In recent days, the incense in Qingping Temple has become more prosperous than in the past. There is no other reason. As early as two or three days ago, when someone came to Qingping Temple to add incense and sesame oil, they asked for a lot of peace charms and lit everlasting lanterns. This important gesture , which prompted a lot of gossip, and I found out that he was here to fulfill his wish, saying that the peace amulet from the temple saved his life.
When the man vividly told how he met Qin Liuxi, who had her face approved, spent a hundred taels of silver to buy an amulet, and how he saved the day, some people said they didn't believe it, saying that the other party was invited by Qingpingguan. I am a shill, hoping to make Qingping Temple famous and increase its popularity.
At that time, the man was so angry that he slapped his chest in front of the Grandmaster and said loudly: "If Niu Dashan is really a shill, I will die badly, and the Grandmaster will understand clearly."
This was really brave. Poisonous oaths should not be uttered casually, especially in front of the gods, but this man was so bold that he calmed many suspicious people for a while.
It was a coincidence that someone came to offer incense at that time. At first glance, I heard about Niu Dashan's experience. He also said that at a certain dock, there was a lawsuit against a black boatman who tried to murder a merchant and was killed. The yamen announced that the case was closed. , all the ships in that area had to go to the Yamen to register before they could operate, to ensure the safety of merchants and passengers, and to make it easier to find people in the event of an accident.
Niu Dashan said: "It's me, that merchant is me, can you trust me?"
Only then did everyone believe that it was so powerful, so it was necessary to seek a talisman. It was more expensive, but it worked better than anything else.
This whole day, the peace amulets were out of stock due to exhaustion. Qingyuan sent letters several times before welcoming the ancestor Qin Liuxi.
Seeing that Yu Changkong was also coming, he said, "Hey, Master Changkong, are you feeling better now?"
Yu Changkong looked at the shadow in Qingyuan and made a long bow: "Thank you, Taoist Priest Qingyuan, for the introduction. Changkong is doing well."
"Okay, Mr. Changkong, you go shopping first. I'll ask my senior...brother to draw some peace charms. There are good people waiting for you." Qingyuan said with a smile.
Qin Liuxi said: "I haven't had lunch yet."
"I asked Aunt Lu to make shortbread and four-red porridge for you." Qingyuan pushed her and whispered: "Quick, let's see there are still many places waiting for repairs."
While the incense is in full swing, hurry up and pick it up, no, hurry up and show more kindness!
Qin Liuxi: "!"
Yu Changkong watched the two of them go to the living room and twitched his lips. He didn't know if he heard wrongly. Just now he heard that Taoist Priest Qingyuan called Qin Liuxi and his tone was choked.
Senior brother?
"Sir, should we eat fast first?" Uncle Qian said.
Yu Changkong touched his belly and said, "That's fine."
It should take a long time for this Taoist to draw the talisman. He has to burn incense and meditate, and he has to appeal to the gods. Not to mention that there are many people waiting to hear Qingyuan's meaning. It should be quite time-consuming.
But what he thought was time-consuming was just a fasting meal, and Qin Liuxi had already appeared in sight.
Yu Changkong stood up and asked: "Master, are you hungry? Do you want to eat first and then draw the talisman?"
"The painting is finished."
"Ah?" Yu Changkong said: "One?"
"How come, do you think I am a tortoise? I am the fastest at drawing talisman. I have drawn hundreds of them, enough to last until the New Year!" Qin Liuxi rubbed his wrist.
"Yes, hundreds of them?" Sifang was confused and asked, "Is the peace talisman so easy to draw?"
"It's not easy for others, but it's easy for me. I'm very powerful." Qin Liuxi said proudly: "I know how to create a talisman with a little aura in the legend."
Yu Changkong lowered his eyes and covered the overflowing smile in his eyes. He heard this more than once.
Uncle Qian said: "Sir, let's ask for a few talismans. It's almost the Double Ninth Festival. Please ask for a few for peace of mind."
"Okay." Yu Changkong said again: "Light two more ever-burning lanterns."
Qin Liuxi's eyes were bright: "Want a light? Come on, come on, I'll take you there!"
The ever-burning lantern is lit all year round to pray for blessings, but it consumes a lot of sesame oil.
The group of people went to the main hall. Qin Liuxi twisted three incense sticks and lit them. He bowed in front of his chest several times and inserted them in front of the incense burner one by one.
She then saw Yu Changkong holding the incense, so she stepped forward and moved the position of the incense offering for him: "When offering incense, you should hold the incense with both hands and hold it flat on your chest. This is called "heart fragrance"."
Her hand was warm, soft and warm when she took his hand to adjust its position.
Yu Changkong put aside his distracting thoughts and held the incense and saluted three times before inserting the incense under her guidance.
"What are your parents' names?" Qin Liuxi said, "I will light a candle for them."
Yu Changkong was stunned for a moment. She actually knew that she ordered it for her parents.
Jade green cypress, cloud bamboo shadow.
Two names came out of his mouth.
"Covered with bamboo and cypress shadows, what night has no moon, and where is no bamboo and cypress? ①" Qin Liuxi recited a sentence and said: "The names of the old friends match each other, and they must have been the couple of gods and immortals during their lifetimes."
"Yes." Yu Changkong's fingertips trembled slightly. Watching her light two everlasting lamps and offer them in front of the gods, she felt a surge of longing.
Dad, Mom, my son misses you.
Qin Liuxi put down the two lamps and turned his head. Seeing his rising emotions, he did not bother him and silently stepped aside, watching the pilgrims come to pray and kneel to greet him.
A young couple, dressed simply and with patches sewn on, entered the temple together, using the incense they brought with them to pray silently, but what they asked for was...
Seeking a child?
Qin Liuxi took a step forward, wanting to move to a side hall to ask for his son. There was a birth attendant, but after looking at the two of them, he took a lottery tube.
Seeing that they had finished kneeling and praying, the young man helped the woman to stand up and said: "They say that the Qingpingguan Peace Talisman is very effective. We will ask the Taoist Master for one later, or see if there is a child-giving talisman for one. I think we will do it soon." You will get what you want.”
The woman gave a forced smile: "I hope so."
Qin Liuxi stepped forward and handed the lottery tube over with a smile: "Both of you, please sign for me. It's free."
The two people were stunned and looked at each other. The woman saw Qin Liuxi handing over the lottery tube, hesitated for a while, then took it, knelt down again, closed her eyes, and shook the lottery tube silently in her heart.
Swish, swish, swish.
The sticks in the tube shook, and after a while, one fell out. The woman opened her eyes, picked up the sticks and took a look.
The fifty-ninth lot of Guandi's spiritual lot is Jiren and Zhongping.
Qin Liuxi took it from her hand and looked at it, and said: "Deng Bodao has no children. He is a lonely man with a declining family. It's a pity that his prayers are in vain. Fortunately, the ancestors are still there, and the cigarettes are not broken. What do you want? I don’t want to!”
The expressions of the two of them changed just when they heard the words "childless". When Qin Liuxi said that what he wanted was not what he wanted, the woman even trembled and tilted to the side, her eyes turning red.
The young man was a little angry. He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and scolded: "Who are you? You are not a Taoist priest from Guanzhong. How can you talk nonsense and scare people? Madam, let's go, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Qin Liuxi was not annoyed. When he turned around, he said, "Good man, it's you who have no children, not your wife!"
Push it up, add an update, ask for monthly votes, and continue to survive!
