C333 Your Luck Is Bad
Celebrities make money by fame, and the temple makes more incense money by fame. Therefore, some people who saw business opportunities would always boast about how long their ancient temple had existed, how long its history had been, and how effective it was. In fact, these were all just boasting about themselves.
However, as they approached the ancient temple, Wang Xiao felt a sense of peace. It was as if he had found a spiritual sustenance. Suddenly, he felt very calm. Wang Xiao didn't know why he felt this way. Perhaps it was because of his psychological effect.
When he walked to the front of the door, he saw a stone tablet erected three meters away from the temple's door. The stone tablet was engraved with countless densely packed words. These words appeared vigorous and forceful. They were carved in a very standard manner. One look and one could tell that they came from the hands of a famous person.
The three of them were somewhat curious, so they slowly walked towards the stone tablet. They stood under the stone tablet and looked up at the words on it. Although it was night, Wang Xiao and the other two could still see the words clearly due to the streetlights outside the temple.
Wang Xiao took a look at the content and roughly knew the content. The content was that the temple was built in the early Tang Dynasty. This had to be mentioned from the time when Tang Taizong saved the thirteen monks. At that time, the Shaolin Temple had thirteen experts who were very powerful. They saved Tang Taizong in the midst of thousands of men and horses. They also followed Tang Taizong to conquer the world and annihilated countless rebels.
Later on, the Great Tang Sect rewarded these Shaolin experts with countless gold, silver, and jewelry as well as the high level rewards. However, these people refused and left without saying goodbye. All of them returned to the Shaolin Temple, but none of them were greedy for wealth and wealth.
Tang Taizong was very touched. He ordered the temple to be repaired all over the country to encourage the development of the Shaolin Temple. This ancient temple was built at that time. When Tang Taizong built the soil and wood in the country, at the same time he established Shaolin in the country, he also listed Songshan Shaolin Temple as the leader of Shaolin in the country, the place where martial arts originated.
After reading the content, Wang Xiao only smiled. This story was indeed true, but it was unknown if this ancient temple was established at that time.
Lin Dan appeared to be somewhat happy as she said, "Look, I have already said before that this ancient temple was established by the Tang Dynasty. It is indeed true."
Wang Xiao did not say what he thought. His heart was sincere. Since he had come here with Lin Dan, he should not question these questions. Moreover, Wang Xiao had a good impression of the Shaolin Temple. For example, Master Jing Kong. If it wasn't for Master Jing Kong, Wang Xiao and the others might have died a long time ago.
"Let's go in and take a look." Lin Dan walked towards the ancient temple excitedly while Wang Xiao and the others followed behind her. After entering the temple, it was a courtyard. There were rooms in all four directions. In the middle was a courtyard.
There was a pond in the courtyard, and inside the pond was a large turtle carved out of stone. A monk was in the middle of the night, and no one knew what he was fishing for in the pond. On a stone wall outside the pond, three big words were written: 'Wishing Pond.'
As the name suggested, this was where the wish was made. A few youths were standing outside the pond, holding coins and throwing them into the water. In front of the courtyard was the main hall, where the Buddha statues were provided, and the other three rooms were the small shops.
Lin Dan and Wang Xiao walked around and saw that some of the side rooms were selling jade artifacts and other things. These jade artifacts were not very expensive. They were about a few dozen to a few hundred yuan, and the cheapest ones were at least a few dozen yuan.
However, the jades sold here were all used to deceive some consumers. Wang Xiao shook his head helplessly. Damn, who knows if they really opened up. Perhaps these people would bring the cheap goods back from the stalls and say "opened up.
None of these were important. The most important thing was that there were two or three yuan worth of things on the stalls outside. It was actually twenty or thirty yuan here. It was really dark.
Of course, Wang Xiao and Lin Dan didn't care about these cheap goods. Therefore, they only took a casual glance before leaving quickly and walking towards the main hall. When they passed by the pond, Wang Xiao looked curiously at the pond and saw that the monk was making money.
A stone in the pond said, 'No throwing of wood stones.' The meaning was obvious. He was just throwing money. He couldn't throw anything else. It turned out that many people thought that if the coin was thrown in the pond and hit the turtle in the pond, then the wish they had made would be fulfilled. Therefore, everyone threw the coins in the pond one after another.
After a long time, there would be countless coins piled up in the spacious pond. The coin that the monk who was fishing for the coin was actually stored in a basket.
Wang Xiao thought to himself. It was really a treasure pot. No wonder so many people wanted to be monks now. After entering the main hall, he saw the entire main hall. At this moment, there were only a few people in the main hall.
In the center of the hall, there was a stone statue. It was the statue of Bodhisattva Puxian. Bodhisattva Puxian's Buddha statue was more than three meters tall, as if it was coated with a layer of gold. It looked extremely dazzling.
Beside Bodhisattva Puxian, there were a few Buddha statues. However, Wang Xiao could not tell who the rest of the Buddha statues were.
Although the golden Buddha statues were dazzling, they were less solemn. In the entire hall, apart from these Buddha statues, there were also some counters and a Merit Box. There were incense offerings on the counters, and the Merit Box was the place to store money.
Wang Xiao and the other two walked behind the counters and looked at the incense inside. These incense were all authentic and honest. However, after taking a look at all the incense, Wang Xiao felt somewhat speechless.
