Chapter 1 Pilgrims
"He's not so hungry, is he?" Looking at Zhang Tianzheng, a real monk who was about to eat a bowl, Zhu Jiujiu was so shocked that she almost fell off her eyes, she pulled the Lahe flag, and whispered: "Didn't you say that this guy cheated a lot of money? How can he look like a hungry person who hasn't eaten for a long time?"
"It's bitter on the mountain!" Zhang Tianzheng's ears were sharp, and when he heard Zhu Jiujiu's words, he didn't raise his head to say this, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth first, and then said vaguely: "I haven't eaten meat for three months." ”
"What are you kidding, it's not true, right?" Zhu Jiujiu looked at He Qi dumbfounded, and blinked his eyes in disbelief for a while, this Tianzheng can afford to buy more than 9,000 human skin masks, and he can also get a big truck, such a person, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it, there would be such a kind of food, that pot of braised pork was just a few words, and it was eaten clean by Zhang Tianzheng.
"I stole the truck. Zhang Tianzheng wiped the oil star on his mouth, looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and said: "Just this human skin mask, I also bought it several years ago, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if you don't come, I will have to go down the mountain in a few days to turn my fate, and I will lose my old face!"
"Is the mountain already so embarrassed?" He Qi looked at Zhang Tianzheng with a smile and a smile, and said strangely: "I remember that your small temple was also on fire for a while, where did the money earned at that time come from?"
"It's not turned in yet. Zhang Tianzheng sneered, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't look at my small temple incense, when it is more than hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, but the religious management office in the city is not a dry meal, every once in a while to fight the autumn breeze, I work under the hands of others, not to say anything to give anything, the money I got in the past two years, except for the expenses in the temple, almost all of them have been sent to those leaders." ”
"You are so greedy, then you are still doing this business, isn't it in vain?" Zhu Jiujiu was taken aback, and then frowned and asked: "These leaders have to leave you some soup or something, otherwise if you don't do it, won't they get a penny?"
"It's a little bit of a profit, but isn't this suddenly an extra competitor?" Zhang Tianzheng poured a pot of tea into his stomach first, and then sighed and said: "Although the looting above is terrible, I can hide some money in a month, if there is more, seventy or eighty thousand is okay, I can't move an old man, I am quite satisfied with this money." But the old monks on the mountain don't know where to get a few apprentices, all of a sudden I pressed over, this person knocked on the door, I can't sit still, so I took out the family foundation and competed with others, one and two, it took a clean, but this heavy rain coincided with the house leakage, and the top recently lacked money, just look for me, so that I was completely poor, I want to do it, but I really can run the monk, I can't run the temple, this temple I spent a little three million to renovate, if I don't do it, it will be thrown in vain, I am not reconciled!”
"Have you inquired about the origin of those people on the mountain?" He Qi frowned, and suddenly asked, "Those old monks, do you know which sect you are reading?"
"This, I can't inquire..."Zhang Tianzheng rubbed his hands embarrassedly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Those old monks recited the Diamond Sutra of the Twenty-Eight Sutras, all day long Amitabha Buddha's, but those apprentices are not the same, they are all strange faces, one day I disguised myself and went to the Jiucang Division to burn incense, but I heard a sentence of bodhicitta that saw my body, but I don't know this scripture, but it seems that those newcomers will only say a few words over and over again, could it be, do you know these people?"
"Is it the bodhicitta of those who see my body, those who hear my name cultivate evil and good, those who preach my Dharma break their fame, and those who know my heart become Buddhas, right?" Zhu Jiujiu felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly said it.
"Yes, yes, it's just these few sentences, it's these few sentences over and over again, and when I asked, I said that Amitabha Buddha is a fake monk at first glance, but I just don't know why so many people believe it, it's really evil, and no one cares about me, who has studied the Tripitaka. Zhang Tianzheng said with a resentful face: "But those leaders of the religious management office only have money in their eyes, and they don't care about these fakes at all, I'm really angry!"
"Those people are still there, right?" Zhu Jiujiu excitedly pulled the banner and whispered: "Maybe, it's those people from the Emperor of Light, isn't this just the words of King Fudong Ming?"
"You really know them!" Zhang Tianzheng was also excited when he heard this, and shouted: "These goods really don't take the king of Ming to talk about things, saying that they are the embodiment of the king of the Ming Dynasty walking in the world, mother, it turns out that you still know each other, it's not that I said you, Lao Qi, you have to talk about a few of them, this is out to walk, how much you have to pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, my old-timers bullied them like this, you have to take care of it!"
