Guarding the gods and signing the temple to congratulate the public, comforting words and smiling. A Book of Changes says blessings and misfortunes, and the three worlds are open from here. An idle poem is about the past temple blessings to tell fortunes and solve lots, pointing out the situation of good and bad in life. Temple Zhu is a very ancient profession, with a history of at least thousands of years in China, there is a temple and there is a temple Zhu, in charge of the temple incense.

Before the liberation, temples and nunnery were everywhere on the land of China, such as Beidi Temple, Renwei Temple, Xishan Temple, Jinhua Temple, Huaguang Temple, Wenchang Temple, Guanyin Temple, Guandi Temple, Land Temple, etc. And the stewards in these temples are temple blessings. In addition to guarding the temple, Miao Zhu often explains the danger for others, divides the future, looks at marriage, determines blessings and misfortunes, and points out the lost. Therefore, in the past, many people went to the temple, and after praying to God and worshiping Buddha, they also asked for a lot; Many women, in particular, are particularly keen on it.

The people who ask for the lot are generally very religious. First, small baskets and baskets were used to fill the offerings to the gods, including incense, sesame oil, fruits, cakes, chicken, duck and pork. When you arrive at the main hall of the temple, you will quietly place offerings on the offering table, insert lit incense into the incense burner, and add a little oil to the lamp.

Then, the worshipper will kneel on the futon in front of the statue, bow three heads, silently say what he asked, then get up and walk to the god case and take the stick, turn around and kneel down again, hold the sticker with both hands and slowly shake it back and forth until a stick is shaken. Then he picked up the sign from the ground and went to the temple to solve it.

The sign is marked by the hexagram, which is divided into upper, middle and lower hexagrams, among which there is a difference between the upper and lower signs. After taking a seat, the temple blessing that unravels the signature will first ask the seeker what kind of things he is asking for, such as his future, wealth, himself, or asking for peace when he is sick. Miaozhu is not an unpredictable prophet, he always has to ask the seeker what he is asking for, and then he will look at the sign and say it directly. If you sign a bad omen, you will teach people to turn evil into good fortune and tide over difficulties. Miao Zhugong is often eloquent, has a kind attitude, and can guess people's hearts.

Temple Zhugong generally does not pretend to be a ghost, and some also have medical skills and know some charms, so ordinary people will think that they are unfathomable. The signing fee for unsigning depends on fate, generally one or two dimes.

Such an ancient profession, since the cleaning of all the ghosts, snakes and gods, has been nearly extinct, in recent decades has disappeared in history, no more temple wishes, think about it, in this era, no one is satisfied with their duties, willing to poor people to live in a small temple.

A sigh, quiet and quiet, with such a desolate smell, but this is just a dilapidated tube building, and there are also temple blessings? Wang Xiaohu was full of doubts, seeing that William Lin suddenly changed his appearance, the person is still the same person, the difference is that his expression and eyes have become different, and his waist is also rickety, as if he is much older in an instant, he knows that William Lin is possessed by ghosts, and he is suddenly anxious and angry, and bites his tongue hard, the tip of his tongue is the most tender place on the human body, and it hurts when he slams, and the tip of Wang Xiaohu's tongue has been bitten by him one night, and when he bites it again, the cold sweat of pain rises, but he immediately gets up in spirit, and he can't care about it at this time. I'm going to vomit on William Lin.

As soon as he pouted, he heard the old man's voice say: "Don't vomit, although the blood on the tip of your tongue is full of yang energy, you can't help me." ”

Wang Xiaohu took a mouthful of blood foam in his mouth, it was so uncomfortable that he spit it out in the palm of his right hand, pinched his hands, and asked loudly: "What do you want?" ”

The old voice said, "I won't do anything with you, let's reason and see if you should stay in this place." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Xiaohu's eyes, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly dodged, he was also a little at a loss, the spell was recited by him, and the mantra was also recited by the god of the land, it didn't work, why did he still attract a ghost temple blessing?

As soon as he dodged, William Lin's hand paused in the air, and the old voice sounded again: "You don't have to be afraid, I have no malicious intent, I just help you open your eyes and let you see what kind of place this is." ”

Wang Xiaohu was really angry, pointed at William Lin's nose, and yelled loudly: "I don't care what you are, I advise you to leave my friend quickly, if something happens to him, I won't finish with you, I won't learn the Tao, no one will teach you, no one will teach you, you will steal the teacher, no matter how many years, whether it is heaven or earth, you will die!" Even if you are a ghost, Lao Tzu will let you die again! ”

To say that Wang Xiaohu is not afraid of being fake, but he is even more afraid that William Lin will have an accident, as soon as the mixed energy comes out, his fingers are pointing, and the spit star sprays William Lin's face, and after saying the cruel words, William Lin suddenly blew into his eyes, this breath is cold and cold, and it seems to be mixed with many fine powders.

