Chen Jin blushed and became silent.
Wu Ming smiled and said: "What Chen Jin said makes some sense, but going down the mountain at this time is obviously a waste. I also think that since everyone is here, it is better to go to the Yizhi Temple."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yougui, Yang Ping, and Chen Jin were all stunned. The three of them were a little confused as to what kind of medicine was being sold in Wu Ming Gourd.
Wu Ming said: "Donor Wang and Donor Yang, don't get me wrong. The poor monk came here because he thought there were too many old people and children, so he came here to help. As for where everyone puts incense, it's actually the same. What we offer is to the Buddha, not to a certain person. A temple, a person, no matter where he is, if he is sincere, he will be spiritual.”
Wang Yougui and Yang Ping felt very comfortable after hearing this, and the atmosphere was no longer awkward. The few of them walked all the way up the mountain, and they became much more enthusiastic.
At the same time, Wu Ming's words also spread. The villagers already had a good impression of Wu Ming. After all, he was the monk with whom they had the most contact. Now that I hear Wu Ming say this, I feel that Wu Ming is amazing, has enlightenment, and has Buddha nature.
Everyone went up the mountain. Wuming walked forward and backward, really helping to look after the elderly and the children. Wang Yougui also nodded secretly: "This Wuming is okay..."
Little did he know that Wu Ming would always whisper a few words to the villagers while walking around among the crowd.
"This benefactor is also here to grab the first prize?"
"What else can I do with my body and bones? I'm just joining in the fun."
"That's not possible. This incense is especially important. If you can grab it, it can be transferred. Next year, you will have a smooth journey 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... just in case it works."
"This female donor, are you here to grab the first prize?"
"Huh? Yes! But it's a bit difficult."
"Let the child grab it. Hold the child higher. When you grab it, send it forward and it will be there. Hush, this is our Hongyan Temple's experience of burning head incense for so many years. Don't spread it to others. Don't call it a poor monk. I told you."
…
Wang Yougui pulled Tan Juguo to talk about something. He didn't know that Wu Ming was spreading the importance of grabbing the top spot and encouraging everyone to grab it soon.
Just then...
"Be careful! Where did the vicious dog come from?!"
"Ouch!"
Wu Ming's angry voice and the wolf's whine suddenly came from ahead.
Wang Yougui and others quickly ran over to check the situation and saw Wu Ming holding a child. Not far away, the lone wolf looked down at Wu Ming. There was a mark of soil on his body. Apparently, Wu Ming had hit him with a clod of soil.
After Lone Wolf confirmed that he didn't recognize Wu Ming, he immediately barked.
Fang Zheng happened to hear it, but unfortunately he didn't care...
Wang Yougui frowned, pulled Wu Ming and said, "This is a wolf on the mountain. It is not fierce, but also very kind."
Wu Ming looked like he was suddenly enlightened and said: "It turns out that this is the case. It's the poor monk who was abrupt. Don't blame me."
As the saying goes, he who does not know is not guilty, Wu Ming said this, what else could Wang Yougui say? I had no choice but to give up. After all, Wu Ming also wanted to protect his children.
On the other hand, Tan Juguo, who was following behind, looked a little deep after seeing this, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a few people were delayed, Fang Zheng also finished reading the scriptures and came out to check the situation.
I saw a large group of people coming outside the temple! Fang Zheng was also a little confused. What is going on? The Tathagata Buddha has appeared and brought so many people to scare him in the middle of the night
Fang Zheng took a closer look and saw that they were all villagers at the foot 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 children running all over the place, and the scene was very lively. Just following Wang Yougui, who is that bald donkey who looks kind but whose eyes are not so kind
"Bah, bah, bah... we are all bald, so why rush... Children's words are unbridled, and the wind blows them away." Fang Zheng quickly added in his heart.
However, before Fang Zheng wanted to say anything and asked about the situation, someone shouted: "Come on! Be the first to burn the incense!"
Fang Zheng saw hundreds of people rushing over. If they weren't all beaming with joy, Fang Zheng almost thought they were being robbed! Fang Zheng didn't dare to say anything. He turned sideways to avoid being trampled to death...
A group of people rushed into the temple with cheers, and then crowded into the Buddhist hall one by one.
When Wang Yougui saw this, he screamed in his heart. He pointed out that the temple was not big and it would be easy for something to happen if everyone was so crowded! Wang Yougui shouted: "Everyone stop! Stop! It's not 0 o'clock yet, why are you so anxious?"
The village chief jumped out, and everyone became more peaceful. However, the scene was still a bit noisy. Everyone was talking about this and it was a mess. But there are still people shouting to grab...
The villagers were still restless, and Wang Yougui could hardly hold himself back.
"Amitabha!" At this moment, a confident Buddha's chant sounded, the voice was extremely loud, and it instantly suppressed all the sounds at the scene!
Then Fang Zheng waved his hand and his power exploded, pushing aside the crowd and arriving at the door of the Buddhist hall! He finally understood that no matter what these people were doing, if this chaos continued, something would happen! So after making a sound, he came to kill him!
Fang Zheng stood at the door 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 more shining! The Dharma is solemn, not angry but powerful!
Many of Fang Zheng's previous actions have made the villagers recognize his identity as abbot. Now that Fang Zheng has come out, everyone is much more stable.
Then Tan Juguo also came out. When he reached that station, the majesty of the old village party secretary spread out, and the scene became completely calm.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wang Yougui: "Donor, what's going on?" Fang Zheng was really a little confused. This was the first time since he was a child that he saw villagers running up the mountain during the New Year! In previous years, there were only two people on the mountain, Fang Zheng and Yizhi Zen Master, and it was as deserted as possible.
"Master Fangzheng, it's like this. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Everyone wants to burn a stigma to pray for themselves. We originally agreed in the village that we would line up after going up the mountain and no one would mess around. As a result... ah, These unsatisfactory guys." Wang Yougui scolded with a smile.
Fang Zheng was stunned and burned his head with incense? If he didn't listen to Wang Yougui, Fang Zheng almost forgot about it! Not only the Yizhi Temple, but also many temples have the tradition of burning incense, especially those in big temples. During the Chinese New Year, people even go to great lengths to get a single incense. There are also people who occupy and sell positions to make money. .
But Fangzheng never expected that someone would come to Yizhi Temple to compete for the top spot, which was fresh! At the same time, there is also a little excitement and satisfaction! Pointing at the temple, it finally looks like a temple!
Little did Fang Zheng know that in normal times, everyone would not be so active. However, in the past, Yang Hua and others asked for a child, and they always asked for a child; later, there was Laba porridge to cure diseases and bathe the Buddha's mind; now everyone is really convinced by Yizhi Temple. This is what makes today such a grand occasion!
