Although Zhu Shouli and his wife have a good relationship, there is always one regret in their hearts: they have been married for more than seven years, but they have not been able to give birth to children. In the countryside, it is a big deal to have children to inherit incense.

For this reason, the birthday ceremony couple not only sought medical treatment everywhere in the countryside, but also did not hesitate to spend money to find famous old Chinese medicine doctors everywhere to ask for prescriptions, but the medicine pot was rotten several but did not work.

When the parents of the birthday ceremony saw that their neighbors had their grandchildren around their knees, they brought laughter and laughter, and their hearts were even more uncomfortable and anxious, and they always urged the birthday ceremony to do more.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater", this is a traditional custom that cannot be shaken off in rural China for a while. Under the white eyes of some people in the village, the birthday ceremony couple who have no children and no daughters feel even inferior, and they live like a year.

In addition, Luodong Village, Lidong Town, Tianlu Mountain, has a good weather this year, and all kinds of crops in the fields have obtained a bumper harvest.

On this day, the wind was gentle and cloudless.

Li Jinlan's sister Li Jinfeng, who married into Yuncheng Jinshui, came to Luodong, Tianlu Mountain, Lidong, to reunite with her sister and talk about family life with the villagers.

After Li Jinfeng learned that her sister Li Jinlan had been married for many years and had no way to seek medical treatment, her willow eyebrows frowned, she thought of something, and said: "Sister, I heard that there is a marriage tree in our Buddha Pier in Tianlu Mountain, and many people go to burn incense to ask for marriage and heirs. There is a master in Tianlu Temple on the mountain to ask people to interpret the sign, point out the maze, turn the evil into good fortune, I heard that it is very effective. I heard that the master was born in a family of Xinglin and will also give people a look to diagnose and treat diseases, so you might as well go and give it a try. ”

It seems that the dark night has seen a ray of light, and if there is a possibility, it must be fought for with great effort.

So, Li Jinlan and Zhu Birthday Li followed Li Jinfeng to the Buddha Pier of Tianlu Mountain.

Mt. Tianlu is the highest mountain range on the coast of the South China Sea. All famous mountains have famous main peaks, such as the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai in Dongyue, and the Zhurong Peak of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue; And the main peak of Tianlu Mountain towering into the sky is called Tianfeng, the fairy aura is swirling, the momentum is extraordinary, it is said that it is the place where Taishang Laojun refines the elixir, so it is also the treasure place where the common people worship within a radius of 100 miles.

The Buddha pier is halfway up the Tianlu Mountain, and the shape of the boulder on the small hill pier is very similar to the Buddha who sits on the plate and sends the Buddha Lu Junyong Buddha.

In the accent of the local people in Xinzhou, the sound of the word "dun" is similar to the sound of the word "ding", so people also call "Buddha Zidun" "Buddha Ziding", Lu Junyong laughed that there were a lot of incense candles in front of the Buddha stone, and the big stone was smoked gray and black by the smoke candles.

There are two big banyan trees three zhang away from each other in the Buddha with a strong aura, the thick horizontal branches stretch out to each other, intersect into a hug, and the cross trunks form a "heart" shape, which makes people sigh: the creation of heaven is incredible.

People are accustomed to call these two large banyan trees that are connected to each other "smoke edge trees".

Eight years ago, Li Jinlan met a birthday ceremony under the marriage tree in Tianlu Mountain, and the two fell in love at first sight and got married, so this is also a place worthy of their couple's memorial.

On the left and right sides of this magical smoke edge tree, there are two thick trunks generated from the roots of the trees, which become two small trees, like a pair of boys. Locals say that these are the two young trees born from the Smoke Edge Tree. Therefore, many people come here, burn incense and make wishes, praying for a good marriage and blessings.

The birthday ceremony and Li Jinlan reverently inserted incense candles in front of the big stone that resembled Lu Junyong Buddha in the "Buddha Zidun", lit the wine, and prayed.

Li Jinfeng brought the birthday ceremony couple to Tianlu Temple.

Tianlu Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and was located on the top of the mountain in the early days, forming a confrontation with Daishan Temple. Later, due to the rugged path on the top of the mountain, it was not convenient for pilgrims to go. The mountain temple was moved to the vicinity of Taipingwei Town, while the Tianlu Temple was moved to the halfway point of the mountain. The scale of Tianlu Temple is not large, the blue brick sub-wall, the stone slab is paved, the eaves are high wings, the wind blows the horn copper bell, and the jingle rings. On weekdays, the believers are like clouds, and the incense is prosperous.

After wishing the birthday ceremony and Li Jinlan incense to the Buddha statue in the temple, and after making a prayer, they walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and saw a master on the side hall hurrying into the temple with a basket on his back.

Li Jinfeng pointed to the master and said to Li Jinlan: "Sister, he is the abbot of the temple. ”

This abbot is over the age of sixteen but in good spirits, his body is thin and tall, his skin is white, his face is slightly long, and his eyes under the white silkworm are shining, as if they are a thousand-year-old ancient pond shining into the sun.

He wore a gray monk's robe and flat black monk's shoes, and the old Zen master's appearance was kind and shrewd.

Zhu Birthday Ceremony and his wife Li Jinlan followed Li Jinfeng to the abbot and bowed his hand: "Good master!" ”

The abbot clasped his hands together and saluted: "Amitabha." ”

"Master, my sister and brother-in-law have a difficult problem and would like your help." Li Jinfeng pointed to Li Jinlan and the birthday ceremony and said.

The little monk came up and took the abbot's medicine basket away.

The abbot raised his hand and pointed to the guest hall: "Okay, you come with me." Immediately brought Li Jinfeng and his party into the guest hall, everyone sat down on the sour branch chair, and the little monk poured them tea.

The abbot took a sip of tea, looked around, and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged couple, the man's face was covered with gloom, and he stopped talking, and Li Jinlan, who was sitting next to the man, had a crimson and shy face.

The abbot was accustomed to seeing the middle-aged couple of this age and demeanor, so he knew it in his heart, and spoke to himself first: "Two donors, if the old man is not wrong, you are here to ask for copper this time, right?"

"The master's eyes are like a mirror, penetrating the world." Before he spoke, the abbot had predicted the secret knot in his heart, and the birthday ceremony had to be admired, and after the praise, he pointed to Li Jinlan who was sitting next to him: "I'm ashamed to say that my husband and wife have been married for more than seven years, and they have not yet been able to blossom and bear fruit. ”

Li Jinlan came up: "So I hope that the master will give us guidance and lead self-reflection." ”

After inspecting the face and hand of the birthday ceremony, the abbot asked the birthday ceremony, "Where are you from?"

The birthday salute pointed forward: "Luodong Village."

Abbot: "That's a good place!"

Zhu Birthday Li felt strange: "Ah, how does the master know our country?"
