Chapter 101

Now the mountain under their feet is called Laojun Mountain.

The Taoist temple on the mountain is called Laojun Cave, also known as...

Tai Chi Palace!
There is still a long way to go up the mountain.

Not only them, but many people also walked up the mountain together.

Most of them are Taoist pilgrims.

Jiang Chengwen recalled that he had come to play in his previous life, but there was a road here at that time, it was not as dilapidated as it is now.

Laojun Cave is the largest and most important temple in the main urban area of ​​southern Yunnan.

For hundreds of years, on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, or during traditional festivals such as Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival, pilgrims pay homage to incense, tourists climb high, and the incense is very popular for a while.Cigarettes are lingering in the Taoist temple, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the mountain road.

It was not very tiring for Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing to go from downhill to uphill.

When I was about to reach the entrance of the Taoist temple, I could smell the strong smell of incense candles.

Jiang Chengwen looked at the entrance of the Taiji Palace in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

'Things are not people'

He had been there once in his previous life, but compared to the Laojun Temple he saw at that time, what he sees now is a bit dilapidated, the facilities in the hall are also somewhat rusty, and the paint on the wood is also peeling off.

There is a plaque on the small door of the temple, which reads - Shangqing Immortal World.

Standing at the door is a simple dressed 'monk', who should be the disciple of Laojun.

"Two laymen should not step on the threshold when entering the monastery. Men step with their left foot first, and women step with their right foot first."

Han Jing looked at the cultivator standing in the Taoist temple, and asked, "Is it so particular?"

The Xiaodao leader just explained: "The rules are like this."

Jiang Chengwen explained: "In the pre-Qin period, the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers required that one should not step on the threshold. There are also some folk sayings that if you step on it, it will be considered disrespectful. If you really want to explain it, there is no definite explanation."

The Taoist priest heard this and said: "The layman is very knowledgeable."

Jiang Chengwen smiled slightly, and nodded to the trail leader.

The Taoist priest looked at the man and woman in front of him and asked, "Did you two come to test the marriage?"

Jiang Chengwen was about to speak, but was interrupted by Han Jing: "Unexpected marriage, come to ask for safety."

Jiang Chengwen was a little surprised, and now he didn't understand why Han Jing came here.

The Taoist leader nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them stepped over the threshold of the Taoist temple and walked into the temple.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few big tripods in the middle, and there were incense candles burning slowly in the tripods, and green smoke rose from them and went straight to the sky.

Jiang Chengwen said: "I thought you were bringing me here to ask for a marriage lottery."

Han Jing smiled and said, "Actually, I mainly want to steal tribute fruit."

"Steal tribute fruit?" Jiang Chengwen looked at Han Jing and said, "There are so many people watching."

Looking around, there are pilgrims coming and going in the temple, and many people are worshiping on the field, and incense candles are constantly inserted into the tripod.

"Yeah, there are just too many people."

Han Jing muttered, a little disappointed.

Jiang Chengwen blinked and asked, "Why do you look disappointed? Do you really want to steal the tribute fruit?"

"Why not?"

Han Jing pursed her lips and said, "I heard from them that eating tribute fruit can make you smarter."

Jiang Chengwen reached out and tapped her on the head.

Han Jing raised her head and asked, "Why knock me?"

Jiang Chengwen couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "I really want to open it and see what's in your head."

Han Jing patted her stomach and said, "This was an accident. I should have asked if I knew it earlier. Last time I heard they said that there were not many people here, but there are so many people today, so I didn't even bother to leave this morning." Eat fruit."

"May [-]st, why are you so stupid." Jiang Chengwen said.

Han Jing sighed and said, "Isn't this unexpected?"

"Forget it."

"Let's go, let's go buy joss sticks, and ask for a peace talisman for you later."

Han Jing took Jiang Chengwen to the designated place to buy incense candles and incense paper.

Both bought a copy and came to the square holding it in hand.

After worshiping, he inserted the incense candle into the cauldron, burned all the incense paper, and then went to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist leader guarding the main hall saw the two of them and asked, "Are the two lay monks here to make a wish, to fulfill the wish? Or to ask for a lottery?"

Han Jing asked, "Peace Talisman, how much is it?"

"Five dollars."

"Two."

"it is good."

In this way, Han Jing paid ten yuan and bought two peace charms from a young Taoist priest.

Han Jing handed one of them to Jiang Chengwen and said, "It's for you, take it."

Jiang Chengwen smiled helplessly, and said, "Are you... capable?"

Han Jing said: "What about five yuan, can it not work?"

"Isn't it too hasty?"

"Then why don't you give him a light?"

Jiang Chengwen looked at the peace talisman in his palm, and then put it in his pocket.

Han Jing turned to look at the little Taoist priest, and asked, "By the way, the little Taoist priest, is the tribute fruit in your view real?"

The little Taoist who sold the peace talisman said, "It's fake, what's wrong?"

"fake!?"

Han Jing smacked her lips and replied, "It's nothing, just ask."

The Taoist leader pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "Do you want to steal the tribute fruit?"

Han Jing couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Is my performance obvious?"

The Taoist leader said: "The temple often throws tribute fruits, many of them have been stolen in the past few days, and now they are not real, so don't even think about it, Layman."

"what……"

Han Jing was a little disappointed, and turned to look at Jiang Chengwen.

Jiang Chengwen patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay, come back next time after letting go."

Little Daoist: "..."

He coughed and said: "The two lay Buddhists should be partners. Why don't you try to get a marriage lottery? Don't think about stealing the tribute fruit. You won't become smarter if you eat it."

Han Jing said: "However, if marriage is something that can be decided by asking for a lottery, then what's the point?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "The layman's words are correct, but most of the people who come to ask for a lottery now have the mentality of playing. If it is the lottery, why not do it? How many people will always miss it."

Han Jing hesitated after hearing the words of the Taoist priest.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Chengwen and asked, "Why don't you try?"

Jiang Chengwen said: "In my opinion, meeting you is a lottery, but if you want to ask, then try it."

Han Jing couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this.

She pursed her lips and smiled, happy in her heart.

Then he said: "Then try it and see if it is signed."

…………

Two people sat and knelt in the tuanfu.

"Clang, clang..."

The sticks in the shaking bamboo tube kept coming forward, and the most prominent one fell down first.

"Clap."

The bamboo stick fell to the ground, and Han Jing reached out to pick it up.

【39 lots】

"I'll get the lottery later," Jiang Chengwen said.

Han Jing nodded and said, "You dog, you beat you."

He picked up the bamboo tube, closed his eyes and shook the bamboo tube after three prostrations.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

"Clap."

Jiang Chengwen held it in his hand and took a look.

[One hundred and three lots]

The two got up and walked to the place where the sign was released.

Jiang Chengwen said: "I also ask the Taoist priest to help you untie the lottery."

Then handed the lottery to the Taoist leader.

"You're welcome."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Two yuan, one solution."

"..."

------

Broken bowl.
