Yuan'an's words were not enough to convince Yuanqing of the utility of the newly made oil press, and Yuan'an simply expressed it with practical actions. He brought a bag of soybeans from the utility room and squeezed the oil in front of the round noodles. When I saw the cool soybean oil flowing out, my round eyes were about to fall off. He had heard that the oil mill needed to go through many steps to extract oil, but the oil press made by the little brother was so simple to squeeze out the oil!

Yuan An smiled: This is the power of technology! This is a summary of the experience that transcends thousands of years!

With the oil, Yuan'an made more delicious food that night, and everyone couldn't stop eating. Fortunately, Yuan'an estimated this situation, and the number of dishes he cooked was not much, and there was enough for all people to eat seventy percent full.

Half of the remaining oil was taken to the kitchen to cook, and the other half was handed over to Yuanqing for him to take to the Buddha to light the lantern.

After Yuanqing took over the task, he glanced at Yuan'an and asked, "Little senior brother, can you teach me how to make this oil press?" ”

Yuan'an understands that even if Yuanqing enters Buddhism, he still can't let go of his family after years of family education, and with benefits, he will still think of his family, such as the sweet potato potato before.

"Yes." Yuan An said, "Not only will I teach you, but also the villagers under the mountain." So that they can also eat convenient and cheap oil. ”

"Amitabha, good, good." Kong Yuan recited a Buddha name and praised Yuan An, "You did a good job." ”

Yuan An grinned: "It's the master who teaches well." ”

Yuan An turned his head to Yuan Qing and said: "Second junior brother, you go down the mountain with me tomorrow to the village, I will teach the villagers to make oil presses, you give me a hand, and learn by the way." ”

"Okay." Yuanqing hurriedly answered.

The next day, Yuanan and Yuanqing went down the mountain to teach the villagers how to make an oil press. Unlike Yuanqing, who was initially suspicious of the oil press, the simple-minded villagers trusted the masters in the temple on the mountain very much, and the masters did everything right, it was the guidance of the Buddha, and it was for their good. As long as you believe in the Buddha and believe in the masters, their lives will be fine. Isn't the case with potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes proof this? And after they squeezed out the first batch of oil, they became even more convinced of it.

Yuanqing did not follow Yuan'an back to Qingyuan Temple, but went back to his family directly, and returned to Qingyuan Temple with a team of carriages and horses on the third day. There were too many supplies on the convoy, and the remaining two rooms of Qingyuan Temple couldn't fit at all. Fortunately, Yuanqing was prepared, and among the people he brought were craftsmen, and hired farmers from the bottom of the mountain, and they worked together to expand the backyard, build a few more houses, and even specially build a huge utility room. Underneath the utility room is a cellar for storing grain and vegetables.

Looking at the full cellar and utility room, everyone in the temple was very happy and satisfied, and even Kong Yuan, a big monk who was not angry, showed a faint smile. Thinking that he and his junior brother stuck to Qingyuan Temple, relying on each other for their lives, often not enough to eat and wear, although the heart of the Buddha is firm, but the bottom of the heart is inevitably not envious of the monks of Qiyuan Temple. Now it's good, they don't have to starve and freeze, and they don't have to envy the monks of Qiyuan Temple.

It seems that Yuan'an has gradually changed for the better after coming, and Yuan'an is the lucky star of Qingyuan Temple!

So ten years have passed. In the past ten years, Yuan'an has another junior brother, named Yuanyun from Kongyuan. Yuanyun's background is similar to Yuanqing, both of them were born in a family. However, he is not like Yuan'an and Yuanqing, and the reason for becoming a monk is bloody. The reason for his ordination is simple, he is for good health. The child was born prematurely, was weak, and almost died at the age of ten. Later, I don't know who told his parents to send the child to Buddhism to practice for a period of time, so that the child can recover his health under the blessing of the Buddha, and then take him home, the child's father decided to send his son to be a monk for a period of time.

The child's parents had a good relationship with Yuanqing's family, and Yuanqing's family recommended Qingyuan Temple, so the child's parents sent him to Qingyuan Temple. Afraid that the child would suffer in Qingyuan Temple, the child's parents sent a large number of supplies, and every year they will send food and clothing to Qingyuan Temple, so that other people in Qingyuan Temple will follow. Nowadays, although Qingyuan Temple is still a small temple, it has changed a lot, the entire temple has been renovated, everyone eats well and dresses well, and it is not worse than the monks of Qiyuan Temple.

In the past ten years, the fame of Master Kongyuan and Master Kongxing has also spread, and they have a lot of prestige in the Buddhist and aristocratic circles, thanks to the study and understanding of the Buddhist scriptures obtained by Yuan'an, which made them stand out in the Buddhist discourse and become recognized as the master of Buddhism and Buddhism. Their names spread to the north, and the great monasteries in the north sent them invitations to invite the two masters to go to the north to give lectures on the Dharma.

Kong Yuan and Kong Xing discussed it and decided to leave Kong Xing and Yuan to take care of the family, and Kong Yuan took Yuan An, Yuan Qing, Yuan Yun and Yuan Guan to the north. The five men found a caravan bound for the north. The leader of the caravan felt very honored to be able to accompany the Buddhist master, and immediately agreed to the request of the master Kongyuan to accompany him, and specially asked people to pack an ox cart for the five masters and apprentices to ride.

Along the way, the caravan was not smooth, and it was often robbed by robbers. The caravan has bodyguards, and when it encounters robbers who are weaker than them, the caravan will often kill those robbers. At this time, Master Kongyuan would take a few apprentices to recite the scriptures of Chaodu for the deceased. However, he didn't stop the caravan merchants, he was not a holy father like Tang Seng, no matter whether it was good or bad, robbers robbed and killed people would naturally be killed by others. If the people of the caravan do not kill them, it will be the people of the caravan who die.

When encountering a robber who is stronger than the caravan's bodyguards, the caravan leader will choose to destroy the fortune and take the initiative to give the robbers some belongings and let the robbers let the caravan leave. Most robbers will choose this win-win approach, but some robbers take pleasure in killing and want to swallow all the caravan's belongings, at this time, Yuanan and Yuanguan will take action and beat the robbers. They won't kill the robbers, but the caravan people will. When the caravan's bodyguards saw that they had hit a robber, they immediately stepped forward to make up for it. In a short time, all the vicious robbers were cleared.

Everyone in the caravan looked at Yuan'an and Yuanguan with admiration and even faint fear.

"I heard that Buddhism has angry eyes Vajra, these two are Buddhism Vajra, right?!" The leader of the caravan was very glad that he had agreed to Master Kongyuan's request to go north together, not only befriending the virtuous monks of Buddhism, but also finding two powerful bodyguards for his caravan. It's a great deal. Not bad, not bad!
