There is a Taoist temple in the northwest corner of Liugong City opposite Qiushan Villa, called Zixia Temple.

This Taoist temple was built in the previous dynasty. After the death of the old temple master, almost all the Taoist priests there disappeared. As the years passed, the popularity of the Taoist temple declined, and the Taoist temple became more and more unpopular. The younger people in this city may have never heard of Zi. Xia Guan's name.

All decadence ended with the arrival of the new patron.

The third day of March is the birthday of God Xuantian.

On this day, Zixia Temple was almost completely surrounded, and almost half of the people from Liugong City came here. Inside the temple, there are three sticks of incense in hand, and outside the temple, well-informed vendors have already laid out fresh fruits for breakfast for those who come to burn incense.

Two months ago, no one would have thought that this almost deserted Taoist temple could still bloom with dead trees and welcome so many pilgrims and believers. It is obvious that the Taoist temple is still the same Taoist temple, and there is no way to repair it. At most, it is The leaky roof tiles were replaced with new ones, and the weeds in the temple were pulled out. But in the eyes of the local people, the Zixia Temple with the rising incense and the diffuse sandalwood seemed a bit more sacred than before. .

If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, it will be spiritual if there is a dragon. It is probably because there is a new owner in the Taoist temple.

Mrs. Zhang tightly held the incense she had just lit on the oil lamp stone stand in her hand, and trudged forward among the crowds, in order to put her own incense in the big incense burner in the center of the yard and pray for the safety of her family this year.

There were so many people, but she had no idea of   giving up. Instead, she felt that she had gotten up late, and the gods might be unhappy. She thought that when the incense was finished, she would have to ask for a fortune. It would be best to let the little Taoist priest talk about it. Love, please ask the viewer to personally interpret it for yourself.

It took half an hour for her to finally put in the incense, pray to the gods, and present the tributes. At this time, the sun had already reached high in the sky. The powder on Zhang's face was fumed by the heat, and it became slightly sticky and fell off. There was still a buzz of people around, and many people, like Zhang, had no intention of leaving. On the contrary, they were in high spirits, feeling that they had completed an important and sacred task.

The Zhang family lives in the east of the city, and her husband owns two cloth shops in the city. The family is relatively well off, and the relationship between the couple is good. However, they have always been unsatisfactory when it comes to children. They finally got a son in middle age. The couple regarded their son as a pearl. Who knows? Two months later, the youngest son suddenly fell seriously ill and almost died. The two of them visited countless doctors and burned incense at the famous Jade Buddha Temple in the city, but to no avail. At this time, they heard that a doctor from Zixia Temple came to the hospital. The clever new temple owner, together with the incense of Zixia Temple, also became effective. Zhang's illness was rushed to the doctor, but he couldn't care so much. He hurriedly asked for help. As a result, his son's illness was cured by accident. From then on, Zhang’s monthly supply of sesame oil to the Jade Buddha Temple was all transferred here.

Liugong City is not big. News of the recovery of the young son of the Zhang family spread quickly, and more people came here. Zixia Temple became famous overnight, and soon stood alongside the Jade Buddha Temple, becoming the first place in Liugong City. A great view.

Mrs. Zhang took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She finally squeezed into the side hall, but was told that today the contemporaries would not interpret the lots but would give a sermon in the atrium. Ms. Zhang was illiterate, but out of her blind trust in Cui Guanzhu, she still planned to Go and have a listen.

As soon as she arrived at the atrium, she was startled.

The courtyard was almost full of people, and many stood outside, surrounding the three floors inside and three floors outside. However, there was no big noise. Occasionally, a few people whispered, and they tried to keep their voices down.

Mrs. Zhang saw Cui Guanzhu from a distance.

The other person was sitting cross-legged on the steps under the eaves, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked into the courtyard. Zhang's heart moved when he saw it, and he suddenly thought of the statues of gods in the main hall. They also closed their eyes slightly, gazing compassionately at the sorrows and joys of the world. appearance.

Guanzhu Cui's face seemed much paler than the last time we met, but it might be because he was outside and was exposed to the sun.

