Stars have to rely on fame to make money. If the ancient temple wants to make more money, it also depends on fame. So some people who see business opportunities are always boasting about how many years their ancient temple has existed, how long its history is, and how effective it is. In fact, these are all boasting.
However, as he approached the ancient temple, Wang Xiao felt a sense of tranquility, as if he had found a spiritual sustenance, and suddenly felt very tranquil. Wang Xiao also does not know why can have this kind of feeling, perhaps is the psychological function.
Walking to the front and back of the gate, I saw a stone tablet standing three meters away from the gate of the ancient temple, which was carved with countless dense fonts. These typefaces are vigorous and powerful, and the carving is very standard. You can see that they are made by celebrities.
They were curious, so they walked slowly towards the stone tablet, stood under it and looked up at the words on it. Although it was evening, because there were street lamps outside the ancient temple, Wang Xiaosan could still see the characters clearly.
Looking at the above content, Wang Xiao roughly knows the content. The content is roughly that this ancient temple was built in the early Tang Dynasty. This can be traced back to the meritorious service of the thirteen stick monks in the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were thirteen masters of Shaolin Temple who were very powerful. They saved Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty among thousands of troops, and they also fought with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and wiped out numerous anti thieves.
Later, Emperor Taizong rewarded these Shaolin masters with numerous gold, silver, jewelry, and high officials. But these people refused and left without saying goodbye. All of them returned to Shaolin Temple. No one was greedy for glory and wealth.
The order of Emperor Taizong encouraged the development of Shaolin temples throughout the country. This ancient temple was built at that time. When Emperor Taizong built Shaolin in China, he also listed Songshan Shaolin Temple as the first place of Shaolin and the birthplace of martial arts.
After seeing these contents, Wang Xiao just smiles. This story is true, but whether the ancient temple was built at that time is unknown.
Lin Dan seemed a little happy and said, "look, I said before that this ancient temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. It's true."
Wang Xiao didn't say what he thought. If he is sincere, he will be smart. Since he has come here with Lin Dan, he should not question these questions. And for Shaolin Temple, Wang Xiao has a good feeling in his heart. For example, master clearance, if it had not been for master clearance, Wang Xiao and others might have died long ago.
"Let's go in and have a look." Lin Dan is very excited to walk towards the ancient temple, while Wang Xiao and others are following. After entering the inner ancient temple, it is a courtyard with rooms in four directions, and a large courtyard in the middle.
There is a pond in the courtyard, in which there is a big turtle carved in stone. A monk in the middle of the night, also don't know what to salvage in the pond. On a stone wall outside the pond, three big characters were written: "wishing pool."
As the name suggests, this is the place to make a wish. There are several young people, are standing outside the pond, holding coins, throwing into the water. In front of the courtyard is the main hall, where the Buddha statues are served, while the rooms in the other three directions are small shops.
Lin Dan and Wang Xiao walk around everywhere, only to see some of the houses selling things like jade. The prices of these jades are not very expensive, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, and the cheapest ones are tens of yuan.
However, the jades and other items on sale here are all under the banner of "open light" to deceive some consumers. Wang Xiao shakes his head helplessly. Madder, who knows if they have really opened the light. Maybe these people directly from the stall, bring those cheap goods back, and then say what has been opened.
It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that it costs 20 or 30 yuan to buy things with two or three yuan on the street outside. It's really dark.
For these bargains, Wang Xiao and Lin Dan certainly don't like them, so they just take a casual look, and then quickly leave and walk towards the main hall. When passing by the pond, Wang Xiao looked at the pond curiously and saw that the monk was making money.
On one of the stones in the pond, it said, "no littering." The meaning is very obvious. It's just throwing money. You can't throw anything else casually. It turns out that many people think that if they throw coins in the pond and hit the turtle in the pond, then their wishes will come true, so they all throw coins into the pond one after another.
As time goes on, countless coins will pile up in the wide pond. The monk who was fishing for coins found coins in baskets.
Wang Xiao thought in her heart, it's a cornucopia. No wonder many people want to be monks now. After entering the main hall, I saw only a few scattered people in the whole hall.
In the center of the hall, there is a stone statue, which is the statue of Puxian Bodhisattva. The Buddha statue of Puxian Bodhisattva is more than three meters high. It seems to be plated with gold. It looks very dazzling.
There are also several Buddha statues worshipped by Puxian Bodhisattva, but Wang Xiao can't see who the rest of them are.
Although the Golden Buddha is dazzling, it is less solemn. In addition to these statues, there are some counters and a merit box in the hall. Incense is sold in the counter, and the merit box is the place for money.Wang Xiaosan went to the counter and then looked at the incense inside. All the incense were clearly priced. The old and the young didn't cheat. But after a look at all the incense, Wang Xiao felt speechless.
