Huang Huai and Chen Wei are responsible for the right side hall of the main halls of Xunzhen Temple, which enshrines the statue of Emperor Guan Sheng, the statue of Avalokitesvara, and the statue of Fu, Lu and Shou, a total of five statues. The left side hall enshrines the statue. There are several statues such as the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, the Yuelao God, and the Maitreya Buddha.
As Chen Wei said before, the number of tourists who come to Xunzhen Temple to offer incense and worship gods has greatly increased in these days. From the time Xunzhen Temple opened its doors, it can be said that tourists have been coming in and out in a steady stream.
It’s not surprising that Chinese people pay attention to one etiquette and many people do it, and things like offering incense and worshiping gods are no exception. I can’t say that everyone will offer incense when entering the temple, but almost half of them do it even if they just want to seek spiritual sustenance. They would worship the statues of gods devoutly and offer incense and candles.
Huang Huai kept distributing incense and candles, and at the same time observed the gods worshiped by these tourists. The few who worshiped the Guanyin statue were obviously the least, and even there were young couples. Most of the tourists who worship the Three Lucky Stars of Fortune, Luxu and Longevity are older tourists. On the contrary, the statue of Guan Sheng Emperor, who has many roles, attracts the most worshipers regardless of age or gender.
The day passed by in a hurry. According to his statistics alone, at the end of the day, no less than two hundred people entered the side hall to burn incense and worship the gods. He and Chen Weina were really tired.
Looking at the statue of Emperor Guan Sheng surrounded by incense, Huang Huai couldn't help but sigh. There are many statues enshrined in the temple, but if we talk about the amount of incense received, I am afraid that only Emperor Zhenwu who is located in the main hall can be admired. A magnificent statue several meters high can rival it.
If this was placed in the world behind the portal, it would be worshiped by so many incense and wishes. I don’t know whether this statue of Guan Sheng Emperor is better than the statue of the three-eyed white lotus goddess worshiped by the seven elders of Dahemen. weak.
Inexplicably, such a thought flashed through Huang Huai's heart. Together with these thoughts, he thought about what he had been thinking about in the middle of the night last night. At this time, Huang Huai looked at the statue of Guan Sheng Emperor in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal something strange. The look comes.
Chen Wei, who was with Huang Huai, noticed that Huang Huai was standing there staring at the statue of Guan Sheng in a daze. His entranced look made Chen Wei couldn't help but push Huang Huai and joked: "Why are you in a daze? Could it be Guan Sheng?" Has the master appeared?"
After coming back to his senses, Huang Huai rolled his eyes at Chen Wei and said, "If Mr. Guan really shows up, he will be the first to chop you..."
As he spoke, senior brother's shouts came from outside, and Huang Huai responded and left the side hall. Chen Wei, who was behind him, chased after him and shouted: "At least I also offered incense to Mr. Guan. He really showed his spirit. Then You won’t chop me down first…”
In the evening, the gate of Xunzhen Temple was closed. After dinner, everyone went back to rest. Huang Huai went to the residence of Datong people.
In the room, Datong, who was nearly sixty years old, looked at Huang Huai with a rosy complexion and said, "Hey, Xiaojiu, why do you come to see me?"
Huang Huai smiled and said: "My nephew is fine, why don't you come and see your uncle?"
Hearing this, Master Datong couldn't help but glance at Huang Huai and said, "Okay, it would be weird if your kid came to look for me if nothing happened. Tell me, what is it?"
Huang Huai looked straight and said: "Today I was taking care of the side hall, and my nephew found that the statue of Guan Sheng Emperor was about to fall off due to time or something. The golden paint on the back of the statue was about to fall off. I plan to take the statue down the mountain to find it tomorrow. Someone repair it.”