Mrs. Zhang often came here to offer incense and vaguely heard from the Taoist boy in the temple that Cui Guanzhu's health seemed not to be well. As for why it's not good, no one can tell, and the Zhang family is a womanly woman, so it's hard to take a closer look.

Say this is a gorgeous dividing line--

inquire about.

Although the distance was a bit far, no one around him spoke, and Guanzhu Cui's voice could reach the ears of most people.

Not fast, not slow, gentle and gentle.

Like a cup of tea that is neither hot nor cold, just enough to hold in your hand, its fragrance lingers in your heart.

Wherever this person is, it's like gods and Buddhas are everywhere.

"What we are going to talk about today is cause and effect." Mrs. Zhang heard Guanzhu Cui say.

Someone present let out a slight sigh, with doubts on their faces.

Guanzhu Cui smiled slightly and continued: "Many people may think that cause and effect is something only Buddhists talk about. In fact, we Taoists also talk about cause and effect. It is said in "Tai Shang Inspiration Chapter" that there is no door to blessings and misfortunes, but people call them by themselves. It means that disasters and blessings are never destined and are related to one's own behavior. This is exactly the same as the Buddhist idea of   planting good causes and obtaining good results. "

Not to mention literate, Mr. Zhang has never even touched a book. On weekdays, the most she can do is go to a tea shop and hear Mr. Shu tell stories about the world. The most troublesome thing is hearing those endless truths.

But at this moment, she didn't know whether it was because so many people were listening together, or because Cui Guanzhu spoke in a very profound and simple way. Not only did she understand it, she didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she felt that her heart was clear and clear.

"Take the Zhang family lady for example."

Her surname caught her ear unexpectedly. Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone had the same surname as her, but when she looked up, she saw Cui Guanzhu walking towards her, and everyone else followed his gaze.

With a bang, her ears turned red. For the first time in her life, she was exposed to many bright eyes, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

"A while ago, Mrs. Zhang's child was seriously ill and almost died. I believe everyone has heard about it. If she hadn't done many good deeds on weekdays and the virtues accumulated by the Zhang family ancestors, how could a disaster be turned into a disaster?"

Zhang never expected that Cui Guanzhu would praise so generously. She was so excited and ashamed at the moment that she couldn't even speak steadily. She said in a trembling voice: "I, my husband and I usually do things based on our hearts. How can I deserve such praise from the Monastery! The child's recovery is all due to the Monastery's superb medical skills. The whole Zhang family is grateful!"

Guanzhu Cui's smile deepened: "It's easy to say that it's easy for someone to act based on his heart. How many people in this world can do it? I will come to Zixia Temple at the right time. If you think about it carefully, it's not like the infinite ancestor Mingming." Guidance in it?"

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, and when they looked at Mrs. Zhang, their eyes changed from doubt to envy.

Zhang's cheeks were red and her heart was filled with excitement. In her entire life, this was the first time she heard someone praise her for her good deeds and virtues. The person who praised her was the owner of a famous Taoist temple in the city. Such a good thing that she was lucky enough to do in three lifetimes, she wished she could do it right away. When she went back to share it with her husband, Mrs. Zhang had even thought about paying more for the sesame oil when she comes to burn incense next month.

Just when her thoughts were far away, Zhang suddenly felt a tingling pain in her sight, as if something gold and silver were reflecting in the sun.

She subconsciously closed her eyes, but what followed was a sound in her ears, like a bird flying by with its wings spread.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but open her eyes again, and saw a gray figure rushing towards Guanzhu Cui on the steps. The long sword in his hand shone, fierce and fast, unstoppable, and he was about to kill Guanzhu Cui with one sword!

In the blink of an eye, the sword edge reached half an inch of his forehead and heart. No matter how fast the Taoist boy next to him was, he would not have time to rush to his rescue. What's more, the incident happened so suddenly that no one could react in an instant.

Cui Guanzhu was hit by the sword wind and could not help but lean back slightly, but his movements were of no help to the assassin. In just a blink of an eye, the sword would pierce his eyebrows and turn the living person into a dead person.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't see any hope of the other party's survival. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream!
