Night of Rebirth

While copying "The Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty", Liu Jianye was thinking about what kind of congratulatory gifts should be given to the second master's [-]th birthday, as well as the ceremony of the master's apprenticeship and the meeting ceremony of the brothers.

By the way, I forgot to ask the two masters how many brothers they have and how old they are. I don't know what kind of gift and how many gifts to prepare.

After thinking about it for a day, Liu Jianye decided to give the "Light Ink Autumn Mountain Poetry Post" to the second master. As a congratulatory gift, the second master should not refuse, and the master gave it to the second master who bought it for [-] yuan at the flea market in the city last time— —Xu Beihong's horse.The meeting gift for senior brothers should not be too expensive, what should I give?

Until saying goodbye to the masters in the afternoon, Liu Jianye didn't think about it. Even the gift he had planned to give to the masters before was ruined by a sentence from the second master——Miaoye, on my birthday, you will give me a gift. Calligraphy.To write better, I want to open it in public, for everyone to appreciate, don't make me lose face, otherwise, hum...

The second master used the word "hum hum" at the end, which made Liu Jianye dare not be careless.Less than a day after apprenticeship, Second Master's temper is getting weirder and weirder, how can he break it?

For the sudden request of the second master, Liu Jianye was a little dazed. Compared with the two teachers' handwriting, his handwriting was too tender, and he couldn't handle it at all.Fortunately, the second master and the master waved his hands to let him create slowly at home these few days, and wait until the day before the second master's birthday to go there and meet with the senior brother in advance.

Although the gift needed to be re-prepared after the sudden request of the second master, Liu Jianye also asked the second master how many senior brothers he had.Not counting myself, the great master has five disciples, and the second master has six disciples.

Liu Jianye stayed at home for two days, rummaged through books related to calligraphy, longevity words, and blessings in the bookcase, and settled on words:

In July, there will be fire, and there will be a lot of guests to celebrate Xianweng's birthday.

Congratulations to the door, chatting and laughing, and having fun.

In front of the birthday celebration bottle today, longevity wine, thank you Shien.

May Weng live a long life, like water flowing forever.

Liu Jianye wrote it with the several fonts he had learned, and finally found the most suitable font. "Yan style" is aimed at regular script. Liu Gongquan's regular script has a square and dense structure, light horizontal strokes and heavy vertical strokes, strong and round strokes, and a majestic and majestic momentum.His calligraphy is of course incomparable to Liu Gongquan, but after practicing dozens of times, he still has a bit of character, which is barely able to do it without embarrassing his second master.

After finishing writing the birthday poems, sending them to the master chef to frame them, making an appointment to pick them up, and after admiring the framed works sent by other customers in the store, Liu Jianye left the master's shop contentedly.

This old master was introduced to him by the master when he took back the "Light Ink Autumn Mountain Poetry Post". The master's mounting and repairing skills are very good. It was repaired and mounted by this master craftsman.

"Ye Ye, here."

Liu Jianye followed the voice and saw that Ye Zhiyuan was waving vigorously to him, and Lu Zhuoyu, who was beside him, moved to the side, showing that he was not familiar with the person next to him.

"Zhiyuan, Zhuo Yu." Liu Yaoye approached the two of them.

"Wang Ye, we just went to your house to look for you, and found that the gate was locked. I didn't expect to meet you on the road, how nice! Let's go, let's go to Qingguan Temple together." Ye Zhiyuan said excitedly.

"Go to Qingguan Temple? Why?"

"Go and fulfill your wish! Qingguan Temple is blessed!" Ye Zhiyuan pretended to be mysterious, and said in a low voice: "Before the high school entrance examination, my mother heard from my aunt that Qingguan Temple was very spiritual. However, I did get good grades in the high school entrance examination. Before the high school entrance examination, my mother also took me to Qingguan Temple to worship, and now I have also achieved good results, and now I have to pay my vows."

