Chapter 12 Lighting a lamp in front of the Buddha can increase the life of ten years
There are happy events in Taiping Town.
A shopkeeper, a shopkeeper, two people tied the knot, which can be said to be a good story in this environment in ancient times, but this is a good day to get married, but the store manager of the drunken moon building is nowhere to be seen, and the guest asks, it is said that he went to the field and entrusted the store and his daughter to the little two.
Coinciding with yesterday's heavy fire and rain, the houses were burned two, today's happy event for the people in the town, is considered to be a joy, the people are vying to congratulate, by Lin Dong as a witness marriage, a marriage is a complete success.
In the evening, when all the guests returned, the shopkeeper was sending off customers, and he saw Lin Dong holding a bamboo cane, alone, mixed in with the guests and about to leave.
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master."
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and blended into the crowd of guests to stop Lin Dong.
Seeing this, the surrounding guests also stayed for the time being to see what happened to the groom stopping Lin Dong.
"You, groom, shouldn't you be in the room with the bride on your wedding night, and come out to pester me?"
Lin Dong said to the shopkeeper: "If you talk about the house money, I have already put it in the A-shaped room, don't worry about it." ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Dong pushed away the shopkeeper and prepared to leave.
"Immortal Chief!"
The shopkeeper was about to kneel down when he boarded, but he was held by Lin Dong, he couldn't kneel down anyway, looked at Lin Dong and cried silently, and said: "The immortal chief rushed to this Taiping town last night, punished the traitor and eliminated the evil, rained and extinguished the fire, and had no sleep all night, and today he is doing my marriage, and now everything is just peaceful, you should enjoy two days of purity here with me, and let me express my heart, how can I leave in this starry night...... Not. ”
When he spoke, the shopkeeper grabbed Lin Dong's sleeve and never relaxed.
"Ugh."
Lin shook his head and sighed, and said: "This is all too peaceful, isn't it just the time for me to leave, in front of this, there are fools who practice filial piety, fools hang themselves, fools die in front of fools, and fools donate incense money." ”
After finishing speaking, I didn't see Lin Dong and his movements, his sleeves had already broken free in the hands of the shopkeeper, the bamboo cane was a little, the pace moved, and he had already walked up in the crowd, the shopkeeper wanted to chase, but there was a flow of people obstructing him, the shopkeeper shouted, Lin Dong didn't look back, and quietly disappeared.
"Little two."
The crowd of onlookers stopped Xiao Er and asked, "You said that the rain in Taiping Town was caused by this immortal?" ”
The rain in the early morning is too strange, the rain comes when the fire comes, and the rain goes when the fire leaves, the villagers in this Taiping town thought it was the gods and the gods, but they heard the fairy rain in the mouth of the shopkeeper.
"Naturally, it was descended by immortals."
The shopkeeper looked at the direction where Lin Dong was going, and said, "If it weren't for the mercy of the immortals, this Taiping Town would have been reduced to a sea of fire and ruins......
"Immortal what?"
When the townspeople asked, if they knew the name, they would have a basis for offering sacrifices in the future.
"The immortal does not have the name of Immortal, his name is Lin Dong."
The shopkeeper said slowly.
Lin Dong......
The villagers of Taiping Town silently chanted the name.
The stars are dotted, and the moon is bent like a sickle.
Lin Dong went to the Ten Thousand Bat Cave of Kongsang Mountain, and went to the Necromantic Abyss Dripping Blood Cave to find the first volume of the Book of Heaven, but during the day, he counted a hexagram for the road ahead, and went to the Necromantic Abyss Dripping Blood Cave, there was indeed no obstacle, but along the way, there were many injustices.
Practicing and cultivating, and practicing and doing, after this divination, Lin Dong did not go straight to the Ten Thousand Bat Cave, but walked a little farther, towards Natai'an Town.
A person, a bamboo cane, Lin Dong's steps were not in a hurry, he walked the official road, crossed the path, walked a few miles in the uninhabited barren grass, and passed the desperate ridge where the store manager died, and he had already entered the territory of Tai'an.
In today's world, the righteous path is prosperous, the evil demons retreat, Qingyunmen, Tianyin Temple, and Incense Valley are the pillars of the righteous path, and there are more than 1,000 sects of Xiuzhen after that, but they are all mediocre, and few can enter the competition of this great sect.
And in this world, the Buddha is the most prosperous.
Those who worship the Tao are headed by Qingyun.
Those who worship the Buddha are respected by the sound of heaven.
The two sides expanded their beliefs and also made concessions to each other, for example, there is no Buddhist temple within a hundred miles of Qingyunmen, and there is no Taoist temple within a hundred miles of Tianyin Temple, and in other places, they are inferior to each other.
Just like this Tai'an Town, the monk who came here a few years ago is called Faci, is one of the proud disciples of Tianyin Temple, not long after coming here, there are many miracles, so that the Taoist temple that was originally here has less faith, and in the end there is no incense money support, this Taoist temple can not be opened, one night, thunder came, the Taoist temple collapsed, and then the Taoist priests in this temple were dispersed.
In Tai'an Town, it is now the Tai'an Temple under the jurisdiction of Tianyin Temple.
Lin Dong traveled through the starry night, crossed the Desperate Ridge, and walked for two hours, and he already saw the sporadic lights of the town.
