Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 17 Incense Money

Walking out of the Town God's Temple, I was still in a daze, donated more than ten cents, and walked back empty-handed. Zhuang Xun was still thinking about merit, good and evil, so that he was about to bump into someone who reacted and fell backwards, and then missed the person in front. Hit someone behind.

A burst of brute force pushed Zhuang Xun, who had no ability to resist, and he was pulled to the ground.

"Huh!" He let out a muffled groan, Zhuang Xun was still a little dizzy after being knocked to the ground for unknown reasons.

"Little brother, you have overreacted, apologize quickly!" A charming woman reprimanded a heroic young man.

In the past two decades, she is dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a deep cloud-patterned garment, and the willow leaves are filled with gentleness. She has a pair of bright almond eyes, pure and lovely, a round nose, and full red lips. She has the vitality and warmth of the sun. Let people have a sense of closeness and love.

She wanted to stretch out her hand to help Zhuang Xun, but she thought of something and then retracted this movement. Instead, she patted the boy on the back and said to him, "Help him up, and apologize."

"Sorry, I reacted naturally, do you need me to take you to the hospital?" The young man said embarrassedly with a red face, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhuang Xun up.

"No, it's nothing." Zhuang Xun shook his head.

It hurts, but the other party is so polite, he doesn't bother to pester him.

"Let's go to the doctor's office to have a look. My brother's attack is not serious." The girl said with an apologetic smile.

"Recently there are so many refugees in Yindu, and the clinic is very busy. Don't cause trouble for them. It's nothing serious. I don't care if I walk by myself." It's not about touching porcelain, the other party's attitude is very sincere, Zhuang Xun patted the clothes Also generously let go.

"I'm really sorry." The two expressed their apologies again, seeing Zhuang Xun no longer pursue it.

"I've said it's all right, okay, I'm leaving." It was just a small episode, but Zhuang Xun was brought back to reality, no longer thinking about ghosts and monsters.

"Wait, sir, how can I get to Jinguang Temple?" Seeing that Zhuang Xun was easy to talk to, the young man asked shyly.

"About [-] paces along this street, there is an avenue, and you can see it after half a mile to the left." Zhuang Xun thought for a while and then looked at the pretty woman with black hair in a strange way.

"Thank you, thank you, is there anything weird about this Jinguang Temple?" Noticing Zhuang Xun's strange gaze, the woman asked proactively.

"No, it's the Avalokitesvara Dojo, and it's well-known in Yindu." Zhuang Xun said casually. Naturally, it's impossible to tell strangers directly what you, an unmarried girl, are doing at the Avalokitesvara Dojo.

A woman's curly hair indicates that she is a woman, and hair that is scattered indicates that she is not married yet.

Visible to the naked eye, the woman's delicate face turned crimson.

"We are praying for our family. I don't know which temples are better. Can you recommend them?" the boy explained, relieving his sister's embarrassment.

"Uh, no, I'm not very familiar with these things." Although there are gods, some gods may have the ability to help mortals, but it's too late to believe it now, and the gods have said it, just do good deeds yourself.

"..." The young man looked at the nearby Town God's Temple, and then at Zhuang Xun's decent clothes. It didn't look like he was going to eat porridge.

"I buried a benefactor, and I can't do anything for her, so I can only come to the Temple of the City God to hope that the Lord of the Temple will ensure her a smooth reincarnation." Zhuang Xun opened his mouth and came.

"To bury the benefactor? Can't do things? Are you Zhuang Xiaolian?" The young man said in surprise.

"Under Zhuang Xun, where did you find out about Xun?" Zhuang Xun has already met two people who know him today.

"It's really Xiaolian. Recently, there are rumors in Yin Dufu that you spent all your wealth to bury the daughter of a criminal minister. Although everyone doesn't like the daughter of a criminal minister, Xiaolian knows how to repay you, is not afraid of getting involved, and dares to do justice. Everyone admires it." The young man looked at Zhuang Xun again, a little more appreciative, as if he had added a filter.

