Chapter 1589 Counterfeit
"Several people, the marriage lottery at our Huaguang Temple is extremely effective. The so-called sincerity will lead to success. If you are not sincere, it will be useless even if you kneel in front of the Buddha for three days and three nights." The old man said, "If you really If you sincerely ask for a signature, then stop talking nonsense. If you are not sincere, but just have the idea of giving it a try, please feel free to do so."
"Master, of course we are sincere." The middle-aged couple said hastily.
"Okay then, before you ask for a lottery, you have to offer incense to the Buddha. Among them, Guanyin Bodhisattva is in charge of marriage, and your focus is to worship her." The old man said, "We have three types of incense here, one is eighty-eight, One is eight hundred and eighty-eight, and the other is eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight..."
"Is it better to have a higher price?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Of course." The old man said, "The eight thousand eight incense sticks have been consecrated by eminent monks. They are the most effective and can best show your sincerity."
"If you give more money, you can show your sincerity, but if you give less money, you will not be sincere? Cut! Isn't it all for making money? Have you been consecrated by an eminent monk? Do you have an eminent monk here?" After hearing the price quoted by the old man, the young man Qin whispered in her heart. But because she had been warned before, she didn't dare to speak out.
"Then give us eight thousand and eight." The middle-aged man said indifferently. It seems that this couple is not short of money.
"By the way, we still have 88,000 incense here..." the old man continued. Recalling that yesterday, Aishwarya bought 88,000 incense sticks, and finally transferred him 880,000. I thought to myself, if I can earn another 880,000 today, wouldn’t it be a fortune?
"My God, I'm really lucky this month!"
"No, let's enjoy the incense of Baqian." However, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, as if he was not interested in Baqian. It seems that not everyone is as rich as Aishwarya, and there is no difference between 880,000 and 880,000 in her eyes. Not everyone, like her, dedicates her whole body to my Buddha.
"Okay then, I'll prepare incense for you now." The old man said without forcing.
Then the old man took out the incense that had been prepared and handed it to the three of them. Under his guidance, the family of three began to kneel down to worship Buddha. Xiaoqin was reluctant at first, but because her parents were in front of her, she had to worship together.
When praying to Buddha, the old man was still thinking: Should I also bring a basin that day, and let the pilgrims clean their hands before worshiping? In this way, an additional cleaning fee can be charged.
After the worship, the old man took out a lottery bucket and asked the woman to draw lots. After the woman shook it a few times, a bamboo stick fell off.
"Three, please come here with me to solve the lottery." The old man said. He led the family of three to the corner of the main hall, then picked up the bamboo stick just now, and began to look at it.
"Master, what about the lottery we drew? Is it the upper lottery or the lower lottery?" Before the old man could speak, the couple couldn't wait to ask.
"Not good! Three benefactors, you drew a lottery!" The old man frowned and said, "It says in the sign that it is very difficult for your daughter to find a partner. It will take at least five years before her favorite person will come." Appeared. Moreover, there are still many twists and turns in this marriage, and the two cannot grow old together."
"Five years later!?" The woman suddenly became anxious, "Five years later, my daughter will be almost forty years old. And she won't be able to grow old together, so isn't she finished?"
"That's what the signature says, and I can't help it," said the old man.
"Master, is there a way to resolve it?" the middle-aged man asked.
well! Another old trick! After hearing this, Xiaoqin thought to herself. However, because she has not found a partner now, it seems that her breathing is wrong, so she dare not speak at all.
"Yes." The old man said, "The solution is that you should do more good deeds, accumulate more merit, and accumulate blessings for your descendants. Of course, donating more money to the merit box of the temple is also a way of accumulating blessings. Because you have money , the Buddha’s incense can flourish, and even reshape the golden body.”
"Donate, just donate. Anyway, if our daughter is unhappy, no matter how much money we have, it's useless." The middle-aged man said.
...
At this moment, in the middle of the main hall, the three-meter-high Shakyamuni Buddha statue moved unconsciously. The drooping golden eyelids suddenly opened, and from the eyes, a divine light that ordinary people could not see shot out. This divine light instantly enveloped the entire hall.
The divine light completely isolated the main hall from the outside world, and the Daxiong Hall suddenly became another small world, a small world. The old man suddenly lost his mind, and fell asleep on the table without knowing why. The middle-aged man and middle-aged woman also fell to the ground after struggling twice.
"Dad, Mom, what's the matter with you?" Only Xiaoqin was still conscious. After seeing her parents sleeping, she hurriedly shook their bodies and called out anxiously. I was still worried about whether my parents were too tired yesterday to cause them to faint, and I was even more worried about whether I made them faint from anger.
"Faith girl Xiaoqin..." At this moment, a voice like Huang Zhong Dalu rang in her ears.
"Who is it?" Xiaoqin asked strangely, turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw an incredible scene, the lips of the Buddha statue in the middle seemed to be moving.
"My God, the Buddha actually spoke? Am I hallucinating?" Xiaoqin rubbed her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and she felt as if she was in a dream.
"Don't doubt, it's me who is talking to you." The lips of the Shakyamuni Buddha statue in the middle moved twice again.
It is really the Buddha who is speaking! ? Xiaoqin was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground. At this moment, the supernatural event she saw with her own eyes instantly overturned the worldview she had lived for thirty years.
She had read a lot of books before, learned Newton's laws, and learned science. A mansion of scientific concepts has long been built in my mind. In this mansion, there are no gods or ghosts in the world. But now, her edifice of scientific concepts collapsed at once.
"Xiaoqin, a believer, didn't you just say that your parents worshiped me because they were engaging in feudal superstition?" The Buddha continued, "You still said that you don't believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas in this world, and that I can't help you get rid of it?" Shan... now you should believe it, because this Buddha is right in front of your eyes."
There seemed to be a bit of complacency in the Buddha's tone.
