The beliefs of the Chinese are very strange. When you meet a god, you worship, and when you see a temple, you go to a temple. What everyone flatters is the strategy of casting a wide net and catching more fish. When people's living standards improve, temples will naturally flourish (ghostly).

These people who are ignorant and claim to be Buddhist believers have supported 20 monks in China. How many of these people are there? The answer is more than 4 million. 30% of the people in the country have more or less worshiped Buddha and incense.

What kind of concept is this? To put it crudely, for 4 million people, if each person lights a stick of incense, the earth will be smoking. If each person gives a bun, the Buddha can burp for 100 years.

There are too many people, the temple business is booming, and there are not enough seats, what should I do?TOLL.Entrance fee, incense fee, worship fee, signature fee, asking for safety and so on, there are even more fees. If you accidentally kowtow more than once, be careful that the monk will charge you an extra 100 yuan.

This fee naturally comes out of grades. Those who have no money can take a look at the Buddha outside the door, and those who have money can take a look inside. Those who have more money can use the money to buy a stick of incense from the monk and give the Buddha a taste. This is a high-end incense that starts at a few hundred dollars in New China.

So Avalokitesvara often laughs, Maitreya is still happy, the monk is fat, and the faith is gone. Everyone just spends money to buy peace of mind. The monks always take money to make you feel at ease. Even if you murder and set fire, as long as you pay the money, you are still a good boy of the Buddha. , can definitely catch a special car to the Western Paradise, or the one with air conditioning.

If it's not a statutory holiday, there will be fewer people worshiping Buddha, so they won't be rubbing shoulders, but in Zhang Qi's view, this is still much more crowded than any Buddhist gatherings he has seen before.

The believers didn't make too much noise, and whispered among each other, which had already caused a buzzing sound to hang over the supposedly quiet and serene Great Buddha Temple.

"The one who eats the incense in the world is really extraordinary (the most romantic in the Three Kingdoms. Look at the environment. The Buddha is still smiling." Zhang Qi joked with Su Qin, in exchange for the latter's pinch of reproach, which was neither painful nor itchy Yes, Zhang Qi smiled indifferently, and continued to climb the stairs with Su Qin.

Paying for incense, paying for incense, paying for lottery... After Zhang Qi felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.All the procedures were finally over, and after doing the math, the two of them spent nearly 2000 yuan to pay their respects by praying to Buddha.

"I figured out why you didn't bring your offerings." Zhang Qi looked at the scene of paying for offerings and said softly to Su Qin.

Su Qin chuckled, and said, "The reason why we don't bring offerings is because we need to add money for sesame oil. If we don't add more, we can offer offerings, but the cost is the same."

"No?" Zhang Qi was depressed.It turns out that there is something more important.

Taking out several pieces of red old man's head and some scattered money, Su Qin stuffed the money into the box of sesame oil money, and a monk next to him lit up his eyes and performed a Buddhist ceremony.Say in a voice that Su Qin and Zhang Qi can hear: "The benefactor has a heart, I wish you good luck, prosperity and peace."

"888 is two sentences, one sentence..." Originally, Zhang Qi was not a stingy person, and he spent money from the concept, let alone 888.Adding two more 8s at the end is also a number for him.He just didn't like to come to pray to the Buddha, but he was slaughtered several times by clearly marked prices. When it came time to refill the sesame oil, he was naturally not in a good mood.

The word 4 is taboo among Chinese people. Before she could say the last half of the sentence, Su Qin quickly covered Zhang Qi's mouth with her hand, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders and was about to answer.A familiar voice sounded from the side, "Officer Zhang, what a coincidence, are you coming to offer incense too?".

Turning her head to look, it was Song Peihan. Standing behind her were of course the full-time father Song Qiandao and several bodyguards.

Zhang Qi turned his head and saw Song Peihan's happy smiling face and Song Qiandao's happier expression. In the past few days, because he helped his daughter block a knife, and Song Peihan was willing to listen to his explanation, although the relationship between Song Qiandao and his daughter is not that good Back to normal, but also a lot of progress.

No, in order to pray for his mother, Song Peihan wanted to come to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense, and he was willing to let Song Qiandao intervene in the arrangement. Song Qiandao was so happy that he was smiling for several days, and he also arranged the best treatment. They were going to talk with Abbot Shikong Woolen cloth.

"Miss Song?" Zhang Qi replied strangely. A few days ago, Song Peihan called him twice, saying that he wanted to thank him for his help and treat him to dinner. God did not see.

Slightly surprised, Zhang Qi replied with a flat expression. In his heart, Song Peihan was an ordinary acquaintance, who was not full of friends.

"What a coincidence, who is this?" Song Peihan has been rescued by Zhang Qi twice, and she has a good impression of this cold but powerful policeman in her heart.

Seeing Su Qin holding Zhang Qi's arm, Song Peihan felt a sense of loss for some reason, and asked with a smile, "Could it be your girlfriend, what a blessing."