In this weird world, it is obvious that greed for ink is a common practice, but it is also full of appreciation and pursuit of various beautiful qualities.

"I can't deserve this kind of praise." Zhuang Xun didn't think too much about it at the time, he just wanted to make people feel safe.

"Yu Guo just came out of Siqin Shengjing, a person who eats the king and doesn't think about serving the country. He needs more people like Xiaolian as role models."

"I can't deserve this kind of praise." Zhuang Xun declined, but he was promoted to Xiaolian inexplicably, and now that this kind of public opinion is oriented, he has a feeling of falling into some kind of conspiracy.

"Have you asked Miss Young Master's name yet?" Zhuang Xun asked politely.

"I'm Li Chengzhi, my sister Li Rusi. Chengzhi heard about Xiaolian's deeds and respected him. It's a pleasure to see Xiaolian today." Li Chengzhi said, clasping his fists.

"Master Li, isn't Miss Li a native of Yindu?" He found a topic.

Both temples can find fault, and they should not be locals.

"Yes, we are from Chengguo. We traveled with our father to Yu. Father caught a cold. Although we have taken medicine, we siblings still want to seek gods to bless our father for a speedy recovery." look.

"Miss Gongzi is Chunxiao, but I really don't know which temple is good, but the state religion Taiqing Temple of Yu State is on Zhuque Street, you can go and have a look, and there are some famous temples such as Daming Temple and Dongxian Temple. Yes." Zhuang Xun suggested.

Since gods and ghosts exist, immortals and demons must also exist, but it seems that one must be immortal to cultivate immortals, otherwise Zhuang Xun is also curious about cultivating immortals, but he doesn't know if there are any real immortals in these gymnasiums and temples.

"Thank you, but where is Suzaku Street, please ask Xiaolian to show me the way." Bowing down to ask, Zhuang Xun was a little surprised that the boy who was so impatient and throwing people was so polite.

"Forget it, I'll take you there." Zhuang Xun looked at the sky, so he should do good deeds.

"Then thank you Xiaolian." Li Chengzhi said, clasping his hands.

"Why don't you bring a frame when you go out? Yindu is crowded with people and there are many pickpockets. You should be careful when you go out like this." Zhuang Xun reminded.

Both of them were dressed in brocade robes, and they didn't look like they couldn't afford carriages and horses.

"I wanted to see the difference between Yin Du and Ji. They were stolen just after being bumped, so I thought Xiaolian was also..." Li Rusi's voice stopped here, and Zhuang Xun understood.

No wonder people are so irritable.

"Forget it, it's good to clear up the misunderstanding, but it's useless for you to go to the temple without money, and you can't even enter the door." Zhuang Xun couldn't help but said.

"Yu Guo asked for money to enter the temple?" Li Chengzhi was stunned.

"Of course, it's called incense money. Why do you go to the temple if you don't even burn incense?" Zhuang Xun recalled the scene when he was curious and prepared to go to the temple. Although it was not expensive, it cost five coins.

At that time, when I thought of the scenic spot, I didn’t think it was wrong. I thought there was nothing wrong with the gods and Buddhas only visiting the rich, but the truth is that this is a world with gods. Now I think it’s very inconsistent.

"Is there no charge for Cheng Guo to enter the temple?" Zhuang Xun asked.

"Take it." Li Rusi said concisely.

"But we're going to the temple..."

"That's because the family donated a lot on weekdays. Let's go back, little brother." Li Rusi tugged at his clothes.

"I'm sorry for Zhuang Xiaolian's trouble, our siblings are going back." Li Rusi said to leave.

"Sorry, Zhuang Xiaolian, I'm sorry to trouble you." Li Chengzhi looked a little frustrated.

"When praying to gods and Buddhas, it is enough to be sincere. Money is an external appearance. As long as you pray sincerely, the gods will surely bless your father to be healthy and recover." Zhuang Xun blessed.
