The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Then the man beating the gong was heard shouting, "A strange sign has fallen from the sky. The fate of the Dalang nation has come to an end. It will be destroyed."

Everyone rushed to ask, "What's the vision?"

The man beating the gong pointed to the starry sky in the north and said, "The falling of stars means that one dynasty is about to end and another is about to begin."

Everyone looked towards the sky in the north, and every once in a while a star would fall.

At this time, the people were cursing all sorts of things: "It's right, look at the 128 crimes of the emperor, he should have destroyed the country long ago."

"The dog emperor only knows how to plunder the people's wealth and enjoy himself. He deserves the demise of his country."

"Yes, the country should have been destroyed long ago. If it had been destroyed, no one would suck our fat and knock out our marrow and exploit our people. Dalang would definitely be destroyed."

"Dalang will surely perish! Dalang will surely perish..."

In less than a cup of tea, all the people in Fengying City stood outside, facing north, looking up at the sky and cursing. Everyone's emotions were very intense and excited.

At this time, Cheng Youning began to jump up and down in the mansion. He ran to Shang Xi's room and shook the sleeping Shang Xi's arm: "Madam, get up quickly, get up quickly."

Shang Xi, who had been sleeping for a while, was disturbed by Cheng Youning and turned over and sat up, "What happened?"

"Mom, there are stars falling, let's go and see."

"Oh, what's so good about that? It's already so late. Go back to your room and sleep." Shang Xi lay down again.

"Mother, there really are stars falling, and everyone in the mansion is watching."

Shang Xi turned over and picked up the pocket watch on the bedside table and took a look: "Son, it's midnight now. Who can be idle standing outside to watch the shooting stars? We have to get up early tomorrow. Besides, if a star really falls, it will only take a moment. By the time mom and you go out, the falling star will have disappeared long ago."

Cheng Youning was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "No, no, there are many stars falling, one after another. I heard from my grandfather Ge during the day that many stars will fall tonight."

Shang Xi was about to say that this was a meteor shower, but she saw her door opened again. The person who came in was Yuhua, who looked even more excited than Cheng Youning. "Shang Xi, go out and take a look. There are many falling stars in the sky in the north. This time, the luck of Dalang Kingdom has run out. Is it going to be destroyed?"

"Who said this?"

"Oh, that's what they say. What are you still doing lying in bed? Hurry up and get up and take a look. This is a sign from heaven, foretelling the end of one dynasty and the rise of another."

Shang Xi wanted to ask who spread the rumor, but she swallowed the words. She suspected that Ge Dongqing spread the rumor. Why did they pray tomorrow? It must be because Huang Chenming observed the sky at night and knew that there would be a meteor shower tonight.

Shang Xi couldn't just lie there anymore, so she turned over, put on her clothes, and followed Yuhua out.

As expected, the servants and maids in the mansion were all watching the meteor shower in the yard. Wan Lianxing in another yard was also pulled out by Ge Dongqing.

Wan Lianxing was also surprised when he saw this, "Why are there so many stars falling?"

Ge Dongqing smiled and said, "Brother, this Huang Chenming is really amazing. He can predict everything, including this strange phenomenon."

"You guys went out to spread rumors?"

"Brother, you must seize this good opportunity. It is no accident that you have come to this point today. It is God's help."

"..."

On the second day, before the beginning of the twelfth hour, the altar for sacrifice was already full of people. The entire altar was surrounded by people, because on the altar sat the highly respected Master Daoqing and five hundred senior monks.

At this time, Master Daoqing was there preaching and spreading Buddhism.

Ten feet high incense was burning in the incense burner on the altar, and the entire altar was filled with a strong smell of incense.

It is unknown when the people of Fengying started to worship Buddha and burn incense. It may be that in the first month of that year, Wan Lianxing invited Master Daoqing from Lingchen Temple to hold a seven-day Dharma Assembly in Lingchen Temple. He also generously raised funds for Lingchen Temple and provided vegetarian meals for the people in Lingchen Temple for seven days.

Perhaps faith began to sprout at that time.

Later, under Huang Chenming's suggestion, Wan Lianxing renovated the Lingchen Temple and built a temple in Mochun County. As long as Wan Lianxing took the lead, the people would think it was right and would strongly support it. So they believed in Buddhism, Master Daoqing, and Wan Lianxing even more.

When the seldom seen Master Daoqing was giving lectures, everyone became devout believers, listening to his lectures and sermons attentively and practicing with great concentration. It was hard to tell whether they understood or not, but they looked very sincere.

Shang Xi and the women in the mansion were also pulled here by Cheng Youning early on, and she was also part of the crowd.

Cheng Youning is small and his vision is obstructed, so he and Qiao Rong each prepared a small stool in advance.

Cheng Youning, who was standing on a stool, said, "There are too many delicious foods up there, right? Can I go up and get some?"

Qiao Rong said seriously: "When people can no longer be human, they are all eaten by the gods."

"With so many delicious foods, I can have a bite, right?" Cheng Youning's greedy mouth moved.

Qiao Rong shook his head at Cheng Youning and said, "Don't blaspheme the gods. If you want to eat it, we can go to the street to buy it."

Cheng Youning said, "Everyone is here, where can we buy it?"

Qiao Rong said: "You can have vegetarian food. I heard that Lingchen Temple has free vegetarian food today."

"It's okay to have a vegetarian meal. I haven't had a vegetarian meal for a long time. Mom, are you going to have a vegetarian meal later?"

Shang Xi said, "Go ahead. Your grandpa organized this event, so we should definitely attend. But there will probably be a lot of people there, so I don't know if we can get any."

Cheng Youning stood taller than Shang Xi. He put his arm around Shang Xi's neck and said, "Mom, why are there so many monks here?"

Shang Xi said: "There are many believers, so there are many monks who have become monks. I heard that the five hundred monks mentioned above all came from Lingchen Temple."

"But I've been to Lingchen Temple, and there don't seem to be so many monks there."

"This Fengying County is developing rapidly under the governance of your young grandfather, and the same is true for Lingchen Temple. Such a large temple should have many disciples. After all, Lingchen Temple is very popular, and people come to worship constantly."

At this time, Yuhua said, "I heard that worshipping Buddha at Lingchen Temple is particularly effective. Why don't we go there to draw lots and make a wish today?"

Shang Xi immediately shook his head: "You can worship Buddha and eat vegetarian food, but if you want to ask for divination, I won't accompany you."

"why?"

"I went to temples with you twice. The first time was the Guanyin Temple you mentioned for seeking children, and the second time was the Wudeng Temple you mentioned. Both times you arranged it, and the results were terrible. Have you forgotten?"

Yuhua said in annoyance, "You said I am the same. I run into trouble when I go to the temple. I won't go with you guys later."
