Chapter 173 Burning Incense (1/2)



The next day, after breakfast, the family planned to go burn incense.

They did not drive their own carriage but rented one. When we were going up the mountain, no one was watching the carriage, so it would be strange if it wasn't stolen.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, the family got off the car, and then they would walk up the mountain.

"Sister, the roadside babes are so pretty!"

"No matter how pretty she is, she's not as pretty as our Li Xi!"

Zhao Liqi covered her face and ran up the mountain shyly. Zhao Dashu saw that he was convinced and said, "You can kill people with your mouth, don't you want to pay for it?"

"No, I'm telling the truth. Dad thinks Li Xi is ugly?"

Li Xi and Song looked at Zhao Dashu at the same time. He felt under great pressure.

My daughter harmed him!

Is she still a sweet and caring little girl?

Because it was spring, the scenery along the way up the mountain was really beautiful. They chatted with each other, and since they were used to farm work and were not tiring people, compared to the people around them who were panting, they really didn't feel tired from going up the mountain.

It took an hour to reach the top of the mountain and arrive at the temple.

"Dad, this temple is really popular."

"Yeah, I heard it's very famous and very effective. Many people come here to burn incense and make wishes."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Song blinked, "Then you really have to worship well. Donate more incense money later."

Song grabbed Zhao Dashu's sleeve and said, "Master, I've never been here before. I don't know how to do it or how to worship. What should I do? I'm afraid that I won't do it well and the gods and Buddhas will blame me."

The wife really didn't ask the right person. He didn't dare to brag about this, "It's my first time here too, and I don't know anything. How about this, we just do what you see others do." It's always right to copy what others do.

"Okay, I'll just do whatever they do."

Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't bear it any longer, "Mom and Dad, in front of the gods and Buddhas, sincerity will do the trick, and everything can be done as your heart desires."

"Xiaoyu is right, just follow your heart."

When worshipping, it was really crowded. As soon as the kneeling person stood up, someone else would take his place immediately.

Zhao Xiaoyu sighed: Gods and Buddhas are so busy!

After the whole family knelt down and stood in front of the donation box at the door, Zhao Xiaoyu's mouth twitched slightly. She really felt that the most realistic place in the world was the temple. Buddha does not save those who have no affinity with him. To put it bluntly, Buddha does not save those who have no money.

Song took out the silver ingot she had prepared in the morning from her arms, and two taels of silver went into the merit box. A monk at the side put his hands together and said to them, "Amitabha!"

Zhao Xiaoyu felt that exchanging these four words for two taels was not cost-effective.

When Song saw the monk bowing to her, she quickly bowed back.

Zhao Dashu also whispered, "May the gods and Buddhas bless my family with good health and everything goes well."

After worshiping the Buddha, the devout Zhao Dashu decided to take his family to eat vegetarian food in the temple.

It’s funny to say that a meal for the compassionate Buddha costs thirty copper coins. Zhao Xiaoyu once again felt that this temple was a bit of a fraud.

It doesn't matter. She came here to have fun, not to ask for anything. Looking at my mother sitting there eating vegetarian food, it was her who asked for something, but I guess my mother would be disappointed again.

The gods and Buddhas here are really too busy, and they may not be able to listen to their requests.

However, she admitted that the vegetarian food in this temple was really delicious and not at all the bland food she thought it was. You can tell by looking at the reactions of Dad and Auntie.

Now Li Qi is a bit picky. She is already ordering her second bowl, while Zhao Dashu is already ordering his third bowl. Song also went to fight. She thought it was good to eat more vegetarian food. She was willing to eat the food bathed in incense ash every day.
