Chapter Two Hundred and Seventeen Dreams Come True
Everything seems to be normal, and there is no flaw anywhere. In fact, it is the biggest flaw.
It is good that the Empress Temple responds to requests, and it is a great thing for believers, but it must be a real response to requests.
Xingfu Temple enshrines the real Buddha. Even the Buddha cannot respond to requests. How can a little-known Empress Temple in a remote area do so?
If there weren't some clever monks among them who were pretending to be gods and confuse the people of this town, then it would be a ghost. The Empress Temple does not look very tall and majestic. On the contrary, it is just a small courtyard with a main room inside.
A clay statue of the so-called "Empress" looks to be quite old. The clay body is still wrapped in red cloth, and underneath is a sacrificial offering.
There was a table with a memorial tablet and an incense burner, and there were all kinds of tributes on it. It was a mess, including fruits, eggs, pig heads, and everything else.
There is no threshold, only a large futon, which has been worn bare, and I don’t know how many people have knelt there. There is a large incense burner in the center of the courtyard, which is used for people to burn incense. It is filled with smoke at the moment.
There are no temple blessings or presiding in the Empress Temple. It seems that people spontaneously maintain the incense here.
How can such a small and ruined temple respond to all requests? Even Shen Fengshu would not believe it.
Seeing this situation, it was impossible for Shen Fengshu and others to really bow down. On the other hand, the people who came to burn incense were not surprised. There was an enthusiastic aunt who even took the initiative to give some advice. "Everyone who comes here for the first time is like this."
He smiled kindly: "When I came here for the first time, I didn't really believe it, but I was just here thinking about something I wanted to do. I felt something when I went back that day. Do you think it worked or not?"
?”
Is there such a thing? Just think about it? This thing is so powerful at reading minds? After giving guidance to a few newbies, the aunt left with a face full of satisfaction for doing good deeds every day. However, Shen Fengshu noticed that on the left and right sides of the tribute table
There are two tables each, with a thick stack of books-like things on each, and there is even a faint trace of blood on them.
Fishy smell.
While he was wondering, there happened to be another devout woman holding a similar book in her hands and placing it on the table on the right. Then she kowtowed on the futon in the center and began to pray.
From her words, everyone quickly knew the answer. The book was a scripture copied by the woman herself, and she pricked her finger and wrote it stroke by stroke with her own blood, which shows her piety.
Copying blood sutras is often practiced among some devout Buddhists, but in a rural empress temple, is this a bit too much? And it is also copying scriptures, what kind of scriptures? "Think about it carefully.
If you want to do something good or want to achieve it, find a place to live." Shen Fengshu didn't see any flaws here, nor did he notice anything wrong. He just warned everyone, and then everyone stayed here quietly.
After looking at it for a while, he didn’t say anything more and left directly.
Hu Lengshuang, who has the highest level of cultivation, did not feel anything unusual here. He searched back and forth with his spiritual consciousness several times, but found nothing, so he had to leave. Although nothing was found, everyone actually agreed that there must be something here.
Question. Almost all the people in this town are extremely devout to the Empress Temple. It’s because of the Empress Temple that they gather here. Xingfu Temple is so famous.
Big temples have not been able to do this. How could a wild temple in the countryside be so virtuous? "Whether you sleep at night or practice practice, you have to be careful." So we rented a large courtyard on top of the largest inn in the town.
Everyone settled in. After dinner, Shen Fengshu did not forget to tell everyone: "I personally think, what do you want?"
There are no good things, it seems that they can only happen in dreams."
Everyone nodded in understanding, and then went back to their rooms to rest. It was summer, and a cool breeze blew in at night, which made people very comfortable. With Xiaobai and Xiaoqing around, Shen Fengshu didn't have to worry about anything. Mosquito bites or something like that, I read a few pages of the book under the night-light pearl light and felt the cool breeze blowing.
She couldn't help but get up, walked out of the room, and went to the yard to enjoy the cool air. "Young master is so diligent, he stays up to read at night. I don't know what your wishes are, but the little girl is willing to add fragrance to his red sleeves and help him." Shen Feng turned around inadvertently. When I was reading, I saw a young woman dressed in red, with a pretty face.
, Pingpingtingting walked over from the door naturally, and said as he walked.
"Wish?" Shen Fengshu smiled and said, "There are many! But what we, the scholars, want is nothing more than fame and fortune. How can you help?"
"That depends on what kind of fame and fortune the young master wants." The woman in red covered her mouth and asked with a smile.
"You talk so much, I guess you don't understand." Shen Fengshu waved his hand: "To put it more simply, is it okay to get promoted, get rich, and marry a wife?" "Young Master speaks straightforwardly, much more straightforwardly than those nerds." Hong. The purpose of the woman in clothes was to make Shen Fengshu happy, and she followed Shen Fengshu's words and praised her: "How many nerds want to be promoted and make a fortune, but they can't."
I dare not say it out loud, but when I open my mouth, I want to read the books of saints and do saintly things. It is really ridiculous. The most realistic one only says that I want to be named on the gold medal list. Compared with the young master, he is completely different!"
"Comparing me with those nerds who study to death?" Shen Fengshu sneered with disdain: "I don't know what I want and can't say it out loud, and I have read all the books of saints and sages into the dog's belly." That's right!" The woman in red smiled and said: "Nothing can compare with the little Shen Tanhua who was canonized by the emperor himself. However, the young master has a lovely wife and beautiful maids by his side, and the family has a lot of wealth. He is also the Tanhualang bestowed by the emperor, and he only wants to be promoted. Get rich and get a wife
, are you a bit unambitious?"
