Chapter 24: The Spy
Although Aoyama felt that what Toyoda said was very reasonable, he would not accept this kind of suggestion, because although he thought that he was not a pure monk, he still had to have a little respect or fear of religion, and he couldn't go too far, so he shook his head and said: " I believe that if you follow your plan, you will be able to achieve good profits, but I can't accept this kind of overly commercial way, and the output of Anshenxiang and Qiuzi Jing Bottle Water is actually not as large as you think, and it is impossible to meet the needs of so many people at the same time. ”
"It doesn't matter, since the output is small, then we should take the high-quality route, the Chinese say that rare things are expensive, less things do not necessarily earn less." Toyoda still persuased.
Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I have no plans for this for the time being." ”
Seeing that Aoyama refused so resolutely, Toyoda had no choice but to say helplessly: "Then if Abbot Aoyama has an idea in this regard, please remember to contact me, I promise that I will never disappoint you." ”
Rejecting two applicants in a row made Qingshan a little depressed, but he also understood that in fact, this was his own problem, he couldn't accept a monk who was too orthodox, and he still couldn't accept a monk who was too commercial, but where to find the kind of helper who happened to be in between?
Just when Aoyama was worried, he didn't expect the next little monk to come in unexpectedly fully in line with his requirements, this little monk is named Shiraishi Guangyuan, although he is not very old and not tall, but he is very shrewd and capable, and has eyes and sweet mouths, he is the best candidate to be a guest, Aoyama is very satisfied with him, but he still has some doubts: "Shiraishi, why don't you go to the big temples of Asakusa or Kichijoji, but come to my small Kobo Temple?"
"The rules of the big temple are too big, and the little monk thinks that our Hongfa Temple has been frequently protected by the Bodhisattva recently, and it will definitely be able to become a famous temple in the future, so I came to defect, and I hope that the abbot of Qingshan can take it in. "I have to say that this Baishi is indeed a clever and well-behaved guy, and he has already pulled the relationship to our Hongfa Temple after just chatting for two sentences.
Qingshan was quite satisfied with Shiraishi's answer, so he nodded and said, "Shiraishi, you wait for me in the courtyard first, and then I'll tell you after I finish interviewing others." ”
Shiraishi understood that Aoyama was keeping him as a candidate, and if there was no more suitable candidate than him below, then he would definitely succeed in the application, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, then I'll go and wait outside." Then he kindly reminded: "Abbot Qingshan, you should also pay attention to rest, you must be very tired from interviewing three people in a row." ”
Qingshan, who hadn't yet enjoyed himself, waved his hand and said, "No, there aren't many people behind, I'll finish the interview quickly." ”
In Aoyama, I feel that this interview seems to be similar to buying things in the mall, as long as you fancy a piece of clothing, and then look at the others, no matter how you look at it, you don't think it's as good as the previous one, anyway, Aoyama just thinks that no one is as good as Shiraishi, so in the end it was decided to leave Shiraishi Guangyuan.
But in the end, he cautiously said to Bai Shi: "Bai Shi, our Buddhism pays attention to the fate of the law, I think you are the most related to my Hongfa Temple among all of us today, but this joining a temple is a big deal after all, so for the sake of prudence, you should try it first three days to see if you can accept it here, and after three days, let's talk about the specific rules for joining, what do you think?"
"Everything is arranged by the abbot of Aoyama. Shiraishi agreed with his hands folded.
However, when Shiraishi announced that he was going out to buy futon in the evening, he unexpectedly got together in the quiet room of an incense and candle shop with the old monk Inamoto who had come to Kobo Temple a few days ago to make trouble, and it turned out that he was the spy sent by Inamoto to Kobo Temple.
Seeing Shiraishi coming in, Inamoto hurriedly asked, "How, how, did you get in?"
Shiraishi nodded and replied, "Well, I got in, this guy doesn't seem to be wary, and his Hongfa Temple is indeed short of people now, so he let me stay without doing any tests, but he said that he was going to try it for three days." ”
Inamoto shook his head and said, "You can't underestimate the enemy, this guy is definitely not as simple as it seems." Then he asked, "Then what did he let you do today?"
"I don't have much work, I clean the yard every morning, wipe down the Buddha statues, and then receive pilgrims, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and it's generally very easy. ”
"It's so easy, is it because he still doesn't trust you now, so many important things are not handed over to you at all, such as feeding the dog and walking the dog, he should be handed over to you as usual. Inamoto said with a frown.
Shiraishi defended: "Oh, he said that this dog called Xiaotian doesn't need to be fed or walked, he just sleeps in the kennel all day long, and he doesn't care about him at all, and it's not that he doesn't trust me, but there really isn't much work in Hongfa Temple, especially now that he only solves ten Buddha sticks every day, so there aren't many people coming." ”
"Then you didn't notice anything strange?" Inamoto asked.
Shiraishi thought for a moment, and then replied, "Eh, it's true, there is a quiet room in the apse, and he told me not to go in." But I think it should be where he stored important things, and today I saw him take out ten soothing incense sticks from there, and he also went in to get the spices before configuring the Buddha's face. ”
"That's right, it seems that all the secrets are in this ashram, you must find a chance to enter and try to get your hands on the secrets as soon as possible. Inamoto commanded.
However, Shiraishi had a different opinion: "It's not the time yet, I just arrived at Kobo Temple, and Kosuke Aoyama must be the most strict when I am guarded, and if I miss it, the other brothers will not have a chance to get in." ”
"Well, what you said makes sense, it's better to be cautious and don't be in a hurry. ”
But what Shiraishi and Inamoto didn't expect was that while they were discussing countermeasures, Aoyama met a woman in the temple who would have a great influence on him in the future.
PS: The last time I wrote about raging Japanese entertainment, many people said that I wrote Tanmi, a very wise and skillful woman, too idiot, so this time I plan to rewrite it to see if everyone can be satisfied.
