Chapter 196 Worshiping Buddha in Yunchan Temple (3)
Walking to the outskirts, there are pedestrians in twos and threes on the road, some in horse-drawn carts, some in ox carts, and some on foot. These people are rushing to Yunchan Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha.

An hour later, the ox cart arrived at the foot of Yunwu Mountain. There were already many cars parked here. Lin Xiaoqiao and his party got out of the ox cart and waited at the foot of the mountain for Lin Erniu to put the ox cart in place.

There are a lot of people going up the mountain. Lin Xiaoqiao looked up at the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and there was a cloud of mist in the sky. It is said that this mountain came from it. The folks all said that there is a fairy spirit on the top of the mountain, and it is the residence of gods and Buddhas. It is a holy place, so people feel that the temples here are particularly effective.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Lin Erniu put away the ox cart and rushed over: "There are so many people today, I finally found a vacant seat."

Mrs. Li saw that his forehead was sweating a little, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped it off for him: "Okay, let's go up, there must be many people on the mountain! Let's all pay attention, don't get lost That's it! If we accidentally get separated, let's ask someone the way down the mountain, and then gather at the foot of the mountain."

Everyone nodded, and then they went up the mountain together. In order to make it easier for the faithful men and women to go up the mountain, the people in the temple specially opened a road, but the road was full of small stones, and it felt special after walking for a long time. foot.

Lin Xiaoqiao walked all the way up the mountain, his two calves were tired and sore, and the top of the mountain was filled with smoke. The Yunchan Temple was built here, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims going in with baskets. Many people began to worship in front of the temple. Now, they put their hands together, raised their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then threw themselves flat on the ground.

It is said that this Yunchan Temple has been built for hundreds of years, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly felt that this ancient temple looked extraordinarily solemn under the shroud of clouds and mist.

Lin Xiaoqiao and his group walked in through the gate, and all they saw were pilgrims who came to worship the Buddha. In the center of the courtyard was the main hall of the temple, and outside the hall was a cauldron with continuous smoke.

Although there are many people who come to worship the Buddha, there is no noise inside and outside the main hall. People are praying quietly in awe of the gods.

There are some eaves paintings carved on the verandah outside the main hall. There are hundreds of arhats in different postures. Some are lying on their backs as if they are sleeping, and some are sitting cross-legged. Lin Xiaoqiao has never been to a temple in his previous life. , So looking at these, apart from a spontaneous sense of awe in my heart, I also feel quite fresh and curious.

She followed Mrs. Li and others into the main hall, where a big Buddha statue of Sakyamuni was enshrined. When they entered, many people were already kneeling inside.

Mrs. Sun and Widow Zheng took out the incense they had prepared and distributed a bunch of incense to Lin Xiaoqiao and the others. After lighting it, everyone came forward to worship.

Seeing the devout faces of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun, Lin Xiaoqiao knelt on the futon and prayed sincerely, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would bless their family and be safe and healthy.

After worshiping in the main hall, Mrs. Li took Lin Xiaoqiao and his party to worship in various side halls, almost all Bodhisattvas, gods and Buddhas.

After the worship, Mrs. Li went back to the Xipian Hall where Avalokitesvara was enshrined. She, Widow Zheng and Mrs. Sun had just drawn a lottery there, and now they are going there to release the lottery.

Mrs. Sun asked for a marriage lottery for Lin Xiaoqiao's uncle, Li Erhu, and the lottery was on the stick. Lin Xiaoqiao heard the monk who released the lottery say something, as if he said that Uncle Erhu's marriage should not be too much to worry about. It is destined by God, it has already been arranged, and it will be a good thing without a matchmaker, so there is no need to rush.

After Mrs. Sun took the lottery, she was all smiles, and her heart became more relaxed.

And Widow Zheng asked for a safe lottery for her son, and it was also a lottery. Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't understand the sign, but he understood what the monk explained. Anyway, her Brother Xuewen will be safe and sound outside.

The last lottery was requested by Mrs. Li. She asked for the child who was killed by Mrs. Zhou last year and died young. That matter has always been a concern in Mrs. Li's heart.

The monk who released the signature read the signature and said some words of comfort to Mrs. Li. When it is time to let go, you should let go. If you are really concerned, you can light an ever-burning lamp for him, and pray for an early rebirth into a good family.

In the end, Mrs. Li took five taels of silver and lit an ever-burning lantern in the temple for her child who died young, and since it was a baby who hadn't made a sound, the ever-burning lantern didn't have a tablet name either.

But even so, for the sake of his own concern, Mrs. Li ordered one for him out of sesame oil money.

After worshiping the gods and Buddhas, Lin Xiaoqiao and the others were about to go down the mountain. I don't know if it was an illusion, but since lighting the ever-burning lamp, Mrs. Li seemed to have unloaded a lot, and the whole person looked much more relaxed.

On the way down the mountain, they ran into Dafang's family by accident, and they hadn't seen them for a while.

When the two groups met, they naturally said hello. The people in Dafang did not expect to run into Lin Erniu's family here. It may be because of the things that happened before, so everyone seemed a little uncomfortable. .

It was Lin Jiang who said hello first: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what a coincidence, you also come to offer incense and worship Buddha!"

"Yes, we are going to go down the mountain now, you are just here." Mrs. Li replied with a smile.

I haven't seen him for a few months. Lin Jiang seems to be more mature. He is a 15-year-old boy, and he looks a little taller when standing there. After experiencing such an accident, Lin Xiaoqiao feels that he seems to be more clear and resolute. Some.

"I heard that worshiping Buddha today is the most effective, so our family came together and prayed for my mother. Now my mother is better. What happened in the past was my mother's fault. Auntie, don't care about my mother." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he pulled Mrs. Liu out to stand in front of Mrs. Li and the others, and said softly, "Mother, these are my second uncle and second aunt, do you still recognize them?"

Mrs. Liu lowered her head, looking a little timid. After hearing Lin Jiang's words, she raised her head to look at Lin Xiaoqiao and the others, then continued to lower her head and stopped talking.

Hearing what he said, Lin Xiaoqiao noticed that the woman who was hiding behind Lin Daniu just now was their eldest aunt Liu. Wasn't she demented because of the farce?
Looking at the situation now, it seems to be much better than before, at least the eyes are not as hollow as before, and I don't know how good she is.

Because there were many contradictions and conflicts before, Lin Xiaoqiao still felt a little flustered when facing Liu Shi, so he pulled Li Shi a bit.
