Chapter 1057: Threshold (I)
"These people are not scary." The master's gaze was retracted from these people, and his tone was slightly serious: "Once we collect these people, the news will spread immediately, and at that time, there will definitely be more people squeezing in. ”
I carefully recalled the master's words, indeed, Qingfeng Temple is not as good as the Great Dao view of Longhu Mountain, most of the rice, flour, grain and oil we usually have are donations from pilgrims, and as for the incense money, it is basically used for the repair and maintenance of the Taoist temple.
It's not easy to sustain itself, and it's a lot of pressure to continue to increase expenses on top of that.
It's not ruthlessness, it's facing reality.
After a pause, the master suddenly laughed: "It's rare that you can think about the previous things clearly." However, when dealing with any problem, it is necessary to take into account not only the present, but also what may happen in the future. ”
Hey, the master's gaze is not many levels higher than me, but there are still a lot of things to learn.
In just a few minutes, the master and I had already reached an agreement - resolutely not to accept it.
On the next side, the master's question was thrown over again: "Expulsion, it definitely won't work, you can think of a way to calm your emotions." ”
Yes, this is a very headache, let them enter the Taoist temple today, they can support you with all their strength today; If you keep them out, they will destroy you with all their might.
How hard you hold it, how much it hurts to fall. This is something that is brought in by human nature, and no one can change it.
A two-pronged approach is very necessary at the moment.
I pondered for a moment and whispered, "I have a solution, maybe I can try." ”
"Huh? You talk about it. ”
"To be a Taoist, there is a threshold, right, master?" I asked rhetorically.
The master pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "How do you say this?" If you don't have to be a Taoist for a lifetime, you can also be a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. ”
I shook my head: "Within three days, memorize the entire "Huang Ting Jing", and we will accept him." ”
Looking at the master's wide eyes, I knew that this answer was not at all within the scope of the master's expectations.
"How much content does the Huang Ting Sutra have, don't you know, memorize it in three days? You're kidding. The master unconsciously lowered his voice.
"Yes, I know that the Huang Ting Sutra covers all the essential techniques of alchemy and qi veins." I replied with a grimace: "That's why we have a reason to keep them out." ”
After hearing this, the master immediately refused: "Although we are not famous, we are decent." We can't do this kind of thing of digging holes for people and deliberately raising the threshold. ”
"Master, special time, special treatment."
The master pondered without saying a word, I took a few steps forward, and said a little anxiously: "Master, you have also seen it, this group of people is in front of you now, do you have a better way?" I know that this is my decision, but this is a decision that can solve the problem at hand, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. ”
The master couldn't help pacing, and said, "Let me think." ”
"I promise you that the reputation of the Taoist temple will be preserved." I said firmly.
The master was still pacing, looking at me with a complicated face: "It's not just reputation, but the rules of the Daomen. ”
I was stunned for a moment, I only thought about countermeasures, but I forgot that the master is a person who follows the ancient law, and the things left by the ancestors have always been regarded as treasures, and he will not question them, let alone change them, and now when he hears my idea, he must be ten thousand unwilling.
However, if you don't want to, you have to be willing, today, I am determined to be this wicked man!
"Master."
My voice was slightly raised, and the master stopped.
"Master, if this group of people stays, the Taoist temple will inevitably increase the burden, and when we can't afford it, we will inevitably dismiss this group of people, and at that time, it will be the real violation of the Three Qings! I admit that we should follow the law, but there is also a saying, it is called not broken, not standing! ”
In the face of my arguments, the master's old-fashioned style finally wavered a little, and he lowered his head and pondered for a while before slowly raising his head.
"How sure are you?"
Although it was the master who asked questions, I knew that I had already won.
As for how sure it is, I don't know.
But I still resolutely responded: "Ninety percent." ”
"That's one percent, what's the difference?"
"The difference is unknown, if there is another emergency, I dare not guarantee that the situation can be controlled."
The master's face was a little complicated, but he finally compromised: "Growth has a price, and I am willing to pay for your growth." ”
