The ancient Buddhist temple was located on a mountain peak. It was a steep mountain path, but the people who came to this temple were colorful and endless.
The reason why the ancient temple was so popular was that it was easy to make a wish come true in this temple.
Let me give you a few examples. Once upon a time, there was a high official who was demoted to this place to be the leader. He was originally a high-ranking official in Yanjing, but he came to this barren land to be a local emperor. On the surface, he had great power, but in reality, his value was low.
This person was a bit of a Buddhist. When he heard that making a wish here was very effective, he couldn't help but have an idea and came over.
When they came, they only brought the driver with them. The two of them were dressed plainly, like farmers. Because they heard that if one wanted to fulfill their wishes, one had to be sincere, so the two of them walked from the foot of the mountain to the temple without a trace of distracting thoughts.
When they arrived at the temple and saw the Buddha, they were so shocked that they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times. After burning a few incense sticks, they left.
Then, a week later, a road to the mountain was built in this place. The funds were all funded by the government.
Then, something strange happened. In less than a year, this leader, who was originally demoted, was recalled to Beijing and his career took another step forward.
Now, this person was already a famous person in politics.
What if this was a coincidence? Then, what happened next had to be believed.
There was a rich man who gave birth to two daughters. When he was pregnant with his third child, he secretly spent a lot of money to go to the hospital for a check-up. In the end, the doctor told him that it was a girl.
The rich man only wanted a son. When he saw that the third child was a daughter, he was determined to abort it.
The rich man's wife also wanted a boy. However, if they continued to give birth, they would have to face a huge fine for the next child.
For this reason, the couple discussed again whether they should abort it.
In the end, after making a decision, he decided to abort it. But when everything was ready, the doctor told the rich man. This was because the rich man's wife had previously given birth to a child and had suffered injuries. If she aborted the child, there was a high risk that she would not be able to get pregnant.
This time, the two of them were in a difficult position.
The two of them had suffered together. Even if the rich were rich, they would never think of finding a mistress. They had been husband and wife for many years. How could they let their wife suffer?
For this reason, the rich man was prepared to give birth. So be it.
At this moment, a rich man's good friend recommended this temple. The skeptical rich man drove over with his wife and kowtowed a few times in front of Buddha to give him some money.
In the end, after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a boy.
It could be said that there were countless examples like this. Some were made up, but most of them were true.
As such, how could this temple not be popular?
Not only was the temple popular, but the master in the temple was also popular.
In the ancient Buddhist temple, there was a master who was said to be 174 years old. Although he was old, his skin was like a baby's. It was fair and red, and he did not look like a long-lived person at all. Those who did not know better would think that he was a person in his sixties.
However, many elders near the temple had said that this master was already very old when they were young. When they were old, this master would still be like this.
This attracted the attention of many people.
What was more, if anything strange happened in the village, or if a child from a neighboring village seemed to be possessed, they just had to stay in the temple for a day. If they were lucky enough to meet this master, they would let the master rub their heads, and everything would be fine.
All kinds of strange and supernatural things added an extremely mysterious color to this ancient temple.
Today, the sky was slightly bright. In the temple, an old man walked out of an ordinary meditation room.
When the old man came out, all the monks in the temple were shocked. They gathered together and bowed.
The old man put his palms together. He didn't care about these people's actions and only said a sentence indifferently.
"Bring me the temple protection magic tools, Canaan Kasaya, and Thunder Sound Zen Staff. I want to burn incense and bathe to welcome the distinguished guests. Today, all monks are not allowed to eat. I've ordered the back room to prepare a Buddhist feast!”
After he said this, the twenty monks present were all moved.
However, no one dared to question this old man. They all chanted Amitabha and then began to do as they were instructed.
However, they still couldn't help but discuss it softly.
"What kind of distinguished guest has come today that is worthy of our old abbot mobilizing such a large number of people?”
"I remember that when a certain top figure from China came to visit the temple, the abbot only received him for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. At that time, he didn't even burn incense or bathe, let alone take a magic tool.”
"Amitabha, I don't know about this, and you don't know, so don't speak nonsense!”
While they were discussing, an elderly monk directly cut off their communication. Then, these people lowered their heads and began to do their own things.
If someone who knew Buddhist rites heard this, they would definitely exclaim.
He put on his kasaya, took out his magic tools, bathed his body, and set up a Buddhist banquet.
In Buddhism, this was the etiquette to welcome a true Buddha. Normally, regardless of whether it was a person with monstrous power or a wealth that could rival a country, when they came to a temple, it was already the greatest etiquette for the abbot to burn incense and bathe.
Even if the Chinese leaders came, they would not be able to receive such a big gift from Buddhism. This was because this ritual was only performed on true Buddhas.
