reset life

Chapter 24

There are no scenic spots in Li Dong's hometown, but there is a Taoist temple in Maoshan, a neighboring county, which is said to have a history of 2000 years. The next day, Li Dong drove Xie Wansheng to visit.

In 93, the people of the Celestial Dynasty were still struggling for their own food and clothing. If there was nothing else to do, not many people had the leisure time to burn incense and worship Buddha.This Taoist temple has not been overhauled and specially repaired like later generations, but only a gravel road has been built directly to the top of the mountain.

Li Dong and Xie Wansheng went there after breakfast.The distance is very short, it will arrive in 8 minutes, and the car has been driving to the top of the mountain.In the winter morning, the sun rises late, and the ground is only exposed after [-] o'clock. Under the sunlight, the mountain is surrounded by water and mist, and the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is like a fairyland.This time was relatively early, not many people came, and people did not speak loudly, and the entire mountaintop was shrouded in silence.Those who come to worship the mountain are a few local old people, who are very pious, and basically climb up the mountain from the foot of the mountain.Among them was an old man in his seventies and eighties, who had been crutched up and down, and was still supported by two juniors, insisting on knocking every step.

Seeing that Xie Wansheng was staring at the old man intently, Li Dong said: "People here come to Maoshan to worship. There is a rule that if you want to come, you have to come for three years without interruption, otherwise it will not be effective. If you want to ask, you have to kneel down from the mountain to the temple. On the top of the mountain, you have to do it yourself. Even if the old man has limited mobility, the younger generation can’t do it for him, so he can only follow. This is generally paid attention to by the elderly, and the younger ones don’t believe it. You see, his two grandchildren don’t kowtow.”

Xie Wansheng asked: "Is what you asked for effective?"

No one in Li Dong's family has come to pay respects, and he didn't believe in any religion in his previous life, so he really didn't pay attention to this.

"I don't know, it's said to be quite spiritual, but the locals only come to ask for something, typical cramming."

As he said that, Li Dong looked at Xie Wansheng and smiled, Xie Wansheng was puzzled: "I didn't hug Buddha's feet temporarily, why are you laughing at me?"

"There is another saying in Maoshan that has been widely circulated. It is called Maoshan Bodhisattva who is far away but not close. Like a sea market, there are many people who come here."

Xie Wansheng paid attention to his surroundings, and sure enough, more than half of them spoke with foreign accents, and some of them were from Haishi. He shook his head: "It's interesting."

There are small stalls on the roadside at the entrance of the temple selling incense burning supplies, but it is strange that basically every stall sells rings, not real gold or silver, but copper rings coated with gold, and even yellow iron sheets.

When Li Dong saw the ring, he thought of something, smiled mischievously, and pulled Xie Wansheng to a stall surrounded by many people, while whispering: "You will pester the stall owner later, and bargain with him more."

Although Xie Wansheng was puzzled, he followed what Li Dong said and participated in the bargaining with the people next to him. As he was talking, he saw Li Dong quickly took two copper rings and stuffed them into his pocket from the corner of his eyes.Xie Wansheng hurriedly looked up at the stall owner and found that the stall owner didn't pay attention to Li Dong at all. (You are dressed so well, you are so handsome, and you are so dignified, who treats you as a thief?)

After Li Dong succeeded, he watched the others and the stall owner come and go leisurely, and then pulled Xie Wansheng down, "Let's go, there's nothing to see, it's not real, just a copper ring."

Hearing this, the stall owner turned to Li Dong and yelled, "What are you talking about with iron and copper rings? They have all been opened. They are rich. Don't believe me, young man."

Li Dong didn't argue, and echoed: "Yes, it's all stained, and we'll come back after we finish burning the incense."

When the two left the stall, Li Dong happily took out two copper rings and gave them to Xie Wansheng. "Come on, just grab two, and you wear one."

Xie Wansheng held the ring in a daze, what do you mean?Give yourself a ring?With a net worth of tens of millions, if you don’t buy the real thing, you still steal copper and give it away?

Couldn't help squinting at Li Dong with his eyes full of resentment, he didn't take me seriously. "This also needs to be stolen?"

Li Dong laughed loudly: "The Maoshan ring must be stolen to be effective. This is the custom of Maoshan!"

Li Dong pulled Xie Wansheng and turned around to look at the people in front of the stall. Sure enough, there were many people who stole, and those who were caught were not embarrassed.Except for the ring, they don't steal anything else. If anything other than the ring is stolen, the stall owner will immediately curse people fiercely.

Wearing the ring in his hand up to his little finger, (the ring is too small, so he can only wear that), Xie Wansheng smiled and said: "Since it is effective, you can't throw it away, so you can wear it too."

During the heyday of Maoshan Taoist temples, there were 257 Taoist temples in Maoshan.Later, with the change of dynasties, many Taoist temples were melted in the smoke of war.Among them, the Hanyuan Temple, located at the east foot of Maodong, was approved to open in 1993.When Li Dong and Xie Wansheng came, the Taoist temple had not yet been approved. The building survived the war. Compared with the grandeur of the later reconstruction, Li Dong prefers the present. The quaint blue-gray, and the traces of the war are all exposed to the world. Silently telling the profound history.

