Chapter Ninety-Two: The Tower of Wishes

The two of them wanted to throw away the candy man and felt that they were wasting money and had no choice but to take it, but they thought of what Xiang Tianqi said anyway, no one knew him, what was wrong with eating a candy man, so he slowly retreated from the sense of shame in his heart.

The nine of them walked forward slowly, but fortunately, the weather is not very hot now, otherwise they would have to sweat after a while.

There is still a distance from Nanmu Temple, but there are more small vendors on the roadside than before, and there are countless rouges for women, all kinds of jewelry, all kinds of incense, appetizing snacks, and all kinds of children's toys.

There are some people around in front of each stall, dragging the boss to ask questions, although the boss is busy with the first two big and even sweaty, but his face is full of smiles.

After all, this kind of event is only once a year, and the money they earn on this day can make the family use it for more than half a year.

So no matter how busy and tired I am, I am still happy, and I can't wait to have two more hands.

As he got closer and closer to Nanwu Temple, suddenly there was a sound of blowing and blowing in front of the left, and at first Xiang Tianqi thought that he had heard it wrong.

The crowd gradually walked towards the place where the sound came from, and they couldn't reach the crowd and couldn't get out, so they had to follow everyone.

As I walked in, the sound became clearer and clearer, and when I got closer, I found that someone was performing juggling, and someone was playing gongs and drums next to me.

Jugglers range from adults to children as young as 10 years old.

In the spontaneous encirclement formed by the crowd, four children are stacking arhats, and when they are stable, someone below throws the bowl prepared in their hands towards the top child, and the child reaches out to catch it and puts it on his feet, and then jumps back and forth to change the bowl.

Or put the bowl aside, supported by the child below, and the child above doing somersaults back and forth.

There were bursts of gasping sound from the people below this scene, and some of them were afraid to see the bloody scene of the child falling, covering their eyes and not daring to look at it, but they couldn't help but be attracted by juggling and showed their fingers to look at it secretly.

Sometimes holding his breath and staring wide, sometimes he breathes a sigh of relief.

In the other corner, several adults are performing a sparring fight, and the two of them punch fiercely, and the robes are flying and making waves in the fierce fight.

It seems to have some foundation, but it's just a performance, and if you really fight with a master, I'm afraid you will be defeated in a few moves.

But this does not prevent people from watching lively.

There are also bursts of shouts, whistles, and some take out a few copper plates from their arms to reward them to make them work harder to perform.

Turning his head, on the other side was several adults stepping on stilts, more than a meter on stilts, stepping on their feet. The long trouser legs hang down, and it looks like the real legs are so long and the people are so tall.

Some children saw this unusual scene for them, and they were so frightened that they hid in the arms of the adults behind them.

Others were already scared and crying, and kept shouting that the monster should go away, don't eat him, and called for Daddy and Mom.

It caused the surrounding adults to burst into laughter.

The child doesn't know what he has done, obviously this person, no, it should be said that the monster looks so terrifying, so much taller than them, it is likely to be the monster that eats children in the mouth of adults, why are they not afraid of him.

Why were they all happy and laughed when they saw him crying?

The child's big round eyes were wet after crying, as translucent as the pearls full of color, and there were undripped tears on the eyelashes, which looked even more soft and cute.

In addition to He Qiang and Sheng, and the three shopkeepers, Xiang Tianqi and them are all seeing this kind of wonderful performance for the first time.

In the middle of the city, surrounded by people like them, cheering and shouting, and from time to time, people you don't know bow their heads and say "look good" and "Hey, that person is really good." "Really? I think too. ”

Then they looked at each other and smiled, happy to find someone who felt the same way as themselves.

Although it is crowded and noisy, people don't like the environment, but they are reluctant to leave, which is a unique experience.

So a few people watched it for a while, and then rewarded some and left, heading to the destination this time, Nanwu Temple.

Laboriously walked out of the crowd, squeezed left and right, and finally walked to the main road to Nanwu Temple.

After squeezing out, the clothes on their bodies were a little messy, and they had to be briefly sorted out first.

Because some people are watching the juggling, at this moment, when I go to Nanwu Temple, I feel that there are a few fewer people than just now, although it is still crowded, but it is much better than just now.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the nine people walked to the gate of Nanwu Temple.

The quaint red temple gate, mottled in color and some falling blue-gray temple walls, all tell its long years.

"This Nan Mu Temple has a history of nearly 100 years, and although it is located in this remote town of peace, it has many disciples because of its incense and miracles.

Moreover, the current abbot and the abbot of the imperial capital Xiangguo Temple are brothers, so the reputation of Nanwu Temple is even louder.

Especially the annual temple fair, not only the people in the vicinity but also the famous pilgrims from all over the world. Some people even rushed over, just to put incense on the pillar, draw lots, and dip in the Buddha spirit of this temple. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang knows more about these than they do, so he introduces them all the way.

A few people only thought that this Nanwu temple would be full of people, and it was very lively, but they didn't know that there were these reasons.

It turns out that it is not only the villages near them, but also the belief of everyone, so it seems that they have to worship well.

