AWB Chapter 145 Burning Incense and Worshipping Buddha
Chapter 145 Burning Incense and Worshipping Buddha
Chanjing Temple, the largest temple in Beili City.
The incense is very popular, and many wealthy people like to burn incense, worship Buddha and donate incense oil.
Sometimes, they would even stay in the temple for ten days or half a month, praying quietly and asking the gods and Buddhas to protect their families and their children to be safe and happy.
Before the end of the world, Jiangling would basically go to the temple on the first day of every year, even if it was so crowded that there was no room to burn incense.
Just walking around, looking around, and listening to the Buddha's voice seems to be comfortable.
In their city, it is said that the first incense burned on the first day of every year is only by the rich.
So, for many things, if you believe it, it exists; if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist.
The key lies in your own beliefs, no need for excessive explanation.
Shen Yinyun spoke rapidly beside him.
“It is said that there is an enlightened monk in Chanjing Temple who can know the past, the future, and major events in the world.
However, there are very few people who can allow him to meet in person.
I heard that so far only the martial arts leader Xiao Heshan has discussed Buddhism with him.
Even the city lord donated a large sum of money but still couldn't see him."
Jiang Ling: "Oh, that's pretty cool."
Shen Yinyun pursed his lips, "That's right."
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
They don't need to see any great monks, they just want to go for a stroll and kill time.
This time, An Yi and An San drove there together.
There are four adults and two children in one carriage. It's okay, not crowded, and the carriage is big enough.
We drove at a constant speed all the way. I didn’t expect that there were so many people going to Chanjing Temple on the first day of the new year.
An hour later, when we were almost at Chanjing Temple, we were stuck in a traffic jam.
They had no choice but to find a place to park the carriage and then walk.
You can also buy some snacks along the way and eat them while walking.
Suddenly, a group of people came from behind and pushed the pedestrians on the road to both sides, making a road in the middle.
Then, a gorgeous carriage was seen passing by quickly.
Everyone was pushed and was very angry, and was about to curse.
As a result, someone exclaimed.
"That's the City Lord's carriage. Just forget it and stop making trouble."
"So what if they're from the City Lord's Mansion? Can they just push people around casually?"
"Now that everyone has passed, you're still crying and making a fuss. Will anyone pay attention to you?"
"Forget it, forget it. It's New Year's Day. Be happy. Otherwise, the new year will be full of misfortunes."
"Yeah, yeah, it's okay to let them go on the first day."
"Okay, I'll listen to everyone and be more generous on the first day of the new year. Happy New Year, everyone."
A group of people who were being pushed talked to each other and successfully convinced themselves.
Not arguing with the City Lord's Mansion is all for the sake of a better life.
Jiang Ling and the others were stunned.
This group of people are talented and quite funny.
Jiang Ling suddenly thought, someone from the City Lord’s Mansion?
It really doesn't seem that good.
Can we meet on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
I hope it's not that rude girl.
Follow the crowd all the way to the temple.
There is a towering tree in the temple, reaching into the clouds.
It is said to be thousands of years old and is a very famous "wishing tree".
Almost everyone who comes to the temple, regardless of gender, age or status, makes a wish and hangs a wish plaque.
This is also the purpose of Shen Yinyun coming here.
Jiang Ling felt that since he was already here, it would be a bit weird if he didn't hang one.
He doesn't seem to have any wishes, and he works hard to realize his wishes.
He never asked gods or Buddhas to help him achieve anything.
Here, he has a partner, children, brothers, friends and money.
It seems that I really don’t have any wishes anymore, so I can’t be greedy.
If you are greedy, you will often end up with nothing.
Looking at Yue Qianli, he seemed a little longing.
Forget it, just satisfy him.
So, like Shen Yinyun, he bought two wooden signs.
One describes a family that is peaceful, happy, and blissful.
A child who writes grows up healthily.
Then let Yue Qianli hang it at the highest point.
I saw An Yi and An San standing there motionless.
"Anyi, Ansan, why don't you go buy a wooden plaque and make a wish?"
An Yi: "Sir, we don't have any wishes to make."
An San: "Yeah."
"Why not? Aren't you all single? Why don't you wish to find a good partner?
Do you want to be single forever?"
An Yi: "Sir, we won't be looking for a partner."
An San also nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Ling was a little curious, "Is there a rule that Secret Guards cannot get married?"
The two secret guards shook their heads at the same time to indicate no.
"That's right. Since you don't have one, why not buy a wooden plaque and make a wish? You won't be reluctant to spend money, will you?"
I have to say, the truth about Jiangling has been revealed.
An Yi and An San felt that making a wish was a waste of money and they would never do such a ridiculous thing.
These are things women like to do, and real men don’t need to make wishes.
However, they only dared to complain silently in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
Not only will he be beaten by the young master, but he will also be beaten by his master.
Jiang Ling looked at them in surprise and waved to Yue Qianli.
"Student Yue, your two secret guards are too stingy. They don't even want to spend the money for making a wish."
Yue Qianli glanced at them and said, "Then let them stay single forever. No one will like such stingy people."
Of course he knew what these two people were thinking, but he let them go. It was New Year's Day and it was not good to fight.
Let’s talk about it in a few days.
Seeing the look in their master's eyes, they knew it was over.
The master is very vindictive and he will torture them twice as hard during training.
So, the two of them quickly ran to buy a wooden plaque, wrote on it hastily, and hung it on the wishing tree.
The two children also paid for it themselves, but the little one couldn't write many words, so they had to ask Yue Qianli to help write it and hang it on the tree.
Only then did he happily walk beside them, and when there were many people around, he would hold her in his arms.
Children are young, and they are afraid that the things will be squeezed out or lost accidentally, so they will cry.
Several people went to the main hall again.
In the center of the main hall, there is a huge golden Buddha statue, looking down at all living beings with kind eyes.
The devout men and women who knelt before the Buddha worshiped him with awe and devotion.
Almost everyone wants the blessings of gods and Buddhas to help their wishes come true.
But how many people can achieve it?
Who knows.
However, at this moment, everyone believes it.
Outside the main hall, incense was burning and smoke was spreading.
Jiang Ling did not kneel down, but just stood there and looked into the eyes of the Buddha statue quietly for a while.
No one disturbed him. After they finished their worship, they waited for him beside them.
After a moment, Jiang Ling reacted.
Is he concentrating?
I was a little dazed and couldn't remember what I was thinking.
He shook his head and walked to the place where he could donate money.
Take out one thousand taels of silver notes and donate them as a blessing for your children.
Shen Yinyun also went and donated two hundred taels.
Only then did he leave the Main Hall.
They were preparing to have a vegetarian meal, so they walked to the left.
As soon as I walked away, a monk from the temple walked into the hall from the other direction.
Sensing something, he smiled in the direction Jiang Ling and the others left.
"Amitabha, good, good, good."
