Chapter 637: Three sacrifices and four fruits
"Brother Ye doesn't eat it, Xiao Zhuoma, you eat it." Ye Xuan shook his head slowly and put the candy back into the girl's hand, because Ye Xuan knew that this candy seemed simple, but for a girl who rarely ate snacks since she was a child, it was not easy to delicacies.
The big and the small pushed each other, which made the bystanders laugh, and Zhang Qinghe took out a candy and stuffed it into the girl's hand again.
"Okay, I know that you, your girl, remember everything good things, your brother Ye, and Uncle Qinghe will give you another one."
"Thank you, Uncle Qinghe." The little girl hurriedly thanked, then pulled Ye Xuan's big hand and shook it continuously: "Brother Ye, look, Zhuoma has two candies this time, and I will eat them together after I get home."
Innocent, simple and kind, these eight words fully interpret the essence of the little girl, which also made Ye Xuan nod slightly, and his heart, which is as frozen as ever, presents a warm feeling.
"Qinghe, what's wrong with these three animals and four fruits?"
Suddenly, Uncle Zhuo frowned slightly. When he saw the tribute on the altar, he seemed to have discovered something, and then turned around and asked Zhang Qinghe.
"ah?"
After hearing Uncle Zhuo's words, Zhang Qinghe was stunned at first, and then a wry smile appeared on his face and said, "Uncle Zhuo, don't you know what's going on in our Xiaoshi Village?"
"The locust plague two years ago, and the drought last year was a bit better this year. Those three animals are all treasures. If they are really slaughtered, life in our Xiaoshi Village will be even more difficult." Zhang Qinghe said aggrievedly.
"this……?"
Uncle Zhuo's face turned pale. How could he not know Zhang Qinghe's grievances? But if the Buddhist envoy was dissatisfied, he would be afraid that he would definitely punish Xiaoshi Village.
As the conversation between the two fell into Ye Xuan's ears, Ye Xuan looked at the altar and indeed saw that the tributes on the altar were mistresses and some ordinary fruits.
What are three animals and four fruits?
The three animals and four fruits are things that are worshipped. They must be included on major festivals, but these three animals and four fruits are also divided into levels.
The three animals are divided into sizes. The three animals refer to sheep's heads, pig's heads and cow's heads; the three animals refer to chicken's heads, duck's heads and dun's heads.
At this moment, the mistress was placed on the altar, which was also the lowest tribute to sacrificial tribute.
The fourth fruit is not that particular. All mortal fruits such as apples and peaches can serve as the fourth fruit. If you can sacrifice some fruits containing spiritual energy, it would be better.
However, the tributes of the Xiaoshi Village sacrifice are not only the four most common types of fruits, but also the three animals are made of chicken, duck, rabbit, etc. This is indeed a bit shabby.
But as Zhang Qinghe said, Xiaoshi Village suffered disaster for two years, and it can be said that there is no harvest. The cattle are used to plow the land, sheep are used to milk, and pigs can even produce piglets. These are all precious things. If they are really slaughtered, wouldn’t it make Xiaoshi Village even worse?
"Uncle Zhuo doesn't need to worry. Buddhism is compassionate. Although our offerings are made of mistresses, Buddhist envoys will definitely understand the difficulties of our Xiaoshi Village." Zhang Qinghe said with a flattering smile.
"I hope so!" Uncle Zhuo frowned, his words were a little insincere, and a look of worry flashed through his eyes.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a Buddha's name came from outside Xiaoshi Village. A dozen monks were walking into Xiaoshi Village. The leader was about thirty years old, and he was chanting the Buddha's name with his hands folded down.
"The messenger is here, the Buddhist messenger is here."
When these dozen monks entered Xiaoshi Village, the villagers from every household spoke excitedly and even knelt on the ground to worship the monks.
"Amitabha."
He recited the Buddha's name with a low voice: "Where is the head of Xiaoshi Village?"
