In February in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring grass spits green, early in the morning of the Spring Dragon Festival, Zhang Quanyou led his family to the riverside, looked at the mountain and worshipped, and made the glutinous rice flour into a flat, oval, slightly concave in the middle, like a human waist-shaped collapsed cake, that is, the waist cake was sent to the river, looking forward to the dragon king raising his head, the wind and rain were smooth, and then he told his family that after a while, he would return to the Fude Gong Temple, because the temple consecration ceremony was to be held today, after the ceremony, the family should send more support cakes to the temple, and the people who saw it must have a share.

The family agreed, and since he went to Zhang Luo, Zhang Quanyou hurried to the Fude Temple.

It turned out that as early as the first month of the temple's completion, in order not to let the newly built temple be deserted, Zhang Quanyou led Ji Tian, Zhao Youfan and the squires of the foundation to live in the temple, and they ate fasting and chanted Buddha all day long in the temple, which was a scene of Buddhist disciples.

On the day of the Spring Dragon Festival, Zhang Quanyou worshiped the Dragon King, hurried back to the temple, changed into monk's clothes, and waited until the Yuantong monk was ordered by the teacher, led the monks to rush to the temple, Zhang Quanyou had led them to wait outside the mountain gate, for a time the ritual music played, lively and extraordinary, this grand event attracted the people from a radius of 100 miles to come to watch, and so on to the Yuantong monk led the monks to the statue of Fu Justice when the statue was opened, although the temple was crowded with people, but it was silent, and saw the Yuantong monk come forward to give a gift to the statue of Fu Zheng, Then put a supreme Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra in the base of the statue of Fu, and recite the words in his mouth; "The disciple was entrusted by the teacher to dedicate a piece of the Supreme Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Sutra copied by my master Jiangliu Great Monk to the Fude Land Gong, and spread the mouth of the Jiangliu Great Monk, hoping that the Fude Land Gong will benefit the people a lot, the heavens will say good words, and the lower world will keep peace."

After speaking, the Yuantong monk folded his hands, muttered in his mouth, and then offered incense, at this time, the sound of the bell chime in the temple sounded, and the monks chanted in unison; "Nan no incense cloud cover Bodhisattva Mahasattva!"

After the monks chanted three times, the sound of the chime stopped, and the monks struck the holy name of the wooden fish and called it together: "Nan Wu Master Shakyamuni Buddha." ”

After three times, the Yuantong monk led the singing; "Please saint, disciples, etc., wholeheartedly."

The monks sang in turn; "Nam no Master Shakyamuni Buddha, Nam no Medicine Buddha who dispels disasters and prolongs life, Nam no Amitabha Buddha of the Elysian World, Nam no Maitreya Buddha who will be born in the next life, Nam no Great Pessimistic Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Nam no Great Trend Bodhisattva, Nam no Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva, Nam no Great Wish Buddha Buddha Bodhisattva, Nam no Great Wish King Zao Bodhisattva, Nam no Ten Directions III All Buddhas and All Bodhisattvas Mahasattva, Nam Mu Dharma Protector Bodhisattvas of the Heavens, Nam Mu Garan Holy Bodhisattvas, Nan Wu Patriarch Bodhisattvas, Nam Mu Bodhisattvas of the Past Dynasties, Wish for Compassion, Compassion and Affection, Dwell on the Lotus Seat of Mercy, and descend to the ashram."

The sound of chanting in the temple of Fude Gong resounded in the sky, and the sound of the wooden fish spread to the South China Sea, which alarmed the Garan Bodhisattva, he opened his eyes and saw that the eastern disciple Jiangliu monk was chanting the Buddha in the Garan Temple, praying for the blessing and elimination of disasters for the new land Gongfu, and he did not feel that his eyes moved, and he couldn't bear to go to the mortal world to see the idea of this disciple, so Nan Wu Garan Bodhisattva drove the colorful auspicious clouds to the sky above the Garan Temple, and the great monk of the river who was chanting the sutra moved his mind and hurriedly walked to the temple, kneeling down to worship the Garan Bodhisattva, and said; "The disciple bows to the Bodhisattva, bows to the teacher."

