Chapter 19: The Temple of the Jade Buddha
15:00 Shen Chu
After Zheng Zhiya and Zheng Qingfeng visited King Zheng Temple, the two went to the Jade Buddha Temple together in the afternoon. There is a statue of Buddha in the Jade Buddha Temple, he was originally made of iron, and there is a ceremony to paste gold paper for this iron Buddha.
Legend has it that if you stick gold paper in different places, you will have different blessings.
If you stick it on the chest of the Iron Buddha, you will get love, if you stick it on the hands of the Iron Buddha, you will have wealth, and if you stick it on the head of the Iron Buddha, you will have wisdom.
Because the incense of the Jade Buddha Temple is prosperous, and all living beings are asking for a lot, so an iron Buddha was pasted into a golden Buddha by the pilgrims.
Zheng Zhiya and Zheng Qingfeng each received a piece of gold paper in their hands and saw this iron Buddha.
Zheng Qingfeng pasted the gold paper on the instep of his foot.
Zheng Zhiya pasted the gold paper on the back of his hand.
"Brother Wuyi, I didn't expect you to be such a money-loving person."
"I just saw that the iron Buddha was shining with golden light everywhere, but one piece of iron leaked out, and I could reach it without much effort."
Zheng Qingfeng listened and was silent.
"I don't know why Qingfeng, why did you stick the gold paper on the instep of the Iron Buddha."
"I thought to myself, pilgrims all seek wealth and intercession for their own troubles, and few people are concerned about the needs of this iron Buddha. Only when we are stable can we have wealth, love, and wisdom. So I put this piece of gold paper on the back of my foot. ”
"So, you mean, do you think that by sticking the gold paper on the back of the Iron Buddha's feet, you can get everything that the Iron Buddha blesses?"
"Pretty much."
"If it does, will it be a little too heavy to carry it from it to you."
Zheng Qingfeng smiled and shook his head.
The two of them walked among the grand temples, and from time to time from afar the monks chanted Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit. The weather was gloomy, the air in Bangkok was already hot and humid, and coupled with the rule that the Temple of the Emerald Buddha must wear a long shirt, the clothes of the two were already soaked with sweat and moisture.
Although the Thai temple style has its own unique aesthetic and imagination, it is a slightly twisted and exaggerated design. However, it is such a climate, such a people, and such a culture that makes you feel that such a design is not exaggerated, even if it is beautiful, but it is far from gorgeous.
Less than half an hour later, Zheng Zhiya and Zheng Qingfeng were already tormented by the sweltering weather, and they didn't want to waste any more energy, and just wanted to end the sightseeing hastily.
"There's a department store across the road, so let's go there and avoid it."
When the two of them got out of the gate of the Jade Buddha Temple, they chartered a rickshaw, and the cart was pulled by a Thai boy wearing a straw hat.
Zheng Qingfeng explained two sentences to the driver in fluent Thai, and the tricycle slowly boarded.
It took about five minutes, Zheng Zhiya got off the bus first, and Zheng Qingfeng gave the driver 20 baht, which should include a tip, otherwise it would not have been 20 baht in five minutes at the current price in Thailand.
Zheng Zhiya didn't know Thai, and he didn't know what the name of this department store was, but as soon as he entered the department store, he walked through the air wall that separated the indoor and outdoor air with wind pressure as soon as he entered the door, and immediately felt a burst of refreshment on his skin.
The sudden drop in humidity and temperature around the skin causes the moisture on the epidermis to evaporate, taking away the heat from the body and causing the body temperature to drop. At this moment, Zheng Zhiya felt that he was alive again.
Air conditioning is really a great invention, Zheng Zhiya can't help but admire it in his heart.
The fact that the Nobel Prize in Physics was not awarded to Willis Kelly, the inventor of the air conditioner, can be said to be the greatest shame of their organizing committee, which should forever be engraved on the pillar of shame of the Nobel Prize.
After all, even if the invention of the air conditioner was only an advance in applied science, Willis Kelly saved thousands of lives.
Zheng Qingfeng then followed Zheng Zhiya into the department store.
The department store has only three floors, and the interior plan is flattened, and 70% of the division is made up of women's clothing. It's no surprise that 70% of the world's consumption is made by women, so 70% of the stores are women's clothing, which is in line with the laws of nature. The pattern is the same in Thailand, China, Japan, Europe and the United States.
Zheng Zhiya and Zheng Qingfeng's purpose was not to buy things, they were really tired. So, after looking at the shopping guide sign on the first floor, the two walked through the dazzling shops and went straight to the coffee shop on the first floor.
It is said to be a café, but it is actually a café that focuses on local fruits and drinks.
Maybe because the weather was too hot, Zheng Zhiya no longer ordered the drinks he was familiar with, he ordered the tropical fruit sundae, and Zheng Qingfeng ordered the strawberry sundae after watching it for a while.
The two of them found a booth and sat down opposite each other, and after shopping for a long time, they were both a little tired, so they both wanted to take a break first, so they were very tacitly reluctant to speak.
They rested on the back of the sofa for a while.
"Brother Wuyi, do you come to Thailand to travel by yourself?"
