Chapter 6 Compassion is But Bodhisattva
"Liu Gui, sweep the floor in the yard."
"Liu Gui, fill the water in the water tank."
"Liu Gui, the house is out of firewood, so I went to the mountain to carry two loads of firewood back."
"Liu Gui..."
Since he was placed beside Ye Chang, Liu Gui has never stopped. Ye Chang really used him as a horse and kept calling him. After Liu's instructions, Liu Gui thought about three belongings worth hundreds of stagnant coins, and thought about the rewards he could get afterwards, so he could only endure all of them.
"Okay, let me go out with my work." In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Chang called him, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"I really think of myself as a young master, but I am just the heir to the dilapidated family!"
Seeing him like this, Liu Gui muttered behind him and reluctantly followed him.
"Oh, by the way, carry a kettle. Let's go to the fields today. If the weather continues to drought, it will be completely harvested in the second half of the year. By then, you will have to sell the property - fortunately, my aunt will send you here and sell you a servant. The rice and grain you get will be enough for Xianger and I to eat and chew for some time?"
Liu Gui was almost creepy when he said this, but at this moment he could only bear it. He filled a gourd with water and wanted to come out, but Ye Chang called him again: "What kind of water are you filling? The boiling water you want to boil is not the raw water you just scoop from the jar!"
"You!" Liu Gui could hardly help it, but when he thought of Liu's promise, he still suppressed his anger.
This time it was not Ye Chang who deliberately made things difficult for him. Since he came to this life, Ye Chang has paid great attention to water hygiene. This is an era when diseases can kill people!
With a follower, Ye Chang went out of the door and felt that his hands were empty. It would be great if there was another folding fan in his hand. He was not in a hurry and turned around and looked for a palm-leaf fan in his hand. He saw something was wrong. He imitated Zheng Banqiao's brushwork on the palm-leaf fan and wrote the four words "Rare to be confused".
Then he went out.
Wu Zepi was originally an ancient town, so it is named after it. But now there are only more than 200 families, which is just a larger village. Although the sparrows are small, they are all complete, and there are some basic commercial shops in the village, such as barbers, which are not short of them. Ye Chang asked Liu Gui to lead the way, and soon arrived in front of the shop and saw several people gathering outside the shop and pointing fingers.
"Little Guizi, go and ask, what's going on?" Ye Chang asked.
In terms of age, Liu Gui can definitely be Ye Chang's father, but he was so angry that he got goosebumps all over his body by saying "Little Guizi".
But I can't stop going.
"This is the lady's order, this is the lady's order. As long as I keep a close eye on this little beast, I will have the day to deal with him!" After muttering in my heart several times, Liu Gui controlled his emotions and stepped forward to inquire about the news.
Then I realized that in the morning, a monk from Shifang Temple on the mountain called himself a monk. After asking the barber to finish his hair, he found that he did not bring money. The barber had a bad temper and even broke the trees in front of the barber's door with one shoulder, and then apologized to the barber and asked the barber to go with him to withdraw money from the temple.
But when the barber saw that he was so strong, he dared not leave the village with him. He was afraid that he would smash his own property for dinner when he fought, so he said he had no time and asked him to go back to the temple first. Although the Toutuo was a rash monk, he was still reasonable and said that he would wait for him to come to get money on the mountain, but it was only a matter of five cents and would definitely admit it.
The barber originally wanted to admit that he was unlucky, but in the afternoon, a idle person passed by and saw the tree in front of the door fell. He asked a lot of trouble for a while, and the barber talked about this. Wu Zepi was all fellow villagers in the village. They all became angry and shouted that they wanted to go up the mountain to find the bad luck of the head.
"Not only do he have to pay for his headshaving, he also has to pay for the tree!"
"That's right, that's... huh, isn't this the Ye family's Shiyilang? You were hit by the broom star, so that's all right now?"
"I have recovered a long time ago. The monks on this mountain are so lifeless that they have no reason. Let's go find their theory together?"
"That's right, I went up the mountain to go to the theory and went to the mountain to ask for rain a few days ago. The monk there was named Dao Ning. He actually said that we were not sincere in worshiping the Buddha, so there was no rain. We asked us to take three animals, six rituals, incense, fruits and vegetables to worship the Buddha before it rained... I'm apologized, when the bastard monk saw that his eyes were slim, he knew that he was a wine and meat monk!"
Everyone laughed: "Go together, go together!"
