Chapter 10 Don't Feel Too Good Throwing Coins
In ancient times, without airplanes and high-speed rail, it was a very troublesome thing to go out.
This to Songshan Shaolin, the road is not close, if in modern times, with convenient tools, naturally only need an hour to arrive, but in ancient times, even if it is a horse galloping, it takes ten days and a half months.
Fortunately, there is nothing important, this time I came out, I was also to enjoy the ancient scenery, and I was mainly distracted, so I set off unhurriedly.
Just travel all the way, meet something fun, like it, buy it, anyway, there is no shortage of silver taels, happy is the most important.
Among them, there is no shortage of camping outside the country, thanks to the fact that there is no wildlife protection law yet.
Pure wild, pollution-free, hormone-free meat, fruits and vegetables, plus, Huang Rong, a beautiful chef who can win the first place in the world, is simply not too happy all the way.
If Huang Rong is not her own sister, it will be even better. Forestry is not without pity.
Along the way, the beautiful life of eating and drinking, accompanied by beauty, completely corroded the forestry, so that when I arrived at Shaomuro Mountain, I almost forgot what to do.
And Huang Rong seems to have entered the role of a good wife and mother and can't extricate herself.
After more than ten days of being alone, the relationship between them seems to have developed in a strange direction.
Forestry doesn't just see her as his sister.
......
Although the Jiuyang Sutra is very easy to start, if you want to get out of the Jiuyang Sutra from the Shaolin Temple, it is naturally impossible to walk in so grandly.
You have to dress up first, it's impossible to hold a long sword, and then shout and say, I want to take a look at your Buddhist scriptures, and lend me your Ranga scriptures, so that they will think that you are here to kick the hall, and then the eighteen bronze men and the like will come to greet you.
Therefore, you must be tactful in life and work, and face is given to each other.
I found an inn at the foot of Songshan Mountain and stayed there, and I must decorate it before I go.
Back in the room, Lin Lin told Huang Rong: "Rong'er, if you go to Shaolin tomorrow, we will pretend to be believers who have come to the temple to make vows, and we must not expose our martial arts." ”
"Don't worry, with the martial arts of the Nine Yin True Scriptures, cover up your true qi, no problem. Besides, I'm so smart that I won't have an accident. patting her small chest, Huang Rong reassured.
Rested for the night.
The next day, Forestry put the long sword in the inn, put on a white robe, held a white feather fan, and on his waist was a jade pendant that symbolized auspiciousness and wealth.
Then, I spent money to find an intermediary to invite a few small guys, sat in a soft sedan chair, and went up Songshan leisurely with Huang Rong.
And Huang Rong's proposal to pretend to be a husband and wife, the forestry industry did not refuse.
At this time, the Shaolin Temple, there is no longer the scenery of the martial arts Taishan Beidou in the Tianlong period, especially the incident of the fire foreman Tuo, the disciples in the door suffered heavy casualties, the roots in the temple were shaken, and the strength was already much inferior to before.
In this way, Wang Chongyang's Quanzhen Sect can become the first major faction in martial arts, in addition to the fact that Wang Chongyang, the master of the bar, is indeed good at martial arts, which is also a big reason.
Near the temple, the wall of the gate is slightly dilapidated, but it reveals a sense of historical vicissitudes, and a solemn and majestic meaning affects the pilgrims from this seemingly dilapidated building.
In the end, it is a sect that has been passed down for countless years and can still exist after all kinds of wars. Even if it is a weak time at this time, the background and atmosphere of this great sect are far from being comparable to the emerging sect.
walked forward, saluted the two little monks at the door, and said, "Xiaosheng Forestry, bring Neizi here to offer incense, and I hope that the little master will go and report it." ”
One of the older ones recited a sentence of Amitabha Buddha and replied: "The Buddha is destined to be a person, and the donor has this heart, so he can go in." ”
"However, Buddhism is a place of cultivation, and it is stipulated that female dependents are not allowed to enter, and I hope the donor will forgive me."
Forget this stubble, no more than later generations of monks can get married and have children, in ancient times, at least on the bright side, there are a lot of rules and precepts.
As a last resort, he motioned to Huang Rong and asked her to go back to the inn and wait for him first.
