Chapter 6: Is This Hope?
Walking in front of a statue of the God of Wealth, Tang Chen unconsciously stroked the statue of the God of Wealth in front of him, and said, "This is good, you don't have to eat white food......
"Bah, am I a person who eats white food? Really, I can't make up for sleep, and I slept for less than two hours ......."
Lin Chao rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom.
"It came just in time, you know, I took over this shop just after graduating, I didn't have any savings, and I almost ran out of money from my parents. This lunch, you can solve it. It's a phone ...... for a fast food restaurant nearby."
Seeing Tang Chen like this, Lin Chao scolded with a smile: "Are you looking for a long-term meal ticket?
"It's worthy of Xiao Linzi, it's really self-aware! I really just wanted to doze off, and someone sent a pillow, I didn't take it, I'm a fool!"
Lin Chao said helplessly: "Okay, seeing that you are so miserable, I will help you." By the way, Tang Chen, you didn't think about going out to find a job? You are a full-fledged college graduate, much better than me, who didn't finish high school......"
Tang Chen unconsciously touched the statue of the God of Wealth, sighed and said, "In today's society, there are as many undergraduates as dogs, and graduate students are walking all over the place, how easy is it to find a job?"
Lin Chao frowned and said, "But you guard this shop, and you don't seem to have any business to do?"
Tang Chen "sneered" and said, "Isn't this just for you to come to help me! You are my God of Wealth!"
Lin Chao was stunned for a moment, watching Tang Chen caressing the statue of the God of Wealth, only then did he understand what Tang Chen was referring to, and scolded with a smile: "It seems that you haven't changed at all, and your skin is still so thick!"
"Hehe...... " Tang Chen laughed twice and suddenly stopped.
"Hey, this ...... What's going on?"
When Tang Chen saw the statue of the God of Wealth in front of him, a little golden light suddenly appeared, and he almost didn't throw it out.
Fortunately, Tang Chen knew that the God of Wealth was the god in charge of wealth in Chinese folklore, and the God of Wealth was mainly divided into two categories: one was the Taoist bestowal seal, and the other was the Han folk belief. Taoism confers the title of Tianguan God, and the Han folk belief is Tianguan Tianxian.
The lineup of the God of Wealth given by Taoism as "one in all directions" is: Zhongbin God of Wealth Wang Hai (middle), God of Wealth: Bigan (East), Fan Li (South), Wu God of Wealth: Guan Gong (West), Zhao Gongming (North). There are also other four gods of wealth: Duanmuci (southwest), Li Yizu (northeast), Guan Zhong (southeast), and Baigui (northwest).
It is also said that the worship of these gods of wealth is roughly that Wang Hai, the god of wealth in Zhongbin, is in charge of the fortune of people after the age of sixty, the god of wealth in the southeast and the god of wealth in the northwest are in charge of the fortune of people after the age of thirty, and the god of wealth in other directions is in charge of the fortune of people before the age of thirty.
The folk belief in the God of Wealth is more complicated, generally the Moon God of Wealth Zhao Gongming is worshiped as the God of Wealth, Li Yizu, Bigan, Fan Li, Liu Hai are worshiped as the God of Literature and Wealth, Zhong Kui and Guan Gong are worshiped as the God of Wealth of the Blessing Town. The Sun and Spring God Qing Emperor and the Moon God of Wealth Zhao Gongming are collectively called "Spring Blessing", and the two gods of the sun and the moon are often pasted on the door during the New Year.
Chinese tradition, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there is a saying that the God of Wealth is received, and Zhao Xuantan, the Lord of Handan, is the most respected. Zhao Xuantan is the god of wealth worshiped by the Han people, the name is Lang, the word is Gongming, and the folk are called Zhao Gongming. Many shops and residences enshrine his woodblock printing statues: the face of the altar is like the bottom of a pot, holding a steel whip, riding a black tiger, extremely powerful.