This Tai'an Town is also a prosperous place, densely populated, but it is not like Taiping Town, where lights are lit at night to drive away bats, that is, there are officers and soldiers dozing off at the entrance of the town, and Lin Dong walked past them, and he didn't notice it.
When the sky is getting brighter, there are already people in this Tai'an town who are getting up one after another, and when it comes to the hour, the sky is bright, and this Tai'an town is already lively.
Lin Dong mingled in the flow of people, listening to the conversations of the people here, and walking aimlessly with the flow of people.
Along the way, Lin Dong has always been in a state of thinking, combining the [Qimen Dunjia Four Thousand and Ninety-six Bureaus] he obtained, and the modern [Qimen Dunjia Eighteen Bureaus] with each other, confirming, and then combining what he has seen and heard in this world, the stars are moving, and the laws of all things are being mastered little by little.
There is no doubt that in Lin Dong's view, the eighteenth game of Qimen Dunjia in modern society is not a combination of the essence of Qimen Dunjia in the past, but more like a product of continuous loss, loss of shape, and loss of god.
Practicing Qimen Dunjia, Lin Dong can master the laws of heaven and earth, the numerology of all things, understand the operation of celestial bodies, know the magnetic movement of the yuan, can call the wind and rain, dry wells and springs, and then develop to the extreme, and have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and shoulder the mountains and take the moon.
Mixed in the crowd, Lin unconsciously walked in front of a scholar.
This scholar jade face scarf, also regarded as a beautiful man, piled up in front of him a pile of sage scrolls, holding a folding fan, although it was on the street, but also kept looking at the scroll, as if he wanted to write down the contents of the scroll.
In front of him, it was written that books were sold for money, and that of the princes' scriptures.
"This scholar."
Lin Dong knocked on the bamboo cane, stood here, and said: "This autumn test is about to start, you don't take these books to study hard, but take them to the street to sell, what is the reason?" ”
There are imperial examinations in the world of Zhuxian, for example, Qingye, the most proud ancestor of Qingyunmen, is a down-and-out scholar who has repeatedly failed in the imperial examination.
"Alas......"
The scholar sighed, obviously indescribable, but seeing that everyone on the left and right is busy now, he didn't take care of it here, so he said to Lin Dong: "Filial piety comes first, now my mother is sick, paralyzed in bed, no one to support, I need to scrape together enough ten taels of silver, go to the Tai'an Temple to buy a [merit coupon], with this merit, eliminate evil, so that my mother can eliminate the disease, I have to do it." ”
"Sick?"
Lin Dong immediately said: "If you are sick, you should naturally send your mother to the medical hall, how to buy a merit coupon...... It's also that I'm lonely and unheard, and I don't know what this merit coupon is? ”
Although he can see the future, after all, he still has to understand the process and truth in detail in person, so that Lin Dong can make a better judgment.
"This miracle doctor is hard to find, where will there be a miracle monk to come."
The scholar said: "My mother's condition, even if it is a doctor, can not diagnose what the disease is, but the Dharma Ci master of Tai'an Temple said that as long as there is a merit coupon, it will be able to ensure that it is safe...... Pity my old father who left early, otherwise, I would have lit a Buddha lamp for him in the Tai'an Temple, and I would have added ten years of life out of thin air......"
"But even so, I still want to light a lamp for my father, so that he can suffer less sins in the underworld and be happy and peaceful as soon as possible......
Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
In the conversation with this scholar, Lin Dong learned about the current propaganda strategy of Tai'an Temple.
The main thing sold is a merit coupon of ten taels of silver, with which you can eliminate past sins and avoid being compromised by your longevity.
Then there is the Buddha lamp, light a Buddha lamp, every month to this Buddhist temple to take out twenty taels of silver lamp money, Buddha lamp worship, can prolong the life of the yang, eliminate sins......
In addition to this merit coupon, Buddha lamp, there is also incense, and the bell is struck......
It can almost be said that it is a one-stop service, no matter whether your family is dead or alive, long or young, there is always a suitable project for you in this temple, such measures, Rao is Lin Dong consciously "exploited" a piece, but also called himself "flower vine", and it is inevitable that he is ashamed.
Even in modern times, there are still people who spend money in hospitals, doctors rescue, and finally quack doctors kill people, if you spend money in temples, then it should be like this.
"In that case, I'll give you ten taels of silver."
Lin Dong took out the money from his bosom and said, "You carry this scroll to the inn with me, you buy your indulgence, and I will read my sage book." ”
Looking at the books on this table, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Zhuzi Jingyi, all of which can be used in the imperial examination, Lin Dong naturally can't use them, but he can also kindly do a favor.
"Sir, that's not a coupon, it's a merit coupon."
The scholar was very happy, and packed the books on the table for Lin Dong.
"I think it's more like a bribe coupon."
Lin Dong said lightly: "The Buddha and Bodhisattva took your money and issued you a receipt, because this money can bless your mother with safety......"
"Sir, you are slandering the Buddha!"
The scholar solemnly warned Lin Dong and said, "This is going to hell!" ”
"Huh."
Lin Dong smiled indifferently and said, "Tonight, we'll see you in Tai'an Temple!" ”
