In order to welcome the beloved teacher Xiao Ming, Daoist Liao put on a newly tailored Deluo. He was already handsome, but with the blue placket lining, his eyebrows and eyes were even more distinct.

Dong Qi's camera hadn't been turned off yet, he was thinking that Daoist Master is handsome, wouldn't it be possible to increase the number of retweets by taking more pictures?So he zoomed in and wanted to take a close-up of Daoist Liao.

But Zhang Xiaoming had other concerns, so he directly ordered: "Turn off the camera first, Daoist Liao is a famous religious figure, how can he show his face in the camera?" Willing to appear in public.

Liao Guang just heard what he said, and said calmly: "It's okay to be in the mirror." To strengthen his persuasiveness, he added, "Our Nanning Guan official website has my photo on the homepage."

Thinking of the reason why Liao Guang invited him here, Zhang Xiaoming's expression was a little subtle, and he thought to himself: If you want to experience more people, just add a line "you can walk with a handsome Taoist priest".

However, Taoist temples seem to have male and female distinctions. Is it because they don't recruit female apprentices for experience courses?

After listening to Liao Guang's words, Dong Qi turned on the camera again.

Under the camera, Liao Guang was very calm. He took Zhang Xiaoming to watch the coffin and star gate, and drove straight in. He walked into the mountain gate, and introduced to them in a mellow voice as he walked: "The main halls are all on the central axis. The first one you see immediately The inter-temple hall is the Lingguan Hall, and there are bell and drum towers on both sides of the hall."

Zhang Xiaoming looked at the small two-story buildings on both sides of the main hall, and was quite surprised: "The temple also has a bell and drum tower, but the location of the bell tower and drum tower is exactly the opposite." The drum tower of Nanning Temple is on the east, and the bell tower is on the west.

Liao Guangdao: "This can be regarded as the characteristic of our temple. The location of the second floor of the bell and drum is just opposite to that of other Taoist temples."

Nanning Temple is one of the best Taoist temples in the country, with a superhuman status and many gods enshrined. In addition to the Lingguan Hall, there are also the Sanguan Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, the God of Wealth Hall, etc., and there are even temples dedicated to Lu Dongbin and Sun Simiao, the God of Medicine. .

It took nearly 40 minutes to circle the Taoist temple.

"Our Zhaitang is in the innermost place, unless there is a way, it is not open to the outside world." Liao Guang emphasized, "But don't worry about the taste of the vegetarian dishes. Looking at hundreds of Taoist temples across the country, the taste of Guanzhaitang in Nanning is either the first or the second. ” A Taoist priest like him, who could have eaten at home, went to the vegetarian restaurant to eat vegetarian food, which can already explain the taste.

It was not time to break the fast, and there were not many Taoist priests in the courtyard outside the Zhaitang. Zhang Xiaoming looked around and saw a big orange cat relaxing in the sun.

Liao Guang followed his eyes and said, "This is the wild cat raised in the temple. There are a dozen of them in the temple." After finishing speaking, he saw a young boy in a yellow robe come out leisurely and took the big orange Holding her in her arms, she raised her head to see Liao Guang and said, "Senior Brother, you are here."

Liao Guangchao beckoned, and the child rushed over, as if he couldn't feel the weight of the big orange in his arms.

"This is Xiao Zhao." He first introduced Zhang Xiaoming.

Xiao Zhao still smiled at Mimi, matching his round face with plates and small dimples, it was very pleasing: "Hello, big brother, my name is Zhao Feiyan, I am a wild goose, and it is different from the beautiful girl dancing palm dance."

Zhang Xiaoming thinks it's even more fun, a teenager who knows Zhao Feiyan, one of the four beauties?He knelt down and said, "Hello, Zhao Feiyan, my name is Zhang Xiaoming, not the Xiao Ming in the textbook, but Xiao Ming from 'Chun Mian Don't Know', bright Ming."

Xiao Zhao said: "I know you, you are Teacher Xiao Ming."

Zhang Xiaoming was puzzled when he heard Liao Guang cough and say, "Xiao Zhao, what do you want me to do?"

Little Zhao is a big kid, and he made one thing clear: "Boss Lu, who I contacted two days ago, called and asked if the ground breaking ceremony could be brought forward."

Liao Guang frowned and said, "Didn't it be agreed before that Master would do it himself? Why did you suddenly change the date?" His master recently went out to attend a seminar on Taoism, and he won't be back until a few days later. It was Liao Guang.

Xiao Zhao Jiansheng said: "Boss Lu said that according to the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain for the next week, and only today is sunny. He doesn't want to perform the ceremony on a heavy rain day."

