the monks began to hold ****.
'I was going to see the dragon boats. In a solemn environment, the puppy was unable to sit still, and said, "My legs are numb." In front, Li Chen took a few small and some employees in the back, and put a nursery on the ground for people to sit.
'Quiet, this is a grand ****. Li Chen said in a low voice, "If anyone is not quiet, let him copy the book a hundred times tomorrow." The puppy stopped talking with a bitter face, but he still grimaced and moved his feet from time to time.
Li Chen didn't expose him, in fact, even his feet were numb. But he still had to endure it, after all, he was the master. This **** cost him a lot of money. Well, well, it's a lot, but under his expectations, it's not as much blood as he expected to be bouted, but he also promised some other conditions...
You are saying that the bhikshus should also enter Bliss, and each one should speak. Li Chen was stunned and said, "That's right." The old monk said with a smile, "The monks don't need any reward, the main purpose is to preach the Dharma and promote the Buddha, the donor only needs to arrange a time period, and our monastery will send the monks." ’
Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This old monk is a shrewd fellow. In fact, the bhikshu came to trouble him, and it was not surprising to him, and it was also outside. Because he estimated that if the bhikshu was smart enough, he would cooperate with him, because for the temple, the real benefit was the believers, not the money for renting the theater. However, if the bhikshus are short-sighted and unwilling, then it is inevitable that they will be ruined and calamity.
It's not a problem, and one of them agreed. This old monk is really hard to deal with. came out like this, and as a result, he got the lining and gained face again. Not only did the theater reduce its income, but it also made up for it, and it was also able to get the monks stationed.
However, Li Chen smiled, there is nothing to care about about this kind of thing, in life, it is impossible to take advantage of it and not suffer losses. He can still afford this loss, and it is best for everyone to make a fortune in harmony.
Besides, it's not necessarily a loss, but it's a win-win situation overall, he can have more people to arrange shifts. Although he could use Zhuyin to train a bunch of speakers in a short period of time, it was not as convenient as a bhikshu who was already literate. In this way, a few hundred yuan of money will be used as a signing fee, and when you think about it, you can feel much more comfortable.
Yes, maybe this is a way for Buddhism to test whether he is targeting Buddhism and whether he has an opinion on Buddhism.
Li Chen thought far away for a while, and didn't wake him up until the sound of the end of the rock. This made Li Chen breathe a sigh of relief, this boring **** is finally over.
