Chapter 24 Millennial Ancient Temple
Seeing my sister's light smile, I smiled.
Once, I thought that I had fallen into this red dust, accompanied by only boundless loneliness and fear, those beautiful things, such as family affection, love, they are like rootless fireworks in this earthly world, drifting away in an instant, leaving no trace.
No one will pity me, care about me, care about what I think.
But sister, her smile, her voice and smile, her joy, anger and sorrow, all seemed to take root in my mind and want to take root, sprout and bear fruit.
I was caught off guard, but I was delighted.
It's a wonderful and subtle feeling, and I don't know if it's because I'm ignorantly in love, or if I'm dependent on my sister.
Whatever? I hope that it will not die prematurely like the beauty of summer flowers......
Breakfast was eaten in an atmosphere of inner beauty.
After eating, my sister and I went out, took the No. 8 bus to the city center, and then transferred to the No. 23 bus, and in about an hour, we arrived at the foot of the Yuantong Temple.
Yuantong Temple.
As one of the oldest monasteries in China, with a history dating back thousands of years, it has been said to have some extraordinary abilities since ancient times.
It was built in the Tang Nanzhao era, the name of the initial construction of the Buddha Temple, later because of the great war destroyed, the Yuan Dynasty Chengzong five years rebuilt, "give the seal Shujia", renamed the Yuantong Temple, Yuan Yanyou six years completely completed.
After a long period of dynastic succession, without decay, the Ming Dynasty expanded, built the leading hall. It was repaired many times during the Qing Dynasty and has been preserved to this day.
Looking at this ancient temple that has endured for thousands of years, I can't help but feel a sense of awe.
This ancient temple has extraordinary powers, is it really that godly? Do gods really exist?
This kind of wandering thought flashed through my mind, but I felt very ethereal, and I couldn't define it.
In the end, I had to use the phrase 'if you believe, you have, if you don't believe, you don't', to round out my doubtful thoughts.
A year ago, even from that nightmare, I simply thought that those fears, fears, would only appear in dreams, and that no real disaster would happen, and that they were far away from me.
Grandpa Lin hanged himself because he saw my terrible background and helped me burn a sealed piece of woolen paper.
It seems ridiculous and treacherous, but he is pestering me.
Especially recently, when I was hitchhiking with my sister, there was a parking incident on that bridge; the strange look of my sister playing with rock-paper-scissors in the mirror; The appearance of Cui Yingying in the ancient castle in the dream; The compass held in An Qingming's hand; Hospital elevator woman incident and 18th floor elevator incident.
Every one of these things, any one thing in my mind, and I am extremely scary to think about it, can suppress my nerves.
Somehow, these things used to be soft underbelly that I didn't dare to touch easily, but now, they are all squeezed in my mind.
Moreover, aside from these, it also reminds me of an unrelieved thing, that is, at that time, after my sister heard that Grandpa Lin died, she had that almost desperate look on her face, why?
I wanted to ask my sister, but when I saw that she was really buying high incense sincerely, my words came to my mouth, and I stopped talking and swallowed them raw.
My sister has a secret, and she doesn't want to tell me, so I don't need to ask. In short, I believe that she will not harm me.
When it comes to high incense, there are still some heads, high incense is a kind of incense that is several times more expensive than ordinary incense, it costs 1000 yuan a bunch, of course, it is high, and the quality of incense is also very good.
However, the interesting thing is the old lady who sells incense, she said that she is a servant of the gods in this temple, and the gods told her that the more expensive the people who come here to burn incense and pray for blessings, the more devout they are, and the more spiritual they are, and the deeper the blessings of the gods.
Listening to the remarks that this three-year-old child didn't believe, I smiled, and didn't expose that this old woman dared to blaspheme and do something similar to a robber and robber under such a guise.
It's just that my sister's face was full of excitement, like a three-year-old child, her eyes were shining, and she believed her mother's words.
Well, since my sister is willing to buy it, she will buy it, this kind of thing, it is a voluntary, casual, casual, and fateful, and others are not good at interfering with anything, as the so-called sincerity is spiritual.
