Chapter 4: Returning Home
It's a pity that he thinks too much.
Want to pull a network cable on the mountain?
The cost is too high, and the staff of a letter euphemistically said: they will try their best to arrange it, but the time may be later.
Ren Ning couldn't wait, and asked directly, "How late is it later?" Few days? ”
The staff glanced at Ren Ning, who was waiting for a reply, and then said slowly: "Wait a few years." ”
Ren Ning: "......"
It's easy to say, but people say they can't do anything.
What else could he do?
Run to a certain move, and the result is the same.
When Ren Ning returned to the mountain, he was a little depressed, he couldn't connect to the Internet, could it be that he wanted to use the data traffic of his mobile phone?
Daoist Fu Tiancheng happened to see it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ren Ning said about pulling the network cable and complained: "Those people are not willing to pull the network cable to the mountains at all, without the network, I can't do a lot of things." ”
The Taoist chief said with a smile: "Specially pulling a network cable for us, for them, the input and output are disproportionate, so they are naturally unwilling to do it." It's okay, you don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it. ”
And then...... The next day, someone pulled the network cable into the Taoist temple.
Ren Ning didn't have a curiosity and ran to ask the Taoist chief how he did it, in his mind, this kind of thing shouldn't be a big deal for the Taoist chief.
It's just that he is a little curious, with the ability of the Taoist, if he wants to promote the Lotus View and Taoist culture, it seems that it should not be difficult, right? In addition, it is a little strange that there is no one else in the view except the Taoist chief, why don't you accept a few apprentices, and it's good to help?
However, he then thought that with the ability of the Taoist, he was afraid that he would not bother to get it, right? But he saw on the Internet that Taoist priests are generally relatively high-minded, and the attitude he adheres to has always been "love to believe, not to believe." ”
Ren Ning didn't think so much about the statements on the Internet, after all, he didn't know enough about Taoism, far from enough.
At present, he is only a supernumerary member of the Lotus Temple, even if Daoist Fu said that he wanted to teach him, but after all, he has not started teaching.
In the following days, Ren Ning looked up information on the Internet while learning from Fu Daochang, and listened to Fu Daochang tell the history of the Lotus View and Taoism-related knowledge.
As for the work, well, nothing has been done.
In addition to studying and cultivating every day, that is, cleaning the hygiene of the Taoist temple and cooking rice.
However, he did not forget about his work.
Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has registered an official account of Lotus View on the Internet.
At the beginning, I posted some history about the Lotus Temple, with some various photos of Lotus Mountain.
Slowly, he added some basic knowledge about Taoism that he sorted out to the official account.
Gradually, some netizens who are interested in Taoism have paid attention to the official account.
It's just that there aren't many people who pay attention, and almost no one interacts.
On this day, he discussed with Daoist Fu and said, "Daoist, can our Lotus Temple accept the conversion of some believers?" I look elsewhere, there are places where you can accept believers to submit information online for refuge. One is to increase the stickiness of the believers, and the other is to charge a part of the cost of conversion. ”
This is one of his ideas, after all, if you really want to carry forward the Lotus Temple, don't ask too much, at least restore it to the way it used to be, and expand it, it will definitely not work without money.
Although the cost of conversion will not be too much, at least it is part of the income, isn't it? A little adds up.
Moreover, if it is expanded, it is believed that it will also be able to attract more believers and pilgrims, which will be helpful for the development of Taoist temples and Taoist culture.
Previously, he had made a suggestion to raise donations, but he was vetoed by the Taoist chief.
Fu Daochang looked at Ren Ning with a serious face, smiled, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't hurry, take your time, you see Lao Dao, I'm not in a hurry at this age, what are you anxious about." You must know that 'striking iron still needs its own hardness', and when you cultivate well, it is better than any propaganda. ”
"Therefore, your top priority is to cultivate yourself well first."
Ren Ning saw that Dao Chang had such an attitude, and he really didn't know how to say it. He felt that he was a little hot with the salary of the Taoist temple, and he was sorry for the salary.
However, on second thought, it is true.
In the past three months, I have learned to do morning and evening classes, reciting scriptures with the Taoist master in the morning and evening, and learning basic Taoist knowledge, but it is specific to cultivation...... By the way, what the hell is cultivation?
"Dao Chief, when will you teach me true cultivation?"
At first, he asked many times, but each time the Taoist chief shook his head and only taught him to recite the scriptures. For a long time, I forgot to ask.
Fu Tiancheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the past three months, your heart has finally calmed down, and you can start cultivating." ”
The Taoist chief preached and taught, and from this day on, Ren Ning began his real cultivation.
Standing on piles, punching, meditating, refining qi.
For Ren Ning, these things are very fresh and ...... Tired.
I can only say that I am in pain and happy.
Although I was very tired, I didn't feel very tired when I thought about the scene that the Taoist chief had demonstrated before, and the bronze mirror was flying around me with a finger in his hand.
He also asked the Taoist chief how to use the bronze mirror, but the Taoist smiled but did not answer him.
Well, the time hasn't come yet, be a little patient.
Ren Ning could only comfort himself like this.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost time for the New Year.
Daoist Fu gave Ren Ning a big red envelope and said: "Our temple is different from other Taoist temples, and there are no incense sticks or other activities such as praying for blessings every year, so you can go back for the New Year, and you don't have to rush over after the New Year, and it's not too late to come back after the Lantern Festival at home." ”
Good guys, a month off the road?
This treatment is okay!
"Thank you, Chief!"
Ren Ning happily took the red envelope, cleaned it up briefly, and went down the mountain.
Since he came to the Lotus Temple, it has been nearly four months now, two thousand yuan per month, adding up to eight thousand, eating and living are in the view, he has spent less than 1,000 yuan in total in the past few months, and there are more than 7,000 left, plus the red envelope in his hand, it will be easy to go back for the New Year.
Compared with others' tens of thousands a month, it must not be compared, but Ren Ning is not dissatisfied.
After all, he's just an apprentice.
According to the old rules, the apprentice would not have been paid, and he would have had to pay backwards.
In addition to some New Year's goods, I also bought a set of clothes for my parents and a set for myself, which cost more than 2,000.
Carry the big bags and small bags, take the car, and go home.
His home is in Yongan County, just in the county seat, not far away.
Go home and celebrate the New Year!