Garan Bodhisattva lightly opened his jade lips and spat out lotus sounds; "Little monk of Jiangliu, a small temple has been built by the river, why is it so lively?"

Jiang Liu hurriedly kowtowed and answered; "Bing Bodhisattva, this is the local land temple recently completed, only because of the new land Gongfu, the three generations of good deeds, respect the Buddha and keep the ceremony, for the official time to benefit the party, recently on duty Cao played the Jade Emperor, allowed to enjoy the fireworks below, for this reason there is this move."

Garan Bodhisattva asked again; "Who is the person who recites the Buddha?"

Jiang Liu was busy answering; "A disciple of a disciple,"

Jialan Bodhisattva listened to the report of the Jiangliu monk, flicked his sleeves, and floated down a yellow silk silk from the cloud, the silk silk fluttered and fluttered, and happened to fall on the head of the Jiangliu monk. "By the river, thatched houses, it will come to fruition."

After the monk Jiangliu saw it, he thanked him verbally and said loudly; "Disciple Xie Jialan Bodhisattva is enlightened!"

The corner of the Bodhisattva's mouth smiled slightly, and said; "What a thank you, how much can you know, the so-called chance, the fate of heaven, you can't do without that fate, you still have to go through the pain of reincarnation, whether you can get through this hurdle, it depends on your creation, you go, maybe I will come when there is a critical juncture, I will go, you idiot."

Garan Bodhisattva said, turned the head of the cloud, the auspicious cloud drifted unhurriedly to the sky above the Fude Gong Temple, Garan Bodhisattva stopped the cloud head, and looked down. I heard the Yuantong monk chanting; "Om, Aduga, Bowl-headed Mosuna, Dala Rak, Mangha!"

Immediately afterwards, the monks sang in chorus; "The consecration merits are extraordinary, and the boundless victories and blessings are all dedicated. I wish to indulge all sentient beings and go to the Buddha Temple of Immeasurable Light. All Buddhas of the Ten Directions, all Bodhisattvas Mahasattva. ”

As soon as the monks sang here, someone in the crowd of onlookers inadvertently glanced at the sky a few times, and happened to see Nan Wu Garan Bodhisattva, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, showing a dignified and kind image on his face, smiling on his chin, and looking down. The man immediately exclaimed loudly in the crowd; "Look at that, the Bodhisattva has appeared, look up to the sky, the Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared."

The shouting shook the sky, immediately alarmed Ji Tian and others who were kneeling in front of the statue of Fu Gong, no one needed to greet them, they hurriedly ran to the courtyard, looking up at the sky, the crowd outside the temple also followed the shout, all looked towards the sky, then looked again, I saw the auspicious clouds, two white cranes were dancing, the sky came to the melodious and pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, Yuantong who was chanting in the main hall suddenly heard the sound of Tianlai, and immediately led the monks to the courtyard, bowed together, and spoke; "All the disciples Xie Bodhisattva appeared."

At this time, all the people such as Ji Tian and Zhang Quanyou, who looked up at the sky, saw that the monks had knelt on the ground, and they all knelt down with a brush, and the sound of heaven became more and more pleasant, and the dancing white cranes flew under the colorful auspicious clouds, inciting two huge winged pounds, and flew around under the auspicious clouds, and then held the colorful auspicious clouds, and gradually flew into the distance, and after a while, the people who looked up saw that the colorful auspicious clouds and the two white cranes disappeared into the western sky little by little.

Under the leadership of the Yuantong monk, the crowd began to chant the Supreme Heart Sutra, which was originally just a crowd of people watching the excitement, where would they have expected to experience such a strange fate, so whether it is adults or children, that is, regardless of men and women, old and young, they all follow the monk Jue Yuantong in front of the Fu Temple, and it will not gradually disperse until dark.

