Wet viviparity

Chapter 667: The Past, Dream Maker

"What do you mean by this?"

Ji Ming asked with interest.

"This temple was once in decline, its wealth was plundered by demons, and it has been poor ever since.

For this reason, those who have taken the tonsure may be wearing monk's robes, but their calculations are three times more vicious than those of the common people. A few cups of tea and a few plates of vegetarian fruit are like silver hooks for fishing. No matter whether you are from a poor family or a rich family, you must hand in your merit book.

It is either adding golden statues of Arhats, or rebuilding pagodas, or at the very least, offering eternal lamps as an excuse.

If you meet someone who is willing to give, you will treat him as Shancai Boy and coax him with sweet words every day; if you meet someone who is stingy and refuses, you will scold him as having a heart of stone, secretly curse him in every possible way, and wish you could spit three times in the pool of merit.

"That's hateful."

Jiming smiled.

"The monks here are never content." The Echoing Monk Ghost shook his head and sighed, "There are such fools. They are unwilling to help their own brothers who are freezing and starving, but instead give the whole ingot of silver to the bald donkey. Isn't he just a fool who puts the cart before the horse!"

"The monks in this temple lack guidance, so you have accumulated merit."

Ji Ming said.

"Master, you are right. There was a monk named Dayou in the temple in the past. He was said to be virtuous, but unfortunately he had a short life and no blessings."

Shu Si continued, "Several decades ago, probably before the first Guancai Cave duel, I met this monk. At that time, he was invited by the old man of the Hengshan Fox Society to come to the society to give lectures. There was a lot of Zen in his conversation."

"Senior brother also lived in Hengshan."

"Yes!"

Shu Si sighed and said, "It happened a long time ago. Back then, Old Master Hu treated me well. He and his family moved to another place to avoid disaster. A few years ago, when he heard about my current status, he sent me a letter to keep in touch. I'm afraid he wanted me to take care of the Hu family's children."

"If the Fox family's children are freshmen, they can be used."

Ji Ming said.

"Master, you don't know that Old Master Hu would never be willing to send students from the society. I'm afraid he is recommending some students who have failed the exams many times.

Especially the old master's youngest son, Hu Tuer, who learned a rare art called "puppet show" and wanted to be hired by the Tianhu Academy as an exception, but he failed the exams for decades and became destitute and frustrated. The old master always pleaded with me in his letters, asking me to find him a Yin official position."

"Wherever there is a village, there are foxes. Fox communities in every mountain and village are like ant nests at your feet. They are ubiquitous and not taken seriously. If you can win them over, you can save a lot of money on intelligence investment."

“Yes, I also have this intention, so I have never refused, but I have not agreed either.

Now, we are all united in Heguan, determined to make progress, and have a pure and upright spirit. This spirit is really hard to come by. If we introduce such a bad fox, I am afraid it will distort the atmosphere of the temple."

Rat Four said.

Ji Ming recalled his impression of Hu Tuer, it was a long time ago, and he was generally considered a smart and studious fox, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to call him a bad fox.

"You might as well give it a try."

Ji Ming waved his sleeves and said, "Heguan is tolerant of all things and treats everyone equally. This will not change, nor will it stain this big pond because of one or two bad people. In addition to your duties, you must also create a dream for the children in the temple."

"What dream?"

"Be diligent and frugal, exert yourself, and everyone will have the opportunity, regardless of their status."

"Good dream! It is indeed a good dream!" Shu Si's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "If such a beautiful dream is believed by the common people and the alien tribes, then my great prosperity will not be far away." "Don't complain that there is no jade step at the door of the hut, the iron inkstone will shine by itself after being worn out. If the east wind can lend a force, the green duckweed can also fly to the spiritual sky."

Ji Ming walked and chanted, and was led by the Echoing Monk Ghost to the main gate of the temple. Along the way, the Echoing Monk Ghost introduced the scenery of the temple. In his conversation, he mixed in some self-explanatory words, saying: "The White Lotus Temple is different from other places. I repair the Zen room and scripture pavilion every year, and never ask for alms.

Therefore, the people of the Thirteen Villages said that the monks in this temple were pure, so they worshipped more devoutly. The incense was several times more prosperous than that of ordinary temples, and its bad reputation was reversed in an instant. "

"You have already grasped the right balance when it comes to people's changing minds."

"Master taught me well and enlightened me in a proper way, which made me no longer ignorant of the ghost world and have the wisdom I have today."

In the main hall, in front of the solemn Buddha statue, Ji Ming stopped and stared at it for a while. Suddenly, he asked the Echo Monk Ghost, "Do you know why I asked you to come to this ancient temple and be the abbot?"

The Echo Monk Ghost kept his hands together, glanced at Shu Si, and then hesitantly said, "Aren't you in charge of the Divine Chariot and the Two-Polar Golden Magnet Mother?"

"No need to hide your strength or wisdom."

Ji Mingdao.

"The Divine Chariot and the Stone Mother are too conspicuous and too important for the master to use openly. So the master sent me here. One of the purposes must be to guard these two objects. The other purpose may be related to Buddhism."

"Buddhism!"

Ji Ming sighed with mixed feelings.

He raised his hand and touched the top of the Echoing Monk Ghost's head, and said kindly: "You have always had a predestined relationship with Buddha, but unfortunately, you are limited by the ghost path and it is difficult for you to achieve great things. My original intention was to use the newly obtained spiritual pill to help you turn the calamity around, so as not to betray our friendship.

I didn't know you were so foolish and insisted on staying to serve me. So I will send you to guard the divine chariot and the stone mother until I come back to use them. At the same time, you can also use this precious temple to accumulate more good deeds, so that you will suffer less from the devil's tribulation in the future.

As for Buddhism, you should practice Buddhism diligently, establish the correct understanding of suffering, emptiness, impermanence and non-self, and attain the first fruit as soon as possible, so that I can be of great use to you in the future."

To be honest, Ji Ming hasn’t figured out what the Echo Monk Ghost is good for.

However, he now has a pair of pupil gods living in his eyes, so there is no need to put the Echo Monk Ghost back into the talisman, making it like a nest on his body. Besides, the Monk Ghost knows too many things, which is not good for him.

As if he had a premonition, the Echoing Monk Ghost couldn't help but ask in a plaintive voice, "Master, will I still have the chance to serve you in the future?"

"Build a great temple, guard the treasures, and practice Zen to attain enlightenment. Our relationship will be even deeper in the future!" Ji Ming said, and then he gave the monk a Dharma name, saying, "You always warn me when I'm in danger. Today, I will give you the Dharma name "Wen Kong."

"Wen Kong."

The ghost monk was startled and repeated it silently several times, feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy, beyond words.

He did not have time to sigh much as he led the way ahead, going down the secret passage behind the Buddha statue, through a corridor filled with demon-subduing hand seals, and arrived at a vast secret room where the Qigong Divine Chariot and the two-pole golden magnet mother were both.

In addition, there are more than a hundred grains of Tianhe magic sand. They are like gorgeous blue clouds and indigo spiritual fire. They are scattered and overlapped in the front half of the secret room to prevent external evil from spying.

Ji Ming passed through the Tianhe Magic Sand and came to the front of the Speed ​​Wheel Magic Chariot built by the skilled craftsman Qigong.

The divine chariot was quietly suspended in the void. It had a square shape with two gusty wheels underneath and a flag on top. This flag was an important component of the divine chariot. When Qing Jiao found this flag, it almost helped him turn the tables.

This car is a good car, but it cannot be used openly now.

Ji Ming needed a story to whitewash it, such as he defeated the "Green Dragon" who escaped in the car and seized the car from it.