At this time, the drought was severe. Because there was no one to organize it, the people in the village lived in their spare time. It was boring. Under the instigation of everyone, the barber also mustered up the courage and went to Shifang Temple with everyone. He laughed and laughed all the way. Ye Chang was always teased by the broom star. Liu Gui was relieved, but he found that whenever others laughed at him, Ye Chang would divert the topic to worship Buddha and pray for rain. Moreover, he was very good at speaking, which was completely different from the cowardly boy who dared not speak in the past.
When everyone arrived at Shifang Temple, so many people had already alarmed the monks in the temple. The monks stood in front of them. The leader was the first Chunxin. When asked about the purpose of everyone, Chunxin said, "Amitabha": "Dear donors, there are only five monks in Shifang Temple. Now four of them are here, and there is another Dao Ning. Now they have entered the mountain woodcutter to cut them off, but everyone knows him... but there is no Mangtou Tuo."
"Impossible, the monk kept saying that it was from your Shifang Temple, and the robes on him and the handwriting of your Shifang Temple." said the barber.
"The handwriting of Shifang Temple?"
"He said it himself, and wrote the three words Shifang Temple on his cassock."
"How could this happen? Writing on the cassock... Look at the cassock on our body, which one wrote the text?" A monk couldn't help but say.
Everyone thought it was true, and writing on the cassock was too bizarre. But at this moment, a little shakily said, "Master... Master, there is a cassock... that has indeed written on it."
"Mencius does not lie, do not talk nonsense..." Chunxin said with a change of expression.
"Let him say, let him say!" When everyone heard that there was a show, they thought that the little novice monk was a childish voice, so they started to shout. Chunxin was clamoring and his ears were buzzing. He had no choice but to let the little novice monk say it.
"I... I'll take everyone to see." Xiao Shami's face turned red and she couldn't speak smoothly, so she just led everyone to the temple. Everyone was in it, because dozens of people came, all of whom were young and strong, and almost all of them were crowded with the yard.
"Here!" Xiao Shami turned around and pointed to the front hall and said.
Everyone turned around and saw the statue of Weituo. Although the statue of Weituo in Shifang Temple was wearing armor, it was covered with a cassock outside the armor. The corner of the robes did contain the three words "Shifang Temple".
But the robes of the statue of the god were painted after all, so they were not taken seriously. Everyone was about to shout, but the barber said tremblingly: "It's... it's him, it's this... this rampant monk!"
Everyone was stunned and saw the barber shaking hands, pointing at the statue of Weituo, his eyes full of fear!
"Yes, it's him!" Some of them came with the barber and saw the mangirl in the morning. Now, when they saw the statue of Wei Tuo, they couldn't help but scream.
In fact, the statue of Wei Tuo and the Mangtou Tuo are just five or six parts, but they have preconceived ideas. There are handwriting on the robe and the barbers' identification. No matter whether they have seen it or not, they only think that Wei Tuo is really a saint. Someone who is looking at the Buddha in his heart suddenly became scared and kneeled down. People are group animals, and some people take the lead, and some people follow. For a moment, everyone kneels down, begging for mercy or apologizing for guilt, for fear that the matter of asking for money from Wei Tuo on this trip will cause God's punishment.
Of course, there are also those who are bold and unbelievable, for example, Ye Chang did not kneel down.
Not only did he not kneel down, he took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to look at Wei Tuo's image clearly, and then he said "Huh": "This... is five cents!"
At the feet of the statue of Weituo, there is a small string of money, which is exactly five words!
Hearing Ye Chang's words, the few people who were not kneeling down like him came forward to see that it was indeed a five-cent paper money, and they were strapped with ropes at the feet of the statue, looking like they were waiting for everyone to come and take it. Everyone remembered the words of the barber and monk Man, and suddenly felt a chill on their heads, as if someone was blowing down on them.
"There are still hair stubble!" Someone also noticed the detail at Wei Tuo's feet and started screaming again.
At this moment, no one stood there anymore, even Ye Chang knelt down!
"Water-Buddha Bodhisattva showed his holy!" Everyone thought so. This link was surrounded by one, and it really made people dare not doubt the others.
"Amitabha!" When everyone murmured that they didn't know what to do, the first pure faith chanted the Buddha's name: "Really... is it Wei Tuo Bodhisattva?"
"Take it seriously, it's absolutely true!" The barber's face turned pale at this time, and his mouth trembled as he spoke.