After hearing Ye Zhiyuan's words, Liu Yaoye turned his head to look at Lu Zhuoyu, expressing with his eyes, unexpectedly, you don't believe in such things as praying to gods and worshiping Buddha.

Lu Zhuoyu hummed softly to Liu Jianye, turned his head, and looked straight ahead.The dissatisfaction in my heart is not because I am worried about someone who can't tell the difference between the serious and the missing exams.

Liu Yaoye, who knew Lu Zhuoyu's cold and hot personality well, naturally didn't have any feelings for his behavior, so he turned to Ye Zhiyuan and asked, "Apart from the fact that Qingguan Temple is very effective for hugging Buddha's feet, is there any other aspect?" Very smart?"

"Other aspects?"

"For example: in terms of physical health?" Liu Jianye gave an example. If this aspect is also effective, he thinks he can ask for a few peace charms and come back as a gift for the brothers.

"I didn't pay attention." Ye Zhiyuan scratched his hair, and said indifferently: "After arriving at Qingguan Temple, let's ask."

"Alright." Liu Yaoye nodded.

"You actually believe in these supernatural powers." Lu Zhuoyu said with contempt.

"It's better to believe in something than nothing." Liu Jianye said calmly facing Lu Zhuoyu's contemptuous gaze.He used to be considered an atheist, (Why do you say so? Because there are still some ghosts.) But after rebirth, he can be regarded as having experienced the power of ghosts and ghosts, and he is considered a half-theist. Yes, it is unbelievable that there is none.

"Liu Jianye, you are actually a theist, have you been wasting your studies all these years!" Lu Zhuoyu

"Zhuo Yu, I think what Tiao Ye said is right, I'd rather believe it than nothing. My grades in the senior high school entrance examination this time are the evidence." Ye Zhiyuan felt that his good grades in the exam must be the result of the blessing of the Buddha. Otherwise, why did his grades this time be better than those in previous exams.

The three of them chattered all the way to Qingguan Temple.

The three of them entered the main hall of Qingguan Temple without looking sideways. Lu Zhuoyu looked up slightly to see the Buddha sitting on it. It was not as big as the one in the TV series, and it was not golden.As soon as he turned his head, he saw Liu Yaoye and Ye Zhiyuan kneeling there with reverent faces, and Ye Zhiyuan was muttering words.

Lu Zhuoyu was speechless for a while, he is an atheist, he believes in science more than gods and Buddhas.But... Lu Zhuoyu knelt down to worship, after all, he went to the village to do as the Romans did, and went to the temple to worship Buddha.

It was already a great blessing for Liu Jianye to be able to live again, so he didn't mutter to the Buddha statue like Ye Zhiyuan did. Besides, there are so many people who mutter to the Buddha statue every day, even a Buddha can't control it.

After worshiping the Buddha devoutly, he walked up to the middle-aged monk beside him and asked him if there were any safety charms or amulets for sale in this temple.

The middle-aged monk nodded, and brought Liu Jianye to the old monk who was unscrambling the signature, and told the old monk that Liu Jianye wanted to buy a safe talisman.

The old monk slowly took out a dilapidated wooden box from under the table, opened the lid, grabbed the red string, and took out the triangular symbols one by one and put them on the table.The first one is made of paper talisman; the second one is made of black material that looks like a stone; the third one is made of light green jade; the fourth one is also jade, but the jade of this one is greener, and there is silver around the jade Surrounded by metal, the old monk said it was gold inlaid with jade.

After the triangular amulets of four materials were placed on the table, the middle-aged monk introduced them to Liu Jianye one by one.Paper talismans are made of talisman paper and cinnabar, the effect is the worst, but they are also the cheapest, only [-] cents per talisman.

The black stone-like material is obsidian. Obsidian is one of the gemstones used in Buddhist beads and handicrafts. It has been used as a talisman and amulet since ancient times, symbolizing friendly love and hope.In traditional folklore, obsidian is usually combined with Pixiu to make various ornaments and decorations, which are used to wear or place in the home, which can attract wealth, transfer, ward off evil spirits and town houses. At present, the effect of Pixiu is more obvious.

