Fang Zheng naturally understood what Wang Yougui was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Donor, the poor monk knows this matter well. At least it gives him peace of mind. It's okay. It's just that this road..."
"This road... don't worry, I will take care of it for you. The reason why the county built the road this time is mainly because the crew of "Allure" came to our village a while ago and praised Yizhishan Mountain when they left.
I guess the people above also think that if "Allure" is released, it will definitely be a big hit. By then, Yizhishan will take the opportunity to gain popularity and hype, not to mention becoming a big scenic spot, but it will be no problem to become a small scenic spot. So this is considered the early stage.
Investment, your mountain road should also be within their planning scope. I asked you to take the money just to tease you, but I didn’t expect it, hey..." Wang Yougui could only smile bitterly.
Fangzheng was stunned. He didn't expect that the crew of "Allure" would bring him such great benefits. This was unexpected. But think about it, with such a large crew and filming a blockbuster, once it is released, if it causes
Sensational, this mountain will definitely become famous. By then, the incense in the temple will definitely become more and more prosperous. The more people come, the more people can be helped. By then, the merits will not be huge.
earn?
Fang Zheng suddenly burst into laughter.
Wang Yougui chatted with Fang Zheng for a while. Seeing that this heartless young monk didn't take half a million seriously, he didn't say anything. He hung up the phone and hurried to find Tan Juguo and Yang Ping.
Discussing road construction.
Time passed quickly, and as each day passed, the number of pilgrims began to increase, and there were more and more incense in the Yizhi Temple. Fang Zheng stood under the bodhi tree every day, greeting and seeing off pilgrims.
But on this day, Fang Zheng got up extremely early, and it was pitch black outside.
Opening the door of the Zen room, Lone Wolf immediately ran out of the den. As the first protector of the temple, Lone Wolf is usually lazy, but he is still a good housekeeper. When he saw that it was Fangzheng Lone Wolf, he shook his head and came together.
He came up and rubbed his big head twice on the square trouser legs.
Fang Zheng went to clean the Buddhist hall as usual. When the monkey saw that Fang Zheng was up, he was not lazy and ran out with a broom to sweep the floor. During these days, he swept the floor, swept the fallen leaves, and listened to the scriptures every day, which really changed his impatience a lot.
The squirrels also diligently helped clean up cobwebs, dust and other things on the beams.
After finishing the work, it was daybreak. Fangzheng cooked a pot, and one person and three animals had breakfast. Fangzheng went down the mountain. This time, he did not let the lone wolf and the squirrel follow. The temple is now gradually becoming more popular, and it cannot be left unattended.
.The lone wolf has the strongest combat power, while the squirrel is careful and vigilant, making it the best choice for guarding the home.
As for the monkey, Fang Zheng took him with him. Compared to the lone wolf and the squirrel, the monkey has the highest understanding of Buddhism. The shortcoming is that the monkey has a lively and active personality and does not understand the rules. But the monkey can travel thousands of miles to seek Buddha, which has shown
His original intention was to worship the Buddha. So when Fang Zheng had the opportunity, he would talk about scriptures with the monkey. Fang Zheng never thought of eradicating all the monkey’s habits, he just wanted him to understand what should and shouldn’t be done.
.
All the way down the mountain, the monkey became very curious and asked: "Abbot, where are we going? What are we doing?"
"Tomorrow is Qingming Festival. In the human world, Qingming Festival is a day for worshiping ancestors. Everyone is born and raised by parents. Without parents, how can we grow up? People must learn to be grateful. Even if their parents are gone,
We also need to offer sacrifices. Today we went down the mountain to beg for alms, and we will bring back some things to worship our ancestors tomorrow," Fang Zheng said.
Although as a monk, making sacrifices does not have to be so troublesome. You only need to silently recite a few prayers for your ancestors every time you worship the Buddha and chant sutras. But Fangzheng grew up in the village after all, and he is a Zen master.
They also attach great importance to these traditional customs, and they have always been this way.
Now that Zen Master Yizhi is no longer around, Fang Zheng has no intention of changing this habit.
The monkey scratched his head. Although he still couldn't understand everything, it was right to try to write it down.
By the time Fang Zheng came down the mountain, the villagers at the foot of the mountain had already lit up their chimneys and started cooking. Some of them had gotten up early and had already eaten breakfast and came out one after another.
As soon as Fang Zheng got off the mountain, he was seen by someone. Someone immediately greeted Fang Zheng: "Master Fang Zheng, are you going down the mountain to beg for alms?"
Fang Zheng announced a Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, tomorrow is the Tomb-Sweeping Day, and this poor monk is here to ask for alms."
"Hey, I knew it. Wait a minute, I'll get some paper money." The person who spoke was named Sun Qiancheng. He had a promising name, but he didn't get along very well, but he was very enthusiastic.
"Thank you so much, donor." Fang Zheng saluted quickly.
Sun Qiancheng laughed loudly and said, "Look at how polite you are, it gave me goosebumps all over my body." While laughing, Sun Qiancheng returned to the yard, went to the lower room, and soon took a plate of firecrackers, and a
He handed over a large plastic bag filled with incense and a bunch of hemp paper, and said with a smile: "I prepared it the day before yesterday, Master Fangzheng, take a look, is it enough?"
Fang Zheng greeted him and said, "Thank you, donor. There is no need for firecrackers. Incense and hemp money paper are enough." Although there are countless incense in the temple that can be used, this time Fang Zheng only wanted to use the incense obtained through alms.
The respect of a Zen master.
Sun Qiancheng chuckled and said, "I forgot, you never set off firecrackers, okay, I'll take them back."
Fang Zheng collected the hemp money paper and incense, chatted with Sun Qiancheng for a few words, and then went to the next house. Sun Qiancheng didn't give him many things. This was also because Zen Master Yizhi had been alms for many years, so he wouldn't take too much from one house.
It’s not easy for everyone. Taking too much will put a burden on others.
As soon as Fang Zheng left, Sun Qiancheng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master Fang Zheng has come down the mountain to seek alms!"
When Song Ergou, who was sweeping the street, heard this, he immediately threw down the broom and ran home. After a while, he ran out with a big bag and faced Fang Zheng.
Yang Hua, a rich man who was simmering chicken soup at home, had just stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove pit when he saw Du Mei coming out. He raised his leg and kicked it: "Are you deaf? Fang Zheng went down the mountain to beg for alms.
You are rich, why don't you express your gratitude? Don't forget, the child was begged by the temple; even the lottery you won was based on Master Fangzheng's golden words."
Yang Hua said bitterly: "I know, of course I know, didn't you hear it? My ancestor, please don't kick around. What will you do if you bump into our little ancestor?"
"Look at your virtue, am I such a squeamish person? I tell you, it was you who stopped me, otherwise you, a grown man, wouldn't be able to do the work in this house." Du Mei cursed, her eyes
It's all tenderness, and the corners of my mouth are raised unconsciously. Now that I have a child, I'm rich again, I see that life is getting more and more prosperous, and my relationship between husband and wife is good, I just feel full of happiness.
Yang Hua chuckled and said: "I know, I know, my wife is the most powerful. I'm going out right now. Just wait while I catch up. Don't move around. If you can, lie down and don't sit down..."
