Chapter 8: Divine Acting

"What you want will be fixed; Those who want to be weak will be strengthened; What is wanted to be abolished must be fixed; Take what you want, stick to it. Although this method is small, it is not bad! She smiled slightly.

"Master, it's not a shame for a monk to take the Taoist doctrine as a guideline!" Tang Yi said quietly behind his back.

Li Zhen smiled slightly, and said disapprerovitically: "Little donor, you don't understand this, Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, turned Hu into a Buddha, and then Bodhidharma crossed the sea, drank and pecked, cause and effect cycle!" ”

"Hehe, fresh, as far as I know, Lao Tzu's Hu Sutra was just introduced to Middle-earth by the Buddhists, and it was only made in order to solicit business, most of which are apocrypha, how do you believe it?"

This kid knows a lot, and he really smiled slightly: "Amitabha, whether you believe it or not, the old man believes it anyway." You can't let your disciples believe in a foreign religion! ”

Tang Yi blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Master, I'm starting to respect you a little!" ”

On the third pole of the day, there were more and more pilgrims in the Tianfei Palace, not only the villagers around Liuhebao, but even some wealthy people in Taicang Prefecture also rushed over.

Since they come every year, there is nothing unusual about it, just a formality.

But along the way, I saw a lot of pilgrims chattering, laughing and laughing, whenever someone took out something such as Buddha statues, bracelets, peace charms, etc., it attracted a burst of envy and admiration.

"See, this peace charm was consecrated by the master himself, it is spiritual, and it can bless people! It's just a pity, if you come early, you can get the Buddha statue. The thin middle-aged man was a little regretful, but then smiled again: "But it's better than nothing, don't look forward to it, only the first 100 people have gifts, you want things, come early in the future!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several pilgrims showed regretful expressions, but suddenly someone behind them laughed angrily: "Look at your virtue, what is there to brag about, I have a Buddha statue here." ”

Everyone turned around suddenly, and sure enough, a tall and strong man came, dragging a colorful statue of Guanyin on his thick black hands.

The thin middle-aged man was dumbfounded, and the other people were obviously more advanced than him, and asked unconvinced: "You, how did you get it?" ”

"Hehe, let me tell you, it was sent by the master in the temple."

"You're not in the top hundred, how could I give it to you?" The little thin man's eyes widened.

The big man laughed: "If you don't know anything, you dare to brag." Tell you, Uncle Ben spent ten taels of silver, burned a stick of incense, the master gave me a statue of Guanyin, and promised to put my father's spirit card in the main hall, every day the master chanted the scriptures. Speaking of which, the big man's eyes were a little moist.

"My father was in charge of the boat, so he died in the river, and he didn't even have a corpse! This time, it's okay, there is a master who recites the scriptures every day, and he can also ascend to Bliss early, and I can be regarded as filial piety! ”

I see, hearing Dahan's words, everyone couldn't help but stretch out their thumbs.

"What a filial son, although the old man is dead, he is blessed, and the descendants are good!"

Hearing everyone's praise, Dahan's vanity was completely satisfied, not to mention how happy he was, and there was wind when he walked.

Their conversation was all overheard by the people in the carriage on the road, this person's name was Xu Tiancai, who was just in his early thirties, and the family started the silk business at the beginning of the year.

Hearing Dahan talk about his father, Xu Tiancai couldn't help but think of his father, who had worked hard all his life and saved such a big family business, but he didn't enjoy it at all.

As for himself, he wanted to keep filial piety for 100 days, but he was busy with business, and after only three days, he hurriedly handled the business.

It's all unfilial when I think about it!

If you can set up a spirit card for your father in the Tianfei Palace and enjoy the incense, you can also make up for the shortcomings in your heart, and you don't have to wake up often when you dream back at midnight.

"Quick, hurry up and go to the Tianfei Palace, I want to burn incense." Xu Tiancai shouted anxiously.

Hearing the boss's command, the handlebar type hurriedly waved the whip, not to mention how fast the car ran.

