Chapter Seventy-One: Yue Lao Temple, Marriage Sign

Wanqiu left the house, feeling a little empty.

However, he promised Xiaodouding's temple fair to play, but he couldn't break his promise.

In the family, Chen Qing rented a few acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing, so as not to be idle, but to get sick; The aunt is still in charge of the daily life of the family, just like when she was in Qingyang County.

Jiang Yuan cooperated with her aunt to manage the family, but her mother couldn't fit in, and even her younger brother was a little estranged. So they didn't live with Chen Liu and them, it was a rented house.

Xiaodouding and Nie Xiaoxiao naturally have fun every day and are unrestrained.

Chen Shenyan is not much different from them, but he is extremely lazy. In addition to the daily poisonous tongue, most of the time is nested in the small pavilion in the courtyard, fiddling with the novels she picked up from outside.

"Ready? It's time to go. ”

Chen Liu was optimistic about the time, prepared early, and changed into a clean and capable jet-black dress, a lupine scarf, and the appearance of a rich and noble son.

He pressed down Xiao Douding and Nie Xiaoxiao, who couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Yuan took the bamboo flute that Chen Liu gave her when he pretended to be a mask man that day, wearing a blue-green dress, white inside and blue outside, with light makeup, and red lips, which was very good-looking.

Shen Yan was willing to go out and refused to change her clothes, she was still dressed in her original red dress, and her long and smooth hair poured down wantonly.

Chen Liu did not leave anyone behind, including Jiang Yuan's mother and younger brother, who were also invited to the street.

……

The temple fair in the west of the city is a common time for amusement in the capital, which often starts in the afternoon and lasts until the end of the night.

The temple fair surrounds a lake in the capital, called Daming Lake.

The lake is surrounded by many shops and vendors, selling all kinds of goods, especially food from all over the world.

In the middle of Daming Lake, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, and there is a temple on it, called Banzen Temple.

This semi-Zen temple is not exclusive to Buddhism, but the coexistence of Buddhist monks, and there is a taste of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

The gods and Buddhas enshrined in it are also Taoists and Buddhas.

Of course, the most popular among the people are the God of Wealth and the Old Man under the Moon.

Of course, everyone worships the God of Wealth, after all, no one minds that they are richer.

The old man under the moon, that is, the old moon god who is in charge of marriage in the world, is more of a place where young men and women can not kneel for a long time when they are looking for a future partner.

The marriage sign obtained in the old ancestral hall this month is also quite effective.

When Chen Liu and his entourage came here, the temple fair had already begun for a long time.

As soon as they arrived, they attracted the attention of many people.

After all, even if Chen Shenyan is unkempt, his natural charm temperament has also made countless men and women feel intoxicated.

Jiang Yuan will have less temperament, but more youthful and energetic.

The aunt is also charming, and the red fruit also has a different flavor.

"It's like a configuration to be provoked."

Chen Liu naturally complained.

But since this hasn't happened yet, let's have fun.

The purpose of his coming today is to build a family team and connect with feelings, and the second is to go to the Yuelao Temple to try Ning Wuchen's sincerity.

Temple fairs to play, naturally do not need to gather in one place.

Chen Liu brought enough money and change and distributed it to everyone early.

After the aunt took the money, she naturally had to take care of the two children with her husband, and by the way, she could also communicate with Jiang Yuan's family to communicate her feelings.

The uncle and aunt have already understood that their nephew is not shallow.

But what can really be determined is this Jiang Yuan girl.

As Chen Liu's elders, the two of them naturally have to worry about their affairs.

"Well, you have too."

Chen Liu also prepared several small pockets, which were given to Xiaodouding, Nie Xiaoxiao, and Jiang Chen, which contained dozens of copper plates.

Children can't give too much, but they don't need to leave any money to adults to take care of.

Chen Liu was deeply affected by the matter of New Year's money.

Adults will be in charge and there will be no more.

Although most adults take the money back as a gift, children don't understand it and will only think that adults have cheated them out of their money.

The two girls naturally took it, and the boy was still a little shy.

Chen Liu immediately stuffed it into his hand and said:

"It's all a family, why are you so polite? I've called my brother-in-law, but you're my brother-in-law. ”

Jiang Chen looked at his sister, and finally nodded vigorously.

Jiang Yuan didn't actually expect this thing, she felt that maybe only Sister Wanqiu was a good match for Chen Liu.

However, these words still moved her very much, especially when Chen Liu held her hand, her heartbeat couldn't help but increase a lot faster.

Eventually, a few adults and a few children dispersed to play.

Of course, Chen Liu accompanied Chen Shenyan and Jiang Yuan to the small island in the middle of the lake, Banzen Temple.

……

There are not many people on the small island in the middle of the lake for the time being, except for the temple gate of the God of Wealth, which can't stop the believers.

The rest of the gods such as Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Sending Child, the Old Man under the Moon, and the Birthday Star Lord either correspond to a special time or are special for believers; Others, like those who go to the old moon to seek marriage, men and women are thin-skinned and reserved, and prefer to come at night to ask for a lot.

couldn't stand the urging of Xiaodouding, Chen Liu and the others came very early.

In fact, there is probably more than an hour left, which is the real heyday of the temple fair.

At that time, there will not only be dragon and lion dances and various performances, but also the small island in the middle of the lake will be lit up with fireworks, and even some princes and nobles, talented and beautiful people will come here to enjoy the moon and scenery.

