The propaganda work of Howangji Temple has been done for a long time.

Dozens of monks of all sizes in the temple wander around the countryside and towns every day, giving people free of charge, and then publicizing the miracles of the Fawang Temple, and the temple fair will be held on the eighth day of the seventh month, and the miracles will be consecrated.

During this time, many people did go to Howangji Temple to offer incense, but the area behind Howangji Temple is closed to enter, and it is said that there is a miracle that fell from the sky.

Everything was going according to the plan of Howangji Temple, and it seemed that everything was beautiful.

The only fly in the ointment is that yesterday the Shaolin Temple actually descended a miracle again, it was a bell tower, and it was under the attention of hundreds of people, and it came on the spot.

Although the miracle of Fawang Temple is a Daxiong Treasure Palace, but after all, it is not for people to see at the time of arrival, so that it is inevitable to leave a message, many people say that the miracle of Fawang Temple is fake, look at the Shaolin Temple, the miracle of the spot, that can not be fake.

Things began to go in a direction that was not in the direction of Howangji.

In desperation, Fawang Temple introduced a new measure, soup kitchen.

Anyone who comes to attend the temple meeting can receive free rice porridge and steamed buns, and those who come will have a share.

At that time, there were still many poor families, and when they heard that they could not only see miracles but also receive free meals, they immediately aroused the enthusiasm of many people.

It doesn't matter if the miracle is real or fake, as long as he can eat.

In addition, the Fawang Temple began to advertise for a long enough time, and the entire entrance to the South Mountain of Shaomu Mountain has been occupied by vendors in advance.

The monks who came out of the Fawang Temple also announced a great news, that is, the senior brother of the abbot of the Fawang Temple, King Likong, the abbot of the Fawang Temple, and the abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple in the capital, Master Li Zhi, will personally participate in the miracle opening ceremony of the Fawang Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple is the first Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty, because it is a royal temple, and the royal rituals are done by Daxiangguo Temple on weekdays.

Perhaps in terms of martial arts and the status of the rivers and lakes, Daxiangguo Temple is not the first, but in terms of popularity, Daxiangguo Temple, as a royal temple, is indeed the first.

Generally speaking, temples have abbots, but not necessarily abbots, abbots are not Buddhism and their profoundness, and those who are highly respected cannot serve as abbots, and it can be said that there is no one like Huo Yuanzhen who serves as an abbot at such a young age.

But not to mention the abbot of a small temple like Huo Yuanzhen, even the abbot of King Likong, it is incomparable with the identity of the abbot of Lizhi.

The abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, as the second person in the temple, saw the emperor and did not need a big gift, what kind of identity is this, he actually came to Henan in person to participate in the miracle of the Fawang Temple, it seems that this miracle is not fake.

The monks of Fawang Temple spread the news as quickly as possible, and soon everyone who came to attend the consecration ceremony heard the news.

In order to see the monks with their own eyes, people crowded forward, and the place that was already very lively is now crowded with people, and the small traders who are doing business are happy to keep their mouths together.

Not only the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple came, but even the prefect of Zhengzhou Prefecture will come to participate, because the prefect and his wife are all believers in Buddhism, and they used to worship the Buddha at Fawang Temple.

The prefect also said that the Fawang Temple is a holy place blessed by the Buddha, and as for the recent Shaolin Temple, it is just a group of swaggering flower monks.

He also said that after the miracle of Fawang Temple is consecrated, he will send troops to investigate the newly popped up temple of Shaolin Temple, and if there is any misconduct, he will immediately forcibly destroy this troubled temple.

With the support of the eminent monks and prefects of the capital, the Fawang Temple was in the limelight for a while, and more and more people gathered at the South Mountain of Shaomuro Mountain to watch the consecration ceremony.

The ceremony is scheduled to start at noon, which is also the strategy of the Fawang Temple, because the visitors and pilgrims stay in the temple for a while, they can receive more incense money, during this time, the pilgrims of the Fawang Temple are deserted, plus the free practice of publicity, it is indeed a lot of investment, and new funds are urgently needed to enter the Fawang Temple, otherwise the normal life of the monks is very difficult.

Huo Yuanzhen also got an invitation from Fawang Temple.

This invitation was very unexpected, but when Huo Yuanzhen received the invitation, he smiled.

The invitation card reads: "Shaolin Temple abbot a precept little monk Qi, Lao Qu is the abbot of the Fawang Temple Likong Dharma King, this year seventy has two, since childhood to learn Buddhism, five years old can recite all the heart sutra, nine years old ordination, become a formal disciple of the Fawang Temple, seventeen years old to do things, by the Quartet, thirty years old abbot, forty-two years old abbot, read countless Buddhist scriptures, has understood the true meaning of Buddhism, the Buddha thinks, the empty can be understood."

