Farm Fairy Dog

On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, burn incense and worship Buddha.When the Four Olds were destroyed, some small nunneries and ancestral halls in the countryside were destroyed. At that time, believers also drew a clear line with Bodhisattvas.In rural areas, even funerals have been changed to memorial services.

But after ten years of catastrophe, these customs slowly recovered in the countryside, which shows that these old rules and customs still have strong vitality.

When the living conditions improved a little bit, and there was more free time, those people who had drawn a clear line with the Bodhisattvas began to take refuge in my Buddha again.Burn incense and recite scriptures at home every day.On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I went out to burn incense.It is not enough to go to one ancestral hall and one nunnery, one has to go one by one, and there is a tendency to visit all the famous temples in the world.

Although the mountain temple is a bit dilapidated, it is still a temple anyway.What's more, after living in this temple for a period of time, Laiwang changed his luck, which shows that this mountain temple is still efficacious.Naturally, some believers fell in love with this broken mountain temple.Usually save food and borrow money, save some money, sell some building materials, drag them together to the mountain temple, and repair the mountain temple.It's a pity that the mountain temple is really damaged, especially the statue, which has almost turned into a lump of mud.

Hu Xiulan, wife of Zhao Shengcai, is a very devout Buddhist.The pilgrims in Yidushui Village are basically developed by her.No, a large group of women from the village gathered at Zhao Shengcai's house.

Zhao Shengcai was not very happy.

"I'm still a cadre anyway, and your superstitious activities have a bad influence on me." Zhao Shengcai pulled his wife aside.

"What's the matter? If I didn't burn incense and worship Buddha every day, and the Bodhisattva blesses you, you, Zhao Dazi, would be the village party secretary?" Hu Xiulan felt that she had contributed a lot.

"However, mother-in-law, can't you take them to another place for meetings? You see, you put them in our house. If the leaders of the town listen to you, it will have a bad influence on me. It will be very bad for my political life. It's a kind of murder." Zhao Shengcai said.

"You're just a big-ass village party secretary. Give me political life. If I don't burn incense and worship Buddha, and don't have the blessing of Bodhisattva, let alone political life, you will lose your dog life." Hu Xiulan said.

"Then tell me, can you change the meeting to another place?" Zhao Shengcai asked.

"No. What else can you do?" Hu Xiulan said,

"I, of course I can't. I'll go and prepare meals for you." Seeing that Hu Xiulan's face changed drastically, Zhao Shengcai turned pale with shock, and immediately made a huge concession.

Zhao Yulong saw Zhao Shengcai coming out of the hall.Immediately asked, "Dad, how did you discuss with Mom?"

"A discussion is a discussion. But after thinking about it carefully, I still think that your mother's religious belief should be respected. Although there are two party members in our family, party members must put the opinions of the masses first!" Zhao Shengcai found it with great difficulty. With such a grandiose excuse, I even admire myself as a genius.

"I knew it." Zhao Yulong said disdainfully, he naturally understood what was going on.

"Stinky boy, you still don't believe my words?" Zhao Shengcai said with a guilty conscience.

"I believe it! It's no wonder I believe it!" Zhao Yulong said.

Zhao Yulong wants to run for village director at the end of the year.If it can be done, Zhao Shengcai's family will have one branch secretary and one director.If Hu Xiulan didn't burn incense, she could also work as a director of the Women's Federation and a part-time secretary.Basically, you can completely control the entire political arena across the water.

But Zhao Yulong recently got news that some party members in the village are connecting with each other.The palace is ready to be richer than Zhao Sheng, and Lai Wang is going to be the village director of Yidushui Village.At that time, Zhao Yulong's dream will not only fail to come true.Instead, it will be directly submerged by the revolutionary wave that crosses the water.

"Dad. I've told you many times that now is a critical period for our family. You have to make mother make concessions. Because it's not only about whether I can become the most important member of Yidushui Village Committee. It is a question of whether or not you can keep your branch secretary position," Zhao Yulong said.

"You don't understand this. Your mother actually has a purpose. The strength of their group of pilgrims cannot be ignored. If they vote for us under the influence of your mother, we will get a lot of money invisibly. Have your votes been counted?" Zhao Shengcai said.

"Everyone is called together today to talk about the repair of the mountain temple. The current form is that almost every village has its own temple, and every month on the first and fifteenth day of every month, we directly worship the Bodhisattva in the temple in the village. The benefits of this There are so many. First, it is relatively close. We can not be limited to the two days of the first and fifteenth day of the month. Second, if a temple in a place is prosperous, this place will also be blessed by the Bodhisattva. Our mountain temple relies on The one in Dashan is very effective. Laiwang has only lived in the mountain temple for a long time, and his luck has changed immediately. Now, it seems to you that no one can compare with Wang's luck. But now, the problem in front of him is that the mountain temple is badly damaged The Dharma Body of the Mountain God Bodhisattva was also seriously damaged. These must be repaired. Repairs require a lot of money, which can only be raised by our loyal disciples." Hu Xiulan said.

