Chapter 121 Looting【For Collection】
Chen Jin blushed and fell silent.
Wu Ming smiled and said: "What Chen Jin said is somewhat reasonable, but it is obviously a waste to go down the mountain at this time. I also think that since everyone is here, it is better to go to One Finger Temple."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yougui, Yang Ping, and Chen Jin were stunned. The three of them couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Wuming's gourd.
Wuming said: "Don't get me wrong, Donor Wang and Donor Yang. The poor monk came here because he felt that there were too many old people and children, so he came here to help. As for where to burn incense, it's all the same. What we offer is Buddha, not a certain person. A temple, a certain person, no matter where it is, sincerity leads to spirit.”
Wang Yougui and Yang Ping felt very comfortable hearing these words, and the atmosphere was no longer awkward. They walked all the way up the mountain, and they became much more eager.
At the same time, Wu Ming's words also spread, and the villagers had a good impression of Wu Ming, after all, he was the monk with the most contacts. Now that I hear Wuming say this, I feel that Wuming is amazing, possessing enlightenment and Buddha-nature.
All the way up the mountain, Wuming really helped to look after the elderly and take care of the children. Wang Yougui also nodded secretly: "This Wuming is not bad..."
Unbeknownst to him, Wu Ming would always whisper a few words to the villagers as he walked up and down among the crowd.
"This benefactor is also here to grab the first incense?"
"What else do I want to grab with my body, just join in the fun."
"That can't be done. This incense is especially important. If you can grab it, you can transfer your luck. Next year, it will be smooth sailing, and your descendants will be rich and safe."
"real?"
"Of course! The poor monk is a monk from Hongyan Temple. If a monk doesn't lie, how can he lie to you?"
"Then I really have to grab it and give it a try...in case it works."
"This female benefactor, are you also here to grab the first incense?"
"Ah? Yes! But it's a bit difficult."
"Let the child grab it, hold the child higher, and when you grab it, send it forward, and it will arrive soon. Shhh, this is our Hongyan Temple's experience of burning incense for so many years, don't spread it, don't say it's a poor monk I told you."
...
Wang Yougui pulled Tan Juguo to chat about something, he didn't know that Wu Ming was spreading the importance of grabbing incense everywhere, and encouraged everyone to grab things that must be grabbed later.
Just then...
"Be careful! Where is the vicious dog?!"
"Aww!"
Wuming's angry voice and the wolf's howling suddenly came from ahead.
Wang Yougui and others hurried over to check the situation, only to see Wu Ming holding a child, not far away the lone wolf looked down at Wu Ming, with a soil mark on his body, apparently Wu Ming had hit him with a clod of soil.
After the lone wolf was sure he didn't know Wu Ming, he immediately barked.
Fangzheng just heard it, but unfortunately he didn't care...
Wang Yougui frowned, grabbed Wu Ming and said, "This is a wolf on the mountain, not fierce, but very kind."
Wu Ming looked so enlightened, and said: "So it is, it is the poor monk who is abrupt, please don't blame me."
As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty, Wuming said so, what else can Wang Yougui say? I had no choice but to give up, after all, Wu Ming was also protecting the child.
On the other hand, Tan Juguo, who was following behind, saw this, his eyes were a little dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Due to the delay of several people, Fangzheng also finished reading the scriptures and came out to check the situation.
I saw a large group of people came outside the temple! Fangzheng was also a little confused, what's going on? The Tathagata Buddha has appeared, and so many people have been brought in to scare him in the middle of the night?
Fangzheng took a closer look, and found that they were all villagers from the bottom of the mountain! Wang Yougui's family, Tan Juguo's family, Yang Ping's family, Yang Hua's family, Tan Yong, Tan Ming, Song Ergou and others are all here! There were also children running all over the ground, and the scene was lively. Just following Wang Yougui, who is that bald donkey who looks kind but has not so kind eyes?
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah bah, why are you both bald-headed and hurting each other so quickly... Childish words are not scruples, let the strong wind blow them away." Fangzheng hurriedly added in his mind.
However, before Fangzheng wanted to say anything, when he asked about the situation, someone yelled, "Come on! Grab your head!"
Fangzheng saw hundreds of people rushing over. If they were not all beaming, Fangzheng almost thought they were being robbed! Fangzheng didn't dare to say anything, he turned sideways to avoid being trampled to death...
A group of people cheered into the temple, and then squeezed into the Buddhist hall one by one.
Seeing this, Wang Yougui cried out in his heart, One Finger Temple is not big, so it is easy to cause accidents if everyone is so crowded! Wang Yougui shouted: "Everyone stop! Stop! It's not even 0 o'clock yet, what's the hurry?"
The village head jumped out, and everyone became more peaceful now, but the scene was still a little noisy, everyone said this in a hurry, and it became a mess. But there are still people shouting to grab...
The villagers were still restless, seeing that Wang Yougui could hardly hold back.
"Amitabha!" At this moment, a confident Buddha's name rang out, the voice was extremely loud, and instantly suppressed all the voices on the scene!
Then Fangzheng waved his hand, his strength exploded, he drove away the crowd, and came to the entrance of the Buddhist hall! He figured it out, no matter what these people did here, if the chaos continued, something would happen! So after a cry, kill me!
Fangzheng stood at the entrance of the Buddhist hall. He was wearing a moon-white monk's robe, which looked particularly conspicuous under the moonlight! That bald head is even brighter! The Dharma is solemn, not angry but majestic!
Fangzheng's many actions before have made the villagers recognize his identity as abbot and abbot. Now that Fangzheng has come out, everyone is much more at ease.
Then Tan Juguo also came out. At that stop, the majesty of the old village party secretary spread out, and the scene completely calmed down.
Seeing this, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Wang Yougui, "Benefactor, what's going on?" Fangzheng was really a little confused, since he was a child, this was the first time he saw villagers running up the mountain to celebrate the New Year! In previous years, there were only Fang Zheng and Zen Master Yizhi on the mountain, as deserted as they could be.
"Master Fangzheng, it's like this. Isn't it the New Year? Everyone wants to burn a pilgrimage to pray for themselves. It was originally agreed in the village that no one is allowed to mess around in the queue after going up the mountain. As a result... hey , these unworthy guys." Wang Yougui scolded with a smile.
Fangzheng was stunned, burning his head? If he didn't listen to what Wang Yougui said, Fangzheng almost forgot about it! Not only Yizhi Temple, many temples have the saying of burning incense sticks, especially those big monasteries. During the Chinese New Year, it is even more crowded for the incense sticks. There are also people who specialize in occupying seats, selling them, and making money .
It's just that Fangzheng never expected that there would be people coming to the One Finger Temple to snatch the first incense, fresh! At the same time, there is a little excitement and satisfaction! One Finger Temple finally looks like a temple!
How could Fangzheng know that in normal times, everyone would not be so active. However, in the past, Yang Hua and others asked for a son, and each one asked for a right; later, there was Laba porridge to cure illness, bathing Buddha to enlighten the heart; now everyone is really convinced of One Finger Temple. This is how it is today!
