Chapter 496 Full of routines, hard to guard against!
Jiuzhuan Temple.
Fan Xiaodao originally thought that Jiuzhuan Temple was just a small temple, but after arriving, he discovered that it covers an area of dozens of acres, with temples and pavilions connected as far as the eye can see. It is not too much to call it a temple. As the second largest Tibetan temple in northern Xinjiang,
According to Buddhist temples, Jiuzhuan Temple was different from the ones he had seen before.
To build a temple of this size in a place like this, it would probably cost a lot of money to maintain its operation.
In addition to pilgrims' incense money, the court also allocates a lot of silver every year. There are several other courtyards in Jiuzhuan Temple for temporary residence of pilgrims, and Dongchang lives in one of the courtyards.
Dongchang kidnapped Duan and his son, and threw Duan Yunhong in front of Fan Xiaodao. Fan Xiaodao and Tang Bufan just found the south of the city warehouse, and Uncle Liu in the warehouse was silenced. Fan Xiaodao knew that these people in Dongchang were all targeting
Perhaps he came here because he found out that he had killed dozens of people in Baoding Prefecture? Or maybe he was retaliating for injuring Lin Yuan?
In the capital, they did not dare to take action.
But outside the capital, people in Dongchang don't have so many worries.
This feud has been forged for a long time, and sooner or later it will be settled. This is just a grudge between Fan Xiaodao and Dongchang, so why should so many innocent people be involved?
man of?
Arriving outside the Jiuzhuan Temple, Fan Xiaodao asked Tang Bufan and Duan Yunhong to find a restaurant to wait here. He decided to enter the Jiuzhuan Temple first to find out. Duan Yunhong was eager to save his father and wanted to follow him in, but Fan Xiaodao gave it up completely with one sentence.
her thoughts.
"If you fight against people from Dongchang, do you dare to kill someone?"
Duan Yunhong shook his head.
Although she was a child of the world, Duan Tiande had protected her very well since she was a child. Not to mention killing people, he tried to keep her away from ordinary beatings and killings. This time he entered Jiuzhuan Temple to confirm whether Duan Tiande and his son were imprisoned here.
Bringing Duan Yunhong along would be a burden.
Duan Yunhong said: "Brother Fan, you have to be careful."
Fan Xiaodao nodded, transformed into an ordinary pilgrim, and entered Jiuzhuan Temple.
As soon as he came in, Fan Xiaodao discovered that there were many pilgrims in the temple. After asking around, he found out that today was the temple's monthly food tasting day. Many pilgrims rushed to the temple early in the morning to burn incense, make wishes, and give money for incense.
, listen to the grand opening ceremony of the Taoist Lama, lecture and recite scriptures, and then go to the inner courtyard. When night falls, Jiuzhuan Temple will distribute food to the believers who come.
Fan Xiaodao followed the crowd into Jiuzhuan Temple.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by the magnificent main hall of the Buddhist temple, located in the center of the temple. There are Dharma protector temples on both sides, which enshrine Vajra Bodhisattva. Fan Xiaodao rarely worships Buddha, and he cannot call these Bodhisattvas with different descriptions.
name.
As soon as the devout pilgrims entered the door, they raised their hands above their heads and knelt down to worship from the main entrance all the way to the main hall. Some of them were not allowed to kneel and pray. Fan Xiaodao followed the crowd and came to the main hall under the leadership of the little lamas in red.
, On the front is a golden statue of Maitreya Buddha, with Manjusri and Avalokitesvara on the left and right, and at the bottom there is a statue of Tara in lotus position.
Fan Xiaodao offered incense and knelt down as usual, then passed a row of huge prayer wheels and arrived at the apse. There were several small doors in the apse, and Fan Xiaodao didn't know what they were used for. As he wandered around, he thought about how to get to other parts of the temple.
After checking the yard, a young lama came to him and said, "I saw the donor was hesitant, but he was confused?"
Fan Xiaodao wanted to take the opportunity to test it out, "I'm really confused."
The young lama said: "I saw that the donor was very pious when offering incense, but there was a sad look on his face. Today happens to be the day of appraising food, and all the nine masters of our temple are here to receive those who are destined. Please come with me!"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Are you inviting me?"
The young lama said: "I only invite people who are destined to come."
As for whether you are a destined person, I can give you a look and realize it for yourself!
Having said that, the little lama turned around and walked straight to a small door next to him without stopping. Fan Xiaodao thought that he was already here, so he might as well follow the little lama and push the door in. Inside, there was a middle-aged man in yellow clothes.
The lama, sitting on the futon, looked at him with a smile.
Fan Xiaodao clasped his hands together and said, "Master!"
The young lama chuckled and said, "Is this the first time the donor has come? This is a first-round master, not a master."
Fan Xiaodao chuckled, "Funny."
The little lama said to the lama in yellow: "Master, I saw that this pilgrim has a predestined relationship with my Buddha, and I specially brought him to see him. I wonder if the master can enlighten him?"
The master in yellow stood up, walked around Fan Xiaodao three times, looked him up and down, and suddenly shouted, "Are you enlightened?"
Fan Xiaodao looked confused, "What did you realize?"
The master sighed and turned around without saying a word.
Fan Xiaodao looked at the little lama with a puzzled look on his face.
The little lama pulled him out and said, "The master is willing to give you a tantric message. This is your best opportunity. You are trapped in the world of mortals, in the whirlpool, the disputes in the world, and the worldly power.