Although she was not happy, she also knew that now was not the time to make a difference.
Looking at Huang Rong who was far away, Forestry saluted again and walked into the temple alone.
The hall that was supposed to be full of incense was a little deserted at this time. Only the sound of wooden drums was heard, and the Buddha horn was melodious.
Looking from afar, the golden-bodied Buddha sitting on the Daxiong Treasure Hall is looking at the Shaolin Temple today and tomorrow with the same tranquility, dignified, and benevolent eyes in the red dust.
It's just that the color of the Buddha's golden body is a little dull.
And most of the monks you see are also yellow and thin, and you can't see a trace of richness at all.
It seems that the life of Shaolin Temple is not easy, look at what kind of hunger it has become.
At the same time, I am more confident about this trip.
After a while, an elderly monk came to receive Forestry: "Amitabha, the poor monk has seen the benefactor. ”
Forestry hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen the master." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Disciple Forestry, this time, I came to pray for my mother's blessing and petition. My mother has been worshipping the Buddha sincerely for many years, and now that her birthday is approaching, she is too old to travel far, so she ordered me to put a few pillars of incense on her behalf. Please also make it easier for the master! ”
The great monk folded his hands, recited the Buddha's name, and said: "Lin Jushi is filial, and this temple naturally has no reason to disapprove, please come with me." ”
Speaking, he started from the side hall with forestry and introduced the story of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to him one by one.
And forestry is also a Buddhist believer, honestly worshipping incense.
A circle down, Rao is forestry. Jiuyin big CD felt back pain and fatigue.
When I looked at the hour, it was past noon. Just looking at the Buddha statue took most of the day.
After burning the incense and worshipping the Buddha, it will be the most important incense money.
With a smile on his face, Lin Lin took out a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred taels, and slowly threw it into the merit box under the surprised eyes of the old monk.
"Amitabha." Under the agitation of the mood, the old monk couldn't help but recite a Buddha name to stabilize his mind.
Don't blame him for his gaffe, you must know that in the Great Song Dynasty, the consumption power of one tael of silver is almost relative to seven hundred soft sister coins, and one hundred taels of silver is seventy thousand incense money, not to mention the huge amount, it is not a small amount.
Is that the end of it? Of course not!
In the monk's shock, another hundred taels of silver tickets were gently thrown into the box......
That's it, two, three......
With a smile on his face, looking at the old monk's mouth closed in shock, Forestry thought in his heart: "It's a great feeling to scatter coins......
Ten tickets were cast, a thousand taels of silver, and forestry was stopping.
One thousand taels of silver, nearly one million dollars, when Buddhism was strong, it was naturally nothing. But now that Buddhism is weak and its reputation is not envied, it is a huge amount of money for them.
After the Shaolin Temple was closed, the disciples were not allowed to go out and walk around, and the Quanzhen Sect was famous, who still remembered what the Shaolin Temple was, and naturally there would not be many pilgrims who came to contribute incense money.
Looking at the old monk's sallow face, with a surprise that could not be concealed, Forestry couldn't help but sigh, it was not easy to come out and mix.
"Amitabha." The old monk put away his excited look, bowed deeply to the forestry, and said: "The heart of the layman is very pious, and the Lingtang will definitely live a hundred years and be blessed with longevity and health. ”
"Inherit the master's auspicious words." There was a slight pause, "Disciple." There is one more thing, I hope the master will make it convenient. ”
"Layman, please."
Sugar-coated cannonballs, the benefits you eat, of course cannonballs can't be returned.
"My mother has sincerely worshiped the Buddha for many years, and she is particularly fond of Buddhist scriptures, and now that her birthday is approaching, Xiao Ke wants to copy a few Buddhist scriptures for her and send them to her mother on her birthday, in order to show filial piety, and hope that the master will allow it."
"This ......"
Seeing the old monk's hesitation, Lin Lin continued to seduce: "Of course, the precious things of the Buddhist scriptures, whether they are successful or not, Xiao Ke is willing to reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue in your temple, which can be regarded as a good fate." I hope that the master will fulfill my heart. ”
"This is a big matter, I want to inform Abbot Yu that he is the master, and I ask the layman to wait."
"As it should be."
