After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 550: Get two Buddha statues
Nana's body is already very charming, and her current attire is also uncontrollable.

Li Zhuo couldn't control himself, so he carried her onto the bed and pressed her under him.

……

Three days later, all the cashback money has arrived, and Li Zhuo still has 21.093 billion yuan in his bank card.

After the cashback ends, the incense burner falls into a deep sleep state, and he can upgrade its functions.

The first thing he needs to do is to offer incense in front of the three big Buddha statues to connect with the power of incense.

Thailand is a famous Buddhist country, Li Zhuo intends to find a big Buddha here to enshrine.

He checked and found that many Buddha statues are very large, but most of them were built in modern times.

Are Buddha statues built in modern technological society useful?

Li Zhuo expressed doubts.

Therefore, the first thing he chose was not the largest Buddha statue in Thailand, but the Wat Pho located next to the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

There is a reclining Buddha built 230 years ago.

This reclining Buddha should be called a giant Buddha, because it is 46 meters long, 15 meters high, and the length of its feet reaches 5 meters.

In the name of playing, Li Zhuo took Nana to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

The temple has requirements on what to wear. Nana was wearing long trousers and a long shirt that day, and a pair of flat shoes on her feet. Except for her face and hands, she did not show anything else.

The ticket here is 200 baht. After entering and taking off your shoes, you are allowed to enter the temple to watch the Buddha statue.

Then Li Zhuo discovered that incense cannot be offered here. The way to pray is to exchange 20 baht for a large jar of coins and put the coins one by one into the 108 copper bowls on the side of the reclining Buddha, symbolizing the 108 kinds of good deeds that achieve perfect merit.

Li Zhuo followed Nana and threw the coins in one by one, praying for completion.

After the completion, if you want to take a group photo, you can, but the Buddha is too big to capture the whole picture, so Li Zhuo took two photos for Nana Jiang.

After he came out, Li Zhuo was a little confused, and couldn't help asking:

"Nana, so you can't burn incense here, right?"

"Yes," Nana knew that he was a foreigner and didn't know the situation here, so she explained, "The way of praying in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is different from other temples. I haven't heard of anyone burning incense here."

"Um, aren't the temples here allowed to burn incense?" Li Zhuo felt that he might be doing useless work.

"No, we in Thailand are Theravada Buddhism. Normally, incense and candles are not burned in temples, and flowers are not offered as offerings. But, as people from China come to our country to travel, they are used to offering incense, so now most temples You can burn incense, and some temples even offer flowers.”

Li Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that, and said with a smile:
"Understood, that's how it is, thanks to my fellow villagers."

Nana covered her mouth and smiled, touched his cheek and said:

"Husband, why are you so cute? Do you want to burn some incense?"

Li Zhuo nodded and said:
"Yes, I have big wishes, and I don't feel devout enough without offering incense."

"Well, do you want to offer incense to the reclining Buddha?" Nana asked.

Li Zhuo nodded:

"Yes, the reclining Buddha is the best."

The censer required three giant Buddhas, but Li Zhuo also wanted to make a distinction, one for each of the reclining Buddha, standing Buddha, and sitting Buddha.

Nana thought for a while and said:

"There is a way, husband. I remember that there is also a reclining Buddha over there in Ayutthaya. It is also very big. It was built earlier, at least for hundreds of years. It is allowed to offer incense there."

Li Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and this actually fits his requirements better.

It is older and is also the type of reclining Buddha. The key is that it can be used to burn incense.

Li Zhuo asked:

"Nana, can you take me there to play? I want to have an incense."

Nana smiled and said:

"Of course, as long as you want to go, I will definitely accompany you."

After leaving the temple, Nana drove Li Zhuo from Bangkok and headed north.

The distance from Bangkok to Ayutthaya is only over 70 kilometers, and you can get there in one hour under normal circumstances.

On the west side of the ancient city of Ayutthaya, a Buddhist temple called wat lokay sutha, also known as the 'Big Buddha Temple', is the destination this time.

It is one of the oldest and most majestic Buddhist temples in Thailand.

The Big Buddha Temple is famous for its Big Buddha. There is a reclining Buddha statue built in the 14th century that is over 37 meters long and 17 meters high.Li Zhuo saw the confession in front of the big Buddha statue, with three large altars of incense and ashes placed on it.

