Big Islander 2

Chapter 367 Four Great Temples

The prince's wedding ended in a lively manner. As a representative of the man's family and friends, Tang Jide once again showed his demeanor that he would not be drunk after a thousand cups. He overwhelmed the guests one by one, even Wang Ziwei's father was not spared.

The animal companions who contributed to the wedding ceremony also participated in the wedding banquet. They were originally legal residents of Peach Blossom Island, so it was not unusual to see an orangutan drinking with a human.

It's just that the orangutans have limited alcohol capacity, and before Tang Jide came to toast, they all got down on the ground.On the contrary, Xiaobai and Daguai's family did everything they could, and won the reputation of "wine barrel" on the basis of the rice barrel.

As the saying goes, there is no never-ending banquet in the world, and it is not until dusk that the feast ends.Island Master Tang finally shook a little. When he was about to go back to sleep, he found Da Xing and the pheasants sneaking around near the new house, so he laughed a few times and ignored it.

When I was having breakfast the next day, I heard the pheasant open the forum with great interest: "Let me tell you, I almost died laughing last night, wow quack -"

Everyone knew that what it was talking about must be listening to the bed root, so they all pricked up their ears, including Tang Jide.But the pheasant kept quacking, but he refused to get to the point. Finally, the tomboy became anxious: "Pheasant, you should hurry up!"

"This is a bit unsuitable for women and children. I'll talk to Datou alone after you leave." Pheasant understands the truth that rare goods can live, so of course he won't spit it out easily.

Although they were itchy in their hearts, those girls were still embarrassed to continue asking, and they all put down their chopsticks and left.Only then did the pheasant come closer to Tang Jide: "I'm telling you—wow quack—we just watch, we don't talk—"

Tang Jide tapped it on the head with his chopsticks: "Go and enjoy yourself, no one cares about you."

As for what the pheasant heard, no one knew in the end. Anyway, in the end, Mr. Yeji stopped laughing: no matter what it is, it is meaningless without an audience.

In the end, Tang Jide learned something from the prince, which probably meant this: On the wedding night, a group of dogs stayed in the new house and refused to leave; The eyes are flickering - we just look, we don't talk.In the end, the bride, Wang Ziwei, slept all night with her little curly hair in her arms.

How could this be possible? Tang Jide immediately sent Xiao Xiami to lead all these blind bulbs to the main island to see his old friend Sanli, which relieved the embarrassment of the newlyweds.

Three days later, the couple boarded a plane back to Hong Kong Island, where they will hold a Western-style wedding.After all, the Wang family is considered extremely rich in Hong Kong Island, and they have no sons, only two daughters, so they attach great importance to this wedding.

As a group of relatives and friends of the man, Tang Jide certainly led a large group of people to Hong Kong Island to stand up and cheer for the prince.Because the owner of Peach Blossom Island came to Hong Kong Island, in the end even Mr. President came to the cathedral to join him, not to mention other rich people and celebrities from all walks of life on Hong Kong Island.

Probably because of peers, watching the priest preside over the wedding ceremony with a serious and solemn atmosphere, Ye Ji couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous: "It's boring, it's not lively at all, this old man is far worse than me."

Tang Jide disagrees with this statement: Chinese and Western weddings have their own characteristics, mainly because of differences in beliefs and customs, but because Christianity has a wide range of beliefs in the world, so European and American regions and those regions are affected by it. Far-reaching places, are more focused on Western-style weddings.

At this time, the second senior brother next to him suddenly said softly: "There are quite a few people who travel to our Peach Blossom Island every year to get married. Should we also consider building a church?"

When it comes to belief issues, it has always been a fundamental issue of the country, so the second senior brother dare not make a decision lightly, and the island owner must make a decision.

Although according to international practice, many countries have freedom of belief, but in reality, it is not so simple. In many cases, religion also serves the country.

For Peach Blossom Island, the issue of belief is also quite confusing: most people, headed by Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami, believe in nature if they believe in it; a small number of residents from the mainland and Hong Kong Island believe in Buddhism ; from Western countries, most of them believe in God; there is also a small group of fans who belong to Shagu, who also follow her to believe in Christianity; there are also aboriginal people in Haijiao Village, most of them believe in Mazu...

"As soon as you said it, I remembered it. The silly girl also said that a mosque was going to be built. I almost forgot about this important event. Let's build it together with the church. But the money for the mosque will come from my small treasury. " Tang Jide doesn't care about beliefs or not. Although Peach Blossom Island is a monarchy in name, the residents actually enjoy great freedom, at least much better than those countries that claim to be free and democratic on the surface.

The second senior brother can understand that Datou is willing to spend money privately. After all, the main people who believe in Datou are Shagu and a few others, and he also knows that the small treasury of the owner of Datou Island is full of funds, so it is good to spend it for him. Otherwise, what to do if it rusts after a long time.The key is whether there will be conflicts and contradictions when churches and mosques are built.You know, there are too many examples of conflicts caused by issues of belief.

Telling Tang Jide about his concerns, Tang Datou blinked his small eyes twice: "Second senior brother, you worry too much. The so-called belief is nothing more than spiritual sustenance. In our Peach Blossom Island, there will never be spiritual emptiness, so you can rest assured Do it boldly. By the way, second senior brother, you have learned some scriptures anyway, so let’s build another temple. The three buildings are built next to each other, and the scale is about the same, so that no one will say that we are biased.”