"That is, Likong does not dare to say that he can communicate with the Buddha, you are a little monk who is less than 20 years old, and you have been the abbot for two days, you dare to bewitch the public, deceive the neighbors, the abbot intends to reprimand you, but you are not a disciple of my Fawang Temple, but, the Buddha has clouds, the monks do not speak, even if you are not a disciple of the Fawang Temple, but in the same Shao Room Mountain, the abbot can see that you are a disaster in the countryside and do not care, so he prays for the Buddha day and night to teach, invite the luck of the heavens, the Buddha has mercy, the heavens descend the Mahavira Hall in the Fawang Temple, used to pierce your painting skin, show the true meaning of my Buddha”。

"On the eighth day of the seventh month, the temple held a miracle consecration ceremony, the abbot in line with the compassion to guide you to goodness, with you to come, to see the Buddha's true deeds, wash your sinful mind, may you come to the temple at that time, listen to the teachings, to correct the body and mind."

A piece of persuasion and an arrogant precept book, after Huo Yuanzhen read it, he handed it to Guan Shanyue and looked at it again.

After Guan Shanyue finished reading it, she was so angry that she almost tore up the invitation on the spot, and was blocked by Huo Yuanzhen.

"Yichen, how's it going, do you think we should go?".

Guan Shanyue snorted coldly: "Senior brother abbot, you are the one who can really communicate with the Buddha, what is his Fawang Temple, you went to raise them too much, so you went by the junior brother and burned down their broken temple."

"Why bother, in that case, our arrangements last night were not all in vain."

Hearing Huo Yuanzhen's words, Guan Shanyue showed a knowing smile, "Yes, if they want to open the light, let them open it, and see how they end up in the end."

"It's so lively, we really should go and get together."

"But Abbot, we've just returned."

"It's okay, put the white horse in the car, and we will return to the Fawang Temple now, otherwise we will make those colleagues laugh at our cowardice."

The two of them put the white horse in the carriage again, Huo Yuanzhen told the white horse where to go in his heart, and then the two of them slept in the car, the white horse was psychic, and the two of them could be taken directly to the Fawang Temple.

Even with a carriage, the speed is faster than ordinary people riding horses, and without a coachman, they gallop all the way, and they come to the foot of Howangji Mountain in half an hour.

In fact, Fawang Temple deliberately sent an invitation to Huo Yuanzhen late, not wanting Huo Yuanzhen to come, but King Likong was encouraged by Li Xuan, who had a gap with Huo Yuanzhen because of the loan, so he wrote such an invitation containing insulting meanings, in order to disgust Huo Yuanzhen, in their opinion, even if Huo Yuanzhen came after receiving the invitation, it is estimated that the opening ceremony here is over.

But they didn't expect that Huo Yuanzhen not only came, but also that the opening ceremony had not yet begun, and even the monk who went to Shaolin Temple to deliver the letter had not returned, so Huo Yuanzhen and them came.

It's just that when Huo Yuanzhen came, the people of Fawang Temple didn't know about his arrival, there were too many people here, and they couldn't be busy to receive them, so they could only do their own thing.

Huo Yuanzhen and Guan Shanyue followed the flow of people into the compound of Fawang Temple, and when the others saw the two, they thought they were also monks from Fawang Temple, and no one cared.

I didn't stop until I walked near the middle courtyard, because if I went inside, it was the Daxiong Hall in the backyard where the Fawang Temple was about to be opened.

"Abbot, let's wait here, it's about to start."

"Why wait, don't we have an invitation in our hand, just go in."

Huo Yuanzhen didn't want to wait in the crowd, and Guan Shanyue and the two came to the door of the middle courtyard to the backyard, where a few little monks from Fawang Temple were guarding.

Those monks saw Huo Yuanzhen's invitation, and their faces showed strange expressions, and they didn't know if they should let Huo Yuanzhen in.

"What's the matter, you guys don't understand the rules, and you dare to stop the guests invited by your abbot!"

Guan Shanyue yelled beside her, and the little monks were a little afraid, but they still got out of the way.

Huo Yuanzhen and the two entered the backyard smoothly, there were not many people here, in the distance, the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall was covered with red silk, just the use of this silk, it cost hundreds of taels of silver, and almost all the red silk from the nearby silk village was bought.

In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a row of tables and chairs, which should be where the main characters sit, but there is no one yet.

There are also several rows of tables and chairs below, all of which are sat by the people who have been invited, and now there are many people seated, all of whom are dignitaries and dignitaries, and those who usually come to Fawang Temple, have been invited to cheer.

Further back, there is a wide open space for the people who are watching the service.

Huo Yuanzhen and the others took the invitation, and naturally came to the table and chair where the guests sat and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the consecration ceremony.

The surrounding crowd was enthusiastically discussing the miracle that was about to begin, and there were many disparaging words about Shaolin, and Huo Yuanzhen laughed it off.

On the contrary, Guan Shanyue was a little unstable on the side, and always wanted to refute it, but was stopped by Huo Yuanzhen.

"It's spotless, you see a few monks in robes over there, it doesn't seem to be from Fawang Temple."

Guan Shanyue followed, and sure enough, several monks in big red robes were sitting in the front row, although they didn't speak, they had a kind of arrogant meaning, as if they were one level higher than the identities of the people around them.

"It should be a monk from Daxiangguo Temple, who came with Zen Master Lizhi, and everyone outside said so."

Huo Yuanzhen nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, someone from Daxiangguo Temple is here, and this time the matter is more and more exciting and interesting.
