Five monks sat under the "Mahara Temple" and recited the sutras weakly. This was the evening class every day. In the past, when Shifang Temple was prosperous, dozens of monks squeezed the Mahara Temple together and crowded the Mahara Temple. Everyone recited the sutras together, which was a Buddhist place. But now, not only has the popularity faded and the incense is less, but even the remaining monks are unable to get excited.

The first Pure Trunk was anxious when he saw these things, but he had no choice.

This was the prosperous time of the Li Tang Dynasty. After Li Tang attached himself to Laozi Li Er, he believed in Taoism. All the gods and immortals came out of the mountains. Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others were famous all over the world. Even after the ascension of the throne, there was also an old Taoist Zhang Guo who was drunk and lying in Chang'an. When Taoism became prosperous, the Shimen was declining. Although in order to compete with the Li family, the Shimen once revived the Shimen, but as the Li family regained the Dabao, Taoism once again surpassed the Shimen.

This is a big climate and cannot be fought against by pure faith. In Xiuwu County, there is a small climate. Sun Simiao, a god in the early days of the country, once came nearby to collect herbs and treat diseases, and left a disciple who built the "Medical King Temple". Because of the remains of the living immortal Sun Simiao, the people from all over the country went to the Medicine King Temple to burn incense and seek the gods. In this way, the incense in Shifang Temple will naturally become worse day by day.

Even the originally large-scale temple buildings now have only two barely intact halls and several monks. The mountain gates have long disappeared. From the open main entrance of the Main Hall, you can directly see the statue of Weituo with a blue face.

He took a look like this, and then was stunned for a moment.

Because two people came in from the front door of Weituo Hall and turned to the statue of Weituo behind. The ugly one among them looked back at the statue of Weituo, and said in a rough voice: "My master said that when entering a temple, the first thing is to see the demon-subduing pestle in the hand of Weituo Bodhisattva. If it is carried on the shoulder, it is a big temple. I just need to eat and live in it. I can entertain me for three days. If the pestle is flat in my hand, I can eat and live in it for one day. But if it is leaning on the ground, it is a small temple. It will be difficult for me to eat and live in it for free... Amitabha, this is a big temple, and I can rest here for a few days!"

Of course, Ye Chang and the Mangtoutuo came. They walked along the way. Ye Chang already knew that the name of this Dangtou was Shi Shanzhi. He was originally an orphan who had no father or mother at the foot of Songshan Mountain. He was taken in as a disciple by the monk Daoxuan. Later, Daoxuan returned to Dafuxian Temple. He could not stand the rules in the temple, so he came out to wander around. Don’t look ugly, but his heart was extremely kind.

When Shanzhi heard the story of the Wei Tuo pestle, Ye Chang looked at Na Wei Tuo and was surprised: "Master Shanzhi, this Wei Tuo is very similar to you!"

Shi Shanzhi touched his hair, looked at the statue of the god above, and grinned: "So, I am so ugly that I have a reason to be a Buddha..."

His voice was not small, and he was so shocked that the homework in the Main Hall could only be dispersed. A few monks looked at them. Chunxin's head sighed. Now there was not even a guest in the temple, so it was a sin to let these two people come and disturb the Buddhist affairs.

"Two donors..." He could only come forward by himself.

"It's not the donor, I...ah, I am here to rejoice." Shi Shanzhi smiled and said, "I want to bother you for three days, and I'll ask the abbot..."

"Look at how we look now, do we still seem to be able to entertain monks and travelers?" Chunxin sighed again: "In a few days, we will all go out to beg for alms and vegetarian food, so where can we entertain you rice and flour!"

"ah?"

Shi Shanzhi touched his belly and was stunned for a while. Others were honest but not stupid, and they were not completely confused about the world. Seeing the dilapidated temple, he knew that the abbot was right. He originally thought that he had finally found a place to eat, but now it seems... it may not be.

He didn't give up and begged for a few more words, but Chunxin just refused. Ye Chang next to him heard the two monks talking more and more and more. He almost started arguing, so he took a step in the middle and separated them.

"This master, Shifang Temple was originally a big temple, right?" he asked.

"Donor, that happened decades ago. At that time, the old monk was a novice monk and had seen the grand scene at that time."

"The big temple should have a lot of temple products, mountains, forests, fields, etc.... Why did it reach its place today?"

"There are mountains, forests and fields, but now the incense in the temple is not very popular, and all the monks are scattered. Only five or six of us, old and young, cannot be planted, and even hired villagers cannot collect much food. The monks in the temple are farming and feeding themselves, and they really have no spare time to help the monks traveling around..."

