When Old Tao saw this, he looked up at the sky. His face was tense, as if he was trying his best not to smile. He was afraid that if he did, he would be thrown out and kicked out.
However, an idea came to Director Yu as he said in all seriousness, "He must be a disciple of an accomplished monk. Let's go. Don't disturb his chanting. Do what you need to do."
"Amitabha. Patron, This Penniless Monk is the only one in this monastery." Fangzheng naturally heard the commotion the group made along the way. He just didn't go out to talk to them. Recently, he had been thinking about the problem of zen farming, so he didn't plant the seeds. Now that a group of people had arrived and they were still making a ruckus, it really made him a little unhappy.
The moment Fangzheng said that, Director Yu was infuriated. It was not easy for him to find an excuse to extricate himself from the situation, but before he could do so, the monk had thrown him back. Why was this monk so blind!?
However, Director Yu also knew that he could not blame them for this matter. All he could do was glare at the people who were holding back their laughter before turning to bow at Fangzheng. "I believe this is One Finger Monastery's abbot?"
Fangzheng stood up, pressed his palms together, and returned the bow. "It's This Penniless Monk. Patron, is there something?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng had already left the temple hall. The temple hall was a place to consecrate Buddha, not a place to discuss matters.
"It's like this. We're from Spring City Film Company. We're planning to use the scenery on this mountain to film a movie. One Finger Village's village chief has already agreed. What do you think? "Director Yu played a crafty trick. He did not say that it was a discussion, but instead used the excuse of One Finger Village's village chief. As for the Village Chief, he did see him, but he did not say that he was there to shoot a movie. After all, he hadn't even seen the scenery on the mountain, and he wasn't sure if he would choose this place. If he directly discussed this matter with the other party, and the other party agreed, but they didn't like it, then it wouldn't be right.
Therefore, he had come first. To save trouble, he had a trick up his sleeve. He would first take down Fangzheng before finding the village chief. He guessed that he would most likely succeed. Furthermore, from his point of view, such a small monastery was probably supported by the villagers. It was impossible for the monk to not give the village chief face.
However …
Fangzheng felt a look of contempt when he heard that. These words could be used to deceive others, but to deceive him? He knew Wang Yougui too well. Although Wang Yougui was quite quick-witted, he would never do anything that violated his principles. Mt. One Finger had long been given to One Finger Monastery, so it was impossible for him to dictate what to do. Even if they had such thoughts, they would first communicate with Fangzheng before agreeing to him.
Since Wang Yougui didn't come, it explained a lot of problems.
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, This Penniless Monk does not understand what you are saying. If there's anything, you should discuss it with the village chief. We'll talk after This Penniless Monk understands the situation. "
"Abbot, little monk, didn't we tell you that the village chief has agreed to it? Wouldn't it be over if you just nod your head? "Lin Dongshi tried to cheer him up.
Fangzheng looked at Lin Dongshi, Director Yu, as well as the people who wanted to say something. He did not say a word as he simply looked at them. Faced with Fangzheng's pure gaze, it was clear and without any impurities. Immediately, Director Yu, who still wanted to lie, swallowed his words. For some reason, he felt a little guilty when he lied to the young monk who was as pure as the sun. As a wily old fox who had been in society for many years, he was absolutely confident that he could win an Oscar when it came to lying. He was absolutely invulnerable to weapons and even a nuclear bomb could not penetrate him.
But facing the young monk in front of him, he felt ashamed. He could not bear to lie any further.
Therefore, Director Yu said with a wry smile, "Sorry, Abbot. I lied just now. I'll first discuss it with the villagers before coming up the mountain to tell you? "
Although it was only a brief encounter and he did not know how good Fangzheng's Buddhist Dharma was, Fangzheng's natural purity and untainted feeling made his eyes light up. He also liked him. In today's materialistic society, there was no other person who could have such a bearing other than a newborn baby. Fangzheng was a real monk and he did not wish to make things difficult for him. However, he did not know that Fangzheng was not a natural simpleton who had no desires or desires.
However, Fangzheng's pursuit of materialistic desires was still very low compared to most people. Just like his dream, he only wished to find a girl who was not considered pretty, marry her, and have children, leading a simple life. He was not a person with ambition or great desires. He was only an ordinary and simple person. Everything was simple and ordinary. In addition, the Crystal Rice and Unrooted Clean Aqua had cleansed his body, the sound of the wooden fish and the zen sounds had cleansed his soul, as well as the recent period of time where he had been comprehending the buddhist dharma day and night, and the White Lunar Monk Robe had magnified his good side over and over again, suppressing everything else. It was all these that gave him this pure and flawless feeling.
Fangzheng returned the bow, "Amitabha. Patron, please go ahead."
Director Yu nodded but he did not immediately descend the mountain. Instead, he led more than ten people to the temple hall. Each of them offered a high incense and paid for the incense before leading the group out. This was also his habit. It was also the habit of the people in his circle. Others might not believe in Buddha or religion but to them, they had to pay respects to every temple they came across. It was already a habit.
The group left. Fangzheng looked at the money in the Merit Box and smiled, "At least I don't have to worry about starving."
The group did not descend the mountain. Instead, they walked around the mountaintop as they filmed. They would stop from time to time and observe their surroundings. After carefully observing for an hour, they descended the mountain. Along the way, Director Yu constantly nodded. Clearly, he was very pleased with the scenery. More importantly, the scenery was natural and filled with an immortal air. There was nothing that stood out, making it very suitable for his upcoming filming.
When Wang Yougui heard that they were filming on Mt. One Finger, he naturally applauded and nearly agreed. But on careful thought, he said with a wry smile, "Mt. One Finger has long been given to One Finger Monastery. The village can only express its support. As for whether we can film it or not, that will depend on One Finger Monastery's abbot, Venerable Fangzheng."
"You are the village chief. Can't you make a decision on such a trivial matter?" asked Luo Li, perplexed.
"I'm the village chief but I can't be overbearing. I can't be domineering. Rules are rules. I can't break them. It's great for the village that you are filming on Mt. One Finger. I support it. However, whether you can film it will depend on Venerable Fangzheng, "said Wang Yougui seriously.
Director Yu said, "I can understand that. I have already paid a visit to Venerable Fangzheng. He wants to see what you think. If you do this, it will put me in a difficult position. "