"Laiwang has benefited so much from the mountain temple, so Laiwang should pay the money." Zhao Sande's wife Cao Feiyan said.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Although Laiwang lived in the mountain temple, he is not a Buddhist. He may not be willing to spend money to repair the mountain temple." Hu Xiulan said.

"Yes, Laiwang can also be asked to pay. Think about it, everyone, he just lived in the mountain temple for a while, and he got such a blessing. If he is asked to donate money for repairs, then his share of the blessing Not more?" Aunt Osmanthus said.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking Laiwang to pay for the repair of the mountain temple.People who believe in Buddhism, when they go out to burn incense, they are not even willing to buy a bucket of instant noodles in the car.But in the temple, when donating money, it is indeed extremely generous.

"That's it. I'll take the lead, and my family will donate 1000 yuan." Hu Xiulan said.

"My family also donated 200 yuan." Cao Feiyan said.

For a while, the voices of pledges followed one after another.After a while, I received thousands of dollars.Still not enough.Hu Xiulan frowned.

To repair the mountain temple, the most important thing is to re-carve the statues of the mountain temple.This is not something a few thousand dollars can afford.

I don't know how Hu Xiulan finally solved this big problem.Just as Laiwang was leading Zhao Wanxing and others to plant crops in the farm, tractors loaded with various building materials drove up.Drive directly to the Daping in front of the mountain temple and stop.

Laiwang heard the non-stop ringing of tractors outside, so he hurriedly went out to have a look, but all the people who came were from Zhaojiatun, and they were unloading construction materials there.

Laiwang walked out and asked Hu Xiulan who was transferring the map, "Aunt Xiulan, what are you doing? Are you going to demolish the mountain temple and build it?"

"Where can the temple be demolished? We are going to repair the mountain temple. I heard that your farm is doing well now?" Hu Xiulan said.

"It's okay. Then you are busy, if you need help with anything, just say it. We are busy planting crops now." Laiwang said.

"That's okay. We don't have much to do here. The main thing is sewing. The pilgrims who come here are all Buddhist believers in our village. From now on, everyone's worship on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year can be placed in the mountain temple." Hu Xiulan said .

"Alright, I can have fun here too." Laiwang said.

It's easy to do things with money.Although the mountain temple was seriously damaged, after some repairs, it didn't take long before it became clear.Especially the newly invited Bodhisattva is the highlight of the mountain temple.

On the first day of May, the new temple was opened.It is said that an eminent monk was invited from a large temple.Consecration means that when new Buddha statues and paintings are completed and placed in Buddhist halls or halls, all eminent monks and great virtues must be respectfully invited to hold a grand meeting in accordance with certain Buddhist rituals to open the eyes of the Buddha through chanting, prayers, etc. Make clay sculptures and wood carvings of Buddha statues or dharma objects have "the power of Buddha nature".

Laiwang also went to look at it, and the eminent monk was quite tall, and Laiwang couldn't tell how tall he was.

But I saw the eminent monk holding a pen, dipped in ink, climbed up the small ledge, and put eyes on the eyes of the Buddha sculpture.

Then the eminent monk sat at a table on one side and recited scriptures.The pilgrims take turns offering incense to the Bodhisattva.

Strangely, the smoke from the incense soared upwards, then turned a corner in the air, and flew directly towards the residence of Laiwang's breeding farm.Fortunately, ordinary people can't see clearly what will happen to the smoke produced by sandalwood after it flies out of the roof.The monk didn't feel anything wrong either.

Naturally, Noble would not miss such a lively scene.It really likes to stand on top.After coming to the mountain temple, it looked east and west, and found that the top of the Bodhisattva's head was the highest.So it immediately climbed over the Bodhisattva's head with difficulty.

People who believe in Buddhism should not be impulsive, let alone eat meat, and especially not kill on the day of burning incense.

From the very beginning, some people saw the existence of Noble, but no one took action against Noble.

Laifu wandered around in the mountain temple. It didn't understand the meaning of this group of people worshiping a wooden figure.

If Laifu wandered around the house like this in normal times, he would have been kicked out by others.But this day is full of good men and believers, and they are also courteous to Lai Fu.When Laifu walked out, someone even made way for it.

Laiwang didn't have much interest in these things. After looking at them, he didn't follow others to worship a stick of incense, so he went back to the farm.

There are still only wild boars and elk in the farm.Quantities haven't changed either.But what is surprising is that these wild boars can actually stay on the barren hills like elks. (To be continued..)
