1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

For the people of Erdaoling Village, this mountain temple was really built before their eyes.

And the opening of the mountain temple is naturally taken very seriously.

If some people were busy with their family work and couldn't spare time when the beam was raised, then today's small opening ceremony of the temple can be said to be the whole village.

It is also because of this that Sunday was chosen, which is also convenient for the people in the village.

"Do you four brothers have any other ideas? After all, this is the first time for us to have such a ceremony." Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything about this." Old Huang said with a smile.

"Besides, we are all here today as pilgrims, and we are satisfied to be able to follow us to burn incense. Anyway, you are often in the village, so you won't have to worry about fulfilling your vows in the future."

"What is the purpose of fulfilling your vows?" Chen Tiezhu asked with some curiosity.

Lao Cao looked at him helplessly, "You said you know acupuncture so well, how come you don't know such a simple thing? Wishes are not made randomly, and incense is not burned randomly."

"Burning incense and making wishes means that you believe in it in your heart. If the wish is fulfilled, you have to pay it back. If you don't pay it back, aren't you kidding?"

"Whether it is making wishes at the graves of your ancestors or worshipping Buddha in the temples on the mountain, it is the same. When we interact with each other, we still have to pay attention to credibility."

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense." Chen Tiezhu laughed.

"It's just that we came out a little early, and we have to wait a little longer. The door of our mountain temple faces east, and we just have to wait for the first ray of sunlight to shine in."

"Is this arrangement okay? I discussed it with the villagers but couldn't figure it out. Ask Xiao Zhou, he is busy with his girlfriend and didn't tell me."

"Brother Chen, today is such an important day, why are you making fun of me?" Zhou Fengxia said helplessly.

"That's right, this master is not that good." Lu Dan also added.

"This guy, now that he has a girlfriend, doesn't even want a master anymore." Chen Tiezhu curled his lips.

"Hey, are you a little nervous too?" Zhou Fengxia asked with a smile.

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes, "How can I not be nervous? This mountain temple is the hope of the villagers. They insisted that I preside over the opening ceremony and let me burn the first incense stick."

"Who else but you? This temple has a great relationship with you." Zhou Fengxia said.

"It's okay if you're not at home, but if you're at home, no one can help. It's not a big deal, go ahead, you can do it."

Chen Tiezhu didn't know what to say, how can you encourage people like this?

"Dad, when do we start playing?"

At this time, Doudou came over with his small team.

For the little guy, today is also a very lively scene, comparable to the Chinese New Year. So the little guy is also very happy.

"We have to wait a little longer. Although it's early in the morning, the sun hasn't come yet." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Don't run around for a while. You still have to help dad pull the silk. It won't work without Doudou. I'm counting on Doudou today."

"Yeah, Doudou can pull it, Doudou is good."

The little guy nodded his head seriously.

"Wow, why are there so many people coming?"

At this time, Zhou Fengxia said something.

The big guys turned their heads and looked over. It was not strange. Many people were riding bicycles. It looked like there were at least 70 or 80 people, a large group.

"I guess these are people from the neighboring villages who heard the news. Anyway, these people are not a big deal." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

He really didn't expect that such a small event would attract so many people.

"Tiezhu, I guess it's about time, let's start. You say a few words and the sun will come out."

At this time, the second master came over.

"Do I need to speak?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

Everyone laughed when they heard him. Just now he said he was nervous, and now it's true.

"How can you not say something about such a big thing? Hurry up and run." Erye said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go." Chen Tiezhu nodded and walked to the front.

As soon as they saw him start to act, the villagers who were waiting here stopped chatting.

"Well, today, let's have a small ceremony here, and Erye insisted that I say a few words about the whole small activity." Chen Tiezhu spoke.

"Actually, I really don't know what to say. We built this mountain temple to have a hope for the future. But we still have to live our lives by ourselves."

"Our village has also changed a lot now. If you want to make money, you have to work hard. And I believe that the people in our village will be able to live a good life in the future."After saying that, Chen Tiezhu looked up and saw that the sun seemed to be shining.

"Doudou, come here with the little confused kid."

Chen Tiezhu waved his hand.

Doudou nodded her head, happily hugged the little confused kid, and came to Chen Tiezhu's side.

"Come with Daddy, let's go pull the silk." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Let's pull the silk."

Doudou was even happier, finally pulling the silk.

He led the little guy to the inside of the mountain temple, where two tablets were placed side by side on the altar, covered with red silk.

Doudou was really good at pulling the silk. After Chen Tiezhu picked her up with the little confused kid, he stretched out his little hand and gently lifted it, and the red silk was picked up.

Chen Tiezhu was very satisfied, and this job was done.

As soon as he walked to the door of the mountain temple with Doudou in his arms, the sunlight outside also hit him directly.

Putting Doudou on the ground, Chen Tiezhu picked up the incense, lit it, bowed respectfully, and then inserted it into the cauldron.

His work was done well today.

"Okay, let's go out." Chen Tiezhu called out.

Doudou nodded his little head, and then he carried Xiao Mihudan and followed Chen Tiezhu out.

Just as he walked to the door, Xiao Mihudan's eyes narrowed when he was hit by the sunlight.

The fluffy tail swung and directly wrapped around Doudou's little arm holding it. The fur was shining under the sunlight.

This scene made many people gasp. It's really that Xiao Mihudan looks so good now.

Seeing this, Lao Huang and the others were very moved. This mountain temple is really suitable for the occasion.

If you say that this mountain temple has been opened today, it will be difficult for incense not to be prosperous in the future.

"Okay, everyone should burn incense if they want to. Just line up. The space inside is not very big after all." Chen Tiezhu said.

He also didn't want to cause too much discussion. Otherwise, he didn't know what the rumor would turn out to be, and it would be difficult for him to live a peaceful life.
