When Fang Shengyu heard Li Xiuyuan scolding him in a roundabout way, he immediately said angrily: "Don't make excuses. If the incense cannot be lit by you, if it is not your fault, then there is something wrong with the incense. Then I can't light it. You
It should be impossible to light it. Do you dare to try? Give the Bodhisattva in front of you a stick of incense. If you can’t light it, then what you just said is slander. I want you to give it in public.
My wife apologizes."
He tried again and again, but there was indeed something wrong with the Buddhist incense and it couldn't be lit.
My own wife can’t light it either.
It's impossible for both people to have problems. There must be something wrong with the Buddhist incense.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I have said before that I will not worship Buddha or God in this life, but you are making things difficult for me."
"Then you just don't dare? It turns out that your lies are also afraid of being exposed." Fang Shengyu said with a bit of sneer: "Looking at your sharp teeth and sharp mouth, what you said makes sense, but I didn't expect that you are also a person behind the scenes.
Villain."
"That's right, there is something wrong with this Buddhist incense, how can you blame us? Don't be deceived by this person." Fang next to him also chimed in.
But everyone nearby looked at Li Xiuyuan again.
After all, what Fang Shengyu said was not wrong. If there was something wrong with the Buddhist incense, it would not be a manifestation of the Bodhisattva, it would just be a farce, and his words would not be convincing.
Li Xiuyuan saw their aggressive posture and couldn't help but laugh: "What I just said was not a refusal, it was just a bit embarrassing. Since you have said so, Mr. Fang, then if I don't prove it to myself, wouldn't I be beating myself up?"
A slap in the face? Where is the Buddhist incense? Could you please Master Fang to hand it over?"
When Fang Shengyu saw Li Xiuyuan's promise, he immediately snorted and handed over the three Buddhist incense sticks in his hand that could not be lit no matter how hard they were lit.
Li Xiuyuan took it and said: "Three is too many, I think one is enough."
He only took one and placed the remaining two on the altar table nearby.
At this time, Fang Shengyu, his wife Fang Shi, Zhu Yu, Zhang Bangchang, Qian Jun and others all looked at the Buddhist incense in Li Xiuyuan's hand.
Is this a farce, or did his words really come true, with even the Bodhisattva rejecting Fang's offering?
Li Xiuyuan was not worried at all. He had no ghosts in his heart and no evil thoughts. How could he be worried that the Buddhist incense would not burn?
Immediately, he held the Buddhist incense and smiled, walked to the altar table, bent down, put the Buddhist incense on the oil lamp and lit it.
The Buddhist incense that Fang and Fang Shengyu couldn't light before fell into his hands now, but as soon as it was placed on the oil lamp, white smoke and incense started to appear smoothly.
"It's on, it's on fire, look, it's really on fire." A pilgrim shouted hurriedly.
Everyone else was also stunned.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with the incense. The previous failure to light it may have been the Bodhisattva's intention. The Bodhisattva heard the young man's reasoning and refused the female pilgrim's offering.
"Why did it light up again?" Ms. Fang was a little dumbfounded.
She clearly put it on the oil lamp like this just now, so why couldn't it light it, but when she put it in this person's hand, it lit just a little bit?
Fang Shengyu was also stunned. He had no way to explain such a situation, unless it was true that as this person said, even the Bodhisattva would not accept his offering.
But he didn't dare to say it like this,
Doesn't this prove that your evil deeds have been known to the Bodhisattva?
Li Xiuyuan shook the Buddhist incense in his hand, extinguished the flames on it, and then said: "Since the Buddhist incense has been lit, it cannot be wasted. Today I will borrow the incense to offer to the Buddha and offer a stick of incense to Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Bar."
He walked forward, held the incense in both hands, bent down and placed the incense on the incense burner in front of him.
However, at this moment an incredible scene occurred.
The golden body of Manjushri Bodhisattva that was originally sitting on the white elephant actually moved at this time. The lower body of the Buddha statue did not move, but the upper body of Manjushri Bodhisattva came to life. The Bodhisattva saw his hands clasped together when Li Xiuyuan bent down to offer incense.
He also bent down and bowed his head, giving a salute.
Li Xiuyuan offered incense and bent down to salute.
The Bodhisattva also put his hands together and bowed his head in return.
The two actually bowed to each other.
Seeing such a scene, all the pilgrims were instantly dumbfounded. Some of them shrank their eyes, full of horror.
Some people moved their lips slightly and kept chanting Amitabha's name.
Some people were trembling all over, and they couldn't tell whether they were excited or scared.
"The Bodhisattva has appeared." The scholar who asked Li Xiuyuan a question before pointed to the golden body of the Bodhisattva in front of him and stammered.
However, I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak.
Li Xiuyuan did not see this scene.
When he bent down to offer incense, the Bodhisattva appeared and paid his respects.
When Li Xiuyuan finished burning the incense and stood up, the Buddhist incense also put down its arms, raised its head, became still, and turned into a clay sculpture again.
So when he raised his head, he didn't see anything.
"Huh? What are your eyes like? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? This important place of Buddhism should not be haunted, right?" Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but be confused when he saw Zhang Bangchang and Qian Jun's shocked eyes.
Zhang Bangchang is someone who has had contact with ghosts and gods. He was more shocked than the Bodhisattva's appearance, but it was Li Xiuyuan in front of him, because a thought came to his mind: Is his worship so difficult that even the Bodhisattva can't bear it?
Want to reciprocate the gift?
There are many ways for Bodhisattvas to manifest themselves, and it’s not like he has never heard of them before.
But this is the first time I have heard of a Bodhisattva worshiping a mortal in such a posture.
And Li Xiuyuan didn't seem to know what happened just now.
Such a scene was not only seen by many nearby pilgrims, but also by an old monk in the palace.
"Amitabha, good, good, good."
The old monk hurriedly recited the Buddha's name and then came forward to greet him.
However, after a short period of silence, what followed was the fanaticism of believers.
"The Bodhisattva really showed up."
For a time, a large number of pilgrims rushed to kneel down in front of the Bodhisattva, kowtow, offer incense, and pray.
Many people don't understand what's going on, but they just think this Bodhisattva is particularly efficacious, and they all come to pay homage.
Only Fang Shengyu and the Fang family were pale and trembling with fear at this moment. They did not dare to kneel down in front of the Bodhisattva who usually worshiped every night.
The previous events have proved that the bad deeds of the two of them cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Bodhisattva. It is true that the Bodhisattva does not accept his incense.
In the past, chanting sutras could still make one's heart feel at peace, but now Fang Shengyu and his wife feel like there are thorns in their backs.
Is it so difficult that after death I really have to go to the underworld to suffer?
As the young master said, Bodhisattvas will not protect people like themselves.
At this thought, the two of them were at a loss. It was like something collapsed at this moment, and they didn't know what to do.
"What happened just now? Did the Bodhisattva really appear?" Li Xiuyuan asked Zhu Yu next to him in a daze at this time.
Zhu Yu nodded subconsciously: "It is indeed a spiritual manifestation. Brother Li, how could it be that you didn't see it just now?"
"I was burning incense just now. Where did I see it?" Li Xiuyuan shook his head.
