Chapter Seventy-Five: The Temple of Sacrifice
The prosperity of an ancestral temple is judged by its incense.
Praying for blessings and burning incense is more about placing expectations on the future.
Things are man-made, and to achieve their own expectations, they still need to work through their own efforts.
But in any case, with hope, there will be motivation.
Walking on the stone steps up the mountain, Jun Muyi watched the people around her keep coming down from the mountain, and looked at Chen Xing beside her very curiously.
"What is that ancestral temple on the mountain asking for?"
People come and go, and the incense is not prosperous.
Chen Xing glanced at Jun Muyi, who was puzzled, and said with a smile: "Have you found out the composition of the people who came here?" Actually, it's all pretty much the same. Guess what? ”
When Jun Muyi saw the people around her, she couldn't figure it out.
Except for the elderly, it seems that there are people who come to worship.
While the girl was thinking, a child sprang out of the two of them and ran quickly towards the mountain.
Then two more gusts of wind blew, and it was the child's parents, who were muttering sorry and quickly catching up with the child.
Jun Muyi looked at Chen Xing in frustration, "Don't guess, I can't guess." Aren't all these men, women, and children, all but the old people coming? ”
Chen Xing scratched his head in embarrassment, "Don't look at other people's children... There are a few who bring small children..."
The girl frowned suspiciously, and then a family walked down the hill with two children.
"Is it really a minority?" Jun Muyi said in disbelief.
Chen Xing became more and more embarrassed, touched his nose, and reluctantly said, "Really..."
As he spoke, a father walked past the two of them with his child on his back, and the child's mother followed quickly.
Jun Muyi: ......
Chen Xing: ......
It's over, the mentality is a little broken.
Chen Xing looked at the family with children and sighed.
He kind of didn't want to explain...
Jun Muyi saw Chen Xing's deflated appearance, and pushed him with a smile, "Okay, hurry up and tell me, what the hell is this asking for?" What kind of temple is it? ”
Chen Xing glanced at the girl and said, "Yuelao Temple." ”
"Huh? Yuelao Temple? Is it the Yuelao Temple in my understanding? ”
"yes..."
"Then why do people take children?"
"I don't know."
"So you bring me up..."
"Ahem, what do you think?"
Glaring at Chen Xing, Jun Mu Yiqiao's face was slightly red.
After he explained this, she realized that the proportion of men and women in pairs did account for the majority of the people who came and went.
Those with children are the only ones just now.
"Does it work here?"
"It's very effective, but that's what I've heard... Anyway, there are at least thousands of boxes of wedding cakes piled up every year to repay their wishes. ”
"Well... But we didn't have anything to prepare. ”
"It's okay, there are in the temple."
After going up the mountain, Jun Muyi knew that what Chen Xing said was not a lie.
There are things at the door of the side hall of the place of vows, let alone the inside of the side hall.
Walking through the side hall, as the girl expected, it was already full of things.
Looking at the crowds, Jun Muyi carefully followed Chen Xing's side.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go to the main hall first to worship the old man? And then go to pray for blessings? ”
Jun Muyi looked around and whispered, "Shouldn't the Yuelao Temple be more for single men and women to visit?" We're..."
Chen Xing squeezed her hand, and when he saw that she was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, he smiled: "We are not single men and women? Who said it was for ordinary friends? ”
The girl glared at him, "We're a quasi-couple now..."
Chen Xing smiled playfully: "Isn't that still single?" ”
Glaring at Chen Xing again, Jun Muyi turned her head angrily.
If you keep saying this, he's all right!
Angry, the girl stretched out her hand again and squeezed Chen Xing's hand fiercely.
Patting away the girl's hand, Chen Xing said a little painfully: "Don't pinch it, pinch it again, others will think that I was subjected to domestic violence." ”
"Hmph." Jun Muyi didn't want to pay attention to him.
Chen Xing carefully squeezed her hand, met her displeased eyes, and added, "Actually, even if you are a couple, you can come to worship the Moon Old Temple." ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Is that so?" ”
Chen Xing nodded, "Of course." Ask for a family member who will eventually be with you forever and never give up. It's all about asking for a good omen. ”
"So... Huh! One didn't pay attention, Jun Muyi tripped over the threshold.
Chen Xing reacted quickly and hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.
Relieved, Chen Xing said angrily: "Look at the road." ”
"Who knew that the threshold was so high..."Jun Muyi was a little unconvinced.
pinched the girl's face angrily, Chen Xing saw that she was about to have a seizure, and hurriedly said, "There are so many people, go back and fight again." ”
Looking at the posture of the people around him, Jun Muyi retracted and said angrily: "Go back and wait for me." ”
Lining up, Chen Xing looked at the girl with curious eyes and asked, "Is it the first time you have come to such a place?" ”
"Hmm." Thinking of something, Jun Muyi looked up at Chen Xing, "What about you?" Is it the first time you've been here? You're not going to be with anyone else, are you? ”
"No, it's my first time." Looking at the girl who seemed to be a little jealous, Chen Xing responded with a smile, "Who do you think I can come with?" ”
"Jiang Meng."
"I was only at school when I was with her, and we didn't go out together in that time."
"Really?"
"Really. You're here with me, and you've directly broken a lot of my first-time records. Like going out with a girl for the first time, living together, and being fed for the first time... These are all of them. ”
"Really?"
"yes. Seriously, you're responsible for me. Chen Xing said with a sad face.
After staring at Chen Xing for a while, Jun Muyi retracted her gaze, the corners of her mouth lifted, and she was in a very good mood, "What if I'm not responsible?" ”
"Then I can't help it... If you say so, then I'll have to go and harm the other girls. Alright, just kidding, it's our turn. ”
Glaring at him again, the girl followed him into the main hall.
The incense pot in front of the statue is almost full of incense, and several people are still worshipping.
After waiting for them to leave, Chen Xing took the money and incense prepared on the side, and gave half of it to the girl's hand.
Burning, worshipping, burning gold paper money.
After doing it, Chen Xing looked at the girl who also looked like she had learned, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's nothing if it's not standard, the important thing is the mind." ”
The girl shook her head a little stubbornly, "No. ”
Seeing her unpersuadable look, Chen Xing could only guide her.
After the girl finished worshipping smoothly, she ignored Chen Xing and walked towards the door by herself.
Seeing this, Chen Xing followed her, "Don't you want me anymore?" ”
Jun Muyi looked at him and said angrily: "Didn't you follow?" ”
"I'm a little sad..."
"Okay, let's go, where to pray?"
"Remember to wait for me next time."
"Okay, I'll wait for you for the rest of my life, okay?"
"Wow, Jun Muyi, you have changed, you can say such sensual words so easily... Stop, stop! Someone, someone! ”
Chen Xing hurriedly shouted to Jun Muyi, who was about to have a seizure again, and he leaned into her ear and said, "We haven't gone out of the old temple this month, so you want to beat me?" ”
"Old Yue, his old man won't care!"
"What if?"
"You're so annoying! It's a big deal if I go to worship again, and the old man will forgive me. ”
