At the same time, he saw that there were words on the signboard! On it was written, "Temporarily closed!"
Chen Qiang looked at the salted fish lying on the ground and immediately had an odd feeling. The way the salted fish was lying there was rather enchanting … However, the moment he thought of the words "receiving guests", he immediately felt disgusted.
At that moment, Salted Fish's eyes suddenly moved!
Chen Qiang jumped up in fright as he yelled. "Uncle, Auntie, Salted Fish's eyes moved!"
"Shut up! If you spout nonsense again, I'll look for you tonight! "Salted Fish suddenly looked up and growled at him.
Chen Qiang immediately felt a chill rush up his spine to his head as he ran up the mountain. As he ran, he shouted. "Uncle, Auntie, wait for me! Wait for me!" A young lad in his twenties was frightened to tears by Salted Fish.
When Salted Fish saw this, he curled his lips. "You sure have a sharp tongue, but you're so cowardly. What a good-for-nothing."
"What did you say?" At that moment, a voice sounded behind Salted Fish.
Salted Fish leaped into the air with a cry. When he turned his head, he realized that the person who spoke was Red Boy!
Red Boy reached out his hand to grab Salted Fish's tail and lifted him upside down. "Master knew that you weren't reliable, so he got me to take a look. Indeed, you only erected the signboard when they were already up … "
Salted Fish rolled his eyes. "Can you blame me for that? When I came down the mountain, they were already up. How would I have known that they would be up the mountain so early? "
"Alright, cut the crap. I'll take you up the mountain and erect the signboard at the mountaintop," Red Boy said.
Salted Fish smacked his lips. "Will that work?"
"What else?" Red Boy returned with a question.
Salted Fish was rendered speechless.
With that said, Red Boy flew into the sky with Salted Fish and arrived at the mountaintop in a blink of an eye. After erecting the signboard, he returned with Salted Fish to report on the mission.
Fangzheng frowned when he heard that, but he had no intention of blaming Salted Fish. After all, he had underestimated the enthusiasm of the villagers. He only sighed. "Sigh, this is indeed a little troublesome. I'm afraid that they will head up the mountain ahead of time just for a mouthful of food. They might even spend the night on the mountain. This year's Laba Festival was different from the previous years. The weather was cold and the ground was frozen. It was the extreme coldness of the northeast. If this night were to pass, there would probably be people who would get sick from the cold. If that's the case, then this Laba Festival Dharma Assembly won't be a merit, but a sin. "
"Master, what should we do? Why don't I drive them back? "Red Boy asked.
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "He's just being kind. It's ultimately not good for you to chase him away. Jingxin, you'll have to work hard tonight. Use your divine powers to help them fend off a portion of the cold. You have to ensure that they don't discover that you're helping them. You can't let anyone fall sick because of this! "
When Red Boy heard this, his face immediately turned bitter. He said bitterly, "Master, this is a little difficult …"
"If you do well, I'll double your Laba Congee tomorrow! I'll have enough for tonight! If you think it's impossible, you can get Salted Fish to do it, "said Fangzheng.
"Reverend, you're wise!" Salted Fish immediately jumped out and shouted.
Seeing that Salted Fish was about to snatch the job, Red Boy hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry. I know what to do! I've done it once during the rescue mission in the mountains. I guarantee that I'll complete the mission this time! "
Salted Fish smacked his lips and asked with a look of suspicion, "Can you do it?"
Red Boy looked up and said in all seriousness, "Since Master has already spoken, I have to do it even if I can't!"
Salted Fish rolled his eyes and raised one of his fins. "Alright! I'm impressed by your flattery! "
Red Boy blushed, but he didn't show any signs of embarrassment. Instead, he felt a little smug.
Fangzheng felt extremely comfortable being flattered, but he smiled bitterly inwardly. "Did I lead the team astray? Not a single one of them is like a proper monk … "
As he spoke, Chen Qiang had already caught up to the team. He told Chen Jin about Salted Fish's revival, but Chen Jin rolled his eyes at him. He even said in a serious tone, "If you say anything bad about Abbot Fangzheng again, not only will Salted Fish revive, even the evil ghosts will come looking for you."
If Chen Qiang hadn't encountered Salted Fish coming back to life, he probably wouldn't have thought much of it. However, he had seen Salted Fish raise his head to speak to him with his own eyes. He had long been frightened to death by the supernatural talk. Therefore, when Chen Jin said that, he immediately nodded like an obedient child. "Uncle, don't worry. I definitely won't say another word. Amitabha. May Buddha bless me …"
Upon seeing Chen Qiang suddenly acting all mysterious, a look of puzzlement flashed in Chen Jin's eyes. However, he was quickly interrupted by the shouts behind him. He saw Dog Song coming with his family. He was even carrying a huge luggage bag on his shoulder. Clearly, they were planning on setting up tents on the mountain!
Upon seeing Dog Song arrive, Chen Jin didn't delay any further. He hurriedly called for everyone to speed up.
Chen Qiang followed the crowd and gradually became bolder. When he reached the mountaintop, he saw the monastery's scenery that resembled a flower scroll. He was somewhat shocked, but he was mostly curious. He was curious what the monastery had that could make the villagers so infatuated with it. At the same time, he began to consider the problem of Salted Fish's revival. Had Salted Fish really revived, or was he seeing things?
Filled with questions, Chen Qiang jogged with Chen Jin and arrived outside One Finger Monastery.
At that moment, there were nine huge black pots set up outside One Finger Monastery. The pots were boiling, but it was unknown what was cooking inside. Chen Qiang tried his best to take a sniff, but there was no smell. He thought to himself, Could it be that it's just boiling water?
He wasn't the only one with such doubts. Even Chen Jin couldn't help but take a few glances at the nine pots.
Red Boy was outside, constantly adding firewood to the pots to prevent the fire from extinguishing.
At that moment, Dog Song and company arrived. However, Dog Song didn't have as many relatives as Chen Jin, nor did he have the charisma to summon so many of them. Therefore, Dog Song had brought old customers who came to eat at their agricola. These people had been tricked by Dog Song's glib tongue into coming up the mountain. Dog Song wasn't really doing it for their own good, but he felt that there was no reason for a magical place like One Finger Monastery to not become popular!
Therefore, Dog Song wished that he could trick everyone in the world to try the Laba Congee. Then, he could go back and advertise One Finger Monastery.
Dog Song believed that anyone who drank the Laba Congee would definitely become a moving human billboard!
In fact, it wasn't only Dog Song. Chen Jin had gathered his friends for the same reason. Otherwise, with the Laba Congee so good that they couldn't even finish it themselves, why would they share it with others?