He saw that some incense sticks were very expensive. For example, the incense sticks that sought refuge from disasters actually cost more than 300 minutes. F * ck, a stick of incense was actually as thick as a thumb. It was indeed very expensive incense sticks. The thickness was different.
There was also a stick of incense that required money. It cost 888 yuan per stick of incense. Damn it, even a stick of incense was as big as a bowl. As expected of the incense from the Road of Wealth, it cost 888 yuan per joss stick. Not only did the price sound very smooth, it was also very auspicious.
Wang Xiao sighed a little. This kind of quiet land of Buddhism had now become a tool to amass wealth. The world had changed. Therefore, everything had changed along with it. Lin Dan could not help but frown. She could see that Lin Dan was also unhappy in her heart.
Because according to those expensive incense sticks, it seemed that burning these ordinary incense sticks would not work. Lin Dan casually took a handful of ordinary incense sticks and threw a hundred yuan into the Merit Box.
Wang Xiao saw the monk who was reciting scriptures. When Lin Dan put the money into the Merit Box, one of his eyes opened and the other closed. He quietly looked at Lin Dan. It seemed like he wanted to check if Lin Dan would put the money in.
It was really funny that the monk was not in the mood to recite the scriptures. However, he was forced to do so by life, so Wang Xiao did not care. Moreover, the quality of many people in the country still needed to be improved. For example, on those buses where the drivers were not paying attention, some passengers would always tear the yuan in half to serve as two yuan when the drivers were not paying attention.
This could be considered as having a conscience. There were even quite a number of people who threw in fake money. Fake money was nothing. Some people even used underworld money. After those drivers got off work, when the company's person-in-charge counted the money, he was both angry and amused.2
In fact, this ordinary incense was only worth a few yuan at most. But Lin Dan did not care about this bit of money, so she directly put in a hundred yuan. After taking these incense sticks, Lin Dan gave one incense stick to Wang Xiao.
"Thank you." Wang Xiao thanked her and took the incense. Although he did not believe in the legends of ghosts and gods, he was sincere. Since he was here, he could burn incense and pray to Buddha. He could also feel at ease.
Lin Dan gave a stick of incense to Little Chun. Little Chun smiled. Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "President Lin, I don't believe in these. I just believe in myself."
Lin Dan did not say anything and just took the incense back. After lighting the incense, Lin Dan knelt on the ground in Red city and closed her eyes to make a wish. After seeing Lin Dan's actions, Wang Xiao also did the same as Lin Dan, kneeling on the ground to make a wish.
After the two of them opened their eyes, Lin Dan looked at Wang Xiao and smiled, then started to add incense. Wang Xiao also started to add incense. He was a little curious about what Lin Dan's wish was, and whether she wanted to be with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao was a little excited. He just hoped that he did not think too much of it.
"Let's go." Lin Dan turned around and walked outside. Her wish had been fulfilled, so she did not want to stay here any longer.
The monk suddenly stood up and pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Female benefactor, I can see your face. Your hall is dark and gloomy. Black Qi is lingering in the Divine Court. I'm afraid that there will be danger tonight. Why don't I give you a divination and calculate your fate?"
Lin Dan looked at the other party in surprise. Because she was somewhat worried about what this monk said. Perhaps it was because Lin Dan had encountered many assassins in the past few days, so after hearing what the monk said, she felt a little uneasy.
She turned around and looked at Wang Xiao. Lin Dan looked at Wang Xiao as if she wanted to ask Wang Xiao to make a decision for her. Although Little Chun was now her bodyguard, Wang Xiao was the guardian of her heart.
Wang Xiao shook his head casually, indicating that he did not need to worry. This monk saw Lin Dan's beauty and temperament. Little Chun was just a follower. And he was a man. So this monk knew that only if Lin Dan was in trouble would he be willing to pay.
He looked at the other party. Wang Xiao said, "Monk, I see that your face is yellow and your eyes are lifeless. You haven't been very lucky recently, so you have to be careful."
"Amitabha!"
The monk just kept saying 'Amitabha' with his palms pressed together.
Lin Dan glared at Wang Xiao and quickly walked out of the hall. Wang Xiao didn't know why she was angry, so he and Xiao Chun followed her out of the hall. After they walked out of the main hall, Lin Dan said to Wang Xiao angrily, "Even if you don't believe him, you don't have to hurt him like this."
"I didn't hurt him. I know how to read fortunes." Wang Xiao smiled.
"Tch!"
Lin Dan did not believe Wang Xiao's words. After she looked down on him, she slowly walked out of the temple.
When she walked outside the temple, she saw that the surroundings were pitch black. The shadows of trees gave people a depressing feeling under the night sky's streetlights. Wang Xiao thought about the monk's words. Perhaps the monk wasn't lying, but was telling the truth.
Could it be that Lin Dan was really in danger tonight? Wang Xiao decided to be careful. Although he did not believe the monk's words, it was better to be careful. However, thinking about the fact that he and Little Chun were by Lin Dan's side, Wang Xiao felt a lot more at ease.
With the protection of two Profoundness Rank Master-hand warriors, Lin Dan would definitely be fine. Furthermore, after so many trials and tribulations, not only would Lin Dan be fine, but she would also be able to develop the company better and better. Therefore, it would not be easy for those people to deal with Lin Dan.