Lu Zhuoyu, who also had nothing to ask for the Buddha, quickly followed Lu Zhuoyu, pointing to the triangular obsidian and asking, why are they not in the shape of a pixiu? Could it be a lie?

The old monk looked like a tall man from the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word, he didn't even lift the corner of his eyes.

The middle-aged monk explained calmly that the peace talisman is a triangular talisman.Then he went on to say that obsidian is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, but their temple has always taken the benefit of the people as its mission, and only charges for materials, not even manual fees. A talisman only costs ten yuan.

Seeing Liu Jianye was not moved, but it didn't seem like he couldn't afford it.The middle-aged monk introduced the third material to Liu Jianye—jade. It is said that jade utensils have the effect of calming shocks, attracting good luck and avoiding evil.Jade can make the wearer concentrate and gather energy, and has the magic power of exorcising evil and avoiding evil.In order to benefit the people, the temple also only charges material fees, 50 yuan each.

what about this?Liu Jianye pointed to the jade talisman inlaid with silver metal at the end and asked, this kind of jade that looks the most exquisite and dark green wrapped in silver metal makes people like it, beautiful and moving.

Seeing that Liu Jianye was interested in the most expensive gold inlaid jade, the middle-aged monk mainly introduced that this kind of gold inlaid jade uses B-grade beautiful jade. The important thing is that it is stronger than the previous three materials, not easy to break, and the effect is also the most effective among these four materials.If Liu Jianye likes it, one piece only costs 150 yuan, which is definitely a good quality and cheap.

Liu Jianye made a lot of money selling stocks a while ago. He wanted to buy the most expensive and most effective amulets. The gold inlaid jade is not only suitable for all ages, but also not easy to break.But he didn't have so much cash on him, and he couldn't swipe his card in the temple, and there were no banks around, so what should he do?

I want to buy luxury goods, but I don’t have enough cash on me, there is no credit card machine in the store, and there are no banks around, how can I break it?Waiting online, hurry back?

Liu Jianye stared at the gold inlaid jade talismans and counted them, and there were only sixteen of them, just as he needed sixteen talismans. (Two masters + 11 seniors + Lu Zhuoyu + Ye Zhiyuan + myself = 15 peace symbols)

Liu Jianye told the two monks that he did not bring enough cash with him, so he had to go to withdraw the money first and come back to buy it later.

Although he disapproved of Liu Jianye buying these superstitious things, Lu Zhuoyu still said that he could lend him the money first.

Liu Yaoye shook his head and refused, he wanted to buy all sixteen of these talismans, 2400 yuan is not a small amount for now, not to mention Lu Zhuoyu, most of them would not be able to get it out even for adults.

Liu Yaoye asked Lu Zhuoyu and Ye Zhiyuan, who had finally expressed his wishes to the Buddha, to go home first. He had to go to the bank to withdraw money, and he didn't know how long it would take.

Lu Zhuoyu said to wait for him here, and Ye Zhiyuan also said that he wanted to take a good look around the temple. The last time I came with my mother, I didn't have time to look around.

When Liu Jianye came back with the money, he found that one of the gold-encrusted and jade-encrusted peace talismans had been bought, and now there were only fifteen left, so he bought all fifteen of them, and the old monk gave him two more concentric knots. Said it was a gift, and at the end I gave him two sentences—marriage is destined, remember, follow your own heart in everything.

Liu Jianye was at a loss when he heard the old monk's words. It wasn't until he recalled this sentence after he was no longer single that he realized that the old monk was what everyone said-God Assist.

They gave Lu Zhuoyu and Ye Zhiyuan two of the peace talismans. Knowing the price, they naturally couldn't accept it, but they finally accepted it under Liu Jianye's insistence.
