After some laughter and fun, Li Xue suddenly remembered the conversation she heard on the way back, and said: "Niangniang, when we came back just now, we heard the little monk here say that this temple will not last long, Niangniang, what does this mean?" The incense of this Bodhi Temple is so vigorous, and there are so many people coming and going, why can't it last long? ”

Yan Xi also felt strange: "Where did you hear the news?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"On the way back, the two little monks were talking while walking, and if you don't believe it, you can ask Qingnian, and she heard it." Pushed Qing Nian, who was still a little blushing on the side: "You heard it too." ”

Qing Nian nodded: "Well, I heard it, and I feel strange too." ”

How can it not be sustained? Is something going on? After some in-depth research, he couldn't figure out why, and he suddenly said to Lixue: "After lunch, you go and ask the host of this temple to come to me." ”

Li Xue was about to ask a curious question, but he heard Yan Xi say: "That's it, I'll go for a trip." ”

She almost forgot that the back of the temple belonged to the pilgrims' wings, and the monks in the temple were not allowed to enter.

Lunch was taken back from Lixue, it was a simple vegetarian diet, a plate of boiled tofu, a plate of boiled vegetables, plus three bowls of white rice, Lixue ate without complaints, only to see Qing Nian's wrinkled little face, he just stuffed the food into his mouth, it looked as uncomfortable as eating some poison, no wonder she was like this, even Qixi felt that it was really difficult to swallow.

In the palace, although it is also a simple life, there is no mountain and sea delicacies, but there is still simple oil and water, but these two dishes, there is no trace of oil and water, maybe it is to add some salt and stir-fry.

There is no appetite, and he put the chopsticks early, and sent them away from the snow to clean up, and left the wing room alone, and the landlord looked around, and he was more curious about where the ghost lived on weekdays, but he had used the food, and he observed all around, but he still did not find half a shadow of the ghost, and he pouted and walked to the abbot in frustration.

The abbot crane beard is like snow, it is already a rare year, but his eyes are blazing, his face is ruddy, and his body bones look extremely tough.

When the abbot saw that the river was coming, he was courteous and thoughtful, but neither humble nor arrogant: "The donor has something to say to the old man?" ”

He returned a salute and went straight to the point: "Before, my maid overheard the monk in the temple say that this temple can not last long, Bodhi Temple is a famous temple, the incense is so vigorous, how can there be such a saying, as a pilgrim of the Bodhi Temple, I am very concerned about this matter, so I specially came to the master to ask for advice or two, and I hope that the abbot will forgive me for my uninvited sin." ”

"The donor is polite, although the monk in the temple said a little exaggerated, but ......" the abbot sighed: "But it is not impossible." ”

"Why?" He was puzzled.

After the abbot sighed again, he said: "This Bodhi Temple has no land, no shops, no economic resources, the monks in the temple rely on the few acres of vegetable gardens behind the temple to live, although they can exchange some rations with the outside world, but they can only make a living, but this temple has been beaten by wind and rain for many years, and there are always places that need to be repaired from time to time, and some of the people's use still needs silver taels to maintain." The incense in this temple is vigorous, in fact, because the emperor and the queen mother come to the incense every year, which makes those ordinary people come to visit, but those who come to burn incense will burn incense, they are ordinary people, and occasionally add an incense money is also a drop in the bucket. ”

It's no wonder that Fang Cai's food doesn't even have some oil and water, and his feelings are so poor, this subsistence can be regarded as a paste to the end.

Ji Xi said: "Isn't there a silver pair in the court?" "Since it is a royal Shangxiang temple, if it is so difficult, how can it not allocate some silver taels to maintain it.

"This ......," the abbot stopped.

Seeing that he seemed to have something unspeakable, and seeing that there was no one around, he said: "If the master has any difficulties, even if he tells me, no matter how bad it is, I am also the concubine of the emperor today, and if I can do my best, I will not shirk it." ”

The abbot was surprised, and hurriedly saluted: "The old man doesn't know that the mother has arrived, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”

"It's okay, this time I went out of the palace to pray for the queen mother for my court, and I was low-key, so I don't need to talk about these etiquettes, the master has something to say."

The abbot saw that the woman in front of him had clear eyebrows and clear eyes, although she was the emperor's concubine, but she was so approachable, and then she didn't hesitate, and said the words that had just stopped: "Originally, the imperial court did have a silver tael, and before last year, the monks in the temple could also go out every day to make a fate, but since last year, a small monk in the temple inexplicably committed a taboo, and the queen mother knew that day, so she issued a strict order, not allowing the monks in the temple to go out again, and there is no silver two this year." ”

Dowager? Is this something to do with the scheming old lady?

"This Bodhi Temple is also a royal temple, why did the Queen Mother give such an order, what crime did the little monk commit?"

The abbot's face was quite ashamed: "That day the little monk in the temple went to the outside world, just because he looked dignified, did not want to be favored by a woman on the street, entangled in the temple to find someone, that day the queen mother happened to rest on this incense, in a rage, the woman was driven out of the temple not to say, but also the little monk hit twenty boards, pity the child has not been able to get out of bed for more than half a month, although the old man is not good, but still know people, the little monk did not do anything against the monk's rules, that day was wronged in vain, and later because of this matter, Bodhi Temple was also implicated, and he felt ashamed, so he became a monk and disappeared again. ”

is a young man with affection and righteousness, and he sighed in his heart!

is also an indiscriminate stupid old lady, Ji Xi sighed in his heart!

Don't let go out to make a fortune, and the people can't post a few incense money, relying on that one acre and three points of land, they can survive for a while, how can they survive the next few decades!

Yan Xi also felt sorry for the little monk, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If the master can trust me, can you listen to my advice." “

"Mother, please speak." Presiding Officer.

"Since the Queen Mother has given this order, I am afraid that it will not be changed for a while, since the economic source of the imperial court has been cut off, why not the master create it himself?" Ji Xi smiled and said softly: "In addition to the incense money that pilgrims take the initiative to add in the temple, in fact, we can also stipulate some reasonable charging rules, for example, each person who makes incense will charge a certain entrance fee, as long as this fee is reasonable, so that the people can afford it and be willing, presumably no one will complain, although this copper coin is small, but this daily so many people, accumulated is also a number." ”

"Secondly, the master can ask the monks to chant the Buddha and make some peace charms, which are also at a reasonable price, and sell them to those pilgrims who want to invite peace for the people in their families, which not only satisfies their psychology, but also makes some profits."

Seeing that the abbot's eyes lit up and nodded frequently, he continued: "Moreover, I see that the wing room in the backyard of this temple has been inhabited by a lot of pilgrims who want to listen to the sound of the Buddha at this time, to put it mildly, the inn outside still needs silver taels to live in a day, this pure place of Buddhism, there is such a wing room, of course, it must be exchanged for silver taels, and the quality of their vegetarian food is determined by their silver taels, and the tofu vegetables without oil and water are indeed simple, easy to scare away pilgrims, I think those who come to listen to the sound of the Buddha are generally not poor, Wouldn't it be better for them to decide what they want to eat, except for meat and food, with the silver taels they pay out of their own pockets. ”

"In this way, with the cultivation of your own vegetable gardens, there should be no problem at all to maintain basic living expenses."

Bang bang, suddenly three high-fives sounded from the door, the two of them heard the words, looked towards the door, and Xi Xi was stunned, it was him!
