Chapter 16 Dao Fa Tong Xuan
Tai'an Mansion is as prosperous as ever. Even though a major case of killing officials in the street happened not long ago, for the people, this is only a temporary topic. Although it is sensational, after discussing it, life still needs to continue. Every day, you have to work hard for your own business.
But there are still influences, such as ghosts and gods. People are no longer as skeptical as before. More people, especially those who witnessed the murder that day, gradually began to believe that ghosts and gods really existed.
The sun is in the sky, the sky is as clear as
Liu Suifeng and Yaoguang stood in front of a small stall selling groceries. On the surface, they were bargaining with the merchants seriously, but their eyes swept to the Seven Stars Temple across the street from time to time
The Seven Star Temple is a Taoist temple with a long history. It is said that it can be traced back to the early Tang Dynasty. The temple enshrines the Taoist ancestors of the Three Qings. In the past, the incense is just like the past few years, but in recent years it has become more and more prosperous.
Although it is a temple, it is different from other Taoist temples. The Seven Star Temple covers an area of dozens of acres. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is carved beams and painted roads, but it has bluestone walls, green tiles and red eaves, and the high walls on both sides are more than two meters high. It is magnificent and grand, but it lacks a little Taoist light and naturalness.
The archway at the door is made of white marble, with Taoist allusions such as Ganoderma lucidum, crane, Bagua, and Eight Immortals on the middle top of the archway. On a plaque with blue background and gold characters, the three big characters of Seven Stars Temple are grand, and under the sun, there is a golden halo.
At this time, the gate of the Seven Star Temple opened wide, and a group of pilgrims came and went, it was so lively
Yaoguang picked up a beautiful small green gourd from the stall, looked at it, and approached Liu Suifeng, pretending to ask for advice, but actually asked in a low voice: "Is it here? Seven Stars Temple?"
Liu Suifeng nodded, lowered his head and pretended to choose goods on the stall. However, he looked at the direction of Qixingguan, picked up a small gossip mirror, and replied softly: "Well, it's here. I think this fairy De Miao is evil, the evil one is cruel."
Yaoguang chuckled and looked at Liu Suifeng teasingly: "Is there any woman in this world that makes you feel evil?"
Liu Suifeng's expression remained unchanged, and he only retorted lightly: "Aren't you just one?"
Yao Guang glared at her eyes and was about to turn her mouth when she saw Liu Suifeng turning around and looking at the Seven Star Temple with a solemn expression. After a while, she heard him talking to herself: "The living dead, flesh and bones, birds and beasts, and the dead trees bloom. Don't you think these things sound familiar?
"Familiar?" Yaoguang wondered, and looked at the Seven Stars Temple.
Liu Suifeng nodded: "Think about it, what is the essential difference between turning something into something and turning something into something without it?"
Yaoguang frowned and thought for a while, nodded suddenly: "The murderer just climbed up and disappeared, what do you mean? Are they all illusions?"
"You can teach me!" Liu Suifeng looked at Yao Guang in surprise, nodded with satisfaction, and looked away from the direction of the Seven Stars Temple. While looking at the Bagua Mirror in his hand, he whispered: "I heard that the Seven Stars Temple has also produced auspiciousness, and there is an immortal coming. At that time, the sky was full of fragrant flowers and the heavenly music was following, do you want to meet her more?"
After Liu Suifeng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yaoguang to react, so he stepped out of the stall and walked towards the Seven Star Temple.
Seeing this, Yaoguang quickly put down the small gourd in her hand and followed Liu Suifeng with all her steps. The corners of her mouth were pursed, and she was speechless for a moment, but her eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity, as if a playful child had just discovered a fresh and interesting new toy.
The two of them walked slowly, and they mixed in with the coming and going pilgrims, and walked into the Virtue Temple.
Not far away, the young man who was performing arts - it should be said that it was Tai Sui, who was secretly peeking at them. Seeing the two of them entering the Seven Star Temple with laughter, they couldn't help but grit their teeth secretly, and their eyes showed hatred. He hesitated for a moment, but still stood there without following.
From the outside, it can only be seen that Qide Temple occupies a considerable area, but as soon as he entered the door, Liu Suifeng and the others realized that this Taoist temple really has a universe inside.
