Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1837
One of the activities of the Chongxuguan Blessing Meeting is to show and sell special products of Luofu Mountain and surrounding towns to tourists, including health-preserving medicines and the like.

Wang Lin and the others came at an unlucky time, the lychees were already out of season, otherwise, the good lychees here would be worth eating [-] pieces.

There are many special products in Luofu Mountain, among which the three treasures of Luofu are the most famous.

But Wang Lin took a fancy to the high-quality farm rice they produced and sold locally.

It's a pity that it's a long way from the mountain, otherwise he would have to buy a few hundred catties to eat.

After visiting the special products exhibition, Wang Lin and the others entered the temple to observe the grand ceremony.

The venue for praying is in the main hall, with fences set up, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, they can only watch from the outside.

There are also some consecrated gadgets for sale on the spot.

Wang Lin and the others each bought a few.

Tourists just outside the temple, or kneel down, or bow, worship, put some money into the merit box, and the ceremony is completed.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked Wang Lindao: "Do you want to go around and see? Luofu Mountain is very big, and there are many caves and Guanyu that I haven't visited yet."

Because Wang Lin couldn't contact the outside world, he was a little worried about the company's business. Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so he said, "Come again when you have a chance! We have lunch on the mountain, and then we will go back to Huacheng."

Lin Xiaoxiao naturally had nothing to do, so he agreed.

Several people returned to their residence for lunch.

The dining hall was full of tourists.

Although the cafeteria here is open to the public, it only provides fixed-point and fixed-quantity food, so if you come late, you won't have anything to eat.

Wang Lin and the others bought food and found a place to sit down to eat.

The dining tables here are very simple, and the stools are all rectangular wooden stools. A table is also very large, and can seat more than a dozen people.

Opposite Wang Lin, sat a middle-aged layman.

Simply put, a layman is a person who practices at home. For example, Li Bai, a famous writer in the Tang Dynasty, was known as "Qinglian layman".Although he is dedicated to Taoism, he cannot become a monk due to family, career and other reasons, so he chooses to practice at home.It is different from Taoist priests who become monks.

The layman sat still, and there was no food in front of him.

Zhou Congee asked, "Comrade, did you not get any food?"

The middle-aged man said: "I have been traveling outside, and I am already ashamed."

Seeing that he was wearing a sackcloth Taoist uniform, Zhou Porridge asked, "Are you the Taoist priest? Can't you have dinner with them?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, obviously not knowing how to explain.

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "He is not a Taoist monk, but a layman practicing at home. But he also needs to take three refuges and five precepts."

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised when he heard Wang Lin's words, and started talking with Wang Lin.

It turned out that this person was 40 years old. Ten years ago, his family suffered a sudden catastrophe. When the family took the bus home during the Chinese New Year, they encountered a tragic car accident. His parents, wife and children were all killed. Only he was rescued. narrow escape.

Since then, this person has seen through the world of mortals, put an end to common things, and devoted himself to Taoism. He determined to visit famous mountains in the world, search for famous teachers, and seek the true way.

Hearing his story, Wang Lin was very emotional and sympathetic. He took out his wallet, took out a stack of banknotes, about 3000 yuan, and handed them to the other party: "Layman, we are destined to meet each other. This can be regarded as my financial support for you!"

The middle-aged man's eyebrows flashed, but his face was calm. He took the money and turned to buy food.

As soon as he got up, the seat was immediately taken by someone else.

Zhou Congee said, "Wang Lin, this man is still a Taoist! He doesn't understand manners at all."

Wang Lindao: "I have seen through life and death for a long time."

Zhou Congee said: "I can't see it all. A big man, instead of looking for a job, travels around the mountains and rivers all day long, and lives on the charity of good men and women. Can he really cultivate the Dao like this?"

Wang Lindao: "You still know how to talk about Dao? Then do you know what Dao is?"

Zhou Porridge said: "The way of the great way is also that the world is for the public, selecting the virtuous and capable, trustworthy and harmonious. Therefore, people should not only kiss their relatives, not only their sons and sons, so that the old will have a good end, the strong will be useful, and the young will be good. Those who are reserved, widowed, lonely, alone, and sick all have something to support, men have a share, and women have to return. The evil of goods is abandoned on the ground, so there is no need to hide it in oneself; the evil of strength does not come from the body, so there is no need to do it for yourself. That’s why they don’t prosper because they conspire to shut them down, they don’t engage in thieves and thieves, and they don’t shut down outsiders, that’s called Great Harmony.”

Wang Lin was slightly taken aback, and said with a broken smile, "You're pretty good!"

Zhou Porridge said: "It can be seen from this that the Dao is also in the world, and one has to make a living, and one has to be rewarded to the common people in the world! It's not just asking for it."

Wang Lin nodded: "There are many kinds of Dao, and they can be divided into the Dao of Evolution and the Dao of Creation, the Dao of Demonstration and the Dao of Standardization, the Dao of Entering the World and the Dao of Leaving the World. Wuji and Taiji, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all lead to the same goal. As for offerings, This is doing whatever you want, you can donate some incense money, or you can just make offerings from your heart.”

