PS: During the new book, please recommend, collect, click, reward, like, please be on the list, please...

Early the next morning, Han Yi and Xiao Yun said to go out to make money, and then went out with Han Dashan's broken hat.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Ono had been waiting there for a long time, and the two of them went to Tianji Temple together.

Tianji Temple is located on the hillside east of Yangzhou City. The mountain is quite large, but not high. The mountain road is very wide and it is like walking on flat ground. It is a good place. Because the temple is related to gods and Buddhas after all, it can add momentum to the mountain. However, if it is built on the top of high mountains and ridges, the ghost will go, burn incense and shine on the waist, which is too unreasonable. This place is just like building a temple and building a temple.

However, Tianji Temple is about 20 to 30 kilometers away from Meicun, and it is not close to the world when he walked with his legs. Han Yi and Ono walked about an hour before they arrived at Tianji Temple. This place is neither a major transportation road nor a place for travel. Logically speaking, there should be not many people, but there are people coming and going, and there are endless people. You don’t have to think about it and know that it is the popularity brought by Tianji Temple.

Han Yi and Ono came directly to the temple and saw the very grand Red Column gate, with people coming and going in and out in a row. In fact, just from this gate, you can know that the temple is incense is very popular.

Han Yi lowered the brim of the hat slightly and walked forward. A little novice monk in a gray monk's uniform stood in front of the door. When he saw Han Yi and Ono coming, he immediately folded his hands together and asked, "Would you like to ask the two donors, should you burn incense or ask for medicine?"

This is a bit tricky. Of course, I will burn incense when I go to the temple. I will go to the hospital if I ask for medicine. Han Yi asked back: "How about burning incense? What about asking for medicine?"

The little shaman said: "If the donor is here to burn incense, you can go directly to the front temple to burn incense. If the donor is here to ask for medicine, you can go to the backyard to worship the Bodhisattva for medicine."

It turns out that Tianji Temple is becoming more and more famous, and many people come here to see it. Based on the law that only when there is need, it is very necessary to send a small novice monk here to lead the way.

"Worship the Bodhisattva and seek medicine?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Does it be necessary to ask for medicine to go to the backyard?"

The little novice shook his head and said, "The Buddha said that all sentient beings are equal, so how can there be those cumbersome rules in this Buddhist place? Our abbot said that as long as the donor comes here with a sincere heart, you can go, stay, sit or walk."

"It's interesting."

Han Yi smiled, thanked him again, and walked in with Ono.

When I came to the temple, the Tianji Temple was quite large. There was a hall in front, with wing rooms on both sides of the left and right, and a stone path on the left to lead to the backyard. I saw people everywhere, with almost all kinds of people, including ignorant women, scholars who read poetry and books, girls with veils, successful people in gorgeous clothes, and some heroes walking in the world. It was very lively.

If this is a game, just this traffic, it would be embarrassing to go out if you don’t cheat a hundred or eighty-stop man in a day!

Han Yi muttered to himself, and first came to the main hall of the Qian Temple with Ono. He saw a plaque hanging in front of the hall gate with four large vermilion characters "Ji Shi Hall", which was very grand.

On the left and right sides of the steps, there is a large cauldron with a diameter of one meter. The two cauldrons are filled with incense and candles of all sizes, as if even a single incense can be inserted, and blue smoke is coming out. This is why the cauldron is placed outside. If it is placed in the hall, the amount of smoke will not cause people to smoke tuberculosis.

But it can also be seen from this that the incense here is so prosperous.

When I entered the hall, I saw that it was very spacious inside. A Buddha statue was in the middle, with four Bodhisattva statues on both sides. From a business perspective, this Buddha statue is like the counter in a shopping mall. The more and the less depends on the customers. If you have a large number of customers, but you only have a counter, then people have to queue up to buy things, which not only delays the customers' time, but also delays the merchant's time to make money.

There are nine bronze statues here, and six yellow pavings are placed in front of each bronze statue, which is equivalent to fifty-four people worshipping each time.

At this time, the fifty-four pavings were all over the knees, and many others stood by the bronze statue with incense and kept nodding, muttering something.

Is the most profitable deal in the world today to open a temple?

Han Yi was really scared by this person's traffic. This one had to burn more incense sticks until late.

The two of them walked around in the room, and the basic process was clear. Simply put, they bought incense and candles in a small house on the left side of the hall, and then came to the hall to worship, and finally inserted the incense and candles into the cauldron outside.

It is no different from ordinary temples.

However, this was also expected by Han Yi. It is normal to burn incense when you enter the temple and burn incense. It is also difficult to make trouble from it. Could it be that your incense can still burn flowers?

But it would be very strange to go to the temple to seek medicine.

I believe this is also the characteristic of Tianji Temple.

So the mystery is definitely still in the backyard.

So Han Yi took Ono to the backyard again. As the little novice monk in front of the door said, you can go, stay, and sit. Although many monks walked by, they had no communication with them except for performing Buddhist rituals.