They all constrain you, can’t you still see through it? If you don’t let go of your obsessions and untie the knots in your heart, you won’t be able to pass this guru, let alone the other eight guru’s.”
"I didn't say anything about meeting the guru, either?"
The young lama said, "The first-turn guru sees the opportunity between you and our tantric sect. If he can't drink it, you can't worship him. I will take you to the second-turn guru to have a look."
He pointed to another small door next to him, "However, if you want to see the second-level master, you have to pay incense money."
"How many?"
The little lama said, "It's more or less a matter of fate."
Fan Xiaodao took out a piece of broken silver, about five coins, and handed it to the little lama. The little lama smiled but did not pick it up, "It seems that the fate has not come yet!"
Is this because you don’t have enough money?
Why do the nine masters in the Jiuzhuan Temple charge a fee to see all but one of them? Of course, there is no charge. Whether you pay or not, and how much you pay, all depends on your own free will. Those masters will not see you,
It all depends on fate. Fan Xiaodao thought to himself that since he was here anyway, he might as well see what was fishy in it.
He took out two taels of silver, and the young lama took it, bypassed the small door, and went straight to the room of the fifth-turn master.
The fifth-level master was a thin lama. His red lama clothes were shabby and shabby, and he smelled of alcohol. When he pushed the door in, he hurriedly hid a chicken leg behind the futon and immediately sat upright. The little lama
He said: "Fifth-turn master, I have brought a destined person, and please give him some guidance to help him out of trouble."
The fifth-level master was not as enigmatic as the first-level master. He said to Fan Xiaodao, "What do you have to say?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "I was wrong, I was guilty, and I want to repent!"
The fifth-level master's eyes widened, "Repent? This matter is under God's control. Are you in the wrong place?"
Seeing that he was still drunk, the little lama stepped forward and poured him a bowl of water, and whispered a few words in his ear. The voice was very low, but it fell into Fan Xiaodao's ears word for word, "You are old and wide."
If there is a fire, dig some."
When Fan Xiaodao heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart.
He grew up in a Shanzhai village and has been involved in the martial arts since he was a child. He is naturally familiar with martial arts and rituals. The little lama thought he was really an old Kuan (a layman) who took a fancy to his own money and was planning to blackmail him.
However, he also had his own purpose in coming here, so he did not expose them and pretended not to know.
The fifth-level master took a deep breath and said seriously: "This donor, did you come to our temple to seek answers to your questions, or to make a wish?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "Two of my friends have disappeared. I heard that your temple is very efficacious, so I came to visit the master and want to find them."
The fifth-turn guru said, "Let's not talk about the matter of finding the person for now. Based on my appearance, I see that there will be a disaster of life and death in the near future!"
"A disaster of life and death?"
The little lama explained, "It's just that a disaster is about to happen!" He asked the fifth-turn master, "Master, I see that he is a devout Buddhist, and he is a predestined person with my Buddha. I can meet my master today, and it is also a sign of mercy from God."
, it’s a kind of fate, the master has great supernatural powers, he won’t just sit back and ignore it, right?”
The fifth-level master said, "It is our duty as cultivators to relieve others from suffering, but..."
The little lama asked: "Just what?"
The fifth-level master said, "This month, I changed the fate of a squire in the city against the will of heaven. I have spent too much cultivation. If I do it again, I am afraid I will lose my life!"
??????????????????This is a change of approach. If you don't have enough balance, you have to top up if you want to take refuge!
Fan Xiaodao pretended to be panicked and said, "Please help me, Master!"
The fifth-level master said: "If I take action again, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next month. But your misfortune is approaching and you won't be able to wait until next month. How about this? This master has a magic weapon that can help you avoid three lives and deaths."
In case of disaster, you can please go back and wear it on your body, and come back to see me in a month." He then said to the young lama, "Go and take the Three Lotus Glaze in my treasure bag and give it to this donor."
The young lama said, "Three Lotus Glazes? Master, you can't give this thing away!"
The fifth-level master said, "I think he is a destined person, why can't I send him as a gift?"
The young lama had no choice but to do as he was told. He took out a glass pendant, the size of a thumb, with three lotuses carved on it. It looked crystal clear. The fifth-level master took it, put the three lotuses on Fan Xiaodao's neck, and asked Fan Xiaodao
After the name and birth date, he recited a Sanskrit mantra.
After a while, he felt exhausted and waved his hand to Fan Xiaodao, "Donor, please go back first!" Then he sat down on the futon and closed his eyes to rest.
Fan Xiaodao walked out of the room.
The little lama followed and said to Fan Xiaodao, "Donor, please stay!"
Fan Xiaodao asked, "What else can I do?"
The young lama said, "This Three Lotus Glaze is a magic weapon in our Jiuzhuan Temple. Although you are destined to our temple, you are not giving it to me for free. You have to leave some money for incense."
Fan Xiaodao asked, "How much?"
After what happened last time, the little lama didn’t say any oblique words like just letting things happen, and said, “Thirty taels!”
"Thirty taels? Just a piece of colored glaze?" Fan Xiaodao shouted, "I passed by a glaze shop just now. The same style, but only one tael of silver."
The little lama said, "One tael of silver, that's the cost. The value of this glass lies in the fact that the master recited this mantra for you!"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Then I don't want it anymore!"
"It's okay, your birth date and birth date have been sealed in glass by the guru. If you throw them away at will, I'm afraid it will bring death to the benefactor!"
Fan Xiaodao repeatedly reminded him to be careful and not to fall into their trap, but unexpectedly, he still fell into their trap!
