Chapter 637 Three Sticks of Incense

Chapter 637 Three Sticks of Incense
Offering incense to sesame oil money?

In fact, at the beginning, offering incense didn’t require money, but I don’t know when it started, and offering incense became a business, and some people were even willing to spend tens of thousands, or even 10,000+, in order to compete for the top incense sticks.

This is true of Taoism, and even more so of Buddhism.

Thinking about it carefully, this is really confusing. Is it possible that the ancestors were burned with paper and wax, and they also had to be inlaid with gold and jade?
If it's useless, it's all for nothing.

But if it's really useful, wouldn't the billions of Ming coins at every turn inflate the underworld?

Sincerity leads to spirit, a piece of banknotes entrusted with feelings is far more effective than burning a carload of ghost notes!
One stick of incense is [-]. It sounds like if you burn this stick of incense, you will be protected by gods and Buddhas, but don't forget that the Buddhist scriptures say that all living beings are equal, and Chen Changqing doesn't know why the world has changed so much after more than ten years. big.

Looking at the little Taoist priest who hastily rejected him, Chen Changqing couldn't help feeling a little more emotional:

"Xiao Daoist, can you get me three sticks of incense?"

The little Taoist was stunned by Chen Changqing's words, not because of the three sticks of incense.

He looked at Chen Changqing in surprise, and then at the statue of Quanzhen Seven Sons behind him:
"The layman wants to burn incense here?"

There are many statues of gods standing in Baiyun Temple, and the most famous one is naturally the Jade Emperor.

Even if you are not a Taoist, you have heard of the name of this Great Heavenly Venerable.

In addition to Da Tianzun, the second is naturally Sanqing Lord (Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun).

In addition to the above-mentioned few, Baiyun Temple, as the Quanzhen sect, naturally has a Lu Zu.

Of course, Patriarch Wang Chongyang and the Seven Sons of Quanzhen of the other sect are also worshiped, but in Baiyun Temple, a sect with a long history that can compete with the Heavenly Master's Mansion?
I can only say that I understand everything, otherwise it would be impossible to put the statue of Quanzhen Seven Sons here.

So the little Taoist was very surprised, he didn't understand why Chen Changqing wanted to put incense on the statue here.

Chen Changqing shook his head, looked up at the statue in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "The Great Heavenly Lord is too far away, Lu Zu feels a little disrespectful, I don't know what to say about Chongyang Patriarch, after much deliberation, it's still here it is good."

The little Taoist scratched his head, his chubby face was full of doubts.

I vaguely felt that the layman's words were hidden, and there was a deep meaning hidden in them, but he couldn't understand what the other person meant, so he could only shake his head:

"The layman's words are too profound, and I can't understand them."

Chen Changqing glanced at the little Taoist priest, and he patted him on the shoulder with a smile:

"It's okay, what is important in offering incense is one's heart, little Taoist, hurry up and get the incense."

Nodding his head, the little Taoist saluted very politely and said:

"Okay layman, just wait a moment."

The little Taoist didn't understand what Chen Changqing meant, and wanted to figure it out carefully, but unfortunately, he was interrupted by Chen Changqing, and he couldn't keep up with his thoughts, so he could only regard Chen Changqing as a strange person.

Three or five minutes later, the little Taoist came back with three sticks of incense in his hand.

On the sacrificial table in front of the statue, in addition to melon and fruit offerings, there were also two ever-burning candles.

But in front of the statue, it's better not to use this joss stick to light it.

If you want to light the incense, there are usually matches next to the incense burner.

Of course, it’s okay if you pull out the lighter, it’s all normal, after all, the times are developing.

Chen Changqing lit three sticks of incense, but unlike ordinary worship, he naturally did not kneel down and kowtow three times, but stood in front of the statue for a while, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner.

And almost at the moment when the three short incense sticks were put into the incense burner?

"Boom"!
The three sticks of incense that have just been lit, and the green smoke is rising, seem to have entered a high-oxygen environment. The whole stick of incense is directly ignited, burning a raging fire, like a huge match that has been lit.

The little Taoist next to him stared straight at him.

He didn't think about ghosts and gods. The little Taoist priest is obviously a practitioner, so he naturally knows what ghosts and gods are, not to mention that his methods are actually similar to ghosts and gods in the eyes of others. What really made the little Taoist priest's eyes straight?