And the "God of Martial Wealth" Guan Sheng Emperor worshipped by folk merchants is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. Legend Guan Yun long in charge of the soldiers and horses station, long in arithmetic, invention of the day is thin, and talk about credit, heavy righteousness, so for the merchants worshipped, the general merchants to Guan Gong as their patron saint, Guan Gong is also regarded as the God of Wealth and treasure. Merchants who believe in Emperor Guan's holy monarch should offer livestock to Guan Gong on the fifth day of the first month, set off firecrackers, burn gold paper to worship, and ask Emperor Guan to bless him with a year of wealth and prosperity.
This God of Wealth under Tang Chen should be the God of Wealth, and he is the most popular God of Wealth. I saw that this God of Wealth was covered in gold, and his style was no different from that of an ordinary God of Wealth, his face was black like Bao Zheng, riding a tiger, holding an iron whip in his hand, and he looked majestic.
Originally, there was nothing like this God of Wealth, and there were many statues of the God of Wealth in the shop, not only Zhao Gongming, but also about the Holy Emperor, all of which came from porcelain.
But under Tang Chen's staring at this statue of Zhao Gongming's God of Wealth, he suddenly felt a slight swelling pain on his forehead, and then his eyes were dim and purple-gold, as if he had anemia when he suddenly stood up after squatting for a long time.
Fortunately, such a situation flashed by, and after the darkness passed, Tang Chen immediately saw an invisible energy field spread out from the copper coin in his hand. This energy field is like the halo of the sun, tangible but non-existent, and very obvious.
"What's going on?"
Tang Chen was frightened by the strange thing happening in front of him: "Could it be an illusion?"
Thinking of this, Tang Chen hurriedly rubbed his eyes, but when he found that the energy field was still the same, he was coiled around the copper coin, like a transparent cover, enveloping his palms in it, and there were even signs of spreading throughout his body. In such a supernatural situation, Tang Chen was so frightened at first that he almost didn't throw out the statue of the God of Wealth. But after holding back the shock, Tang Chen slowly felt it, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but it seemed like a spring breeze, and his body was comfortable for a while.
And when he looked at the statue of the God of Wealth, the purple-gold light was not decreasing, but was showing signs of getting thicker and thicker.
Zhao Gongming, who was in the ceramics above, seemed to have come to life, and his eyes became extremely bright.
"Hell !!"
Tang Chen hurriedly put down the statue of the God of Wealth, but he still found that the energy field in front of him was still the same, but it was out of his palm and out of his body.
"No, this thing doesn't seem to be harmful, right?"
Tang Chen was bold, and put his hand on the statue of the God of Wealth again, only to see that energy, as if it had become extremely happy, pounced on Tang Chen. In just a short moment, Tang Chen felt as if his whole person was a little different.
He looked elsewhere and found that not only the statue of the God of Wealth exuded an energy field, but even the entire room was full of brilliance and color.
"What's going on?"
The sudden change made Tang Chen stunned. Suddenly, he remembered what his grandfather had told him: "Chenzai, remember, there are some clever feng shui masters who have practiced a kind of thaumaturgy, called Wangqishu. Legend has it that when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Yafu Fan Zeng once sent people to look at Liu Bang's qi and found that Liu Bang presented a colorful scene of dragons and tigers, which was the qi of the Son of Heaven. So he set up a Hongmen banquet and wanted to kill Liu Bang. It's a pity that it backfired, Liu Bang had to get out of the big trouble and had the last laugh. When you practice the Qi Technique to the realm of wisdom, you can see through the magic weapon at a glance, you can break the blessings and misfortunes of the Yin and Yang House, and you can see the true dragon knot acupoint, which is very magical......"
Thinking of this, Tang Chen swallowed his saliva, and his heart turned over for a while: "Could it be that this is the Wangqi that my grandfather often talks about? Doesn't it mean that Wangqi has to be practiced for a long time, and there is a special practice method to achieve it?"
This sudden ability surprised Tang Chen himself, and when Lin Chao next to him saw it, he thought he was a ghost.
