Heaven's Dao System Nine Turns of Immortality

Xiao Chen and Luo Xue wandered in the valley for a while. Seeing that the construction team was already familiar with the environment, Xiao Chen was about to leave for Changning City to replenish some supplies.

Luo Xue explained to Li Laoer that each worker's daily wage was one penny, but he could be given an extra thirty penny as a bonus. If he did a good job, he would be given more.

Although Li Laoer didn't understand, Xiao Chen Luoxue gave him too much, so he didn't say anything.

Xiao Chen and Luo Xue left the valley and headed for Changning City.

There was a willow tree next to Xiao Chen's tent, with lush branches and leaves, as big as a canopy. The wind blew the willow branches and swayed towards Xiao Chen and Luoxue, as if waving goodbye.

With everything on track, the valley became lively, people came and went, and work was in full swing.

People driving bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages unloaded materials and left.

"Everyone, come on, work hard. You can't eat this meat for free. Give me all your strength at night." Along with Li Laoer's shouts, bursts of work chants sounded.

The road was dense, Luo Xue and Xiao Chen let Lao Ma walk as he pleased, passing by a temple with the words "Jinling Temple" written on it.

"There are also gods enshrined here, how do you feel?" Xiao Chen asked Luoxue.

Luoxue shook her head slightly, "Let's go in and have a look!" Luoxue pulled Xiao Chen towards the temple.

A thousand-year-old temple with ancient trees and pilgrims.

Tall steps, black door.

After crossing the threshold of more than one foot high, facing the gate, there is a black incense burner more than one meter high and one meter wide. Behind it is a majestic palace.

Several pilgrims were offering incense. The incense burner was filled with gray-white incense ash. Incense sticks as thick as a thumb were lit and inserted. Several pilgrims took turns to kneel down and worship.

"What are they asking for?" Luoxue asked in a low voice.

"What else can I ask for? For wealth, for children, for marriage, and for peace." Xiao Chen pulled Luo Xue into the main hall. Maitreya Buddha sat in the middle, smiling, and the two guardian gods on the left and right held the demon-conquering pestle with angry eyes. open eyes.

There is a yellow futon on the ground, a table in front of it, and a small yellow incense burner on it. A handful of incense is emitting green smoke, and it has been lit for a while.

"Religion is still very popular here, and I don't feel the aura of the gods. Is it spiritual?" Luoxue looked at the statue in front of her and asked Xiao Chen.

"The Goddess of Mercy here is very spiritual. The gods here have their own business, but we worship the gods when we meet them." Xiao Chen first knelt down and worshiped the Buddha statue.

"In this case, I have listened to the wishes of believers before. Demons and gods are all exchanges of equal value. The gods here are really good." Luo Xue waited for Xiao Chen to finish his worship and bowed before him.

"What wish did you make?" Xiao Chen was a little curious. This guardian of the devil and god made a wish to the Buddha, and whether the Buddha should answer it or not.

"I won't tell you." Luoxue stood up and looked around again. Several pilgrims came in and the two of them left the hall.

The temple is very big, but I didn't see any monks, so they must be doing morning prayers.

After passing the Ksitigarbha Hall, behind is the Guanyin Hall, which is the most crowded. It is renovated in a magnificent way, with cornices and brackets, and a covered bridge and patio painted in blue and red.

A golden statue of Guanyin sits on a lotus throne, with golden boys and girls on the left and right, women line up to worship, and a middle-aged monk wearing a yellow cassock, with his eyes slightly closed, knocking on wooden fish.

There is a two-foot-square box in front of him, and pilgrims throw in a few coins from time to time.

A young woman, wearing a light yellow dress and a pair of green embroidered shoes.He kowtowed devoutly and muttered words. The old woman next to him was holding a tray covered with red cloth.

After the young woman kneeled down and worshiped, the middle-aged monk lit three sticks of incense, and the woman knelt down and offered incense.The old woman raised the tray over her head and handed it to the middle-aged monk respectfully.

"Female donor, please come this way." The monk bowed, took the tray, chanted a Buddhist chant, stretched out his hand and pushed open a small door, and the three of them entered the inner room one after another.

"Can I get in if I pay money? What's inside?" Luoxue curiously raised her toes and peered inside.

The middle-aged monk looked back at Luoxue, his eyes shining brightly.

"If you give alms, you can ask for Goddess Guanyin's talisman water. Drink it and it will be efficacious." Xiao Chen whispered in Luoxue's ear.

"Interesting." Luoxue blinked her big eyes, thoughtfully.

There was a long queue of more than a dozen people in front of him. Xiao Chen wanted to go around, but Luo Xue insisted on paying homage.

"You don't have children, why are you worshiping Guanyin?" Xiao Chen didn't understand what Luoxue was thinking, so he obeyed her. Don't guess what a woman is thinking.

"I'm happy." Luo Xue rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen, with a smile on her pretty face.

Half an hour later, the young woman and the old woman came out of the inner room, and the middle-aged monk followed them. The young woman looked tired. After bowing, she thanked the monk and left the Guanyin Hall with the help of the old woman. .

The monk chanted the Buddha's name and sat on the futon, and the sound of wooden fish sounded again.

After that, no one entered the inner room again, even if he gave extra money, the monk also closed his eyes tightly, like a god who didn't care about worldly affairs, and the wooden fish in his hand kept ringing.

After another half hour, it was finally Luoxue's turn, and Xiao Chen followed Luoxue.

Luoxue kowtowed devoutly and muttered words.He took out a piece of silver, estimated to have about one tael, and placed it on the table.

The middle-aged monk opened his eyes and stared at the falling snow in front of him. "The female donor is asking for a child?"

"I'm sorry, Master." Luoxue said in a soft voice with her cheeks flushed. Her expression and posture were so graceful that Xiao Chen behind him was stunned. How could this woman never be so graceful to him?

Under the leadership of the middle-aged monk, the two entered the inner room, then passed through a sealed corridor and came to a sealed room filled with smoke, with a statue of a great master sitting inside.

Even the lit candles couldn't illuminate the room, and a vague sweet fragrance was mixed with the smoke generated by the fragrance of the candles.

The middle-aged monk lit three thick golden incense candles. He looked solemn and held a yellow paper charm in his hand. He was reciting scriptures. As for what he was reciting, he could not hear clearly.

After reciting the sutra, the paper charm in his hand began to burn.

Xiao Chen rubbed his eyes in disbelief.There was nothing unusual on Luoxue's face.

After the paper charm is burned, the ashes fall into a white fine porcelain bowl, and the monk chants the name of the Buddha.

"Female donor, please come with this poor monk. Sir, please wait a moment."

Luoxue followed the monk into another room, and Xiao Chen looked around the room.There is nothing else in the room except the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Buddhist scriptures on the wall.

Xiao Chen pushed the door through which Luoxue entered the room just now, but it didn't move at all.

Xiao Chen was really bored and sat down in front of the statue.

Xiao Chen felt that after about one stick of incense, there were several noises coming out of the room, but they were not clear and the sounds disappeared instantly.
