Chapter 14: Wong Tai Sin Temple

Shen Ziyu sneered in his heart: If the Shen family were so easy to bully, they would have been eaten alive by their opponents over the years, and there would be no bones left. He called his grandfather last night and told him about his encounter with the underworld killer. Without accident, his third uncle put pressure on the Guangzhou Municipal Government that night. According to his uncle's temper, he will take the opportunity to rectify the bureaucracy in Guangzhou and replace it with officials close to him, so as to completely hurt his opponent.

Li Changsheng pointed to the newspaper and said, "There are also commentator articles in this report. The title is: What's wrong with the public security in Guangzhou when the underworld is rampant?"?

Shen Ziyu said in his heart that this is my third uncle's method!

A few days later, the mayor of Guangzhou was prosecuted by the procuratorate for corruption. The government of the Republic of China airborne a minister from Beijing to Guangzhou for governance.

After the weekend, the two began to work. Li Changsheng took Shen Ziyu as a foreign trade merchandiser. They are busy with booking space, checking goods and handling documents every day.

Located in Huadi Village, Guangzhou City, the Wong Tai Sin Temple is one of the famous religious resorts at home and abroad. It has a great impact on southern China and Hong Kong and Macao. In the temple, there are the main hall of Wong Tai Sin,Guandi hall, Doumu hall, God of Wealth hall, Confucius hall and Guanyin hall.

Wong Tai Sin,originally known as Huang Chuping, was born in the Jin Dynasty. According to the Records of Jinhua Mansion, when he was young, he herded sheep on the mountain and met a Taoist in a cave in Jinhua Mountain. He followed the Taoist to learn Taoist Kung Fu. When it was dark, his brother didn't see him go home, so he looked for him everywhere. Several years later, his brother finally saw him outside a cave. His brother asked him, where is your sheep? He pointed to the white stones all over the mountain and said, "Here it is." Then he shouted to the white stones, "Stand up and go home!" The white stones all over the mountain immediately turned into sheep.

Huang Chuping has done many good deeds for the local people. He killed the man-eating tiger and saved many lives with herbs during the epidemic. So the local people built the Temple in Jinhua Mountain to commemorate him. As a result, people who believe in Wong Tai Sin all over the country take Jinhua as the hometown of Wong Tai Sin.

In Huadi Village, there are two lines at the gate of the Wong Tai SinTemple: "Immortal Way is precious, Taoist Kung Fu saves the world."

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist hat, a blue Taoist robe, and a thick beard on his chin entered the hall. He respectfully placed three sticks of incense in the incense burner in front of the statue of the Wong Tai Sin, knelt down three kowtows on the futon, and then left the hall.

The middle-aged Taoist is natural and elegant, and his face is as smooth as jade. Obviously, he is well maintained. He came to the back of the hall from the path on the right side of the hall, passed through a quiet bamboo forest, and several stone huts appeared in front of him.

A teenage Taoist came out of the door of a stone house with a food box. The middle-aged Taoist stopped and waved. The young Taoist ran quickly to bow and said, "Good morning, leader!"

The middle-aged Taoist is the master of the Wong Tai Sin Temple. At this time, instead of being respectful and serious when he incense was in the hall, he smiled and nodded slightly, showing extraordinary bearing. He asked in a low voice, "Have the guests in the room not gone out these days?"

The young Taoist also replied in a low voice: "Yes, they also said that they didn't want anyone to disturb them except for delivering food."

The master said, "OK. Go and tell others not to make noise around here these days."

Before leaving work at noon, Li Changsheng and Shen Ziyu returned from the port to the office. They have gone through the formalities of export commodity inspection at the port all morning. Li Changsheng has just sat down in his seat, and has not had time to drink, The boss's cousin Qu Hong came over and said: "Mr. Li, a major customer of the company comes from France in Europe and wants to purchase a lot of green tea and ginseng. He said that it is not easy to visit China and hopes to visit local religious places in China. He wants to know the beliefs of Chinese people. The boss and the master of the Wong Tai Sin Temple are friends. The boss also donated a lot of money and food to the Wong Tai Sin Temple. The boss asked you to visit the Wong Tai Sin Temple in the afternoon and communicate with the master there. Please ask the master to agree our guests go to visit. We also need to a Taoist to be a guide. "

Li Changsheng sang in Peking Opera and said, "Your order! I understand!" He turned to Shen Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, you can rest in the afternoon. It's a little far away. It's at Liwan Fangcun in the western suburb. I can handle it by myself."

