Chapter 70: Ghosts and Immortals
Hearing that she could go along, Fang Xiaoqing was very excited, and she drove a lot easier.
The three of them first went back to the Maoshan Medical Taoist Hall to take a look, Hao Jiyou hung the rest sign on the door, and this time drove to the Dawang Temple in Kejiawan.
There is Hao Jiyou's phone number on the rest card, and if there is business coming to the door, he will call Hao Jiyou to make an appointment.
Kejiawan is located in the northeastern suburbs of Shancheng, only a dozen miles away from Shancheng University, and it is only a dozen miles away.
The village is huge, with hundreds of households, and many small factories and handicraft workshops open here, so it looks lively and more like an urban village.
Dawang Temple is on the hillside in front of the village, with a total of four small tile houses, paved with red glazed tiles, which can be seen from afar.
However, there is no avenue around the temple, so it is impossible to drive there, so you must abandon the car and walk from the front of the village.
The three abandoned the car and walked to the Dawang Temple.
Hao Jiyou was poor again, and said: "In this Dawang Temple, I don't know if the Golden Horn King or the Silver Horn King is enshrined?" These two monsters, weren't they accepted by Sun Wukong back then, why did they come here to open a temple again? ”
Zhuge Lei shook his head and said:
"You know nonsense, what's the matter with the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn? The regular Dawang Temple, in general, is dedicated to the Taoist Wang Lingguan. However, the Dawang Temple here is probably not a regular Wang Lingguan Temple. Because it's too shabby, there are just a few broken houses. ”
Hao Jiyou grinned and hurriedly asked: "Brother Lei still knows a lot, but who is this Wang Lingguan?" Please also ask Brother Lei for advice. ”
Fang Xiaoqing also said: "Yes, cousin, tell us about Wang Lingguan." ”
Zhuge Lei nodded and said:
"Wang Lingguan is the Taoist protector of the mountain god general, the commander of the five hundred spirit officials in Wudang Mountain, called Marshal Huaguang, also known as the five spirit officials. His place in Taoist mythology is similar to that of the Buddhist Wei Tuo.
There are many big Taoist temples, and the spiritual official who guards the mountain gate of the Taoist temple is generally this Wang spiritual official.
Just now, Hao Jiyou talked about the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King in Journey to the West, in fact, Wang Lingguan also appeared in Journey to the West. When Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Wang Lingguan once led the thirty-six Thunder Realm Righteous Gods to fight dozens of battles with Sun Wukong, without winning or losing. ”
Fang Xiaoqing nodded again and again: "It turns out that it is such a character, amazing!" ”
Hao Jiyou pouted and said: "I don't think he is good at all, and it's not that he didn't win or lose with Sun Wukong, but he was beaten by Sun Monkey." Otherwise, the Jade Emperor would not have invited Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddha Rulai. ”
Zhuge Lei glared at Hao Jiyou and scolded: "The meets the top egg, you guy is a barb!" ”
While speaking, the three of them had already arrived in front of the Dawang Temple.
Burning incense and praying to God should be done as soon as possible.
At this time, the Dawang Temple has been open for a long time, and many pilgrims have been sent away, but there are still dozens of pilgrims waiting in line in front of the door to offer incense.
When Zhuge Lei and the others came to the temple, there was immediately an old man who came to receive him with a satchel on his back, and asked enthusiastically:
"How many of you are here to offer incense? First time? Heck, you've come to the right place! Our Dawang Temple here is the most vigorous incense, seeking children and wealth, seeking marriage and peace, driving away evil spirits and curing diseases, asking divination and hexagrams, choosing auspicious and avoiding evil and choosing a day, here are the most effective! ”
Zhuge Lei was happy in his heart, this mouth is Hao Jiyou's senior brother, right?
Hao Jiyou also grinned, pointed at Zhuge Lei and Fang Xiaoqing, and said:
"This is my eldest brother and sister-in-law, they are here to ask for a son, and they want to ask for a pair of dragon and phoenix twins! They have been married for three years, working overtime day and night, but they can't have children. I had no choice but to come to Dawang Temple to ask for a son. I am a poor man, and I have come to seek riches. ”
After a while, Fang Xiaoqing's face blushed to her neck, and she glared at Hao Jiyou, there was indeed some inexplicable sweetness in her heart.
Zhuge Lei was also furious, and wanted to clean up Hao Jiyou, but in this public, it was not very convenient, so he had to hold back.
"Asking for a son and asking for money, no problem!" The old man took out a small notebook from his backpack, wrote three trumpets with brushes, tore them to Hao Jiyou, and said:
"There are too many pilgrims, you have to queue up, take a number first. Ten dollars for a trumpet, shouting to you, you will go in! ”
Hao Jiyou took the trumpet, paid the money, and said:
"The incense in Dawangmiao is so good, you have to get an automatic number machine, just like a bank. Why don't I get you in touch? A friend of mine is the one who installs a sales automatic number machine, and I can give you a discount......"
"No, no, no, I can't figure out those high-tech." The old man shook his head and smiled, turned around and beckoned the other pilgrims to go.
Hao Jiyou muttered again: "Paralyzed, it's still feudal superstition to make money, a hundred pilgrims a day, and the head fee is 1,000 yuan!" day, tomorrow the Maoshan Medical Taoist Hall will be changed to the Maoshan Temple......"
Zhuge Lei took Fang Xiaoqing and walked to the temple gate and looked inside.
I saw that the temple was receiving pilgrims, the cigarette smoke was filled, choking on the nose, a thin and tall old woman, who was the temple boy of the Dawang Temple, was guiding the pilgrims to incense, pointing to the incense head to analyze the bad luck.
The shrine is placed against the west wall, and the statue of Kannon is enshrined on it.
The walls of the temple are full of messy pennants, all of which are sycophantic words such as 'rejuvenation of wonderful hands', 'responding to requests', 'sending children to Niangniang', and 'Buddhism is boundless'.
Zhuge Lei's eyes swept around, but he didn't see the old man from the countryside who went to the gym yesterday.
Looking at the sky above the statue again, there was a faint trace of black gas swirling in the rising smoke.
Ghosts?
Zhuge Lei nodded slightly.
From the perspective of Taoism, the Guanyin priest enshrined here is just a disguise, and the main owner of the temple is a ghost immortal.
Since there are ghosts and immortals sitting in the hall, the small temple has some benefits, which is naturally conceivable.
Hao Jiyou also came over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lei, was that old guy in there yesterday?" If he's here, I'll beat him all over the ground right away! ”
"That old guy isn't here, so he must not be here." Zhuge Lei smiled, and suddenly whispered again: "Come in with me, I'll pretend to force you to see!" ”
"Huh? Brother Lei wants to pretend to be forced? yes, yes, I was caught off guard! Hao Jiyou was overjoyed, scratching his ears and cheeks with excitement.
Zhuge Lei nodded, took Fang Xiaoqing and Hao Jiyou, walked into the small temple in a big way, and said loudly: "Let me go, I'll cut in line!" ”
After a while, the small temple fell silent.
The temple boy and more than a dozen pilgrims all turned their faces to look at Zhuge Lei, feeling that this guy was too frivolous and reckless.
Zhuge Lei grinned, walked over to the idol, and looked at the idol as if no one was around.
The temple boy stepped forward, pulled Zhuge Lei, glared and said: "Who are you young man, shouting here, rushing against the gods, you are not afraid that the gods will condemn you!?" ”
(February 24, first shift.) There will be an update in the afternoon. )
