Chapter 2 Guanguo Temple

Early the next morning, before Wang Yi got up, Wang Chuangen had already started knocking on the door and calling people.

Wang Yi's eyes were blurred, and he groped forward to get his glasses. He turned on his phone and saw that it was only half past six. Hearing Wang Chuangen's voice calling someone outside, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Yawning, I opened the door and saw Wang Chuangen saying angrily: "The sun is shining on my butt, and I haven't even planned to get up yet."

"Uncle, you have to be conscientious." Wang Yi smiled bitterly: "Have you ever seen any young man get up at half past six?"

"After all, I haven't endured any hardships. Forget it, pack up quickly and get ready to go to Guanguo Temple."

Wang Yi took a deep breath to wake himself up. He remembered the temple opening ceremony that his uncle mentioned yesterday, so he didn’t say much. He took a basin of cold water, washed briefly, and then went straight to the entrance of the village with Wang Chuangen, and each ordered a bowl of beef noodles.

Plus a few tea eggs.

Wang Yi rushed to buy the order. During a break from eating fans, he lowered his head and asked Wang Chuangen: "Uncle, should we prepare anything for the temple opening ceremony?"

Wang Chuangen took a sip of powder, glanced at him sideways, and snorted: "It's hard for you to know how to prepare things. I thought you didn't care about anything."

Wang Yi's face turned red and he scratched his head.

Seeing him like that, Wang Chuangen didn't show any concern and continued: "Your aunt has prepared one for you. We will go to town to take the bus later, so we can just go to the store to get it."

"Then I have to thank you very much." Wang Yi hurriedly peeled off a tea egg for Wang Chuangen.

Seeing him like that, Wang Chuangen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and continued eating noodles without saying anything.

After eating the noodles, the two rode someone else's tricycle to the town and went straight to Wang Chuangen's wife's shop.

Wang Chuangen’s wife’s name is Ma Jinhua. She fled from Lu Province and came to Hunan Province. Later she met Wang Chuangen’s father and bought her with a bag of rice and became Wang Chuangen’s wife. The two grew up from scratch and supported each other through the years.

.

Ma Jinhua gave birth to four sons and three daughters for Wang Chuangen. She has the magnanimity and generosity of people from Lu Province, and she is willing to help others. There is no one in Pingtian Village who doesn’t give him a thumbs up. It can be said that Wang Chuangen is at least half as qualified as her to be the village chief.

After the policy was liberalized, she also seized the opportunity to open a non-staple food shop in the town, specializing in Shandong specialty snacks. Gradually, it became a well-known old shop. Later, people often said that Wang Chuangen’s father became famous

Fortunately, a bag of rice was brought back to Lao Wang's family in exchange for a real golden flower.

Ma Jinhua was busy in the store when she saw Wang Yi and Wang Chuangen approaching from a distance. She immediately greeted them with a round face and a smile.

"You little bastard, I won't tell your aunt when you come back. I'll see if she doesn't hurt you!"

The loud voice shouted out with a refreshing sound that could be heard from all over the country.

Wang Yi didn't feel noisy at all, but felt moved in his heart. Recalling that half a month ago, it was Ma Jinhua who helped with the internal and external arrangements so that grandma could go up the mountain safely. When she saw her again now, she couldn't help but call out affectionately.

"aunt!"

Ma Jinhua was tall and tall. She reached out and patted Wang Yi on the head and said, "The things are in the store. Remember to come back early with your uncle. I'll give you some soy pork elbow to eat tonight."

"Hey!" Wang Yi nodded heavily, and Wang Chuangen and he took the things and went straight to the bus station in the town and got on the bus to Guanguo Temple.

There were so many people on the bus today. Basically everyone was holding incense, candles, paper wax, and they were probably going to attend the temple opening ceremony. Fortunately, he and the uncle came early, otherwise they wouldn’t even have a seat. He

This physique really allows him to stand for an hour, and he will probably be hanging up the mountain later.

