Chapter Seventy-Three: Temple Blessings

Lin Shanghan's hometown town, although the economic development is not very good, but the historical and cultural heritage is extremely strong, the small city is scattered with a lot of very old buildings, some even because of disrepair have become ruins, only mottled wood or stone still show the age of the building.

For these old buildings, in the past, the government almost ignored, thinking about how to quickly get the economy of the small city up, at that time it happened to meet the period of development of northern Jiangsu, the whole northern Jiangsu in order to catch up with the southern Jiangsu people and strive to develop the economy, so many old buildings are planned by the government to developers to develop real estate or build one after another new industrial parks, those old buildings are also in the bulldozer under the strong thrust, completely buried in the ground, dust into eternal memory, It can only exist in the memory of the older generation.

On the land where they fell, new high-rise buildings were quickly erected, and the county leaders who changed one by one rushed to blindly remove those old buildings for the sake of appreciation, and some buildings with real cultural heritage fell down like most buildings because they failed to get the attention of the cultural relics protection department, and finally the old buildings in the small town were almost gone.

People like new things, local young people and outsiders look at the new city and their hearts are happy, only the old people are still lamenting the sadness of the old buildings, but no one will listen to their laments.

However, in recent years, with the emerging development of tourism, all parts of the country are sharpening their heads to find out whether there are some old things or cultural relics in their locality, and whether there is any cultural heritage, so as to open up tourism projects to earn tourism income and improve the popularity of their cities.

Lin Shanghan's hometown is no exception, many of the old buildings that were demolished back then have now been re-excavated by the government, and began to "reproduce", using old modern buildings to restore those old buildings, and adding some historical culture that I don't know whether it is true or false, and then integrated into a tourist attraction, but these attractions are not charged, and some attractions that are really not good at making up stories are slowly cool, and only a few key places will occasionally be patronized.

In recent days, the government has built a temple for a long time just yesterday began to open to the public, the historical and cultural arrangement is a Taoist priest, nothing more than a place to sell incense and sell blessings, but in a small city such a lack of entertainment facilities in a place is still a new place for everyone, these two days have been quite a lot of people.

Lin Shanghan himself is not interested in this kind of place at all, he would rather go to an Internet café than go to that kind of place to play, if no one goes with him, Lin Shanghan may not go to that place until he leaves the town, Lin Shanghan always thinks that kind of place is full of a kind of "artificial superstition", there is always a group of people who can only take pictures and take pictures there who don't know anything.

But Li Yixuan was very interested in these fun places, and after returning home separately from Lin Shanghan, she probably wanted to stay with Lin Shanghan, so she sent a message asking Lin Shanghan if he would go there.

Lin Shanghan really doesn't want to go, and he will go to school tomorrow afternoon, and if he goes there with Li Yixuan again, it means that he won't be able to sleep.

"Forget it, you and Xu Xinyue will go."

"Ah, but Xu Xinyue has something to do tomorrow, so you can accompany me."

"What's so fun in that kind of place, isn't it fragrant to sleep in?"

"But I want to go."

Lin Shanghan looked at Li Yixuan's "But I want to go", and didn't know what to do for a while.

Perhaps, falling in love with a simple girl like Li Yixuan is such a helpless thing.

Lin Shanghan thought about it and agreed to Li Yixuan. Li Yixuan on the other side got Lin Shanghan's consent, and she was as happy as a child.

The next day, Lin Shanghan and Li Yixuan made an appointment to meet at the gate of the temple at half past nine in the morning, and the place where the temple was located was still in the suburbs, and there was still a long distance from their home.

Strange to say, every time I wake up the next day after the holiday, no matter whether I get up early or late, my head is always more groggy than when I went to school.

Lin Shanghan washed his face and sobered up, got dressed after breakfast, and said to his mother.

Mother Lin saw that Lin Shanghan rarely went out with his classmates so actively, and was a little suspicious, "What's the matter, talking about girlfriends, this is dressed up and going out to watch movies and go out to play." ”

When a mother always knows her son so well.

Of course, Lin Shanghan couldn't say Li Yixuan, "Don't think about it, just a few people will go to the newly built place to have a look." ”

Mother Lin didn't ask any more, and told Lin Shanghan to come back for dinner early.

Lin Shanghan stuffed his headphones and listened to the song and rode towards the temple, and the whole town was a kind of peace and tranquility during the holiday.

When he arrived at the gate of the temple, Li Yixuan hadn't come yet, Lin Shanghan parked the car first and waited for a while before Li Yixuan came over. Li Yixuan is still dressed the same as yesterday, but there is a faint fragrance on her head, and it seems that she has specially washed her hair.

It is said that the key to seeing a girl want to see you or not is whether she washes her hair when she sees you, from this point of view, it is indeed true that Li Yixuan likes Lin Shanghan.

Li Yixuan still held Lin Shanghan's arm as she did yesterday and walked around the temple together.

There are not many people who come to this place in the morning, but it is quite quiet, and occasionally a few "actors" wearing Taoist clothes will walk between the temples.

Li Yixuan took photos excitedly, and Lin Shanghan helped Li Yixuan find a beautiful background to take photos from time to time. In terms of taking pictures, Lin Shanghan has long been trained by Li Linxi to become a photographer, and Li Yixuan is very satisfied with every photo he takes for Li Yixuan.

Going around to the back of the temple, there is a huge statue of a Taoist priest here, so big that Lin Shanghan is not as tall as the statue's toes, it is hard to imagine that there is such an iconic statue in the small city, and this statue is facing the lake behind, no wonder Lin Shanghan didn't notice such a big statue when he came.

On the tree next to the statue, there are all kinds of red ribbons hanging with blessings, fluttering slightly in the wind, which is very beautiful.

Li Yixuan was very interested in this kind of thing, and said to Lin Shanghan: "Let's go hang one too." ”

Lin Shanghan didn't hesitate this time, turned around and went to the store next to him with Li Yixuan to pick up two red ribbons, such a thing actually cost twenty, it was really asking for the price with his eyes closed.

One is "a hundred years of good together, happy love", and the other is "academic success, gold list title", Lin Shanghan and Li Yixuan wrote their names on the two red ribbons, and then Lin Shanghan hung the two red ribbons to Li Yixuan's chosen position.

The red ribbon carried him and Li Yixuan's beautiful prayers, and as the breeze slowly swayed in the sun, they brought this blessing to the sky.

How Lin Shanghan hopes that the blessing can be truly realized.

Have you ever done this with someone you like?
