save the bachelors

The so-called crowd gathers firewood with high flames, and in April, the old ancestral temple has already been built.

There are a total of three entrances, more than a dozen halls, and dozens of statues, which are really majestic and magnificent.

This is also the largest temple with a radius of fifty miles.

It is much bigger than the Sanguan Temple five miles away.

The Sanguan Temple has only been entered twice, and only for the Tathagata Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, which correspond to rebirth, disease, and childbirth respectively.

For the poor people, it is enough to have a place to die, live a healthy life, and have many children and grandchildren.

And Xiang Nan's ancestral temple has more functions.

The God of Wealth bestows wealth, Wenchang bestows talents, heavenly officials bless, local officials pardon sins, water officials relieve misfortunes, Cihang gives birth to children, Lei Zu eliminates evil spirits, Yama reincarnation...

In addition, with him, the "authentic" little god sitting in charge, the old ancestral temple is naturally famous.

……

April NO.15 is an auspicious day.

Xiang Nan specially held a consecration ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Ancestral Temple.

On that day, people with a radius of tens of miles rushed to join in the fun, crowding the old ancestral temple so that the wind and rain could not leak, there was a sea of ​​people, and there was a din of voices.

Everyone wants to witness with their own eyes how powerful this little fairy is.

I saw a high platform set up on the square in front of the temple, on which there were offering tables, incense offerings, burning paper, command flags, French seals, etc., which were dazzling and incomprehensible.

As soon as the morning arrived, three bangs of blunderbusses were heard, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers.

I heard someone shout, "Look at the sky!"

When everyone looked up, they saw Xiang Nan wearing a Taoist robe, fluttering leisurely, descending from the sky, like an exiled immortal descending to earth.

"Wow!!!!"

The people were all in an uproar.

They heard before that the little fairy Xiang Nan could ride the clouds and the fog, but they refused to believe it.

Now hearing is deception, seeing is believing, Xiang Nan really fell from the sky, which really opened their eyes.

Xiang Nan fell to the altar, and then the consecration ceremony began.

In "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he served as a guardian of the country and led Taoism for decades, so he naturally knew the various rituals of Taoism in detail.

Therefore, it should be done in a rigorous manner, and it really shouldn't be too easy to bluff these country bumpkins.

……

Xiang Nan took the big incense that was as thick as the mouth of the bowl, rubbed his hands together, and the big incense ignited spontaneously without fire, and the common people were dumbfounded.

Then he began to pray, "In the second year of the Republic of China, in the fourth month of the Renzi year, Yiyou, the great disciple of Honghu's ancestor, worshiping immortals and Taoism, respecting gods and offering sacrifices, setting up temples and white deer, Zongxi in the Spring and Autumn Period, disasters and disasters, and water. Drought requests...respectful rituals, without compromising their virtues. But the front is abandoned, and the side of the temple is here. Sober and reverent, the spirit will only bless you. Yongyong its degree, and the people's pleasing service..."

After reciting the prayer, Xiang Nan burned the watch to sacrifice to the heavens, as before, he poked out the burning paper with his finger, and the burning paper ignited automatically, which surprised the people again.

Then Xiang Nan took a basin of clear water and put his hands into it. In an instant, the clear water had condensed into ice.

"Blessings from the ancestors, the rain will fall everywhere!" Xiang Nan shouted loudly, then took out the ice, threw it into the air, and shattered it with a volley of palms.Then with a wave of the long sleeves, icicles splashed in all directions, one after another sprinkled on the people, which made people excited.

"It can condense water into ice, the little god is worthy of being a little god."

"Oh, it's really a fairy. The weather is so warm, and it can still turn into ice."

"Sure enough, it's Gan Lin. He really deserves to be a god. It's amazing!"

The common people praised one after another.

"Please respect God for the next session!" Xiang Nan said loudly, then sat cross-legged on the stage, and silently recited the "Huang Ting Jing".

Although there were many people present, the voice was still so clear that everyone could hear it clearly.Such an effect is naturally miraculous.

Coupled with the dense aroma of incense offerings and the melodious strings played by the band, the atmosphere of the whole scene is more sacred, solemn and mysterious.

Even if they were not believers, at this moment, their hearts were awe-inspiring, and they all shut up and stood on the spot, not daring to laugh or play anymore.

Then a person shouted loudly, "Oh, I saw a god~", "I also saw a god~", "God, god~"

Everyone in front of the high platform shouted loudly, and then they all knelt down on the ground.

The people on the periphery also yelled, "I have seen a fairy", and then they all looked up to the sky and bowed down, as if a fairy really came from the sky.

Affected by this, more people shouted "I also saw the gods", and in an instant, all the people in the audience knelt down, cheering in unison, extremely pious.

"God bless~" Xiang Nan shouted, and then Lu San, Zhang Fenglan, and other believers threw the prepared cakes to everyone.

The people followed suit one after another, bowing their heads and thanking each other.

"God back to heaven!" Xiang Nan then shouted, and saw a plume of green smoke rising straight into the sky above the high platform.

When the common people saw it, they thought that the god had gone away with the wind, and they couldn't help but kowtow again to thank him.

"Immortal, what an immortal~"

"I saw an immortal today, and I am willing to die."

"Great, I saw the gods, and the gods are still smiling at me~"

They all said.

……

The consecration ceremony ended, but the pious hearts of the people have just been ignited.

Because they saw the gods coming down to earth just now, they became very devout. After the ceremony, they went to the temple to burn incense and worship the gods and offer incense.

There was a long queue in front of Xiang Nan, and he was almost overwhelmed.

In less than half a day, more than 2000 yuan of ocean and hundreds of buckets of grain were collected, which shows the enthusiasm of the people.

And such a bountiful harvest made Lu Zilin, Bai Xing'er, Sang Laoba, Bai Shito'er and others very envious.

They don't believe in ghosts and gods, but only in profit.

They respect Xiang Nan at a respectful distance.

Although they came to this consecration ceremony, they only came to watch the excitement and did not come in to burn incense and worship gods.

For them, instead of donating money and food to the temple, it is better to eat it themselves.

Seeing that Xiang Nan collected so much money and so much food, their envious eyes turned red.

"He can really make money after a long time~" Lu Zilin looked at the white flowered ocean, and his saliva was almost drooling.

Their Laolu family worked hard for several lifetimes to earn such a little wealth.

Looking at it now, it's not as much as Xiang Nan earns in a day, it's really his grandma.

"Brother Zilin, did you see a fairy just now?" Bai Xing'er asked curiously again.

"No." Lu Zilin shook his head, "Did you see that?"

"Me neither." Bai Xing'er shook his head.

Sang Laoba and Bai Shitouer also shook their heads, but they didn't see any gods either.

"Then why did you all kneel down just now?" Bai Xing'er asked in confusion.

Lu Zilin, Sang Laoba, and Bai Shitouer were taken aback, not knowing what was going on.

Everyone knelt down just now, and they also knelt down.In fact, they were not prepared to kneel.

"Grandma, don't read it, it's too much to worry about." Lu Zilin cursed, then turned and left.

Sang Laoba, Bai Xing'er, and Bai Shitouer also followed.
