Chapter 161
Kane went straight to Ho-Oh House in the afternoon.
As you get closer to Ho-Oh Courtyard, there are stalls selling incense sticks one after another along the way.
“Hey, young man, it’s to worship Ho-Oh in the courtyard. Please bring the incense sticks here. The incense in the courtyard is more than twice as much as here,” said a stall owner. Boss stopped Kane directly on the road and said.
“No need.”
Kane bypassed him directly and went to Ho-Oh Yard.
What I want is not a cheap price like you. It is best to meet the abbot of Ho-Oh when entering Ho-Oh Hospital this time.
In the Ho-Oh House, a pure gold Ho-Oh statue is no less than the one in the Slowpoke Temple.
The incense is even more prosperous, and it is indeed the largest temple in Johto.
There is also a merit box in front of the Ho-Oh statue. Two rows of monks are chanting sutras. An elderly Elder is standing next to the merit box, begging for the pilgrims who donate incense money.
Kane walked directly to the Elder and said softly, “Master, how can I meet the abbot.”
The Elder opened his eyelids slightly, Glancing at Kane from the corner of his eye, he said, “Donate 20,000 incense money, you can get the blessing of the abbot’s chanting, and you will be listed on the merit book of this monastery.” Work, I never thought that Kane, a seven- or eight-year-old urchin, could spend so much money.
“Can I swipe my card?” Kane asked,
Elder suddenly opened his eyes, let out all the light, looked at Kane, and said, “Yes, of course, this temple accepts incense donations All kinds of forms.”
Suddenly a big customer came, and Elder didn’t care about those pilgrims who donated small money, and directly led Kane to the great hall.
The abbot’s meditation place is in the main hall behind the great hall. Elder knocked on the door and said, “Abbot Senior Brother, there is a pilgrim here who wants to accept your chanting prayers.”
“Bring him in.”
On hearing the response from inside, Elder took Kane to open the door and entered the lobby. An old monk in the hall knocked on the wooden fish.
“This is our abbot, the abbot, Master Purdue.” Elder introduced .
Kane bowed and said, “Master is polite.”
“This poor monk is begging.” The abbot and the Elder beside Kane winked and saw The Elder nods and walks into the room.
“Please sit down, this poor monk will recite for you in a while.” The abbot seemed to be waiting for something to signal Kane to sit down first.
Soon, the elder just now appeared in front of Kane again, holding a merit book and a credit card machine.
“Donor, just swipe the card for the incense money you want to donate. Ho-Oh will bless you after donating. Not only will you get the chanting and blessing of the current eminent monk, Zen Master Pudu, but your name will also be forever. Stay on the merit book of our Ho-Oh House,” Elder said.
Kane swiped the card happily, and then the abbot filled Kane’s name and some information into the merit book.
A Ping’an blessing is worth a few dollars. After about 20 minutes of chanting, I successfully took away 20,000 yuan. If I didn’t come with a purpose, I wouldn’t Such a boring thing to waste money.
After accepting the “blessing” from the abbot, Kane deliberately made a feeling of being refreshed and refreshed, and said: “Master abbot is indeed a high-ranking monk in the world, after listening to your chanting, the whole person is very It seems to be immortal Normal, I have also heard the chanting of the abbot of the Slowpoke temple, and I don’t feel like this at all, it seems that I have not reached the ability of Master you.”
Kane detailed Observing the reaction of the abbot and which elder, as expected, when he heard the words “Slowpoke Temple”, there was a slight tremor in his face, but it quickly calmed down.
Kane finished speaking, which Elder spoke first: “Kane benefactor, Slowpoke Temple is just a small temple, how can it be on equal terms with the largest Ho-Oh Temple in Johto Region, his abbot The level of chanting in our temple is at most the level of a vigil Disciple, compared with our abbot abbot, it is simply as different as heaven and earth, the difference between dragons and ants.”
Kane nominated and said: “Elder is right. This Slowpoke Temple is a lot worse than Ho-Oh Temple in terms of scale and overall level, but there is a sage in the Slowpoke Temple who became immortal there.”
Listening to Kane’s slightly hesitant tone, the abbot finally spoke up: “Don’t the donors think this statement is ridiculous? The Ho-Oh enshrined in our Ho-Oh House is a symbol of peace, and Ho-Oh’s Some deeds are verified in the history of Johto Alliance, which is the reason why our Ho-Oh Temple can stand upright. Our temple is responsible to every pilgrim, and will not use anything to become immortal. It’s a gimmick to deceive everyone.”
The abbot deliberately belittled the words of the Slowpoke monastery, Kane can already confirm his own thoughts, this is not a master monk, and it is just for his own interests to deliberately damage the ordinary of others It’s just a person. It’s not just a loss here, but even to suppress it. I just gave 20,000 yuan for the purpose. Except myself, I don’t know how many fools send money here every year.
As far as I know, the players who participate in the Johto Alliance every year will come here to give money. The slogan of the temple is naturally that if you come here to donate incense money, you will get the blessing of Ho-Oh, and you will get the ability of Pokémon. Ascension, people who want to achieve good results in the Alliance tournament will come here to donate incense money and offer incense sacrifices.
Such a phenomenon is not uncommon anywhere. When I was on Earth, I also experienced the spectacular scene of overcrowded temples on the eve of the college entrance examination, and I would come to worship incense when seeking career, marriage, service and wealth. , take this as a good sustenance.
I am also very puzzled. Many people complained when they were working, but they were starving and freezing on the mountain for one night in order to get a stigma. I am afraid that I hope Spiritual God can see their piety.
After the abbot finished his remarks, Kane then responded and said, “Master said yes, how can a Pokémon like Slowpoke be a god, only Ho-Oh can It’s True God, the abbot should think of the vast number of pilgrims and pull out those small monasteries that deceive people as soon as possible.”
Kane finished speaking, the abbot sighed and said, “Me too Powerless, I don’t know how many people have received Ho-Oh’s blessing to suffer outside, it’s really a sin.”
Kane thought to himself: “This old monk is also alive and well, at this time He also pretends to be an eminent monk.”
It’s just that he is completely sure now that as long as he catches the handle of the Slowpoke Temple, the Purdue Zen Master will be quick to hide his ears. Pull out this thorn in the flesh.
