Chapter 304: Arhat Apparition 2
The shopkeeper held the two strings of ancient money, lost his soul and stumbled back to the Yuehua Hotel, his body was slightly fat, he trotted down all the way and was so tired that he was out of breath, and when he arrived at the store, he put the ancient money on the counter, and the loose two strings of money immediately scattered, and the rope that wore the money was broken into countless sections.
Xiao Er picked up the ancient coins and looked at them carefully: "Shopkeeper, did you go to the temple to get these ancient coins back, tsk, these are some years old, and even the ropes are rotten!" ”
"Get me a bowl of water." The shopkeeper took the tea handed by Xiao Er, took a sip of cow drink, and said after a long time: "Arhat is manifested, Arhat is manifested!" ”
The shopkeeper's shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the store. The shopkeeper shouted loudly: "You have just seen the long-eyebrow monk enter our store and break the vase in our store!" ”
"yes, yes." There was a chorus of echoes in the shop.
"Just now I chased that long-eyebrow monk to the Yuetai Temple, but I didn't expect that monk to be an arhat in the temple." The shopkeeper screamed loudly, annoyed, he had offended the true Buddha today.
"What's the matter, the shopkeeper explained the matter more clearly, but a few of us didn't understand." Brother Zhao began to take the lead again, and when everyone heard that there was a lively scene again, they immediately surrounded him.
The shopkeeper then told the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and everyone listened to the shopkeeper's speech.
"Look, these are the copper coins on the Arhat, who still has these ancient coins of the Tang Dynasty now? If you don't believe me, I'll go to Yuetai Temple with me to see if it's the long-eyebrow monk who just came to our shop! The shopkeeper couldn't stand being told that he was lying, and he was so angry that he wanted to go to the Yuetai Temple to confront him.
Everyone was full of wine and food, and there was nothing to do when they were idle, and Zhao Di fanned the flames from time to time and said: "Okay, let's go to the Yuetai Temple together to see the manifestation of the Arhat!" ”
Master Hongyi was pulling weeds in the courtyard, when suddenly a large group of people poured into the temple, which frightened Hongyi, and they didn't pay attention to Hongyi, and the shopkeeper rushed straight into the hall with this group of people, pointing to the Arhat statue to show everyone.
The guests of the restaurant all widened their eyes and looked at the Arhat carefully. After a while, someone shouted: "Yes, it's the monk just now, that eyebrows and face are exactly the same!" Brother Zhao mixed in the crowd and took the lead in surprise, as soon as everyone heard him, they looked up and saw that it was preconceived, and the more they looked at it, the more they looked like it.
Everyone looked at the Arhat statue again, and reached out to touch the ash on the Arhat statue, which has been accumulated for I don't know how many years, and it is definitely a very historical Arhat statue.
As soon as everyone saw that the Arhat had appeared, they began to talk about it, and when the younger brother saw that it was almost over, he knelt down first, kowtowed and shouted that the Arhat had appeared, and the people next to him saw that someone knelt down, and driven by the herd mentality, others also knelt down. At this time, you don't dare not kneel, it is a great disrespect to the Buddha Arhat, no one can say for sure, if you offend the ancestral Buddha, it will be retributed.
I don't know when there was an extra merit box in the main hall, and Zhao Di said smartly: "There is a merit box here." Then he walked over to him, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, threw them into the merit box, and then folded his hands and recited in front of the statue of the Arhat, looking like a sincere prayer.
The others were still completely immersed in the shock of this Buddhist miracle, and their minds couldn't turn around to think about the causes and consequences of all this, but they didn't know that all of this was a set carefully designed by Liang Chuan. First, let the sketch pretend to be a monk, lead people to the Yuetai Temple to see the Arhat statue, and then recruit the younger brother to blend into the crowd and mix with the outside, fanning the flames to create and guide people to preconceive. The whole process is done in one go, if it weren't for the craftsmen who made the Arhat statue, who would be able to untie this sleeve for a while?
Other diners, including the shopkeeper of the restaurant, also felt that they took out the money in their pockets and threw it into the merit box, which is not okay, others also threw it, and if they don't throw it away, it is disrespectful to the Buddha. In a short time, the money in that merit box was almost full.
A group of people returned to Yuehua Restaurant, there were a lot of new diners in the restaurant, these diners who had just finished visiting the Yuetai Temple and the shopkeeper, when they met people, they said that the miraculous story of the Arhat's apparition just now, and suddenly the story of the Arhat apparition in the Yuetai Temple began to circulate in Qingyuan County.