Wang Xiaohu was caught off guard, he felt that his eyes suddenly stinged, ahhh

The moonlight was quiet, spilling into the dark tube building, a blonde foreigner, with an old expression, looked at a young man in his twenties on the ground, and there was a fat monk lying on the stairs, so the situation was indescribably weird.

Wang Xiaohu made a few blind gestures, but the other party did not take the opportunity to harm him, and his eyes gradually stopped being as uncomfortable as burning, and his teary eyes opened vaguely, and his eyes were hazy and bright. His eyes became clearer and clearer, this clarity was something he had never seen before, and for a moment he even saw the flow of the wind outside the room, the world was still this world, but it became a little different.

In Wang Xiaohu's eyes, the objects that used to feel lifeless had their own life in an instant, and the old voice came: "Child, you come out with me, and I will show you the real appearance of this building." ”

Wang Xiaohu followed the sound and looked, inside William Lin's body, an old and faint shadow occupied his entire body, Wang Xiaohu felt that the shadow was not malicious, and couldn't help but stand up and follow him towards the door.

Out of the door, in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, the entire world became vivid and natural. Even the bright moon and stars in the sky seemed to sense him, and suddenly became extremely bright. Wang Xiaohu had never seen such a beautiful starlight, and at this moment he felt so close to them, and the starlight shone on his body, with a warm temperature.

Such a wonderful feeling made Wang Xiaohu intoxicated, unable to extricate himself, confused, his shoulder was patted, and he suddenly woke up, William Lin pointed to the tube building behind him, Wang Xiaohu turned around and looked, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, where is the old tube building in front of him, but a small land temple.

The temple gate to the east, the scale is not large, in fact it is a small temple of the size of three rooms, antique, quite dilapidated, but you can still see the solemnity of the temple, a couplet, the upper link: it is for people to have a sincere heart, why do you need to burn incense and make a wish. Downlink: If you act unreasonably, you need to prevent me from knocking on the head with a cane.

The land temple is a temple dedicated to the "land god" by the people, and everyone is born with a "temple king land" - that is, the land temple to which it belongs, similar to everyone's hometown; After the death of a person, when they perform the ritual of transcendence, that is, when they do the dojo, they will obtain the land temple to which they belong. The birthday of the land god is the second day of the second month of February, and in the old days, the government and the people went to the land temple to burn incense and worship.

China has always had the custom of worshiping the "land god", and the villagers called the "land god" "land god", and called the land temple the land temple. It is a rule since ancient times that people carry the fragrant fat goose and fat chicken to worship the "land lord" when their children are full moon, one year old, go to school, take office, go out of the house, get married, win the lottery and other festive events.

But since the breaking of the four olds, the land temple on the land of the Central Plains is almost extinct, Wang Xiaohu didn't expect to open his yin eyes and see a land temple, he instantly suddenly, attached to William Lin must be the temple of the land temple, no wonder there will be ghosts to come to make trouble, no matter how small the land temple is, it is also a place of gods, and it is normal for mortals to stay here.

Although I don't know the cause and effect of the road, Wang Xiaohu also understands that this must be the land temple before, otherwise it would not be like this, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We don't want to disturb the land lord, it's really poor and have no place to go, it's winter now, and if there is no place to live, we have to freeze to death. ”

Wang Xiaohu said bitterly, Miao Zhu was silent for a while, and said, "Come in with me first." After speaking, he walked towards the temple, Wang Xiaohu looked at the land temple in front of him, and knew that this was a ghost yamen, and he didn't want to go in, but William Lin hadn't gotten out of trouble yet, not to mention that the other party was not an ordinary ghost and lonely ghost, so he could only follow in.

At this time, if there are outsiders, you will see Wang Xiaohu and William Lin walking into the tube building, but in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, it is to step into the land temple, just enter the temple gate, the scene inside suddenly changed, and it is an ancient yamen-like hall, in the middle of a simple bookcase, behind which sits a kind little old man, dressed in simple clothes, buried in various approvals.

You don't need to ask, you know that the old man must be the land here, Wang Xiaohu was in a trance, and he was able to see the land lord who has been passed down through the ages, I don't know if it is fortunate or unfortunate, the land lord is around, two little ghosts are waiting, one of them is the little ghost wearing a white paper hat who warned him the night before.

This place really can't stay, Wang Xiaohu was in a gloomy mood, and looked at it in a daze, but saw Miao Zhu walk to the side of the land lord and whispered a few words, the land lord put down the brush in his hand and looked up at Wang Xiaohu.

The eyes of the land lord had an awe-inspiring divine light, and Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but tremble, lowered his head slightly, and didn't dare to look at him, but the land lord quickly withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said a few words in the ear of Miaozhu.
