Chapter 9 My own people
"How is this place?" At the same time that Zhu Jiujiu dived into the darkness, He Qi in the monk's room in the backyard of Guangming Temple suddenly raised his head, a deep smile flashed in his hazy drunken eyes, he quietly looked at Zhang Tianzheng, who was drunken and clapping his hands and talking nonsense, revealing a sunny smile, in this bright sunshine, Zhang Tianzheng was stunned for a moment, the drunkenness on his face dissipated, and said with a wry smile: "You know everything?"
"This is the Little Light Peak. He Qi smiled, shook his head and said, "I asked you to come here back then, but I didn't come to be a monk. β
"I'm desperate. Zhang Tianzheng sighed, grabbed the wine glass, poured a sip of wine, lowered his head and said: "You asked me to come and see those people, but as soon as I appeared, I was discovered by them. β
"It's not too difficult for you to run away, you owed so much money in Longhu Mountain back then, and it wasn't the same as running away. He Qi glanced at Zhang Tianzheng deeply, and said with a smile: "Or do you have people who are reluctant, and you can't leave?"
"She, she's a nice woman. Zhang Tianzheng hesitated for a moment, his arm trembled, and he lowered his head and said: "She doesn't dislike me for being old, she doesn't dislike me for having no money, and she doesn't dislike me for having no ability, when I'm down, she encourages me and supports me, and when I'm proud, she reminds me and advises me, without her, I, I can't live!"
"Is that rich daughter, how did you meet?" He Qi smiled curiously: "You are a person, although you look good, you have never had any peach blossom luck, otherwise you would not have been an arhat in Longhu Mountain for decades." β
"I'm going to do something good, too. Zhang Tianzheng grinned, a trace of softness flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "After you rescued me from Longhu Mountain, I thought a lot, I felt that I was too bastard before, so I thought about doing something good, after arriving at Jiucang Mountain, I happened to meet a private teacher, saying that their school was about to be unable to open in the mountains, I bought a lot of things at that time, and then a few days later, she also got there, donated a lot of money, not to mention, and volunteered to be a teacher, we met like this." β
"Since you are the daughter of a rich family, how can you be short of money?"
"It's all the family's money, her family is not a good house, how to do things that are not beneficial, the money she took out is a little bit of her own savings, her family has been thinking about letting her marry a rich son, but she ran to teach, in a rage, she turned her face, did not recognize her daughter, hundreds of thousands of yuan for that small school is just a drop in the bucket, and met a greedy principal, after taking the money, he actually ran away, I couldn't bear it, I thought about going out to make some money, but I ended up with the way of those old bald donkeys, was set up, owed more than one millionγ Zhang Tianzheng sighed bitterly and said: "I can't bear those children, and I can't bear her, so I have to agree to them." β
"I can't imagine that those old guys can do such a thing. He Qi laughed self-deprecatingly: "I thought that they couldn't do anything anymore, but I didn't expect that even a veteran like you would be stumped." β
"That's what I'm careless. Zhang Tianzheng sighed, shook his head and said: "At first, I dressed up in disguise, walked around inside, and saw that these old things couldn't even stand on their feet, and asked them a word, but they didn't respond for a long time, like Alzheimer's, so I had the courage to ask them everywhere, who would have thought that these old kings were actually pretending to be garlic, and I was so bitter to deceive!"
"So you took their money and started this Guangming Temple?" He Qi smiled: "I remember the last time we met, you only had those tens of thousands of yuan on you, I haven't seen you for a long time, you actually have this family background, I have always wanted to ask you, until now, I found an opportunity, say, look for me here, do they mean?"
"Actually, they're all good. Zhang Tianzheng hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Why are you bothered, you are all your own people, but in the end, your own people started to move, they are born from the same root, why are you in a hurry!"
"A long time ago, I wasn't my own. He Qi was stunned, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Decades ago, after he judged our secret ink court, everyone was not his own person. β
"But if you break the bones, you can't connect the tendons?" Zhang Tianzheng spread his hands and said: " A few years ago, you made such a big fuss, did a lot of things, were in their eyes, speaking of you, these old guys are full of emotion, said that they can't imagine that when the dark ink has resurged, they are lurking in Jiucang Temple, just want to help you gather those disciples who were scattered back then, so as to help you, the result is good, you let go, don't want to care, they forced you again and again, not to let you take over this stall, I heard them say, the old man will not live long, he has arranged the power in various places over the years, are to be handed over to you, as long as you are willing to agree, raise your arms, the world responds, it is a situation of clouds and rain, when the time comesIt's a bright world, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to follow them!"