This thing is too mysterious, and it is not only one person who saw it, there were not a few diners who were eating and drinking at that time, they also went to the Yuetai Temple to watch, and the Arhat statue is still in the temple. Yuehua Restaurant is the best restaurant in the county, with a lot of people coming and going, and the story spreads faster than anything else.
Many people heard about this strange thing, and they ran to the Yuetai Temple to watch, and it turned out that a lot of weeds had grown on a road in the Yuetai Temple, and the grass was flattened by the people in the city who came to watch the saint. Monk Hongyi didn't expect that in just half a day, the threshold of Yuetai Temple would be broken, and the flow of people would be even more than any period in his childhood memory.
Pilgrims brought three animal fruits, gold leaf, paper money, incense, candles, lamp oil and other things, and came to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. At this time, people still have no scientific concept at all, they just want to believe what they see with their eyes and what they hear with their ears, and now it is full of gods, if a person says that there is an Arhat manifestation that still needs to be verified, but half the city is saying it, then there will be falsehood? One person is easy to deceive, is it possible that half the city is so easy to deceive?
The great monk Hongyi saw it in tears, he had been worried that after a hundred years, this broken temple would have no successor, and now the incense dazzled him, and he had cleaned up the money and things in the merit box several times today, and the first priority at the moment was to use the money to repair the temple first. If such a big reputation is still in tatters, it will not be long before people lose confidence again.
What surprised him was that on the day of the manifestation of the Arhat, there were two young people who wanted to worship the Buddha, and the Hongyi monk was still more prepared to see people, the two young people's earlobes were huge, their eyes were clear, and they were good children of Hui Zhilan's heart at a glance, they had made up their minds, and now there was a shortage of people in the temple, and the great monk Hongyi received them under the door wall.
The Yuetai Temple, which was still a dead silence, was rejuvenated under the 'conspiracy' of Liangchuan, and coupled with several legends that originally existed in the temple, the reputation of the Yuetai Temple in Qingyuan County suddenly became more prominent.
These days, Zhao Brother and Sketch don't go to the street to hang out, if they are recognized, it will not be good, their home is separated by a wall from the Yuetai Temple, and others don't need to ask to know that they are wearing the same pants.
As for Bi Zhaosheng, Liang Chuan has strictly ordered them to keep their mouths shut, not to mention, since the number of tourists in Yuetai Temple has increased, the original silent Chengtian Lane has also begun to increase the flow of people, and the vendors who set up stalls to sell food and play have also increased. In order to get wet, some people deliberately moved their houses from afar to Chengtian Lane, and for a time this small place in Chengtian Lane became the most lively place after East and West Street.
There are more people and business will naturally come, although the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, but the alley is too deep and the aroma of wine can not float out, since there are more people, Bi Zhaosheng's printing shop has a lot of more people, all come to see their craftsmanship, want them to contract printing tasks. It turned out to be a matter of helping the great monk, but I didn't expect that I could benefit in the end, Bi Zhaosheng sighed, good people have good rewards.
Bi Zhaosheng naturally knows that all this is due to Liang Chuan, who came to rent his own store and became his neighbor, if this little trick is a trick that cannot be put on the table, then the three couplets in his store are simply unprecedented and unprecedented. Since he was a child, he began to get in touch with the carved plates, and the first task was to be familiar with the content to be carved, so he read no fewer books than ordinary students, or even more.
At least in the books he read, the knowledge given to him could not allow him to play against the three teams in Liangchuan's store, and there were absolutely few people like this who could make the upper link, let alone the lower link. It's easy to admire a person, just conquer it with strength, and now Bi Zhaosheng has been completely conquered by Liang Chuan. In his opinion, Liang Chuan is by no means as simple as he is outside, and even seems to have well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and under that rough body, there must be an extremely intelligent and delicate soul.
There is also a school near Chengtian Lane, which is located in the east of the city Qingyuan School, where the students are either rich or expensive, most of them are the children of the local tycoons, they are sent to the school to learn etiquette, and they can just have their own social circle, get to know the second generation of Qingyuan Fu, whether it is business or career in the future, it is quite helpful.
The students of Qingyuan School recently heard that there was a miracle of the manifestation of an Arhat in the nearby Yuetai Temple, and they also came to pray for blessings, although they would not fully believe in this set, because Confucius had words first, and he did not say ghosts and monsters. As a result, they found something more interesting, that is, in the Liangchuan Wanda branch, there are three rare absolutes in the world!
