Chapter 195 The Temple of the Beginning

The construction of Xiaolongwan Harbor is in full swing, and Zhao Qi's new house is also in full preparation and is being built.

While both construction sites were busy, the mountain temple on the hillside of Yanggong Mountain also began to be rebuilt. Yang Dayuan Ermazi and others, who have made a lot of money recently, have decided to expand and renovate the mountain temple and at the same time, they also shaped a more majestic mountain statue.

Temples are different from building houses. They cannot be built by one person, but can only rely on donations. Therefore, after Zhao Qi and others issued the initiative, almost no one in the village refused. Those with money donated money, those with goods donated goods, and those with strength give strength. Anyway, this is a god that blesses everyone. Everyone does not want to be behind and be despised by the gods, and then they are sloppy when they bless them.

Ermazi, Ermao, Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu, Zhao Qi, and Liu Taiye have made great money recently, so they donated dozens of qian coins with great wealth. Some other people who helped in Xiaolongwan have donated three or five qian coins to a higher price. Therefore, nearly three hundred qian coins were raised in just two days. Several respected old men in the village volunteered to help take charge. The whole village women, children, young and old were also working together, carrying wood, stones, and carrying mud, sand and lime. In just a few days, several piles of materials were brought to the mountain.

After all the preparations were made, please ask the Taoist priests nearby to see Feng Shui and choose auspicious days, and the sacrifices of chickens and sheep, after the sacrifices of heaven and earth and burning yellow tables, amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, the activity of renovating, expanding, and reshaping the Dharma image of the Yanggongshan Temple in Maowan Village officially kicked off.

June 23rd is the birth of the God of Fire.

Although the mountain god and the fire god are not the same system, they are all Chinese gods born and raised in China. At the beginning of this day, they also want these gods to gather together to start a party and receive some worship and incense from the world together, so as not to squat in their own small temples for too long and be lonely.

Although the Chinese respect God, they are the strangest race in human civilization.

Because the Chinese people do not seem to be pious while respecting God, they all treat them as ancestors. They do not have as many rules as Westerners, nor are they serious, nor are they as crazy as various sects in the Middle East.

The Chinese gods are very secular. They burn a few incense and kowtow a few times, and then all kinds of messy requests come. Whether they are concerned about the gods, they have to chat a few words, bless you to get promoted and make money, bless you to live a hundred years, bless you to have many children and have good luck in gambling, bless you to find a kiln sister to be able to hold on to a stick of incense. As for what scriptures you recite, you will be spared. The gods in the small temples such as the Land and Mountain Gods are illiterate, and they don’t want money, so you will be satisfied if you listen to your chat. If you have more money, you can offer some fruit pastries and put them on the altar to support a few beggars who stay overnight.

Therefore, among the various small temples of mountain gods in China, the poor are never forbidden to come and go, but in the magnificent Buddhist temples built, they are not neatly dressed, and do not give in to incense oil and incense money. The monks in the temple are generally not allowed to enter, and the Buddhist gods usually only bless the rich. The more money you donate, the happier the abbot will be, and the wooden fish can be broken for you.

Generally speaking, the God of China is the God of the poor.

Foreign gods seem to be much more sensible. Foreign monks can recite scriptures, which is also the traditional Chinese cognition that is reliable than local gods, because after giving money, I always feel that I will do things more reliably.

Therefore, if the gods are not effective, packaging is very important.

Therefore, when building the mountain temple this time, Zhao Qi decided to make this mountain temple that blessed him more elegant and look more luxurious. Then he placed a merit box at the entrance. It doesn’t matter whether he comes in or not to put money in. What’s important is that he looks pompous and feels embarrassed to kowtow if he doesn’t throw a few cents into the merit box.

Even Zhao Qi changed the name of this new mountain temple.

It changed to a very elegant and memorable name.

The Temple of the Starting Point.

This is the new name of Yanggong Town Mountain Temple, with a new beginning and a new journey. I hope to bless the whole village of Maowan Village, a new beginning and a new beginning for a happy life.

The plaques and statues of the temple have been asked to be made. After the mountain temple is repaired, it will be presented to everyone in a brand new image.