"We're going to the Yuelao Temple, it's said to be very effective. Do you two want to ask for a signature? ”

Chen Liu's suggestion, Jiang Yuan naturally adopted it immediately.

She wants peace of mind, she doesn't have to have any reputation, and she doesn't need to be a couple for the rest of her life.

She just wants to stay together and accompany her silently.

Chen Shenyan could see Chen Liu's thoughts at a glance, and his image in his heart was also raised a lot.

Although he is often cheap-mouthed and cheap-handed on weekdays, he really cares about the people around him.

Of course, her answer was:

"You two beg. I'm not going to join in the fun. ”

Chen Liu didn't force it, and nodded.

"Do you want to listen to the story?"

Before arriving at their destination, Chen Liu remembered a story and asked them if they wanted to hear it.

Jiang Yuan had some expectations, but Chen Shenyan was noncommittal and did not refuse.

"According to legend, the disciple of the Buddha, Ananda......"

"There is no Ananda among the disciples of the Buddha."

“…… You still don't listen! ”

"Listen to it, you say."

The atmosphere that was finally adjusted was destroyed by Shen Yan, and Chen Liu was directly a blank eye.

Fortunately, she didn't really take it seriously, so he straightened his mood and continued:

According to legend, Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, met a young girl on the road and fell in love with him ever since. The Buddha asked Ananda, how much do you like that girl? Ananda replied, "I would like to be incarnated as a stone bridge, and be blown by the wind for 500 years, the sun for 500 years, and the rain for 500 years." But beg the girl to walk over the bridge. ”

"Are they together, then?"

Chen Shenyan was thinking about the Buddhist precepts, while Jiang Yuan was looking forward to a happy ending.

In the end, the public case of Buddhism always falls into the Zen truth, but Chen Liu is reluctant to say that Ananda will return to the mountain gate after accepting the Buddha's teachings.

The Buddha granted Ananda's request and transformed him into a tree that the maiden would pass by in the morning and at sunset. His little anticipation turned into flowers on the tree. The girl seems to have sensed something, and she will rest under the tree every day in her spare time. The petals are floating all over the ground, and the two hearts do not come together, but they are so accompanied until the girl grows old and dies. ”

"That's right."

Jiang Yuan was a little disappointed, but he also understood a little.

After all, Ananda loves the girl, but the girl doesn't know, how can she force the girl to love Ananda?

But sometimes someone loves Ananda, but Ananda knows and loves her. After all, the encounter and acquaintance in this life have been in front of the Buddha for 500 years. ”

This is very clear, and Jiang Yuan also received it.

His hand gripped hers tightly, and her heart calmed down a lot.

Chen Shenyan also had to admit at this time that Chen Liu's level was indeed a bit high, and his words were indeed sultry.

How can a little girl like Jiang Yuan be able to defend herself?

"Here we are."

After the story was over, the three of them also arrived at the Yuelao Temple.

In the courtyard of the Yuelao Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient locust tree was planted.

The ancient tree did not grow straight, but was like a cloud cover, prostrate near the ground, growing lush branches. The branches are covered with red ropes fluttering in the wind, and on them are written the promises and names of the lovers.

"May there be lovers in the world who will eventually become married, and they will not miss the marriage if they make a decision in the previous life."

In the temple, there is a statue of the old moon god carved in colored sculpture stone, holding a cane in one hand and a marriage book in the other.

The incense of the old moon is very vigorous, and the smoke on the incense stand is particularly thick.

At this time, someone is shaking the stick, seeking marriage.

If you are willing to let someone help you untie the sign, you can hand the sign to the old Taoist on the side, but it takes a penny.

The hexagram is not empty, and the same is true for unsigning.

This is not greed for money, after all, if you want to, it is not impossible to pay for four or five or even more, and someone will still pay for it.

The reason why this money is needed is the rule set by the ancestors.

If a mortal wants to watch the sky, there must be something to exchange.

Although this money is small, it is a peep at the sky set up by King Wen when he set up gossip.

Money is stained with red dust, but it briefly belongs to someone, so it becomes a joint representative of the world and someone.

When the Heavenly Dao is exchanged, if you take the money, you will not lose your longevity, and those who tell the fortune and unsign will not suffer backlash.

Of course, all this just refers to the physiognomy that does not look deep and does not change the operation of heaven and earth.

People or things that can really affect the general trend of heaven and earth, as long as they look at it, will detract from yin virtue, good fortune and longevity, let alone interfere with their development.

Of course, if you don't want to unsign, remember the signature by yourself, solve it yourself, and bear the cause and effect yourself.

However, there will be gains and losses, and there will always be some price to pay at some point.

"Asking for one?"

The three of them entered the door, and it happened that there was a vacant seat in front of the statue.

Chen Liu took the sticker and handed it to Jiang Yuan, asking her to ask for one first, and then asking for it himself.

However, when Jiang Yuan knelt in front of the old man and begged for a sign, the old Taoist who had unsigned handed over the position of unsignage to the apprentice and walked over.

He confronted Chen and Liu, and then asked Chen Liu:

"This donor, is he asking for a sign?"

"Naturally, yes."

Chen Liu nodded, but the old Taoist shook his head.

"The donor's life is too strong, if you want to get a signature, it is really not something that can be solved here."

"What do you mean?"

"It probably means that you and the dog are not allowed to enter."

Chen Shenyan accosted.

However, although the old Taoist changed his words, he also smiled firmly and gently.

Chen Liu really can't ask for a signature or unsign here.
