Chapter 258: Going through the Empty Gate"The Buddha Mother in the Buddha Mother Temple is the one who protects people with safety. And because she has a golden face, she also protects people with wealth. How effective!" said the old farmer. The temple where Liaochen lives is called Xinfo Temple, but because the main deity enshrined is Mahakala, it is also called Buddha Mother Temple by people around. "The Buddha's son next to the Buddha Mother is the one who blesses people to have children and ensures that their children are safe." The old farmer added. Wow, I have become the Goddess of Childbirth. Shi Feizhe had a strange look on his face. Haven’t you heard that the black-bodied, golden-faced Mahakala Buddha Goddess blesses people with wealth? In the world, the God of Wealth is the most popular. No matter what kind of god it is, as long as it can claim to bless people to get rich, it will definitely be very popular. Many years ago, the old man said that his master when he was a child relied on turning the gods in the dilapidated temple into the God of Wealth to support him and his apprentice. This shows the power of the God of Wealth! As for becoming a fertility god and blessing my children with safety, it was really unexpected. However, it seems reasonable and easier to understand that Buddha gave birth to a child and blessed a daughter.
"Is it true that Buddha can give you a child?" Shi Feizhe asked. "That must be true!" The old farmer nodded and said, "There's a person in our village who prayed to Buddha for a son and then had a son." "Ha~ I see. This is my first time visiting the Buddha Mother Temple. I'll have to take a good look around and burn some incense later!" Shi Feizhe snorted, making it impossible to understand what he meant. He had indeed never been to the Buddha Mother Temple. It was only when he left that Liaochen had the plan to build the Buddha Mother Temple. "Come to think of it..." The old farmer looked at Shi Feizhe and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, I think you are somewhat similar to the Buddhist disciples in the temple." Of course it is similar, it was made according to Shi Feizhe. If it were a few years ago, it might have been exactly the same. It's just that in the past few years, Shi Feizhe's appearance and temperament have changed a bit, so the old man said there is some similarity. "Is it possible..." Shi Feizhe said dignifiedly: "I am the Buddhist disciple of that temple!" The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Young man, you are really good at joking." “Hahaha~” Shi Feizhe also laughed and said, “You won’t believe it even if I tell you, but the Buddha statue looks like me.” "Ha~ Young man, you are really good at bragging!" The old man shook his head and whispered, "Young man, when we get to the Buddha Mother Temple later, don't say that, or you will upset the Buddha in the temple." "..." Shi Feizhe sighed and said, "Does the Buddha from the Buddha Mother Temple also bully people?" "Look at what you said, there are so many Buddhas who don't bully people!" The old farmer said, "But the Buddhas in the Buddha Mother Temple are much better. Only a few Buddhas have bad tempers and beat and scold people at will." "Most of the Buddhas are good. And most of them are working in the fields. There are not many Buddhas in the temples." "But what is the Buddha of the Buddha Mother Temple thinking? The incense of the Buddha Mother Temple is so popular, why would he go to farm? Farming all year round is the only way for poor people like us to barely survive." The old farmer seemed to be familiar with Shi Feizhe and kept talking. "You guys are paid 80% commission for farming now, so this half bag of wheat must have been saved for a long time." Shi Feizhe said.
"My son is the breadwinner of the family. He can still make a living at home. As for wheat, he just needs to eat one less bite on a regular basis," said the old farmer. "Things will get better and better in the future." Shi Feizhe said with a smile. "Thank you for your good words." said the old farmer. The two chatted about something else, and soon Shi Feizhe heard their stomachs growling. So Shi Feizhe took out his own dry food and ate it, and shared his dry food with the old farmer and the child. The child ate Shi Feizhe's dry food and said it was delicious. "Even if it tastes good, don't eat too much. If you eat too much and drink water, you'll bloat more easily." Shi Feizhe touched his forehead and said, "Have you ever thought about going to school in the future?" "What is school?" the child asked, tilting his head. "You can practice martial arts, gain cognition, learn knowledge, and experience the wonders of the world!" said Shi Feizhe. When the old farmer heard this, he looked at Shi Feizhe warily. This man had said so much along the way, and finally revealed his true colors, trying to kidnap his grandson. "No! I want to farm. Dad works very hard." The child shook his head and said. "Haha~ What a filial child." Shi Feizhe laughed. After eating dry food, they continued to climb the mountain and soon saw Xinfo Temple. Xinfo Temple was built on the site of the original Three Mountains and Seven Courtyards in Kongtong Mountain. The temple gate has four pillars and three doors. The door in the middle represents the gate of emptiness, the door on the left represents the gate of emptiness, and the door on the right represents the gate of no wishes. Entering from the middle door is like entering the "empty door", so the middle door is used by monks in the temple. People like Shi Feizhe and the old farmer usually enter from the two small doors on the side. But Shi Feizhe chose to enter through the middle door. After all, he is the Buddhist disciple designated by the Xin Sect, so it is reasonable for him to enter through the middle door! He even went in through the side door, that's a joke! So, under the old farmer's surprised eyes, Shi Feizhe returned the half bag of wheat on his back to the old farmer, then pushed open the middle door and walked in. "Grandpa, why does he walk so far?" the child asked curiously on the old farmer's back. "I don't know either." The old farmer looked at Shi Feizhe's back and shook his head. Shi Feizhe walked into the Xinfo Temple, crossed the threshold and entered the Heavenly King Hall, and saw Chen standing at the steps in front of the temple, waiting for Shi Feizhe. When Shi Feizhe went up the mountain, Lechen had already sensed the aura of a powerful man. Ordinary people cannot feel it, only a warrior with natural barriers like him can feel it. He is a strong man like a mountain. Fortunately, Lechen felt the kindness emanating from this strong man, so he was not nervous. He was just wondering, could the person coming be the leader of Huang Tiandao? I never thought... "It's you!" He looked at Shi Feizhe in surprise as he came in from the middle door. Of course he remembered Shi Feizhe, and he was deeply impressed by Shi Feizhe! But he didn't expect that Shi Feizhe would be so powerful after not seeing him for many years. Obviously, he was still very weak back then.
Shi Feizhe came up to him and said, "What's wrong? Are you surprised to see that I'm not dead?" "The Buddha's disciple has an extraordinary origin and great blessings, how could he die?" Lechen said in the tone of an honest man. "Hey, how do you know my origin?" Shi Feizhe asked, "Do you know where I come from?" "It's nothing but flattering words. Why should a Buddhist take it seriously?" Liaochen said honestly. "..." I thought you, a bald ass, knew my identity? "When I left that year, this place hadn't been completed yet. Won't you take me on a tour?" Shi Feizhe said as he looked at the temple that looked large but was actually very empty. "How can you call it a visit? The Buddhist disciple has clearly returned home!" Lechen stretched out his hand and said, "Buddhist disciple, please come this way!" Liaochen is indeed an honest monk, he is really honest!
