Chapter 1212 Chapter 235: Fortune Telling
"The Niangniang Temple here is very effective. Whether it is to pray for a child, or to bless the health of the pregnant woman and the safety of the child, it is very effective. Many sisters in my group come here to pray for amulets."
After Wang Qian took the free incense at the gate of the Niangniang Temple, she started talking to Jiang Aijun.
In fact, many temples have free incense gifts and do not charge tickets. Because in addition to state funding, their biggest income is not incense tickets but merit donations.
It's like setting up a merit box next to the free incense, you can give money if you are willing, or you can just take the incense if you don't want to give money. This is a very voluntary act.
But since the implementation of free incense and voluntary merit, the income of Niangniang Temple has been higher than that of selling incense. Because most people are not short of ten or eight yuan now. I really came here voluntarily to offer incense and pray for blessings. Who can really take away the incense without paying a penny?
Fifty cents will always be given to people who have no money, and ten or eight yuan is not a big deal for ordinary people. And those rich people just throw red tickets directly.
It's like Wang Qi, although incense is free here, she still throws a brand new red ticket in. This makes Jiang Aijun feel distressed.
"One hundred yuan. Doesn't this mean that the incense is free!"
"Free is free, and merit is merit. The merit we donate is also to reshape the golden body for the empress."
You can’t discuss belief in gods and Buddhas with middle-aged and elderly women. Although sometimes they don’t necessarily believe in them completely in their hearts, they don’t allow their family members to speak ill of gods and Buddhas from all walks of life. ah.
Wang Qian was very sincere. She paid homage to all the Arhats, Vajras, and Bodhisattvas in the temple one by one, offering incense to each of them and praying for blessings.
It took almost an hour for this circle of incense to burn. He worshiped everyone and knelt down when he met a Bodhisattva. Jiang Aijun felt that his old waist was about to break.
As a Marxist-Leninist fighter who participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and was a staunch atheist, Jiang Aijun never believed in God.
I think back when I first joined the army, I heard that there was a small mountain near the station that was haunted. In the past, that area was a mass grave. According to legend, there was a leprosy epidemic in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the entire village died. Later, it was buried there. Because they all died of illness, those ghosts are very wronged. In the middle of the night, there will be all kinds of terrible cries from that barren mountain.
It is also said that a soldier went into the mountain to cut firewood and never came back. These rumors spread so miraculously that they spread to the head of the regiment later. Some people specifically approached the head of the group and asked if they would like to invite the master to take a look.
The head of the regiment who came down from the Korean War stared with one eye and grinned: "I need to find someone else for this matter? I am the best at handling this matter!"
At that time, the people in the regiment headquarters were all stunned. Didn't they think that the regiment leader is still a hidden Fengshui master? ! This matter spread from the regiment headquarters to the battalion headquarters, and then from the battalion headquarters to the company headquarters, and the handling of the last platoon spread.
The whole group is watching how the group leader will open the altar to catch ghosts three days later.
Three days later, the head of the regiment first fired sixteen 152 howitzers at the haunted barren hill, and sent a tank battalion to crush all the grass and vines, and then the fire-breathing soldiers took the flamethrower and pointed at the hill Head burst into flames.
The last sixteen 152 howitzers fired three bursts at the barren mountain. The entire hill was almost leveled.
There have never been any haunted rumors about this little hill.
A few years ago, Jiang Aijun returned to the old army to participate in a project of "Excellent Veterans Return to the Army". I heard that the small hill that was haunted back then is now full of green trees, and the hill is full of orange trees, which has brought considerable economic benefits to the local people.
As for haunted legends? I don't remember anymore.
However, some old people in the local area still talked about the legendary story that there was a regiment commander in the People's Liberation Army who was so powerful.
Jiang Aijun doesn't believe there are ghosts in this world. If there are ghosts, then there will be a round of 152 cannon howitzers. If there are still, then there will be two more rounds.
Of course, he wouldn't say these things in the Empress Temple, and he might be beaten to death by the crowd if he said them.
Wang Qi had burned all the incense, all the Guanyin and Arhats, and even the Four King Kongs who subdued demons and demons at the entrance.
Jiang Aijun thought he could go home.
"Go home? What are you thinking! We came here to ask for a talisman. By the way, we want to calculate whether the child in Huahua's belly is healthy. We haven't done our business yet." Jiang Aijun was dragged back by Wang Qian.
Jiang Aijun covered his ears: "You hurt me, didn't you worship all the Bodhisattvas just now? Where else are you going?"
"Hey, the temple wishes here are very spiritual. You need to ask for the peace talisman from him." Wang Qian led Jiang Aijun towards a side room set up next to the treasure hall. There are already quite a few people queuing up outside this side room. Looking up at the plaque [Miao Zhu] on the side room, it seems that this is it.
In Miaozhu's room, Zhang Datong was calculating various things for the faithful men and women who came to do the divination. Some are related to marriage, some are related to family, and of course the most are related to maternal health and the life of the baby. There are also many people asking for peace talismans.
Zhang Datong is a returnee with more or less ability. If you say he is very strong, it is not enough, that is, he is on the same level as Lei Jun next door.
But this level is enough for ordinary people. Zhang Datong accepted the birthday horoscopes given by a pair of parents, and then made a safe talisman for their children. This talisman may not be very useful, but it is still useful for children. It can ensure that the baby is not easily frightened, can be at ease, and will not cry suddenly at night due to fear.
Lei Jun, who was next door, listened to Zhang Datong's fortune-telling comments to different pilgrims through a small window, which was indeed different from his own fortune-telling method outside. Zhang Datong seemed much tougher than himself when he spoke. It doesn't matter whether the pilgrims believe it or not.
Of course, Zhang Datong will not hide what he can calculate.
As for whether it can be cracked, Zhang Datong will also tell the truth. For example, just now a big boss who looked very rich came to Zhang Datong with sweat on his forehead, asking for the safety of his house.
As a result, Zhang Datong made a calculation and said that the boss was afraid that his house was in trouble. This is really right, the boss is looking for a solution. Zhang Datong said directly, your house is too fierce, if you can't break it, you should find someone else. Then Zhang Datong directly called the next pilgrim.
"Sure enough, this is different from the outside calculation."
While he was taking notes, Wang Qian and Jiang Aijun walked into the temple blessing room.
Zhang Datong raised his head and asked, "What are you two?"
"Ah, we are praying for the safety of our grandson. This is my grandson's due date. Please make a safety talisman, and then count my grandson's fate."
Wang Qian gave Zhang Datong the birthdays of Zhang Tong, Jiang Hua and their children (due date of delivery) that had been prepared.
Looking at these documents, Zhang Datong asked, "What's the child's name?"
"It's called Zhang Jiang, it's a boy, it's confirmed."
"Okay, then I'll do the math for your child first to see if the delivery is going well."
Zhang Datong picked up the fortune-telling chip on the table and began to shake the counting chip as if he was telling fortunes to other people. As soon as he shook, Lei Junfu, who was taking notes with his head down, felt that something was wrong.
Lei Jun hurriedly looked to the next room, his pupils dilated rapidly the moment he saw Jiang Aijun and Wang Qian. And when he saw the counting chip in Datong's hand, Lei Jun subconsciously shouted: "Datong don't count!"
But Lei Jun yelled a beat later, Zhang Datong took the bucket with spiritual power and shook it three times, and threw the calculation chips in the calculation chip on the table for the last time, and only heard a loud noise when the chips fell off the table .

The pilgrims outside shouted in panic: "Bodhisattva! The statue of the Bodhisattva is cracked! The heads of the eighteen arhats have all fallen off!"