Although I have a bank card, it is improper money, and I have no money, so I can't buy ordinary incense.
I didn't buy the so-called ability to do a lot of things, and I was happy to follow my sister freely.
Anyway, my sister is not an outsider, she burns high incense, and it is the same as me.
Climbed hundreds of steps, finally went up to the mountain, came to the incense platform that entered the mountain gate, my sister bought the high incense, lit a bunch of shrines in the incense table, and then, and worshiped devoutly, which led me to the bronze Buddha hall.
When I came to the Bronze Buddha Temple, my sister was familiar with the road, which made me a little puzzled, could it be that my sister often came to this Yuantong Temple, otherwise how could she be so familiar with this road?
"Sister, do you come often?" Looking at her pious and solemn face, I asked.
"yes, I've been here a few times."
"Oh, I mean, no wonder you're so familiar with this place." I muttered and didn't speak again.
Because the bronze Buddha hall has arrived, it is in front.
At this time, in the main hall, an old monk is saluting the Buddha statue with his hands folded, with his back to us.
Hearing the footsteps of my sister and me, he turned around and smiled at my sister and me: "Two donors, morning, yo, it's a white donor, we are really fateful." ”
"I've seen the master, this time I brought my younger brother here, one is to burn incense and worship the Buddha for peace, and the other is to ask for two things to protect the body, please guide the master?" My sister smiled politely and said to the old monk.
"Amitabha, Lord Bai is polite. This time you are burning high incense again, which is really pious. Now that I know what you mean, I'll answer a question or two for you. The old monk smiled slightly, stared at my sister and me's eyebrows, and said with an unfathomable smile, "Physically and mentally exhausted, quite evil, it seems that you are full of resentment, recently, you should have encountered some unclean things." ”
Groov!
When I heard it, I was still shocked, because this old monk has real skills and has seen some clues, and he can actually compare with the mysterious Grandpa Lin, who has some Taoism.
When my sister heard this, she asked anxiously, "Master, please give me some advice, what should we do?" ”
"Let's go get some incense first." The old monk nodded to his sister and smiled.
My sister picked up the incense and lit it in the lobby, and after doing all this, the old monk led me out of the main hall and went straight to the cliff behind.
When passing by a few so-called 'merit boxes', the old monk deliberately stopped.
"Lord Bai, since you want to ask for a peace talisman vessel, then pass from here, and along the way, the merit box will give a good fate."
My sister was convinced of the master's words, and hurriedly thanked: "Master Xie for your guidance."
After thanking her, my sister directly stuffed the two hundred-yuan bills into the merit box.
When I arrived at the second merit box, I was immediately unhappy, so I took my sister's purse, and then explained to my sister, "Sister, I'll come." ”
After speaking, I glanced at the old monk, took out two pieces of change from it, and stuffed them into the merit box very generously and arrogantly.
After doing all this, I ignored my sister's blaming eyes, but glanced at the old monk silently, this so-called master, his face changed slightly.
Finding this, I had a plan in my heart, and when I walked through the third merit box, I still threw two yuan into it, and the old monk's face was white, which was very exciting.
On the fourth merit box, I also threw down two dollars.
A group of three people finally came to Chaoyin Cave, where many talismans requested by my sister hung on the cliff wall.
For these things, I was looking forward to them, because of the old monk's words, but when I passed through these merit boxes, the old monk shattered the expectations in my heart.
If you look carefully, these so-called talismans are some jewelry with a clear price, and the prices vary greatly, ranging from as low as three yuan and five yuan, and as high as tens of thousands of yuan.
My face turned dark.
If my guess is correct, this old monk will definitely introduce my sister to those expensive talismans, at least more than one or two thousand.
It's just that my guess was wrong, the old monk actually introduced the most expensive magic weapon to his sister, but it was hundreds of thousands.
I'm in a cold sweat, old monk, you're too dark.
What to do?
With my sister's devotion to the gods, I couldn't convince her at all.
Suddenly, my heart moved, and I walked to the old monk's side with my back to my sister, staring at the old monk with my eyes and smiling weirdly.