Because he got up too early, he fell asleep shortly after getting in the car. I don’t know how long it took, but the car braked and his body suddenly rushed forward. Wang Yi was woken up. Then he heard Wang Chuangen in his ear.

Shouting: "We're here, we're here, wake up!"

Wang Yi wiped his saliva and looked around blankly. It took him a while to come back to his senses and quickly followed Wang Chuangen out of the car.

The car parked on a large dirt flat, which had obviously been temporarily leveled with an excavator as a parking place for today's temple opening ceremony.

Although it was just before nine o'clock, as far as I could see, there were already cars parked. The road up the mountain was already crowded with pilgrims coming to attend the ceremony.

Guanguo Temple is located on Guanguo Mountain and is very famous throughout De City. Its history can even be traced back to the period of Ming Shenzong. When there was a drought in De City, Ming Shenzong built a temple to pray for rain. The temple was built and the rain fell. So people started to pray for rain.

Legend has it that there is a real Bodhisattva in the temple, which has been passed down from generation to generation, making Guanguo Temple even more mysterious. At least Wang Yi's grandmother was a loyal believer in Guanguo Temple.

The process of going up the mountain is very difficult. As a scenic spot, Guanguo Temple has done a good job in environmental protection. It is full of greenery and steep peaks along the way. Pheasants and hares that are usually rare in the city can be seen occasionally here.

You can see that sometimes monkeys even pop out to beg for food from tourists.

At first, Wang Yi thought it was quite strange and interesting. But after walking for half an hour, his whole calf was trembling. When he saw that he hadn't even walked half the distance, his face turned blue and he wished he could kick his butt.

Sitting on the ground and never getting up.

"What! You can't walk anymore?" Wang Chuangen suddenly spoke, and said with a hint of contempt: "You can't even beat an old man like me. Little brat, you are so fat, you need to exercise hard."

Hearing Wang Chuangen's words, Wang Chuangen felt furious. He wiped the sweat from his head, gritted his teeth and followed the crowd up again.

after an hour

"finally reached."

Wang Yiyi lay on his back on the ground, unable to even out his energy for a long time. For a fat man, today he has completed at least two months of exercise.

"stand up!"

Wang Chuangen patted his head and said angrily: "So many people are watching, what does it look like?"

"Let them go, I just want to lie down now!"

Wang Yi is like a salted fish, weak and weak.

"Hey, brat!"

But this time Wang Chuangen did not urge him again, but lit a cigarette, sat next to him, said nothing, and smoked silently.

After five minutes, when he had probably regained some strength, Wang Yi stood up, called Wang Chuangen and walked towards the temple.

In Wang Yi's memory, Guanguo Temple used to be a bit desolate and dilapidated. However, after the government allocated funds for repairs, two new temples were built, which were quite grand. Even just looking at the newly made plaque in front of the gate of Guanguo Temple, it was already

There was a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

Originally, Guanguo Temple usually only had three monks practicing, but for today's opening ceremony of the temple, considering the large number of pilgrims and the fact that leaders from the county and city would come over, the Hunan Buddhist Association temporarily arranged for the eminent monk from Yuelu Mountain to receive the Buddhist teachings.

Six disciples came to help prepare.

Fa Guang wears glasses and looks kind-hearted. He is standing in the main hall and guiding pilgrims to pay homage.

Wang Yi and Wang Chuangen had been mingling with the crowd since they entered the temple. They did whatever others did. By the time they kowtowed to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in each hall, it was already past noon.

In this hot summer, fortunately the mountains have good greenery and the altitude is high, so the temperature is not too high. Otherwise, so many people today would have suffered a heat stroke and a third of them would have collapsed.

This group of people, after visiting various temples, the last highlight was to visit Sakyamuni Tathagata in the main hall, receive blessings from Master Faguang, and then donate money for scented oil.

"Xiaoyi, do you have any change with you? If not, I'll give you some."

"Don't worry, uncle, I've brought it." Although he didn't know what to do for the temple opening ceremony, it was always right to donate money, so he had already prepared the sesame oil money this morning.

