72. Rebuild the temple and rebuild the golden body
Wanma Temple is indeed finished.
Cheng Jun and the little monk took the remaining eight monks, including Guanghua Guangyuan, and after easily extinguishing all the fires, they swept through the devastated Wanma Temple, and they all had this feeling.
Wanma Temple used to be the residence of more than 100 monks, and there were more people at its peak, covering a vast area as you can imagine. After Yue Hua Lao Dao occupied the Wanma Temple, Rao was he put on all the pomp, and only lived in one-tenth of the place, and the rest of the place was not cleaned up much, but it was not much waste. When the people of Wanma Temple came back, they cleaned up Wanma Temple, but they were half cleaned up, and nearly half of the place was temporarily idle. Although the number of monks in the temple is much smaller, the precepts are strict, and half of the Wanma Temple is arranged in an orderly manner and is very clean.
When those fake monks really entered the Wanma Temple, they didn't care so much, they were all rude men fighting on the rivers and lakes, how could they have considered what the environment of the Wanma Temple was? Moreover, there were many people, and the houses were already reluctant, eating, drinking, gambling and playing in the temple, doing everything, and ruining the holy land of Buddhism. Where can the six miscellaneous monks left clean up, just do some faΓ§ade work and clean up the first few Buddha halls.
Now it's so burning, but it's even better, and even cleaning is saved. The thief set fire everywhere, from the main hall all the way to the back, from the Buddha hall to the front and rear halls to the houses where the monks lived. Thanks to Cheng Jun's early departure, he saved the scripture building and kept the important property in the temple, but the remaining houses burned a lot. The roof alone burned or collapsed is only 12 out of 10, but nearly half of the ones were somewhat damaged by the fire.
Only a few people died, the houses burned in a mess, and the stored materials were wasted by the robbers, and this is the current situation in Wanma Temple.
The little monk Rao is smart and capable, and he is also discouraged when he sees such a situation, standing on the top of the pagoda, overlooking the verdant Wanyun Valley, he was distracted for a moment, and finally made a decision and got off the tower.
In the evening, the little monk discussed with Cheng Jun: "Now that I am poor and white here, it is okay, the original people are gone, and I start from scratch, so I may not be able to establish a foundation." I plan to rebuild Manma Temple and merge it with the Motoku Lower Temple to establish a new temple. It's just that I've set myself up as the host, I wonder if there will be trouble on the official side?"
Cheng Jun said: "I don't think it's a big deal. Sheng Tian has very few approvals for Buddhist temples, but the control is not strict. As long as it is a temple that is built in a serious way and does not occupy farmland, as long as there are documents, no one will investigate who will preside over it and how many monks there are. If it's a Taoist temple, hehe, it's a thousand difficulties. Wanma Temple is also a serious temple, there should still be documents, you see how to draw the range?"
The little monk said: "There is also a temple property deed painted by the Shengtian Imperial Court, in addition to the three and a half acres of Wanma Temple, there are also ten tilts of land in Wanyun Valley that are counted as temple properties." It's just that our Wanma Temple used to be full of incense, and there were incense shops for rent in the county, and it was more than enough to collect rent and donations every year, and it was more than enough to collect rent and donations every year, so the land in Wanyun Valley was deserted. β
Cheng Jun said: "It's a pity that the climate of Wanma Mountain is so cold, only this place in Wanyun Valley can be cultivated, and it is still deserted." The mountain people outside have no land to cultivate. β
The little monk said, "I am planning to reclaim the wasteland. Seven or eight of us are not of maximum use, so I plan to divide the temple property and rent it to the mountain people for planting. β
Cheng Jun said: "That's not bad. But mountain people don't usually farm, so you need to prepare seeds, farm tools and even ploughing cattle to make it easier to attract people to plant. β
The little monk said: "The temple on our side should also be repaired, and we also ask the villagers in the mountains to contribute, and we will pay for it." While they are repairing, we will go out to do these things, and then observe the surnames of these villagers, and if they can be trusted, it should be okay to keep them down and rent the land when the time comes. β
Cheng Jun heard him have a lot of ideas, nodded and said, "That's okay." If you have money, you can do it. β
The little monk said: "Wanma Temple has no money, and a little savings are wasted for those robbers." However, Master Dafang left a sum of money, which was originally a preparation fund for the revitalization of the Yuankong Lower Courtyard, and I am also here to prepare for the revival of the Yuankong Lower Courtyard, and it is okay to use some. If everything goes well, there will be rent in the coming year, and there may be no profit or loss. β
Cheng Jun didn't say anything, listened to the little monk's plan with a smile, and only praised it. The little monk is smart, and after some experience, he can naturally become a great weapon.
