The function of this ritual is basically to bring joy and give people a spiritual hint. The eminent monk’s method can eliminate bad luck. After today, you have to start all over again. Putting down your burden and moving forward will always lead you further than walking in depression. At this time, many people still don’t know that the reason for success is themselves, not the priests or the eminent monks.
Of course, eminent monks are not completely helpless. A qualified ritual is not just a formality, but also has spiritual enlightenment, as well as its own prestige and practice as the foundation. Otherwise, why should others trust you
Therefore, it is not wrong to attribute this to the eminent monk. It is not wrong for eminent monks to be worshiped by you.
Of course, he would not say these words to the people present. Sometimes, breaking the point is not a good thing.
Village Chief Song said: "Abbot Fangzheng, what do you think?"
At this moment, a figure walked in, interrupted Village Chief Song on the spot and said: "I object!" Then he looked at the window and door and muttered: "You guys don't smoke anymore, you are choking me to death."
Fang Zheng looked around after hearing the sound and found that a female police officer had appeared at the door. The female police officer was not pretty, but she had a solemn expression and was particularly energetic in her fine clothes.
"Haha, Officer Bao, why didn't you tell me earlier that you couldn't stand smoking? We thought you didn't care. We really embarrassed you. You have been smoking secondhand smoke here for more than an hour." Village Chief Song said with an embarrassed smile.
Officer Bao shook his head and said: "I'm not that delicate. The people in our office are all smokers. Every time we handle a case, they only smoke a lot more than you. Of course, it would be best if we don't smoke second-hand smoke. We Let’s get down to business. I don’t agree with inviting any monks to perform rituals. In what age do you still believe this? All of you sitting here are village cadres in the village. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t take the lead in engaging in these feudal superstitions.”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.
Fang Zheng didn't care, because he also encouraged superstition without envelopes. It's just that he was included in the ranks of feudal superstition, which made him a little unhappy. Is he superstitious? What he said were all real things. Spiritual thoughts and superstitious beliefs are not the same concept. What's more, there is a big monster next to him, and there is an unknown system in his body that tricks him into becoming a Buddha and an ancestor. If he really wants to become a Buddha, then even if he is talking about feudal superstition, is it not feudal superstition? Of course, it is limited to him alone. Even so, Fang Zheng still feels that it is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself when encountering problems, so he does not encourage everyone to pray to Buddha or God, but he also does not want to be said to be feudal and superstitious - unhappy!
However, Fang Zheng thought about it again and felt relieved after looking at the police uniform he was wearing. People's jobs are destined to disbelieve this, and there is no point in arguing with the other party.
Fangzheng was generous, but Red Boy was petty and became unhappy on the spot, shouting: "What is feudal superstition? Your ancestors left you so many precious things, but when it comes to your scientific research, you don't understand it, so you deny it." , it’s really ridiculous. It’s something that has been passed down for thousands of years. Maybe the explanation sounds bastard, but after all, it is a summary of survival experience. When a dog is sick, he will look for herbs to eat, but if you ask the dog about the chemical formula of the herbs, he will know nothing. ah!"
When Fang Zheng heard this, he was slightly startled. Isn't this what he said to Hong Boy back then? This kid actually remembered everything and took it out to refute. So Fang Zheng gave him a fierce look without politeness, as if he was scolding him! But secretly give him a thumbs up from an angle that no one else can see.
Red Boy suddenly became very happy...
When Officer Bao heard this, he immediately became unhappy and was about to retort when he saw it was a little guy wearing a monk's uniform. His tense face suddenly stopped and he smiled: "You kid, who did you hear these words? This is the truth. But the feudal superstitions I’m talking about are not the ones you mentioned. What I’m talking about are the real feudal superstitions… Hey, forget it, I can’t tell you clearly.”
Officer Bao did not vent his anger at Hong Boy. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng. His eyes instantly changed from amiable to sharp as a knife, and said: "Master, I don't understand the matter of becoming a monk. But my job is destined. It’s impossible for me to believe you. Please forgive me.”
Fang Zheng put his hands together and said, "Amitabha."
Hearing what Officer Bao said, the village chiefs present were a little unhappy. Even the chief of Hongyan Village frowned.
Although Fang Zheng has little to do with their Hongyan Village, they are die-hard fans of Hongyan Temple. But Fang Zheng was highly respected by Zen Master Hongyan, and Fang Zheng had indeed done a lot of good deeds, and many people in eight villages within ten miles received his favor. It was strange that he was happy to be criticized in person like this.
Wang Yougui was even more unhappy and was about to say a few words to help Fang Zheng.
But I heard Village Chief Song say: "Officer Bao, you know the situation here. This is really evil in our village. Although Abbot Fangzheng is young, he is a well-known master in our ten-mile village, and he has many methods." , You are really capable! I think there is nothing your police station can do now anyway. It will take several days for the experts to arrive, so why not let Abbot Fangzheng give it a try, what if it works?"
Officer Bao glanced at Fang Zheng and then at the villagers who looked trusting. She frowned slightly. She couldn't figure out what method this young monk used to convince these village chiefs to protect them. No matter how Bao Yuluo looked at Fang Zheng, she could not see any trace of the master's temperament. At least it was far from the attainable old monks in her mind. Although this monk is quite handsome, looks quite sunny, and has a peaceful and peaceful temperament, Bao Yuluo really doesn't believe that he has the right to practice. Shaking his head, Bao Yuluo walked out. Her objection just now was just her opinion. If a village really wanted to hold a ritual ceremony, she really had no right to interfere with it.
"Abbot Fangzheng, don't be offended. Officer Bao is a very good person. He has helped everyone a lot since he came to our village." Village Chief Song was afraid that Fangzheng would be unhappy because of Bao Yuluo's words, so he quickly explained.
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "Amitabha, it's okay. The poor monk understood what the donor meant, and she didn't mean any harm."
"It's good that Abbot can understand. It is said that Officer Bao was admitted from outside. He has only been on the job for a short time and he doesn't know much about us. If we were the local police, who wouldn't know the abilities of Abbot Fangzheng, haha..." Songcun Chang took advantage of the opportunity to flatter Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng smiled helplessly. He had not dealt with the police many times. Although he was confident that he was somewhat famous, if all the police believed in him, he would not believe it even to death. At most, the police think that he is a good monk with some abilities, but they do not respect him as much as the villagers.
