On this day, Zhang Chu's heart flashed with inspiration, and he felt that he should go out for a walk, otherwise, he would always stay in the small shop, and he didn't know how long it would take to get enough merit.

So Zhang Chu said to Ye Lei: "Ye Lei, give you half a day off, I want to go out with the hot pot, and you will come to work tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, boss!" Ye Lei said happily.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chu said to the hot pot: "Hot pot, let's go, go and go to the monk to drink." ”

"Woohoo! Okay grandpa. The hot pot shouted a few times, and immediately followed Zhang Chu away.

Sanssouci Temple.

After Zhang Chu paid the parking fee of thirty yuan, he walked inside with the hot pot.

Now Sanssouci Temple, the incense is vigorous, and there are many visitors to incense.

Zhang Chu walked in with the hot pot, and after walking a few steps, Zhang Chu saw that in front of a merit box, there was a little girl holding a thin iron wire and using the wire to "fish" the money in the merit box.

The girl was about five or six years old, dressed in old clothes, with a red face, and looked a little pitiful.

After a while, the little girl "fished" out a hundred-dollar bill.

After fishing out the money, the little girl knelt in front of the merit box, kowtowed three times, and muttered in a low voice: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, my grandmother has no money to spend, can I get another hundred yuan?" ”

"If you don't agree, shake your head."

"If you don't shake your head, you agree."

After saying that, the little girl raised her little face and looked at the statue carefully, her eyes were very reverent.

As a result, the idol did not shake its head, and the girl immediately carefully took the wire and probed into the merit box again.

When the hot pot saw it, he was immediately unhappy: "Wangwang, grandpa, someone is bullying my brother!" ”

"Who is your brother?" Zhang Chu looked strange.

Hot pot suddenly said: "Wangwang, my brother is ninety-nine, the abbot of Sanssouci Temple, and also your friend." ”

Zhang Chu was speechless for a moment, when did the hot pot bow to Ninety-Nine? How I didn't know!

Of course, Zhang Chu didn't stop the little girl, but took the hot pot and walked straight to the temple.

After turning a few corners and entering the backyard, Zhang Chu finally saw the monk Ninety-Nine.

At this moment, Ninety-Nine was drinking, and Liusu was sitting on Ninety-Nine's lap, and the relationship between the two was excellent.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Zhang Chu pretended to cough.

Ninety-nine heard the voice and immediately looked at Zhang Chu. forehead

Immediately afterwards, Ninety-Nine shouted happily: "Zhang Chu! Come and sit, I said this morning, the magpie in the backyard kept screaming, there will be a noble person coming today, you see, isn't Zhang Chu here. ”

Liu Su moved away from Ninety-nine's thigh, and she nodded slightly towards Zhang Chu: "I'll go get a few dishes." ”

After saying that, Liushu turned around and left.

At this time, Zhang Chu sat opposite Ninety-Nine and said with a smile: "You have a comfortable little life." ”

Ninety-nine is also not modest: "That is, if the monks are not comfortable, then there is no one in this world who can live comfortably." ”

At this time, Zhang Chu said: "By the way, when I came over just now, I saw a little girl taking the money from your merit box, I think, you should know about this." ”

Ninety-nine nodded: "I know, that child's name is Yang Xiaoxi, he is a hard-working child, his parents died in a car accident, leaving her and her grandmother to rely on each other." ”

"Her grandmother's health is not good, she used to live on a few acres of land, and she had to take medicine all year round."

As he spoke, Ninety-Nine drank a glass of wine: "I saw that she was pitiful, so I taught the child that she could use the wire to go to the merit box to fish for money, and when she was asked to fish for money, ask the idol if she agreed." ”

"Huh? You taught her what she said to the gods? Zhang Chu suddenly looked at the monk a little differently.

Ninety-nine stretched out very comfortably: "I taught it, otherwise she wouldn't dare to do it." ”

"Besides, since that box is called a merit box, you should always do something meritorious, right?"

Zhang Chu suddenly thought thoughtfully.

Ninety-nine looked at Zhang Chu: "Are you here for the power of merit?" ”

Zhang Chu was suddenly surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Ninety-nine smiled: "Haha, I have said it a long time ago, I know astronomy and geography, and I can pinch and calculate." ”

Zhang Chu took a closer look at the monk and found that there was really some Xuanmen aura on his body.

"Huh? You can't really tell fortunes, do you? Zhang Chu asked in surprise.

Ninety-nine whispered: "I don't know, but I feel quite magical, sometimes some guests come to me and ask me some questions, I will inexplicably have a flash of inspiration in my mind, I can feel something." ”

"Sometimes I say it casually, and I can say a lot of things."

Zhang Chu immediately said: "You kid, you really have Huigen!" ”

In fact, if you want to learn fortune telling, there is not only one way to learn Taoist magic.

Like a monk, after being close to the gods and Buddhas for a long time, he can also raise a trace of "true spirit", and as long as he can grasp this trace of true spirit, it is entirely possible to have the ability to tell fortunes.

Of course, most monks, without this wisdom and understanding, no matter how long they guard the gods and Buddhas, it is impossible to give birth to this kind of spiritual ability.

But ninety-nine has understanding, and after a long time, it is normal to be able to give birth to some mysterious abilities a little.

At this time, Zhang Chu nodded: "It seems that you have become a senior monk." ”

"Haha, I'm a monk!" Ninety-nine said unashamedly.

At this time, Zhang Chu said: "You are really right, I really want to get some merit power, tell me your opinion on the power of merit." ”

Ninety-nine didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "Doing what you want is merit." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Chu frowned: "Do whatever you want?" ”

Ninety-nine nodded: "That's right, in my opinion, merit cannot be forced, the more deliberately you want to obtain it, the more likely it is that you will not be able to obtain it." ”

"Instead, do what you want, don't think so much, but you can get merit."

Zhang Chu suddenly frowned: "For example? ”

Ninety-nine pointed to the outside of the courtyard: "For example, that little girl, I taught her to take the money in the merit box, not for merit, but simply to see her pitiful and want to help her." ”

"As a result, because of this incident, I have received a lot of merit."

"For example, when I was on Furong Street before, I saw some young ladies standing on the street, for a few hundred yuan, in the cold wind at night, wearing so thin, I would sympathize with them and take care of their business."

"At that time, I didn't care about any merits, I just wanted to take care of their business."

Zhang Chu's face darkened when he heard this: "I think that other people simply want to take care of their business." ”

Ninety-nine nodded: "In short, my point of view is that you can do whatever you want, and you don't need to deliberately force it." ”

"Okay, the two of us are not going the same way, I can't learn from your methods." Zhang Chu said.

Ninety-nine drank a glass of wine lightly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Zhang Chu, if you are in urgent need of merit, I really have a great job." ”

"Huh? What's the big job? Zhang Chu suddenly became interested.

Ninety-nine said in a low voice: "I recently met a big boss, a woman, she took on a big project to build a large area of affordable housing, but there was a problem with her construction site. ”

"She came to me, but I instinctively felt that it might be dangerous for me to go, so I didn't promise her. But if you're willing to help her see it, you might be able to get a lot of merit. ”

Zhang Chu's eyes suddenly lit up: "This can be had!" ”