"So that's the case. In the final analysis, it's still a matter of incense." Ye Chang thought to himself. He glanced at Shi Shanzhi and then looked back at the statue of Wei Tuo.

"I have a way to make the incense of Shifang Temple better... but I want this Master Shanzhi to hold a few days' orders for you." He said with a smile.

"You are really a young man, and there is no limit to bragging. You young monk also recognize you. Isn't it just the Shiyilang of the Ye family at the foot of the mountain? What skills do you have? Who doesn't know about everyone in the village?"

Chunxin had not answered yet, another monk who followed him came up to interrupt.

Among the monks in the temple, this monk is still young, and he is dressed neatly. Chun Xin looked back at him and looked at Ye Chang again: "Dao Ning, do you know this little Tan Yue?"

"I recognize that my disciple's family is in Xiaoliu Village. The youngest sister married a distant nephew of my disciple's family. He was used to being lazy and just wanted to collect herbs and refine pills, and had a good relationship with Luo Shouyi of the Medicine King Temple..."

Ye Chang scratched his head, it was obvious that he had offended Dao Ning before, so he would nag and say bad things about him at this time.

Sure enough, Chunxin, who originally had hope in his eyes, became disappointed again. He said, "The mountain gate will be closed, you two should go down the mountain and don't throw it."

"Master Chunxin, now that Baosha looks like this, he should treat dead horses as living horses." Ye Chang didn't say much: "There is only one chance, or does this Master Daoning have a better way to make Shifang Temple prosperous?"

When Dao Ning saw the master turn to him, he immediately shrank his neck.

He had any good ideas, even if there was a good idea, he would not say it. He wished that all the monks in Shifang Temple would disperse and leave only himself. At that time, he brought the temple property to return to secular life, and was afraid that there would be no days of eating delicious food and drinking spicy food?

"Xiao Tanyue tells you how to revive the incense of our temple."

"It's just asking the Bodhisattva to descend the miracle of treasure light." Ye Chang smiled.

If there is a true Buddha and a true god in all temples, the incense will naturally be strong, otherwise the incense will be decayed. Hearing Ye Chang's words, Monk Dao Ning stretched out his neck and snatched and said, "What a big tone, you say it's like a Bodhisattva Buddha. If you ask them to descend miracles, they will come?"

Ye Chang had a smile on his face and looked unpredictable and profound. He stared at Chunxin. Chunxin pondered for a while. Although Daoning said that this young man had no ability, he would never lose anything when he listened to his methods.

"Xiao Tanyue invited the abbot's room to talk to him. Dao Ning, you can take a look outside first."

Dao Ning's face was a little embarrassed. The headmaster said this clearly to tell him not to argue with Ye Chang.

When they entered the so-called abbot's room, Ye Chang saw Dao Ning following behind and leaned over, and said to Shi Shan with a smile: "Mang Toutuo, look at the door and don't let irrelevant people approach. My method will not work if others hear it."

Shi Shanzhi responded and really stood in front of the door. Dao Ning looked behind him and could only stop, secretly calling the boy cunning in his heart.

He thought about what Ye Chang could do. After thinking about it, he wanted to invite a Bodhisattva to descend miracles, and that he would have to be able to achieve it with endless magic power. At least in his opinion, neither the Pure Trust nor the boy named Ye did not have this ability.

"This kid must be bragging, and he will definitely be driven out by the head!"

Thinking of the situation when Ye Chang came out in a mess after a while, Dao Ning laughed. Seeing him like this, Shi Shanzhi spat: "That monk, could he steal the meat and smiled like a slutty!"

"You just stole the meat to eat, you are a head-to-do who does not follow the rules!" Dao Ning was furious.

"I am a martial monk, Emperor Taizong approved that I can eat meat like me!" Shi Shan said in a muffled voice.

However, Dao Ning didn't know that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was grateful for the thirteen-stick monks in Shaolin Temple in Songshan, and was proud of the fact that the monk could eat meat. He heard that the Mangtou Tuo had really admitted to eating meat, and he immediately jumped up: "Okay, Mangtou Tuo, you actually really eat meat, Amitabha, you have sinned!"

"The first master, this master from the Guiji Temple, really wants to teach you well. The incense will be very popular in the future. If this master comes out to meet the guests and is so ignorant, wouldn't it just make people laugh?" Dao Ning was about to argue with Shi Shanzhi, but at this moment, Ye Chang came out again. The first master followed him almost respectfully, with excitement in his eyes.

