The statue of the minotaur is preceded by a copper incense burner with a diameter of one and a half meters. At this moment, half of the incense ash in the incense burner is already there, and there are three finger-thick incense sticks in the middle, and the smoke of birds and birds is wafting.

The smell of incense wafts through the hall. But among them, he also smelled a hint of other scents.

Because he had seen it, Zhu Yu was not surprised.

"This is the idol of God, and you are ......."

Wang Wei said a word, looking at Zhu Yu and Ran Jie.

朱羽 says:

"Then I'll come first."

Wang Wei's mind is very simple, you come here to pray for blessings, so let's start. We're in a hurry.

"Although I believe in Buddhism, I have to say that this minotaur is quite spiritual once in a while." The old monk said suddenly, "Those who came from the village to make a wish, some small things are really effective. It's just a big deal."

"It may be a small place, and the incense is not abundant, so this god doesn't have that much mana." After Zhu Yu finished lighting the incense, he said jokingly.

"Is that the case?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu's joke made Hongyuan frown and look down to think about something.

After Ran Jie lit the incense and recited a few words silently, he also inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Then he continued:

"Of course there is. If those gods and Buddhas have a large number of believers, their mana will naturally be wide. For example, why Guanyin Bodhisattva is more powerful than other bodhisattvas is because she has many beliefs and incense is prosperous!"

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying this.

The Internet kills people, after all, now some of the smallest land gods on the Internet have begun to explain, absorbing a few wisps of incense a day and calculating it for you, so that it is still misleading to many people.

"Can that still be counted?"

"Of course. This bull-headed god is no matter how good it is, and the most he can accept is the incense in your village. How many people can there be in your village?"

"No matter how powerful the Jade Emperor is, if he is put into a small village to be used as land, he can only slowly become a real land, after all, there are so many people who worship him, how much divine power can he accumulate?"

was stirred up by Zhu Yu and Ran Jie like this, and the old monk's heart was disturbed.

The old monk stayed in this temple all his life, and his mind was extremely pure. I don't even bother to study such complicated matters.

Of course, it is impossible to have such a big brain to think about these things.

But he underestimated the brains of those who wrote about it, and the huge worldview that was constructed for the sake of logical self-consistency.

Think about it, someone actually edited 206 entries, revised 4,800 times, and wrote millions of words of information for his own reasonable silver mine reason, and in ten years, no one found his problem!

What's even funnier is that many people cite these terms when writing papers or compiling materials!

Think about how big this person's brain hole can be!

It's amazing to fold hair!

Just looking at the one he wrote about the several wars he fought for this Kashin silver mine is enough for a professional to study for a while.

Turning back, because of this, when Zhu Yu and Ran Jie threw out the system built by Internet writers about the number of incense to discuss the ability of gods and Buddhas, Master Hongyuan was stunned.

Can it be said that way?

If that's the case, then the bull-headed god is not very effective, and it really makes sense!

Seeing that Master Hongyuan nodded and shook his head for a while, Wang Wei was a little worried, and she gently touched Ran Jie:

"It's not good for you to fool the old monk like this, right?"

"What's not so good?" Ran Jie glanced at her, "We're right. This is also a possibility in itself! Judging from our history, aren't those gods and Buddhas also many believers?"

Wang Wei opened her mouth, wanting to justify, isn't it because he has a lot of good faith?

But thinking about it, this is the relationship between chickens and eggs, and there is no way to argue.

Let him be.

"Both

The donor's words have given me a little understanding, please go to the backyard meditation room to talk about it!"

The old monk was very polite, and his speech was not so casual.

Before Zhu Yu agreed, Wang Wei was a little anxious.

I don't want to do that!

She was planned, after visiting the family temple today, she rushed back before it was dark, and arrived in Kumamoto Prefecture after dark, and she and her boyfriend will have activities tomorrow!

This old monk wants to invite someone over to talk, who knows how long to talk?

Isn't that a disrupted plan?

"Miss Yazi, you can walk around the temple, but don't worry, I will entertain the two gentlemen." The old monk remembered Wang Wei and said again, "But you can't walk around in the temple, some places are not safe."

As soon as he said this, what Wang Wei wanted to say was put aside.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie couldn't wait to communicate more with the old monk to play the game, spend some time, and wait until the evening to act.

The old monk's meditation room is also very simple, it is an earthen kang with a kang table on it. The inner room was the kitchen, and the old monk invited Zhu Yu and Ran Jie to the kang table, then poured tea, and began to ask about the incense.

In fact, Zhu Yu can also see that the old monk is not stupid, but he just regards the theory that Zhu Yu Ranjie said as a possible research direction.

No matter what religion or school of theory, its theories are constantly improving and evolving themselves, otherwise they will naturally disappear in the long river of history.

And many theories that may have disappeared may have flourished after giving rise to new branches in them.

The more widely it spreads, the more far-reaching its impact will be, which is similar to the incense theory mentioned by Zhu Yuranjie.

Think about the mythological system of China, what has become of it among ordinary people now?

Many people still think that the priesthood system recorded in Journey to the West is orthodox.

