"Then let's make our own vows, and see whose wishes God answers."

I threw a copper coin into the offering box, and before I could kneel on the futon, Han threw all the handfuls of silver into the box and knelt beside me first.

"Hey!"

Why did you get ahead of me, it was obviously the copper coin I threw first!

He ignored my push and shoved, and quickly kowtowed to Xuanye: "I'm fine!" ”

"Ahh I reached out and punched him, "Are you blaspheming?" ”

"No, the gods have always been in my heart." He pressed my head and said, "Kowtow quickly, and go to the priest after worshipping the idol." ”

"If the gods really have spirits, they will definitely send an avatar to beat you up!" I pushed his hand away and bowed to the idol.

The temple was where the priests lived, and there were some rooms for pilgrims. It's just that the teachings of Zeshui Temple advocate simple and simple food, and both the decoration and the house are smaller than the last time I saw in Moyun Temple.

We crossed the stone bridge and came to the entrance room, where we saw an apprentice priest sweeping the floor.

"How do you speak? Do you want to see the High Priest? I muttered.

There was only one high priest per temple. The high priest would hold evangelistic meetings, preside over sacrifices, carry out rituals, and some would walk the rivers and lakes to help the poor. They generally don't turn pilgrims away for the sake of preaching, but they do have a busy schedule.

"I'll ask first, I don't know." Han stepped forward to greet the sweeping theologian.

The original meaning of the word greeting is to ask for warmth, chat about gas, talk about clothes, and talk about the current situation. I was embarrassed to hear these questions, and finally I couldn't help but interrupt these and didn't, and asked directly: "May I ask the little brother, where is the priest of Zeshui Temple?" We want to know more about God. ”

Apprentice: "They're in Moyun Temple." ”

Me: "Why did the priests of Zeshui Temple go to Moyun Temple?" ”

The apprentice said: "Since the construction of the Moyun Temple, the priests of the two sides have often played against each other, using black and white chess pieces to win or lose. Those who lose should open an hour late, so that the pilgrims who came early will go to another one. ”

There is such a thing......

originally thought that these two families were in trouble, but after learning the inside story, they felt that their competition was very elegant.

is worthy of a priest, no matter how fierce the competition is, it is just a gift of porridge and a game of chess.

"Then let's go to Moyun Temple and have a look."

Since the two priests are in the Moyun Temple, we can just go to catch them all.

went out and came directly to the Moyun Temple opposite, or according to the steps just now, first went to the temple to worship a god, donated some incense money, and then went around to the backyard.

There were no pilgrims in the front hall, and the courtyard was deserted, but there were many people surrounding the open space outside the wings. The priests' apprentices set up the game and landed on it according to the steps of the high priest, while the pilgrims discussed the meaning of each move and judged where they would fall.

The high priest of Moyun Temple holds a black seed, and the high priest of Zeshui Temple holds a white seed. The chess game is black and white, between vertical and horizontal, the lower half of the chessboard has been laid out, but it is still difficult to distinguish between them.

The Mother Queen's chess game is very good, and I am only slightly familiar and not very interested. I was about to sneak into the chamber with Han and observe the high priest closely, but I saw him watching the chess game with relish.

I asked, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Han nodded: "I have learned, but I am not good at learning." ”

I was impressed with him: "You even learned to play chess?" ”

Han: "That's your mother's hobby, of course we have to learn it." ”

I couldn't help but sympathize with him: "It's really hard for you...... In order to rebel, he actually learned all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was about to catch up with the royal people. ”

Han agreed.
