"Why?" the old man asked subconsciously.
The young monk smiled slightly and said: "This water is holy water from heaven and is not open to the public. Thank you for your cooperation..."
"Holy water from heaven? Jingxin, what do you mean by this?" Guan Xiangfeng suddenly came to his senses and came over to ask.
"Holy water descended from the sky, what is the purpose of this finger temple? Is it to promote feudal superstition?" At this time, several people quietly came over, one of them frowned and whispered, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Xiao Wu, without investigation, you have no right to speak. Don't jump to conclusions. Listen to what this little master has to say." The man with a majestic look said seriously. This man was the county magistrate that Wang Yougui met at the foot of the mountain, Qi Dongsheng! The other man with some gray hair next to him is Liu Guangyu, a senior official of Songwu County. The person who just spoke was County Magistrate Qi Dongsheng’s driver, Wu Changfa.
Upon hearing this, Wu Changfa quickly bowed his head and said yes, but deep in his eyes, he was somewhat unhappy. He didn't think his guess was wrong. Holy water fell from the sky? This all sounds like propaganda of feudal superstition, right? Of course he didn't dare to show his unhappiness, let alone take it out on the county magistrate and senior county officials. As for revenge on a young monk who said casually? Of course not, it would only make the county magistrate look down on him and lose his job, so he could only bury it in his heart.
"Yes, yesterday's earthquake created a large crater. The crater is nine meters deep. There are nine springs underneath, and water comes out of the springs, creating this pond. My master said that this pond was created out of thin air during the earthquake. When It was my Buddha who sent me the favor to my Yizhi Temple. That’s why I named it Tianlong Pond, which means the place where the heavenly dragons protect the Dharma.” Hong Haier raised his head and said proudly. He found that since he followed Fang Zheng, his other abilities had not improved, but his ability to lie was becoming more and more proficient! Master Thief Bald doesn't lie. The other brothers are all in animal form and can speak but cannot speak to outsiders. Therefore, he is basically responsible for all the lies in the entire temple. Alexander...
"What? Was this Tianlong Pond shaken out by a big earthquake?" As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
When Wu Changfa heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "You little monk, you are talking nonsense. Although the earthquake yesterday was severe, not even a tile was shaken down. How come there is a big crater on the mountain you are referring to? Moreover, Is it such a coincidence that the land under the Bell Tower and Drum Tower has not subsided, and even left a way for you?" Wu Changfa is not really angry with Hong Hai'er, he is a fast-talking person who can't hold back his words. I had driven for many people before, but was fired within three days. On the contrary, the new county magistrate is quite optimistic about him. Since people like to speak straightforwardly, of course he won't hide it.
When Wu Changfa asked, many people nodded.
"That's right, little monk, isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Someone echoed.
County Magistrate Qi Dongsheng and senior county official Liu Guangyu didn't say anything, but looked at Honghai'er with curious eyes.
Honghai'er didn't blush, and said nonsensically without a beating heart: "It's just because it's such a coincidence that it looks like it's holy water sent from heaven."
"Uh..." As soon as these words came out, Wu Changfa felt speechless. It seemed to make sense...
Wu Changfa looked at the road, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. After taking a closer look, he exclaimed: "This is not a dirt road, this is a bridge!" At this point, Wu Changfa felt more and more that the little monk was lying, and pointed to the bridge. Said: "Don't tell me, an earthquake can shake out a bridge! Did the Buddha think so thoughtfully for you?"
Honghai'er was stunned, bridge? How can it be? In his mind, isn't it just a stone road with holes in it? Thinking of this, Honghai'er quickly turned around and looked around. After a night of water washing from Tianlong Pond, the dirt on the dirt road had been washed away, revealing the main body of the stone inside. It seemed that this was really a stone bridge made of a single piece of stone. ! Hong Boy suddenly looked weird. This thing didn't play according to the routine. He couldn't make it up anymore. What should he do
Hong Hai'er couldn't answer, Wu Changfa smiled proudly and said: "Little guy, next time you brag, you have to make a good draft. Has the secret been exposed this time?"
Qi Dongsheng and Liu Guangyu also shook their heads slightly, but they didn't say much. Red Boy's bragging behavior was at most just bragging, advertising, and publicity techniques. It's really not anything too outrageous... so the two of them won't really embarrass Hong Hai'er or Fang Zheng because of this. However, the two people's impression of Fang Zheng was greatly reduced. According to expert Wang, Sun Caifeng and others, Fang Zheng was a dragon-like figure, his whole body was filled with the warmth of the sun, and he had a beautiful smile. Have a sense of justice, etc…
It was because they heard the praise from a group of people from the scientific expedition team that they became curious and came to take a look. Otherwise, they would come to see Fang Zheng just after being mentioned on the CCTV news. That would be to underestimate them.
Originally, at the foot of the mountain, the villagers of Yizhi Village were very satisfied with their honest behavior. As the saying goes, the soil and water support the people. If the villagers are like this, they should be upright. But after Honghaier's boast, they suddenly changed their minds.
"County Magistrate Qi, it seems that meeting him is not as good as being famous. How much does this kid know at such a young age? But he can brag about it so well. I'm afraid someone has taught him." Liu Guangyu said meaningfully.
County Magistrate Qi nodded slightly and said: "That should be the case, otherwise such a small child would not be able to say such things. That's all, you are here now, let's go and have a look. I thought that a real Buddha was born in Songwu County, but now it seems ,Why… "
County Magistrate Qi shook his head slightly, and Liu Guangyu nodded, with disappointment in his eyes. The two people have too much hope. If a county wants to develop, culture, tourism, industry, etc. are all one way to go. But there are too few roads left for Songwu County. Because the structure protects the mountains and forests, Songwu County, which originally relied on logging and mining as its main source of income, was instantly knocked back to its original shape. As for travel? Songwu County is not far from Changbai Mountain, and everyone who comes here is attracted by Changbai Mountain. Talking about culture? Digging further into Songwu County, the most famous one is a group of bandits... Digging even further away, we find the Manchus during the Qing Dynasty. But here comes the problem. The birthplace of the Manchus doesn't seem to be that far away from here... Why are you here?
There is nothing, the transportation is not convenient, and the GDP of Songwu County has almost become an unsolvable situation!
The two of them had planned to borrow the dry rice bowl, but it turned out that there were still many dangers inside. Not to mention the carbon dioxide that would explode at an unknown time, but also the weird geomagnetism and very similar landforms. If ordinary people went in, they would basically never come back. . They wouldn't dare to develop such a place even if I gave them a hundred courages!
Since it’s not enough to dry the rice bowl, then you can’t just leave it like this, right? Finally, I found something that I could stir-fry. I tossed it over and over again, and finally found it on Fang Zheng. The two of them studied and found out that the scenery of this Zhishan Mountain is not bad, the Yizhi Temple is also famous, and the Yizhi Village is also a model village. It also has the specialty cold bamboo, the Bodhi tree that does not die in winter, and the extremely sweet spring water...
These things may be the same individually, but they may not make up a complete meal. But when we get it together, even if it’s not a full banquet, at least it can be served on the table!