Except for Xiang Tianqi, this thought flashed in the hearts of several people.

Especially with Qiang and Hesheng, they have also participated in this temple fair before, and they only know that it is very lively, but they didn't expect that there is such a relationship.

The shopkeeper led them into the temple, and the first thing that caught their eye was a five-meter-high copper pagoda surrounded by a fence.

I saw a large number of people gathered around and threw copper coins on them.

A few people didn't understand, so they looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper also opened his mouth to answer their doubts in a timely manner.

The name of this pagoda is the Wish Tower, and it is said that if you throw a copper coin into the tower through the top copper hole, you will have your wish come true, and it will be safe and smooth.

The tower body is carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, from the dragon head to the tail of the dragon, to ensure that you are safe and secure for a year"

After listening to the shopkeeper, a few people looked at the crowd in front of them, and sure enough, they saw someone touching something on the tower, and others were constantly throwing copper coins into the tower.

It's just that because the copper hole is too small, only the size of a child's fist, and the tower is high, it is difficult to throw it in, let alone succeed in one shot.

Most of them hit the tower and then bounce back and fall to the ground.

It is said that in the 100 years since the temple was founded, only a few people have succeeded in throwing it for the first time, and all of them have become famous.

Although it is difficult, the more this happens, the more everyone affirms the authenticity of this statement, and coupled with those few famous figures, the more everyone pursues this wish tower.

The more difficult it is, the more they feel that this is a test for them, and it is also the Wish Tower that is choosing, to see who of them is more sincere and who they want to make their wishes come true.

They don't expect to be like those big guys, but they will be satisfied if they can live a safe life and make a little money.

So all the people who come here are tirelessly picking up copper coins and throwing copper coins.

Occasionally, the person who has been thrown into it several times will be full of excitement on his face and shout loudly about the stirring mood in his heart, thinking that it must be his sincerity that has touched the gods and Buddhas, so his copper coin will be accepted by the Wish Tower.

And those who have repeatedly failed see that someone has succeeded, and they will throw it harder, since someone can throw it in, then they must be able to do it, and they have repeatedly failed with this idea.

Of course, there are those who give up after throwing a few times, but most of them are persistent.

"Xiao Qi, do you want to try it?"

He Qiang looked at the person struggling to throw copper coins in front of him and looked at Xiang Tianqi.

"Don't throw it away, this is a kind of nihilistic belief in itself, whether it is smooth and safe, whether it is safe and healthy, this is not something that those gods and Buddhas can decide, but it depends on themselves. If you don't work hard, you can't achieve great things anyway by relying on unwarranted protection. ”

Xiang Tianqi shook her head, she never believed in these ghosts and gods, only said, although she has now experienced this very mysterious time-travel, she still doesn't believe it.

However, he did not show any disdain, but maintained a kind of awe in his heart.

Shopkeeper Zhang glanced at Xiang Tianqi when he heard this, but he didn't expect to hear such remarks from a woman's mouth.

Not only Daliang, but also these ghosts and monsters are said everywhere in this continent, so many believers and temples of gods and Buddhas were born, especially in the Western Regions.

But now I hear this abnormal view in this woman from the Western Regions.

I used to think that she was different from ordinary people, but now I have made Shopkeeper Zhang pay attention to her.

Xiang Tianqi didn't believe this, but Cui Ying and the others here were really convinced.

So the helpless Xiang Tianqi was dragged over and thrown away with them.

After taking the copper plate handed over by Cuiying, Xiang Tianqi had to play with them.

Yes, in Xiang Tianqi's mind, this is the same game as robbery, rings, and puzzles in modern amusement parks.

I took the copper plate, tossed it in my hand and threw it out without looking.

"Alas. Why don't you choose a place and throw it away? ”

Seeing this scene, Cui Ying jumped to her feet in a hurry.

"If there is anything to choose, you can enter if you can, and if you can't get in, you will throw it away. Besides, if you choose a good location, is it really a good location? Will you be able to enter? ”

Xiang Tianqi waved his hand at Cui Ying disappreciably.

Cui Ying, who was about to say something, suddenly opened her mouth and widened her eyes, and then looked at Xiang Tianqi.

Xiang Tianqi, who threw it and walked to the side to look around and waited for them to finish throwing, suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet, and when he looked back, he found that everyone who was throwing the copper plate just now stopped, and then looked at her with big eyes, looking incredulous.

Xiang Tianqi looked at himself strangely, there was nothing wrong, his clothes were neat and his hairstyle was not messy.

"What's wrong?"

Xiang Tianqi looked at the Hutchison who were also shocked and asked.

"You didn't see the copper plate you just thrown?"

Cui Ying swallowed the saliva in her mouth with great effort, patted her chest, took a deep breath, and then said something that made Xiang Tianqi frown.

She just threw it away, and then left, and she didn't believe in it, and she definitely wouldn't be looking at it like them.

Cui Ying saw that she really didn't pay attention to the copper plate she threw out, and she hated that iron was not steel.

"Do you know that the copper plate you just threw is in!"

After speaking, she was smooth, as if the sentence just now made her use up all her strength, and the last three words accentuated the unprecedented tone.
