Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 652 Xiangguo Temple

I haven't arrived at Xiangguo Temple yet, but just walked to the nearby streets.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan could already feel the prosperity and excitement here.

The streets are full of people, cars and horses gather, and the nearby shops sell Buddhist objects, such as hand-copied scriptures, Buddhist incense for Bodhisattva Buddha, and some artifacts to ward off evil spirits, such as bronze statues of Guanyin, Arhats, etc. Golden statues and more.

Perhaps it was really because of Master Shikong's lecture today that many dignitaries, wives and young ladies from wealthy families came out.

Of course, scholars and literati are not in the minority.

A group of people like Li Xiuyuan and Zhu Yu are simply inconspicuous.

After all, it is in the capital, where scholars are everywhere.

"It's quite lively." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"That's true. We should have come earlier if we knew this. It's noon, and Xiangguo Temple is going to give a vegetarian meal. Many people dare to go to Xiangguo Temple to have a vegetarian meal at this time." Zhang Bangchang wiped his forehead. beads of sweat.

He was frightened when he was bumped and nearly fell.

On the other hand, Li Xiuyuan, a martial arts practitioner, is physically strong and not afraid of walking through crowds.

"kindness?"

Suddenly, he felt something, as if something flew over from the side and hit him.

Relying on his own reaction and martial arts, he reached out and grabbed the object.

When I opened it, I saw that it was a sachet embroidered by a woman. It was bulging, and I didn't know what kind of spices it contained. After smelling it, there was a unique fragrance.

"Giggle~!" A melodious laughter sounded, although Li Xiuyuan couldn't hear it clearly in the crowd, but Li Xiuyuan felt as if he was laughing at himself.

Li Xiuyuan searched for the sound but saw a carriage slowly passing by at this time. Sitting in the carriage was a lady from a wealthy family. She was fifteen years old and was in her prime. Flashing, covered his mouth and smiled coquettishly at him, as if he was laughing at his smelling sachet just now.

Disrespectful.

"Brother Li, where did you get your sachet? It looks like it was given to you by your daughter's family."

Seeing Li Xiuyuan standing there holding the sachet, Zhu Yu couldn't help asking.

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "Just now I saw a lady in the carriage throwing it to Brother Li. I'm afraid she has taken a fancy to Brother Li. I want to take this opportunity to express my admiration. That's how my wife came here." of."

"What? There is such a thing, but why have I never had a woman throw a sachet to me." Zhu Yu was shocked.

Qian Jun on the side said quietly: "You don't have one, and neither do I."

The two looked at each other with a sense of sympathy and mutual comfort.

Li Xiuyuan said: "But I already have a marriage contract, so it is inappropriate to take a sachet from someone else's daughter's house. I have to return it to someone else."

He glanced at the woman in the carriage, she was indeed quite pretty, and she seemed to be from a good family background, if a poor scholar met such a rich lady who appreciates him, it would be the luckiest thing.

But that lady didn't hear Li Xiuyuan's conversation, she just peeked at him secretly from the carriage.

Among so many people, there are quite a few scholars, but she is the only one who only took a fancy to Li Xiuyuan. After all, Li Xiuyuan is tall and slender, and he feels like he stands out from the crowd just by his height, and he is handsome and handsome. Extraordinary, neither dandy nor shabby, so
Characters walking on the street, how can these young ladies who have not left the court dislike it.

Even a woman accompanied by her husband can't help but look at her a few times.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan looking this way, the lady immediately blushed again and put down the curtains, and hid in.

"Brother Li, I'm afraid you won't be able to send this sachet back, so you should keep it." Zhang Bangchang laughed.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "No, no, she's an innocent lady, if I don't return the sachet, wouldn't it be harming others? If someone is obsessed with it and delays their marriage, wouldn't it be my fault? Others You didn't know I was engaged to you."

"It's okay to say that, Brother Li is really a gentleman." Qian Jun said with emotion.

Ordinary scholars will only think that this is a good thing, they have face, and they will definitely put away the sachet. If they meet friends who are not sure, they will brag about it. How can there be someone like Li Xiuyuan who still cares about other people's situation .

"It's not difficult to send the sachet back, just wait and see." Li Xiuyuan threw the sachet into the sky.

After the sachet fell, it suddenly turned into a colorful bird in midair, and flew out chirping and flapping its wings.

"Good spells, it seems that brother Li not only has the ability to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, but also such interesting tricks." Zhang Bangchang applauded seeing this.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "When I was young, I spent more than ten years learning art from a Taoist, but it was just some small skills that could not be put on the stage, so it is not worthy of praise."

They were not surprised to see the spell.

It is not uncommon for officials to know spells in the imperial court. If you have more contact with memorials from various places, you will know. Redressing grievances, wearing a command arrow on the body can subdue demons.

It's just that the mainstream literati still firmly believe that the child's speech is strange and confusing, so even if someone knows magic, they will not show it openly.

Colorful birds flew over and got into the carriage.

The blushing lady in the carriage couldn't help being surprised when she saw a cute colorful bird flying in and falling into her hands. It's only a sachet, but it's very surprising.

Take a closer look, isn't this the sachet that I threw out earlier?
Could it be that young man?
The young lady couldn't help but poke out to take another look.

But Li Xiuyuan bowed his hands to her, gave her a kind smile, and then left with his friend.

The lady couldn't help her beautiful eyes moving slightly: "Such a character is not like ordinary people. Could it be that the gods from the sky descended to the earth, and the ghost fox in the forest manifested?"

She didn't look scared, on the contrary, there was an indescribable strange look, as if she was quite interested in this matter, and her heart was even more beating.

It was hard to get out of the street.

Li Xiuyuan finally came to the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple.

"Xiangguo Temple"

Three large golden lacquered characters hang on the archway. I don't know who wrote it, and it has a unique charm.

"This is the number one temple in the world, Xiangguo Temple?" Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiangguo Temple slightly.

He saw the golden light shrouded in the high sky of Xiangguo Temple, which was dazzling, and he could faintly hear the sound of scriptures, the shadow of Bodhisattva and Buddha.

"This is the scene thanks to the blessing of the monks of the past dynasties. In such a place of Buddhism, ghosts, gods and evil spirits dare not come in. No wonder the people in the capital believe in this Xiangguo Temple. It is indeed unusual. If people who are haunted by evil spirits come When you go to Xiangguo Temple, you only need to live there for a few days and you will be infected by thoughts.
With the blessing of Buddhism, the problem of evil spirits will naturally be solved. "

　This period of time can be regarded as the worst state since I wrote this book.

　　Should be introspection.