Shen Ziyu is chatting with other employees in the office. When everyone is free to drink tea and chat, Shen Ziyu will be the focus, just like many stars around the moon. He talked and laughed freely in the crowd, like the protagonist on the stage, expressing all kinds of emotions and sorrows incisively and vividly. One of his movements, one of his expressions, even one of his eyes are just right, naturally.

When Shen Ziyu heard Li Changsheng's words, he smiled and said, "I have been with you this morning. You are doing it. I am watching it. I have been resting all the time. I want to go with you this afternoon. I also want to know how to do this business of accompanying customers in the future."

Li Changsheng sighed in his heart that it was a good thing to have a beautiful face like an angel. Because human beings are members of the Appearance Association, it is easier for good-looking people to succeed, to be liked and to make friends, regardless of men and women. But Shen Ziyu is so beautiful, even a man can't help admiring him. When he and Shen Ziyu were together, Li Changsheng often had a strange "illusion": "He was a gorgeous woman, not a handsome young man." He murmured quietly in his heart: Shen Ziyu's name means warm jade. Is he a gentleman like jade? Or lady as jade?

In the afternoon, the two people came to Huadi Village on the bicycles allocated by the company for staff. They parked their bikes at the village entrance and went up the mountain along the road. The Wong Tai Sin Temple is magnificent and large, covering hundreds of acres. There is a blue plaque hanging on the gate, with six big characters written on the gilded words' Red Pine Wong Tai Sin Temple '. There are many mobile vendors and fortune-tellers outside the yellow wall of the temple.

This ancient Taoist temple is not in any famous mountains and rivers, but is very close to downtown. All kinds of noise can be heard.

Li Changsheng sighed: "How can the Taoists in the temple achieve good results when practicing in such a place close to the downtown? Laozi said: Don't let people see the wealth and beauty that cause greed, and people's hearts will remain calm. The temple faces the bustling world every day, and the Taoists can see all kinds of temptations all the time. How can they calm down and understand the Tao?"

Shen Ziyu laughed and said, "Mr. Changsheng is wrong! Have you heard this sentence:" When you practice, you should always meditate, so that you can feel the universe and human body interact with each other. When you practice, you should always observe the world around you, so that you can find the laws of the world. "Laozi warned future generations that you should not only meditate alone, but also practice in social life. Only in this way can the practice be complete. I think the Wong Tai Sin Temple is wonderful here. "

Li Changsheng retorted, "Ziyu, have you read this sentence: "When we learn a certain science, we need to learn more knowledge every day, and accumulate enough knowledge in our brains. When we learn Taoist Kung Fu, we need to reduce the number of ideas in our brains every day. When we know that there are no ideas and desires in our minds, we can succeed by practicing Taoist Kung Fu." Since Taoists need to cultivate Taoist Kung Fu, I would like them to live in the deep mountains and forests and stay away from the bustling worldly temptations. "

Shen Ziyu's heart jumped for some reason, and he was a little flustered. Then he calmed down and said with disapproval: "A real man should hold a three-foot sword and make outstanding contributions. He must be famous when he is alive and dead. Such a life is meaningful. A man hiding in a remote mountain, even if he lives to be a hundred years old through breathing and Taoist Kung Fu, what is the meaning of life?

Li Changsheng said nothing but smiled. He thought to himself that Shen Ziyu was young and rich, talented and had an extraordinary family background. It was normal for him to have the idea of making contributions to the world. Seeing Li Changsheng speechless, Shen Ziyu finally sighed with relief. She stared at Li Changsheng's face with two black jewel-like eyes, as if to find something? After Li Changsheng felt uncomfortable for a while, he suddenly understood: "Ziyu, aren't you worried about me becoming a Taoist?"

Shen Ziyu blushed a little. He immediately covered it up and joked: "If Mr. Changsheng wears a Taoist robe and has a long beard, you must look like a man who has become immortal. I am worried in the daytime and sleepless at night recently. Come here, Taoist Priest Li, can you calculate a divination for me? Draw a charm to dispel evil?"

Li Changsheng felt his chin with his hand and imagined there was a long beard. Then he said with a reserved expression: "No problem! I can grant your request. But I will give you ten gold coins for fortune telling. Please pay me first."

While they were making fun of each other, an old Taoist with white hair and beard came out of the gate of the Wong Tai Sin Temple. As the old Taoist walked past the two, he murmured casually: "The wisest people will immediately follow the wisdom of Taoism when they hear it. The moderately intelligent people feel very profound and incomprehensible when they hear it. The ordinary people will laugh when they hear it, and feel ridiculous."
