This plaque is different from the one that just disappeared. This is the crooked and dilapidated plaque from before!
"System, I thought you threw it away..." Fang Zheng asked excitedly.
"This plaque embodies great merit and human bonds. So it is kept for you. If you fail, it will be returned to you and you will return to the starting point. If you pass the spiritual test, it will be returned to you. Here you go." The system said.
"Thank you." Fang Zheng said thank you to the system for the first time. After pronouncing a Buddhist name, Fang Zheng carefully hung the plaque on the wall of the house. This was a plaque handwritten by Zen Master Yi Zhi. The longer time passed, Fang Zheng found that the more he missed Zen Master Yi Zhi. The temple is constantly being renovated, and things from the past are diminishing, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Now that the plaque is hanging in the house, Fang Zheng feels as if Zen Master Yizhi is here with him, and he feels much more comfortable.
Just then, shouts came from outside.
Fang Zheng immediately went out to check, and when he walked to the front yard, Fang Zheng was stunned. He saw Chen Jin, Chen Long, Su Hong and others standing at the door of the temple in large packages. When they saw him, they all had bright smiles on their faces. , Fang Zheng’s smile was a little hairy.
"Master Fang Zheng, thank you!" Su Hong cried as soon as she saw Fang Zheng, ran over and knelt on the ground with a thud. Su Hong is someone who has been through this before. Although she has not gone to school for a few years, she knows what it means to repay kindness. Fang Zheng saved her family's lives, and she just wanted to express her gratitude from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't know exactly how to do it. This kneeling was just a subconscious move, and she just wanted to tell Fang Zheng that she was truly grateful.
After all, Chen Long and Chen Long's wife were modern people and couldn't do such things as kneeling, but they still brought their children to Fang Zheng and thanked him profusely.
Chen Jin followed behind without saying a word. His face turned slightly red and his eyes flashed wildly. It was obvious that this old stubborn man was having a fierce inner struggle again. Should I keep silent for the sake of saving face, or should I open my mouth to say thank you and apologize... This is a question.
Fang Zheng was startled by Su Hong's kneeling and tried to avoid it, but...
"Ding! Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You saved people, you can bear this kneeling. Doing good deeds is important, but doing good deeds must also be rewarded. This is cause and effect. Useless efforts are equal to the scriptures. Giving lightly will only have the opposite effect."
After hearing the words, Fang Zheng understood the meaning of the system. Instead of avoiding it, he clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the donor does not need to be like this. What happened yesterday is in the past, just let him go." After that, Fang Zheng helped Su Hong up.
"Master, is it really you?" Chen Long looked at Fang Zheng in surprise, although he also saw Fang Zheng at that time. However, Fang Zheng refused to admit it, and he was a little unsure. What if it was really an illusion? Although this may not be big...
Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "The poor monk is not a master, he is just a monk. As for what happened yesterday, it was the benefactor's blessing."
Fang Zheng never mentioned whether he was responsible for what happened yesterday. He neither admitted nor denied it. There are some things that he doesn't want to explain because they are unclear. Even if the explanation is clear, there will be a lot of trouble.
Chen Long's wife was also shocked. Chen Jin's analysis made sense, but how did Fang Zheng get down the mountain? Did it fly down? Just about to ask...
But Chen Jin scolded: "Why are you asking?!"
Chen Long's wife was startled and said nothing. Chen Jin stepped forward and stared at Fang Zheng with extremely serious eyes.
Fang Zheng felt calm in his heart and was naturally not afraid to look at him. He put his hands together, his face was peaceful and sunny, and he looked at him with a smile.
A few minutes later, Chen Jin sighed and said: "Fangzheng, I'm sorry. I was an old fool before. Just for money and fame, I lost all my skin and followed that thief monk Wu Ming. I ruined your reputation and almost ruined it." It's a good thing for you. I admit my mistake in this matter. If you are unhappy, you can hit me... "
Fang Zheng looked at the stubborn old man in front of him and smiled immediately. He didn't have much contact with Chen Jin, but he still knew the temper of this stubborn old man. While being stubborn, he is also a bit greedy for money and fame. Otherwise, he would not have thrown away his hoe and followed the tide into the sea. If he had no achievements, he would not have returned to the village alive or dead. It wasn’t until I achieved something and got older that I returned to my roots.
Moreover, Chen Jin is famous for not admitting his mistakes even to death. He is the only one who is right when he is wrong. For this reason, many conflicts arose.
Fangzheng never expected that Chen Jin would take the initiative to admit his mistake to him. This was really the first time. It was the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair! However, Fang Zheng still clasped his hands and said, "Donor, there is no need for this. There is so much suffering in the world, and the mortal world is blinding you, so it is inevitable that you will sometimes lose sight."
Chen Jin nodded and said: "You are a very good boy. You know that I am not a good person and you saved my family. In my whole life, I have never owed anyone a favor. As a result, this debt will be repaid in my whole life." .”
Su Hong smiled and scolded: "It's really rare for an old guy like you to say this, haha..."
Chen Jin curled his lips and said: "Is that because I don't obey others?!"
Chen Long quickly said: "Yes, yes, I am the best. Master Fangzheng, um, let me ask you a question. How did you get down the mountain? How fast..."
"What? What? What? Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't." Chen Jin immediately reprimanded, and Chen Long also understood what Chen Jin meant with a sly smile.
Fang Zheng obviously didn't want to say anything, so they just didn't ask. Just like why Fang Zheng is not afraid of fire, why Fang Zheng can carry the beams... these questions will cause more trouble.
As for Chen Jin, he was the one who clamored up the mountain to ask questions. In fact, he just said it. If others don’t believe it, how can he not believe his own wife and children? Can a person who cannot be burned by fire and can protect others even by writing a word be an ordinary person? It's not unusual to fly down.
Along the way, he thought a lot and figured out a lot. Fang Zheng was a man of real ability and his great benefactor. Naturally, he had to protect him. How could he cause trouble to Fang Zheng? Then he has really become an old fool who cannot distinguish right from wrong!
This led to the current rhetoric.
Although Chen Long was a little bit dissatisfied with Chen Jinshan's next change, he was still more happy to see that his father finally got the hang of it.
Su Hong said: "Okay, okay, okay, everything is over. Master Fangzheng, what... Everything in my aunt's house has been burned, and you can't get many treasures. We are in a hurry, I bought something for you, just for the sake of it, so you have to accept it."
After Su Hong finished speaking, Chen Long quickly gave Fang Zheng a bag of vegetables, firewood, rice, oil and salt.
