Chapter 216 Good God (4)
With a 'creak' sound, the small door was pushed open halfway. The little Taoist boy who had just read the decree of the God of Good came out from inside. Although he was shorter than most people, his expression was extremely arrogant. He glanced at the crowd with his eyes looking down at the sentient beings, and then slowly said, "Those who stand within ten steps outside the door will cancel the blessing."
In an instant, the crowd was in a stir again, and everyone began to retreat. Some of them were moving quickly and ran for more than ten steps in a blink of an eye. When they turned around and looked back, they found that the crowd had stopped behind them. Only then did they realize that they had run too much, so they hurried back.
A few minutes later, the crowd calmed down again. Qian Chuanzi and I had already taken advantage of the chaos just now to stand behind the crowd. It would be a bit too conspicuous if we were still standing outside the crowd.
Seeing so many people obediently obediently, the little Taoist boy was very proud and his majestic expression calmed down a little. He first took two steps forward, and then two Taoist boys walked out of the door. Since there were many people standing in front, Qian Chuanzi and I could only barely see the two Taoist boys working together to carry a large basket, but we couldn't see clearly what the basket was in.
After seeing the basket, there was another slight commotion in the crowd in front of them. Many people were eager to try and squeeze forward, but they were stared at the majestic look of the Taoist boy so that they dared not move. I think the things in this basket should be the so-called blessing.
Driven by curiosity, Qian Chuanzi and I moved quietly to the side. Because we were standing at the end of the crowd, there was no one around us, so we moved to one side of the crowd smoothly. Finally, we saw clearly what was in the basket. There were many bamboo sticks piled up, each one was about as long as a chopstick, and it was cut into the shape of a sword. The word "Fu" was engraved on both sides of the sword.
"Damn, you're right, this is a blessing, it's a playful person." I cursed in my heart, "Boss, is this a blessing?" Qian Chuanzi asked in a low voice, obviously he was very disappointed.
"Line up and come and get it. Each person has a lucky sign, and there is no need to get it." The Taoist boy shouted loudly. The crowd immediately began to move, crowded together into a long line, and slowly walked towards the basket.
I hesitated for a while, and finally stood at the end of the team with Qian Chuanzi curiously. Because I didn’t have to go through any procedures, I just took a lucky sign and left. So although there were many people in front of me, I didn’t waste much time. Not long after, Qian Chuanzi and I each received a lucky sign. At this time, there were still a lot of them left in the basket. However, seeing that there was no one behind, the two little Taoist boys in charge of the distribution immediately carried the basket and left. Then the little Taoist boy who came out first also walked into the door with them. With a "bang", the small door closed again.
After receiving the blessing, the crowd completely dispersed, but no one walked away. Most of the people gathered together with people they knew each other and chatted in groups. Only Qian Chuanzi and I stood there ignorantly. First, we took a look at the lucky sign in our hand, but we didn’t see any abnormalities. No matter how we looked, they were just ordinary bamboo sticks. Except for the word “Fu” on it, there was no difference between the tags used in other places and the sticks used in grilled lamb skewers.
So we had to turn our attention to the people chatting around us, listened to the content of their conversation with our ears, hoping to find the answer.
"Brother Zhao San, how many lifetimes have you been atonement?" "Master Zhang said that I have redeemed the sins of the sixth generation. As long as I redeem three more generations, I will be able to achieve the merits and enter the immortal world after death. What about you?" "Oh! Don't mention it, Master Xu said that I have only redeemed the sins of the four generations, and I will have to redeem the fifth generation."
"Brother, don't worry, as long as we are sincere, we will definitely be able to redeem the sins of our previous lives." "Brother Zhao San, I am different from you. Your family has a sale and real estate passed down from ancestors. My family only has a few acres of land. The savings on hand have long been used up. If you want to atone for your sins, you have to sell your house and land."
"Brother, don't worry, as long as I can redeem my sins and enter the immortal world, what's this thing outside of it?" "Brother Zhao San, I think so too, but my hands are too tight. So, if you have enough money, can you lend me some first?" "Ah------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After listening to the conversation between these two people, Qian Chuanzi and I smiled at each other. This friendship was really nothing to say. We ran away immediately when we heard that we had to borrow money. However, from the conversation between these two people, we also heard a little. It seemed that this good god was asking the people to spend money to atone for their sins, and they also had to atone for their sins for nine lifetimes. Without thinking, we knew that the money was definitely a lot. Just by looking at this one, we could understand that this must be a cult or a fraud gang.
