The most vigorous incense god in Mochizuki Peak is not a Bodhisattva, but a dragon lord, a black dragon, known locally as the black dragon lord. The place where pilgrims gather the most is the Black Dragon Temple.

When Niu Struggle and his party came to the mountainside, they saw a temple in the distance filled with incense, and from the map, it was the Black Dragon Temple. They were no exception and walked straight towards the temple.

There is a very empty square in front of the temple, and many cars are parked. In the center of the square, that is, directly opposite the temple gate, there is a huge incense burner, which is surrounded by pilgrims holding incense and worshipping sincerely.

As soon as Niu Zhan led everyone to the square, he immediately greeted a middle-aged man who was full of smiles, wearing lay clothes, and counting prayer beads in his hand, and said very enthusiastically: "A few people are here to worship the Buddha, right?" ”

Niu Zhan smiled slightly, and immediately understood what the person wanted to do. But the little broken children didn't understand, seeing that people were so enthusiastic, they also responded enthusiastically: "Well, we want to put incense on it and worship God." ”

"Well, people who worship God are kind-hearted, and the Buddha blesses people like you. However, there are rules for us to worship God here. Buddhism talks about equality, the incense in the temple, we distribute it for free, three per person, and you can get it with a ticket when you enter the door. The incense we brought ourselves can be burned outside, and the Buddha can feel everyone's sincerity. The middle-aged man said.

Baizhu and the others knew that they were here to worship the Buddha, so they specially bought a few high-headed incense sticks before going up the mountain, and the middle-aged man's words meant that they should burn their incense outside the temple.

As soon as everyone heard it, their favorability doubled, indeed, sincerity has nothing to do with the size of the incense, and it is reasonable for people to arrange it like this.

So the three of them hurriedly distributed the incense to everyone and were about to light the fire. The middle-aged man spoke again: "Don't worry, the gods are different from all directions, since we want to worship, we have to know who to worship, come, I will teach you." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man first faced the east and bowed with his palms reverently: "Worship the east first, the business will be prosperous and the career will be smooth." ”

Seeing that people were so serious, Xiao Pozi and the others said in their hearts, then follow the worship, so they held the incense in their hands and bowed it too. The middle-aged man immediately said, "One bow is not enough, but three bows." One bows to the arrogant, the second worships the wise and thinks together, and the third worships to remove karma. If you want to worship the Buddha sincerely, you must bow three times. ”

Everyone listened to his head and head the Tao, and they didn't think about it at the moment, and bowed three times again. Only Niu Zhan stood aside like an outsider, and he had already lit the incense and threw it into the incense burner.

After worshipping Dongfang Jiayimu, the middle-aged man continued to guide: "Second worship the southern Bingdinghuo, and the future is bright Dengjiake." Three worship of the West Gengxin Jin, and the wealth is pouring into the door. Four worship the northern non water, canopy delivery of Hong Fulai. Worship the Quartet and worship the center, and the center is thick. ”

Everyone followed the guidance and implemented it 1510.

Niu Zhan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, others couldn't understand his words, because he didn't work in feng shui. His master is an old fritter among the warlocks in the rivers and lakes, and these tricks were cleared when Niu Struggle was a teenager. The words that the middle-aged man read just now were things that were only used when worshipping heaven and earth in ancient times, and they were basically used without changing a word, and what they said was still very serious. However, he did not speak, but continued to watch.

The little broken children worshiped and worshipped, and were about to insert it into the incense burner, when the middle-aged man spoke: "Don't worry, when you put on the incense, you must first go to the middle, then to the left, and finally to the right." The incense should be inserted straight and flat, about an inch apart, indicating the heart of the inch. ”

After hearing this, the little broken child showed a suspicious look on his face. He may not understand the set of words of worshipping the gods just now, but he knows very well the importance of incense. Such a cumbersome incense ceremony is only used when Taoists invite the gods, and there is no need to pay attention to it. Moreover, the inch heart comes from Taoist philosophy, which expounds the relationship between man and nature. They worship the Buddha, not the Taoist gods.