But the speed of burning incense is obviously abnormal!
There are thousands of thoughts in his mind, and all kinds of possibilities emerge, the little Taoist's heart sinks, probably there is some safety mistake.

The little Taoist was very flustered. Two days ago, his uncle mentioned that someone from above was going to come to Baiyun temple. He didn't know what was going to happen when he was young, but his uncle seemed very worried.

What if an accident happened at this time, or even a big trouble?

I guess it can't be good!

As for Chen Changqing who was next to him, he glanced at the little Taoist priest, then at the three sticks of incense that still had a third of the sticks left, and said faintly: "Master Daoist, the three sticks of incense you gave me seem to be a bit burnt. Hurry up?"

The little Taoist blushed, and quickly apologized to Chen Changqing:

"Layman, I'm very sorry, maybe the master of Zhixiangtang made a mistake, so I'll exchange three sticks of incense for you."

The simple little Taoist didn't think that it was Chen Changqing's problem. His thoughts were very simple, and he didn't think about biting back. Instead, he naively thought that if he was wrong, he was wrong, and he knew right and wrong in his heart.

If you have done something wrong, you should seek forgiveness from the other party!
Chen Changqing felt a little interesting, so he patted the little Taoist priest on the shoulder with a smile:

"Xiao Daoist, thank you very much."

I thought Chen Changqing would be angry, but I didn't expect this strange layman to be so talkative. The little Taoist was relieved, and at the same time he couldn't help apologizing, he said quickly:

"It was my fault, Layman, please wait a moment, I will return as soon as I go along the path."

Saying that, the little Taoist priest ran out without looking back.

While watching the little Taoist priest leave, Chen Changqing glanced at the bluestone steps not far away.

Holding the bowl in his left hand and holding a bamboo stick in his right, Xu Si, who didn't feel that the taste was heavy at all, instead tried his best to let the salted garlic juice cover the entire intestine.

Chen Changqing raised his leg and kicked:
"Let's go, don't eat."

Xu Si patted his butt, looked up at Chen Changqing:
"This is the end?"

This guy has changed a lot recently, and I don't know if he is trying to change, or if he really figured it out.

After coming out of Longhu Mountain, Xu Si had a bit of the transparency of a wise man.

This feeling, as if I understood it?
According to his current state of mind, it is estimated that he will be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm in a few years.

It stands to reason that Chen Changqing should be very happy. Old man Xu Xiang and his old man are close friends, and Xu Si is now an employee who knows everything. The stronger and better he is, the happier Chen Changqing is naturally as the boss.

But I don't know why, looking at Xu Si's current state.

Chen Changqing was inexplicably annoyed at why he had such a cheap mouth back then.

But no matter what, this is his own driver, and he can be regarded as half of his own. Chen Changqing can only shake his head:

"The explanation is a bit complicated. You probably can't understand it, but there are experts in Baiyun Temple, so they should be able to understand what I mean."

Xu Si nodded, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, he nodded with emotion, and then looked at the empty surroundings with some regret in his eyes: "Unfortunately, it's over so soon, and I plan to see more beautiful women... No, it should be called Da Sammi from the capital."

Chen Changqing rolled his eyes with a look of contempt:

"Look at your worthless appearance, who else told you to come and watch Da Sammi?"

Come to watch the girl?

This guy is also a talent!

That's what happened, but Xu Si also had something to say, and he looked at Chen Changqing with an aggrieved expression:
"I'm the driver, not the boss."

The subtext is to say that you think I want to come and watch the girl, isn't there no choice?

This made Chen Changqing speechless, he waved his hand impatiently:
"Stop mumbling, I'll go eat roast duck with me later."

Xu Si's eyes lit up, and when he came to the capital, he naturally couldn't miss the roast duck. He thought of the roast duck overflowing with oil, dipped in the sauce, and rolled with cucumbers and green onions in pancakes, just like that.

I heard there is also a fried duck rack with salt and pepper?
Just thinking of the roast duck restaurant, Xu Si's eyes couldn't help but be skeptical:
"Is there Da Sammi in the roast duck restaurant?"

Chen Changqing rolled his eyes, this guy was probably crazy about girls, so he just kicked his leg:
"What do you think of where the elders eat meat?

After eating the roast duck, I will go out for a while. Don't come back at night. I will reimburse you later until noon tomorrow. You can arrange this time yourself.

The bar street in the capital, what kind of Da Sammi do you want to see? "
