Qin Tai is a well-read and well-remembered person, and when he was a child, in order to learn his uncle's Qiu Min's medical skills and autopsy techniques from adults, he often recorded all his knowledge in his own mind. When I got home, I didn't dare to record it in the text, so I had to keep it firmly in my heart. Over time, he has developed a kind of ability to never forget, and he can memorize a large number of awkward mantras or experiences. There are not many people who know this kind of ability, even Zhan Xiaoxiao, the "old drunkard" master, and the "Ma Sandao" who are together don't know, only Xiao Lingzi, who grew up with Qin Tai since childhood, knows that the young master has this kind of ability.

When he was a child, by chance, Qin Tai's ability was known by his parents. When he was a child, Qin Tai's mother was worried about her father and younger brother, and burned incense to worship Buddha all day long. After a long time, Mrs. Qin developed a habit of worshipping Buddha frequently. As the only son of Mrs. Qin, Qin Tai has been going to the temple in Pingyao, his hometown with his mother since he was a child, to worship Buddha. Qin Tai worships Buddha with his mother in the temple, eats fasting, listens to lectures, and sometimes participates in some ****.

At that time, although the Ming Emperor believed in Taoism and advocated Taoism for various reasons, the theory of Buddhism has been deeply rooted in the people. The emperor wanted to live a long life and become an immortal, but the common people wanted to live a peaceful life and be reincarnated as a blessed person in the future. In addition, Buddhism persuades others to do good, do more good deeds, and help more people who are poorer than themselves, which is more suitable for the general public and more acceptable to the public than the Taoist theory of quiet inaction and detachment from things. Therefore, the elderly people in almost every household in the folk believe in Buddhism, and the incense in the folk temple is very good. Shanxi has always been a businessman, to bless the family members who go out to come back safely, but also the wish of the women at home, so in Shanxi Pingyao area not only have many temples, but also built very majestic. Among them, because Shanxi businessmen are rich, Shanxi businessmen who usually pick the door are definitely generous and grand enough in the matter of respecting Buddha.

The temple that Qin Tai went to with his mother was a large local temple in Pingyao, and the elders of the temple were also erudite and talented masters, and it is said that when he was young, he once served as a local magistrate in a certain place in the imperial court. Later, the elder's family passed away, and almost a year later, his parents, wife, and children were gone. It was also in this year that after listening to a mage's explanation, the elder still left the mortal world and went to the mountain to cultivate with the master. A few years later, there was one less learned magistrate in the world, but one more great wise man who was deeply versed in Buddhism. This elder traveled everywhere and preached wherever he went. Later, I came to Pingyao, Shanxi, and was moved by the sophistication of the people here, hoping to use my life to resolve the obsession of the people here who are too fond of money.

Although Qin Tai was more lively when he was a child, he was not a cute child who was loved by everyone. Compared with his peers, Qin Tai looks more wooden and quiet. When everyone thought that Qin Tai's brain was not flexible enough, in fact, Qin Tai's mind was thinking about the medical theory that his uncle Qiu Min told him. For a young child, there is no physical comparison, there is no careful explanation, and it is really a bit troublesome and boring to remember a lot of names just from your own memory. Qin Tai pondered these data and names by himself almost every day, but in the eyes of everyone, he thought that Qin Tai was in a daze alone. Qin Tai's parents were also worried about whether their son Qin Tai would be a fool or be slower than a normal child. Therefore, as long as Mrs. Qin has the opportunity, she often takes her son Qin Tai to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, hoping that the gods and Buddhas will bless her son.

Since the elder came to Pingyao, in his temple, he held a **** every ten days, which not only explained the scriptures, taught many believers, but also had an exquisite meal to entertain everyone. Therefore, ordinary people from near and far, whether they are believers or not, come to participate in ****. The elders also do not care about the status of the larger family, they love to listen and eat, and they use approachable Buddhism to make everyone acceptable.

Mrs. Qin is not a big family, but she has made a lot of contributions to the matter of worshiping Buddha. Almost **** does not fall behind, not only to contribute money and efforts, but also to do it yourself. Almost all of the little masters in many temples knew this Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin not only often worships the Buddha, but also often gives alms to the monks, and almost all the shoes and socks of the masters are made by the women of Pingyao who were led by Mrs. Qin. The ladies of these large families not only use high-quality materials, but also work with meticulous workmanship, and the craftsmen find the shoes and socks not only comfortable but also very durable.

Every time Mrs. Qin came to the temple, she always helped everyone do what she could. There are three themes, the first is the worship of the Buddha in the morning, the second is the fasting at noon, and the third is the lecture on the scriptures and teachings on sentient beings in the afternoon. After Mrs. Qin finished the incense, she helped the masters to arrange the fasting scene or cook the fasting meal. After her lunch, she had time to listen to the afternoon teachings. Every time Mrs. Qin was busy, her two maids divided into two ways, one followed behind Mrs. to fight, and the other followed behind the little young master Qin Tai, looking at the little young master Qin Tai. Qin Tai no longer plays in the temple, and always sits alone in the main hall, or leans against the big pillar outside the main hall, watching the believers come and go.