Ye Chang handed the small string of money to him: "Tsk tsk, your skills are so good. Even the Bodhisattva is looking for you to shave your head... But the Bodhisattva has infinite magic power, why do you want to go down the mountain to shave your head?"
Everyone thought about it, but no one suspected that the Bodhisattva was fake. They just looked at the barber enviously. The Bodhisattva searched for the barber to cut his hair, and probably wanted to bless him. These five pieces of money were given by Wei Tuo. If they were worshipped at home and were competing with Buddhism, wouldn’t they live a long life and enjoy wealth forever?
If you have the intention to turn quickly, you will think about how to get one from the barber.
"If it were Bodhisattva Weituo... the old monk had a dream yesterday. He dreamed that the Bodhisattva told the old monk that the drought has continued to stop recently. He felt compassionate and could not bear to have no harvest in the world. Therefore, he invited a lucky person to come up the mountain and give him a spring to irrigate the fields." Chunxin Heshidao.
"ah?"
At this time, the foot of the mountain had been trapped in Wushui for a long time. Suddenly, when the Bodhisattva taught a spring, everyone was overjoyed. They all looked at Chunxin, waiting for him to tell who was the blessed person.
Chunxin frowned.
Ye Chang's heart was slightly pounding. Until now, the script he designed was normal, but Chun Xin frowned and hesitant, but he felt that things were changing.
Chunxin's eyes slammed in everyone's eyes and muttered in his heart.
So far, his purpose has been achieved. Everyone thought that the Bodhisattva Weituo in Shifang Temple appeared and would proclaim this matter when they returned. It won’t take long for the people in the ten miles and eight villages to know that there will naturally be good men and women coming to offer sacrifices.
But if you continue according to Ye Chang's instructions, you will have to tie the reputation that Shifang Temple has finally recovered with Ye Chang. In this way, if Ye Chang's next plan fails, will the reputation of Shifang Temple be ruined again?
It is not difficult to destroy bridges across the river. Although Chunxin’s first monk is a high-ranking monk, the more he is, the more he has to think about his own temple. In order to expand the Buddhist sect, he can only a little sorry for this little Tan Yue.
Thinking of this, Pure faith and chanted "Amitabha" and then said: "Mencius does not seek lies. The old monk is blessed. He only heard the Bodhisattva say that the man is the stars in the heaven and descend to the earth... The old monk is stupid and does not know the rest."
After saying this, Ye Chang was stunned.
This is completely different from what they made an appointment. According to the scheduled script, Chunxin should say that this person who is lucky is the Ye Family Shiyilang. At that time, the crowd will push him out. He will make a few more nonsense and then take people to open mountains and dig springs.
But now the old monk has changed his hexagram and said, "The stars in the sky come down to the earth" - how can these stars in the sky be so easy to do?
Who said that the ancients were simple and simple? Although they were very compatible with human nature, Ye Chang still underestimated the old monk’s own thoughts.
The old monk didn't look at him at all. If he had to be solemn in his appearance, he would be solemn in his appearance. Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and thought quickly in his mind whether he wanted to trick the old monk into making trouble, and who asked him to break the bridge across the river?
In the eyes of the old monk, his actions were understandable, but in Ye Chang's heart, he had recorded this hatred. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely make the old monk look good.
Although the changes in things were beyond his expectations, they were still under his control. However, the monk was originally going to launch him, a person with great fortune, but now he stood up by himself, and the weight of his words would be reduced.
Just as Ye Chang was thinking about how to appear, someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Stars descend to earth... I know who it is!"
The man's voice was sharp and anxious, and it sounded like he was rushing to say it, fearing that others would take the lead. The person kneeling in the yard looked at the man with a look of surprise on his face.
That person turned out to be Liu Gui!
Liu Gui knelt on the ground with a strange smile on his face. Ye Chang looked at the expression on his face and suddenly jumped in his heart.
This guy jumped out at this time, what do you have to say?
Could it be that he saw his plan, so he jumped out and grew a little so that he could fall a big shot at the start?
This thought arose, making Ye Chang a little irritated. He didn't like this feeling of being out of control of things.
"Liu Gui, what do you know? Don't talk nonsense, don't collide with Master Chunxin."
Wu Zepi is so big that most people know each other, so they are immediately recognized. He is just a servant. Now Ye Chang is the master, and where is his turn to speak? Someone shouted and scolded.
"That's right, Master Chunxin, you have a boundless eye. Look at who are the ones who are blessed. After we go back, we will immediately prepare fruit and vegetable sesame oil to thank you!"
