Speaking of the Chenghuang Temple, it can be said to be very popular in the local area.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is far superior to nearby Taoist temples and temples, and can be compared with the Jiuding Tiezha Mountain, which enshrines Black Mama (Note 1), and the Jiangjun Temple, which enshrines the brave general.
The Chenghuang Temple was rebuilt more than 20 years ago with the help of a benevolent businessman named Chen Fu.
The City God enshrined inside is an image of an old woman: holding a long gold-inlaid jade tobacco rod in one hand and the City God's seal in the other.
According to what the old man said, when you enter the City God's Temple to worship, you cannot call the City God Lord, you have to call grandma.
But why it is called that, no one can explain clearly.
I only know that Grandma Chenghuang is very compassionate and efficacious. If someone has a big or small problem, she goes to the temple and talks about it, and it usually works.
Of course, it is limited to that kind of simple and unpretentious wish.
If you want to become a billionaire or the President of the United States, you don't need to come to the Chenghuang Temple, just sleep at home.
There is everything in the dream...
So early the next morning, Zhao Youliang had just finished packing things in the paper shop when he heard Sister Yingchun calling him outside the door.
Zhao Youliang, who hurried out to greet her, was still a little worried: "Sister, why did you get up so early today?"
"Did something evil happen to you last night?"
Mrs. Yingchun smiled and shook her head: "We have never done anything untoward, why do evil things always come to us!"
"Today I'm here to take you to the City God's Temple. Go inside to pay homage to Grandma City God, and ask her to be merciful and keep you safe."
Mrs. Yingchun didn't wait for Zhao Youliang to answer after she finished speaking, Huang Yu's voice sounded in his ears.
"Quantum, you have to go, good for you!"
"Actually, I should have suggested you go a long time ago. It's my fault that I didn't think of this for a while."
"Also, you must be respectful when entering the City God's Temple. If the City God is willing to show mercy, all your problems will be solved!"
The City God's Temple is far away from the town, at least beyond the range where Zhao Youliang can move freely.
Therefore, he could only carry the prayer wheel given to him by the red lama.
While picking up the prayer wheel, Zhao Youliang, who had always been cautious, suddenly asked Huang Yu secretly.
"Brother, can I bring the monk's belongings to the City God's Temple?"
"Will Grandma Cheng Huang be angry?"
Huang Yu admired Zhao Youliang's attentiveness very much.
Hearing this, he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Quantum. Grandma City God is a real great god. How could she care about a mere Buddhist magical weapon?"
"There is a saying you should remember: a high-ranking monk will not destroy the Tao, and a high-ranking Taoist will not degrade the monks."
"Although Grandma Chenghuang is neither a monk nor a Taoist, her ambition and cultivation far surpass those of many Buddhist and Taoist masters."
"Anyway, you have to respect it!"
Huang Yu's earnest advice made Zhao Youliang even more curious about this city god's grandma.
In order to show enough respect, Zhao Youliang took a special shower before leaving and put on clean clothes from inside to outside.
Take a shower, change clothes, and worship God quietly.
Because the journey was far, Mrs. Yingchun specially took a taxi.
After agreeing on the price, he was about to get in the car when he was spotted by Xiao Li who was waiting for the job.
"Oh, sister, Quantum, what are you two doing!"
"You can just go out and look for me in your car. Why would you look for someone else?!"
"Why, you treat me like an outsider!"
As Xiao Li spoke, he couldn't help but pull Zhao Youliang and the two into his car, and at the same time said to the driver of the car.
"Sorry bro, I'm an acquaintance."
The driver obviously knew Xiao Li, and he just smiled and nodded.
Although Sister Yingchun has a fierce personality, she is very understanding of other people's difficulties.
As the saying goes: Only when you have been caught in the rain can you know how to hold an umbrella for others.
Therefore, I had to give Xiao Li the fare, otherwise I would rather not sit.
However, Xiao Li tried to evade it in every possible way, saying that after going through so many things, am I still a human being if I ask for your money again?
Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, Zhao Youliang finally became the peacemaker.
"Sister, Li Mao, you two don't be polite."
"In my opinion, this is it: sister, you don't need to pay me, we can just invite Li Mao to have barbecue tonight."
"Call Brother Chen again and let the four of us have a drink."
Zhao Youliang's proposal was immediately approved unanimously, and the matter was settled.
The driver, Li Mao, was a talkative person: along the way, Zhao Youliang heard many things from him about the city god's grandma.
For example, this city god’s grandma once set rules in a dream:
You are never allowed to sell incense, candles, or other sacrificial items in your own temple.
People who come to worship and talk about things can bring their own, even if they don’t burn incense, the city god will treat them equally.
In short, it is not making money from the common people.
In addition, Grandma Chenghuang has three helpers:
The number one lazy person is those who seek something for nothing and don’t help.
The second idiot is a man who blames a woman for not helping, that is, someone who is looking for life and death for the so-called love, and does not even consider the feelings of his parents.
Third, corrupt officials, local hooligans, etc. who don’t help deserve to die.
Through driver Xiao Li's narration, the image of the city god's grandma gradually became three-dimensional in Zhao Youliang's mind.
She must be an old lady with a straightforward character and a hatred of evil!
When he arrived at the Chenghuang Temple, Zhao Youliang found that the place was really prosperous, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going!
How specific is it? Let's put it this way: Zhao Youliang and the three of them waited in line for two hours before finally entering the temple with the flow of people.
Just like what Xiao Li said, no one really sells incense candles after entering.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yingchun was prepared and hurriedly lit the incense she brought.
Then he took Zhao Youliang with him and kowtowed three times and nine times to the statue in front of him respectfully.
Although everyone made their wishes silently, it didn't take a guess to know that Mrs. Yingchun's prayer must be that Zhao Youliang would be safe and not be killed by the weird paper shop.
Zhao Youliang begged that his adoptive father could recover, that Yingchun's sister-in-law could be safe, that his sister could successfully take the postgraduate entrance examination, and that he would not be killed by a paper shop.
But just after he made his wish, Zhao Youliang suddenly realized something was wrong: Was his request too much? A bit greedy?
So after thinking about it for a while, I "delete" the last wish, which was the one about myself.
"Grandma Cheng Huang, as long as my father, my sister, and Sister Yingchun can be healthy and safe, I beg you!"
Just after Zhao Youliang changed his wish in a very low voice, he seemed to vaguely hear a voice coming from the statue of the City God.
"A good boy is rare, rare!"
Zhao Youliang was stunned when he heard this: Could it be that the city god's grandma really showed up? !
He originally wanted to look up at the tall statue, but then he thought it was rude and disrespectful to the city god, so he could only hold back.
But the kowtows got louder...
