611. Chapter 611 Here comes the blessing
Chapter 611 Good luck is coming
After the two had breakfast at Weilong House, Jian Jichen said that the third brother and several business cousins had an appointment to go to Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen. It is a Chinese custom to pick up the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so the Jian family cousins went together to pick up the God of Wealth!
Everyone, pack your things and get ready to leave!
As a junior, Jian Jichen not only has to give red envelopes to the juniors, but also shows filial piety to the elders.
Grandpa is the eldest member of the Jian family, and all the younger ones will express their gratitude.
Although my great-grandfather has a large family of children and grandchildren, he still loves his hometown when he gets old. When he was 80 years old, he returned to Weilongwu, and the younger generations who stayed in the village took care of his food and daily life.
Jian Jichen gave Grandpa 30,000 yuan.
He has no uncles to show filial piety to. The closest elder alive today is a cousin of his grandfather. He also kissed me when he was a child. He is over 70 years old this year. Jian Jichen left 10,000 yuan.
piece!
After bidding farewell to my great-grandfather, a group of more than a dozen people and three domineering jeeps left Longyan for Xiamen.
It only takes three hours to drive to Nanputuo Temple!
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Nanputuo Mountain Gate is majestic and full of people.
As a famous temple in southern Fujian and the main temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is popular with incense and is even more crowded during festivals. The most popular ones are various Buddhist activities.
Some of the people traveling with us are locals from Xiamen, and the hotel where the group will stay has been arranged. Nanputuo Temple’s vegetarian meal is even more famous in the world!
After the fast meal on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Jian Jichen asked Xia Ningmeng and little K to take a nap while he and his cousins went out.
Xia Ningmeng hugged her son and took a nap. Jian Jichen did not come back, so she took her son around.
This thousand-year-old temple is built on the Wulao Peak, with undulating heights and well-proportioned structures.
There is a release pond at the door, in which there are fish, turtles and other things released by pilgrims. Little K played by the release pond for a while.
Xia Ningmeng walked into the main hall with little K in her arms. There were many pigeons in front of the door. Many people gathered around to feed the pigeons. There was a woman selling corn kernels nearby. Xia Ningmeng bought a bag.
Little K grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. Xia Ningmeng took it out with great effort and told him that this was for pigeons.
Little K didn't know whether he understood or not. He was not allowed to eat corn kernels. He waddled among the pigeons and disturbed a group of peaceful pigeons.
However, the pigeons here are not afraid of the approach of humans. After being disturbed by little K, they fluttered their wings and flew onto little K's shoulder! Xia Ningmeng quickly took out her mobile phone to take pictures.
Little K was too young after all, and the pigeons pounced on him, scaring him to tears.
Xia Ningmeng coaxed her while taking photos: "Are you scared this time?"
The two of them were feeding pigeons in front of the main hall when Jian Jichen called.
After a while he also arrived in front of the main hall.
Because tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there are a lot of Buddhist activities, and the large and small halls are packed one after another.
Jian Jichen asked Xia Ningmeng if she wanted to visit.
Of course Xia Ningmeng wants to go and see it. It’s a blessing to have the Buddha’s energy, blessings, and wealth...
Jian Jichen hugged little K, nodded her little nose and said, "Are you just taking advantage of your luck?"
"It's okay to pick up blessings. The kind and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely not mind if we pick up some blessings and go back."
When we arrived in front of the Main Hall, the entire hall was full of onlookers. Hundreds of monks inside the hall were chanting sutras and knocking on wooden fish.
There were only about twenty people kneeling in front of the Buddha statue in the hall. Xia Ningmeng was at a low altitude and couldn't understand what was going on inside. She only knew that anyone who could kneel in the hall while more than a hundred monks chanted sutras and prayed must be rich and powerful and had donated a lot.
Incense and money.
