Chapter 165: Pharmacist's Temple
After Fang Shiyu kowtowed to his parents and prepared to leave with Zhao Fuxiang, Fang Youwei saw that he could not stop him, so he had to step forward and pull Liao Dagui aside, took out ten taels of silver from his arms, and whispered: "This eldest brother, Quan Zi will rely on him in the future.
Big brother took care of it, this is just a trivial matter!"
Liao Dagui looked at the silver, stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Fang, I will take care of your son!"
Zhao Fuxiang saw Fang Youwei stuffing money into Liao Dagui, but he did not stop him. He was different from Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng hated this kind of behavior of his subordinates collecting black money. But Zhao Fuxiang believed that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and human nature is greedy.
Yes, if you prohibit them from collecting illegal money, they have to get it back from other places. Therefore, as long as Zhao Fuxiang and his subordinates work hard, Zhao Fuxiang will turn a blind eye to other matters. As long as it is not too excessive, he will not care.
After leaving Fish Skin Alley, Zhao Fuxiang smelled the fishy smell of Fang Shiyu next to him and said with a smile: "Boy, you can't dress so shabbily with Master Zhao in the future!"
Zhao Fuxiang looked around, and there happened to be a ready-made clothes shop not far away. He said to Liao Zhi beside him: "Liao Zhi, I will give you a tael of silver and take this kid to buy some clothes!"
Liao Zhi was five or six years older than Fang Shiyu and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, follow your brother!"
Although Zhao Fuxiang only gave him one tael of silver, Fang Shiyu was able to go in and buy a lot. He went in and picked out a pair of gray coarse cloth clothes, changed into a new pair of cloth shoes, and came out immediately.
Zhao Fuxiang looked at the boy in front of him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, a person depends on his clothes. From now on, you will stay with me and practice your military skills with Dagui first!"
A few people were standing at the door of Yupi Lane talking and joking. Zhao Chongfang laughed and said: "Brother, now that the matter here is settled, shouldn't we go to dinner?"
Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "Yes, why did you forget this? Brother, I said I am planning to host something. Brother, you can choose the place!"
Zhao Chongfang chuckled: "How can I ask my brother to spend money today? However, Baile is strictly prohibited in the city these days, so there is no place to have fun eating. I do know a good place, but it is in Baiyun Mountain outside the city and requires a long walk.
!”
Zhao Fuxiang, the famous name of Baiyun Mountain, also knows that Baiyun Mountain is a famous scenic spot outside Guangzhou and one of the famous mountains in southern Guangdong. It has been known as "the most beautiful mountain in Guangzhou" since ancient times. The mountain is quite wide and consists of more than 30 peaks. It is the most famous mountain in Guangdong.
A branch of Jiulian Mountain, the highest peak.
Zhao Fuxiang asked: "Baiyun Mountain? Is there anything delicious in the mountain? Is it game?"
Zhao Chongfang smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's not vulgar food like game and seafood. Let's go eat vegetarian food!"
Zhao Fuxiang is a real carnivore and must have meat in every meal. Now that he is a vegetarian, Zhao Fuxiang frowned and asked: "Brother, brother, I will not be happy with meat! What can I eat in this vegetarian restaurant?"
"Brother, of course there is nothing to eat in this vegetarian restaurant, but this Yakushian is a good place to go!"
Yakushi'an was originally a small temple deep in Baiyun Mountain. It was dedicated to the Medicine Buddha Glazed Light Bodhisattva. Yakushi'an was a bhikkhu monastery, that is, a place of practice for nuns. Originally, this small temple was nothing special. There were only five bhikkhunis here.
Practice. But a few years ago, a bhikshuni named Kyocchi came to Yakushi'an to be ordained and practice. Since her arrival, Yakushi'an has changed.
Juechi's surname was Lai, also known as Quanqing. She was originally a famous prostitute in Suzhou. She was spotted by a wealthy businessman in Guangzhou. She redeemed her and followed the wealthy businessman to Guangzhou to become a concubine.
