Therefore, Liu Tao did not say anything and hurriedly chased after them.
Xie Ming and Xiaolei exchanged glances and were about to follow when the foreman's voice rang out. "Liu Tao, what's going on?"
"You two go down and report to the foreman. I'll go up the mountain to thank the master!" Liu Tao shouted.
Xie Ming and Xiaolei helplessly went down the mountain to report to their superiors.
"Hehe … You two keep making up stories for me. Make it up, make it up! Why didn't I find that you two were so good at making up stories? Why did you two come to the construction team with this ability? Go write a novel? "The foreman sneered after listening to Xie Ming and Xiaolei's explanation.
What could Xie Ming and Xiaolei say? No one would believe the truth, so he might as well...
"Alright, then we can only tell you the truth. There were indeed falling rocks. Master was afraid that it would be dangerous on the mountain, so he told us to come down first," Xie Ming said immediately.
"Isn't that it? How simple was it to tell the truth? Look at how stupid the two of you are. You're still lying. You don't even use your brains when you lie. Do you really think I'm stupid? No matter how stupid I am, I won't believe your lies! With my Eyes of Fire and Gold, I can tell what kind of fart you are farting the moment you lift a leg. Alright, get to work. I don't have time to deal with you two. "The foreman boasted for a while and let the two of them go to work.
After Xie Ming and Xiaolei left, they looked at each other and shook their heads, muttering, "His Eyes of Fire and Gold are blind …"
Fangzheng was walking on the mountain when he heard footsteps behind him. He did not stop and continued walking.
After Liu Tao caught up, he was just about to say something when he realized that Fangzheng had no intention of stopping. Hence, he shut his mouth and followed behind.
After going up the mountain and entering One Finger Monastery, Fangzheng turned around and pressed his palms together. He gave a Buddhist proclamation, "Amitabha. Patron, you have followed This Penniless Monk all the way to One Finger Monastery. Is there a reason?"
"Master, I came to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life. "Liu Tao was also a rough man. If he really wanted to say thank you, he would be a little shy.
Fangzheng smiled. "Everything is fate. This Penniless Monk said before that This Penniless Monk saves people who are fated. Since I've saved you, it's fate. There's no need to thank me. "
"That's different. If it weren't for Grandmaster, my head would have exploded. That … Great Master, I'm a boorish man, you see … how should I thank you? " Although Liu Tao was in the construction industry, he was an engineer at the top and a worker at the bottom. He was a simple and straightforward person. He had never owed anyone a favor in his life. Suddenly owing such a big debt made him feel a little numb.
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, if you really wish to thank This Penniless Monk, it's simple. Go to Buddha and thank the Bodhisattvas."
Liu Tao originally imagined that Fangzheng would have other requests, but he never expected it to be so simple. He asked in surprise, "That's all?"
"That's right. Otherwise?" Fangzheng returned with a question. Fangzheng wished to receive more gratitude, but gratitude could not be eaten. What was the point of it? Fangzheng did not place much importance on abstract things. On the contrary, it would be great if they could give him some money that wasn't incense money. Unfortunately, with the System watching over him, he couldn't receive the money. As for incense money … Fangzheng was too embarrassed to ask for it. He decided to leave it to fate.
Liu Tao focused his eyes on Fangzheng. He saw that Fangzheng's eyes were extremely bright and simple. There was nothing worldly about him, nor did he have any intentions of beating around the bush. He knew that the monk in front of him did not have any ulterior motives. All he wanted was for him to thank Buddha and Bodhisattva.
With this in mind, Liu Tao could not help but sigh inwardly. "This is a true monk! Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover. Age is not the standard that determines the level of the Buddhist Dharma. It's the heart! "
With this in mind, Liu Tao entered the temple hall. He took some incense and prayed to Buddha. But when he touched his pockets, Liu Tao nearly cried. Who would carry a wallet on them when they were out for work? Typically, they would carry a few yuan of change on them and occasionally buy some water. Now, after rummaging through all the pockets of his clothes, he only found ten yuan …
Liu Tao did not turn his head. His face turned red. He had burned their incense for them to save him, but he did not even have the money for the incense! This was so bitter … He was too embarrassed to turn his head to look at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng did not even look at the situation in the temple hall. Instead, he waited quietly outside. It was not good to stare at someone while they were praying to Buddha.
After a while, Liu Tao came out looking ashamed. His face was flushed red as he said bashfully, "Master … About that … Can I owe a debt?"
Fangzheng was stunned. Owe a debt? Ignoring the fact that ever since he took over One Finger Monastery, he had never heard of anyone owing a debt to the monastery!
Fangzheng asked perplexed, "Patron, what do you mean by that?"
Liu Tao's face turned redder. "About that … About that … Aiyah. Master, wait a moment. I'll be back in a while."
With that said, Liu Tao ran out. But after taking two steps, he returned. He took out an old cell phone and placed it by the door. "Master, I'll leave my cell phone here. I'll come back for it in a while!"
With that said, Liu Tao ran off.
Fangzheng was dumbfounded. What was going on?
After a while, Fangzheng came to his senses. He looked at the high incense in the temple hall and then at the lonely ten yuan in the Merit Incense. Immediately, he smiled helplessly. "System, can I … owe a debt?"
"Ding! Money has a price, but kindness and sincerity are priceless. What do you think? "asked the System.
Fangzheng smiled. "Then why don't you just waive it? It's not like you lack the three sticks of incense. "
"The scriptures are not easily imparted. Kindness cannot be given easily either. If you give too much, it will be worthless," said the System.
Fangzheng was enlightened. He had seen a piece of news on the Internet. Two people were childhood friends. One was extremely hardworking, while the other was lazy. The lazy person would never work, while the hardworking person would always help him with housework and cooking. The lazy person was very grateful in the beginning, treating the other person as his best friend. But this care lasted for seven to eight years. Slowly, the lazy person got used to it. One day, the hardworking person did not come to the lazy person's house for two days. The lazy person was starving, so he went to find the hardworking person. When he saw that the hardworking person was in a relationship, he was immediately infuriated. He cursed, "Why aren't you taking care of me? Why are you fooling around here?" Therefore, he picked up a kitchen knife and severely injured the other party.
With this in mind, Fangzheng sighed. It was fine to be a good person, but one could not spoil a person with kindness. If not, it would not be kindness, but evil.
Fangzheng looked at the cell phone placed by the door and shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself, "This man sure is honest. He was afraid that This Penniless Monk would think that he would run, so he put the cell phone down. Is this considered a pledge?"
Fangzheng shook his head and did not touch the cell phone. All he did was sit under the bodhi tree and wait slowly.
Monkey looked at Fangzheng and then at the cell phone in Fangzheng's hand before looking at the cell phone by the door. He was a little curious as he went over to touch it.
"Monkey, you can touch things that are yours, but you can't touch things that aren't yours." Fangzheng's voice suddenly sounded.
