Chapter 536: Rewarding God with a Family

After listening to Miao Zhu's narration, the familiar feeling in Liu Yi's heart became stronger and stronger, and this feeling was indescribable but extremely profound! He was sure that the white shadow must have some connection to him, but now was clearly not the time to explore. I didn't say anything more, just quietly felt the breath in the mountains and forests in my heart, hoping to find the location of the white shadow, in fact, Liu Yi, who had just come out of Yushan, still had an amazing sense of smell, but now it has degraded a little.

Those pigs, cattle and sheep and other sacrificial things were carefully carried to the statue in the temple to worship, Wang Lun led Liu Mu and the others into the main hall first, but fortunately this place has been repaired several times, the hall seems very wide, otherwise Liu Yi's family is not even the family in the outer courtyard This hall is difficult to accommodate, but now dozens of people enter it is not crowded.

At this time, the temple in the eyes of Liu Yi also has a great difference from later generations, after the Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to flourish really well, especially in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Jin Dynasty, it was enshrined as the state religion in general, and Emperor Wu of Liang of the Southern Dynasty himself had to sacrifice himself to become a monk and also had a very high Buddhist attainment, so there were "four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings in the smoke and rain." There are also many temples in Nanjing today, and there is a famous monk temple ---- Jiming Temple!

As for Taoism in China since ancient times, it was only when the Sui and Tang dynasties arose, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan once claimed to be Li Er, the development of these religions has a great relationship with the support of the first, and it is in the process of prosperity that the spiritual system of their sect has spread to the people, and its characters are complex, and the pattern is as complex as if it is a world of its own.

At the end of the Han Dynasty where Liu Yi lived, the god system was far from developing to the extent of later generations, people believed that there was a god in the sky, and there was a water god in the water, and this mountain was naturally the mountain god. This statue is two zhang high, but it looks like an old man in official uniform, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, especially the beard under Han, which is afraid to be a zhang long, which is very close to the image of mortals.

Wang Lun first stepped forward and knelt down in front of the statue and muttered to himself, others could not escape Liu Yi's ears if they couldn't hear clearly, his sense of hearing was not as degraded as his sense of smell, but became more and more sensitive. Wang Lun was introducing the people who came to worship today with the mountain god, and mentioning Liu's mother, especially Liu Yi, was even more appreciative, and the tone in his words was also extremely pious, this discovery made Liu Yi greatly dispelled the idea that this person was making up a story to use this temple to collect money.

After a while, he kowtowed three times, and then got up and took three long incense sticks from the hands of the believers on the side and lit them and handed them to Liu's mother, and then ordered them twice and handed them to Liu Yi and Cai Yan respectively, the expressions on their faces were so focused that the three of them took it over from the right color, at this time Liu's mother was in the front, Liu Yi and Cai Yan accompanied the mother on the left and right, and the back row was Zhen Mizhen Liu Huan and others. Under the smoke of incense, there was a solemn and peaceful atmosphere in the hall.

Liu Yi was a maverick in his later life, and he had dabbled in the teachings of various religions, and those gods also had their own interpretations in his heart, and of course he was very respectful of other people's religious beliefs (what Amaterasu is another matter!). Although it is rare to do any bowing ceremony, but the situation in front of him is not ordinary, Liu's mother should kneel down first, how can he, a son, stand? Thinking in his heart that this is filial piety to his mother, if this mountain god can really bless the people, it is also worthy of him to express a certain respect, so he also kneels down with his mother.

Mother Liu's devotion to the gods is not under Wang Lun and others, after kneeling down, she prayed without distractions, the old lady and the general and the lady are like this, a cadre of the family is also kneeling behind them, the hall suddenly knelt down a piece of black pressure, and the foreign family members who were not allowed to enter the hall knelt in the square, Cai Yan was usually a kind person and a good family, but it was extremely rigorous, and hundreds of people unanimously prayed that the entire mountain temple was silent and quiet.

Liu Yi didn't squint at this time, anyway, everyone is here, Ling Buling said it for the time being, but also silently made a wish in his heart, what he asked for was extremely simple, his family was healthy, and the wind and rain were smooth! As for the struggle for hegemony in the world and the destruction of the heroes, it is not possible to rely on praying to God and worshiping Buddha, but can only work hard to achieve this goal step by step, and family affection is an extremely precious wealth for him in this world.

This prayer is about tea time, Liu Mu and Wang Lun generally kowtowed three times before inserting the long incense in their hands in the incense burner, and then returned to the original position and kowtowed three more times before standing up, Liu Yi is also a kind of example, a program to do the same score, see Liu Mu nodded secretly, although his son sometimes acts unconventionally, but filial piety has nothing to say.