However, when he saw that people were so enthusiastic, he didn't want to question it, and he said in his heart that he might be suspicious.

"Okay, you can go into the temple to worship the Buddha, remember, when facing the gods, you must hold the incense on your forehead, so that you can better communicate with the gods. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing you have to pay attention to. After entering, you must not make a wish easily, if you make a wish, in the future, the wish will come true, you must come to repay the wish, otherwise the gods will blame. We are willing to do it here compared to other places, and there are rules. Black Dragon Lord likes to watch dramas the most, if you want to repay your vows, it is best to invite the opera troupe to sing for three days and three nights. However, because the Black Dragon Lord is very effective, and there are many people who come to repay the vows, the play has been scheduled for next year. The middle-aged man said seriously.

"What then? It's too late to make a wish, will the Buddha blame him? Bai Shu asked, the middle-aged man didn't hear it, but there was mockery in her words.

"Of course, the sooner the better, if the rehearsal is too late, it can also be converted into sesame oil money."

"And how much is the right amount?" Baizhu asked.

The middle-aged man smiled: "It's vulgar to talk about money, it's a blasphemy against the gods, more and less, it looks sincere." However, even if you invite a play, 120,000 yuan is too shabby, and the pilgrims who come here to repay their wishes are at least theater troupes with an appearance fee of more than 50,000 yuan. ”

Niu Zhan smiled secretly in his heart: Talking about money customs, isn't it talking about money after talking for a long time? Yes, worship God and make a wish, it depends on the size of the wish, and the cost must be calculated in advance, and the wish with a benefit of less than 50,000 yuan will not be a loss if the wish is repaid. If you pray for the safety of your parents and two lives, shouldn't you also count money according to your lives?

Although he thought so in his heart, he definitely couldn't say it, Niu Zhan asked with a smile: "Big brother, it means that after we go in, we can't make a wish casually, so what do we say?" ”

"What you think in your heart, you can tell the Buddha, but if you make a wish, then you naturally have to come and pay it back, to be a man, you have to talk about gratitude and retribution, right?" The middle-aged man replied.

Niu Struggle finally understood why people said that the Black Dragon Lord had a miracle, it turned out that it was all a routine. Just now he had been observing from the sidelines, and found that there were many people here who were doing the same thing and saying the same thing as the middle-aged man. Needless to say, what they say is by no means a kind reminder, but someone instructs. What is the purpose of this? When people make a wish, it will be more realistic. In fact, many people who come to worship the Buddha have a mental expectation of what they want to do, but they are not confident, and they seek comfort or psychological recognition through worshipping the Buddha. The odds of success are already great, but once you have such an experience, even if you have achieved success by your own efforts, part of the credit has to go to the gods. In addition, there are many pilgrims here, and there are countless examples of miracles, which will naturally create a vast atmosphere of Buddha's magical powers. To put it bluntly, it is a trick of probability, which is the most common trick used by charlatans.

"Okay, we understand, we'll definitely pay attention when we go in, thank you for the reminder." Niu Zhan said politely, but after he finished speaking, he didn't leave immediately, but stared at the middle-aged man, because he knew that the main topic hadn't come yet.

Sure enough, when the middle-aged man saw that everyone was about to enter the temple, he said with a smile: "Everything is a fate, and being able to meet you today is also a fate to meet thousands of miles away." I think everyone is kind-hearted, and the Buddha will definitely bless you. You see, I have been busy working for most of the day, for something, for the sake of making good friends. I have been doing good deeds in private, all thanks to the help of friends from all over the world, the money contributed, the efforts contributed, only in this way, the world can become better, right? ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately understood, it turned out that people were not kind guides, and co-authoring was charged, and their hearts suddenly became awkward, and they didn't know why. So he turned his attention to Niu Struggle, and after listening to the middle-aged man's words, he said in his heart: Yes, this is a whole job!
