Chapter 16 Taoist priests also love money

Qi Xiaoyang had dinner at the door of the small hotel, and then returned to the room to study the small round card carefully. I couldn't see the slightest bit of fame left and right, and I followed the appearance of the portrait, sitting cross-legged on the bed, stretching forward with one hand, and putting the index finger of the other hand on my temple, and meditated for an hour, the feeling was still the same as if it were nothing. Tired of sitting, Qi Xiaoyang began to analyze and deduce the possible relationship between the round card and the Sanqing Temple, and tossed until midnight, and initially came to a conclusion that he thought was more reliable, this thing is related to faith, and it needs to be used on occasions such as the Buddhist temple, because its source is the Lama Temple, and the Lama Temple belongs to Buddhism, not necessarily related to Taoism alone. With this conclusion, Qi Xiaoyang decided to go to Sanqing Hall again tomorrow and use time and patience to find out further results.

Xuanyu Temple is a grand view of incense, and pilgrims enter to worship early in the morning. Qi Xiaoyang and the Taoist priests who had been in the morning class left after chanting the scriptures, and then chose a futon in the corner of the main hall to sit down, and quietly realized it as if it were yesterday. After nine o'clock, pilgrims and tourists came in an endless stream, and there were also two Taoist priests on duty at the door of the main hall who were responsible for striking the bell and collecting incense money. The two Taoist priests saw Qi Xiaoyang sitting in the corner for a long time, and after muttering for a while, one of them came to him and asked, "Little donor, what are you doing here?"

Qi Xiaoyang nodded in salute and replied seriously: "Hello Brother Dao, when I came to this Sanqing Hall last night, I seemed to feel a kind of divine call, because it is not very real, so continue to come here today to realize it, if the feeling is true, maybe we can become senior brothers!"

The thin Taoist priest looked at Qi Xiaoyang with strange eyes, probably scolding him for talking nonsense in his heart, but he still said politely: "That little donor is destined for our Taoist, you might as well donate some incense money, and the ancestor of Tianzun will bless you." ”

Qi Xiaoyang laughed in his heart, how could this monk be money as soon as he opened his mouth! He didn't dare to say this, and promised: "Brother Dao is right, I will donate in a while, donate more!"

When the thin Taoist priest heard him say donate more, there was a smile on his face: "Then the little donor should sit here, and remember to come to me in a while." After saying that, he turned around and went back to receive pilgrims.

Qi Xiaoyang sat in the middle of nowhere, carefully experiencing the slight increase in the induction, and forgot everything. "Little donor, it's almost time to fast!" Awakened by the voice of the thin Taoist, Qi Xiaoyang suddenly remembered that the promise to others had not been fulfilled, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Come, Brother Dao, I will donate incense money first." ”

The thin Taoist priest originally thought that Qi Xiaoyang was a half-old child, dressed ordinarily, and said that if he donated more, it would be one hundred and two hundred at most, but he didn't expect that this little guy counted one thousand in his wallet, leaving only two, and the remaining eight hundred were all donated. The smile on the thin Taoist priest's face was even more: "Little donor, if you need to eat for a while, I'll take you there, and tell me if you want tea or something."

Qi Xiaoyang was used to being poor, and he wouldn't be so generous in this regard, but he estimated that he would have to fight a protracted battle here, and he was afraid that this Taoist priest would be embarrassed, so he generously donated eight hundred, in fact, there was a pain in his heart!

After eating a high-priced meal of 800 yuan, Qi Xiaoyang continued to sit until dinner time in the afternoon before returning to the hotel. Today's harvest is much bigger, and that feeling has become real, which makes him happy and full of anticipation. After answering two phone calls in the evening, Tian Tian and Jiang Mengyao invariably cared about this prodigal son who was wandering outside today.

The next day, the Taoist priest who received the pilgrims was replaced, and a big Taoist priest with a somewhat vicious face was not so easy to talk and drove Qi Xiaoyang out. Qi Xiaoyang went to the cash machine in the town to withdraw some cash, and got a red envelope of two hundred for this big Taoist priest, so that the relationship was improved and he was allowed to continue to stay in the Sanqing Palace. When Qi Xiaoyang returned to the hotel, he insisted on meditating like the portrait for an hour, and although he didn't see any effect, he still didn't give up.

After three days, the intensification of that induction became less and less, and by the fifth day it stopped completely. Qi Xiaoyang made a small conclusion that night, guessing that this thing was absorbing the so-called "wish power" in the Taoist temple, and the more he absorbed, the stronger his induction became; after a few days, it may be that the accumulated wish power of the Xuanyu Temple has been absorbed, so the induction has stopped increasing. On the basis of this speculation, Qi Xiaoyang's wandering journey has a clear direction - to go to temples and Taoist temples.

