Chapter 489 Fanatical Faith

I respect your beliefs, and please respect my science.

In the early morning of the next day, according to the agreement, Chen Xingyang, Yu Fan, and Guo Na came downstairs to Baitang's house.

Baitang's equipment was very simple, he just carried a small bag and went into battle lightly.

Guo Na asked Baitang: "Is everything packed?"

Baitang: "Well, I've brought everything I need to bring. I left Huahua with food for three days. Everything is ready."

Guo Na: "Well, then let's go."

The car started and headed towards the new destination - Zhongnan Mountain.

On the way, Guo Na asked Baitang: "Why did your parents take you to places like Changhai Temple before? It's very strange."

Baitang: "My parents are both practitioners. They have learned Buddhism many years ago and have always been very devout. Changhai Temple is a newly built temple, which was built with money donated by believers. My parents took me there The reason is that they believe that those who participate in the construction of the temple will receive good blessings. So, on the first day of construction, they took me there to let me be blessed."

Chen Xingyang complained: "Why do I sound a little superstitious? Haha."

Guo Na said solemnly: "Minister Chen, you have to be kind and don't judge other people's beliefs."

But Baitang didn't care, and said: "Actually, I also think it's a little tricky, anyway, I don't like it. I see that many people gradually lose their minds after studying Buddhism. They just listen to what others say, just like being brainwashed." same."

Yu Fan: "Actually, having a positive belief is a good thing. But there are indeed many people in this world who use other people's beliefs to benefit themselves, and such motives are wrong. So the good or bad of religion to people does not only lie in religion The teachings of the practice depend on whether the practitioner's heart is really good!"

Chen Xingyang: "Hmph, anyway, I think many believers make mistakes. They seek inner comfort, or make their luck better, seeking wealth and official career. In the final analysis, they are all selfish people."

Chatting and chatting, soon, Zhongnan Mountain arrived.

Baitang: "Walking around the winding mountain road, you will see a pavilion, and then you can park your car nearby. The rest of the road should only be on foot."

Walking around the winding mountain road, the bend was very sharp, and Guo Na was wobbly and a little motion sick.

Chen Xingyang: "Is that the small gazebo?" Chen Xingyang pointed to a place about 100 meters ahead.

I saw a very simple gazebo set up on the side of the road.

Baitang: "Yes, yes, that's the one. I have a deep impression. Last time I came here with my parents, I had a rest here."

Chen Xingyang drove the car a section further, found a wider section of the road, and pulled over to stop.There are quite a lot of cars parked on this road.

After Yu Fan got off the car, he took a closer look at the cars beside him, and saw that there were a lot of leaves and dead fruits on the cars. It seemed that these cars had been parked here for a while.

"There is a small path here, which is relatively close. We took this path last time." Baitang pointed to a small path and said.

This path is very narrow, barely enough for one person to walk, and the path is relatively steep, which doesn't look easy to walk.

Chen Xingyang took the backpack from the car, handed it to everyone, and said: "Okay, according to our previous plan. From now on, we are their believers, and the purpose of our coming here is to help you build temples. Everyone Keep our identities in mind, don't let us miss it."

Everyone nodded.

Chen Frameyang: "Guo Na, did you bring the red envelope for donating Fuyuan?"

Guo Na patted the backpack: "Four big red envelopes, each containing [-] yuan."

Chen Frameyang: "Very good. Then let's go!"

The four of them walked up the path.

The air in the mountains is pleasant and very comfortable. It is said that there are many strange people and strangers living in Zhongnan Mountain. It is really a place of geomantic omen.

After walking the path for about half an hour, Guo Na was already out of breath, and asked, "Baitang, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

Baitang: "Hurry up, hurry up, go straight along this road, and you will see Changhai Temple. Their site is very large and very conspicuous. They will arrive in about half an hour."

Guo Na looked sad: "Huh? There is still half an hour."

Yu Fan walked up to Guo Na, carried Guo Na's backpack on his body, and said, "Na Na, I'm not tired, let me carry it for you." Guo Na was a little weak today, so he didn't refuse any more.

They walked for another half an hour and finally arrived at their destination.Walking on the flat road, a magnificent temple not far away came into view.From the outside, the temple is very imposing, with a hall of several hundred square meters and several small houses around it.However, the construction here has not been fully completed. From a distance, you can still see a lot of scaffolding standing there, and you can still hear the sound of construction in the distance.

Chen Xiangyang sighed: "Wow, such a high-end temple, how much does it cost? The abbot of this temple must be a rich man."

Bai Tang said: "That's not true. I heard from my parents that these temples receive donations from many believers every year, and the amount of donations is unimaginable. For these beliefs, some people are very fanatical. Wealthy, but I can sell my house and car and use the money to support these eminent monks. My parents also donated a lot of money.”

Guo Na asked: "Then what do these eminent monks do with the money? They are not pure-hearted, and they can't spend much money."

Baitang: "I don't know either. It should be used to build temples and do some rituals or something."

Chen Xingyang: "Hmph, it's difficult for the state to raise funds in this way to supervise, and there is a risk of tax evasion. Anyway, I think their money has no valuable use."

Yu Fan: "You can't say that. Because of these religious organizations, the crime rate in many places will drop a lot. With temples, when people are upset, at least they have a quiet place to put their restless souls."

Chen Xingyang sneered, and said, "A restless soul? Someone like Zuo Cequan? I see, sometimes this place looks bright and beautiful, but there are so many shady things behind it."

"Hey? Look, what is that doing?" Guo Na's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there seemed to be some movement in the temple, and people's heads were surging.

Everyone looked at it for themselves, it seemed that a group of people were scrambling to carry a big sign.

Baitang: "Wow!!! What a coincidence? That sign is very likely to be the 'Daxiong Palace' sign on the top of the main hall of the temple. Could it be that today is just in time for the listing ceremony of the main hall? This is too coincidental."

Yu Fan: "It's better to come early than coincidentally. Come on, let's hurry up, how can we miss such a 'good thing'?"
