Chapter 373 Making a Wish
The next day,
Without waiting for the sun to burn his butt, Chen Zhancai got up early, washed, ate and drank, and sent Liu Fengjiao and his son to the ox cart. Then he took some incense, paper and fruits to burn incense and worship Buddha.
The City God Temple is located at the foot of Shuangliu Mountain, more than ten miles away from Nanshan Village.
It is said that the City God Temple is quite effective and has a lot of incense.
On the first day of every lunar month, devout men and women from all over the country would flock to the temple to burn incense, make wishes and pray for peace.
After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the foot of Shuangliu Mountain. Looking around, we saw crowds of people.
Chen Zhancai walked forward with the crowd, sweating profusely, and finally squeezed through the mountain gate to the entrance of the main hall.
He wanted to burn some incense, kowtow a few times and go home quickly, but the person who was burning the incense was too slow.
The shortest time is half an incense stick of time. After kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, he still mumbles endlessly.
He really wanted to turn around and go home, but then he thought, if you are sincere, your wish will come true. If he doesn't even have this little patience, how can the gods bless him to pass the imperial examination?
At this moment, a woman was seen kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, muttering something.
"God bless me, please let me have another baby. It doesn't matter if he's ugly or handsome, as long as he's a boy. Our Wang family has been a single-line family for 18 generations, and I can't let him die out with me!"
Chen Zhancai found it interesting and could not help but look at the woman carefully. Seeing that she was already over 40 years old, he felt very funny.
The world is truly vast and full of wonders.
At this age, you are about to have your grandchildren, but you still want to have a baby.
The spirit is commendable, but even if Buddha wanted to help, he couldn’t.
Having a baby is a matter between a couple. If you can get pregnant by just bowing your head twice, what’s the point of having a man do anything?
Suddenly, the voices of the two women in front of him caught his attention.
"This Zhao Di Niang is really desperate. She's already so old, why does she still want to have a baby?"
"What can she do if she doesn't give birth? Her husband isn't very capable, but he has a bad temper. If she doesn't give birth to a son, he will beat her to death sooner or later."
"Yes, Zhao Di Niang's life is really hard. She has to deal with a man who favors boys over girls. She is really unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"You can't say that. Now she has the Buddha's blessing. When she gives birth to a son, her suffering will finally be over and she will finally be able to enjoy happiness."
"You're right. As long as she gives birth to a son, she won't have to suffer."
"That's right. A mother's status depends on her son. To be honest, I'm here to pray for a child for my daughter."
"That's not right. I remember you came here last year to pray for your daughter to have a child. Didn't she get pregnant?"
"What are you talking about? The Bodhisattva in the City God Temple is the most effective. How could she not get pregnant? My daughter has already given birth to a big fat boy. She can herd one sheep and release two sheep. Isn't she still hoping to have another son?"
......
The conversation between the two people made Chen Zhancai very curious. He thought to himself, is it really so effective? If I want a son, I will have one?
If this is true, wouldn't he be very successful?
The more curious I was, the more I wanted to find out. I couldn't help but ask, "Ladies, is this place really so effective?"
Seeing someone talking to them, the two stopped talking, turned around and looked at Chen Zhancai, and said impatiently,
"What are you talking about? The Bodhisattva here is very effective and will answer any prayer. How can you question it?"
"That's right. I haven't heard that sincerity can bring good luck. As long as you have a pious heart, you might even pick up a gold ingot when you go out."
"Really?" Chen Zhancai's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Can you even pick up gold ingots?"
One of the women rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're obsessed with money. The Buddha won't bless someone like you who has bad intentions."
"No, no, no, I'm just talking casually,"
Chen Zhancai was completely frustrated by the scolding, but he was not angry. Instead, he was extremely excited.
No matter what I say, I have to talk to the Buddha.
If you are truly blessed by the gods, future glory and wealth will be within your reach.
Having made up his mind, he was no longer anxious and waited obediently to burn incense and kowtow.
After about two hours, it was finally his turn.
Chen Zhancai straightened his clothes and walked to the statue with a pious look on his face. He lit the three yellow incense sticks in his hand on the candle flame and inserted them into the incense burner.
Then he knelt on the ground with a thud, ignoring the strange looks from everyone around him, clasped his hands together, and began to talk nonstop.
"Gods and Gods, I, Chen Zhancai from Nanshan Village, have come to burn incense and pray. I would like to introduce myself first.
I have studied hard for decades, spent a lot of money from my parents, sold crops and land, just to live like a god.
As the saying goes, burning incense and worshipping Buddha requires sincerity. Today, I come here to worship with an extremely sincere heart.
I pray to the gods to bless me, Chen Zhan, with the talent of Wenquxing, so that my creativity can flow freely and I can write a good article at once, succeed in one go, and return home in glory.
If this makes the Buddha feel embarrassed, you can change to something else.
As the saying goes, "It is better to have a noble person help you than to take a hundred steps by yourself; it is better to have a noble person help you than to have an expert point you in the way."
God's blessing can also allow me to meet a noble person after arriving in Ningjing,
For example, a young and beautiful woman, preferably the daughter of a prime minister, or a lady from a royal family.
As soon as she saw me, she was deeply attracted by my elegant temperament and profound knowledge. She was completely fascinated.
I fell in love with you at first sight,
I won’t marry anyone else… No, no, I won’t marry anyone else.”
The more Chen Zhancai talked about it, the happier he felt. If he really had such an adventure, why would he take the imperial examination? He could just change his shoe uppers into hat brims and ascend to heaven in one step.
Just as his mind was wandering, he heard a whisper behind him. Although the voice was very low, it was clearly heard by Chen Zhancai.
"This guy is quite interesting, just like a widow dreaming of a big dick, thinking of all kinds of good things. He must be still asleep!"
"He's truly greedy. He's lucky to have a wife, but he's still dreaming of a daughter of a noble family. What a foolish dream."
"After he reminded me, I will give it a try later. If a big pie falls from the sky, I won't have to farm those acres anymore."
"Alright, stop causing more trouble. This is embarrassing the gods!"
At this time, Sun, Lin and the rich daughter-in-law had also arrived at the door of the hall. They listened to the discussion of the crowd and tried hard to hold back their laughter.
I leaned forward, wanting to see what this scum looked like, just dreaming of the good things that would fall from the sky...