I don't know whether it is Su Qin's good fortune or Zhang Qi's good fortune. Song Peihan's ambiguous tone can only be heard by the old fox Song Qiandao behind him. A good relationship that is easy to get may be destroyed (Police Road Official Way.

"My wife: Su Qin." Zhang Qi thought for a while, and introduced dryly, "Her name is Song Peihan, and I met some time ago."

Zhang Qi had "amnesia", so the people who can be said to know, naturally only came into contact with them in the past few months. Although Su Qin didn't know when Zhang Qi met such a beautiful girl, but it would not be sour, on the contrary It was natural to say hello to Song Peihan.

"Officer Zhang, since we met, why don't we go to Master Shikong and listen to Buddhism." After greeting Su Qin, Song Peihan invited Zhang Qi aloud, which also meant a little reciprocation.

You know, Shi Kong is one of the most famous Buddhist masters in mainland China. If Song Qiandao did not arrange, Song Peihan might not be able to see each other. Since Zhang Qi came here to offer incense, he must have done so. A little favor.

It's a pity that Zhang Qi was disgusted by the monk's temple's style of asking for money. He had no interest in meeting Shi Kong, the leader of the god stick.Just about to refuse, Su Qin secretly pulled Zhang Qi's hand and looked at Zhang Qi expectantly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Knowing what Su Qin meant, Zhang Qinai nodded, and said politely, he regarded Shi Kong as the leader of the magic stick, and Su Qin, like Song Peihan, regarded him as a master.

Song Peihan could naturally see the small gestures between the two, and felt a little envious of Zhang Qi's willingness to give in to Su Qin, as if he had invited Zhang Qi several times, but was almost all rejected.

"Miss Su, let's go together." Knowing that it was Zhang Qi's wife who wanted to go, Song Peihan naturally knew that this time the favor was successful. Same (rebirth those years.

Hearing Song Peihan's words, Su Qin let go of Zhang Qi's hand, smiled at Zhang Qi, and walked ahead with Song Peihan, while Zhang Qi was so-called a little behind, and followed the two women with Song Qiandao. Shikong's "boudoir".

"Ms. Zhang, thank you very much last time." Seeing that Song Peihan seemed to have many friends, Song Qiandao burst into a smile, and began to provoke Zhang Qi.

"Does Husband Zhang also believe in Buddhism?" Seeing that Zhang Qi just nodded slightly and didn't pick up a word, Song Qiandao found another topic.

Zhang Qi, who was full of contempt for those charging items, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Husband Song also believes in Buddhism? Well, it is the kind of 'golden' shining Buddha."

The old fox Song Qiandao could hear the disdain in Zhang Qi's tone, and said cheerfully: "Yes, I believe in all kinds of Buddhas, especially the one that shines with 'gold'." Know what Zhang Qi said.

The two looked at each other and smiled, they understood each other's meaning, no longer entangled in this question, and slowly followed the monk at the front into Shikong's room.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Qi found that there was no smell of copper as he had imagined, but a faint scent of sandalwood, coupled with the old smell of the paint on the wooden furniture, and the environment, it was completely different from the feeling just now.

Song Qiandao had expected to wink at Zhang Qi, pulled him to find a futon to sit down, and looked at the old monk who was already sitting on the ground with great interest.

Buddha saves predestined people, but those who are predestined are often rich, because if you don’t have money, you can only burn incense and pray for blessings outside, and you rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with eminent monks like Shikong. Master Dream.

Song Qiandao is a rich man, and he puts 80 yuan on the temple without any pressure, so he has met many eminent monks, and Shi Kong is one of them.

"The benefactors don't need to be restrained, just do as they please." When the young monk closed the door and walked out, Shi Kong said kindly to Song Qiandao, father and daughter, Zhang Qi and his wife.

The four of them nodded yes, but except for Zhang Qi, the other three at most picked up the tea cups in front of them and drank, but they didn't move about the snacks.

Only Zhang Qi, who didn't like the Great Buddha Temple at all, grabbed the snack in front of him and ate it without any image. He thought that when he was a hero, he dared to eat anything placed in front of the Buddha statue, let alone in front of the monk.

"Hehe." Seeing Zhang Qi like this, Song Qiandao chuckled happily, and then imitated Zhang Qi, gorging on the dim sum in front of him.

Just when they wanted to reproach Zhang Qi and Song Qian, Su Qin and Song Peihan were surprised to see that Shi Kong also picked up the snacks, and began to eat the tea with relish.

"The two female benefactors don't need to be restrained. Husband Song and I are old friends, just let it go." Shi Kong said with a smile showing his rare good teeth.

"Husband Zhang, the 'golden' shining Buddha is outside, here is the relishing Buddha, haha." Song Qian said to Zhang Qi strangely, not caring at all that this was in Shikong's meditation room.