Lai Quanqing's life was very stable, but the wealthy businessman was old after all. In addition, he was fond of women, so he died on Lai Quanqing's belly a few years after he came back. After the master died, his wife refused to let him go, and used family methods to kill him.
Lai Quanqing gave him a good beating and then kicked him out.
Lai Quanqing used to be a prostitute. She spent her whole life pleasing men. She didn't know how to make a living, so she had no choice but to go to Yaoshi'an and become a bhikshuni.
Although her life was guaranteed after becoming a monk, the life of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha was really not suitable for Quanqing. After staying there for a few months, she began to feel turbulent again. She took the opportunity of a pilgrim to offer incense and got together with a pilgrim.
, and earned a few taels of silver at the same time. With the money, Lai Quanqing bought high-end clothes and jewelry, which he wore in public, making other nuns jealous.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the land was highly concentrated, and it was difficult for a small temple like this without temple property to maintain. These nuns were just able to make a living. Now seeing Lai Quanqing's big fish and meat wearing gold and silver, they soon fell under the pressure of money.
She gave in and became a secret prostitute. A few years later, the old host died. The Qing Dynasty lost control and renovated the entire Yakushi Temple, turning the Buddhist sanctuary into a meat business.
place.
When Zhao Fuxiang heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately became interested and asked: "Brother Xian, are all the nuns in this Yaoshi'an Temple really?"
Zhao Chongfang smiled and said: "Of course, but there are also female disciples who practice lay practice and make money in the name of practice. It depends on whether my brother likes it or not!"
Zhao Fuxiang laughed and scolded: "Damn it, people from big cities know how to play. Compared with Guangfu, Qiongzhou is like a rural area. My brother and widow have played it, but I have never played as a nun. I must go and see the world today!"
Zhao Chongfang secretly cursed in his heart that this country bumpkin was really not a human being and could do such rotten things as bad reputation, but he smiled and said: "Hey, in that case, let's set off!"
Zhao Fuxiang smiled at his subordinates and said: "Dagui, you guys fight and kill each other every day. Today, I arranged for you to practice and resolve the anger in your heart! Let's all go together, very good!"
When Liao Dagui heard that, he took him there and said with a smile: "Master is right, let's go together! Let's go play with my sister-in-law together!"
Zhao Fuxiang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that this guy was unlearned and interpreted what he said in English into other meanings. Zhao Fuxiang laughed and said, "Yes, just to play with my sister-in-law!"
Yakushi'an is ten miles away from Guangzhou City and is hidden in the depths of Baiyun Mountain. It is indeed difficult to find it without someone's guidance. There must be very little incense in such a remote place. If Lai Quanqing hadn't been reforming and innovating here, it is estimated that Yakushi'an would have been around in a few years.
It's closed.
Zhao Fuxiang and his party came to the door of Yaoshi'an. The young novice monk who greeted guests at the door saw the guests and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Zhao Chongfang was the first to get out of the car. He was the captain of the Guangzhou City Security Brigade. Although his official position was not high, he was the immediate boss of these entertainment industries. When the young novice saw this guy coming, he did not dare to neglect and quickly went in to ask the host Lai Quanqing to come out to greet him.
.
Zhao Fuxiang got out of the car and looked around. It was very secluded here. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary Buddhist sanctuary, but who would have thought that it was so filthy inside?
There were several carriages parked at the entrance of Yakushian, and they seemed to be waiting for people. In addition to these ordinary carriages, there were also several luxury carriages, which were probably for some wealthy businessmen in the city to have fun.
After the young novice entered, a middle-aged nun wearing a robe came out quickly. This nun wore a pointed hat. Zhao Fuxiang didn't know that this was a monk's hat specially used for bhikkhunis, but it didn't matter. The key was the nun in front of him.
