Chapter 901 New Year and Temple Fair
ps: Thanks to "nxcx" for the reward.
That night, Chen Xichen, who was frightened, could not sleep well. The wild and terrifying laughter always appeared in his mind unconsciously, and the screams that made people's hair stand on end just hearing it, making goosebumps all over their bodies.
, making her unable to sleep peacefully or being awakened by nightmares when she was half asleep. As a result, Chen Xichen was completely listless the next day, lying on the bed with a sick look.
In fact, this kind of thing can be easily solved by Ito Cheng using a calming charm. However, in order to let Chen Xichen deepen her memory and prevent her from forgetting the pain after the scar healed, I Tocheng did not give it to her after she came back.
The Talisman of Death and Peace nourished her spirit, but directly caused her to suffer a lot of panic.
Although I don’t know what the final effect will be, I believe that for a long time, Chen Xichen will not think about contacting anything extraordinary.
In the next two days, Ito Cheng went to the Merlin Library in the British [Magic Realm] to secretly copy books during the day, and discussed and studied with Ingrid, Betty and Bella, the three magicians he hired, and returned to the place in the evening.
The old Chen family in the stable spent the night resting peacefully, and in a blink of an eye it was the 30th day of the Lunar New Year.
Because he was just a deputy director with little authority, after accompanying the director and other chief officials on their routine New Year's visit, uncle Chen Yongli returned home and celebrated the New Year with his family and Ito Cheng.
However, when Mr. Chen didn't do anything, Chen Yongli was too embarrassed to do it, Ito Cheng refused to let him do it, and Chen Xichen was not energetic, the New Year's Eve meal was completely handled by Liu Xiaohua. Fortunately, since Chen Yongli became the deputy director
, she got used to it, and this time there was just one more Ito Cheng, so she was able to fool around without looking too busy.
During this period, Wang Xue and Liu Sisi, who were Chen Xichen's best friends, also called her and asked her to hang out with them, but they were rejected by Chen Xichen who had not yet fully recovered her energy. She had to stay at home and live a peaceful New Year.
"9,8,7,6...3,2,1. Bang bang bang bang, crackle..." Along with the countdown of the Spring Festival Gala host on TV, colorful fireworks flashed in the sky outside the window, and at the same time
A series of chaotic explosions came from outside the window.
"Happy New Year..." Ito said goodbye to Mr. Chen, Chen Yongli, Liu Xiaohua and Chen Xichen.
"Here you are, your red envelope." Mr. Chen took out two red envelopes that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Ito Cheng and Chen Xichen, who paid New Year's greetings to the old man after him.
"Thank you (thank you, grandpa)" Ito Cheng and Chen Xichen said together.
The old man who still couldn't hear the words "grandpa" from Ito Cheng's mouth dimmed, picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip.
"This is what your uncle and I gave you." Liu Xiaohua then took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Ito Cheng.
"Thank you." Ito Cheng thanked him.
"Here's this for you, remember to keep it safe." Then, Ito pretended to take out a Buddha statue jade pendant hung by a slender red string from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Xichen who asked him "Happy New Year"
said.
"Thank you, brother." Chen Xichen, who knew that what Ito Cheng gave personally would never be simple, thanked him quickly, then lowered his head, put the jade Buddha pendant in his hand around his neck, and stuffed the jade statue into his clothes.
Instantly, a refreshing and cool breath suddenly came out from the jade pendant on her chest and spread throughout Chen Xichen's body, making her feel a little depressed for a while and regaining her energy.
This jade Buddha is an ordinary jade pendant that Ito Cheng bought for 800 yuan in Wangfujing. Naturally, it does not have the ability to invigorate people. However, Ito Cheng bought it and used it with the Taoist Qingxin Talisman he mastered.
After the incantation of the evil-proofing talisman was engraved, it was given that ability. In other words, the jade Buddha, after being transformed by Ito Cheng, became the lowest-grade Taoist consecrated magic weapon.
Of course, it is not possible for Ito Cheng to transform the Jade Buddha into a higher grade, but it is not suitable for Chen Xichen, who is protected by the life-saving weapon he buried in his body, and it is not suitable for a man who is a famous person no matter how you look at it.
It is extremely dangerous for an ordinary girl to carry such a high-level magic weapon with her in the city. On the contrary, families that only have the functions of purifying the mind and warding off evil spirits, and have some connections, can seek help from places like Baiyun Temple.
The consecrating device I received is more suitable.
After completing the New Year greetings, Ito Cheng and Lao Chen's family picked up their chopsticks again and enjoyed the dumplings stuffed with celery and pork in front of them. The familiar taste immediately conquered Ito Cheng's taste, and he couldn't help but do it again and again. It didn't take long.
He wiped out the plate of dumplings placed in front of him.
Watching Ito Cheng eating, Liu Xiaohua, who felt that his craftsmanship was affirmed, smiled even more on his face. He quickly stacked another plate of dumplings on the empty plate and added some dumplings for Ito Cheng.
Just like this, he was eating dumplings stuffed with celery and pork that had a familiar taste. Watching the almost unattractive Spring Festival gala broadcast on TV, Ito Cheng spent his first pure "Chinese New Year" since he was reborn into this world.