And the priesthood in Journey to the West has some similarities with the priesthood in the Romance of the Gods, why? Because the two are written with references.

And Journey to the West itself was also formed by collecting information step by step from the Tang Dynasty and summarizing many miscellaneous scripts.

The priesthood system itself was only written by the author based on the records of previous ancient books and his own imagination.

But because of its wide spread, it has almost become the standard of Chinese priesthood in the minds of many ordinary people.

The same is true of the Romance of the Gods.

And many modern young people are more inclined to the set of flood system summarized in online articles for the myths and legends of ancient China, and even take this as the standard of the Chinese god system.

But who knows? Perhaps because the online article is more widely disseminated, tens or hundreds of years later, ordinary people may use this system as the standard.

According to some people, there are several signs of death, physical death, spiritual death, disappearance of imprints, and so on.

It's similar to this one.

So why did some people in ancient times say that if you can't leave a fragrance for thousands of years, then you will leave a stench for 10,000 years!

Why? It's just that I want to leave a mark in history.

Zhu Yu, who had long figured out this, chatted with the old monk and was much more energetic.

The old monk studied Buddhism, and his basic skills were quite solid.

But Zhu Yu was a college student during the information explosion. I may not have studied much, but if I want to say that I have seen, heard, and understood, it is really a lot.

He's not fine, but he's Bo!

This comes and goes, and there is no end to chatting.

Although Zhu Yu couldn't understand why this ambition spoke Chinese so well, he knew that this old monk was really proficient in Buddhism.

Being able to talk back and forth with him also accounts for the benefits of modern college students' wide information reception.

Otherwise, three or two sentences will have to be blocked.

Ran Jie was also very surprised when he listened to it on the side, but he didn't expect his own boss to be so able to fool him, and the old monk was not left behind at all!

Wang Wei stayed outside and came over from time to time to take a look and looked at Zhu Yu

I didn't break the conversation with the old monk, and it was not easy to disturb.

Before you knew it, it was getting dark.

"Alright, that's all for today." The old monk Hong was willing to stop talking, "You wait, I'll let them bring food, I think you're hungry too."

"And you'll eat with us?" Zhu Yu asked.

"No, no, no, I learn from the ancients and pay attention to not eating at lunch."

It's good, no wonder the fairy wind bones.

To Zhu Yu's surprise, there was a phone in the old monk's meditation room, he picked it up and dialed a number, said a few words, and then put it down.

"The conditions in the village are relatively simple, but the food is very clean."

"Thank you." Zhu Yu nodded in thanks. But what is this old monk doing, at least this intention should be true.

[In view of the general environment,

Of course, this did not affect his heart to take those things.

Didn't the old man say: "The Chinese people and the Japanese people are the same, and there is only one enemy, that is, Japanese imperialism and the national scum of China."

Those things were taken away from China by Japanese imperialism, and naturally they wanted to return to the motherland.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps in the front yard, and the old monk said with a smile:

"It's coming, it's coming."

Sure enough, two middle-aged peasant women hurriedly walked over with food boxes.

They said a few words to the old monk, then bowed and turned to leave.

It is said to be a food box, but in fact, it is an old-fashioned wooden suitcase, which is quite bulky.

"Alright, you eat, I'll close the door to the front yard."

The old monk said a word, turned on the light, and then walked to the front yard, and when he passed by Wang Wei's side, he said, "Miss Yazi, you can also go over and eat."

The two food boxes contain stir-fried vegetables, fried fish, scrambled eggs, rice balls, and natto.

Smelling good, Zhu Yu and the others put the food on the kang table and beckoned Wang Wei to eat together.

Although Wang Wei was a little displeased, this matter was not something she could be sure of, and now that it had reached this point, it was useless to say more.

All three of them were hungry, and the aroma of the food itself moved their index fingers, and soon they wiped out these things like a storm.

When the old monk turned back, the three of them had already cleaned up the food box and put it aside.

"It's good to be young!"

The old monk sighed, and then arranged a place for Zhu Yu and them to live.

The bungalow is really a warehouse grocery room, but fortunately, there are two renovated guest rooms now, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie live in one, and Wang Wei lives in one.

"It's quiet and safe at night, you can rest assured." The old monk gave a word of advice and went to rest.

After a while, they heard the sound of the old monk chanting.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie glanced at each other, and they were both happy.

That's what a chance you have!

However, both of them are very sober, and this kind of thing must not be done in the first half of the night, so they can only wait until the second half of the night.

Of course, it would be better if you could stay one more night and know the old monk's schedule and how long he slept at night.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

And then, Ran Jie also opened his eyes.

They heard voices outside.

The barking of dogs in the village, the sound of the main hall.

The door of the old monk next to him opened.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie immediately got up and opened the door.

"Someone broke in outside, pay attention to safety, I'll go and take a look......

What the old monk said, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were embarrassed, they couldn't do this kind of thing.

The old man is charging ahead, and the young man is hiding behind?

Even though this product is a Japanese national.

After all, the things in the hall Zhu Yu have been

It's in the bag.

How can you let others snoop at will?

Then Zhu Yu and the others hurriedly followed the old monk to the main hall.

