Zhao Yuerong is a little girl from the Ming Dynasty.

Still semi-literate.

She used to be purely illiterate, but Xia Yuan taught her to recognize some simple words, and now she is semi-literate.

That old man is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, such an outrageous thing, but any normal modern person would not believe it.

But she believed, and she believed it.

It has nothing to do with whether she is semi-literate or not, and it has little to do with how stupid she is.

The main reason is that the wisdom of the people has not been opened in these years, and even the rulers have proclaimed that they are the divine authority of the monarch and hunt for the herdsmen on behalf of the heavens, so it is difficult for you to ask the people to be sober in the world.

Everyone is basically superstitious.

And Zhao Yuerong is also a little superstitious.

As a superstitious person, it is nothing to believe in the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, and it is nothing to believe that this so-called Bodhisattva can cure a sick chicken, after all, it is not excluded that the old man secretly has the identity of a veterinarian.

Bodhisattva reincarnation and veterinarian don't conflict, right?

But you believe that he can bring a dead chicken back to life, which is a bit difficult for the old man.

As far as Xia Yuan knows, throughout the history of China, those who use feudal superstition to deceive have magical talismans that claim to be able to cure all diseases, melon-eating people who use various physical phenomena to fool the unknown truth, and what fox calls in the middle of the night, shouting Chen Shengwang, Da Chuxing and the like.

But no one is stupid enough to say that they can come back to life.

Therefore, Xia Yuan didn't say anything about how stupid you are, or something that definitely can't be saved, but fanned the flames and said, "Then you go and talk to that old Bodhisattva and ask him to help us revive the dead chicken." ”

"Not now, there are people begging for the Bodhisattva in front of me."

At this time, there was indeed a man dressed as a farmer who was begging the Bodhisattva, saying that he had been feeling weak lately, his shoulders were sore, and his neck was uncomfortable, as if he was being pressed by some heavy object.

The old man closed his eyes and muttered for a while, as if sensing something, then opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted: "Bold and evil, I still dare to be presumptuous in front of this seat, and I don't want to go quickly!" ”

This loud shout frightened the farmer to take a few steps back, and said tremblingly: "Grandpa Bodhisattva, I'm not an evil, I'm not an evil..."

"The family teacher is not talking about you, but about the evil in you." A young man next to the old man helped explain.

"Me, the evil in me? Doesn't that mean ...."

"Yes, you are entangled in evil spirits."

"Huh?"

The farmer was so shocked when he heard that he even trembled his body, and he played a good role as a little common man who felt scared and panicked after learning that he had been ghosted.

The melon-eating crowd present also shouted one after another.

"Hmph, toast and don't eat and drink." The old man snorted coldly, and said to everyone present: "I have always been merciful, and I will never attack those lonely souls and wild ghosts, after all, they are also very pitiful, but this benefactor is haunted by evil, and I have to take care of whatever I say." ”

"Please step back, the master is going to cast a spell." At this time, several people next to the old man stood up and beckoned everyone to step back.

Zhao Yuerong's excited little face turned red, and she kept pulling Xia Yuan's sleeve, "Husband, husband, look, the Bodhisattva is going to cast a spell!" ”

"Look, look." Xia Yuan looked helpless, stretched his hand out of his sleeve, grabbed her restless little hand, and then held it in his hand, "Okay, don't pull my sleeve now." ”

The old man didn't rush to cast the spell, but sighed regretfully, and continued with a look of pity: "I thought I could persuade it, but I didn't expect to use this body of strength to kill it with all my might, and it really hurts the heavens and the peace." ”

With that, he picked up the peachwood sword on the table, pulled up a piece of yellow paper on the table with his hand, wiped it on the tip of the sword, and then used the peachwood sword to wrap it around the incense burner, and then waved it vigorously, and the tip of the peachwood sword pointed directly at the farmer.

And at this moment, the tip of the sword was brushed on fire for no reason.

Ooh!

The onlookers' eyes widened, and they were so frightened by the tongue of fire that they retreated.

It's shocking.

After the shock, several people directly knelt down, shouting in their mouths: "The Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared!" ”

Xia Yuan was also stunned, and said Okay Bodhisattva, how can this become more and more like a Taoist priest?

I'm afraid it's not the White Lotus Sect?

Suddenly, such a speculation came to mind, only the famous White Lotus Sect in history would be like this, a Bodhisattva and a Taoist, looking nondescript.

Of course, in addition to the nondescript characteristic, there is a more striking feature of this religion.

That is, as a great religion, and even the first major religion throughout the ages, their operations are always incomprehensible, as if they are more or less seriously ill.

During the Mengyuan Dynasty, these people opposed the Yuan Dynasty and restored the Song Dynasty, during the Ming Dynasty, these people opposed the Ming Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and during the Manchu Dynasty, they began to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Isn't this nonsense?

It's like an addiction to rebellion.

With this kind of commotion, people always wonder if there is something wrong with their teachings, or if they are worshipping the wrong God?

But it's a pity that they are the Eight Classics of Mida, which enshrine the Three Sages of Mida, Amitabha, Guanyin, and the Great Trend Bodhisattva.

The doctrine is also simple, and there is absolutely no content to persuade people to rebel, which is basically the set of Buddhism, which is summarized in one sentence and persuades people to be good.

Moreover, compared to Buddhism, they do not require their followers to shave their heads, eat vegetarian food, and wear monk's robes.

And now in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has been sparing no effort to suppress this sect, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and in order to reduce the number of dead people, the White Lotus Sect has been simplified into complex, and began to spread out branches and leaves, and has made a number of sub-sects, which have different names and different doctrines.

What is the Golden Cicada Sect, the Wuwei Sect, the Yuan Sect, the Sanyang Sect, the Pure Space Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, the Hongyang Sect.... That's it, there are still those who can be called, and those who can't be ranked are even more.

Take a closer look at the names of these sects, Jin Cicada, the clear space is obviously from Buddhism, and the return of the yuan, the designation of Wuwei has something to do with Taoism.

These separate teachings are connected to each other, and the doctrines and beliefs are mixed with each other, so they are both bodhisattvas and Taoists.

Of course, there are benefits to having too many beliefs.

Come, let's join the church, what? Isn't it just right that you say you believe, and we believe it.

What? You also say that you believe in Buddhism, isn't it a coincidence, we also believe it.

"Husband, husband...."

A light call brought Xia Yuan back to his senses, and he turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yuerong looked at those who knelt down and bowed, and whispered, "Husband, let's also kneel down and worship?" ”

"There is no need to worship, the Bodhisattva is respected in his heart, and there is no need to engage in these formalisms." Xia Yuan's face was solemn, and what he said was as if it was true, "The so-called sincerity is spiritual, understand?" ”

"Oh...."

Zhao Yuerong nodded, although there were not many opportunities to see the Bodhisattva, she also wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but her husband said so, that must be right.

And sincerity is spiritual.

It makes sense.

Is it okay for you to make a wish now?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes and began to murmur in a whisper: "Bless your husband to be admitted to the top prize, bless your husband to be healthy, live a long life, bless your husband...."

Thinking of this, she quietly opened her eyes and glanced at Xia Yuan, closed her eyes with a slightly red face, and added in her heart, bless her husband to have a cave room with her as soon as possible, and then give her husband a few children.

After the wish was made, Zhao Yuerong opened his eyes, and was inexplicably a little distressed.

I have a lot of wishes, will the Bodhisattva dislike myself for being greedy when I hear it?
