Chapter 961: Rebuilding the Sanqing Temple
After eating, all the Taoist elders came to the front hall to meditate, Zhang Feng walked up to the old Taoist and said cheekily: "Dao Chief, I still have something to ask for, I don't know if the chief can satisfy my little wish." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Dao Chang looked at Zhang Feng, not knowing what else he was doing. Zhang Feng took out a box and said: "There are some things to wear here, I want to ask the Taoist to open a light for me, I have always been restless recently." I want peace of mind. ā
When Zhang Feng saw that the Sanqing Temple was more dilapidated than nine years ago, he remembered that the Taoist told him that he came to the Sanqing Temple when he was very young, and when he was young, he took the repair of the Sanqing Temple as his own responsibility, and then he went to sell incense when he was getting older.
Could it be that after so many years, the Sanqing Temple has not been funded and repaired. Zhang Feng saw Lao Dao holding his things and putting them on the offering table in the main hall in front, there were not many pilgrims at this time, everyone set off in the morning, and after burning incense, they generally went down the mountain before noon, and there would be a few people who stayed to eat a meal.
At this time, a weak voice came from behind: "The big shopkeeper, I'm here." Zhang Feng saw that Su Ming was panting and out of breath, but Zhang Feng admired him a lot when he could climb up. "It's hard work, come and rest for a while. Su Ming was sweating profusely, his clothes were all soaked, and his round face was red from the sun.
"Is there anything to eat, my physical exertion is too great, I can't be hungry. If I don't replenish my energy, I don't think I will be able to go down the mountain. Su Ming eased up for a while, and when he had a little strength to speak, he chattered, the first thing was to find food, how could there be delicious food in this old temple in the deep mountains, it was nothing more than the things that Zhang Feng ate at noon.
Zhang Feng couldn't bear to look at Su Ming, "Let's go, take you to dinner." As soon as Su Ming heard that Zhang Feng knew where to eat, he got up from the ground and followed Zhang Feng with a fart. Zhang Feng took Su Ming to the dining hall, a little master was peeling potatoes, Zhang Feng stepped forward and asked, "Little master, my friend hasn't eaten yet, is there still a lunch at noon, can you give him a copy?"
The little master looked up at Zhang Feng and replied seriously: "It's already past the meal time, we can't provide any more food here, donor, you can go down the mountain and eat." When Zhang Feng heard that there was such a rule, he didn't expect it, but Su Ming couldn't go down the mountain without eating like this. "Look, little master, he just came up, he didn't catch the meal, he missed it, and now he's hungry. Zhang Feng pointed at Su Ming.
Su Ming also made a hungry action with special cooperation, Zhang Feng continued: "If we wait until the afternoon to eat, we will be late to go down the mountain, then we will have to eat one more meal for nothing, the two of us, how much food do you have to waste, you give him to eat now, he will have the strength to leave after eating." Besides, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I will praise you in front of the elders later. ā
The little master thought about Zhang Feng's words for a while, and felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and at noon, he did see Zhang Feng and the elder and the little junior brother sitting together to eat, after thinking about it, the little master nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you, don't run around while you sit." After speaking, the little master ran to the back to get food for Su Ming.
Su Ming couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he saw Zhang Feng's flickering magic skill: "Praise for you, otherwise the headline of the Huashi newspaper tomorrow is that the big living person is trapped in Sanqing Mountain, and the reason is that he has no food and no strength to go down the mountain." Su Ming had something to eat, his mood was better, and his mouth became poorer. After a while, the little master came over with a tray.
Su Ming took a look, good guy. Cabbage in clear water, steamed potatoes, pumpkin porridge with small pickles. Su Ming looked at the food, and then looked at Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng nodded, this is what he ate at noon, seeing Su Ming's expression, he whispered: "Hurry up and eat, this is still good to say that you want to come, it's better than nothing, you don't really want to go down the mountain hungry, I can't carry you, when you can't walk, you can sleep on the mountain." ā
Su Ming looked like he wanted to cry without tears, looking at the clear soup and watery food, his stomach had not reacted, but now when he saw the food, it gurgled so loudly, Su Ming complained to Zhang Feng while eating: "I really owe you in my last life, and I am here to pay off my debts in this life." When I go down the mountain in the afternoon, I must have a good meal, and I can't recover from it for ten and a half days. ā
Su Ming nagged while eating, Zhang Feng's head hurt from his chatter, "Hurry up and eat, you can't stop your mouth when you eat, like an old lady, who owes whom in the previous life is still uncertain." I have such a good intention to bring you here to purify your soul, and it has become my fault, you should really listen to the teachings of the Taoist Master later, and influence you. ā
Zhang Feng took Su Ming to finish a meal, Su Ming gradually felt that his physical strength recovered after eating, the two thanked the little master and came to the front yard again, Su Ming looked at this ancient Taoist temple, and exclaimed: "This is a young man's head, look at this tree, look at this floor tiles, tsk, the air on the mountain is really good." ā
"For more than 300 years, the Sanqing Temple has been dedicated to the Sanqing Daozun. You have to be careful when you speak. Zhang Feng reminded Su Ming not to be open-mouthed. At this time, Lao Dao came over with Zhang Feng's things and handed them to him: "Donor, I have already done the Fa, return it to you." Seeing this, Zhang Feng hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, thank you." ā
After Lao Dao gave things to Zhang Feng, he saw Su Ming, and felt that this person was still a little interesting, so he kept looking at him, Su Ming was looked at by Lao Dao, and his heart suddenly felt furious, what is the situation. Seeing this, Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Dao Chief, this is my friend, who came with me, he is a little slower, and he came a little late." ā
Lao Dao grabbed Su Ming's arm and rubbed his shirt, and said, "I think this donor has good roots and wisdom, is there any interest in staying in our Taoist temple to practice?" As soon as Su Ming heard the words of the old Taoist, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood behind Zhang Feng, and said tremblingly: "Daoist Chief, this joke must not be made, I just came with him to make soy sauce, I am an atheist." ā
Lao Dao stroked his goatee and laughed: "Poor Dao never jokes, you are a good seedling, why haven't you been to Sanqing Temple before? Su Ming was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Lao Dao would forcibly leave him behind, he didn't want to be here with cabbage and potatoes every day, not to mention how could he have Huigen, what kind of thing is this ghost Huigen, whoever wants it to take it away quickly.
