Liu Ying was also a little confused. Is this Fang Zheng? Are you kidding her? Is this... ugly
Thinking of this, Liu Ying's face turned red instantly, and Li He and Cui Jiandong felt their faces burning even more. They called people ugly in front of them, but they turned out to be incredibly handsome! This... Damn it! The two of them really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Lin Xi came back to her senses and asked weakly: "How many founders are there in your temple?"
Fang Zheng looked up and said: "There is only one poor monk. If the donors are looking for Fang Zheng, he is the poor monk. Donor Lin Tai, I still remember when you used too much force when playing basketball and tore the rim of the basket." What's wrong? Donor Li He, when you were caught peeking at pornographic books while changing seats, the class teacher beat you in one class. Do you still remember? Donor Cui Jiandong, you seemed to have lost... "
"Fang Zheng! I knew it was you! Haha... We were joking with you just now, but in fact I have recognized you a long time ago. You are indeed still so handsome..." Cui Jiandong shouted immediately before Fang Zheng finished speaking. There is no way, if Fang Zheng keeps talking, he will lose face! The past is too painful to look back on, so don’t mention it if you can.
As a result, Fang Zheng smiled at him and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Thank you for the compliment, the donor. In fact, the poor monk didn't want to say that the donor fell into the toilet and burped when he was picked up."
What a joke, I scolded Fang Zheng all the way. Do you really think Fang Zheng is that kind of good-tempered person? Honghaier understands this very well! This guy is a sultry bad guy!
As soon as these words came out, Cui Jiandong's face suddenly turned green!
Lin Xi stared at Cui Jiandong with wide eyes and said: "Cui Jiandong, when you... Oh my God, you still burped! How much did you eat?"
Cui Jiandong's face turned dark instantly...
It was fine if Fang Zheng didn't mention it. When Fang Zheng mentioned it, the memories of that year came to mind. Lin Tai, Liu Ying, Li He, and Lin Xi subconsciously kept a safe distance from Cui Jiandong.
Cui Jiandong stared at Fang Zheng, his teeth itching with hatred. He really wanted to bite this damn bald donkey to death!
Fang Zheng ignored him, looked at Liu Ying and said, "Donor Liu Ying, thank you for the lunch that year."
Fang Zheng was really poor at the time, and sometimes he would skip lunch because he didn't have enough living expenses. Liu Ying saw it once and bought two copies, one of which was given to him. But now it seems that Liu Ying was just out of kindness and didn't really pay much attention to Fang Zheng. But for Fang Zheng, it was a kindness that he would remember in his heart.
"Are you really Fang Zheng?" After hearing Fang Zheng tell what happened to several people in the past, Liu Ying covered her mouth and looked at Fang Zheng in disbelief. The Fang Zheng in her impression was definitely not so handsome!
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha, monks don't lie. The poor monk is Fang Zheng, and Fang is the poor monk. How about the poor monk tell us something about everyone?"
"Okay, stop talking." Lin Tai shouted quickly. Whoever didn't do something scandalous when they were in school would be the ones to be embarrassed if they were really found out. Lin Tai quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Old classmate, I haven't seen you for so long. How are you doing? How is your temple? Is it not collapsed?"
Fang Zheng said: "The temple where the poor monk lives has been rebuilt recently, and a bell tower and a drum tower have been built next to it. There are bodhi trees in the courtyard for shade, and a cold bamboo forest behind to enjoy the coolness. There are many pilgrims, and the incense is good. The poor monk is having a good day. It’s going okay.”
Hearing this, Li He burst into laughter. He had food and drink, and he had no worries about his life? Also the bodhi tree, the cold bamboo forest? Although Li He and the others don't stay here every year, they still know some things. At least they know that Baiyun Temple and Hongyan Temple hold various Dharma conferences from time to time. The number and size of Dharma meetings often represent the prosperity and fame of a temple. After all, if you are not well-known and don’t have many pilgrims, who will you perform a ritual for? Wouldn't that embarrass yourself
When he was about to go up the mountain, Li He checked and found that Yizhi Temple had held a Dharma gathering this year, but only people from Yizhi Village came to join in the fun. Since then, it has never been held again. What does this mean? It shows that no one comes to Yizhi Temple except for the villagers of Yizhi Village at the foot of the mountain who offer a stick of incense in friendship! Without people, there is no incense. Without incense, there is no money. Without money, how can we renovate temples or build bell and drum towers? What did Fangzheng eat and drink? Are you obviously lying
Also the Bodhi tree, who doesn’t know that the Bodhi tree in Yizhi Temple has long been frozen to death. How can that kind of tree survive in the severe cold climate in the north? He believed in the bamboo forest. After all, there were a lot of bamboos under the mountain, but these things grew up in one year. Who knows how many bamboos would be left after winter. Therefore, he concluded that Fang Zheng was still lying and bragging!
Although Fang Zheng was dressed in white, his clothes were not thick. Now that it was autumn and the weather was getting cooler, it was reasonable to add some extra clothes. Wearing something so light, aren’t you afraid of the cool air in the morning and evening? What's more, it's even colder on the top of the mountain!
After thinking about it, Li He figured out that Fang Zheng's life must be difficult, and talking about it now is just trying to make a fool of himself.
Cui Jiandong and Li He had similar ideas, and he had been to Yizhishan before and had seen the dilapidated Yizhi Temple. After thinking about it a lot, he finally determined that Fang Zheng was bragging!
Liu Ying and Lin Tai naturally knew what the two of them could think of. Only Lin Xi didn't think too much. In Lin Xi's opinion, being handsome was enough, and we would talk about the rest later.
Lin Tai squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Zheng, his eyes full of ridicule, as if to say: "Do you think we are fools? We are poor just be poor, why are we bragging?"
Liu Ying frowned slightly. As a monk, Fang Zheng would brag and lie when he opened his mouth. This already showed the problem of Fang Zheng's character. Such Fangzheng disappointed her so much that she began to regret coming to Yizhishan to see Fangzheng. The changes in Lin Tai and others have made her feel uncomfortable, and now Fang Zheng is also the same. She is extremely disappointed with these classmates.
But classmates are classmates after all. Fang Zheng was determined to lie to save face, and it was hard for her to expose him, so she sighed in her heart and said, "Since Fang Zheng is doing well, we can rest assured. That's it for today, Lin Tai. let's go."
"Liu Ying, don't leave in a hurry. I think since we're here, it's better to go up the mountain and have a look. See how great the big monastery that our Founder is presiding over is. The Bodhi trees in the south can also provide shade, tsk tsk... This You really have to go up the mountain to see it." Cui Jiandong shouted angrily.
When Liu Ying heard this, she smiled bitterly in her heart. Fang Zheng lied without making a draft. Has he forgotten that they have all been to Yizhi Temple and seen the dead bodhi tree? To lie about this is so... childish! Retarded! Brainless! To save face, treat them as fools? Thinking of this, Liu Ying felt quite angry that iron could not become steel.
Lin Tai originally didn't want to go up to Yizhishan, because in his opinion, going up to this shabby mountain to meet a shabby classmate was really a waste of his precious time. He could use this time to spend more time with Liu Ying and have a good meal. Let's have dinner and watch a movie. If the relationship can warm up, we can sleep together in the same bed tonight, fulfilling his dream of lovesickness for so many years. But now, he suddenly discovered that going up the mountain didn't seem too boring anymore. Fangzheng was quite fun. Bragging in front of him? Hehe, I really don’t know how many eyes his Lord Ma has. He crushed his lies with one kick and pretended to be cool in front of Liu Ying. Maybe it would be better than eating and watching a movie.
