Xiangfo Temple is located in Liuzhou's largest Fanhuai Mountain, that is, near the Yunqi Academy, it is very famous in the south, in addition to the peach trees in this mountain, the monks' knowledge and medical skills in the temple are also good. They also traveled from place to place, and in addition to preaching the Dharma, they would also heal people and teach children from poor families to read and write.

Fanhuai Mountain is a famous mountain, the scenery is even more majestic and magnificent, the students of Yunqi Academy will go to the mountains in their spare time, but Shang Mingyang has never been to other places in the mountains except for the academy, because she is afraid that when she meets the monks of Xiangfo Temple, she will see that she has something strange. Ever since she came back to life, she's come to believe in Shinto things a little.

"Are you going?" Ji Yitai looked at them

Tomorrow is the Guanyin Festival, she mentioned it to her second sister last time, plus her mother is the most worshipful of the gods, so the family should come, Shang Mingyang nodded without hesitation and agreed happily; Seeing this, Wang Xian also hurriedly said that he was going, and in addition to the three of them, Zhang Xi also went together.

After returning home from school that day, Shang Mingyang first went to the library to get new books, and after returning to the house, his desk became a little different.

On the table is a pitted bamboo tube with colorful wildflowers on it, who put it? It's impossible for Erxi to get these things without her permission, Shang Mingchang, who lives on the other side? More unlikely! Shang Mingyang immediately denied this idea, it should be a woman who made these flowers! Wang Xian? Otherwise, changing a big man will make her feel very awkward...

Wang Xian is a more daring girl, although she admires Wang Xian a little, but it is impossible for her to be with Wang Xian... This flower looked like it was supposed to be a wild flower, and it shouldn't be a good thing to stay here, so she just pretended not to know who gave it to her.

On the day of the Guanyin Festival, the wind and the sun are beautiful, Shang Mingyang and his party of four people walked together, Yunqi Academy was not expanded before it was the library of the Xiangfo Temple, so the academy is not far from the Xiangfo Temple, and it will take half an hour at most to walk.

After arriving at the Buddha Temple, there are more than 200 steps to climb, not only them on the road, there are many people who are climbing, listen to their accents to know that they are all people nearby, there are old and young, there are rich and poor, some people look happy and some people have sorrow on their faces, and the various states of life are shown one by one in this step of steps.

That's a lot of people! It's not a loss for the Guanyin Festival.

"Mingyang, can you still hold on?" Seeing Shang Mingyang wiping his sweat, Ji Yitai asked on the side.

Shang Mingyang nodded, she could hold on, and the exercise for half a year was not in vain

"It doesn't matter to me, just look at Wang Xian."

The two looked over and found that Wang Xian's body was sweating a lot more than Shang Mingyang's, his face was a little pale, and he was now wiping his sweat frequently.

"It's all said, Wang Xian, you should move more, otherwise your body and bones will not be able to stand it, now you know that it is amazing, right?" Ji Yitai, who was walking in front, turned his head and gloated a little, Wang Xian used to ridicule him for being a strong man and a reckless man, just because of his sturdy body.

Wang Xian glanced at him and ignored it

On the way, there were frequent women who quietly looked at Shang Mingyang and his party, and immediately lowered their heads shyly

Zhang Xi looked at this scene and quipped: "Brother Shang, these little ladies are secretly looking at you."

Shang Mingyang smiled slightly: "Brother Zhang is too modest, I think there are many little ladies who are secretly looking at you"

Zhang Xi opened the folding fan when he heard this, and laughed

Halfway through the climb, everyone's pace slowed down, so that Wang Xian could also relax

"Mingyang, what are you looking for?" Seeing that Shang Mingyang occasionally turned his head to look around, Wang Xian hurriedly asked.

The call seemed to be a little kind, Shang Mingyang frowned slightly and explained, "My mother, they should also come here today, I want to see if I can meet them." ”

"There are too many people, people from all over the country are coming, and it is difficult for you to find people." Wang Xian said very honestly

While talking, while walking slowly, I finally climbed to the Buddha Temple, only to find that there are many people on it, but because of the guidance of the monks, everything seems lively and orderly, and there are regulations in and out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went to pay homage to the various bodhisattvas with the flow of people.

Shang Mingyang and others are scholars, and some scholars will pay attention to the strange power of the gods or worship ghosts and gods and stay away, and generally will not participate in superstitious activities such as burning incense and worshiping Buddha, so although the academy is close, they have not yet met familiar classmates; Of course, some don't pay attention to these, and before every big exam, there will be many candidates who worship Emperor Wenchang, Kuixing and Wenqu Xing reverently before the exam.

It's not time for the exam yet, so they're just moving around with the flow of people.

Looking at everyone's pious appearance, Shang Mingyang couldn't care about disliking the strong sandalwood fragrance in the hall, she only hoped that there were really gods now, and she would bless her family with peace and security, no illness and no disaster.

When he finally donated merit, Shang Mingyang took off the purse around his waist and put it directly into the merit box.

Okay, he was a little embarrassed, after all, the money he donated should be the least, the one hundred and fifty taels of broken silver tickets that his father gave him before she went home last time she gave them all to her mother, the family is different from the past, plus she thought that it would cost a lot of money to come to the academy before, so she kept it, and now she has also set this spare money in the academy for her to keep It is better to let her mother buy a little property, so she now only has one or two taels of silver given by the public middle school every month, and only one or two are in the purse for donating merit this time, although she has also saved a few taels of silver in the past two days, But it's still a bit reluctant to donate it all.

Wang Xian invested twenty taels of silver, as soon as the silver was taken out, it made the people around him look sideways frequently, even Zhang Xi and Ji Yitai were a little surprised, after all, the two of them had a good family background, and they only invested five taels of silver, Shang Mingyang did not squint, she had heard in Kyoto before, the imperial merchant Wang family had only one daughter for many years, and she was very fond of it, and now she thinks about it to be able to agree to let her daughter dress up as a man, surnamed Wang, and have strong financial resources, except for the Wang family, you really can't find a second.

After paying homage to the Bodhisattva and paying the vows, half of today's purpose has been achieved. The fasting rice of Xiangfo Temple is famous far and wide, although there are more people today, but there are a few people who go to eat, after all, most of the people who come to worship are ordinary people, and they are reluctant to spend a more expensive price to eat fasting.

A few people came to the canteen of Xiangfo Temple, and sure enough, the canteen hall was in stark contrast to the crowded scene outside, which could almost fill the canteen of hundreds of people, and even half of the people were not filled, and a few people found a table against the wall, but after a while, a small novice came over, Ji Yitai preemptively paid four meals, and after half a tael of silver was given to the little novice, he said to everyone: "This meal is mine, there is no reason for me to call you out and let you pay for it"

"Okay, okay, yours!" Zhang Xi reluctantly withdrew the money

Shang Mingyang said very directly, "Then you're welcome"

Wang Xian also whispered thank you.

Everyone is not a poor family, and if you are still competing for politeness for this bit of fasting money, it seems strange to be a little child.