"Master, this head of the lord actually eats meat!" Dao Ning was surprised, but he didn't know what Ye Chang used to touch Chunxin. He thought about not paying attention to it and then complaining: "He is indiscriminate to my rules and regulations, and he should really drive it out!"

"Master, look, he made a joke again. Buddhism is not allowed to eat meat. It is just the order of Emperor Wu of Liang to steal the bell. When did it become the Buddhist rules and regulations?" Ye Chang turned around and said.

"Yes, yes, Tan Yue said...Dao Ning, if you have nothing to do, go copy the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra ten volumes, go quickly!" Chunxin glared at him, after all, he had some majesty.

Dao Ning was stunned. Because there were no people available in the temple, he had always been Chunxin's most trusted disciple. He also thought he was the next first candidate. Chunxin always paid attention to leaving his face for him. It was never before that he scolded him like he is now!

"Master, what magic did this kid use to actually bewitch you?"

"Hehe..." Ye Chang shook his head with a smile again.

"Du, nonsense, and you are angry, and you are not going to go back to copy the scriptures?" Chunxin was also a little embarrassed and angry. He saw that this Dao Ning was quite respectful on weekdays, so he looked at him a little differently. Why is this guy so unhappy today?

No matter whether Dao Ning wanted to do so or not, he could only swallow his anger and retreat. Ye Chang called Shi Shanzhi aside and whispered a few words. Shi Shanzhi nodded with a smile when he heard this, and then stood beside Chunxin. Obviously, Chunxin left him. Dao Ning, who had left far away, was really angry and puzzled when he saw this scene. Chunxin was not the head of generous. There were more than one or two Youfang monks who had driven away in Shifang Temple in recent years, but for some reason, this meat-eating Toutuo was able to stay!

It must be the sweet words of the Ye family's eleventh son... I'll endure it first. After this period of endurance, I'll talk about it when the Ye family's idea is ineffective.

With such an idea, Dao Ning didn't say anything else. Seeing Chunxin send Ye Chang out of the gate and then to the intersection of the mountain, if Ye Chang hadn't turned around and refused, he would have been sent to the foot of the mountain.

Ye Chang went down the mountain and slowly shook back towards Wu Zepi, with a faint joy rising in his heart. The dilemma of Shifang Temple was an opportunity for him. He was actually helping Shifang Temple.

If this time goes well, then he will gain a firm foothold when he comes to this era. Even if there are any mistakes, it can be explained.

When I returned to my home, I heard someone talking inside before I could enter the door. It seemed that a woman was talking to Xiang'er. When I heard that she was scolding Xiang'er, Ye Chang frowned. Could it be that aunt Liu, who is coming to cause trouble again?

He is not here, and Xiang'er is limited by his identity and age, so he really has no way to deal with it.

He pushed open the door and the sound in the door stopped abruptly. Ye Chang was thinking about how to deal with his aunt Liu, but found that the woman who looked back in the yard was only in her early twenties and was not his aunt Liu.

Moreover, there were more than one, two women, both in their early twenties, and one of them was scolding Xiang'er. However, although Xiang'er lowered her head to listen to the training, she was not angry or afraid of her appearance, and she seemed a little obedient.

"Brother Eleven, you are back!"

The woman who scolded Xiang'er reacted quickly and immediately smiled and came to meet her. Her smile was very real, not like the kind of fake smile that was knocked out by someone. Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, swallowed the question back if he was about to ask. He glanced at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er was very smart and knew that Ye Chang had forgotten almost the past, so she reminded him: "This is the eldest sister of the second branch."

"Big sister..." Ye Chang was still a little surprised.

The woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and she bit her lip and cried: "My miserable brother... I just said that you had abscess disease. I still said that it was her. Xiao Hu. Now I can't even recognize my sister... Parents, it's a bad daughter, and I didn't take good care of my brother..."

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Ye Chang felt strange in his heart. The eldest sister of the second branch, also known as his father and brother, is just his cousin, why is she not worse than the new brother?

"Auntie, don't cry, you blame us..." Another woman next to her said in a verbal voice, her face full of shame.

"I really blame you. If it weren't for the bad idea you and your elder brother, how could the mistress have reached this state... If you had known that you would have made such a decision, I would not marry even if I died. I would always keep my younger brother and make him promising. It would always be better than the current heir who is not a father or a mother who does not love!"