Not long after, when he arrived at the gate of Tianfei Palace, Xu Tiancai jumped out of the carriage, and at a glance, there were dozens of people lining up at the door alone, waiting to burn incense, and the little novice ran back and forth.

Xu Tiancai's brows furrowed, there are so many people, when will he be in a hurry to return to Taicang! A little novice ran up, and he stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Little Master, there's something I want to ask below."

"Amitabha, donor, please speak." Xuchen said politely.

"That's the case, I heard that your temple can set up a spirit card for the deceased ancestors and enjoy the incense, but is there such a thing?"

Xuchen looked up and down, the person who came was dressed in silk and wearing a jade pendant under his ribs, he didn't look like an ordinary product, it was the fat sheep that Tang Yi said, and it was simply intolerable not to slaughter a knife.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Donor, please come with me!" ”

Xu Chen took Xu Tiancai around the main entrance, entered the Tianfei Palace through the side door, and went directly to the guest room, where he really sat inside.

"Master, this donor wants to set up a spirit card for the ancestors."

"Got it."

Liao Zhen was still immersed in horror at this time, and Tang Yi came up with these small methods, but they were a great stimulus to the pilgrims. In fact, the temple fair is not only for devout believers to come, but also for many people to see the excitement, they don't know anything, they all think that spending more is better than spending less, and giving more to the Buddha, and blessings will naturally be more. Those who are never willing to spend money will also throw three or five coppers, not for anything else, sell a peace of mind, the emphasis is on participation!

Those who wear silk and satin are naturally unwilling to be the same as mud legs, whether it is burning incense or giving alms, they must have an extra section, so as to show their identity.

Usually, regardless of true filial piety or false filial piety, they all compete to burn incense enough, and reward more sesame oil money, just to be able to place the ancestors' spirit cards, so that everyone can see how willing to spend money.

He really saw it in his eyes, and he was frustrated in his heart, why didn't he come up with such a simple thing

"Master, the disciple is polite."

"Donor, please take a seat!" With a warm smile on his face, he is like the Maitreya Buddha in front of the temple, responding to his requests.

Xu Tiancai sat down and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Master, I heard that as long as your temple burns ten taels of silver incense, you can set up a spiritual tablet for your ancestors, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhen Zhen frowned, shook his head resolutely, and said: "The donor said with a smile, the temple accepts alms from the ten directions, and gives back to the ten directions, how can you care about how much alms!" A porridge and a meal are merits, and mountains of gold and silver are also merits, the same is charity, there is no difference! ”

These few sentences are said lightly, worthy of being a master, and the insight is different.

Listen to this meaning, not to spend money to stand cards, so what can you do?

Xu Tiancai looked at Xuchen for help, his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Xuchen, what is going on, the teacher asked you to make a convenient door for your benefactors, and to surpass the soul, it is to do good deeds and make merits, how did you get contaminated with copper stench!" ”

When Xu Chen heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said pitifully: "Master, there is no way for the disciples, there are so many pilgrims, if everyone is standing, wouldn't the entire Tianfei Palace not be able to put it, so ...... it."

"Well, you also said that, I think the old man is confused." After thinking about it, he said, "That's it, tell it, and the matter of the spirit card will stop!" When you have a perfect idea, let's do it! ”

Don't! How long is it going to be pushed!

Xu Tiancai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he worked hard to come, if he stopped, wouldn't he be busy in vain, how could he be willing! Besides, this old monk is indeed different, others come to the door to turn the fate, he is good, the silver is sent to the front, stunned.

Look at the shabby monk's clothes on the body, the solemn face of the treasure, people can not be good-looking, the sea water is not measurable, it looks like a monk with a way!

"Master, please listen to what the disciple said, the southeast is the land of poetry and books, and virtue and filial piety are the foundation of life. The ancestors resigned, and they could be worshiped in the temple, how many filial sons' wishes, master, can you stop the disciples' filial piety! ”

Zhenzhen frowned, recited the Buddha's name, with a compassionate face, Pudu sentient beings, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Amitabha, donor, you are making the old man embarrassed!" ”

Tang Yi, who was outside the window, snorted and almost squirted, "You can say this, master, god acting!" ”