When the construction of the Mountain Temple began today, more than half a month had passed since Zhao Qi last visited Wu Qian in Yin County.

Chen Ji and Yao Ran had already taken a merchant ship back to Guangzhou.

Xiaolongwan Harbour, which has already been on track, is also undergoing huge changes every day.

Zhao Qi's own house has also been laid and started to build walls.

Overall, after two months of traveling through time, Zhao Qi finally made a huge improvement in his life with his own efforts, and the hearts of the entire Maowan Village have become more cohesive, and the lives of many poor families have also been greatly improved.

When we came here, our neighbors and our family were wearing patched worn clothes. Recently, more and more people were wearing new clothes, and more and more smiles on the faces of the villagers. When they went out, when others heard that they were from Maowan Village, they immediately showed a sense of envy, jealousy and hatred. There were even many people respectfully cursing each other. This also made the people in Maowan Village feel full of face and felt a sincere pride when they talked about their village.

And all these changes were almost all brought by Zhao Qi.

Therefore, no matter men, women, young and old in Maowan Village, they will feel a kind of sincere respect and gratitude when they see Zhao Qi. No matter where Zhao Qi goes, there will be people greeting him and even pulling him to eat and drink water at home.

Many aunts and aunts were even more excited when they saw Zhao Qi. They held Zhao Qi's hand and felt reluctant to let go. They all wanted to be matchmakers to match their niece and niece to Zhao Qi as their wife.

Therefore, during this period, Zhao Qi has become a younger sister-in-law in many families. Some girls will see Zhao Qi blushing and pinch the corners of their clothes and call her brother Xiaoqi. Even when walking on the road, a little girl will suddenly jump out of the roadside to stuff his purse into his arms. Even Xiaomi next door secretly stuffed a purse under the pillow where he was sleeping, and there were two little kids in it.

Zhao Qi took it out at night and almost cried when she saw it, because the only girl who came to the cave that day was Xiaomi. Other girls would not come, and Xiaozhu didn't dare. As for A Lian, she would not hide the game of these children. She usually came directly to comfort Zhao Qi's heart that could not sleep, and gentle and meticulously could melt iron and stone. Therefore, Zhao Qi was soft and soft every morning when he woke up.

Standing in front of the busy mountain temple construction site.

Seeing a group of young men such as Ermazi, Ermao, and Ermao, winter melon, big cow, wearing red cloth around their heads, laughing and joking, holding a hoe that also wrapped in red cloth to start digging for the temple, Zhao Qi's thoughts had also flown out of the sky.

Maowan Village has been too crazy recently, and he feels like he can't stay any longer.

It doesn't matter if you offend a woman. If you offend the little girl in the village, you will probably be unable to sleep in the future. Every day, a young man will throw stones into his window.

"Young Master, go home quickly..."

Just as Zhao Qi took off his shirt and picked up his hoe to help, a boy in his eight or nine years old, wearing a green shirt and a small hat, climbed up from the foot of the mountain panting.

"Lai Fu, what's the matter?" Zhao Qi stopped in confusion.

"Young master, guests are coming to your house. Grandma asked you to go back quickly!" The little boy climbed to the mountain temple and gasped.

"Come...we have no customers at home?" Zhao Qi even more confused.

"Brother Qi, go back. You can't do the digging of trenches and lifting stones, and you can't afford to do it. If you hurt your legs and feet, we can't afford it. Maybe the daughter of a wealthy family has fallen in love with you and ask someone to be a matchmaker..."

"Haha, that's right. Brother Qi has become a son-in-law in several families recently, so it doesn't matter if there are more families!"

"I'm afraid that the granddaughter of the prime minister's family is worthy of who is so unreasonable!"

"It would be better to marry a princess and be a princess!"

"What's the point of marrying a princess? I heard that the prince-in-law cannot be an official, and it is not enough to marry a concubine. If the official finds out if he is walking in the kiln, he is afraid that his legs will be discounted!"

"I'm thinking too much. I heard that the officials themselves are visiting the kilns. Song Huizong Zhao Ji secretly went out of the palace from time to time to meet Li Shishi in the brothel. I heard that the officials in Lin'an often summoned Tang An'an, a famous prostitute in the capital, to go to the palace to serve..."