"Xiaomin Zhang Qinghe, now the village chief of Xiaoshi Village, has seen an envoy." Zhang Qinghe did not dare to be negligent, and quickly ran towards Kuhui, and then knelt at his feet and kowtowed.
Regarding Zhang Qinghe's respectful attitude, Kuhui clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, and a look of satisfaction flashed through his eyes. Although he was a Buddhist envoy, he enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped by mortals.
at this time!
Ye Xuan carried his hands on his back and silently looked at the so-called Buddhist envoy. A faint look passed through his eyes, and then he stopped staring at this person.
Golden elixir stage!
This so-called Buddhist envoy is just a mere Golden Elixir Stage, and he is not even qualified to carry his shoes to Ye Xuan, so it will naturally not arouse Ye Xuan's slight interest.
"Are the three animals and four fruits ready?" Although Kuhui seemed to be smiling kindly, he asked Zhang Qinghe in a condescending manner.
"Accurate...ready."
Zhang Qinghe knelt on the ground, with a strong smile on his face, which also made Kuhui nod and look at the altar.
Suddenly!
When Ku Hui saw the three animals and four fruits on the altar, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her face turned slightly blue. The Buddha's palms with her hands folded down were slowly lowering, and she looked at Zhang Qinghe with a gloomy gaze.
"Is this the three animals and four fruits that you Xiaoshi Village worshipped my Buddha?"
Ku Hui finished speaking this sentence almost word by word, and the momentum of the Jindan period burst out at this moment, which also made Xiaoshi Village, which was originally noisy, instantly quiet.
The thing that Uncle Zhuo worried the most happened. He used such cheap three animals and four fruits to worship the Buddha, which directly made the Buddhist envoy question him, and even caused Zhang Qinghe to have a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, and he kept kowtowing to Kuhui.
"The messenger listened to the explanation of Xiaomin. My Xiaoshi Village has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, and cattle, sheep and other livestock..."
“Bold!”
Before Zhang Qinghe finished speaking, Kuhui glared at him, his voice was as thunderous as thunder, and he said, "My Buddha is compassionate and grateful to the people. You are ungrateful, but instead use such a poor three animals and four fruits to worship my Buddha. This is simply insulting my Buddhist lineage."
"Amitabha!"
As Ku Hui angrily rebuked, dozens of monks behind him recited the Buddha's name high, and the deafening Zen sound rang throughout Xiaoshi Village, which made the villagers of Xiaoshi Village even more frightened and knelt on the ground to pray for forgiveness to the Buddhist envoys.
"The messenger is merciful. We and the common people have always been pious to the Buddha. It is really because our village is too poor. On the next day of worshiping Buddha, our village will definitely make up for today's mistakes. I hope the messenger will be merciful and do not get angry." Zhang Qinghe kept kowtowing, and his forehead was already covered with purple blood, and he even made a statement in a crying voice.
at this time!
Kuhui's face was gloomy and his breath was even colder. However, facing these ignorant mortals, he could not really punish him. Could it be that he would kill the entire village just because of the poor three animals and four fruits?
If he really does this, he will directly ruin the reputation of Buddhism. He, the Buddhist envoy, is over, and this is not the result he wants.
In fact, the so-called three animals and four fruits are just a form of success. I don’t care much about the hardships. It’s just that there are many Buddhist envoys like him in the entire Xiniu Hezhou. These Buddhist envoys also measure the performance of these Buddhist envoys based on the incense money contributed by each village.
Only when the more money is collected incense, will the Buddhist sect give them profound skills and cultivation resources, which is proportional to the money that the Buddhist envoy receives.
Xiaoshi Village now uses the inferior three animals and four fruits for sacrifice. From this, it can be seen that Xiaoshi Village cannot afford any incense money. This can be said to have made Kuhui go for nothing, so Kuhui is so angry.
Although Kuhui was furious, he could not blame these humble mortals for making money for incense, and could only end today's sacrifices and go to the next village quickly.
"The sacrifice begins."