He breathed a sigh of relief, obviously anyone can offer incense and candles here.

This reclining Buddha has been built for almost 700 years. It was covered with gold leaf, but after a long period of time, the gold leaf has fallen off a lot and looks mottled.

Even the face of the reclining Buddha could not be seen clearly, and Li Zhuo even felt that its expression was sad.

However, in Buddhism, Buddha statues with sad images are relatively common and not uncommon.

This great Buddhist temple does not require entrance fees and is free to visit. There are more than ten monks living in the temple, all of them are thin and thin. Obviously the monks here are real monks.

Li Zhuo donated 5 baht incense money to the temple monks, and Nana also donated 5000 baht.

There were not many tourists in this temple, and almost no one donated money for incense, so all the monks gathered around to chant sutras and pray for them.

Li Zhuo said that he would offer incense to the Buddha, and the monks took out their own incense and led Li Zhuo to pray for blessings in front of the Buddha.

Li Zhuo lit a bunch of incense and inserted it into the altar of incense ash. Then he sat on the futon brought by the monks, lowered his head and pretended to make a wish.

Cigarettes curled up from the gray altar, and nothing unusual could be seen.

In Li Zhuo's sea of ​​consciousness, the incense burner suddenly moved.

A gust of wind blew, and the cigarette was blown towards the Buddha. The strange thing is that it curled up and formed a line in the middle without interruption.

The wind was blowing strangely, and even the monk felt that it was not normal.

However, after the wind blew, the cigarettes returned to their original appearance. Everyone just regarded it as an accidental situation and didn't care.

But Li Zhuo felt that at a certain moment, there was an expression in the eyes of the big Buddha, as if it was staring at him.

To be precise, he was looking at the incense burner inside him.

The incense burner seemed to have completed its connection with the Buddha, and it disappeared in the next second.

Li Zhuoneng felt that it was flying to the Buddha statue, as if it was carrying the power of the incense.

Li Zhuo raised his head and glanced at the reclining Buddha, it was still a statue, it was as dull as before.

About 5 minutes later, the incense burner flew back to Li Zhuo's sea of ​​consciousness, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

But Li Zhuo soon discovered that there was a vague tadpole-shaped mark on its outer wall, but it was still very dim.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, but Li Zhuo also felt something strange because he noticed that a piece of gold powder suddenly fell off from the reclining Buddha.

He originally planned to go back to China to finish the rest of the Buddha statues, but now the situation made him a little bit guilty. He decided to finish it abroad, so as not to have any weird influence on the country.

Before leaving the Big Buddha Temple, Li Zhuo donated another 100 million baht to the temple and asked the monks to repair the golden body of the Big Buddha. This money was not enough, but the monks had been saving money for this and got help from Li Zhuo After that, they have sufficient funds and can take action immediately.

After leaving here, he spent another day in Thailand before flying to South Korea the next day.

After arriving in Seoul, he asked Yin Myung-ja to drive him to Nonsan in Chungcheongnam-do.

Here, he saw a stone Maitreya standing Buddha statue built in 1006 AD.

It is 18.12 meters high and has been built for more than 1000 years. It is obviously also a big Buddha with age.

but--

This Buddha statue is really a bit ugly, just like the handicrafts left by the celestial dynasty in the primitive society, rough, clumsy, and ugly.

Li Zhuo looked at Maitreya Buddha's single-eyelid, fat face and fat head, and didn't know what to say.

Ugly, it fits the temperament of the peninsula.

That's all, it's all here, if you have dates or no dates, you can play one stroke.

Li Zhuo ordered incense and offered tribute, and waited quietly.

The cigarette was blown by the wind and flew towards the Buddha statue.

In the next second, the incense burner suddenly moved, and then disappeared again.

A few minutes later, the incense burner reappeared, and this time the shape of tadpoles on its outer wall became clear.

Li Zhuo looked up at the ugliest Maitreya Buddha he had ever seen in his life, feeling that it seemed to be a little unstable.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Buddha statue was indeed a bit ugly to Maitreya Buddha and was unsightly. He estimated that if Maitreya Buddha had a spirit, he would definitely refuse to possess this statue.

Li Zhuo turned around and left, Chou refused.