Hearing this reason, Liao Guang was quite speechless: "I'm still accompanying the guests..."

Zhang Xiaoming immediately said: "It's okay, I don't care about it. Daoist Liao's business is the most important thing. The Taoist temple that we visited for so long before is already good enough. Daoist should go and get busy!" When it happened, Zhang Xiaoming's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: I haven't seen Taoist priests do it yet...

Do what you do and love what you do. Although Zhang Xiaoming has not formally stepped into the world of subduing demons and eliminating demons, because of his previous experience, he is now more curious about things about gods and ghosts.

Liao Guang knew how to read the atmosphere, saw Zhang Xiaoming's eyes shining, and said, "Actually, the place where the ceremony is held is not very far away. If Teacher Xiao Ming is curious, you might as well go and observe it together."

Zhang Xiaoming said embarrassedly, "Would it be too disturbing?"

"No, originally there were a lot of people watching the ground breaking ceremony, and most of the Taoist priests would go to accompany the chanting practice. Sometimes the number is not enough, and the laity children who lead the practice will also help one or two." His facial expression was a little sparse, But the content of the words is very sincere, "In addition to our Taoist practices, Boss Lu also invited monks from the local monastery to come to perform rituals. Teacher Xiao Ming, you are a lay Buddhist, and you will definitely not affect the rituals."

Zhang Xiaoming couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after hearing this: "Monks also want to practice?" Isn't Buddhism and Taoism usually only choose one?

Daoist Liao said calmly, "Buddha and Taoism are family members."

……

These days, real estate developers are used to holding a ceremony before breaking ground. Not to mention the ribbon-cutting speech, the ancestors’ rituals are also indispensable. Zhang Xiaoming took Dong Qi to the outskirts of the city with the Nanning Guanda troops, only to find out that the ground was about to be broken. Surrounded by water.

Boss Lu of the real estate developer likes big scenes, and the ground-breaking ceremony not only invited monks and priests, but also construction workers, excavation teams, and company executives, all present, and he even brought his family along.

Now the employees stand neatly in a square shape according to the queue, which is quite conspicuous.

Dong Qi looked quite surprised: "It's really impressive."

The monk is a monk from the local Puchang Temple. The location of the temple is close to the suburbs, very close to the construction site, and he came earlier than the Taoist priests. At this time, the altar was almost built, and the monks also put their own futons on the ground Constantly adjust the position.

The abbot of Puchang Temple was relatively young, and when he saw Daoist Liao, he nodded kindly.

Zhang Xiaoming can see ghosts. He knows that some undeveloped areas used to be cemeteries or chemical industry areas. According to his experience, there are more ghosts in these areas, and some of them have strange shapes. They don’t look like they died normally. According to Master Huineng Occasionally, evil spirits will breed, but the land in front of me is much cleaner than other new lands.

He took out his mobile phone and searched online, and found that this land was originally a large farmland on the outskirts of the city, so he nodded in understanding.

Xiao Zhao suddenly jumped out from some corner, grabbed Zhang Xiaoming's hand and shook, "Mr. Xiao Ming, senior brother asked me to take you to the family area." Then he brought the two adults closer to the corner.

The family area is not like the staff area, everyone gathers in twos and threes, there are adults, old people and children, but there are many people, it looks more imposing, and nothing else.

……

At the start of the Dharma Conference, the local Taoism is flourishing, so let the Taoist priests of Nanning Temple show their fists first. Zhang Xiaoming regards himself as a little half Buddhist disciple. Interested.

Buddhism focuses on chanting scriptures. The melodious Sanskrit sounds linger above the land and cannot dissipate for a long time. People who understand Buddhist scriptures can taste the Zen in them. Even if they don’t understand, they will feel relaxed physically and mentally, and their souls seem to have been washed away generally.

All the monks first recited the Praise of Yang Zhi for Purifying the Water, followed by the Mantra of Andi and the Praise of the God of Land. Naturally, the Great Compassion Mantra is indispensable.

Sprinkling cleansing means sprinkling perfume to purify things. The perfume blessed by the scriptures is sprinkled on the solid ground. Almost all the ghosts wandering in the rice fields ascended to heaven without regret. The shining souls are like meteors in the daytime. It turned into streaks of green smoke.

There are also some ghosts with evil spirits, knotted quail clothes, dull faces, and blood-stained bodies.He can occasionally see these ghosts on the street. It is said that they are civilians who died in the war decades ago. Because they died so badly, they are tortured by the memories of their lives every day. Their situation is between ordinary ghosts and unjust ghosts.

