The Local Lazy Man System

Chapter 280 Lighting

"Come on, let's go to incense."

Ye Rongrong smiled and led the three daughters to the temple above.

"Remember not to hit the threshold, be sure to step over."

Walking to the door of the temple, Ye Rongrong solemnly explained. You can't step on the threshold to go to the temple to offer incense, otherwise it will be unlucky.

You have to take big strides across it, which is what people call "crossing the threshold", which means that you have crossed a threshold in life.

Once you step on the threshold, or touch the threshold, it means that there will be an extra threshold in your life, which is very unlucky.

"Brother Glory, we are not children, we know this truth." Ma Lin said. After all, you can’t touch the threshold when you go to a temple. Young people in modern times still know this truth.

After all, young people now often travel with tour groups, and the places to visit in China are inseparable from the temples. The tour guides will explain the reason that the gates of the temples cannot touch the threshold.

Entering the temple, there were many people inside, and there were at least hundreds of people in a small temple. Ye Rongrong led the three daughters to the place to buy incense sticks.

Every year, the business of buying incense sticks in large temples is the best, and it is not a big problem to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a night.

There are two kinds of incense sticks bought in this temple in Yanshan Village, one is 50 yuan, the other is 30 yuan, and there are six red candles, ten incense sticks, and a talisman. The difference between fifty and thirty incense sticks is that the red candle of fifty incense sticks is larger, and the rest are exactly the same.

If it is based on the cost price, it will not exceed ten yuan, but tonight, no one will bargain in the temple, and no one will think it is expensive.

After all, today is to offer incense to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and everyone is sincere. Who would think that this incense stick is too expensive? Does that mean that my sincerity is insufficient?

When buying incense sticks in a temple, you can't say "buy", you have to say "please".

"Wait here, I'll go in and ask for the incense stick."

Ye Rongrong saw that the place to buy incense sticks was crowded with people. He explained to Liu Qingqing's three daughters. After all, the three girls are so beautiful, and with so many people crowding around, it's easy for some caring people to take advantage.

Whoever puts on incense must pay for the incense by himself, and generally cannot let others pay for it. Ye Shuting had already explained this matter to the three women before entering the temple, so Ye Shuting and the three women had already paid Ye Shuting the money for the incense.

So it doesn't count as Ye Rongyao's payment, but it doesn't matter.

"Give me four sets of thirty-dollar incense sticks."

Ye Rongrong handed over two hundred yuan and said to the incense stick seller. Those who sell incense sticks. It's all related, otherwise it wouldn't be their turn to sell incense sticks, but no matter how much income, half of it is going to the temple, and the rest is divided between individuals and the Yanshan Village Committee. As for how to divide it, Ye Rongrong doesn't know .

Soon, Ye Rongrong took over four boxes of incense sticks, each of which contained six red candles, ten incense sticks, and a talisman. This is put away by a special person, and there will be no less. Of course, after taking it, everyone will check it again. After all, it is not good to have less.

"Okay, one box per person."

Ye Rongrong smiled and said to the three women standing behind him.

"Husband, how do you do this?"

Liu Qingqing asked. But Liu Qingqing has never offered incense in the New Year, and saw that there were red candles, incense and spells in the box again. Don't know how to do it at all.

"This is very simple, you follow me, you can do whatever I do," Ye Rongrong said.

Ye Rongyao started at the age of eighteen. Every New Year, I go to the temple with my father to make a wish and offer incense. This process is quite familiar.

"Um."

The three women nodded and replied, after all, it was Ye Shuting's first time to offer incense at the temple in the New Year, so she didn't know what to do.

"Let's clean our hands first." Ye Rongrong said to the three daughters.

"What is 'clean hands'?" Liu Qingqing asked curiously.

"It means washing hands."

Ye Rongrong explained. Washing your hands before incense is mainly to express your sincerity and to cleanse your heart from the world.

"Oh."

Liu Qingqing replied. Liu Qingqing knew that he had to wash his hands when he went to the temple to offer incense. But I don't know this hand washing, there is also a professional term called "clean hands"

On a table next to the temple, there is a washbasin, and the washbasin contains the clean water of this basin. Everyone washes their hands here before offering incense, and it is not considered to be washing hands. Just soaking your hands in water is enough to show that you have washed away the dust.

After Ye Rongyao washed his hands in the basin, he picked up the towel on the side to dry his hands. Liu Qingqing's three daughters also followed Ye Rongyao's movements and did it again.

"Brother Glory, what should I do next?" Ma Lin asked.

"Light this talisman, and before the talisman burns out, go around your body, just like I did."

Ye Rongyao took out the spell in the box, lit it with the flame of the candle on the table, and quickly circled around his body with his left hand, and let it burn out naturally.

"Brother Glory, what is this for?" Ma Lin asked curiously.

"This spell is used to burn all the unclean and ominous things on my body." Ye Rongrong explained to the three daughters.

"This way, I can burn all the unclean and ominous things on my body?" Ma Lin asked in disbelief.

"In the words of the Buddhist scriptures, there are believers, and there are no believers. You should do what I just did." Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

After the three women burned the spell around their body in the same way as they had just done, Ye Rongrong took the three women to the outside of the house. There were three light stands in front of the temple, which were specially used for good men and women to light the lights.

The light stand is divided into five layers. The bottom layer has the largest diameter. The more needle points that can be inserted into the candle, the smaller the diameter is as it goes up, and the fewer needle points that can be inserted into the candle.

Buddhism attaches great importance to "offering", lighting a lamp is a kind of offering, belonging to "lamp offering", which is one of the ten kinds of offerings in Buddhism. It is said in Buddhist scriptures that lighting a lamp can get many good rewards, so lighting a lamp has become a Buddhist custom.

In Buddhism, the "lamp" is the symbol of light and wisdom, and lighting the lamp for Buddha means the infinite wisdom and magic power of the Buddha.

Ye Rongyao took the three daughters to the light stand on the left. There were many people lighting the lights at this time, and the needles on the light stand were definitely not enough, so the temple arranged for someone to turn off the lights. Someone turned off your light with a small hammer and took it off.

This completely lost everyone's meaning of lighting the lights. It is reasonable to wait for the lights to go out naturally. However, there are so many people lighting the lights in the temple tonight, and they don't turn off the lights immediately.

"Follow me. On this light stand, let's light two lights."

Ye Rongyao said to the three women, then took out a candle and lit it with a candle that was already lit on the lamp stand. After the candle was on fire, he found an empty needle tip and inserted the candle into it.

The second candle was also inserted in the same way as the first candle, except that when Ye Glory inserted the second candle, the first candle was extinguished and remained on the ground.

But now everyone is like this, and they can only shake their heads helplessly. Anyway, the people who do this kind of turn off other people's lights are the people in the temple.
