Chapter 158: Returning the Favor
By the time Xiang Fei arrived at Hongde Temple by car, it was already an hour later.
He thought that Hongde Temple should deal with the problems left over from history, and it should be closed and dealt with in a low-key manner, but who knows, but he saw that in front of the wishing fountain, many people gathered, and even reporters came.
"What's the situation?" Xiang Fei was asked by Monk Zhiming on the road, so as soon as he got out of the car, the other party greeted him.
"All this is arranged by the abbot's uncle. Monk Zhiming said.
"In other words, you don't know?" Xiang Fei asked.
"I know, but I don't know very well. Monk Zhiming said.
"Okay, take me to the abbot. Xiang Fei said.
"Uncle Abbot has been waiting for a long time. Monk Zhiming said, and took Xiang Fei directly to the Trevi Fountain.
"Master Xiang, it's been a long time. Abbot Huixin said with a smile.
"I just saw it a few days ago, and the master is in a good mood. Xiang Fei said with a smile.
"Xiang Benefactor can take time out of his busy schedule to come, so the poor monk is in a good mood. Abbot Huixin said.
"Master, you mentioned earlier that the secret of the Wishing Fountain is related to a benefactor with the surname Xiang, isn't this little brother?" At this time, a female reporter immediately handed the microphone to Abbot Huixin's mouth.
"Yes, the secret of the wishing pool was also discovered by this benefactor, Hongdeok Temple, as the name suggests, is to promote righteousness, promote morality, and promote core values, but the secret of the wishing pool itself goes against this original intention......"
“…… Therefore, it is time for our generation to expose this big lie and correct this mistake, which is why I have invited you here, just to let everyone see our faith and determination to correct our mistakes. Abbot Huixin said solemnly into the microphone.
Subsequently, in front of all reporters and pilgrims, Abbot Huixin told the secret of the Wishing Fountain, and also told the general process of how Xiang Fei discovered the Trevi Fountain.
Even what the old ghost of Yuan Tong did back then, and the original intention of setting up this organ, were all explained one by one, without the slightest concealment, which fully demonstrated his open-mindedness and determination to make amends.
Of course, in order not to cause panic among the people, Abbot Huixin did not tell everyone about the death of the old ghost of Yuantong and the fact that the remnant soul was in chaos.
At first, the pilgrims were a little angry when they heard this, especially those who had invested more money in the wishing fountain over the years, hoping that the money could fulfill their wishes, and they were even more disappointed.
However, when they saw the attitude and determination of Abbot Huixin, who was open-minded and upright, and the wishing fountain belonged to the previous monks, they quickly tolerated them.
After all, it was not their fault that the Wishing Fountain was not their fault, and they only learned about it recently, and they did not deliberately want to hide the truth.
Moreover, after learning the truth, they did not hide it, did not deceive, did not continue to deceive, but said it generously, and this courage and attitude also made them admire it very much.
After Abbot Huixin explained the situation in detail, the microphone of the female reporter was very expressive
into Xiang Fei's hands.
"Can you give us a brief explanation of how you discovered this secret in the first place? The female reporter is dressed in red, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, dignified and beautiful, very attractive, due to the characteristics of her profession, her voice is very sweet, but the speed of speech is relatively fast.
"It was a fantastic morning, I was about to drive to my girlfriend's house and was going to have breakfast with her......"
"To the point, I know that you have a girlfriend, but we are not interested in your private life......" Xiang Fei's words were not finished, and immediately an impatient pilgrim interrupted him rudely.
"Okay, okay, the first time I faced an interview with a reporter, I was a little nervous...... Later, I took the wrong road and drove directly to the river, suddenly went into the water, found the mechanism, and then reacted to Abbot Huixin......" Xiang Fei said succinctly.
"That's gone?" the female reporter asked.
"No, the point is that I found the mechanism and told the master. Xiang Fei said.
Hearing this, all the people invariably looked at the anxious pilgrim before, and they all realized that Xiang Fei must have done it on purpose.
Originally, they could hear a story with twists and turns, but because you were impatient, the storyteller lost interest, and everyone didn't have to listen.
"What are you looking at me doing? He's just deliberately brushing up on his sense of existence, okay, I look down on this kind of person the most. The young male pilgrim said confidently.