In the main hall, there are already four people standing, and these four people are currently in groups of two and two, prying the door of the side hall.

Probably because they didn't want to alarm other people, they were still very restrained in their pry on the door.

It's just that I didn't expect this door to be too strong, and the lock is also an old-fashioned solid lock, which is too difficult to pick.

Then they were discovered by Zhu Yu and them.

Looking at the four people wearing hoods, Zhu Yu smiled dumbly.

One of them can be seen wearing glasses, even with a hood.

Isn't this the same as those people during the day?

There was one more, Zhu Yu guessed that it might be the driver during the day, and he didn't show up.

The old monk also saw the way of several people by the light of the candles in the main hall, and immediately reprimanded.

At first, the man in black was still arguing something, but later he was annoyed and angry by the old monk, and the man with glasses became angry, threw off his hood, showed his face very simply, and scolded the old monk by pointing at him.

"I didn't expect ......."

I don't know when, Wang Wei came to Zhu Yu's side, and when she heard the man's words, she couldn't help but say a word.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yu asked.

"It's a little complicated." Wang Wei hesitated, but still translated:

"The man with glasses said he was from the Tanaka family, and that he should own the stuff in it. The old monk meant that the people of the Tanaka family were long gone. Everything is from the temple.

The man with glasses said that his aunt married the last generation of the head of the family in Tanaka, so he had the right to inherit. The people of the Tanaka family are dead, but he is not dead, so these things should be his.

The old monk said that he was not surnamed Tanaka and did not deserve to inherit these things, and besides, there was nothing to inherit.

The man with glasses said that he could change his surname to Tanaka. He also asked the old monk not to play tricks, saying that he had long known from his aunt that there were some antiques from China hidden in this temple.

The old monk didn't admit it, and the man with glasses said that the old monk wanted to swallow these things alone......

What a show.

At this moment, the men pulled out their weapons.

Daggers, short knives.

Zhu Yu pursed his lips, these people's style of doing things was also a little rougher.

This weapon is a bit inferior!

If you play like this, you won't be interested!

When the old monk saw that some people were about to make a move, he hurriedly retreated, shouting something in his mouth.

Wang Wei quickly translated while hiding behind Ran Jie:

"The man with glasses said that he would do it if he didn't hand over the key, and the old monk meant that we were guests, and this matter had nothing to do with us, so let him not hurt us......

"Okay, it's quite conscientious." Zhu Yu motioned to Ran Jie to protect Wang Wei, and he wanted to step forward to weigh the quality of these goods.

Ran Jie obviously disagreed, and was about to take a step forward, when suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Then I saw more than a dozen people with hoes and sticks and the like, and they broke in from outside the gate and ran towards the main hall with a fierce momentum!

The men in black were dumbfounded.

When they reacted and wanted to run, they were already blocked by Ran Jie and Zhu Yu.

"Down with them!" Wang Wei was still translating, obviously this was what the old monk had just said.

Most of these dozen people are middle-aged and elderly, but they are better at doing farm work all year round, and they all have a lot of strength.

In their opinion, the old monk's words were orders, and they simply threw their sticks and smashed them at these black-clothed people without a head or face.

"Don't hurt the two young people and that girl...... Wang Wei is very dedicated, and she is still translating at this time, "They are good people......

The short knife of the man in black was like a toy in front of a long stick, and even if one of the bodyguards was trained, his fists were no match for four hands.

He took down a peasant after parrying, and then was given three sticks

Hit the arm and calf, the short knife was knocked away, and the person fell directly to the ground.

In less than a minute, all four people were knocked to the ground, none of them all screamed, all of them were injured.

Zhu Yu could see that these people didn't take it lightly, and basically didn't leave any hands.

After putting the person down, the old monk said a few words loudly, Wang Wei put her mind at ease this time and continued to translate softly:

"Thank you for coming over and helping. Now tie them up, gag them, and when tomorrow dawn comes, take them to the town and hand them over to the police."

The peasants bowed to the old monk one after another, then pulled out the rope from behind their waists, tied up the four people, and dragged them away.

"Alright, now let's go back and rest, and let you laugh." The old monk watched the peasants take people away, closed the courtyard door, and said to Zhu Yu and them.

"I didn't laugh, I didn't expect to see such a wonderful show here." Zhu Yu smiled and said, "The master has a high prestige among the villagers!"

"The main thing is that the bull-headed god in this temple is still a little effective, and besides, I also know a little bit of medical skills...... Learn from the book. I can cure a simple disease for the people in the village, so everyone believes in me."

The old monk did not hide it at all, and said:

"The medical books I studied were obtained from your Huaxia, Chinese medicine. By the way, it's called Kampo medicine now?

Actually, I think it's better to call it Chinese medicine. Where it came from is where it comes from, and there is no need to change it for some ulterior purpose. Besides, what's the use of changing your name? Everybody understands what this Chinese medicine is all about."

This is a man who understands!

Zhu Yu smiled.

Of course, the old monk is a person who understands and does not affect himself to take what he should have.

On the contrary, it made him more sure of the importance of these things.

Old monks can learn medical skills from it, so I'm afraid there are a lot of good things here!