Zhang Xiaoming met, although he was very sympathetic, he didn't know what to do.

However, now, under the blessing of several scriptures, the resentment and evil spirit on their bodies dissipated little by little, the coarse linen clothes faded and became clean, and a simple smile gradually appeared on their sad faces.

Seeing them slowly ascending into the sky and into the clouds in Sanskrit, Zhang Xiaoming's heart skipped a beat.

Dong Qi came into contact with religious matters for the first time, and he watched them with great interest. He sighed with Zhang Xiaoming: "It's quite interesting to watch the religious ceremonies of our country occasionally." He paused and said, "Mr. I really feel that the anxiety in my heart has been soothed, and I finally understand why you went to Buddhist meditation."

"Just to escape the city, escape the hustle and bustle!"

Dong Qi looked at Zhang Xiaoming begging for praise, and the latter laughed twice, but said nothing: You know what a fart, bro!

……

The ceremony took two and a half hours. When the Taoist priests returned to Nanning Temple, the fasting hall happened to be open, and it was a normal fasting meal with only vegetarian dishes.There is no way, except for the Huoju Taoist like Liao Guang, most of the Taoist priests who live in the Taoist temple must abide by the rules and regulations. They cannot marry wives and have children, and they cannot drink alcohol or eat meat. The requirements are similar to monks.

But Taoist priest Liao Guang did not exaggerate. The Taoists in the temple said that the leaves of these vegetables were grown by themselves. Different from the vegetables sold in the market, they are not only juicy, but also sweet.

After the vegetarian dishes were exhausted, Zhang Xiaoming was about to go to the hotel where he was staying, but before he went out, he was called out by Liao Guang who sent someone out.

"Teacher Xiao Ming."

He turned his head, followed Ye Guang, and saw a trace of hesitation and struggle on Liao Guang's Bingshan handsome face. Zhang Xiaoming was shocked, thinking that he had something important to tell him.

Silence, the overwhelming silence weighed heavily on the few people present, even Dong Qi, who was out of the situation, subconsciously let down his breathing, waiting for the powerful Daoist Liao to speak.In a short period of time, his mind was full of fantastic ideas. Could it be that there is something wrong with Mr. Xiao Ming?Yintang blackened?Is there a bloodbath?

Liao Guang: "..."

"Mr. Xiao Ming, please go, come back next time and let's finish watching."

The voice was dry without any ups and downs. When Zhang Xiaoming heard this greeting suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched. After a while, he said, "Okay, thank you Daoist Liao today."

Liao Daochang nodded coldly.

Under the cold moonlight, he watched the two of them drift away until they couldn't see their backs, and they didn't leave.

"Crack——" the heavy Taoist door was pushed open, and Xiao Zhao squeezed out from the crack of the door, with Daju still at his feet, and he sighed old-fashionedly: "Hey, didn't you say it again? Want an autograph?"

Liao Guang: "..." His heart was bleeding.

"Hey!" Xiao Zhao sighed heavily again, "If the grown-ups are just like you, and keep their half-baked words in their hearts, then I'd rather not grow up." The grown-ups are so stupid!The clever Zhao Feiyan thought so.

……

A few days later, Zhang Xiaoming took Dong Qi back to Nandu City. He and his staff worked overtime in the studio for a few days to edit the second issue of "Vegetarian Journey". The short video not only contains exquisite vegetarian food, but also Take the footage of these Taoist monks doing things.

Of course, he has to authorize these shots, and Boss Lu is eager for someone to help him promote them.

He looked at the solemn and solemn monk chanting mantras in the picture over and over again, and secretly made a decision.

Before the next meditation practice, he said seriously to Master Huineng: "Master, I need to eat meat because of work, but I am really interested in Buddhism. See if I can accept the five precepts and become a lay Buddhist."

Lay Buddhist is the monastic's name for those who believe in Buddhism at home. Compared with sacrificing and converting to Buddhism, lay Buddhists are much less bound, just observe the Three Refugees, the Five Precepts and fasting.The five precepts refer to no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, and no drinking of alcohol. Vegetarian food is allowed, as long as it is the three clean meats.

Zhang Xiaoming thought about it carefully, and felt that these conditions could still be fulfilled by himself.

Master Huineng was very happy when he heard his words, and immediately put his hands together and recited the Buddha's mantra: "Amitabha, it is of course very good that Master Zhang has such a heart."

He laughed and said, "But before becoming a layman, you still need a layman's certificate."

Zhang Xiaoming:? ? ?

Belief in religion is hard.