Listening to Huang Huai mentioning business, Master Datong pondered for a moment and said: "If I remember correctly, your father spent a lot of money to carve and polish the statue of the Guan Sheng Emperor from the finest rosewood. Please come up to the mountain in person. Not to mention anything else, the red sandalwood wood weighing more than ten kilograms is worth a lot of money. It's okay for you to go down to the mountain to find someone to repair it, but don't be deceived by others."
As he spoke, Master Datong seemed to be thinking of his clan brother, and couldn't help but smile: "Your father is very fond of him. He told me more than once that with the blessing of the Guan Saint Emperor these years, your boy can grow up alive and kicking. If you break or lose the idol, be careful your father will beat you up!"
Huang Huai chuckled and said: "Uncle, please don't listen to my father's nonsense. Guan Sheng Emperor's blessing is true, but my nephew's good health is indispensable to my uncle's long-term care for me. How much money does my father have saved there? There's a nice jar of tea here. If he wants to mention it again, don't be polite to him..."
The people in Datong couldn't help laughing, waving their hands to Huang Huai and saying: "Okay, I remember, if you don't share the good tea with me, you will not be able to spare your father next time. But when you go down the mountain, remember to pay attention to your safety and go early. Come back early."
Early the next morning, Huang Huai had breakfast, worshiped the statue of the Holy Emperor, and then carefully placed it in a backpack. In the backpack, there were also parcels of books that Huang Huai brought back the day before, and they were packed together with the statue. It's quite heavy in a backpack.
After greeting Chen Wei and others, Huang Huai left the Seeking Truth Monastery and followed the mountain path down the mountain.
In Shiyan, a taxi stopped in front of a very luxuriously decorated jewelry store. A young man got out of the taxi with a backpack on his back, looked at the jewelry store in front of him, and immediately walked into the store.
When Huang Huai walked into the store, he immediately saw a young lady wearing exquisite makeup and a professional skirt walking up to Huang Huai with her straight and slender thighs.
"Handsome, do you need anything?"
A faint smell of perfume hit his face. Huang Huai looked at the other party with a warm smile and said, "My surname is Huang. I made an appointment for a batch of silver bars yesterday. I wonder if I can meet Manager Chen Hongchen."
The sales lady immediately smiled and said: "Look for Sister Hong, come with me!"
Huang Huai consciously followed the sales girl, looking at her swaying figure under her professional skirt, and felt that the air-conditioning effect of the jewelry store seemed not very good.
In front of an office, the sales lady knocked on the door and said: "Sister Hong, Mr. Huang, the scheduled customer, is here!"
"Please come in!"
A soft and pleasant voice came, and the sales lady opened the door and nodded towards Huang Huai: "Mr. Huang, please come in."
Huang Huai walked into the office and saw a figure sitting there, seemingly looking through something. Because he lowered his head, Huang Huai could not see the other person's full face, but he could only see the other person's hair shawl, and his professional suit could not hide it. The convex and concave figure has a certain charm.
Chen Hong raised his head and looked at Huang Huai, with a smile on his oval face. He stood up and said, "Is this Mr. Huang Huai? Our store has prepared the ten kilograms of silver bars you ordered in advance! Are you here?" Do you want to take it away?”
Huang Huai nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"
Chen Hong looked at Huang Huai and said with a smile: "Today's silver transaction price in our store is 5.1 yuan per gram. However, Mr. Huang, you requested to process it into two specifications of silver ingots: one tael of 50 grams and twelve taels of 500 grams. According to regulations, you will be charged The craftsmanship fee is 2 yuan per gram, and the total is 7.1 yuan per gram. Ten kilograms is 71,000 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Huai directly showed his bank card and said: "Swipe your card!"
Chen Hong immediately shouted to the door: "Xiaoyue, go through the procedures for Mr. Huang, remember the invoice."
It's easy to do things if you have money, and the jewelry store works very quickly. In just ten minutes, Huang Huai already got what he wanted.
When Huang Huai came out of the jewelry store, his backpack was already filled with ten kilograms of silver, which suddenly increased by twenty kilograms. The weight of the backpack suddenly increased.
