On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, it happened to be the Duanyang Festival, and before the day, the atmosphere of the festival spread in Yangzhou, and when the Duanyang Festival arrived, this atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
In the horizontal water, the dragon boat flies across, the drum sound shakes the sky, the people along the river cheer one after another, in the city of Emperor Wu, it is naturally also lively, in front of the store wine shop, full of realgar wine, street vendors, zongzi selling is in full swing, the sound of selling everywhere, shouting, deafening, there are countless people, in this auspicious day to meet to go out, play polo, fly kites, can be described as very pleasant.
The Baijia event was held on this day, and the lively atmosphere added to the fire.
Ruixiang Temple as the largest temple in the city of Emperor Wu, located in the south of the city, Baijia Festival lasts for three days, the whole process is held here, Baijia Festival is held every two years, the influence is quite far-reaching, the future can do a good job of a Baijia Festival, Ruixiang Temple has already started to prepare early from two months ago.
In the Yangzhou territory where Buddhism prevails, Ruixiang Temple is also quite prestigious, although he is not as widely known and admired by the world as Qianchan Temple, but also has its own unique Buddhist prestige and history, and Ruixiang Temple's host Hongxiang Master, is also famous, it is said that the master once fought a hundred monks when he was young, and also created a great reputation for this huge Ruixiang Temple.
Starting from the morning of the fifth day of the first month, the people who come to Ruixiang Temple to worship on incense, in an endless stream, in addition to making a wish on incense, many people also want to see the outstanding style of the Baijia Festival, but the Baijia Festival is not open to the public, the monks of Ruixiang Temple, will be separated from the front temple and the back temple in the morning, there is no invitation card, all invite out, the ordinary people are also afraid of hitting the Buddha's finger, none of them dare to make a time, which also makes the monks of Ruixiang Temple, much easier.
The back temple of Ruixiang Temple is also divided into several places, which are used to hold different types of gatherings and halls, but no matter which place, the landscape architecture is clear and gorgeous, making people seem to have a feeling of being at home, the arrangement of Ruixiang Temple, can be described as very reasonable, which also makes the Baijia event held in Ruixiang Temple can be described as expected.
In order to prepare for her own program, Miss Comb took the finch and followed the monks of Ruixiang Temple early in the morning, and entered the Baijia Festival in advance, in addition to the monks of Ruixiang Temple, the government will also send people to participate in the security protection of the Baijia Festival.
During this period of time, Zhang Luoluo has not appeared again, and other killer strongmen such as the Ghost Face have not appeared again.
Lin Qi and Firefly are both people with invitations, naturally no one will stop them, but they don't have a comprehensive concept of the Baijia Festival, and now they don't have much interest, the two of them hold a zongzi in their hands, wander around the street hand in hand, grinding, and finally come to Ruixiang Temple at ten o'clock in the morning.
Most of the pilgrims in the former temple are pilgrims and believers who come to worship on incense, some for fame, some for profit, some for the success of the family, some for the health of relatives, hundreds of kinds of people are thousands of luxuries, and so on. In this regard, Lin Qi doesn't have too many thoughts, after all, it is a personal belief, and it is enough to seek psychological comfort, after all, everything must be obtained by his own hands after all, and there will be a day when daydreaming will eventually sit and eat empty mountains. It's the firefly pear, this practice of the people, very puzzled, if you worship the Bodhisattva, beg the Buddha, you can have endless food, she has long been nothing, just wait to eat every day!
"Even if the Buddha meets your requirements, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you will even be poor for the Buddha!"
Listening to Firefly's thoughts, Lin Qi couldn't help laughing, the little girl pretended to be annoyed, turned her head and ignored him, but after a while, she forgot all about it, and grinned around Firefly again, look here, where to walk, she is very happy.
Passing through the crowded front yard, under the leadership of the monks of Ruixiang Temple, the two walked through the luxurious corridor, walked through the stone path of nine bends and eighteen bends, the peak turned around, the prospect suddenly opened up, in the back temple of Ruixiang Temple, spacious and magnificent, there are Buddhist hall buildings with Buddhist characteristics, and there are all kinds of strange mountains and rivers and forests, the grass and trees are harmonious, the movement and stillness are appropriate, it can be described as a blessed land in the world.
"Two donors, the little monk will be sent here, go straight here, it is Baiyin Pavilion, turn left is Qianzen Lundao, turn right is Baijiang Forum......" Xiao Shami said in detail, there are more than a dozen kinds of forests, different categories, it is the gathering place of various different categories of Baijia Event.
After the little novice finished speaking, he didn't leave, he still stood in place, stretched out his hands, drooped his eyelids, and looked like his face was sinking like water.
It seems that this monk has lived in the world for a long time, and he has also been contaminated with a lot of vulgar customs, so he took out some idle broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the little novice.
The little novice weighed it, and then smiled happily.
"Thank you to the two donors for their alms, the little monk wishes the two donors good health and good fortune!" After speaking, the little novice bowed slightly, and then jumped away.
Seeing this, Firefly frowned slightly, as if she didn't like it.
"What's wrong, girl?"
"Xiao Qi, you said that even these monks have learned to beg for money, so do you say that the people in the front hall who pray for blessings and worship are so pious, but can they be sheltered?"
It is rare to see fireflies have such a deep question, Lin Qi thought about it carefully, and then opened his mouth to answer.
"Girl, in this earthly world, one of the most things, is to ask, you pay pious faith, I also give you spiritual comfort, there is no more than this thing you want to do, the so-called faith and protection, about so, the people ask, but these things, the more you give, the more you ask, just like this little novice, although he uses this to ask us for money, it seems inappropriate, but even if the Buddha is in this world, it is not exempt from vulgarity, how much does it matter, not to mention that human words are terrible, spend money to buy a few auspicious words, why don't we do itοΌβ
After listening to Lin Qi's explanation, although Firefly was still a little ignorant, she suddenly released her heart and smiled.
Seeing this situation, Lin Qi was also happy, he took the hand of Firefly, followed the stone path under his feet, and continued to walk forward, turning ahead, it is said that it is a place where famous and powerful monks in the world gather, with this opportunity, Lin Qi also wants to see what the famous and powerful Xuanmen demeanor in the world looks like.
