Chapter 184: Life and Death Are Fateful
When Xiaojiazhuang was first built, Xiao Rui commanded the excavation of an underground fire channel network in the whole village to solve the problem of collective heating. At this time, coal was basically not developed and utilized, and Xiao Rui was the first in Chang'an to boldly use coal.
It's not that no one knows coal, this thing was called charcoal in ancient times, and it was different from artificially burned firewood charcoal, which the ancients thought was charcoal that looked like a stone. Some people have tried to use charcoal for heating, but unfortunately there are often accidents due to gas poisoning, so everyone generally believes that charcoal is poisonous, so gradually no one uses it.
Xiao Rui dared to use it, but he couldn't explain the principle to the villagers, so he could only speak with facts, and slowly was accepted and believed by the villagers, so everyone began to like Shitan.
Just after the New Year's Festival, it was the cold winter weather, and he didn't care about staying in Chang'an to watch the lanterns for the Lantern Festival, so Xiao Rui arranged Xiaojiazhuang with Zhang Luoren, and deliberately built a special operating room in a courtyard in the middle of the East, which was dust-free, windless, sterile, warm as spring and constant temperature, and could be said to be a room of the highest standard in Datang.
The location was specially selected by Yuan Tiangang, the east belongs to the wood, and the master is born. The day of the operation was chosen on the day of the beginning of spring, and the initial Vientiane of Yiyang was updated, whether it was useful or not, Xiao Rui didn't know, but it was always right to be auspicious.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a table of offerings, and Du Ruhui's two sons, Du Gou Duhe, kneel together and burn incense and pray to heaven to pray for their father.
"Dad, you must come out safely."
"Dad, I promise to work hard in the future, and I will never let you down, and you must survive this disaster."
Du Ruhui looked at his two sons, and said with resolute eyes: "Da Lang, Erlang, life and death are fateful, if you really can't live as a father, you have to live strongly." Remember, be an upright person, do not have evil thoughts, let alone take evil paths. β
The two nodded tearfully: "Yes, the child wrote it down." β
Xiao Rui looked at the green smoke in the incense burner, frowned and asked, "What kind of incense is burned?" The taste is curious. β
Du Gou replied: "It was me and my second brother who went to the Daxingshan Temple in Chang'an City and waited in a long queue for three days to ask for peace incense. β
Peace incense? Queue for three days? What the heck? Xiao Rui doesn't believe in Buddhism, doesn't worship Buddhism, and even rejects Buddhism to fool the world, so his brows are furrowed even deeper.
Xiao Yu believes in Buddhism, and praised with a smile: "Keming, you have two good sons. The peace incense of Daxingshan Temple, ten gold one, only one hundred people a day, it is said that it is the most effective, so the people who queue up to enter the incense and ask for incense are endless, and can wait for three days to come, which shows filial piety. β
Du Ruhui showed a relieved look in his eyes.
Xiao Rui secretly scolded in his heart, Zhente Niang is ruthless, selling a hundred people a day? Ten gold for one person? No, it's ten gold, and everyone buys at least three, which means it costs thirty gold. So the revenue of Daxingshan Temple in one day isγYes-3,000 gold?
Burst! Chang'an is really rich and has a lot of people, no wonder the imperial treasury is empty, it turns out that the real gold cave and gold swallowing beast are Buddhist temples? Your own chamber of commerce, restaurant or something, compare with others? Bah! Mao can't compare.
But he forgot that those who came to worship the Buddha in Daxingshan Temple were not only people from Chang'an, but also people from the entire Tang Dynasty, as long as they believed in Buddhism and had assets at home, they could come. Otherwise, with only one Chang'an City, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the daily income of Daxingshan Temple with 3,000 gold.
"Remove this incense, I don't know if it can keep you safe, but if it keeps burning, the fragrance will drift into the operating room, it will pollute the environment of the operating room, affect the treatment, and it will be absolutely fatal."
Well???
Everyone looked at Xiao Rui in surprise, this was too beautiful. The filial piety of other people's sons, how can you let it be withdrawn? What should I do if I withdraw the peace incense and offend the ghosts and gods, and God does not bless me?
Du He said anxiously: "No, the abbot of Daxingshan Temple said that you must burn incense and pray sincerely in front of your father." If you don't do it well, the Buddha won't bless you. β
Xiao Rui's face fell, and he said coldly: "If you believe me, then listen to me." If you believe in the bald old monk, then kowtow and burn incense here, and ask the Buddha to bless him and heal him. β
As he spoke, he turned around and went into the operating room.
This......
Du Ruhui didn't believe in this, he just couldn't bear his son's filial piety in vain. Although he didn't understand why Xiao Rui insisted on this, he still supported Xiao Rui, "Da Lang Erlang, listen to the master of the horse, withdraw the incense case!" β
Du Wei was anxious, "But...... If you offend the Buddha, what are your illnesses? β
Du Ruhui reprimanded: "Confused, if praying to God and worshiping Buddha can really bless the peace of the father, then the father should not get this disease." By burning incense, can I remove the malignant tumor in my body? β
This......
The two hesitated.
Xiao Yu believes in Buddhism, and when she heard Du Ruhui's words, she was about to refute it.
At this time, several veterans next to him stood up, who doesn't hate Buddhism? This operation was carried over by the people of our Daomen, what happened to a group of bald monks? If they are allowed to put the incense case here, then when we cure the patient, whose credit will be for that time? Half of the credit was shared by the monks?
Even without this surgery, the monastics would not like Buddhism. Hoover harmed.
Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth and asked: "Two sons, if you don't ask God to worship Buddha, then there is no hidden danger of offending God and Buddha." Ling Zun's illness depends entirely on man and his own life. β
Ge Dan snorted coldly and mocked: "It's better now, do you continue to worship or not?" What Buddha blesses? How? Was the Buddha a merchant who bought and sold? If you don't ask him, he won't bless you, and he will punish you? This bullshit fairy? Are the immortals of the Hu people so snobbish? Two, it's better to try to change to a fairy, our Taoist Sanqing Dao Ancestor, tolerant and generous, you can worship it or not, Sanqing is protecting our human race. β
This one......
In this comparison, it seems that the Buddha is a little stingy.
Sun Laodao opened his mouth and asked: "Two sons, if it is really just to help Ling Zun pray for blessings, it is better to worship the heavens." Heaven is selfless and the most fair. β
This can be regarded as a step to the impasse in front of him, but in fact, it is to calm the hearts of the two children in disguise, what impact does not affect the treatment, as long as Du Ruhui does not care.
Sun Simiao's virtue was highly respected, and his words were very credible, so Du Wei hurriedly asked: "What about this incense?" Can you pray to Heaven with this peace incense? β
Xiao Rui's dissatisfied voice came from the house: "No, I threw away the IQ tax you bought with thirty gold." If you want to ask for God's protection, use wormwood today. Pinch the grass for incense and pray to heaven. β
Ge Dan praised: "Wonderful, wormwood is a pure yang thing, and it is the best way to drive away evil spirits." β
So Du Gou and the two put away the peace incense suspiciously, found wormwood and began to rub the incense and burn the sacrifice. Xiao Yu finally endured the grievances in her heart, thinking that when her son rescued people, she would find time to popularize the great virtues of the Buddha with him.