He added: "Even if the person just now was not a layman, but just an ordinary tourist, I saw that he was penniless, so I should help, right? Isn't it? This is called being kind to others. I have formed a good relationship. , As for whether he thanks me or not, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Congee said: "I can't tell you! You have a sharp mouth!"

Wang Lin laughed.

After the meal, the four of them went down the mountain to Huacheng.

As soon as he arrived in an area with a signal, Wang Lin's cell phone rang happily non-stop, and messages rushed into his cell phone one by one.

Wang Lin picked up his phone to look, and the call came.

"Hello, Wenjuan."

"Brother-in-law, you answered the phone! I almost called the police!" Li Wenjuan's anxious voice came.

"Hehe, can't it? Can the few of us disappear out of thin air?"

"You, you! Where have you and Sister Zhou Porridge gone? I haven't seen you for two days!"

"It's like this. We met Lin Xiaoxiao. We heard that there was a blessing meeting in Luofu Mountain, so we came here for two days. We are on our way back to Huacheng."

"Brother-in-law, I'm angry! You went to Luofu Mountain to play, why didn't you bring me?"

"We did it on the spur of the moment! Besides, we are all gone, what about the Canton Fair? You are the CEO of Xiuzhilin Clothing. You are so important that you cannot leave casually."

"Okay, what time do you come back? Are you coming to the venue?"

"We returned to Huacheng. It is probably late. We didn't take a shower yesterday. We have to go back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. We won't go to the Canton Fair today."

"Okay, then let's have dinner together tonight."

While chatting, Lin Xiaoxiao's car in front suddenly slipped and slid to the side. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao's car was good, and he quickly stabilized the car.

Uncle Zhong always drove steadily. When he saw the car in front crashed, he immediately slowed down.

"Wang Dong, Miss Lin's car tire has been punctured."

Wang Lin also noticed it, and said in a deep voice, "Come to the side and stop with her."

Two cars stopped on the side of the road.

It is far away from the town, and there are not many vehicles coming and going, mostly trucks and buses.

Wang Lin got out of the car and walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's car door.

"Smile, how are you doing?"

Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed his forehead with his hands, and said in pain, "I bumped my head, but fortunately there was no accident."

Uncle Zhong inspected the scene and said to Wang Lin, "Dong Wang, Miss Lin's tire was punctured by a needle."

Zhou Porridge said: "I heard that this area is very messy. These nails are obviously scattered on the road on purpose! I guess there must be a car repair shop nearby!"

Wang Lin had heard about these chaos for a long time.

A few years ago, when Wang Lin went to Shencheng for the first time, he took the Flower City as a transit.

At that time, they planned to drive there by themselves, but Mao Jinshan, the manager of the South China Region, advised them to take the train, saying that the journey would not be smooth.

Later, there was a flight to Shencheng, and Wang Lin and the others went to Shencheng again, just taking the flight back and forth.

Uncle Zhong looked around for a while, pointed to not far away and said: "Wang Dong, there is really a car repair shop, look over there. There are two large characters hanging on it: tire repair!"

Wang Lin smiled wryly: "What do you say these people are doing!"

Zhou Congee said: "Call the police! They must have done the tire puncture! It's a trivial matter if the car is punctured. If someone dies, what should we do? It's like the layman we met on the mountain. He died in a car accident! If Miss Lin hadn't been clever just now, our two cars would have collided with each other!"

Wang Lindao: "There is no basis for this. If you report to the police, who will accept you? Well, the most urgent thing is to fix the car. It's going to be dark this day. At night, I'm afraid this area will be even more uneven."

Lin smiled and said: "Wang Lin is right. There are motorcycle gangs here. We drive two luxury cars and dress well. If we really meet them, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. It's just a tire repair. It won't cost much. money."

Zhou Porridge gritted his teeth and said, "You guys! The bad guys are bullied by people like you! If everyone bravely calls the police, and the police can't find evidence the first time or the second time, I won't believe it. If they receive a hundred calls on this section of the road, how can they remain indifferent?"

Wang Lin thought to himself, Zhou Porridge really hates evil like revenge.

Indeed, if everyone calls the police, these perpetrators will have nowhere to hide.

Wang Lindao: "We are just passers-by, a strong dragon can't beat a local snake! Let's forget it!"

He actually knew that Lin Xiaoxiao's family had a police background, but, for such a small matter, there was no need to alert the big bosses.

What's more, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even say anything!

Zhou Congee said: "I want to go with you, I don't want to see the ugly faces of those villains! I'll wait for you in the car."

Wang Lin shook his head car with a smile, and said to Uncle Zhong: "You can accompany Zhou Porridge in the car! Xiaoxiao and I are going to repair the car."

Uncle Zhong said: "Wang Dong! Be careful."

Wang Lindao: "The most they can do is steal some money to repair the car, and nothing serious will happen! What's scary is not this kind of person, but that kind of speeding gangster."

Uncle Zhong nodded, he and Zhou Porridge got into the car, drove the car to a place not far from the car repair shop and stopped. Come forward to help for a while.