I drew my eyebrows and put on heavy makeup on my face.
The contrast was too great. No matter whether now or in future generations, Zhao Fuxiang had seen nuns who did not wear makeup. Now that the nun in front of him was wearing heavy makeup, Zhao Fuxiang couldn't help but take a second look.
The nun saw Zhao Fuxiang staring at her and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, why is this master you brought so rude? It makes the little monk's heart beat wildly!"
Zhao Chongfang looked back at Zhao Fuxiang and said with a smile: "Host, my eldest brother is probably attracted to you. Please stay with him for a while!"
The host Lai Quanqing gave Zhao Fuxiang a wink and said with a smile: "Master, if you want me to accompany you, it depends on whether you are willing to spend money!"
Zhao Fuxiang snorted and cursed: "You evil nun, I am the reincarnation of Vajra with the Angry Eyes of the West. I am here today to subjugate you, evil nun!"
When Lai Quanqing saw such a guest for the first time, he smiled slightly and said: "It turns out that I am the reincarnation of Vajra. I just don't know if the vajra is strong. Could it be a silver-like pewter spear head?"
Zhao Fuxiang chuckled, stretched out his hand to hug Lai Quanqing, put his hand into his arms and rubbed it vigorously, and cursed: "Abbott, you are really talented!"
This is the gate. When the cart drivers nearby saw Zhao Fuxiang blaspheming the abbot at the temple gate, especially when they saw the abbot's shoulders were half exposed and his jade eyes were hazy, they all opened their eyes wide for fear of missing anything!
Lai Quanqing had seen too many anxious guests like this. He turned around and came out of Zhao Fuxiang's arms, laughing and scolding: "Master, you are too anxious, can't you go in?"
Lai Quanqing finished straightening his clothes and led the way. Zhao Fuxiang and others followed behind and walked into Yaoshi'an.
The small temple of Yakushian is not big. Entering the gate is the main hall, which is the main hall dedicated to the Glazed Bodhisattva. However, the scale of this main hall is smaller and can only be called Xiaoxiong Hall.
Zhao Fuxiang and others walked into the main hall under the leadership of Lai Quanqing. In the middle was the Medicine Master Bodhisattva. Now that Medicine Master's Temple was rich, it was natural to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva. Zhao Fuxiang saw that the clay body was covered with a red Baina cassock. He really didn't know about the Medicine Master Bodhisattva.
If you see that your golden body was rebuilt with this kind of money, will you unleash the fury of thunder and strike Lai Quanqing to death?
However, Zhao Fuxiang had a thought, wouldn't future generations say that those who can make money are good comrades? In the past, this Medicine Master's Nunnery was about to close. If Lai Quanqing hadn't come here, the Bodhisattva's golden body would have been damaged long ago. So the Bodhisattva should be grateful to Lai Quanqing.
That's it.
Zhao Chongfang saw Zhao Fuxiang standing at the door in a daze and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you dazed? Why don't you offer incense to the Bodhisattva?"
Although Zhao Fuxiang is an atheist, Chinese people believe that no matter what god they are, they should worship before entering the temple. So Zhao Fuxiang followed Zhao Chongfang's example, took the incense candle from the hands of the little monk next to him, and placed it in the incense burner in front of the golden statue.
Then he knelt down and kowtowed and made a wish.
After half an hour, a chime rang. Zhao Fuxiang stood up and took out a ten-tael silver coin and put it in the merit box. When Lai Quanqing saw Zhao Fuxiang's generosity, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This Mr. Zhao spends a lot of money.
As expected, I am destined to be the Buddha!"
Zhao Fuxiang laughed and said: "Whether you have a chance or not depends on how you behave in a while. Master, I am not short of money. If you are happy with me, this little money is nothing!"
Lai Quanqing was overjoyed and personally led Zhao Fuxiang and others out of the main hall, turned around and walked into the back hall through the moon gate on the side.