The little monk spoke for a while, and suddenly said, "Uncle Shi, I have something to ask for." β
Cheng Jun said: "You say." β
The little monk said: "Although I don't know why you are in Wanma Temple, there is always your business, and I can't interfere." But Wanma Temple is now in urgent need of manpower, and Uncle Shi has great powers, so he can sit in the center and be the support of our Wanma Temple. I would like to ask Uncle Shi to stay longer. β
Cheng Jun said: "How much do you say?"
The little monk said: "It's the end of March now, I ask my uncle to stay until the end of the year, and when this stubble of millet is harvested, the fields are reclaimed, and Wanyun Valley is stable, can my uncle travel the world again?"
Cheng Jun has nothing to do with Wanma Temple, but he also has some affection with the little monk. Moreover, he took away the treasures of the underground palace of Wanma Temple, and it was considered that there was some cause and effect here, and a year and a half was nothing, so he nodded and said, "Okay." During the year, if you have any needs, I can cooperate. β
The little monk was overjoyed and said, "Uncle Shi and I want to go to one place." I just want to ask my uncle to make some miracles to show the miracle of the Buddha here, first, to convince the villagers, and secondly, to restore the incense in the temple. β
Cheng Jun said: "I can naturally do this." But I need to say that to show results, it is best not to involve the national economy and people's livelihood. What kind of wind and rain are smooth, what grains are abundant, and the incense of these big items is all held in the hands of the Daomen. Now that the Shengtian Buddha Gate is in decline, if you have a great reputation, the Dao Gate will not be able to tolerate it. β
The little monk was stunned and said, "Then what do we do?"
Cheng Jun said: "Make some side reputations - such as asking for a son and giving a child, these small names will not hurt." β
The corners of the little monk's mouth twitched, and he said, "This...... How do you get this?"
Cheng Jun said: "If you don't go well with your son, it's nothing more than the disharmony between men and women." I set up two pills to treat this incurable disease, you decoction the herbs, and then get a fragrant ash or something to wrap it, and I will show some miracles of sending the son to the mother, and cure a few old cases, and your reputation will be out. When the time comes, with the miracle of sending the Bodhisattva, there is no worry about the incense not being prosperous. When the inhabitants have received the benefits of your temple, they will naturally be respected, and there will be no discord. β
The little monk said, "That...... Isn't that a pretend?"
Cheng Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't we going to do this?"
The little monk scratched his head and finally said, "That's ...... There is Uncle Lao. β
March 27, sunny, auspicious. It is advisable to enter the house, open the market, and receive printing.
In Manma Temple, a small ceremony was held. Kongren received the Yin Wanma Temple, and asked the Dabao Zen Master to ascend to the Taishang Elder, the Guanghua Zen Master to ascend to the first seat, and the Guangyuan Zen Master to ascend to the Prison Temple, and the rest of the people all have arranged their duties.
At the succession ceremony, Kongren promulgated a new edict of the head of the house, opened the mountain gate, reorganized the temple, and replanned the Wanyun Valley. Cultivate ten high-quality fertile land, employ hundreds of villagers, and introduce villages in Wanyun Valley to arrange.
On April 1, there was a big pilgrim Fang Mou, who gave hundreds of taels of gold to Wanma Temple, rebuilt the temple, and then molded the golden body. The empty ninja then hired dozens of lifu to rest and renovate the Ten Thousand Horse Temple.
The Nalifu repaired the temple in Wanma Temple, and secretly heard rumors that the reason why the mysterious pilgrim spent a lot of money was because the Bodhisattva of Wanma Temple had a miracle of sending a child, and the pilgrim's decades of chronic illness were eliminated overnight and a son was obtained. Some people even swore that they saw the mother who sent her son from the sky and fell into the Buddha hall, but they were afraid that this temple would be miraculous.
This message spread quickly, one to ten, ten to hundred, among the villagers there are childless believers in Buddhism inevitably come to the door to ask for children, but there are many fulfillments. In this way, the pilgrims of Wanma Temple gathered, and there were thousands of miles to come to worship the Buddha and ask for children, and the fireworks were full of fireworks, revealing the image of prosperity.
There are both incense, there are also villagers who are willing to send their sons to the monks to repay their wishes, and there are wandering monks who place orders here and even enter the temple, one and two, the monks in the temple gradually increased, and many of the original shelved duties were also supplemented by new people.
Cheng Jun coldly watched Wanma Temple flourish little by little, and he also had a lot of credit. But he didn't take it to heart, and the day he was waiting for finally came.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the Duanyang Festival.
