Chapter 47 Water Temple

There are many famous temples around West Lake, such as Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple, Fajing Temple, etc.

However, Qiantang County is close to rivers, and many people are born on water, so there are not many temples. The most popular incense is Qiantang County Water Temple! And I heard that the Water Temple was particularly spiritual after making a wish and was easy to achieve, so countless people came.

After Xu Xian and Xu Jiaorong and his brother worshipped their ancestors outside the city, they came to the Water God Temple.

Even though Xu Xian already believes that there are gods in this world, he does not agree with it. If the wishes made after burning incense are effective, it is also a cycle of cause and effect. How can the law change because you burn two more incense sticks?

The so-called Water Temple is mostly just a self-deception in everyone's heart. But he couldn't tell his sister Xu Jiaorong that Xu Jiaorong was willing to burn incense, so he would go with him.

The Water Temple is not big, but you can see people coming and going from afar. When you walk into the temple, the incense is boiling, smoke is lingering, and a smell of incense comes to your nose.

I saw that a mouthful of three large cauldrons were filled with high incense. Although people would clean the ground every day, in less than half a day, a thick layer of incense ash on the ground had accumulated, which showed the popularity of the incense.

Behind the cauldron is a huge water god Dharma image.

The water god was naked, with red silk on his back, holding a long halberd in his hand, and stepping on waves under his feet. The statue was full of dynamic feeling, as if he was walking on the waves.

"Um?"

Xu Xian, who was originally just looking at the random attitude, changed his expression slightly after entering the Water God Temple and felt abnormal.

"These incense is the most common, not even a piece of red sandalwood, so it is impossible to have any special effects. But why did you feel much clearer when you enter the temple?" Xu Xian opened his eyes wide and was curious.

He has been practicing Taoism for quite some time, and he feels that he is many times more sensitive than ordinary people, so he will naturally not feel wrong. This temple does have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.

Of course, this effect is much worse than Xin Shisi Niang's piano sound.

But stepping into this temple will have a different feeling from the world outside. If you keep here and spend a long time, it will definitely be of some help to practice.

Xu Xian looked at the clay statue of the Water God, and was even more shocked. He let the Buddha statue come alive, and his originally solemn expression suddenly smiled!

However, when Xu Xian looked at it intently, everything returned to normal. He just released the Buddha and had hallucinations.

"Is there really a water god in this small temple?" Xu Xian thought to himself in surprise.

When Xu Xian used his magic power to sense the temple carefully, he shook his head again.

"No, it's not that there is a water god in the temple, but that the temple is offered by countless people with incense every year and worshipped devoutly, forming a 'incense vow' similar to the 'honored and righteous spirit'."

Xu Xian had an enlightenment in his heart.

The cultivation of incense vows is much faster than that of Haoran’s righteousness. The Confucian righteousness depends on one’s own accumulation bit by bit. As long as the incense vows have enough accumulation of incense and faith, you can even become a god directly!

However, the flaw of incense practice is that if you accept the incense and beliefs of others, you have to help others often and respond to their requests. If you no longer help others, people no longer believe in them and cut off the incense, you will be knocked down from the altar.

"Maybe in many years, a god will be enshrined in this water god temple in the future!"

Xu Xian thought in his heart.

According to legend, an oil lamp wick in front of the Buddhist bead sits for thousands of years will be borne by the baptism of Buddhism, and will have wisdom and magic power. As for flowers, plants, birds and beasts, countless people will transform.

It is normal for a temple to have a prosperous incense and there are gods for years.

There is a place specializing in selling high incense at the entrance of the temple, but it is not the temple prayer of the temple, but just a messenger.

"Sister, are there no temple blessings in the Water God Temple?" Xu Xian asked curiously.

The incense in the temple is so prosperous. Although the water god is worshipped, the temple blessing will definitely benefit a lot. I am afraid it will not be an ordinary person. Xu Xian wants to meet him.

Xu Jiaorong paid the money to get Gaoxiang and whispered: "Of course there are temple blessings. I just heard that this temple blessing is a strange person, and he does everything in a straightforward manner. He likes to travel around the mountains and rivers. When the dragon sees its head but not its tail, it is difficult to see him in the temple."

Xu Xian glared.

Can this be done?

Shouldn’t all the temple blessings be divided into one’s own works in the temple? The dragon still saw its head but not its tail. It was really a ‘strange man’.

Soon, Xu Jiaorong paid the incense fee, burned the incense and made a wish, and asked for two more peace talismans after consecration. One was given to Xu Xian, and the other was asked to Li Gongfu.

Xu Xian took the peace talisman and found that this talisman was really not something that the talisman used to coax people, but it actually had a little effect of warding off evil spirits!

It may not be realistic if you want to use it to suppress demons or practice evil spirits, but it is enough to deal with the most ordinary lonely ghosts.

With this peace talisman, it is impossible for a weak ghost to approach. He will comfort him a lot at night and will not have nightmares.

"Sister, you can take this peace talisman with you. It's useless for me to hold it." Xu Xian said.

With his current cultivation level, this Ping An Talisman is not as good as his one-spoke character. If he can't solve the problem, the Ping An Talisman is even more unlikely to be useful and cannot be useful at all.

Moreover, after he cultivates the "yin god", he can draw talismans by himself. At that time, he can make a talisman at will, and the effect of warding off evil spirits is much better than this peace talisman.

Xu Jiaorong didn't understand these things, so he glared at Xu Xian, hung the peace talisman on Xu Xian's neck without saying a word, and said, "I know you don't believe in these things, but you would rather believe in everything than not. This peace talisman will not cause any trouble when you carry it on you, but if you really encounter something unclear..."

Speaking of this, Xu Jiaorong quickly stopped and felt it was unlucky, so he quickly "snatched".

After pausing for a while, he warned seriously: "Anyway, you have to carry this peace talisman with me and you can't take it off at will, otherwise I want you to look good!"

Xu Xian didn't dare to pick it anymore.

The peace talisman seemed to him, but his sister's intentions could not be ignored.

...

...

In the next few days, Xu Xian focused on practicing calligraphy.

First of all, the way of calligraphy requires practice diligently on weekdays and cannot relax. Otherwise, let alone go further, your original state may be reversed!

Calligraphy is the same as practicing Taoism. The first realm is to "enter the Tao", but the second realm is to "storm and storm"!

The so-called "brushing and storm" refers to the second realm of the way of calligraphy.

Secondly, Xu Xian prepared the best rice paper and prepared to write a satisfactory copy of words and take it to the calligraphy and painting shop for consignment.

What do scholars rely on if they want to make money?

Of course it is the pen in your hand.

With Xu Xian’s reputation now, if he writes another good pair of words, the content of the words is another good poem, which is absolutely valuable!
