However, what truly astonished Fangzheng was that the two elders refused to give up. They were secretly discussing how to move the entire monastery back …
Fangzheng smacked his head when he heard that. Why hadn't he thought of that?
Therefore, that night, Fangzheng got Red Boy's help. The two of them worked together to cast a spell and moved the entire monastery backwards …
The next day, Old Ma and Old Sun, who had been racking their brains to think about how to keep the temple intact and move it intact, were suddenly dumbfounded!
"What's going on? Old Ma, I clearly remember that the monastery was originally in this position. Why did it suddenly retreat so much? "Old Sun exclaimed.
Old Ma sighed and said, "I guess it's another supernatural power."
Old Sun sighed. "This divine ability is too awesome … It's a pity that divine abilities can't be popularized, otherwise …"
"Otherwise what? No matter how powerful the divine ability is, won't we still have to build the house ourselves? What's more, if it's popularized and people can build their own houses, we'll be useless. "Old Ma sighed.
"Amitabha. Patrons, This Penniless Monk does not agree with that." At that moment, Fangzheng's voice sounded.
The duo hurriedly turned their heads and bowed. "Greetings, Abbot Fangzheng."
Fangzheng smiled. "Patrons, This Penniless Monk heard your conversation. Actually, divine abilities are ever-changing, and thousands of things can be done as one pleases. "
Old Ma said, "Master, could divine arts be used to build houses and carve?"
"Of course."
Old Ma's expression immediately turned ugly. He looked at Fangzheng as though he was a shameless bandit who was about to snatch away his rice bowl.
Fangzheng chuckled. "Patron, there's no need to worry. Although divine powers are useful, no matter how good they are, they can't compare to the two masters' craftsmanship."
These words made Old Ma and Old Sun happy …
Fangzheng continued. "Today's technology is so advanced. Many things can be created by various machines, but the truly valuable items are all made by humans. Masters, do you know why this is so? "
Old Ma said, "The cost is the result of the difference in the energy invested and the quantity produced."
Old Sun didn't think so and said, "There are many things that humans can do, but machines can't. Therefore, human craftsmanship is naturally the most expensive. "
Old Ma asked, "What does Master think?"
Fangzheng smiled. "This Penniless Monk believes that it has nothing to do with any of this."
Old Sun and Old Ma were stunned.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky and said, "Patrons, human technology is constantly innovating and advancing. Perhaps some things have been lost in the long river of history, but human technology is still advancing. Do you agree? "
Old Sun nodded subconsciously and said, "Indeed, take micro-carving as an example. The ancients could carve the nuclear boat symbol with their naked eyes, but because of the limitations of the naked eye and tools, they couldn't carve the nuclear boat symbol on rice grains. However, modern people can see the smaller world with the help of instruments. It's not strange to carve the nuclear mark on a grain of rice. "
Fangzheng asked, "What if a machine engraved it?"
Old Ma said, "As long as you want to, it's only a matter of time before you use a machine to carve it. You have to know that the precision of a chip is something that most modern people are unable to achieve, let alone the ancients. "
Fangzheng nodded. "That's right. Machines are becoming more and more powerful. The advantage humans have in front of machines is only their creativity and imagination. Modern humans can rely on their own creativity and use machines to do many things that they couldn't do in the past. Even mass-producing those things … Humans can also do the same thing. Why is it more expensive for humans to do it? "
"Because technology is precious. There are too few humans who can do it. This technology is its value, "Old Ma said.
Fangzheng shook his head. "This Penniless Monk doesn't think so."
Old Sun said, "Then what do you think, Master?"
Fangzheng smiled. "This Penniless Monk believes that those masters have used their skills to defend the dignity of humanity! Therefore, their prices are higher! "
Upon hearing this, the two elders were taken aback before they fell into deep thought.
Old Ma said, "I've never heard of this theory."
Fangzheng smiled. "This is just something This Penniless Monk usually thinks about. It's not real. Everything in the world has thousands of sides. Everyone sees things from different angles. "
Old Sun said, "But after hearing Master's words, I agree with Master's words even more. The technology and ideas I mentioned previously are actually the indignation in my heart. I can't accept that human skills are inferior to machines … My final pride prevents me from admitting that machines are stronger than humans. However, I'm willing to pay for this pride! Those who are comparable to machines or surpass machines are also worth paying for. Master, what do you think? "
Fangzheng said, "This Penniless Monk is also willing to buy. Therefore, your value is more valuable than This Penniless Monk's divine powers. This Penniless Monk's divine powers are only convenient, but you are protecting your dignity. All the best, Masters. This Penniless Monk can't wait to see the new monastery. "
When Old Sun and Old Ma heard that, they looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
What was the point of training so hard? To put it bluntly, wasn't it for that dignity?
Fangzheng had given them enough respect. What they could repay him was the best skills!
Therefore, the two energetic elders immediately said, "Let's not say anything else. Let's get to work!"
The two of them gathered the workers and began a vigorous expansion campaign …
As the workers began working, Fangzheng suddenly realized that he had become the most idle person.
Serve tea and water to the workers? They didn't give in at all. All of them said that they couldn't afford it. No matter what Fangzheng said, it was useless.
Instead, when Fangzheng's disciples delivered some water, the workers would snatch it and claim that it was better than any other beverage …
Fangzheng was also helpless towards this.
On the other side, Red Boy returned after delivering the water. He chuckled and said, "Master, you have been despised again. Haha …"
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Work well. The monastery's expansion will be completed soon and the doors will open soon."
He had lost count of how many times he had said this. However, since he was bored, he had to find something to do, right?
Just as Fangzheng was wondering if he should go down the mountain to help the old hen incubate her eggs, an acquaintance came.
Tap! Tap! Tap! It was the familiar sound of high heels.
Fangzheng said without looking up, "Patron Jing Yan, you have the time to go up the mountain again."
Compared to others, Jing Yan had the most free time. Furthermore, One Finger Monastery had the most news around Black Mountain City.