"Do you think the position he is standing in today and his importance in this matter need to be brushed up with a sense of existence?" Hearing this, without waiting for Xiang Fei to refute, the female reporter in red immediately refuted.
"Hehe, don't be too nervous, don't be too nervous, don't smell too much gunpowder, today, even if it is a rare highlight moment in my life, in the face of so many audiences, you shouldn't mind making a little joke with everyone, right?" Xiang Fei said with a smile.
"Don't mind...... Don't mind ......," the pilgrims immediately responded enthusiastically.
The young male pilgrim listened and bowed his head in embarrassment.
After that, Xiang Fei also omitted the role of the old ghost of Yuantong, and told the story of his discovery of the organ under the water in more detail, because it fully satisfied everyone's curiosity, plus he graduated from the Chinese Department, and his eloquence was really good, so he actually won more warm applause than Abbot Huixin.
Hearing everyone's applause, Xiang Fei's heart moved, and a brand new idea suddenly popped up.
So, he whispered to Abbot Huixin: "If there is a mistake, of course it must be corrected, but if it is a mistake, it is good to make full use of it." ”
"Master Xiang has something to say, and the poor monk listens. Abbot Huixin said, and he also saw that Xiang Fei's popularity at this time was even more prosperous than himself.
"This mechanism, the design is still very exquisite, just shut down or destroyed, it's a pity, otherwise, let's find someone to modify the exit, in the future, the coins flowing out of this outlet can be donated to the Hope Project, which is equivalent to everyone working together to do good deeds, and the wishing pool can also
Continue to maintain its mystery......"
"Moreover, this secret has been known to everyone, and you have also invited a reporter to publicize it, so it is not considered deliberate deception, in the future, if you are willing to put coins into the pool, you can continue, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, and we can also write a notice board on the edge of the wishing pool, the cause and effect of this matter, and tell everyone in a dignified manner......"
"Okay, this move is very good!" Abbot Huixin listened, his eyes lit up, and he was excited.
Subsequently, Abbot Huixin immediately shared Xiang Fei's suggestion with everyone on the spot, and it was unanimously recognized and praised by everyone.
So, Xiang Fei, who originally needed to shut down the agency, was directly invited to the main hall of the temple to drink tea.
At the same time, the "slash monks" in the temple who are proficient in architecture were also invited to listen to Xiang Fei explain the mysteries of this mechanism in detail, so that they could smoothly transform the remaining mechanism of the wishing pool in the future and continue to play the wonderful use of the wishing pool.
After doing all this, Xiang Fei can be regarded as a successful retirement.
However, during the chat, Abbot Huixin accidentally learned that Xiang Fei could also do alchemy, hesitated for a long time, and took out a wooden box from the material warehouse in the temple.
Inside the box, there is a set of jade bottles with exquisite workmanship, the bottle mouth is small, the bottle body is wide, each one is about ten centimeters high, a total of ten, each with a slightly different color.
"This is the jade bottle that used to store the pill in the temple, and now the alchemists are almost extinct, and it is useless to keep this set of jade bottles, so I simply gave it to the Xiang donor to form a good fate. Abbot Huixin said reluctantly.
"It's really a good thing, I got this good fate, thank you, master, the pills I refined before were all casually packed, and it was nothing if the time was short, and after a long time, the effect of the medicine would be lost, and now with this, it is indeed much more convenient." Xiang Fei said.
"You're welcome, forget it, it should be a reward for your clever plan today, if it weren't for you, the handling of the wishing pool would not be so conforming to the people's wishes, nor would it be so satisfactorily solved, the poor monks are ready to bear the condemnation of the pilgrims, I believe that their willingness to put coins into the pool in the future will not be hit, and the reputation and influence of the temple will not be affected in the slightest. Abbot Huixin said.
"Of course, in the past, they put coins just with the illusion of honoring the gods, but in the future, when they put coins, they can not only continue to make wishes, but also donate money and do good deeds, why not?" Xiang Fei said.
After speaking, Xiang Fei changed his words and said: "Of course, I am not the kind of person who is insatiable, when I turn around and refine a good pill, I will definitely send you a few, which will be regarded as deducting the value of this set of pills." ”
"I know that the donor is kind-hearted......