After a search on the Internet, Qi Xiaoyang drew a road map, starting from the Xuanyu Temple, and turning eastward according to the concentration of the temple view. In the next ten days, Qi Xiaoyang walked all over the large and small Taoist temples and temples in the Daheng Mountain area, and summed up a rule: the more incense is strong, the better the effect, and the less popular the place, it is completely useless, and if you don't absorb that kind of "wishing power" for a few days, the induction of the small round card will show signs of attenuation. Qi Xiaoyang adjusted his travel plan, gave up walking, chose transportation according to the convenience of the target location, and only picked up the famous temples.

Three months later, Qi Xiaoyang had already traveled to half of the well-known Sanjiao resorts in China, and the feeling with the small round card became stronger and stronger, as if something was about to come out, but the meditative posture persisted for more than three months, and it was still a blind man lighting the lamp - in vain.

It was almost late autumn, Qi Xiaoyang turned south, and this time he chose to take a plane from Donghai City to Xiajiang. I haven't been to the sky since I grew so big, so I just experienced the feeling of soaring into the blue sky. Fortunately, Qi Xiaoyang came early, and under the guidance of the staff, he went to the airport police station to report the ID number in the household registration book, and got a temporary identity certificate, so that he could get the boarding pass. When passing through the security check, the small medallion almost caused trouble, this little thing made the detector in the hands of the security personnel scream, so Qi Xiaoyang took it down and studied it carefully for a long time, asked a lot of questions, and finally saw that Qi Xiaoyang was a student, so he didn't go deeper. Qi Xiaoyang secretly said in his heart, it seems that the plane will not be able to sit in the future, once this thing is confiscated, all the effort spent in front will be in vain.

The plane roared through the clouds and rushed into the blue sky, and the fresh vision that he had never experienced made Qi Xiaoyang look at the sea of clouds outside the porthole. His seat was in the middle, and by the window was a middle-aged woman in her forties, dressed luxuriously, and Qi Xiaoyang's movements made her very impatient, as if her head and neck reaching for the porthole had violated her airspace. "Wow", the woman pulled down the visor with a look of disdain, blocking Qi Xiaoyang's view.

Qi Xiaoyang's heart was full of anger, what kind of person is this! His lips moved, but he still endured the words in his mouth, not wanting to completely ruin the beautiful journey of going to heaven for the first time for this little thing, so he leaned his head on the backrest and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Sir, may I ask what you need?" The gentle voice of the stewardess came, making Qi Xiaoyang open his eyes, look at the things on the small cart, and point to the glass jar containing orange juice and ask, "How much is this for a cup?" He was afraid that the things on the plane would be too expensive, and they would arrive in more than an hour, so if they were expensive, they wouldn't want it.

The middle-aged uncle and stewardess next to him all laughed, and the lady by the window gave a low disdainful "Tu Baozi!", although the voice was small, it still clearly penetrated Qi Xiaoyang's ears.

"Sir, the drinks and tea on board are provided free of charge. The stewardess explained with a smile, poured a glass of orange juice and handed it over, Qi Xiaoyang took it, and opened the small table like the uncle next to him and put it away.

"Is it the first time for the little brother to fly?" the uncle asked kindly.

"Yes, Uncle makes you laugh. Qi Xiaoyang replied embarrassedly.

The uncle intended to help him resolve the embarrassment: "What's this, when I was your age, I only saw planes flying from the sky, little brother, don't care, when you reach our age, maybe you are on your own plane, hehe!"

"Thank you, uncle, I don't care, everything is learned, just like talking, everyone is not born to learn, some need to learn for a few years, but some can't learn half a lifetime!" Qi Xiaoyang responded with a smile.

The middle-aged uncle shook his eyes and secretly gave a thumbs up: "Young man, hehe" The woman's face on the side was red and white, but she couldn't have a seizure.

Qi Xiaoyang was angry, his heart was balanced, he no longer continued to provoke the woman, chatted with the uncle without a match, and soon arrived at Xiajiang Airport. had no intention of staying in the city, Qi Xiaoyang went to the station and directly transferred to the long-distance bus to Jianshan.

It is one of the eight peaks of China, more than 100 kilometers away from Xiajiang, the Taiyu Temple on the mountain is known as the first temple in China, has a long history, is well protected, and is a famous Buddhist holy place. It was almost dusk when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, and when Qi Xiaoyang found a hotel near the Taiyu Temple, ate and settled down, it was already the rising moon, although the time was a little late, he couldn't help but walk towards the magnificent temple gate.

Taiyu Temple is worthy of the title of the first temple in China, this time is not the scene of Qi Xiaoyang's imagination, and there are many tourists roaming among the temples. Qi Xiaoyang walked around the first hall for a while, feeling not very good, and when he walked to the second major hall, a stronger sense appeared than ever!
