C856 A Clay Sculpture

"Dude, did you buy your raincoat or something? There's rain on the mountain. Oh right, there's also the mountain-climbing staff. The mountain-climbing staff can support you when you go down the mountain. If you don't buy it, the mountain will be expensive."

The lean driver chatted along the way. After passing an intersection, he suddenly stopped and asked.

"I didn't buy it. There's still rain?"

Daolord Shen blinked. He had indeed made insufficient preparations for this trip. He turned on his phone to take a look. It had indeed rained for the past few hours. It would indeed be very troublesome if it was completely drenched halfway up the mountain.

"Look, you need to prepare properly for your trip! In that case, there's a small store nearby that specializes in selling mountain climbing items. I'll take you there on the way! "

The lean driver saw the young man's childish face from the rearview mirror and an unnoticeable smile appeared on his face. This kind of university student was spoiled since childhood and did not know how sinister people's hearts were. If he really wanted to trick him, he could trick him into going to the grassland to herd sheep!

"Alright. Thank you, big brother!"

Daolord Shen nodded. It was easy for him to trust others to begin with, and with the enthusiastic assistance of the driver, he was able to quickly put down his guard.

"We're here. Hurry up and return."

"Alright, alright..."

There happened to be a small shop by the roadside. The owner was a slightly plump man who looked to be in his forties. He was bald.

When he saw the customer, he stood up and asked, "Climb Mt. Tai? Buy a mountain climbing staff and a raincoat?"

"How much is a mountain climbing staff?"

"Ten yuan, and ten yuan for a raincoat. Choose one!"

"It's already dark when we go up the mountain at this time. Why don't you buy another torchlight! The flashlight is also ten yuan. I'll give you another bottle of water. You also need to prepare more water for climbing mountains and rivers. When these things reach the mountains, they won't sell for less than fifty yuan."

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

Daolord Shen quickly picked up his raincoat and mountain-climbing staff, then returned to the taxi with a miniature flashlight. Comparing the price of fifty dollars on the mountain, he felt as though he had made a huge profit. He found the driver even more pleasing to the eye.

Driver: "Handsome, did you come to Mount Tai this time to see Grandma's Temple? Our Grandma's Temple is very spiritual. Please bless the residents here. "

Daolord Shen: "Granny's Temple? I've never heard of it before! I'm just here to climb Mount Tai. "

Driver: "No way? Isn't it a waste to come to Mount Tai without going to Grandma's Temple? Let me tell you, you and Grandma's Temple are really fated. Today is Grandma's birthday. Think about it, it's the annual grand day! "

" Really? It's strange. I rarely go out since I was young, but recently, I don't know why, but I suddenly want to come to Mount Tai... "

Daolord Shen frowned. Like most people, he didn't have any special beliefs. Compared to the so-called gods, he believed in the loyalty and loyalty that China had passed down for five thousand years. However, upon hearing the driver's words, he was somewhat skeptical. The reason he went out this time was to find the 'path' in his heart. Could it be related to this grandma's temple?

"Hi! Isn't that the end? Let me tell you, fate is a very mysterious thing. It just so happens that Grandma's temple is so spiritual. Listen to me. Go to the temple and offer incense, bless your career and love smoothly. It's not like Grandma's temple is too far away from the red door. "

"I'll just take you there for free. You'll have to walk another two kilometers before you can turn around. But since you're already fated with Grandma, this is a small matter."

The lean driver had always been enthusiastic. When he reached the red door, he didn't stop but went towards Grandma's temple.

"Alright! Then I'll have to trouble you. If it wasn't for you, I really wouldn't know about these things."

Daolord Shen nodded once more. Although he had a nagging feeling that something wasn't right, he couldn't say it for a moment. There was a saying that said 'there is Buddha in one's heart'. It seemed that everything was Buddha. He had never doubted the character of his driver.

After arriving at his destination, he paid the money and got off the car. He discovered that there was indeed a magnificent temple in front of him. There was someone at the entrance who welcomed him and led him all the way to the front of the golden statue.

"This is the God of Granny's Temple. Recently, the upper echelons haven't advocated for open fire, so we've changed to this type of electronic incense. How many plates do you plan to burn?"

The staff took out a plate of incense from the compartment and showed it to Daolord Shen.

"This... how many plates do you usually burn? Daolord Shen asked. How much for a plate? "2

Daolord Shen looked at the unfamiliar surroundings around him, and was rather reserved. He truly didn't know much about this. He had indeed made a request this time around, but perhaps even gods wouldn't be able to give him guidance on the Dao in his heart.

"There are people who burn six plates, nine plates. Of course, there are double digits. There are sixty-six plates, and there are also many people who burn ninety-nine plates."

"A plate of incense costs a hundred dollars."

The staff patiently explained. He would encounter situations like this many times a day. The leader had specifically requested his service, so there would not be any mistakes.

... ""

Daolord Shen was stunned. Good fellow. He had burnt ninety-nine plates in one go, and he was so rich. So, his 360,000 yuan rent could only be ordered three hundred and sixty sticks of incense in total?

"This... I'm still a student... I don't know..."

"Oh, it's fine. Please do as you wish."

The staff member nodded, put down the incense, and left without saying anything else.

Daolord Shen looked at the empty temple and the silent clay sculpture beside him. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of sorrow.

"The so-called gods are only clay sculptures? The people of this world have racked their brains to make use of you to earn money. Do you know all of this? "

...

After arriving at the red door, they arrived at the starting point of the mountain path. The mountain path was rugged and long, and there were many shops along the street on both sides. The sound of the shop owners hawking came in an endless stream.

"Raincoat, Raincoat, did the handsome guy bring a raincoat? It's not easy to avoid the rain on the mountain!"

"How much is it?"

"Two yuan per set," said Wang Yao.

"Oh," Wang Yao said.

Daolord Shen nodded, then tossed the distracting thoughts to the back of his mind and continued on his way up the mountain.

In this world, there are only swindlers who are truly sincere to you, because he is truly lying to you.