After a set of procedures was completed, the pilgrims began to donate 500 yuan, which was recorded by a special monk, and they would be specially chanted and prayed for in the future.

When Wang Yi arrived, he took out an envelope from the bag he was carrying and said to the pilgrim monk: "Master, I have ten thousand here."

The pilgrim monk stopped writing with his hand and looked up to see a fat face. At first he thought he had met a nouveau riche, but seeing that his clothes were extremely simple, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Did the donor make a mistake?"

"That's right." Wang Yi said softly: "This is ten thousand. Master, please click on it."

Guanguo Temple is located in Taohua County, and most of the people who came today are residents from the surrounding towns and villages of Taohua County. Moreover, Taohua County is a small county, and there are many rich people, but most of them are working outside. No matter how much charity they give, it is nothing more than

There were 1,200, but most of them were 510. When he came out, it immediately caused a commotion. Even Fa Guang noticed this and couldn't help but take a second look.

"Xiao Yi, what kind of plane do you want?" Wang Chuangen pulled his sleeve and whispered in his ear: "A donation of several hundred is enough. Why are you donating so much?"

"Sir, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I've donated everything. Are you still asking me to regret it in front of the Buddha?" After speaking, he raised his eyebrows in the direction of the Buddha.

Why was the old man afraid of this? Wang Chuangen immediately did not dare to speak.

At this moment, a voice sounded in his ear, the voice was soft and soothing

"Donor, I heard that you donated a huge sum of money, but I still want to advise you to do it according to your ability. What you want to pray to the Buddha is sincerity. Don't use your family's money to worship the Buddha. Otherwise, even if you give tens of thousands of money, it will be a sin. On the contrary, even if you just give,

One article means a vast field of blessing."

At some point, Master Faguang had already walked up to Wang Yi, clasped his hands together and saluted.

Wang Yi quickly returned the gift and said seriously: "Of course I understand what the master said. But my grandma was a believer of Guanguo Temple when she was alive. Now that I have returned to my hometown and still have some energy left, I naturally hope to contribute more when encountering such a grand event.

I believe grandma won’t blame me.”

"Amitabha!" Faguang recited the Buddha's name and bowed: "In that case, the poor monk would like to thank the donor for his charity on behalf of the whole family of Guanguo Temple."

Several monks behind him also followed suit and bowed. Wang Yi was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no need!"

By the time it was finished here, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Guanguo Temple had prepared a vegetarian meal today, and anyone who came could have a meal. However, for the two carnivores, Wang Yi and Wang Chuangen, it was a bit like chewing wax.

Especially since Wang Yi was still thinking about Ma Jinhua's big elbow, he simply dealt with the two of them and was ready to go down the mountain and go home.

"Donor, wait a moment!"

As soon as the two of them reached the square, a shout suddenly came from behind them. As soon as Wang turned his head, he saw the pilgrims and monks in the main hall running towards him.

"We've finally caught up!" the pilgrim monk wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Wang Yi was a little confused: "Master, I don't know why you called me to stop. What's the matter?"

The pilgrim monk took out a book bound with blue leather and thread from his arms and handed it to Wang: "Master Faguang said that he saw the donor in the main hall today and observed that you have a weak voice, shortness of breath, and weak breath. It is because of the loss of the five internal organs.

It is a state of depletion of nourishment and essence and blood. So let me bring this book to you."

"It is also said that as long as you insist on practicing it every day, your body will be greatly improved within a year."

"What?" Wang Yi held the book, and the words 'Yi Jin Marrow Cleansing Sutra' came into view, and he stuttered a little: "Wu... Wu... Wulin secret book?"

"The donor is joking." The pilgrim monk smiled slightly: "This is just a common health-preserving exercise that is widely circulated in the temple. What are some martial arts secrets? The donor next to you can also practice it with you, and it will still be of some benefit."

"Then please thank Master Faguang for me." Wang Yi scratched his nose and quickly thanked him.