Su Ming's calves and stomach were about to cramp, and he hurriedly said: "Dao Chief, my red dust is not broken, and the six roots are not clean, just let me go, and donate some sesame oil money before I leave, thank you for your love." Zhang Feng also felt strange, why did the Taoist take a fancy to Su Ming, but he knew that it would be okay as long as Su Ming didn't agree, but seeing Su Ming's scared look, Zhang Feng didn't want to help him speak.
Lao Dao said to Su Ming: "It's okay, the coming day is long, the door of Sanqing Temple will always be open for you." After speaking, he beckoned the little apprentice to come over: "Let's go and knock on the chime for evening class." The little master took the master's order and quickly went to carry it out, and then Zhang Feng asked: "Dao Chief, I remember that you said that you were responsible for repairing the Sanqing Temple when you were young, so which master is in charge now?"
Speaking of this, there was a trace of loneliness on Lao Dao's face, and he sighed and said: "Now the younger generation will help to do some, but Sanqing Temple is short of funds, we don't go out to practice, and we rarely receive pending orders, we have always been self-sufficient, and in recent years, I often can't make ends meet, and now I can't rest assured that these small ones are the most." ā
"After I leave, I don't know if they can keep the Sanqing Temple. The Taoist seemed to be full of reluctance and helplessness, Zhang Feng and the Taoist walked to an ancient ginkgo tree in the temple and sat down on the stone bench below. The Taoist chief said to Zhang Feng: "There are too many Taoist temples and temples in the country now, and many temples rely on incense money and the practice of helping people open the light to maintain the operation of the entire temple. ā
"But our Sanqing Temple has not done these livelihoods since my master's generation, and we do not accept lay disciples, and gradually no one comes to us to place orders, and our Sanqing Temple can only rely on the incense money donated by tourists to maintain, and those who also have to buy sesame oil to worship the three Taoist chiefs, sometimes it is not enough. "It's really a breeze on both sleeves, and there are very few Taoist temples like this now.
Zhang Feng thought that it was no wonder that life in the Taoist temple was so poor, and no wonder that the Sanqing Temple had almost not changed from nine years ago, and it was still so dilapidated, and he saw that many temples outside were built very well. Hearing Dao Chang say this, Zhang Feng couldn't help it anymore: "Dao Chief, I hope I can help you, I also have this ability now, and I hope you can fulfill my wish." ā
"I had this idea when I first came up today, when I was poor and white, you gave me incense, and you gave me a gift. Today, there are difficulties in Sanqing Temple, and I am willing to help everyone get through it together and repay your kindness to me back then. I would like to donate money to rebuild the Sanqing Temple. Zhang Feng said sincerely, but the Taoist chief did not open his mouth for a long time to agree.
"I received such a great favor for no reason, forgive me for not being able to agree to Sanqing Temple, please go back. The Taoist pondered for a moment and rejected Zhang Feng, which made Zhang Feng and Su Ming unexpected, didn't they generally accept donations from pilgrims? I didn't expect this old Taoist to make such a decision, but this did not make Zhang Feng give up.
Zhang Feng said to the Dao Chief: "If the Dao Leader doesn't promise me today, then I will come back tomorrow." "When Su Ming heard it, what? Will he come tomorrow? This old way is too pedantic, if he doesn't agree tomorrow, according to Zhang Feng's temper, he will not have to climb this Heming Mountain every day in the future, it will really kill him, he is innocent."
Su Ming hurriedly helped: "I said long, you see how many temples there are in Huashi now, the Buddha statues enshrined in other temples are all golden body protectors, the incense is endless, and the whole person is refreshed when he walks in." Look at us again. Yes, your old man's sleeves are upright and upright, and he disdains these formalisms, but we can't let the environment of the Sanqing ancestor be too shabby. ā
"Look at this Heming Mountain again, many people climbed halfway and went back the same way, that's because they have more than enough heart and lack of strength, they don't want to come up, but there is a section of Ru to climb, that was sincere to add fragrance to the ancestors, can't take things, it's impolite to come up empty-handed, and then it will make the ancestors of Sanqing unhappy, so it's better not to come at all. Su Ming analyzed the matter to the Taoist chief from the perspective of an outsider.
The Taoist chief is not a person who eats the ancients, and when he heard Su Ming say this, he asked curiously: "Is there really such a thing?" Thinking that this Taoist chief does not go down the mountain all year round, and they do not take the road that tourists come to when they go down the mountain, when they need to go down the mountain, the brothers and sisters in the Taoist temple all take a small road behind, and they walk with wind on the soles of their feet, and they can't understand the hard work of ordinary people climbing the mountain at all.
"Isn't that right, if you look at how much time I spent coming up today, I represent the general public. They can't all be Zhang Feng's physique, you said that it is difficult for you to come up, how can you bring things up to honor the ancestors of Sanqing, our incense is very good, I think it will be more prosperous after repair, after all, our reputation is here. "Su Ming said that his head was like a river.
