Chapter 136 Stumbling 【For Collection】
"You're welcome, you should. Well, I'll burn the incense sticks, and then I have to go back. If you are busy, master, you can do it first, and leave me alone." After Hu Tan finished speaking, he entered the Buddhist hall. When he looked up, he found The Buddha statue is gone, and there is a golden painting. The two Bodhisattvas on it are Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Since the last incident, Hu Tan deliberately supplemented his knowledge of Buddhism, knowing that this is Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes, with great supernatural powers, and he cares about more things than Avalokitesvara. Detective Hu was not greedy, and prayed silently, hoping that he and his family would be safe, and then he left with an ordinary stick of incense.
Fangzheng saw off Detective Hu, and then opened the envelope. Inside was not a letter, but an invitation.
After opening it, Fangzheng was stunned...
"Baiyun Temple is going to hold a blessing ceremony at the beginning of next month, and you still invite me?" Fangzheng was really surprised!
Baiyun Temple is a middle-to-large temple, occupying a large area, and it is located on Baiyun Mountain. There are quite a few Dharma meetings in Baiyun Temple every year, almost every month. But every year, the New Year's celebration is the largest and most solemn, called the Spring Festival Blessing Dharma Assembly.
This puja is to pray for the blessings of the people of the world, so a monastery cannot bear the retribution of it, and often invites other monasteries to organize it together. All organized monasteries will be printed as a roster, and large posters will be hung outside. In this way, whether it is the news media, or lay Buddhists and pilgrims who go to the Dharma conference, they will all see these posters, which promote the reputation of various monasteries.
It can be said that the temples that can enter the Baiyun Temple Spring Blessing Ceremony are like official temples that have been officially recognized and issued certificates. Those who are not qualified to go are like wild temples. Although they didn't say it, they didn't think it was a correct perception. But the world is like this, Baiyun Temple did not invite you, do you have the nerve to say that you are a temple? really? Liar?
This is the influence of Baiyun Temple!
It is precisely because of these benefits that countless temples rush to participate in the Baiyun Temple's annual Spring Festival blessing ceremony. However, Zen Master Baiyun of Baiyun Temple is not that kind of utilitarian person. Under normal circumstances, regardless of the size of the temple, as long as he knows, he will basically send out invitations. Therefore, Zen Master Baiyun is respected throughout Heishan City, and no one will judge his character indiscriminately.
However, the original One Finger Temple did not have this kind of treatment. After all, it was too remote, and Zen Master Yizhi was low-key, so Baiyun Temple did not know about the existence of One Finger Temple. Therefore, One Finger Temple has never received an invitation to the Spring Festival Blessing Ceremony.
Thinking of this time of year, the whispering sound of Yizhi Zen Master looking in the direction of Baiyun Temple, silently helping to pray for blessings and chant sutras. Fangzheng said with a smile: "One finger daddy, you haven't been there before, this time, we are invited, you should be happy too? Hehe..."
Fangzheng smiled slightly, and accepted the invitation. The Spring Festival Blessing Ceremony will be next month, and there is still half a month to go, so he is not in a hurry.
For the next period of time, Fangzheng cleaned the Buddhist hall every day, chanted scriptures, wrote, walked the dog, and played with squirrels, living a relaxed life...
But some people are uncomfortable.
"What? Baiyun Temple invited Yizhi Temple to participate in the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony?" Wu Ming looked at the monk in front of him in shock and said.
"Senior brother, I just got the news. It has been confirmed and indeed invited. I know you have trouble with Yizhimiao, so I will inform you as soon as possible." Hongxiang said.
"Hongxiang, you did a good job, and you will benefit in the future. This matter will end with me, don't tell anyone, you know? Especially Brother Wu Xin, he is too honest and has always had prejudice against me , easy to get into trouble." Wu Ming warned.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm with you, brother Wu Xin is too stubborn." Hong Xiang assured, patted his chest.
Wu Ming nodded, thinking about how to deal with Fang Zheng's problem. I suffered from Fangzheng twice in a row, especially the last time, being reprimanded by Fangzheng in front of so many people, I lost all face. This hatred cannot be avenged!
At this moment, Hongxiang said in a low voice: "Brother Wuming, in fact, it's not difficult to get rid of that Fangzheng."
"Oh? What can you do? Tell me!" Wuming asked, his eyes lit up.
Hongxiang leaned over and said in a low voice: "Baiyun Temple is located on Baiyun Mountain. Although Baiyun Mountain belongs to Changbai Mountain, it is a mountain in the middle of a river. The mountain is surrounded by rivers all the year round. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to take a ferry...%#%￥# x-on:”
Hearing the words, Wu Ming laughed loudly and said, "This is good, this is good... Humph, Fangzheng will definitely lose face at that time, let's see what face he has to attend the Spring Festival Blessing Ceremony! Maybe when he comes back, he will burst into a glass heart , just return to vulgarity. Haha..."
Fangzheng didn't know that someone was plotting against him, and he still lived his life peacefully.
Occasionally, pilgrims go up the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings.
There is no time in the mountains, and half a month has passed in a flash. Seeing that the Spring Festival prayer ceremony is about to begin, Fangzheng had to go down the mountain to ask Wang Yougui for help.
"What? Baiyun Temple invites you to attend the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony?" Wang Yougui was extremely excited when he heard this.
Fangzheng grinned, why did he think Wang Yougui was happier than him! Who is the abbot here?
Seeing Fangzheng nodding, Wang Yougui laughed loudly and said, "This is a good thing! It's a great thing, your Finger Temple is really going to be famous! If you can become a tourist attraction, the city will give you some support. Our village is going to follow suit, haha..."
Fangzheng was speechless for a moment. Sure enough, the village chief was the village chief, and what he was thinking was not on the same line as him.
"Okay, don't worry, while you're away, I'll let someone take turns to look at the monastery for you, and I guarantee that when you come back, it will be spotless and not a single hair will be lost." Wang Yougui assured, patting his chest.
With Wang Yougui's guarantee, Fangzheng was relieved, and Wang Yougui asked Fangzheng again if he had enough money to go out, and if it was not enough for him to give. Although Fangzheng wanted it very much, but the money was not incense money, so he couldn't accept it, so he could only decline it politely. Carrying a bag, he went out of the village. In the bag was his rations on the way to Baiyun Temple. He was so poor that he probably couldn't afford restaurants.
After leaving the village, Fangzheng finally embarked on the journey to Baiyun Temple. As for the squirrel and the lone wolf, they stayed in the temple to look after the house.
This was the first time since Fangzheng grew up that he went to such a far place alone, and he was a little apprehensive, but he was a little excited when he thought of the place he was about to go. The only worry is that the money is running out...
There is a shuttle bus in Yizhi Village, which is from the neighboring village. It goes to and from several villages every day, and then drives to Songwu County. They will be sent back in the afternoon, only once a day, if you get up early, you can sit there, if you are late, you can only wait for tomorrow.
Fangzheng got on the bus, and there were acquaintances in the car, everyone was no stranger to Fangzheng, and they chatted enthusiastically...
Arriving in Songwu County, Fangzheng bought the ticket, and when he saw the seats, he was a little embarrassed...
