The sound of pious chanting wafted in the small temple, and the smoke of incense lingered over the temple for a long time. When did there become an extra temple in this barren land?

The temple is not big, a gate, three temples, and a small courtyard behind it, compared to the high door, it seems that there are two points. However, behind this temple, dozens of acres of fertile fields have been opened, and green high branches have also been planted on the ridges around the fields.

This temple has a very strange name - the Monk's Temple!

Yes, he is called the Monk Temple, and the monks live in it.

In today's Central Plains, not many people know about monks, and everyone does not understand the meaning of the bald monk. There are also temples in some prosperous areas, but the sound waves have not yet reached this remote place, let alone a barren place where there are no people for hundreds of miles.

However, although the land is barren, there are many bald monks in the temple.

In the main hall, there are three chanters, knocking on the wooden fish, holding the Buddha beads, with peaceful faces and extremely pious. These three monks are not very old, and they look like they are only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The two monks in the left side hall are sweeping the dust and wiping the image of the three cleans.

Yes, it is the statue of Sanqing, a monk temple, there is a statue of Sanqing, strange!

In the right side hall, the worship is not those Buddhas such as arhats and bodhisattvas, but the kings of the human race, with three emperors and five emperors, and all kinds of great sages. As for the main hall, it is the Buddhist figures that are worshipped.

The human race, Buddhism, and Taoism have all gathered in this small temple, and this monk temple is absolutely strange and different.

Needless to say, there are such ideas and actions. Who else could it be besides Bai Xiaosheng.

Where did Bai Xiaosheng go?

He was in the fertile field that was being opened up, and he personally took the three of them. Cultivating crops.

"Amitabha!" reciting the Buddha's name, Bai Xiaosheng said with a big grin: "Life is in the world." It's nothing more than eating, drinking, and sleeping. If you don't work, how can you eat and drink enough? Without this, you can't pull it out if you want to, and you have to wake up when you sleep. I, a monk temple, study Buddhist teachings, but whether it is Taoism or Buddhism. The foundation is to live, that is, to eat and drink, so every qiē must start from labor. You three boys are new here, and you have had a hard time eating and drinking. When you come to me, I won't leave you to eat and drink, but you will get something for your hard work. If you don't work, don't even think about eating and drinking. ”

"There are eight people in my temple, and you are three or three. That's eleven people. When the seven little ones came, they all began with labor, and you are no exception. ”

This guy, where is the spread of Buddhist teachings. It's all about human morality. But you have to say that these simple words are very true, and they are much better than any Buddhist and Taoist teachings. At least the three of them accepted it as soon as they heard it, and they accepted it happily.

The three of them were paupers. It was difficult to eat and drink, so he followed Bai Xiaosheng to the monk's temple. shaved his head and became a monk in his mouth. If you ask them to recite the scriptures, they can't read, so it's better to have a good time from work.

Bai Xiaosheng cultivates Buddhism, but he doesn't want to be a monk himself, he just hopes to understand the teachings of Buddhism, so as to spread the art of Buddhist practice and improve his own heavenly way.

Besides, the monks in history are synonymous with scolding, and those bald donkeys who don't have to work are still nothing good. He opened up a monk's temple, and he had to be responsible for it, and he couldn't let them become landlord-like figures.

If that's the case, you can't be angry with him.

"Abbot, abbot, no, a group of people came in the distance. ”

The immature voice sounded behind him, Bai Xiaosheng looked back, walked quickly angrily, and grabbed the person who spoke, this is a young monk in his teens.

"Didn't I tell you? ”

The little monk sneered and said, "Abbot, aren't I in a hurry?"

"Hmph!" Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him angrily and said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

The temple is built on the mountain, and the back mountain is a wasteland, which has been opened up into farmland, with mountains on the east side and a trail on the west side. Those who come come from the west.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at it from a distance, frowned, and said, "Xuanzheng, it should be a group of refugees here, you go and inform your senior brother Xuanku, let him prepare water and food, and entertain these people well." ”

"Yes!" the little monk Xuanzheng folded his hands, bowed, and walked away quickly.

Bai Xiaosheng stood on the road outside the temple, quietly watching the refugees who staggered. Among them were the elderly, women, children, and a few young and able-bodied.

Outside the temple, the refugees stopped, and when the two young men saw Bai Xiaosheng, they immediately stepped forward and arched their hands: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

Bai Xiaosheng put his hands in his hands, recited Amitabha, and said: "The poor monk is the abbot of this place, and this monk temple is built by the poor monk." Look at your faces, you should be a poor homeless person. I still have some food here, so if you don't dislike it, let's rest for the time being. ”

The two young men looked happy, and one said: "Thank you abbot, thank you abbot." The other man turned his head and shouted, "Stop and rest, our master has prepared food and drink for us." ”

The buzz immediately became lively, these people have been hungry for a long time, although they still have food and drink, but they are pitiful, and they can't eat enough at every meal. At this time, I was unexpectedly happy, and I was happy one by one.

Soon, two monks in the temple came out with a large cauldron, set up firewood, added white water, and the fire raged. After the water was boiled, Bai Xiaosheng asked the monks to sprinkle a lot of millet and boil a pot of paste porridge to appetize these people.

He watched everyone busy, walked up to Yiqingzhuang, and asked, "This donor, I don't know where you are going?"

Qingzhuang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't hide it from the abbot, we don't know, we just walked all the way." If you have something to eat, you can rest your feet, and if you don't have it, you can only go. ”

Bai Xiaosheng said: "In this way, when is the head! I think, it is better for you to settle down here! This place is remote, and the war outside will not affect this place. You can make your home in the open space. I've carved out some farmland and some grain here, which should help you get through this. ”

Qingzhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "So, the little one is very grateful." Please wait a minute, abbot, and I'll go and discuss it with you. ”

He pulled a few people together, and a few old people gathered together, and discussed loudly. After a while, they came back together and bowed to Bai Xiaosheng: "Thank you Abbot, I can't thank you enough!"

Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly helped these people up, and said with a smile: "The poor monks set up a temple here to avoid the war outside. Everyone is here, it is a lively and poor monk can't ask for it. ”

Everyone quickly discussed, Bai Xiaosheng took a few young people to walk around, and finally selected a vacant land as the location of the village. He pulled all the monks out and asked them to help the villagers and build houses.

At this time, it is not difficult to build a house, but it is very simple to build, Bai Xiaosheng pulled these people to settle here, not to mention giving them the best, but it can't be bad. He first asked everyone to live in the temple, although there was not much space, but they could squeeze in. Then he took the young men and monks to polish the rocks, dig the foundation, build the houses, and build the courtyard walls. With his help, many things will be much easier.

Let's just say that this polishing of mountain rocks is not a simple job, it is a laborious job. But Bai Xiaosheng is here, just a few clicks. In this way, a lot of time is saved. Over there, after digging the foundation, the rocks on this side will be fine.

In less than a month's effort, the simple houses were erected one by one.

The houses are very simple, each house is connected, a large room with two small rooms, not much space, just like two bungalows now. But for these refugees, the house that Bai Xiaosheng led everyone to build was very good.

Just this one made these people grin.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the houses and farmland were opened up one by one, and the originally deserted place became popular, and the atmosphere seemed to have changed.

Such a cheerful atmosphere made Bai Xiaosheng feel more happy. He built temples and recruited disciples, in fact, he had the idea of building villages and cities here. It's just that he has to come step by step, but now that the refugees have come, they have also given him a chance.

He was completely sure that with his own means, it would only become more and more lively and prosperous.

At that time, his monk's temple will definitely spread. In this way, he doesn't have to go to other monks, they will come to the door. (To be continued......)