"If it's these people, I really can't care about it..."He Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of which, if these people know about our relationship, I'm afraid it will get even worse." ”
"What are you afraid of what they will do?" Zhang Tianzheng turned his face and shouted: "With you as an expert, come and destroy one another, I don't believe it, there are more fools than you!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. He Qi sighed, shook his head and said: "Just relying on the trick of fighting cattle across the mountains and taking things from the air, it will not squeeze you into this way, since it is the walking of the King of Fudo Ming in the world, I think they will still not look at this thing, you might as well talk about it, those things you didn't tell us." ”
"This, it's your sister-in-law's side, something happened. Zhang Tianzheng suddenly became twisted, and after a long time, he whispered: "When you were not there a while ago, several of my customers here in Jiucang Mountain had something wrong, and even your sister-in-law was evil, I was helpless, and I ended up cheapening them, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be poor like this all of a sudden..."
"What? You are a monk and have a client, and a wife, this, what the hell is going on?" Zhu Jiujiu looked at Zhang Tianzheng with a confused face, and then looked at He Qi, and saw that the two of them looked at him a little strangely, just like seeing aliens, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, waved his hand with a red face, and shouted: "Ahhhhh
"I'm a contractor, not a real monk, if I want to talk about my family, that's also from the Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain, our Zhengyi Sect is a Huoju Taoist, you can marry a wife and have children, otherwise how did Zhang Tianshi of the past dynasties get it, it was not born by a woman. Zhang Tianzheng smiled, said a joke that was not very funny, and then said a little embarrassed: "Ninety-nine, don't look at my age, but I am only in my fifties, long and handsome, and there is nothing strange that little girls like it, don't you pay attention to the freedom of love now, it's not unusual for me to be thirty years older than her, I am thirty years younger than Yang Zhenning, he can't find a twenty-eight person who is old and doesn't cultivate, so he won't be happy for me Zhang Tianzheng to find a twenty-two handsome guy?"
"It's a little too small, isn't it?" Zhu Jiujiu and He Qi glanced at each other, their faces were strange, and He Qi coughed twice after a while, and said helplessly: "I said old monk, after all, you are running a temple and doing business, be careful of being known and embarrassing you!"
"Don't worry, this is the secret I made..."Zhang Tianzheng was about to boast about his secrecy for a while, but suddenly closed his mouth, grabbed a cup of tea and drank it in small sips, but Zhu Jiujiu laughed and said: "If you do it secretly, you won't let a few monks in Jiucang Temple do anything to her, by the way, what's the matter with your customer, is it a pilgrim?"
"In this part of Shanxi, there are a lot of rich people. He Qi smiled and said for Zhang Tianzheng, who looked embarrassed: " The income in the temple, although it is not unrelated to the pilgrims, but in general, the real money is still those rich people, about twenty percent of the rich people contributed eighty percent of the incense money, so a temple wants to survive, and these rich people have a good relationship is very important work, Lao Zhang's temple is contracted by him, according to the circle, this temple is actually like the company he opened, a restaurant or a bar, he is the boss here, and those rich people are big customers, peer competition, small pilgrims are important, but as long as they snatch away big customers, then they have almost won。 ”
"Then if there are no little pilgrims, wouldn't it be very deserted for just a few big households, isn't it true that the more incense in the temple, the more famous it will be?"
"If the big families all go to Jiucang Temple, what will the little pilgrims think?" He Qi smiled and said: "People have a herd mentality, this is like those private restaurants in the capital, rich people go to eat, and those who have no money hear about it, the first feeling is that this shop must be good, otherwise why will those rich people go, the same is true of the temple, as long as these rich people are pulled, those ordinary believers will follow." ”
"That's it!" Zhang Tianzheng finished drinking tea, sighed, and continued: " I don't know what kind of demon magic those monks used, your sister-in-law and my dozens of big customers were shaved by ghosts at night, and their hair fell out completely, and they came to me to do it, where would I be, it's not a fool, and then take your sister-in-law to the hospital, what can be found out in this small place of Jiucang Mountain, and the night before the accident, everyone said that they had seen unclean things, and few people went to the hospital to check, just a few monks didn't know how to meet a guest, and gave a few bottles of Buddha water to be cured, and your sister-in-law also went to ask for a bottle after hearing about it, speaking of this, I was wronged!”