The master in the temple also knew that this child was Mrs. Qin's child, so he often teased Qin Tai. But Qin Tai was too quiet and didn't talk much, giving people a stupid look. In fact, Qin Tai was shy, and he was just a little scared when he saw strangers. When he was in his own home, everyone knew that this young master was a person who "broke the casserole and asked to the end". A lot of rags at home can prove Qin Tai's "evil deeds", and they are all "broken bones" because of Qin Tai.

The elders in the temple also know this Qin Tai, and in the elder's image, Qin Tai is a polite child. He often followed Qin Tai's mother, Mrs. Qin, to meet the elders, although she didn't say much, but she was very respectful. But the elder hadn't spoken to Qin Tai alone, nor had he really paid attention to Qin Tai.

That time was when Qin Tai was nine years old, and Qin Tai still went to the temple with his mother, Mrs. Qin, to participate in the ****. But this time, there is one more person, and it is Xiao Lingzi, who has just been adopted by Qin Tai's father. Xiao Lingzi came to Pingyao with the fleeing victims, but Xiao Lingzi didn't know what was going on, and fell to the side of the road alone. At that time, there were many people affected by the disaster, and it was common to see them dying on the side of the road because they were hungry and cold. Xiao Lingzi didn't actually die, but he just had a high fever and was about to die. At this time, Qin Tai's father, Master Qin, appeared, and he and his subordinates saw that Xiao Lingzi still had a breath, so they sent Xiao Lingzi to a hospital not far away for treatment. After a few days of treatment, Xiao Lingzi woke up, but his brain burned out, and instead of becoming a fool, he forgot about the past. Master Qin looked at Xiao Lingzi pitifully, so he took the child in and made him a scholar for his son Qin Tai. Because Xiao Lingzi has a pair of very clever eyes, Master Qin named the child Xiao Lingzi. Xiao Lingzi was with Qin Tai like this, and he had never left Qin Tai. Qin Tai has a little younger brother, and Xiao Lingzi has a young master brother who is very good to him.

When Mrs. Qin came this time, she not only wanted to participate in ****, but also wanted to make a "refuge" for Xiao Lingzi. "Refuge" is a ritual in which believers sincerely declare their belief in the Buddha and their willingness to become a lay disciple of a Buddhist family. Qin Tai's family, including his subordinates, has already "converted". Xiao Lingzi also has to "take refuge", just like everyone else. Xiao Lingzi didn't have any opinions, anyway, even the life was given by Master Qin, and the Qin family could do whatever they wanted.

The elder took advantage of the short spare time between the incense in the morning and the fast at noon to make a simple but solemn "refuge" ceremony for Xiao Lingzi. There were not many people watching on the side, because everyone was busy with lunch at that time. There were only the elders in the main hall, one of the elder's apprentices, and a few people such as Qin Tai, Mrs. Qin, and Xiao Lingzi. Xiao Lingzi stood in the middle, following the elder's apprentice. Because the elder is old, it would be good to preside over the ceremony on the side.

Qin Tai, who was watching on the side, was with the elder at close range for the first time, and the elder recited a large number of familiar scriptures with words, and knocked on various magic instruments. The elder's disciples also recited the scriptures with the elder, and instructed Xiao Lingzi to kneel and worship the Buddha with him. The ceremony was not long, and it came to an end after a while. Mrs. Qin wrapped a red envelope and respectfully gave it to the elder and the elder's apprentice, and the elder also handed a written red paper to Mrs. Qin. This is Xiao Lingzi's "refuge" proof, proving that Xiao Lingzi is already a Buddhist secular disciple.

The elder led everyone to the dining hall to prepare for the meal. On the way, Qin Tai spoke to the elder for the first time, as if he had said something, which suddenly surprised the always kind elder. The elder looked at Qin Tai suspiciously, but did not say much. The little Lingzi on the side faintly heard that his young master brother seemed to say that the elder had made a mistake.

When eating in the dining hall, the elder always looked at Qin Tai, as if he had something to say and couldn't say it. The elder is also thinking about the ritual in the main hall, and "taking refuge" for a believer is almost commonplace for an elder, and the elder knows almost every step of the ritual. This kind of ritual has been performed by the elders no less than a thousand times, and the scriptures have been recited more than 10,000 times, so how can they memorize it wrong? However, the elder seemed to remember that he really had a little time in the ceremony, and he was a little absent-minded, as if he had memorized a few words wrong. But how could Qin Tai, a little kid, hear it? The scriptures are not only memorized quickly, but they are all in Sanskrit, not to mention that children like Qin Tai can't understand them, even some erudite bachelors may not be able to translate them all. How could a child of Qin Tai know?

After fasting, the elder rarely invited Mrs. Qin's family to sit down and chat. Mrs. Qin was overjoyed, this was a very rare opportunity. An elder is not only a wise man, but also an elder with great ability, and it is a great honor for himself and his children to be able to get close to the elder.