The eyes are a courtyard with a radius of nearly 100 meters. Green pine and green cypress planted around the courtyard. In the middle is a row of bluestone steps dozens of steps high. Following the steps upwards is an altar. In the middle of the altar is a huge bronze incense burner that is more than half a person tall.
At this time, countless pilgrims were lined up in front of the incense burner, and everyone was holding incense of different thicknesses and sizes in their hands, ready to worship
The two of them walked up the steps and walked a few steps. They saw a green curtain on the side of the road. Behind the table were two middle-aged Taoist priests. Although the two Taoist priests looked as if they were hypocritical and fairy-like, when Liu Suifeng Yaoguang approached, they realized that the two were selling incense.
That's right, the pilgrims bought the incense in their hands, which was bought from these two Taoist priests.
Yaoguang had to ignore it, but Liu Suifeng pulled her sleeve, walked over, and inquired casually, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
"How much? One tael of silver and one fragrant plant?" Even Yao Guang was born in a wealthy family and always took advantage of his actions, and was shocked at this time.
What is the concept of one tael of silver?
In this era, one tael of silver can buy thirty kilograms of beef, or one hundred kilograms of rice. In other words, save some money, one tael of silver can be enough for a bachelor to live for a month.
But here, a fragrance plant costs one tael of silver! This is still the most common incense candle. If the material is better or larger incense candle, it will be several times more expensive.
The two of them looked at the endless stream of pilgrims all over the mountains and fields, and couldn't help but sigh that this Seven Star Temple is really a way to make money!
Fortunately, Liu Suifeng's expression changed slightly, so he reached into his arms, took out five taels of silver, pointed to the three-foot-high incense candle, and said, "Please give me a tall fragrance."
It was a big deal to buy a fragrant plant for five taels of silver. Even Yaoguang couldn't understand Liu Suifeng, but the two Taoists seemed to have seen such scenes. They looked at each other and did not say a word, and did not raise their heads. They took the silver with one hand and handed the incense and candle with the other, and ignored the two of them.
Liu Suifeng smiled, bowed politely, and pulled Yaoguang upwards
After walking a few steps, Yaoguang couldn't help it and asked in a low voice: "Why are you buying it? We aren't we really here to burn incense?"
The sound of the wind like a thin line, lifted his chin slightly to the top of the steps and whispered: "Look above, it seems that only those who have been incense can enter the hall."
Yaoguang was stunned and followed Liu Suifeng's gaze. Sure enough, those who did not burn incense could only worship outside the hall, and the pilgrims who could enter were all pilgrims who had been burning incense.
"This is really blatant to make money!" Yao Guang's face showed resentment, and he gritted his teeth and snorted.
Liu Suifeng disagreed and chuckled, "Not all the same is true for Buddhism and Taoism? You are still a little knowledgeable. When you have time, you will take you to Baima Temple to have a look."
The two of them walked up the steps and said a few words. They soon arrived in front of the Taiding Hall. Before they could burn incense, they saw a village woman pulling her seven or eight-year-old son, crying and kneeling in front of a young Taoist nun. While kowtowing, she said in a crying voice: "Thank you for your kindness for saving your life, thank you for your fairy."
The nun was standing on the steps in front of the hall, helping the village woman up, with a gentle look, pity and compassion, and was comforting something softly.
The Taoist nun is not old and looks like she is twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She is wearing a green Taoist robe, with no pictures or pictures, simple and simple. She holds a simple Taoist bun on her head and uses an ordinary wooden hairpin to pass through her hair. She is clean and elegant and peaceful. She stands there, like a Taoist female fairy who is not stained with the world and has compassion.
Liu Suifeng and Yaoguang looked at each other, without saying a word, just stood from afar, watching quietly
They didn't say anything, because they had plans to observe the situation first, but others had already discussed this scene.
"What? The boy from the Zhang family is alive?" In the crowd, a thin middle-aged man was stunned when he saw the child who was seven or eight years old, and then asked the people around him with surprise.
"That's o" A big man with a bearded face said proudly: "It's almost gone, Fairy De Miao poured a pot of talisman water into it. Ha, guess what? His eyes opened immediately, and it's alive!"