"Aren't the more of these things the better? Stop talking nonsense, okay?" Shen Fengshu asked irritably, looking like he was greedy for money and lustful.
"Sir, please come to the door!" The woman in red smiled inwardly and stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation.
Shen Fengshu stood up, without saying much nonsense, walked directly to the door, opened the door, and saw a dark crowd of people, lighting torches, as if they were waiting for someone.
It seemed that everyone in the town was there, with a few wealthy and elderly people in the front, and men and women in the back. When they saw Shen Fengshu's figure, everyone pushed the golden mountain to the jade pillar and knelt down. Coming down: "See my lord!"
"What sir?" Shen Fengshu was startled, and then asked in confusion. However, the feeling of tens of thousands of people kneeling down to worship him is really exciting!
"Hehehehe!" A strange and familiar laughter came, and the crowd on the right suddenly separated. The old eunuch who was supposed to be far away in the capital came trotting over with two followers, holding a luxurious scroll in one hand. "Chen Fengshu accepts the order!" The old eunuch dismounted and shouted in a strange tone. Someone had already prepared the incense case. Behind the incense case, the old eunuch unfolded the scroll he was holding, and it was an imperial edict: " Imperial edict: written by Shen Feng and appointed as the magistrate of Yunan County
, take office today, I hereby express my gratitude!" After the reading, Shen Fengshu still stood confused, and did not kneel down to thank him. He just stepped forward with a smile and pressed the imperial edict into Shen Fengshu's hand: "Congratulations! Xiao Shen! It seems that our family is just in time. Xiao Shen actually got married, a double happiness.
Door!" Wedding? Shen Fengshu was stunned, turned his head, and found several sedans parked next to him. One of them was jewel-like, while the others were relatively ordinary. If you look closely, you can see that the person sitting in the luxurious sedan was sitting upright. It’s the extremely shy Xiaoman. Let’s look at the other few
At the top, there are the frosty Hu Lengshuang, the charming and charming Xiaomei, the quiet Xiaobai and the impatient Xiaoqing.
In this posture, is a beautiful wife and concubine brought into the house together? Holding each other on the left and right, the blessing of the whole family?
Before Shen Fengshu could fully react, the crowd on the left moved away, and Ding Jian and Yichen led a carriage to the door with a smile.
"Brother Shen, we sold the ruined painting you mentioned, and the money from the sale is all here." Yichen said excitedly to Shen Fengshu, while speaking, he opened the huge door on the cart. The box crashed because it was too heavy. As soon as Yichen opened the box, the gold bricks piled inside fell to the ground with a crash, almost hitting Ding Jian. Just looking at the number, it was like a thousand bricks. They were golden, and they were in the torch Against the backdrop of the brilliance, it is impossible to say
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Jian said coolly: "This is just the first car, there are two more cars behind."
Then Shen Fengshu saw the second and third carriages rushing over. They had the same huge box as the first carriage. Needless to say, they must contain the same gold bricks.
Now it was Shen Fengshu's turn to be dumbfounded. He had just said that he wanted to get promoted, get rich, and marry a wife, and he was instantly satisfied. It was amazing! He turned around and looked at the woman in red with an incredible look. Shen Fengshu was excited. Walking to the old eunuch, he couldn't wait to grab the imperial edict. When he opened it, he saw that it was the one that the old eunuch had just read, and it was also covered with the treasure of the Emperor of Yan Kingdom.
A happy smile immediately appeared on Shen Fengshu's face, and he smiled at the old eunuch and said, "Don't rush back to Beijing. Let's have a wedding drink before leaving."
"That's natural!" The old eunuch patted Shen Fengshu on the shoulder with great satisfaction. Shen Fengshu felt it very real, it was like a real person patting his shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Fengshu immediately turned to several sedan chairs, and accidentally bumped into a few villagers along the way. These people were all real, and they all laughed and joked without saying anything. "Brother Shen!" Man screamed shyly, then couldn't say any more and put the hijab on her head. However, Shen Fengshu reached under the hijab a little anxiously and pinched Xiao Man's red and pretty face gently. Hands full of warmth and delicateness
It felt so good. Like a pervert, Shen Fengshu secretly pinched Hu Lengshuang, Xiaomei, Xiaobai, and Xiaoqing one by one. Then with a happy smile on his face, he walked over to Ding Jian and Yichen. Next to me, I picked up a gold brick and knocked it, listening to the moving sound
The sound made Shen Fengshu close his eyes and let out a satisfied groan.
The woman in red was watching quietly in the yard, always with a mysterious smile on her face.
"What price do I have to pay to get these?" When Shen Fengshu opened his eyes and reluctantly looked at the battle in front of him, he turned to the woman in red in the yard and asked.
"As expected, she is Xiao Shen Tanhua who is famous all over the world." The woman in red smiled and praised: "She is more sensible than those nerds. How can there be any good thing in this world that you can get everything without paying anything?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Fengshu said a little impatiently: "What do you want me to do?" "Simple!" The woman in red smiled and said: "I have fulfilled Master Shen's wish, so Master Shen must fulfill his wish. ?”
