Chapter 122 Abbot Fan! 【Favorites】
Otherwise, according to everyone's habits, although the first fragrance is good, it is not necessary to grab it. After all, in previous years, not so many people went to Hongyan Temple to grab the first incense. Most of them stayed at home to set off firecrackers, eat dumplings, and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Now that he knew the reason for everyone's visit, it was easy for Fangzheng to deal with it. He clasped his hands together and proclaimed a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, all benefactors, there is no need to fight or grab. In fact, there is no such thing as head incense. Any temple has I will not promote top incense. The so-called top incense is just something that people have speculated over the years, and it has little meaning in itself.
If you have to talk about the first incense stick, the first incense stick we recognize is the first stick of incense for everyone in the new year. This stick of incense will not change because you are the second, third, or even the last one. He will always burn it. It's your head fragrance.
Sincerity leads to spirit, and striving for the first place is of little significance. As long as you are sincere, my Buddha will naturally bless you and bless you. "
Everyone heard the words and looked at each other in blank dismay, what else is there to say?
At this moment, a villager shouted: "Master Fangzheng, isn't it? Master Wuming said that incense is very important."
"That's right. Master Wuming said that it is a great merit to be able to grab the first stick of incense in the new year. I wish you peace and prosperity!"
"Master Wuming did say that, just now he talked about the merits of Touxiang."
Hearing this, many people looked at Wuming, Wuming complained in his heart, he didn't expect to be betrayed so soon. Of course Fangzheng knew that he was right, because Master Hongyan had said more than once that monks were not allowed to go out to promote the matter of the head incense. It's just that Master Hongyan is getting older, and he seldom cares about outside affairs, and the folks have formed a custom of robbing them all, so he can't come out to chase people away, so he just let him go.
Now that Fangzheng said that, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's from his own family, and it's the first time Fangzheng has a good hair...
It's just that Wuming was both sad and happy in his heart. He was sad to be sold, and he was thinking about how to deal with it. The happy thing was that this little monk didn't know how to manage, and he himself denied the reason why Touxiang was so good at making incense. , is not stupid? It is obviously a good thing for a fool to be a competitor.
Wuming's mind turned quickly, knowing that he couldn't escape, he took a step forward, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk did say that."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present stopped talking and looked at Fangzheng and Wuming one after another. The villagers don't know whether the head incense is good or bad, but Wu Ming and Fang Zheng are both monks, so they should have their own words and it's all about who wins. Whoever wins, listen to whom.
Fangzheng frowned, the top fragrance is everyone's top fragrance, when did it become the top fragrance for everyone to compete for? Isn't this a lie to confuse the public and deceive people? Feeling upset, Fangzheng clasped his hands together and saluted, "May I ask which temple the mage practices in?"
Wuming raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The poor monk has practiced in Hongyan Temple for more than ten years. Master Fangzheng, in terms of seniority, you and I are comparable, but the poor monk is older than you, and you still call me What about senior brother?"
Fangzheng rolled his eyes in his heart, and cursed: "What an old fellow, he wants to take advantage by opening his mouth! Okay, if you want to play, I will accompany you!"
So Fangzheng smiled even brighter, and said with a smile: "Wu Ming, what position does Master Wu Ming have in Hongyan Temple? The poor monk is currently presiding over the abbot of One Finger Temple."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ming's smile froze. He did have a position in Hongyan Temple, but Hongyan Temple was just a small and medium-sized temple... It would be embarrassing to say that position! Although Fangzheng's One Finger Temple is smaller, he is the presiding abbot! Pull it over, it is at the same level as Zen Master Hongyan! With such a comparison, Wu Ming was suddenly a head shorter than Fang Zheng.
Wu Ming said with a smile on his face: "Monks, these cumbersome things don't matter. Master Fangzheng, the first incense is the most important thing, why is it so light in your mouth? Or, you have already prepared this incense. Who is it for?"
Fangzheng finally understood, this Wuming was clearly here to find fault! Thinking of this verse, Fangzheng is not polite anymore, he straightened his waist and put his hands down! The eyes are shining, blessed by temples, blessed by Buddhism, the solemnity and solemnity cultivated by Longfo Manjusri, and the upright temperament is magnified by the moon white monk clothes at the same time! At that moment, Fangzheng in everyone's eyes seemed to become taller, and there seemed to be a Buddha's light shining on his body, making people feel convincing just by looking at him!
Wu Ming's feeling was especially obvious, Fang Zheng's aura was all running towards him, he was guilty of guilt, under the ups and downs, cold sweat hung on his pressed forehead!
Fangzheng snorted coldly and said, "Master Wuming, it's fine if you don't talk about this matter. Since you have said this matter, the poor monk has no choice but to ask you a question."
"Please tell me." Wu Ming thought that his words and kung fu would definitely overwhelm this young monk who had never seen the world before, so he had nothing to fear!
Fangzheng said proudly: "Is this how your master taught you to lean in Buddhism?! Distorting the true meaning of Buddhism, are you guilty?!" Fangzheng's voice became louder and louder, and when it came to the back, it sounded like a Buddha roaring, his eyes widened, his imposing manner More Sheng!
With the majestic momentum overwhelming, Wu Ming only felt his legs go weak, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak out the countless words he had prepared!
Fangzheng continued: "In front of my Buddha, in front of the Buddhist hall, in the middle of the temple, you talk nonsense, distort the facts, distort the true meaning of Buddhism, and deceive the people to compete for the first incense, you can be guilty!"
The charges are listed one by one, each sentence is louder than one sentence, and more powerful than one sentence! Wu Ming staggered under the pressure, his legs were weak, and he subconsciously supported Yang Ping beside him.
Seeing this, Yang Ping frowned, Wu Ming's reaction had already explained everything, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes!
Fangzheng continued: "The mountain road is narrow, the temple is narrow, and there is only one Buddhist hall! You let the donors compete for the head incense, and if one is inadvertent and trampled, what should you do? Buddhas compete for incense, not human life! Human life is greater than heaven, but you Turn a deaf ear, what is the intention?!"
Fang Zheng asked again, Wu Ming's lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything.
The villagers suddenly came to their senses when they heard the words.
A woman shouted: "This bastard still asked me to carry the child forward. If this is looting, wouldn't the child be in danger?"
"I'm getting old, and he still let me squeeze in, saying that incense can keep me safe! This kid has no good intentions!"
"I thought it was a mage, but it turned out to be a white-eyed hungry wolf!"
"It's too bad!"
...
The crowd was passionate, countless people criticized him, and Wu Ming's face became more and more ugly, but he also knew that he must not back down at this time, otherwise his reputation would be completely rotten! If it is passed back, his face will be completely humiliated! The abbot of the temple must not have his share!
So Wu Ming resisted the pressure and shouted: "Fangzheng, don't be bloody. Everyone in the world knows the importance of top incense! Don't you know? What's more, as long as there are incenses, there is a priority. You said that top incense is not important. Then who will offer the incense? Or, you have already arranged for someone to offer the incense? As far as I know, some unscrupulous monasteries secretly sell the incense, hehe..."