Taoist temples look similar to temples from the outside, but what they worship inside is different from Buddhism. The temples worship Sakyamuni, Maitreya Buddha, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. .There are also gods like the 18 Arhats in Buddhism. These gods correspond to the 12 zodiac signs. It is said that it is very spiritual to pray to the corresponding gods according to your zodiac signs.

Li Dong is a cow, so he kowtowed in front of the zodiac corresponding to the cow, and kowtowed his parents' zodiac.Xie Wansheng also kowtowed all the zodiac signs of himself and his family. Li Dong and Xie Wansheng are not religious, but they always feel at ease when they kowtow.

The Taoist temple is built on a mountain wall. The last time the Taoist temple entered the house was on the side of the mountain wall. There is a row of wooden corridors next to the wall. You can look down at the fence, and the bottom is vertical to the foot of the mountain. Those who have a fear of heights will not be able to stand stably at all. If there is no support, it will fall in one fell swoop.In winter, when the temperature is low in the morning, when the sun comes out, the water vapor evaporates and the sun shines, the mist surrounding the mountains shows several colors.Standing in the corridor and looking at the foot of the mountain, it seems that I also want to ride the wind.

Standing in the corridor and looking at the scenery is a feast for the eyes, but on the top of the mountain in winter, the wind is blowing so that you are uncommonly cold. Li Dong shrank his neck and fought several cold wars.

Xie Wansheng took Li Dong's hand and put it to cover it: "It's too cold here, let me walk around."

Li Dong's mouth was trembling, and he wanted to speak awkwardly, so he could only nod his head.

Xie Wansheng took Li Dong's hand and came to the east of the Taoist temple. There is a small garden here, and the temperature of the corridor is two levels higher. There are buildings blocking the north and west, and there is no wind. The sun is warm on the body. Dong came over slowly, and the two sat down on a stone stool.The surrounding area is very quiet, with occasional pilgrims passing by, and not far from Li Dong, there are a few elderly people sitting there, talking softly.

The two of them leaned on the stone chair without wanting to move, enjoying this peaceful time.Not long after, a Taoist priest in his 40s came towards the two of them, stopped in front of the two of them, and said in surprise: "You two have good faces. I have rarely seen you like this since I know how to look. It's a sign of great wealth."

Li Dong became interested.He knows Xie Wansheng's life in the next 20 years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is blessed and expensive.But what about myself?Can he see something strange?

"Master Daoist, I look very rich?" Li Dong was a bit vicious, he sent aliens back to 20 years ago like this, can the old Taoist see it?

The middle-aged Taoist touched his bare chin, Samsara glanced at the two of them, and Fang nodded again: "That's right, both of them are blessed people, I read it right." At least I have learned more than ten years from the master. Years old, his face is still recognizable.

Li Dong smirked, Xie Wansheng didn't take it seriously, the two of them dressed up and spoke well, no one would think that they were unhappy, fortune-telling and fortune-telling usually look at the appearance and temperament, and then talk Mongolian.

The Taoist was a little annoyed when he saw that they didn't take him seriously. I've studied it for more than ten years, and although I kept drinking half a bucket of water for my master, this simple face-to-face made people suspicious, and it hurt my self-esteem too much!

"I'm just doing it out of interest, and I'm doing a photoshoot for people. I never take money, and I do that bluffing thing. Believe it or not."

"Then look at me, what kind of person will I marry in the future?" Xie Wansheng wanted to see what the Taoist would make up.

The Taoist raised his small eyes and looked at Xie Wansheng carefully for a few times. His face seemed to be troubled, and he made up his mind. Just as he was about to talk to Xie Wansheng, when he saw Li Dong next to him, his small eyes widened and he looked at the two of them several times. The hands in the sleeves were pinched complicatedly. In the cold winter, the Taoist priest's head seemed to be sweating.Finally, he sighed, "Pindao has limited knowledge and is not good at learning skills. Hey, the master is right. I am really half-baked. I will continue to retreat tomorrow!"

After the Taoist finished speaking, he didn't look at the two of them, nor turned his head back to the way he came from.

Li Dong was baffled and didn't understand why the Taoist priest went crazy.Xie Wansheng saw all the actions of the Taoist priest just now, and his expression seemed to see that his marriage was not going well. Why did Mao notice that Li Dong's expression changed, and why did he sweat profusely at the end?Can it be said that my future life partner is related to Li Dong?

Not far away, the middle-aged Taoist muttered as he walked: "It's strange, the two men are actually husband and wife, but I have never heard that men can get married!"

Daoist!China does not have it, but it does not mean that foreign countries do not have it. The country has been open for nearly 20 years, why haven't you looked at the world yet!

As the sun rises higher and higher, more and more people come to the Taoist temple. The tranquility is broken, and the stalls in front of the Taoist gate are bustling with business.Li Dong, Xie Wansheng and the two saw that there were more and more people around, and couldn't sit still any longer. They turned around the place where the Taoist temple hadn't been, and drove down the mountain. They saw a game restaurant by the roadside, and went there for dinner. The cooking is not very good, but fortunately, they are all authentic wild game. After ten years, you will not be able to eat authentic game. They are all home-raised.After dinner, the two returned to Dong Li's house.
