What is robbery? That's robbery!

Three sticks of incense for at most one dollar, he multiplied it and sold it to us two hundred times, and it was two hundred per person, so the four of us were eight hundred yuan, and eight hundred yuan was at least a month's living expenses for us student parties.

We looked at the yellow-clothed monk in front of us as if we were stunned.

"Master, did you just say two hundred yuan per person?" I asked without giving up.

"Yes, donor."

I was a little angry and said, "Master, are you sure that this is a temple, not a den of bandits?" ”

The monk smiled unhurriedly and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha is destined to be a person, if the donor is unwilling, we will not force it, so please go back." ”

After speaking, the monk prepared to leave.

"Eh, wait a minute."

Stopping the monks, I asked Huang Siyu for their opinions.

After discussing it for a while, they finally decided in their unwilling expressions, after all, they had all worked hard to get here.

gritted his teeth and handed over the money ruthlessly, and after getting the money, he felt that the smile on the monk's face suddenly increased a little.

I suddenly understood why this temple was built so high and didn't have a cable car or a car track.

It's silly to come here and just go home, and probably many tourists are in the same mood as we are now.

"Donors, please come with me."

Put the money away, and the yellow-clothed monk will show us the way in front.

Along the way, he also introduced himself, and the monk's Dharma name is Zhiren.

The monk took us to a side hall, where there is a Buddha statue, in front of which there are tributes and a large furnace, the furnace has been filled with dense incense, most of it has been burned out, only a small part is still burning, it should have just been plugged in not long ago. There are ten cushions in front of the Buddha statue, and there are already people sitting on five cushions, and they are sitting on them with their hands folded, their eyes closed and they don't say a word.

"These are pilgrims who put incense on them." Monk Zhiren said, pointing to those who were sitting.

Seeing them all sitting there motionless, I wondered, "What are they doing?" ”

Monk Zhiren explained: "After the incense is applied, one should sit quietly on the futon for ten minutes to show the sincerity in the heart and respect for the Buddha, so that the Buddha will help the people who offer the incense. ”

I nodded abruptly.

"What kind of incense do the donors want?" Monk Zhiren asked.

"Is there a difference between incense?" Huang Siyu said curiously.

Monk Zhiren nodded: "Yes, we have here the blessing incense for praying for peace, the pure spirit incense for calming the mind and calming the nerves, the fortune incense for transit, the incense for making wishes come true, etc., may I ask which incense do you want to use?" ”

Although I have never been to a temple before, I have never heard of such a variety of incense.

"I'm going to pray for passing the exam, what kind of incense do I use?" Liu Ting asked.

Monk Zhiren replied, "This should be done with incense." ”

Liu Ting nodded and said, "Then I'll choose this incense." ”

Monk Zhiren bowed slightly to Liu Ting with his palms together, then looked at us and said, "Have several donors made a good choice?" ”

The three of us looked at each other, and I hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Zhiren, is there any incense that can ward off evil spirits?" ”

"Exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil?"

Monk Zhiren listened to our question, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.

He shook his head and said, "This incense has not yet been opened in this temple, but... ”

Hearing him say no, my mentality collapsed slightly. I heard another "but".

I asked, "But what?" ”

Monk Zhiren looked at us carefully and said, "I see that the donor's face is haggard and his forehead is blue, but has he encountered anything unusual?" ”

I listened to this sentence and couldn't help but nod.

Monk Zhiren recited a Buddha name and said: "Don't hide it from your donors, my uncle often goes out to help people do things, and he knows these unusual things very well, maybe he can help you." ”

"Oh?" I became a little curious about his uncle.

"Then can you take us to meet your uncle?"

Monk Zhiren nodded, and then made a "five" gesture with his palm.

"Master, what is this?"

We looked at him in bewilderment.

Monk Zhiren smiled: "See Uncle Shi alone, add another fifty." ”

“。。。”

I was speechless for a while.

This is really more a bandit than a bandit, how can this good monk be money at every turn.

Wei Lin was angry on the side, and said unceremoniously: "Hey, monk, you are robbing, why do we have to pay again when we just paid the money." ”

I patted Welling and told him not to be impulsive.

