Chapter 622
Chapter 622
The New Year is approaching, and every household in Dishui Town is decorated with lights, and there is a joyful atmosphere.
Although the town has begun to take on the scale of urbanization, it still retains the original local feelings.
The red silk dances between the buildings, and the colorful flags flutter.
Every house has a door god in front of the door, and red lanterns are hung high.
This new concrete forest has been filled with many bright and festive colors.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year's Eve will be celebrated in two days, the townspeople have begun to buy New Year's goods.
For example, melon seeds, peanut candies and various pastries and snacks are the main force of New Year's goods, and children are the most likely to be greedy, and they are invisible consumers.
Other New Year's goods such as wine, chicken, duck and fish, Jiuzhuan large intestine with original flavor, and air-dried sausage are all indispensable on the table.
However, to everyone's surprise.
The best New Year's goods sold are neither melon seeds and peanut candies, nor spring couplets and lanterns and nine-turn large intestines.
Rather, they were sacrificial incense, paper money, tribute, and candlesticks, oil lamps.
As long as every family has leisure, they must first go to the dripping water to worship and pray for good luck in the year.
This period is also the busiest day for the dripping audience.
People rushed up the hill as if they were hurrying up, and pilgrims were in an endless stream, filling their hearts and minds with each other, shoulder to shoulder.
A small mountain road, more than 5,000 stone steps, eager to squeeze tens of thousands of people.
Fortunately, most of the old pilgrims came with a pilgrimage mood and lined up patiently.
The children are also very well-behaved, but they just look back and forth with their eyes wide open, and there are not many who make a lot of noise.
There are some complaints from tourists, but most of the people who can embark on the path of inquiry are good people.
Occasionally, there will be some skirmishes, you step on my foot, I hit your waist, and it is nothing at this point in time when the Chinese New Year is about to happen.
Say sorry to each other, say hello, say hello, and celebrate the New Year, and everyone will have a peaceful New Year with the kind.
The most comfortable thing is that the cold wind doesn't seem to blow the way to the heart, and even the temperature is the most suitable.
People don't sweat when they squeeze people, it seems that a coolness rises from the soles of their feet, and the fatigue of the whole body will disappear.
It's like other Taoist temples that I have been to when I travel, climbing a mountain will tire you to death.
I finally arrived at the mountain gate of the dripping water view.
Next to the mountain gate is a lifelike statue of the mountain monarch, which is exactly the same as the big tiger, and even the king character in the center of its eyebrows is pale gold.
The herb pickers, who had been blessed and protected by the Great Tiger, offered tribute, and soon a hill was piled up there.
The door opened, and the image of the two gods, the green dragon and the white tiger, who were not angry and murderous, seemed to have changed a little.
The corners of their eyes and mouth were bent a little, and they had a happy smile, and the children were not afraid when they saw it, and they praised them for their might and greatness with a smile.
After listening to it a lot, the two gods in the door smiled even more, and even their eyes narrowed, and those who didn't know thought that Maitreya Buddha had turned to the Taoist gate in a military uniform.
Walking into the mountain gate, a refreshing breeze blows on your face, which seems to wash away the dust on your body.
The air is refreshing, indescribably fresh, as if you are in a fairyland.
A smiling girl held a straight and small bottle of mutton fat jade purification, which contained dew.
The girl smiled beautifully, her eyes were like those of a cat, and she sprinkled a little dew on the pilgrim with a green leaf.
The pilgrims looked at her with curiosity and questioning, but she only nodded and smiled, and said nothing.
Seeing this, the pilgrims could only walk towards the front hall, but for some reason, they always felt that their bodies had become much lighter.
The worries and worries of daily life have been swept away.
The thoughts of anxiety and internal friction are all gone, as if the burden has been unloaded and the burden is light.
Walking into the main hall, I saw a little fat man with a smile on his face and wearing a sky blue robe.
Round and white, with two layers of chin, it looks rich and joyful, not only is it not greasy, but it has a refreshing youthful spirit.
Bundles of incense and candles were placed beside the little fat man, smiling and guiding pilgrims to take them.
The old pilgrims smiled and nodded, and gladly accepted it.
The travelers who came here were quite surprised, and their hearts suddenly burst with a favorable impression of this small Taoist temple.
There is no admission fee, you don't have to prepare your own incense, and you don't even need incense money, the most important thing is that I heard that it is still very effective.
Walking out of the front hall, the little girl with her three or two little friends played, each holding candy in their hands, blushing and smiling very happily.
It's been a few days off vacation, and the little milk baby hasn't bragged to her little friends for several days.
No, she was telling her friends the story of her master's flight to the sky and the earth, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and a few little guys were stunned for a while, with a look of worship in their eyes.
When the adults saw this, they all smiled.
I just thought that the children were telling myths and stories, and they didn't take it to heart.
Only those old people who have experienced some things know that the little milk baby is not only not bragging, but still talking about it small.
Everyone walked into the main hall with incense and candles, and a fairy Kun Dao came to them.
The extraordinary temperament attracts everyone's attention at a glance.
No makeup is required, just no makeup is enough to make a hundred flowers shine.
The big and round apricot eyes seem to be forever smiling, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Under her guidance, the pilgrims entered the main hall in an orderly manner to offer incense.
The main hall is not large, and it can accommodate more than ten people at one time.
But this small square inch of land seems to contain a mysterious taste, which makes people feel awe.
A faint blue-purple smoke swirled around the hall, slowly rising and hovering over the ceiling.
Sometimes it turns into a dragon, sometimes it turns into a tiger, and there are thousands of images.
Guan Zhu Dao Xuan sat quietly in his usual position, and his handsome face seemed to be separated by a layer of mist.
I can't really see it, but I can really see the gentle smile on his face, it's an indescribable feeling.
It's a pity that there are too many pilgrims in recent days, and the audience can't greet them, so they cancel the Q&A session and wait for the next year to open.
Holding the incense candle in the palm of his hand, he lit it with the candle flame prepared in the temple, and came to the statue of the ancestor of Sanqing Dao.
The incense burner was filled with incense sticks of various lengths, some of which were about to burn out.
But there are also ten unusually striking incense candles standing in it.
They are about the thickness of a normal man's thumb, dark yellow throughout, burn slowly, and the smoke is thicker than the other thin branches.
Mingzhen Taoist said that this is merit incense.
The pilgrims were unaware, and although they didn't know what it was good for, there was something more in their eyes called awe.
The incense worship lasted until the end of the evening, and the disciples of the Dripping Water Temple closed the mountain gate, and then beat their backs to rest.
However, the little milk baby who had been playing for a day was still in good spirits and jumped into the main hall.
Holding Cheng Fan's neck, he blinked Kazlan's big eyes, and coquettishly said
, "Master, I want to eat the nine-turn large intestine!"