But the front temple is a bit far from the backyard, so I have to walk half a stick of incense. It can be seen that Tianji Temple is really not small. The entrance to the backyard is a fan-shaped stone door. There are two small novice monks standing in front of the door, and there is also a wooden board with the words - - No noise is strictly prohibited.

Han Yi and Ono walked in so proudly, and the two little novice monks in the door just performed a Buddhist ritual without saying a word.

When you enter this door, you only feel that your vision is wide open. In front of you is an open space the size of a football field. However, at this time, the space is full of people, densely packed, and they all sit cross-legged on the ground. Most of them don’t even have a cushion. The few people also bring their own, some of them just cushions and close their eyes to meditate.

What are they doing?

Han Yi and Ono's eyes flashed with confusion, and they looked in the direction they faced. On the steps, there was a middle-aged monk sitting cross-legged, wearing a golden robe and a wisp of beard. He also had his eyes closed, and a string of Buddhas in his right hand kept tugging the Buddhas, looking very well.

Han Yi knew that this guy was probably the abbot with the magic name Jiudeng.

Next to this monk, there is the only bronze statue of Guanyin, about one meter high. The left hand is placed on the abdomen, the palm is slanted upward, the right hand is raised over the shoulder, the middle finger is slightly closed, this shape is quite familiar to Han Yi, but this bronze statue is a small figure compared to the bronze statue in the hall in front of it, and it is not of the same weight level at all.

Why are so many people visiting here, but this bronze statue is so small?

This is inevitably curious.

Han Yi felt that standing was too conspicuous because everyone was sitting cross-legged, so she pulled Ono to sit behind her, of course, her eyes were still open.

After a while, a woman got up and knelt down on the ground on the steps, bowed a lot, and bowed a lot. Each step went up, and then bowed another. There were six steps, a total of six. When we arrived on the steps, a monk next to the Abbot of Jiudeng came over and handed over three lit incense sticks. The woman took the incense and bowed in front of the bronze statue of Guanyin. She handed back the three incense sticks to the monk, and then folded his hands together and knelt down devoutly.

After the monk took the incense, he inserted it into the copper cauldron next to it. Then another monk walked out of the house. The monk was holding a wooden pallet. Han Yi couldn't see what was inside because he sat far away, but some round things could be vaguely seen, which should be elixirs or something.

Is this the magic medicine?

Han Yi muttered to himself, and saw the monk handing the tray to the woman again. After the woman nodded and took it, she held the tray high in front of the bronze statue.

What's the meaning?

Han Yi didn't understand it.

After a while, there was still no movement.

The abbot suddenly opened his eyes, sighed, and said in a sad tone: "It seems that the donor is not in a good relationship with Buddha!"

When the woman heard this, she looked disappointed.

Many people below also showed regret and shook their heads.

But the woman didn't make a fuss or make a fuss, and handed the tray back to the monk, first worshiping the Bodhisattva, then worshiping the abbot, bowed down from the steps, and left the backyard.

Because nothing happened, Han Yi has not seen any of them until now, so he can only continue to wait patiently.

Soon, the second person went up. He was a young man of the same age as Han Yi. He also knelt down and went up the steps. The process was exactly the same as the woman in front. Finally, he faced the bronze statue and held up the tray.

Suddenly, a tiny shadow in the tray flew towards the bronze statue, and it flew between the middle finger and the thumb of the right hand raised by the Bodhisattva. It turned out that the middle finger and thumb of the right hand of the bronze statue were not completely pinched, and there was still a gap in the middle, which looked like the Bodhisattva used magic power to collect pills in the tray.

An uproar sounded in the quiet courtyard, and everyone crawled and knelt down.

I saw the abbot folding his hands together and bent slightly towards the young man: "Amitabha! Congratulations to the donor for forming a good relationship with the Bodhisattva."

The young man seemed extremely excited, and he knelt down to the Bodhisattva again, and returned the gift to the abbot, muttering: "Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Abbot......!"

Han Yi, who was sitting behind, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out a thud, but immediately covered his mouth with one hand and said to himself, "Just like this little trick, I'm so embarrassed to take it out?" Fuck! If labor and capital were ordained as monks, wouldn't we be able to kill all sides? It seems that during the Tang Dynasty, our industry was still in the Chaoyang industry.

But he was not in a hurry to leave, and saw a monk coming over with a small medicine bag and handing it to the boy.

Ah? Isn’t that magic medicine in the tray?

Han Yi frowned slightly.

The boy came to the cloth bag with respect, thanked him repeatedly, and then went down the steps.

Why didn't you pay? Did you pay in advance? But if that's the case, wouldn't the woman just now give the money and the medicine hasn't been taken yet? This is too scammed.

Han Yi didn't understand this. He turned his head and saw Ono opening his clear eyes and opening his mouth to look at the bronze statue foolishly. He was so cute that he wanted someone to pinch his cheeks. Han Yi reached out and gently bucketed Ono.

Ono was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked at Han Yi blankly.