The second senior brother couldn't help combing his hair with a small rake: this is lively enough, the monk is beating on the wooden fish to recite scriptures, the Koran is recited next to it, and there are people singing hymns on the other side, is it chaotic?

I was wondering whether Tang Datou's proposal was feasible, so I heard him say again: "By the way, let's build another natural temple. Our Peach Blossom Island also has its own state religion. This natural temple, Of course, it’s a little bigger than the other three—”

"Build me a temple too, it's called the Pheasant Temple." The pheasant next to him also stretched his neck to join in the fun.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head: "You're still early, and I'll build you another one after you kick your legs."

When the pheasant heard this, he was furious: "Big head, success is achieved by diligence and thrift, and failure is by extravagance. I think back in the past, Qin Shihuang built the Lishan Mausoleum, and the Great Qin Empire collapsed; Egyptian Pharaoh built pyramids, wasting money and ruining the country, and died; you have just spent two days in Tang Dynasty. There is a lot of construction work every day, and I don't think it is far from bad luck!"

I have to say that the pheasant is as good as the little shrimp.But of course Tang Jide scoffed at this. Compared with other constructions on Zhedao, these are small projects, not as serious as the pheasant said.

So after attending the prince's wedding, the second senior brother began to look for professionals and began to build churches and temples.As usual, Tang Jide was the shopkeeper, but only asked in a general direction: to comply with the teachings of various religions, and not to make things look like churches, churches, and temples.

As for the natural temple with the characteristics of Peach Blossom Island, it was designed by the genius girl Xiao Xiami. Anyway, if it is at Tang Jide's level, it is estimated that only one earth temple can be created.

After attending the prince's wedding, Tang Jide declined some invitations and returned directly to Peach Blossom Island. Instead of participating in meaningless entertainment, he might as well go back and play football with the orangutans.By the way, big brother is not hypocritical, he really thinks so.

On this day, the Taohua Island football team was having a training match with the orangutan detachment. Tang Jide was about to break through with the ball and was about to shoot, when he suddenly heard someone yelling from the field: "Big head, Allah is calling to you, Allah—"

As a result, the big head brother's foot was soft and he shot the ball into the side net.As soon as he heard the sound, he knew it was a pheasant, so he rushed over angrily, ready to reward it with two feet.Unexpectedly, after the game was over, he saw the pheasant triumphantly landed on Shagu's shoulders, it seemed that this guy also knew how to bully others.

Next to the silly girl, there was still standing this silver-bearded old man in a black robe and a black turban, so he ignored the pheasant, and quickly stretched out his hands to shake each other, and said "Sai" Two trees".At any rate, the big brother also took an Arab wife, so it is still possible to meet and say hello.

The old man has an extraordinary bearing, and his eyes are not dimmed at all. On the contrary, when he is looking at Tang Jide, they are shining with wisdom, as if he can see through all the hypocrisy in the world, and he also sees that Tang Jide is a little confused: I didn't hear the silly girl say that she is still Have a grandpa?

After staring at Tang Jide for more than a minute, the old man nodded slightly, with a satisfied look on his face.Tang Jide finally breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that he has passed the test.

So he asked the silly girl in a low voice, "Who is this old man?"

There was also a smile in Shagu's blue eyes: "This is Yassin from the Great Mosque in the holy city of Mecca. He is a respectable imam." After the formal introduction, he gave a soft voice to Tang Datou explained, and Tang Jide finally figured out that the Great Mosque of Mecca is the holy place in the hearts of Christians, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, and the place where believers go for pilgrimage. It is said that at most times, There are millions of pilgrims gathered there, what a spectacular scene.

The so-called Imam is also the "leader of worship". ***When praying, all participants must obey the imam's leadership and complete the prayer ceremony according to the imam's requirements.Usually, only learned and respected wise men are eligible to become apprentices.

"This is equivalent to the presiding officer in the monk temple?" Tang Jide finally got a little enlightened.

Sha Gu smiled and nodded, but there is still a difference between the two. Monks are "professionals", while apprentices have no restrictions. They don't have to be professional priests, as long as they are highly respected.

"It's fine, what is this old man doing all the way to our Peach Blossom Island?" Perhaps influenced by Xiaojian Saifu, Tang Jide was very vigilant when he saw these hooded people.

"I heard that we are going to build a mosque on Peach Blossom Island, and Grandpa Yassin came here to guide us." Sha Gu was very happy. First, she saw her compatriots. Second, she was really happy about Tang Jide's building a mosque. , even if she took out all her savings, she would not hesitate.

It turned out that they were here for assistance—— Tang Jide felt relieved, and just as he was about to say a few words of politeness, he heard the pheasant next to him chanting again: "Amitabha, big head, the poor monk is here to save you, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless and the shore is right—"

You guys are sick today!Tang Jide decided to clean up the crow's mouth, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Xiami leading an old monk in a red cassock to this side.

"Run big head, the monk asked you to beg for alms, and there is no one who can't get rid of [-] million." Pheasant reminded Tang Jide kindly.

Tang Jide couldn't help scratching the back of his head: What's the origin of this guy?