This grand event, alarmed the county and county two governments, the county Zai sent people to check that there is no error, together with the state and county reported to the imperial court, the court soon issued a decree, ordering all the states and counties in the world, starting from next year, every year on the second day of February, every household fried poached eggs, scooped winter rice cake, with the hands to knead into different sizes, the shape of the land like a round cake. Each piece of cake is printed with melons, fruits and rice spikes and other patterns, in order to symbolize the abundant harvest of the world's grains, the people live and work in peace and contentment, prosperity and auspiciousness, and use this to worship the good fortune of the land

Over time, the people on both sides of the river call this kind of cake the land cake, every day on the second day of the second month of February, all households along the river, every family prepares livestock, wine, food, fruits, etc., and burns incense to worship the god of good fortune and god, and there are more pious and honest people, worship the land god on the family hall, in order to pray for blessings and meritorious deeds, ask for a bumper harvest of grains, and the prosperity of six animals, *, and the safety of the family.

Since then, along the river, it can be said that the five grains are abundant, the six animals are prosperous, and the fishermen can also eat enough, since that year, Zhang Quanyou reported to the county, because of the original nature of the Fu Gong, so the Jiangwan Village was renamed Zhangwan Village, Zhangwan Village, all the people who farmed the fields, will carry their sons and sons before the start of spring ploughing, press a few pieces of Fujin paper in their own fields, sacrifice to the head of the field, and pray for the blessing of the good harvest of the year.

Fishermen, every February on the second day, will go to the riverside with pig's head and rice wine to sacrifice Fu Gong, bless the fishermen to have a smooth sail and water, a year of peace, along the river to run the lake wide, on Yunnan to do silk and tea business people pay more attention, they from the second year of the construction of the Fu Temple, the lunar calendar from February to December of the second day, the sixteenth day are called "teeth", of which the second day of February is the "first tooth", the second day of the seventh month is the "middle tooth", the sixteenth day of the lunar month is the "tail tooth".

Besides, Zhang Quanyou, since the day of the completion of the Fude Temple, after seeing the Garan Bodhisattva, he simply lived in the temple all the year round, Ji Tian often came to the temple from the thatched house to accompany him into the incense to worship the Buddha, and the gentlemen in the county would also come to the Fude Temple to worship on incense on the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

On this day, Zhao Youfan was seeking advice from his teacher Ji Tian, he stood opposite Ji Tian and asked Ji Tian; "Teacher, Zi said: 'I am three times a day and my body: I am not loyal to others? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? In addition to telling us to reflect on ourselves three times a day, to do our best to do things for others, to be honest and trustworthy in our dealings with friends, and to study the studies taught by our teachers, can we use the way of doing business? ”

Counting the days and returning the way; "But also, but also, the son can be taught, what Zeng Shenzi said contains the way of doing business, business people must first be honest, just the so-called friends and not believe?"

At this point, there was an exclamation outside the chai door; "The real old master is also, the analysis is very good."

When the words fell, Zhang Quanyou stood in the courtyard, faced the two of them, and said with his fists in his fists; "Your teacher and student sit and discuss, will I influence it?"

Ji Tian and Zhao Youfan clasped their fists together and said; "There, there, the big family is here, the small courtyard smells the incense, the son is not in the temple to cultivate, the reason is here?"

Zhang Quanyou replied; "Strangely speaking, yesterday evening, a passing young man, fainted in front of the mountain gate, I rescued it, talked in detail, he told me, his surname is Jin, a single name of a Yuan word, originally Huzhou silk merchants, last month, he bought a boat of silk, intended to sell to Panyu to sell to those merchants in the Western Regions, which Cheng thought, the ship he carried the goods, encountered a storm at the mouth of the Pearl River, unfortunately sank, he escaped death, the boatman and the guy have not been traced, he is wandering alone, dare not return to his hometown, in recent days by begging for a living, It was really pitiful, and this morning, he begged me to become a monk at the temple of Fu Gong, and I was in trouble, so I came to ask for advice. ”

Ji Tian listened to Zhang Quanyou's story, not only cut his hands upside down, paced back and forth in the small courtyard, for a long time, he asked Zhang Quanyou; "Childe, you said that this person is a silk merchant in Huzhou, and he was killed on the way to sell silk and fled here!"

Zhang Quanyou said; "Exactly."

Ji Tian asked; "He came to us penniless, begging?"

Zhang Quanyou said; "Yes, I don't see that he is a liar."

Ji Tian asked; "He's going to be a monk?"

Zhang Quanyou said; "This morning, he knelt on the ground and begged me to let him become a monk at the Fude Gong Temple, incognito, and not return to his hometown?"
