Chapter 19 The Broker

From the foot of the mountain to climb up the steps and reaching Dingguang Temple on the top of the mountain, Chen Qingzhi happened to walk through the 108 steps.

One hundred and eight ladders represent one hundred and eight kinds of troubles in life. Stepping on the steps means entering the Dharma. From then on, you can avoid suffering, accumulate merits, and distinguish between good and evil.

The ochre red vermilion door is open, as if welcoming guests from all directions, and there are couplets hanging on both sides of the door.

The first couplet: The Dharma body always appears in the pagoda.

The second couplet: The world of space is like smelling the fragrance of a tan bowl.

You can vaguely hear the chanting of monks in the depths of the temple, accompanied by the sound of bells and chimes, and the solemnity of the treasure temple is revealed.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Qingzhi raised his foot and stepped over the threshold of a foot high and followed the crowd into the temple.

The temple gate is wide open, and the eyes are like a Maitreya Buddha lying on the Buddha's altar. He is fat and has a big belly, and his smile always opens, as if he is seeing all the joys in the world.

Buddhism often regards the left as the supreme, but the left refers to the orientation of the Buddha Bodhisattva as the basis.

Therefore, the three main buildings of Dingguang Temple are located on the right side of the pilgrimage, namely the Heavenly King Hall, the Main Hall and the Three Holy Temples.

On the left is a Thousand Buddha Pagoda Forest, which is funded by pilgrims and believers, and is a skilled craftsman, and carved with axes.

As for the everlasting ancient lamp that Chen Qingzhi was thinking about, it was the most magnificent Main Hall in this place.

Walking seven or eight steps to the right, you can easily see the believers who burn incense in the morning, spontaneously lined up like a dragon, and the line even extended to the vicinity of the Maitreya Buddha statue.

This is the case with the first Heavenly King Hall. If you follow the queue honestly, you may have to pass an hour just by reaching the Buddha.

Before Chen Qingzhi could come up with a countermeasure, a rich man who looked scathing and looking scathing was approaching.

After all, Chen Qingzhi, who was standing among the crowded crowds and did not follow the team, looked really eye-catching.

"I think this little brother is here to come to Dingguang Temple to burn incense for the first time?"

The man in a silk-colored gown finally squeezed to Chen Qingzhi, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with a chuckle.

"How can I see it?"

Chen Qingzhi asked quietly.

"If I had been to Dingguang Temple in the past, I would naturally know that there were so many people in the temple every festival, and it would be almost impossible to line up in a long queue. I would never have done such a dilemma as the young hero."

The rich man then remembered that he had not introduced himself yet.

"By the way, Wang Fucai is barely considered a broker."

"Oh? What you mean is--can you help me?"

Hearing the other party's words, Chen Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled. He probably knew what was going on with the other party.

"Hehe, I guess the young hero also heard the rumors and came to see the eternal lamp in front of the Buddha. Then you will find the right person. This matter will be included in me."

After patting his fat breasts, Wang Fucai promised confidently.

"How much money?"

Without covering up, Chen Qingzhi asked directly.

"We are just worried when we see the young hero. Just do good deeds every day. How can we bring the smell of money in front of the Buddha?"

Wang Fucai recited the guilt several times, but his five thick and short fingers were shaking open in his hand and signaled to Chen Qingzhi.

"Five taels of silver? So expensive!"

Chen Qingzhi frowned.

Although this is only a drop in the bucket for him, his money is not caused by the strong wind.

I gave out five taels of silver for no reason. Is the money on the other side too easy to make?

"It's expensive? I think it's cheap!"

Wang Fucai was unhappy on the spot and pulled Chen Qingzhi forward.

Although he could shake the other party's pull at will, the young man still followed Wang Fucai, crossed the team that was like a winding snake, and turned around and plunged into a path on the right side of the Heavenly King Hall.

Following the stone steps through the bamboo forest, the magnificent Main Hall immediately appeared in front of you.

From the back door of the Heavenly King Hall to the main door of the Main Hall, you can see densely packed pilgrims holding sandalwood in their hands. At least dozens or hundreds of people were crowded together in an open space made of bluestone, moving forward with a numb expression and devout expression.

"Young hero still thinks five taels of silver are expensive now?"

Wang Fucai then pulled Chen Qingzhi to spit and lure him in a row.

"People compete for a breath, and Buddha compete for a stick of incense. The earlier this incense is raised, the more pious the young hero is, the more he believes in worshiping Buddha, and the Buddha will let the everlasting ancient lamp protect the young hero."

"Young hero thinks it's expensive, I think the five taels of silver are cheap!"

As expected, there are scalpers in all worlds. Chen Qingzhi did not expect that he had traveled through time and could even meet these precious people when he worshiped a Buddha.

Knowing the nature of these people, the boy turned around and left without saying a word.

"Hey, no, no, no, this way, for the sake of the Buddha, I just think we are at a loss and make friends. How about the price of three taels of silver at a time?"

Pretending to look like he was painful, Wang Fucai dragged his fat body to block Chen Qingzhi, and his face showed a reluctant expression like cutting his flesh.

"Half a tael."

Chen Qingzhi's words are concise and concise.

The people of Shuo always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark, you must open a window here, and everyone will not agree. But if you advocate demolishing the roof, they will reconcile and say they are willing to open the window.

"Banliang? Kill me!"

"Is it easy to line up with my brothers in this place where birds don't poop early in the morning? People are almost squeezed and lost weight. You can finally get a queue. You just want to buy half a tael of silver!"

"No, you have to add more money!"

Wang Fucai immediately wanted to be the old duck who was strangled to the gate of his life and screamed loudly.

"A pure land of Buddhism, are you afraid that the Buddha Lord will blame you for your fault?"

Chen Qing blocked him with one sentence.

"Forget it, it's really a blessing to meet you!"

After repeated friendly pulls between the two, the final price was finally finalized at one tael of silver and added ten large amounts of tea.

After biting the silver in his hand, he confirmed that it was true. Wang Fucai immediately changed his previous disappointment and happily led the person to a shriveled little man, calling him out to give him the position to Chen Qingzhi.

"Old Wu, I've got the money, so why don't I give the position to this young man?"

The shriveled man called Lao Wu smashed a sip of dry tobacco, looked up at Chen Qingzhi, and hesitated to move away. At this moment, he was only three or four steps away from the main entrance of the Main Palace.

"Hurry up, don't let the monks in Dingguang Temple see it!"

Seeing that the other party was still orderly, Wang Fucai couldn't help but urge him.

The pilgrim who was standing behind Lao Wu saw Lao Wu walk away and change into a young man in brocade clothes. He was about to come forward to argue, but when he saw a ring-headed sword that was eye-catching around Chen Qingzhi's waist, he finally squirmed and didn't open his mouth.

After all, they really have a knife.

As we approached the Main Hall, the buzzing sound of chanting scriptures became clearer and clearer. The sandalwood fragrance swayed over the clouds and smoke, making the Buddha statue in the hall look like sitting in the clouds, so solemn and solemn.
