Luo Yang looked at the few rocks, wood, and bricks on the ground and said with a dumbfounded look, "Master Ma, if I remember correctly, there were still a lot of materials here yesterday. Why is it almost all gone today?"
"There's a lot of people …" Master Ma was also flabbergasted. He kept mumbling, "It's been decades. It's been decades since I've seen such a scene … F * * k, Luo Yang, watch. I'll go move the rocks."
"Master Ma, you are a skilled worker."
"F * * k skills. Don't call me Master Ma. I'm still young! Haha, I feel like I'm decades younger. This feeling is f * * king great! " Master Ma changed from his usual scholarly demeanor. He shrugged off his arms and coat, striding forward bare-chested. He looked young and frivolous, as if he was really decades younger. There were even women cheering for Master Ma.
When Luo Yang saw this, he rushed forward in a rush. Vaguely, Luo Yang heard Wang Yougui shout, "Quickly inform the brothers and sisters in Guan County's Dongliang Village not to come. We have too many people. If all of them come, we won't be able to provide lunch …"
Just as he finished his sentence, a Buddhist proclamation sounded. A group of bald monks came. From their attire, they were monks from Hongyan Monastery! Leading them was Venerable Wu Yu from Hongyan Monastery.
Wang Yougui hurriedly went down to ask about the situation, but Venerable Wu Yu returned with a question, "Weren't you the one who posted on your WeChat Moments that One Finger Monastery is lacking manpower to repair the bell tower? My master specially got us to rush over to help … But, you … "
Wang Yougui said with a wry smile, "I was just grumbling back then. Who knew that so many people would come so early in the morning? I thought that the Eight-Nation Alliance had swept the village. It gave me a fright. Now, as you can see, there are too many people … Well, why don't we … "
"Why not? Since we are already here, don't we still have some things? Let's get to work! "Wu Yu hurriedly called out to the people when he saw that the bricks and tiles were about to be moved away. The reason why he was called Wu Yu was because he was usually talkative. Zen Master Hongyan wanted him to keep his mouth shut, but a leopard couldn't change its spots. In his anxiety, he became talkative again.
Then, a group of monks rushed over to help, and in the end, everything was swept clean.
Wang Yougui looked up at Mt. One Finger and mumbled. "When did work become so rewarding?"
At the same time, Fangzheng was dumbfounded. The moment he opened the door early in the morning, he saw countless bricks, tiles, and logs placed neatly by the monastery's entrance. A large group of people came in wave after wave, drenched in sweat. What he thought would take a week had been completed in a single morning! Fangzheng saw many familiar faces. Zheng Jiaxing, Dog Song, Yang Ping, Yang Hua, Sun Qianjin, Chen Jin, Chen Long, Chen Bin, etc. Some of them were people he had helped before, while others had not. Some had come to make a wish, while others had come to seek answers to their doubts … There were even more people he did not remember.
"Master, you are awake." Upon seeing Fangzheng, a large group of people stood up in unison and said with a smile.
Fangzheng looked at the sweating men and felt his heart wince. His eyes felt a little sore as well. He subconsciously recalled what Zen Master One Finger had said years ago: "Kindness is like a dandelion seed. It will fly away and not belong to you, but it will bloom when it lands on the ground and scatter even further …"
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patrons, thank you for your hard work."
"Master, you speak as though you are an outsider," said Dog Song with a smile.
Zheng Jiaxing said, "Master, if not for you, my family would have been ruined. What's the big deal? My wife said that if I don't help you, she won't even let me enter the house. She bought three boxes of crispy noodle snacks and is waiting for me at home. If I don't do it well, she will kneel at the door and not shatter it. "
Chen Bin said with a smile, "Master, if not for your guidance back then, Feifei wouldn't have been with me. We got married in October this year. Master, can I invite you to our wedding? "
Only then did Fangzheng recall that back when the pair of childhood sweethearts came to One Finger Monastery, Feifei had an ethereal person in her heart, separating the two of them. Later, Fangzheng used a classic story to send the two of them together. Fangzheng said with a smile, "This Penniless Monk will definitely be there when the time comes."
"That's great. Haha!" Chen Bin laughed.
The others spoke up one after another. Fangzheng patiently chatted with everyone. As he spoke, the scene became more and more lively. The monks from Hongyan Monastery came. The villagers from Guan County's Dongliang Village, whom Fangzheng had helped out of poverty, came as well as the young lass who had received the stationery case.
Wang Yougui got people to carry the food up the mountain and set up a table in an empty space. No matter who came, they were allowed to eat!
The entire mountaintop turned lively. Fangzheng had lost count of the number of people he drank water with. There was no alcohol, so everyone was drinking water.
But to Fangzheng's surprise, when he was in a good mood, he could even get drunk from drinking water. The large group of people chatted more and more happily. There were people singing, dancing, bragging …
Only in the evening did the crowd disperse.
Seeing the people disperse, Fangzheng, Red Boy, Monkey, Squirrel, and Lone Wolf stood on the mountaintop and silently sent them off.
Red Boy looked up at Fangzheng and said, "Master, I suddenly understand something."
"What do you understand?" returned Fangzheng with a question.
"Some happiness can't be snatched. My mother once told me that I can snatch anything I like. It's very simple. But I realized that to make someone treat me sincerely, it's impossible to snatch it. It's just like when I encountered a calamity, none of the demon kings I captured and enslaved were willing to stand up for me. But you are different. Although you don't have much ability, you treat them sincerely, and they treat you sincerely. It feels good to be cared for by others, "said Red Boy.
Fangzheng was taken aback before he rapped Red Boy on the head. "What do you mean I don't have much ability? I'm very capable! "
"Yes, very capable." Red Boy curled his lips with a look of disdain.
Fangzheng said, "Don't be indignant. My divine powers are those people. You can use your divine powers to transport the materials up the mountain, but it's the same for my divine powers. With so many people attacking together, it's not necessarily inferior to your divine powers, right?"
Red Boy was stunned.
Fangzheng sighed. "I only realized today that the greatest divine power isn't Call the Wind and Summon the Rain and Cast Beans for Soldiers. When people's hearts are filled with kindness, without scheming against each other, and when they work together to do something, they can surpass all divine powers. Mortals also have divine powers, and that is kindness. "
Monkey added, "Master, you're right."
Fangzheng: "…"
The materials and tools were all transported up the mountain. With the most difficult problem resolved, the rest became simple.