"No, I'm here with a friend."
"I think you're also a person who likes efficiency."
"How?"
"There are too many people, it is inevitable to procrastinate, if you have to do what you want to do, you don't have to worry about others."
It may be that Zheng Zhiya acting alone made Zheng Qingfeng, who also acted alone, have a sense of closeness, and the lone wolf is sometimes happy to be close to the lone wolf.
However, Zheng Zhiya is not a lone wolf.
"Having said that, there are still many things in the world that one person can't do, so there is always a need for family and friends to support each other, isn't it?"
"I don't think, I always feel that most of my relatives are just a drag, they always hinder my ideas, they ruin my will. So, I went out on my own. ”
"It seems that Qingfeng, you are really a person who likes efficiency."
"Yes, it's better to be honest, Mr. Zheng, you're also a fortune diviner, right?"
Zheng Qingfeng looked straight into Zheng Zhiya's eyes, and Zheng Zhiya responded with a direct gaze.
Zheng Zhiya smiled.
He nodded.
Zheng Qingfeng also smiled.
At this time, the Thai waitress with a ponytail put the sundae of the two on the table of the two, but she put the fruit colorful sundae in front of Zheng Qingfeng, and put the strawberry sundae in front of Zheng Zhiya. And, put down two glasses of white water for the two.
"That's... If I don't mind, I'd love to eat that fruit sundae. ”
After all, strawberry sundaes can be eaten in China, and that fruit colorful sundae is full of all kinds of tropical fruits that can't be named.
Zheng Qingfeng pushed the sundae in front of him in front of Zheng Zhiya, and Zheng Zhiya pushed the strawberry sundae in front of him in front of Zheng Qingfeng.
In fact, Zheng Zhiya guessed that he was a fortune teller when Zheng Qingfeng rescued the Hong Kong family.
Because, in the face of beggars who have lost their minds, if you don't use the Ning Shen Spirit Talisman to drive the Yuan Shen to form a formation to calm those beggars down first, no words are useless.
You can't convince a person who has lost his mind with words alone, but a reasonable person always has a way of convincing him with words.
Judging from Zheng Zhiya's judgment that Zheng Qingfeng used a spirit rune, he must be a fortune diviner. Then, he was willing to go with him, apparently intending to make friends with him.
It will appear in this place at this time, nine times out of ten, Zheng Qingfeng is also for the same goal, Tian Yanlu.
But how did he judge that he was also a fortune teller?
"So, you're also the Zheng family, right?"
Zheng Zhiya ate it and dug a mouthful of ice cream and put it in his mouth, which was a little too sweet. He took another sip of water to dilute the sweetness in his mouth.
"Don't you know that my name is Zheng Qingfeng?"
"No, I mean, you are the old general Zheng Chenggong Zheng, the Zheng family who used Taiwan as a base to find the thing lost overseas at the end of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Zheng Zhiya didn't pick the three words of tomorrow's performance, because he wasn't sure if Zheng Qingfeng really knew about Tianyanlu. After all, the more people know about Tianyanlu, the more competition there is for him.
"Well, yes, I'm the Zheng family from Taiwan. I received the message that the day is now in the hands of an organization called Naga. So, I came to Thailand to complete our mission that the Zheng family has not completed for hundreds of years, and I met you here. ”
Zheng Zhiya took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
15:50。 Ten minutes away, it's Shen Zheng.
"So, you recognize me because of this pocket watch."
"Yes, I think the head of the house also knows the origin of this watch."
"While I wouldn't be naïve enough to think you'd help me for a pocket watch, I know that we have a common rival right now."
Zheng Qingfeng nodded.
"At least, we used to be a family, and now we can be friends."
As he spoke, Zheng Zhiya stretched out his right hand, and Zheng Qingfeng also stretched out his right hand.
The two men shook hands.
"Now, how much do you know about them?"
"I now know that they control the underground throughout Thailand as well as Malaysia. You know, in Thailand and Malaysia, it's not very safe. They can be considered emperors in the dark. ”
"As far as I know, their emperor is a little girl of twenty-one or twelve."
"I don't know."
"Then do you know where Tianyanlu is now?"
"It's not clear for the time being, but I think it should be known soon, and according to my information, there are other forces besides us who have come for the sake of the Heavenly Performance."
"Who?"
"A bunch of British."
"God, what do they want the sky to do?"
"Don't you know that the Western divination master Guan Tian Yan is called the Holy Grail?"
Zheng Zhiya shook his head.
"In the Bible there is a cup filled with the blood of the Son. It's our day that they think it can fulfill any wish. ”
Zheng Zhiya's father once told him that Tianyanlu is an indispensable tool for the art of changing one's life against the sky, and with it, it can influence the pattern of the world.
Then it makes sense that Westerners, according to its shape, have reclaimed it as a holy grail that can grant any wish.
"In that case, the average Westerner is good at action, so we'd better wait and see. Wait for them to help us out of the trap first, and then we'll make plans. ”
"Coincidentally."
Zheng Zhiya agreed.
The two smiled knowingly, since they have been waiting for hundreds of years, the Zheng family is not bad to wait for a few more days.