"Master, can't we not charge for nothing, you see that we are all students, and we don't bring so much money."

I bargained with Monk Zhiren, and Monk Zhiren always maintained that faint smile and said, "Buddha is destined to be a person, if the donor is unwilling to pay this money, then it is better to offer incense." ”

Wei Lin, they are all persuading me to forget it, just leave after the incense here.

Although I also wanted to go back with incense, my intuition told me that I had to meet this master, although it was a little inexplicable, but I had such an intuition, and it was very strong.

After struggling for a while, I finally chose to trust my intuition.

So I said to them, "Why don't I go and see them alone, and you can put incense over here." ”

Wei Lin couldn't persuade me when he saw it, and he said helplessly: "Since you want to go, let's go together, it's only fifty yuan." ”

Huang Siyu saw that we were all going, and hurriedly said that he wanted to go with me, so the three of us paid another fifty yuan.

Hehe, it's really ironic that one person paid two hundred and five.

Liu Ting, we let her stay here, the purpose of her coming here was to make incense, so let her wait for us here after the incense.

After paying the money, Monk Zhiren first instructed other monks to come and take care of Liu Ting, and then led us out of the side hall and into the temple.

Walked out of the side hall and walked through a corridor, through a clearing, as if entering the inner courtyard of the temple, from time to time you can see some monks in monk's clothes practicing, work, see us ordinary people in civilian clothes, they will cast curious eyes.

Monk Zhiren led us to the door of a Buddhist hall that, although closed, could be heard from afar in the middle of the chanting and the sound of wooden fish beating.

"Uncle Shi's name is Guangde, and people outside call him Master Guangde." When we arrived at the door, Zhiren remembered to introduce us to us.

"Uncle Shi is inside, let's go in."

Monk Zhiren pushed open the door, and we saw the scene inside. A monk in a robe sat on a futon with his back to us, knocking on a wooden fish while reciting Buddhist scriptures, which we could not understand.

As if knowing that the door was pushed open, the sound of the monk's chanting stopped abruptly, and the wooden fish also stopped knocking.

Then the monk got up and turned to look at us, and then he saw his face clearly, with a white beard, deep wrinkles, and a few old age spots on his face, which at a glance looked at least sixty years old.

"It's Zhiren, don't you take care of the pilgrims in the front hall, why did you come to me." Master Guangde saw Monk Zhiren and spoke. The voice is very neutral, not at all hoarse like the old man, it seems that this master Guangde is very strong.

"Uncle Guangde." Monk Zhiren bowed to Master Guangde, and then said, "This time I brought three pilgrims here, and these three pilgrims seem to have encountered something unusual, so I brought them to Uncle Guangde, hoping to help them solve it." ”

Monk Zhiren introduced us, and Master Guangde then set his eyes on us and glanced at the three of us.

For some reason, I felt a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at me.

"Amitabha, since this is the case, then donors, please sit here."

Master Guangde pointed to the place to the right of the door, where there were four yellow futons just enough for the four of us to sit down.

Monk Zhiren left after dropping us off.

"Master Guangde."

Welin and I sat on the futon, and I politely called out.

Huang Siyu stood by my side because of the skirt.

"Amitabha, what happened to the benefactor, can you tell the old man about it?"

Master Guangde sat across from us, recited the Buddha's name, and asked us to say what we had encountered.

I didn't rush to say what happened, but first asked Master Guangde: "Master, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”

"Amitabha." Master Guangde first recited a Buddha name, and then said: "Whether there are ghosts in the world depends on people's hearts. ”

What Master Guangde said was a bit profound and difficult for me to understand.

"Does the master believe that there are ghosts in the world?"

Master Guangde didn't speak, just shook his head slightly.

"Does the master know about the Saucer Immortal?"

"Disc Immortal?" Master Guangde looked puzzled.

I just remembered that the game of Disc Immortal seems to have been invented or popularized on campus, and monks like these must not know about this thing.

So I told Master Guangde about the precautions for playing Disc Immortal.

The master nodded in realization.

"Master, in fact, our business started with playing Disc Immortal."

So I told Master Guangde about what we had done with Disc Fairy, what I saw, the nightmare I had at night, and Wang Kai's death, and the master had been listening to me without saying a word.
