The villagers were stunned when they heard this.
When Wu Ming saw that the crowd was silent, he believed that he had finally won the situation. All he needed was a reply from Fangzheng so that he could act according to the situation and completely suppress them!
In the end …
"Wu Ming, who do you think you are? What are you talking about? "
"We watched Fangzheng grow up. We know what kind of child he is."
"You bald donkey, I knew you weren't a good person. Get lost!"
"Wu Ming, hurry up and scram. This is a monastery or I'll beat you until you can't even take care of yourself!" Dog Song said.
Tan Yong exclaimed, "I don't dare say what others are like, but compared to you, I trust Fangzheng more!"
Tan Ming added, "That's right. I've seen too many fake monks. From my point of view, you aren't anything good either! He even came to slander Fangzheng? Why don't you take a good look at yourself! "
Wu Ming was instantly dumbfounded. Despite all the calculations he had made, he had forgotten about Fangzheng's relationship with the villagers! They were not ordinary visitors. They were Fangzheng's relatives!
A single sentence ignited a barrel of gunpowder. Wu Ming was filled with regret! Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret. However, he still struggled and said, "Ignorant! You will regret this! "
Just as everyone was about to continue cursing, Fangzheng pressed his palms together and said loudly, "Amitabha. Patrons, calm down. This Penniless Monk said that the first incense is not important, but Venerable Wu Ming insisted that it is. Actually, this matter was simple. They just had to ask Venerable Wu Ming's Master to speak up and everything would be clear! This Penniless Monk has also heard of Zen Master Hongyan's name. He is an accomplished monk. This Penniless Monk believes that Zen Master Hongyan will give everyone a satisfactory answer. "
"My master is old, and it's not convenient for him to walk or climb mountains. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter if you don't! This Penniless Monk wanted to do good and accumulate merit. Since none of you believe me, forget it! "With that said, Wu Ming pushed through the crowd and quickly descended the mountain.
"Tsk!" No one was a fool. For Wu Ming to leave with his tail between his legs, it was obvious that he was afraid of being exposed. Instantly, countless middle fingers were thrown at him!
Wu Ming felt as though there was a dagger at his back. He walked even faster and in a moment of carelessness, he stepped on ice and fell to the ground with a plop. Everyone laughed, and he looked even more embarrassed …
In the crowd, Chen Jin sighed when he saw this. He did not say a word. He knew that Wu Ming was finished. At the very least, he no longer had a place to speak in One Finger Village. As for Chen Jin, he finally understood that Wu Ming was not a good person. However, without Wu Ming, how could he earn extra money? Chen Jin still did not like Fangzheng even if he lost his source of riches! Thinking back to how he had been rejected when he came to ask for the Laba Congee, it was very similar to Wu Ming's. It was embarrassing!
Chen Jin was aggrieved, but he knew that this was not the time to flare up. As for descending the mountain now? Wouldn't that be telling others that he was in cahoots with Wu Ming? He didn't want to embarrass himself again, so he quietly followed the crowd, thinking of offering incense and going home together. Thinking of his wife, Su Hong, as well as his children and grandchildren who had rushed back before the end of the year, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
After Wu Ming left, Fangzheng felt a headache. Although Buddhists mentioned that the first incense offering was for everyone, the first incense offering in every monastery was a form of recognition from the people! It was especially so for the Huaxia people, who had a deep attachment to being number one. It was very difficult to deal with.
At that moment, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded from the foot of the mountain. There were also people cheering. Such a large-scale firecracker meant that the new year had arrived!
Indeed, although the villagers believed Fangzheng's words, they were still eager to try.
Fangzheng had an idea as he turned around and bowed towards the temple hall. "Disciple Fangzheng leads the people of Mt. One Finger down the mountain to pay our respects to Bodhisattva!"
With that said, Fangzheng walked in and took out an ordinary incense stick. He lit it up and placed it in the incense burner!
When everyone saw Fangzheng take the lead in offering the first incense stick, they exchanged looks. Following that, they realized that there was nothing wrong with that. He was the abbot of the monastery, so it was only natural for him to offer the incense.
Without the first incense stick, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. One by one, they lined up to offer the incense and pray for blessings.
Fangzheng looked at the bustling temple hall and felt a little proud. However, he was mostly vexed. "System, just one child-giving Guan Yin is really insufficient! It will severely affect the development of this monastery! "
"Ding! That's why you have to work hard. "
"Can you give me some constructive suggestions?" asked Fangzheng.
"Yes!"
"Let's hear it."
"You have to work hard!"
Fangzheng: "2 # ¥# @% ¥"
The bustle in the temple hall only came to an end at around two in the morning. Everyone offered incense, children ran around, and the elderly laughed. There was chatter everywhere. As for Fangzheng, his eyes were almost narrowed from smiling. He could tell that perhaps it was because of the new year, but everyone was very generous! This time, all of them offered high incense sticks! Although the System had taken away half of Fangzheng's income, it was still a considerable amount!
The expansion of the monastery was nearing!
Just as Fangzheng was grinning secretly …
"Why is the foot of the mountain red?" someone suddenly asked.
He went over to the cliff and heard someone shout, "Oh no! The village is on fire! Quickly put out the fire! "
Wang Yougui, Tan Juguo, and company immediately turned anxious. They ran down the cliff and looked down. Indeed, there was a fire. Wang Yougui hurriedly arranged for Yang Ping to call the fire department. He called out, "Young and old, follow me down the mountain to put out the fire!"
Instantly, all the adult men and women ran down the mountain.
When Fangzheng heard the chaos outside, he went out to check on the situation. Standing at the edge of the cliff, they saw that someone's haystack was on fire! Although there was snow in winter, snow was not rain. The weather was still dry and there were strong winds. The fire spread extremely quickly! At this moment, it had already reached a house. The front and back were on fire simultaneously.
Behind him, Chen Jin said eccentrically when he saw everyone turn anxious, "Hmph, why didn't you stay at home during the new year? Great, isn't there a fire now? It's such a tall mountain. Even if you go down, there will be nothing left to burn. "
At that moment, Chen Jin's cell phone rang.
Chen Jin picked it up and saw that it was his wife, Su Hong. After picking it up, he said without waiting for the other party to speak, "The village seems to be on fire. I can't see clearly because of the fog. Be careful."
"Save me! My house is on fire. I can't go out! "Su Hong's cries sounded from the other end of the line.
Chen Jin was instantly dumbfounded as he yelled, "My house! It's my house! My house! "
Chen Jin ran down. At that moment, he was no longer taunting. He was rolling and crawling the entire way. His legs were no longer working. He threw his cell phone away as well.
Fangzheng picked up the cell phone and heard the screams on the other end. There were the crackling sounds of flames exploding, children crying, and women screaming incessantly. He knew that this was bad. Someone was going to die!
Fangzheng originally believed that the villagers had all gone up the mountain, so he was not worried. But from the looks of it, that was not the case! Someone was trapped!
