Chapter 374: I Don't Want to Become a Monk
The maintenance work of Feiyun Temple continues.
Although it is already winter, the civil works are no longer suitable for carrying out, but the indoor carpentry works are still under construction.
Compared with before the repair, the appearance of Feiyun Temple has changed significantly.
The main buildings have been renovated, and some of the auxiliary buildings such as the side halls have also been completely renovated.
A few pilgrims were offering incense in the Sanqing Palace, and the cigarette smoke was filled inside, and there was already an atmosphere of a dojo.
With the support of the township, Feiyun Temple has been approved as a place of formal religious activities.
This means that Zeng Lao Dao has resumed his legal Taoist status, and Feiyun Temple can also be officially opened to the public.
In terms of economic benefits, in the future, you can set up a merit box in Feiyun Temple to receive offerings from believers.
Feiyun Temple can also sell incense and candles to believers to earn the difference.
In front of the wingman's room, Li Hucheng and Lu Tishi met Zeng Laodao and Changshengzi.
Zeng Lao Dao was standing at the door, pointing fingers and reprimanding. The eldest son is sweeping the yard with a big broom.
"Second uncle, how about this apprentice I found for you?"
Zeng Lao Dao's eyes widened.
"You little turtle calf is embarrassed to say, you think it's child's play to accept apprentices, just accept them? Besides, who is accepting apprentices?"
"You take in apprentices. ”
"Hmph, I think you took in the apprentices. My apprentice, you took it for me, you have such a great ability. ”
"Hehe, second uncle, I think he has good qualifications, you are alone, and you have to have someone to serve you, right?"
"Besides, if you don't have an apprentice to inherit your mantle, wouldn't you have no successor?
"Hmph, the apprenticeship also depends on fate and qualifications, do you know where he comes from? What if he is a bad person?"
"What's the matter, his origin is unknown?"
"Hmph, it's not a monk at all, it's fake. ”
Wow, this eldest son turned out to be a fake.
"It doesn't matter if you are a fake Taoist, you can accept him as a lay disciple first, and after a while, he will have an epiphany, see through the red dust, and escape into the Tao. ”
"Hmph, I hope so. By the way, what's the matter today?"
"Good thing, happy event, I'm going to go abroad in a few days, Hong Kong Island, the East, Europe, and Ross for a walk, it is estimated that it will take a month. This kind of good thing, how can I forget the second uncle, so please come with me. ”
"I'll pay all the fees, and if you agree, go to me, bring your ID card and documents, and then apply for a passport and visa. ”
"What am I doing as a monk in a foreign country?"
Although Zeng Laodao said this, he was already moved.
"Second master, don't you pay attention to traveling the world, aren't foreign countries also part of the world? Master Zu doesn't stipulate that you are not allowed to travel to foreign countries, right?"
"This is still second, I mainly want to let foreigners see the style of Huaxia Taoism, and see your old man's ability to penetrate the world. See the breadth and profundity of Taoist doctrine. ”
"Foreigners are actually frogs at the bottom of the well, so let them see the world this time, let them know what it means to have a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. ”
"There are some Taoist remnants in Hong Kong Island, the East, and Europe, but they are not necessarily authentic. If you go to the old man's house, you may be able to set things right, let them know their lost ways and return to the right path. ”
"Also, there are a lot of foreigners and Hong Kong Island people who are interested in Taoist culture, maybe you can accept a few foreign disciples?"
"Foreigners are barbarians, and great virtues like you are needed to educate them and put them on the right path. ”
"What's more, the reconstruction of Feiyun Temple has begun to take shape, and this trip may even receive some foreign offerings. ”
"Of course, with your old man's high spirits, you won't care about that little offering. But if others have a heart, you can't refuse, right? You became famous in a foreign country, didn't Feiyun Temple also become famous?
"The so-called whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Huayi's argument ....... ”
Wow, it's far away, this doesn't seem to be out of bounds.
Zeng Lao Dao heard this, and sneered in his heart.
You little king and eight calves, what you say is crazy, what kind of calculation are you playing, think I don't know?
Isn't it just that you want to expand the reputation of Feiyun Temple, and in the future, you will contract the circulation office to make money?
However, what he said also makes sense, and it is not bad to be able to accept a few foreign disciples.
On Hong Kong Island and in the East, there are also some self-righteous and even swaggering people, and this time it just happened for them to see the ability of the poor road.
It would be better if you could receive some offerings, and even if you were poor, you could travel abroad. Anyway, if he takes the money, I won't suffer anything.
"Okay, I'll go with you, and it just so happens that the eldest son is here, so I'll ask him to take care of the house. I should go out and have a look, too. ”
"Second master, now that Feiyun Temple has begun to take shape, when do you plan to open it?"
"I have already thought about it, and I will open the mountain gate on April 18 next year. ”
The so-called opening of the mountain gate is the official opening of the Taoist temple, which is similar to the official opening of the special product city on November 1st.
"What's going on at the circulation?"
"After the New Year, you will come to receive it personally. However, it was said in advance that incense should not be sold too expensive. You've got hundreds of millions, don't be too greedy. ”
Hundreds of millions of dollars are not enough to spend, build a few buildings, a water supply and drainage system, a power plant, and there is not much left.
"I know that it won't be expensive, just the same price as other monasteries and Taoist temples. ”
The reason why Zeng Laodao was asked to go out with him was because he would play an important role this time.
The first is to tell fortunes through Zeng Laodao, quickly communicate with foreigners, establish contacts, and help Li Hucheng fool foreigners.
The second is to ask Zeng Laodao to accept a few foreign apprentices to increase his popularity.
Some wealthy people in foreign countries, idle and bored, like to play some mysticism, pretending to yearn for oriental culture and the like.
The third purpose is to take this opportunity to expand the influence and popularity of Feiyun Temple.
Feiyun Temple became famous abroad, and after the export was transferred to domestic sales, its reputation in China was also opened.
If there are more people coming in the future, Li Hucheng will sell more incense and make more money.
Listening to Li Hucheng's explanation, Lu Tixia's eyes widened.
Wow, how long is this guy's brain, this kind of immoral method can be figured out.
Don't say it, this trick might be really good.
Nowadays, many people worship foreigners, and foreigners think it is good when they say it is good. If his plan really came true, Feiyun Temple might really become famous.
As soon as the two went out, the eldest son chased them out.
"Dong Li, you have made me miserable. ”
"Changshengzi, what do you mean by this? I found you a good master, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, there is food and shelter, what are you not satisfied with?"
"I'm not a Taoist, I'm a fake, I don't want to be a monk. ”
"I didn't force you to become a monk. Aren't you a lay disciple?"
"I found that I kind of liked it here, and as soon as I arrived there I felt like I was home. ”
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Ruthi was puzzled.
"What's good, my master said, my previous life was a Taoist boy who secretly ran out of Feiyun Temple, and I came back because of this fate, I'm afraid I'm really a monk." ”
"What's wrong with being a monk? In the future, when your master becomes an immortal, you will be the abbot. Well, people don't fight with fate, stay at ease, and concentrate on the Tao. Here we go. ”
Watching Li Hucheng go away, Changshengzi couldn't wait to grab a brick and smash it.
You turtle calf, fooled me here, I really don't want to become a monk.