After figuring out the true face of the Good God, the next thing I have to consider is what to do. I glanced around and saw excited faces. Regardless of men, women, young and old, I talked about the merits of the Good God and the longing for the fairy world. I believe that if I shouted now, "The Good God is a liar", the next thing I had to face would definitely be countless angry fists.
There is really no need to do such thankless things. The only thing I can do is to pull Qian Chuanzi away. With Qian Chuanzi's intelligence, of course I also understood what the good god is like, so I didn't have to say anything at all. I just gently pulled his arm and Qian Chuanzi understood what I mean.
But before we could turn around, the small door on the wall suddenly opened. Two small children walked out of the inside with an oversized basket. However, before they could cross the threshold, the quiet crowd, which had just become "stopped" and was all in a mess. They immediately began to gather towards the small door quickly. They ran to the door a few steps faster, and they were so slow that they were not willing to fall behind. They pushed and shoved the people in front, hoping to squeeze through the crowd.
The Taoist boy was obviously prepared for this kind of scene, so he was not panicked at all. After seeing the crowd rushing over, he stopped immediately and stared at the crowd squeezing over. The people here were obviously very awe of the Taoist priests in Shanshen Pavilion. Although they were crowded, the person standing in front did not dare to walk forward after reaching the door. Instead, he leaned his whole body backwards, forming a wall of people, protecting the two little Taoist boys.
"Retreat ten steps away!" The older Taoist boy on the left shouted loudly, but no one stepped back. However, his words still had some effect at least. At least no one dared to squeeze harder, and everyone stood there in a daze.
Seeing that no one listened to what he said, the little Taoist boy was very angry and shouted loudly again, "If you don't retreat, we will go back with the blessings of tonight." After that, the two Taoist boys stared at the crowd with even more vicious eyes.
The person who was squeezed in the front was glared by the Taoist boy and began to lean back with force. Although the person behind was reluctant, he did not dare to squeeze forward any further. He could only retreat with the force in front, and then a large group of people slowly retreated for more than ten steps.
At this time, the two little Taoist boys calmly carried the basket out of the small door. Only then did I see clearly that there were more than two Taoist boys coming out, and there were six behind them. There were a total of eight Taoist boys carrying four baskets. The baskets were filled with fist-sized buns. Four baskets were placed on the ground. Then the older little Taoist boy shouted again, "Everyone lined up for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowds of people standing in a fan shape began to mess up again, shouting, crying, and screaming sounded. After several minutes of chaos, they barely stood in a long and winding line.
"In groups of four people, come here to receive the blessings of the God of Good." The little Taoist boy shouted again, and then the four people standing in front of the team immediately walked forward a few steps, each knelt down in front of a basket. First, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" kowtowed three times, then raised the blessing sign he had just received above his head, and shouted loudly, "The ancestor of the God of Good will be prosperous and prosperous, save all sentient beings, and have a great reputation."
I was stunned when I saw this scene. These words were really funny, but the four people looked extremely solemn, as if they were shouting out the most solemn oath in their lives, and they shouted very neatly, just like they were shouting out from a person's mouth. Obviously, they had done this kind of thing many times before, and they were so skillful that they could no longer be proficient.
After shouting, the four of them stood up, nodded and walked forward two steps, and handed the lucky sign in their hands to the Taoist boy in front of them. Then the Taoist boy grabbed two buns and handed them to them. The four of them happily ran aside with the buns.
Then four more people walked up and began to repeat the same procedure. Only then did I realize that the fortune I just received was for the buns to eat.
"Boss, the buns seem to be made of meat." Qian Chuanzi swallowed, staring at a person eating buns not far away and whispered. I glared at him, "If you want to eat, go over and kowtow yourself, I won't go anyway." "What are you saying? A man has gold under his knees, and he has to kowtow three times when he eats a bun. If he eats a Manchu and Han banquet, he will not knock himself to death." Qian Chuanzi said righteously, but when he said this, he was still swallowing saliva in his mouth, destroying all the positive energy.
"Let's go," I said to Qian Chuanzi, "Where are you going?" Qian Chuanzi replied casually, but his eyes were still staring at the meat buns in someone else's hands.