"I heard that the old fairy spent a lot of money on building bridges and paving roads in the nearby townships a few months ago, and the old man admired it in his heart and mind, Yan'er!" After Liu's mother got up, Wang Lun came to the front again, she smiled slightly and said very politely, and then called her daughter-in-law around her, this mountain temple is very famous in Youzhou, and there are not a few donors on weekdays, in addition to the necessary expenses for maintaining the temple, Wang Lun used many of them on the roads and bridges in the surrounding countryside, and also won a greater reputation for this place and himself, looking at the ancient times this bridge paving is a great good deed in people's hearts.

Cai Yan heard the words and gave a look to the maid beside him, and the little maid immediately ran outside and whispered to Liu Hu, and soon three or four people walked in with trays, these trays were covered with red silk, and they were not asked about silver coins, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was not much circulation of official silver in the market, and more were copper coins, but for the General's Mansion, the direct use of gold and silver was not too exaggerated, after all, it was much more convenient than copper coins.

"Old fairy, this is a piece of the old lady's heart, to show the sincerity of the gods, please accept it." When the family came up, Cai Yan looked at his mother, and saw that she nodded slightly before he said to Wang Lun. She saw that Mother Liu was expressing a kind of respect, there was a difference between the young and the old, but the head of the Liu family was Cai Yan, and everything in the outside world was taken care of by her, and Mother Liu couldn't be more at ease with this daughter-in-law.

"Oh, the old lady has already given a generous gift last time, plus the alms from near and far, there is still a lot left in the temple, and this year's annual use is enough, how can you accept it again?" Wang Lunping has accepted many gifts, his own life is quite simple, and he is open-minded to these silver things, but he is still a little shocked when he looks at the Liu family's shot this time, except for the last tray is copper coins, the other three are all real money and silver, and it is more than enough to cover a few temples.

"The old body knows that the old gods are not good at this, and they are not spent in the temple or to help the neighbors on weekdays, but you see that the old body and the whole family are here today, it will make it difficult for many people to enter, and the heart is really uneasy, these silver money old immortals will expand the temple a little more It is also good, if there are people who come from afar to ask for God, it is good to give them a sharp point, it is also the benefit of the temple, as for the craftsman's matter, the old fairy does not have to worry, Yi'er!" Cai Yan saw that her mother was happy, so she naturally wanted to make the scene full, if the general's mansion was stingy, others would not talk about her husband behind her back? Liu's mother was very satisfied when she saw that her daughter-in-law had arranged it properly, and then called her son after speaking to Wang Lun.

"Yes, Elder Wang, don't worry, when you need to start construction, you send someone to my house, Liu will make proper arrangements, since it is my mother's intention, Elder Wang, you don't have to refuse." Mother said that Liu Yi should not be, what is he doing with so much money? It takes as much as you can make your family happy, so he didn't hesitate to say to Wang Lun, he always felt in his heart that calling people old immortals was a bit of a god, Wang Lun was too old, but this Wang Lao was extremely appropriate.

"The old lady, the general and the lady have a compassionate heart, the old man admires in his heart, but it is disrespectful, the old lady came today, and the old man also made some arrangements, please go to the inner courtyard to serve tea first, and please eat at the place at noon." As soon as Liu Yi spoke, Wang Lun naturally would not refuse, and asked people to accept the money and settle it properly, and then said to Liu's mother.

"Hehe, the last time the old man came here to drink the old fairy's cloud tea, it is very extraordinary, your mountain dishes are light and appetizing, it just so happens that the old body still has something to ask the old fairy, so it will be disturbed, Yan'er, you let the family go down the mountain for the time being, don't delay others to come here to worship God, I have something to discuss with the old fairy, you and Yi'er will have tea in the outer hall first." Mother Liu smiled when she heard this, she wanted to ask about Wang Lun's marriage of Liu Yi, since her son said that Xiu'er was too close, then she would find him a farther one, but she had to ask the old fairy what kind of woman was blessed.

Cai Yan agreed and went out to arrange, except for the maid and more than ten family members, the others were led by Liu Hu to go down the mountain to wait, and the old lady was accompanied by a few maids to follow Wang Lun to the backyard guest hall, and after Cai Yan arranged a thing to turn around, there was a believer in the temple to ask the general and his party to serve tea in the backyard, but Liu Yi obviously did not have much interest in drinking tea, and when he went up the mountain, he felt that the surrounding forests were stacked with green scenery, and there was still more than an hour before noon, if a tour in this mountain was also a happy thing, He immediately declined the invitation of the believer.

This temple is surrounded by the guards led by Hong Biao who are responsible for guarding, presumably the safety of the husband does not have to worry, and he has been thinking of Yushan in his heart, and now there are quite similarities here, Cai Yan naturally will not sweep the husband's Yaxing, and immediately took the sisters and the second daughter and others to follow Liu Yi out of the temple gate, and walked to the forest path on the west side to the mountain.

I'm sorry.,There's something wrong with the regular release.,This one is over.,Apologize.。