"That person?" He Qi sneered, squinted his eyes and said: " What he did, which one can be called light, wherever I went, all I saw was darkness all over the ground, without him, although the common people had a hard time, but after all, there was still some hope, he was good, even this little hope was not left to them, you are also a person who has read the four scriptures, have you ever remembered the words said in the Bao chapter, corrupt officials, thieves, businessmen, people, people, strong people, tigers and wolves of the people, when we secretly walked the world, we had to deal with these three kinds of people, what did that person do? Those people he supported, what else are there besides the people, thieves, tigers and wolves?"
"He has also done a lot of good things!" Zhang Tianzheng said urgently: " This person has grown up, where is it said that repentance is repentance, you have taught them a lesson on the front foot, as soon as you turn around, wait for the calm and calm, they are not what to do, they are not saved, just say that the people are flat, it is even more frustrating, when you meet the tigers and wolves you said, there is not even a hard one, one by one soft bones to accept it, if you want them to stand up, you have to force them to live, force them to be cornered, so the old man will come up with this way, but the old man's plan in his heart is good, he said that the adults are incurable, but the children are this bright hope, the old man has made a lot of money over the years, in addition to the expenses of the operation of various places, all cast on those children who can't afford to read, as long as these children grow up, there is naturally a righteousness in their hearts, they are where the hope lies!"
"Unscrupulous means for noble purposes?" He Qi looked at Zhang Tianzheng mockingly, and said coldly: "Before coming to Jiucang Mountain, I found something, what is the ending of Master Cangmu of Longtai Temple doing good deeds and accumulating virtues? What did you do?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Tianzheng suddenly became excited, and shouted angrily: "In this matter, everyone poked my backbone, saying that I was a bastard, saying that I was ungrateful, but the real bastard was not me at all, but the old Wang Ba of Cangmu! Do you know where the money that that old guy collected several times in the name of donating money to poor primary schools was used?"
"When Kuraki died, a reporter once wrote an article, called the truth of Longtai Temple, which said that Cangmu had a way to make money, but after the incident in Longtai Temple, there was no trace, someone once told her that Kuragi actually had a family, relying on this money, his two sons in Beijing did not know how to be free, not to produce, but to spend a lot of money. He Qi smiled slightly, and said lightly: "This thing has caused a lot of abuse, but it is a fact, the one who broke the news is you." β
"It's me. Zhang Tianzheng was stunned for a moment, the anger on his face froze there, slumped on the chair, lowered his head and said: "This matter, I didn't talk nonsense, his two sons, every three or five times, will come to see him, ask for a sum of money, go to the free, hateful that Cangmu has so much money, but he refuses to take out a little to do something for those children, but several times in their name to collect money, I, I don't want him to die, I just want to teach him a lesson..."
"Right and wrong, who can tell clearly?" He Qi sighed, shook his head and said: "Cangmu, I have done a lot of good things, at least those people who have been favored by him are more than you and I have helped, but in this matter, he is indeed wrong, I don't blame you for this matter, in this world, where are there completely good people, and where are there completely bad people." β
"After the fall of Longtai Temple, I went to Jiucang Temple to discuss with them to see if I could learn from Longtai Temple to make some money, so that I could help more children. Zhang Tianzheng poured another sip of wine, sighed and said: "But later, those old men of the Religious Management Office under the mountain, under the guise of regulating religious affairs, said that they would investigate the temples of Jiucang Mountain, so as not to have black sheep like Longtai Temple. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianzheng laughed a little embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, what I told you in the morning, there is no truth, my Guangming Temple still makes a lot of money, don't look at the pressure above, but the pilgrims also give a lot, I carefully made the accounts, it looks poor jingling, but in fact, there is still a bit of a family." β
"It's just that all of them were given to your confidante to teach, right?" He Qi glared at Zhang Tianzheng angrily, patted the table and said, "Say, you and Bai Mu, what kind of pit have been prepared for me to jump?"
