Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 412 Gumanthong Temple

The next day, Li Changsheng and Jiang Chen came to the famous Gumantong temple in Nanyang.

This temple is very grand, with the golden dome of the round wheel, resplendent and resplendent, and many believers come to visit and worship.

This was originally a temple of a local religion called Tian Po Gate.

Speaking of this Tian Po sect, there are many years of history. It is said that it appeared in several centuries AD.

However, this sect, as the primitive religion of the Nanyang generation, can be passed down, but it has been developed in an orthodox way.

The mages in the Tian Po sect began to receive precepts when they were young, and then entered the temple to practice. Some are similar to the oriental dharma gates, but the difference is that if the mages in this sect are willing to contribute some money, they can But looking for them to solve disasters and difficulties, they will not take the initiative to help ordinary people.

Handed down for thousands of years, the Tianpomen and the descendant became the main magicians of the Nanyang generation. Later, some signs of fusion gradually appeared, so in the temples of the Tianpomen, there are often The head-down master came to communicate with them and learn some spells.

In the altar hall of the temple, on the walls on both sides, there are small grids, and there are various ancient mantongs in the grids.

And in the middle of the altar hall, there is a statue of the gods and gods believed by Tian Pomen.

Many of these ancient mantongs are made by the mages of Tianpomen, who help believers make their children who died prematurely, and put them in the temple to listen to the scriptures and accumulate merits. Some of them are deposited by the local head master here.

These Gumantongs are both good and evil, and the details are not known, but if people who come to visit or worship have a fancy, they can pay a part of the gold and invite the Gumantongs back to their homes to make offerings to.

Ask Gumantong to go back. There is a special procedural ceremony. After the procedural ceremony is completed, this Gumantong will have a blood relationship with this person, and will have a tacit understanding, and will recognize this person as his master.

For the local people, influenced by culture, it is not surprising that Gumantong is kept at home.

As soon as Li Changsheng and Jiang Chen came here, Jiang Chen looked very excited.

After all, I have only heard of it, and I have never seen such things as Gumantong with my own eyes.Now walking in the main hall of the Dharma altar, looking at the ancient mantongs inside the rock wall, Jiang Chen couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li...do you think this ancient mantong is really so magical?"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly, and said: "There is nothing magical, it's just some baby spirits, so naturally they have some supernatural powers."

"Oh..." Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, watching carefully.

Li Changsheng was not interested in these ancient mantongs, but instead stared at the statues in the main hall of the Dharma altar carefully.

There are quite a few believers who come to worship the gods in the altar hall, but most of them are locals. For those tourists who come from other places, they have no interest in the gods of this Tianpomen at all, and only those who attract them Gumanthong.

In fact, there are many believers in the Eastern Dharma School in the Nanyang generation. It is said that when the Dharma School was established, it also borrowed a lot of teaching theories from the Tian Po School. For example, the word "Brahma" was first derived from Tian Po door.The local people believe that the real gods live in Brahma, and the gods in Brahma are actually just like human beings, there are good and evil.

"Hey...Mr. Li, look at this Gumantong...so special."

Jiang Chen suddenly called out, which caught Li Changsheng's attention.

Li Changsheng followed the Gumantong he mentioned, and only saw a colorful villain in a small glass bottle, with his eyes wide open and laughing.

The appearance of this Gumantong was indeed different from other Gumantongs, so it was no wonder that it caught Jiang Chen's attention.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's face was in a trance, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the Gumantong, and said: "I look at this Gumantong, I don't know why... the more I look at it, the more I like it, I just feel that it seems to be related to the ancient mantong. I am destined."

Li Changsheng was on the side, frowning slightly, stretched out a hand, put it on Jiang Chen's shoulder, and said loudly, "Don't look..."

After the words fell, Jiang Chen's whole body shook, and he came back to his senses immediately, and couldn't help looking at Li Changsheng who was beside him.

Li Changsheng said slowly: "This Gumantong is indeed a bit weird...I reckon that it used some kind of magic just now to hold your soul...that makes you feel that you have a sympathy with it. I want you to take it home..."

"This..." Jiang Chen's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

Li Changsheng smiled coldly, and said: "If I hadn't helped you stabilize your soul, I'm afraid you really want to invite this Gumantong home."

Some of the Gumantongs here are highly skilled, and they will use some special tricks to attract the attention of visitors, so that they can take them home.After all, it is very boring to stay in this temple every day and only listen to the mage chanting scriptures. Gumantong belongs to children, so it is naturally a bit playful.

"Hey... look... this Gumantong is so cute..."

A woman's voice suddenly sounded behind Li Changsheng and Jiang Chen.

The two only heard the voice somewhat familiar, and couldn't help turning their heads to look.

He only saw Zhu Yaoyao standing behind the two of them, with He Ziming, Tang Qing'er and Xue Haoyang on the side.

I didn't expect such a coincidence, I met these four people on the plane yesterday, and I met these four people again when I came to this temple today.

"What's so cute about this Gumantong?" He Ziming looked at the Gumantong, shook his head, and said slowly.

Zhu Yaoyao quickly said: "Other ancient mantongs are all of the same color, but this ancient mantong is colorful, and it is obviously cute to look at..."

"Yeah...you said it like that, it's true." Tang Qing'er, who was at the side, echoed.

Zhu Yaoyao clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Why don't we ask the mage here...see if I can invite this Gumantong back..."

"Yaoyao, what did you say? Before you came here...you said you didn't believe in things like Gumantong, why are you following a demon now." Xue Haoyang seemed more rational, and quickly said.

Zhu Yaoyao snorted coquettishly, and said, "I don't care, I just like it, and you're not my boyfriend, why should you care about me?" After finishing speaking, she said to He Ziming, "I'm going to bring this Gumantong Go home...will you give it?"

"Here..." He Ziming said quickly when he saw Zhu Yaoyao acting like a baby.

"This Gumantong... I advise you not to take it back... Otherwise, it will easily cause trouble."

Li Changsheng on the side suddenly spoke.

Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to have a magical power, which immediately brought Zhu Yaoyao back to her senses.

Zhu Yaoyao looked at the ancient mantong, and felt a little confused for a while, but when she looked at Li Changsheng at the side, she seemed to feel a little angry because of being contradicted by a stranger, and the eldest lady suddenly became angry, and said, "Who are you? This Gumantong, whether I take it home or not...what does it have to do with you?"

"It's just a little Gumantong, what's the trouble? What's more...it's said that this thing can bring people good luck. What nonsense are you talking about..." He Ziming looked at Li Changsheng and Jiang Chen with disdain With a glance, he opened his mouth and said.