I saw that some incense were very expensive. For example, the incense for disaster relief actually cost more than 300 yuan. Mad, a stick of incense is as thick as a thumb. It's really expensive. The thickness is different.
Besides, Xiang, who is looking for money, actually costs 888 yuan a barrel. His uncle's, a stick of incense is as big as a bowl. It's a good fortune. It costs 888 yuan. The price sounds not only smooth, but also auspicious.
Wang Xiao sighed that this quiet place of Buddhism has become a tool for collecting money. Now the world has changed, so everything has changed. Lin Dan can't help frowning. It can be seen that Lin Dan's heart is also unhappy.
Because according to those expensive incense, it seems that if you burn these ordinary incense, it will not work. After Lin Dan took a handful of ordinary incense at random, he threw 100 yuan into the merit box.
Wang Xiao saw the monk chanting sutras. When Lin Dan put the money into the merit box, he opened one eye and closed the other. He looked at Lin Dan quietly. Seems to want to check whether Lin Dan put money in.
It's really funny that the monk recites scriptures with no intention, but people are forced by life, so Wang Xiao doesn't care. And now the quality of people in many countries really needs to be improved. For example, in those coin operated buses, some passengers always tear one yuan into two when the driver is not paying attention to it.
This is still a matter of conscience. Many people even put in fake money. Counterfeit money is nothing. Some people even make Ming money into it. The drivers were angry and funny when they were in charge of the company after work.
In fact, this ordinary incense is worth only a few yuan at most, but Lin Dan didn't care about it, so he put in 100 yuan directly. After taking these incense, Lin Dan gave Wang Xiao a piece of incense.
"Thank you." Wang Xiao thanks, and then takes Lin Dan's fragrance. Although he doesn't believe in the legends of ghosts and gods, he is sincere. And since you're here, just burn incense and worship Buddha, and you can have peace of mind.
Lin Dan gives a stick of incense to Xiao Chun. Xiao Chun smiles a little. Wang Xiao waves his hand and says, "Mr. Lin, I don't believe this. I just believe in myself."
Lin Dan didn't say anything. He just took the incense back. After lighting the incense, Lin Dan kneels down on the ground, and then closes his eyes to make a wish. After seeing Lin Dan's behavior, Wang Xiao kneels down on the ground to make a wish just like Lin Dan.
After the two opened their eyes, Lin Dan looked at Wang Xiao with a smile, and then began to incense. Wang Xiao also began to offer incense. He was a little curious about what Lin Dan's wish was and whether he wanted to be with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao is a little excited. She just hopes that she is not amorous.
"Let's go." Lin Dan turned and walked out. The wish had been completed, so she didn't want to stay here.
Suddenly the monk stood up and put his hands together. "Amitabha, benefactor, I look at your face, your seal hall is dark, and the divine court is dark. I'm afraid it's dangerous tonight. I'd better give you a divination to figure out your destiny."
Lin Dan looked at each other in surprise, because she was worried about what the monk said. Perhaps because these days, Lin Dan often encountered killers, so after hearing each other's words, she seemed a little uneasy.
Turning around and taking a look at Wang Xiao, Lin Dan looks at Wang Xiao and seems to want to ask Wang Xiao to make a decision for himself. Although Xiaochun is her bodyguard now, Wang Xiao is her patron saint.
Wang Xiao shook his head casually, saying that he didn't have to worry. After seeing monk Lin Chun and his character, he is just a beautiful man. So the monk knew that he was willing to pay for Lin Dan only when he said he was in trouble.
Looking at each other, Wang Xiao looked serious and said, "monk, I see you look yellow and have no eyes. Recently, your luck is not very good. You have to be careful."
"Amitabha!"
The monk just put his hands together and kept saying "Amitabha."
Lin Dan glared at Wang Xiao angrily, and then quickly walked out of the hall. Wang Xiao didn't know why she was angry, so he and Xiao Chun followed her quickly to the outside. After walking outside the hall, Lin Dan said to Wang Xiao angrily, "even if you don't believe him, you don't have to hurt him like this."
"I didn't hurt him. In fact, I know fortune telling." Wang Xiao said with a smile.
"Cut!"
For Wang Xiao's words, Lin Dan of course does not believe, she disdained a look, then slowly out of the ancient temple.
After walking to the outside of the ancient temple, you can see that it is dark all around, and the trees are shining in the night sky, which gives you a feeling of depression. Wang Xiao thought of the monk's words in her heart. Maybe the other side didn't say it freely, but really did.
Is Lin Dan really in danger tonight? Wang Xiao decided to be careful. Although he didn't believe the monk's words, it was always good to be careful. However, Wang Xiao was relieved to have himself and Xiao Chun by Lin Dan's side.There are two xuanjie masters protecting Lin Dan. There will be nothing wrong with him. And after so many ups and downs, Lin Dan is not only OK, but also can develop the company better and better, so it is not so easy for those people to deal with Lin Dan.