”.
"Xichen, I will take your brother to the temple fair in Baiyunguan later." The next day, which is the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Xiaohua said to Chen Xichen who walked out of the bedroom, and then turned to Chen Xichen without waiting for him to speak.
He looked at Ito Cheng and smiled and said, "Xicheng, go to the temple fair to burn incense and pray for blessings. I believe you will have good luck in the year."
"Okay." Ito Cheng agreed calmly.
In addition to the most basic incense-burning activities at the Baiyunguan Temple Fair, there are also a variety of old Beijing snacks. Therefore, after Chen Xichen and Ito Cheng simply ate a few dumplings to fill their stomachs, they both walked out of the house on an empty stomach.
, hailed a taxi at the entrance of the community and headed to No. 9, Baiyunguan Street, Baiyun Road, near the Public Security University.
The Baiyunguan Temple Fair is indeed one of the largest temple fair venues in Beijing. Before the car could even drive to the place, the surrounding traffic conditions had become extremely congested and the crowds of people were overwhelming.
Seeing this, Ito Cheng took the initiative to pay the taxi fare, got out of the taxi with Chen Xichen, and rushed inside with the crowded crowd. During the journey, if the two of them saw any special snacks they wanted to eat, they would also be at the stall.
Stop and spend money to buy other foods such as large skewers of mutton skewers, bean juice, pancakes, fried lamb, xiaolongbao, etc. to fill your empty stomach.
However, there were too many kinds of snacks on the road. Just after walking halfway, the two of them were almost full. They could only take a bunch of bright red candied haws in each hand and gnaw on them while moving towards Baiyun Temple.
I don’t know if it’s because he and Chen Xichen don’t look like rich people, or because the thieves on New Year’s Day are more sophisticated and don’t act like filial sons, but they didn’t encounter them at all in such a crowded crowd.
The thieves who were almost on the streets managed to enter Baiyun Temple smoothly.
Now that they have entered the temple, even if Ito Cheng is a special person and has evolved like an immortal Buddha, he does not mind going in and paying homage, treating it as paying homage to a senior who is walking on the path of spiritual practice. So Ito Cheng and Chen Xichen followed.
People walked to the side where large incense was sold, took out a hundred yuan to buy a handful of large incense, and walked into the hall holding some large incense. When passing by the eight-dragon pillar incense burner, they put the large incense in their hands.
Light the incense and insert it into the incense burner.
Although there was a large flow of people, the order was still quite orderly, so after waiting for a while, Ito Cheng and Chen Xichen also entered the temple and paid homage to the strange gods in the temple. However, Ito Cheng did not leave immediately after worshiping the gods, but took care of himself.
He led Chen Xichen and walked towards the Taoist priest on duty.
"Taoist Master." Ito Cheng shouted to the Taoist priest with a bow.
"Good faith." The Taoist priest returned the greeting.
"Taoist Priest, can I meet with the master of Guan Nei Guan?" Ito Cheng asked.
"I'm sorry, dear believer. The master of the temple has gone out at the invitation and is not in the temple. Please forgive me." The Taoist priest replied.
"That's right." Ito Cheng nodded with a slight frown, and then asked again, "Then if I want to read the "Orthodox Dao Zang" stored in Langui Temple, who do I need to ask for permission?"
The so-called "Zhengtong Dao Zang" does not represent the orthodox Dao Zang of Taoism, but the Dao Zang compiled during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty. Together with the "Wanli Sutra Dao Zang", there are a total of 5,485 volumes of Dao Zang in the entire Baiyun Temple, which is the most important volume of Taoism.
Collection of classics!
"If you want to read and read the scriptures, believers can come to my temple on the first to seventh day of the sixth lunar month to participate in the sutra-drying meeting and read the scriptures." The Taoist priest bowed his hands and replied.
"Isn't it possible now?" Ito Cheng asked with a frown.
"If you want to read the scriptures, you need to get permission from the master of the pavilion, or have a reading permission certificate issued by the Taoist Association." The Taoist replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"Forget it." Ito Cheng shook his head and said, then walked away from the Taoist priest with Chen Xichen and walked towards the outside of Baiyun Temple.
Since it was so troublesome to even ask for scriptures, let alone enter the ancestral hall to see the Tao Te Ching and the Yin Fu Sutra engraved on the wall, Ito gave up the plan and continued to visit the temple fair with Chen Xichen. As for that
The 5,485 volumes of the "Orthodox Taoist Canon" and "Wanli Continuing Taoist Canon" can only be approved through normal channels and read in the ancient books library of the National Library... Although the procedures will be cumbersome and may not be available.
Approval comes down.
After wandering around the crowded temple fair for several hours, Ito Chengcai and the satisfied Chen Xichen left Baiyun Guan Street and took a bus back to the community where Lao Chen's family lived. But the next moment he and Chen Xichen stepped out of the taxi, there was a burst of
The phone ringing suddenly came from Ito Cheng's trouser pocket.
"You go in first." Ito Cheng took out his mobile phone and casually looked at the screen. He frowned slightly when he found that there was no caller ID on it. Then he pressed the answer button and put it aside, while looking at the person next to him.
Chapter completed!
