Chapter 322: A Pair of Red Ropes
The temple fair itself is also a kind of sacrificial activity, which does not end in one day, and is generally held for three to five days.
And the temple fair attracts not only local people, but also other places that are closer to each other, not to mention the temple fair of the City God Temple.
Lord Chenghuang is the guardian god, many people will be incense at the temple fair, if the wish is fulfilled in the next year, the next year will also go to the corresponding temple to make a vow.
Chao Li and Gu Hanzhang didn't believe in these too much, they just came to play, so naturally they still had to enter the City God Temple to put incense on the pillars.
At this time, it was already night, and the lights inside the City God Temple were bright, and the fragrance of incense and candles was wafting around.
The City God Temple includes the Huoguang Palace, the Jiazi Palace, the God of Wealth Temple, the Cihang Palace, the City God Palace, the Niangniang Hall and other halls, and it is also very famous in the whole Haicheng.
Unlike the Hanye Temple, it doesn't look so serious here, after all, the Hanye Temple is dedicated to the Buddha.
Next to the temple of the city god, there is also a huge plane tree, which is hundreds of years old, with a thick trunk and lush branches.
A stall was set up under the plane tree, and there was a gossip mirror on the stall, and an old Taoist priest in a Taoist robe sat behind the table.
The old Taoist priest closed his eyes, leisurely crossed Erlang's legs, and muttered in his mouth that he didn't know what he was thinking, but for a while, he didn't see a person come to him to tell his fortune, I don't know if he really has the ability, or if he is fooling people here.
"Ma'am, let's go in." Gu Hanzhang spoke.
The two had already walked to the gate of the City God Temple, but Chao Li stopped to look at the old Taoist priest.
Gu Hanzhang was a little puzzled, so he reminded him that he didn't take the old Taoist priest in his eyes.
Chao Li retracted his gaze, nodded, and stepped into the City God Temple with Gu Hanzhang.
"Huh? Two nobles, please wait. ”
The old Taoist priest suddenly said to Gu Hanzhang and Chao Li, at this time he had already opened his eyes, and if he looked closely, he could see that he was over seventy years old, but those eyes were shrewd.
Hearing this, Chao Li and Gu Hanzhang stopped at the same time and looked at the old Taoist.
The old Taoist priest had already stood up and walked quickly in front of the two of them, it was clear that he looked old, but the speed on his feet was not slow at all.
"What?" Gu Hanzhang frowned.
Why is it that there is always trouble when you come to visit the temple fair today, why shouldn't you go out today?
The old Taoist priest smiled brightly, "The two seals of the old Taoist temple are black, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster in the future, if you come to the old Taoist here to calculate the two of you, it is good to turn evil into good fortune." ”
Gu Hanzhang's face immediately turned gloomy, "Old Daoist, have you calculated for yourself, will you also have a bloody disaster today?" ”
There are really all kinds of people, and they even deceived him.
Chaoli couldn't help but be a little funny, "This Taoist chief still doesn't have to say it, otherwise he will be scolded later." ”
"It seems that the two of you don't want to talk to Lao Dao, it's okay, in addition to finding dragons and fortune telling for people, Lao Dao also has a little business, which is selling red rope. My red rope can keep me safe, and I might even be able to save someone's life at a critical moment. Wouldn't it be better for the two of them to wear a pair of red ropes, and it can also enhance the relationship between husband and wife. The old Taoist priest smiled again.
Originally, Gu Hanzhang was not interested, but when he heard Lao Dao say that he was right with Chao Lideng, and heard him mention the red rope, he lifted his eyelids.
"Then buy a pair of red strings." Gu Hanzhang spoke.
"Does the husband also believe this?" Chaoli was a little amused, "I remember that you should not believe it." ”
Gu Hanzhang chuckled, "Good wishes, why don't you want to believe it?" ”
Lao Dao immediately came to his senses, turned back to his stall, took out a handful of red rope from the cloth bag on the side, and hurriedly approached Gu Hanzhang and Chao Li.
"Two nobles, please see, this red rope is one hundred and twenty, and a pair is only two hundred and sixty taels. You can't buy it, you can't be fooled, this is something that can save lives and keep you safe, and it is all dedicated to the city god. The old Taoist priest enthusiastically introduced.
Chao Li's face was black, "Dao Chief, one costs one hundred taels, why do two cost two hundred and sixty taels, shouldn't two be cheaper one hundred and sixty taels?" And your red rope, with all due respect, is only a penny or two, and it is so expensive? ”
Gu Hanzhang also looked at the old Taoist priest with a foolish look, and he felt that this old Taoist priest was afraid that he was crazy.
"Am I so stupid in your eyes?" Gu Hanzhang sneered.
The old Taoist priest glared at Gu Hanzhang faintly, "How is it possible, the son is wise and unmatched, where can he be stupid?" It's just that this red rope can play a protective role at critical moments, and it is also used to enhance feelings, and it is very useful. I don't lie to you, the numbers are just Tujili, doesn't the prince want to be affectionate with your wife? ”
Very good, the old Taoist priest successfully captured Gu Hanzhang's mind, so that he had no reason to refuse.
"I'll buy it." Gu Hanzhang should be ordered.
This amount of money is nothing to him, it's just that the old Taoist priest's words of affection and affection for Chaoli pierced Gu Hanzhang's heart.
There is no difference in money left and right, and there is nothing to buy a pair of red strings.
Chao Li wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to say that there was no need to spend money in vain, but Gu Hanzhang had already given the money and accepted the red rope, and it was outside, of course she couldn't say anything.
"I wish you two to grow old together in this life, hahaha." The old Taoist priest took the money and went to pack his things.
He moved very quickly, packed his things, and immediately turned to leave.
Some people around saw Gu Hanzhang's move to buy red rope just now, but no one said anything, but an aunt came from not far away.
"Oh, how can you believe him, this is an old liar, he doesn't give much of a thing, it doesn't have that kind of peace. Everyone around us knows it, but there are always people who are fooled, it's really hard to say. I wanted to tell you, but my son told me not to do too much, or I would cause trouble for myself. ”
"Thank you, Auntie, it's just asking for peace of mind, it's a kind of wish." Chao Li smiled.
Since the deceived people don't care, the aunt doesn't say much.
The people around him who were watching the excitement dispersed, Gu Hanzhang stretched out his hand and spread out the two red ropes for Chao Li.
The red rope is one large and one small, and it is also specially prepared for men and women to wear.
In fact, these two red ropes look very ordinary, just the kind sold by some stalls, and there is no difference at all.
"I put it on for Madame?" Gu Hanzhang spoke.
Chao Li understood that Gu Hanzhang had made up her mind to wear a red rope, and she raised her right hand.
"Okay."
Gu Hanzhang carefully tied the red rope to Chao Li, and he also stretched out his left hand and handed the remaining larger red rope to Chao Li, obviously to let Chao Li tie it for him.
When Chaoli tied a red rope to Gu Hanzhang, he flipped his wrist and held Chaoli's right hand in the palm of his hand.
The two red ropes complemented each other, and the two glanced at each other and walked into the City God Temple.
Today there is an idea for a new book, the past wears the present, and I think it's very interesting to think about it, but I'm a little hesitant to open it. I haven't written about modern times, so I probably don't write well, and I'm afraid I don't have that much energy, but this book is definitely going to be a million words.
