In the previous life, the county government arrest chief was equivalent to a member of the county party committee and the director of public security, while the police officer was just an unorganized co-policeman. Li Gongfu, who had never had great ambitions, couldn't help but feel that he would become a county government arrest chief in the future.
Her mouth was full of joy, and when she heard that her marriage had been settled, she was even more elated, and she suddenly became much more attentive to Fa Hai.
Under the leadership of Li Gongfu, everyone came to the county government office without any hindrance and met Yang Zhixian, the current county magistrate of Qiantang. Yang Zhixian was a fat man with an exquisite appearance and cunning features. As soon as he saw the formation of Hai and others, he immediately
Knowing that he had political achievements to record, he not only met with the monks of Fahai in a grand manner, but also delivered a passionate speech in public, fully affirming the monks of Jinshan Temple for their righteous deeds of killing tigers and demons, and hosted a sumptuous fasting banquet.
Entertained Fa Hai and others.
As soon as Fa Hai and others left, Magistrate Yang immediately ordered the two unlucky tiger monsters to be slaughtered. One was given to the onlookers to taste in public to show his commitment to protecting the country and the people. He sent someone to send the other one overnight.
Went to the county government to report the good news and ask for merit.
Throughout the ages, the imperial court has had the greatest influence on the people. After the county government's efforts, Jinshan Temple was equivalent to official recognition. In one day, it became the hottest topic in Qiantang County.
So far, with the help of the two little demons that Bai Dai got from nowhere, Fahai not only successfully reversed the negative image of Jinshan Temple left by the people of Qiantang County, but also established a good image of bravely fighting demons and protecting all living beings.
On the way back, Fa Er, who had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, finally complained to Fa Hai.
"Senior brother, we monks who regard all living beings as ants, do we need to attach so much importance to a small county government?"
"What Lao Na pays attention to is not the county government, but the people's hearts in Qiantang. Remember, never underestimate the influence of the imperial court. I think back then, when the three Qing Dynasties jointly pledged the list of gods, they still had to use the imperial court as a platform. This is true even for saints, let alone us.
Little monk, as for treating all living beings as ants, don’t say such words in the future, because it is completely nonsense. In all the worlds, who can breathe, who dares to say that he does not belong to all living beings?"
"But that's what everyone says?"
"All living beings are like a mountain peak. Although monks are at the top and look down on the world, they are only a corner of the mountain. Mortals are the cornerstone of this mountain. How can it be easily judged which one is lighter or more important?"
Fahai still looked confused. Fahai suddenly smiled and said, "How powerful the worldly power is is difficult to quantify, but it can often affect many things... For example, these monks who are following us secretly now
, If it weren’t for the concern that we had just won the hearts and minds of Qiantang County, I’m afraid they would have come up to fight us long ago.”
When Fa Er heard this, he said with disdain, "They are just clowns. I can crush them to death with just one finger."
"If you don't have the support of the people, crushing them to death is just bullying the weak. With the support of the people, crushing them to death is called eradicating violence and bringing peace to the people. This is standing on the commanding heights of morality, which is what Miaoshan and I are pursuing. Now, she is far away
They have left me behind, so I have to catch up, otherwise..."
Fahai did not continue. Fahai in the previous life of the White Snake had already given a good explanation of this "otherwise".
"Senior brother, do you want to..."
"No, let's go our own way and let them follow us."
Jinshan Temple suddenly appeared. Some people are curious and some are jealous. This is a normal phenomenon. Since Fahai has made up his mind to focus on secular development, he is not prepared to have too much involvement with the world of cultivation. Therefore, for the monks who are following him, he
He simply chose to turn a blind eye and took Fa Er and others back to Jinshan.
On the day we returned to Jinshan, there were pilgrims at Jinshan Temple. Although there were only three or five people, Fahai was extremely excited. He even condescended to come and accompany him in person, and used the patience of Zen Master Wudu to "accompany them" one by one.
Give me some pointers" and let them go away satisfied.
On the second day, the number of pilgrims on the mountain began to increase, and Fa Hai was a little overwhelmed. However, he was not at ease leaving the matter of knowing the guests to Fa Er and a group of demons and ghosts. He couldn't help but recruit professional monks because he was not able to do anything.
public thoughts.
Early on the third day, Fa Hai was about to go down the mountain to recruit monks, but he saw Fa Er excitedly bringing more than twenty monks from the mountain. When Fa Hai saw it, he was immediately overjoyed. These twenty monks turned out to be living outside.
A disciple of Dalin Lower Court.
After Dalin was destroyed, the disciples of the lower court who were not practicing spiritual practice were not qualified to enter Shaolin with Elder Wuxiang. After being dismissed, they could only find their own way out in the world. Many of them chose to come to the wealthy Jiangnan to beg for food. Qiantang County was
Jiangnan's largest county is naturally the first choice for everyone to stay.
The day before yesterday, Jinshan Temple carried a tiger into the city with great fanfare. These disciples of the Lower Court happened to be at the scene. They recognized Fa Er at a glance, the first direct disciple who often hung out in the Lower Court. Seeing that Fa Er was so prosperous, they had the idea of joining him.
, everyone gathered together and went up to Jinshan Mountain together.
Among the more than 20 disciples living in Qiantang, there were three of Fahai's old subordinates in Dalin Lower Court: Bu Yuan, Bu Fang and Bu Zi. These three people did not have much cultivation back then. However, after Fa Hai left,
They gained the trust and favor of Zen Master Wudu, who secretly opened some small stoves for them, allowing them to successfully enter the secret realm of immortality, so they can survive to this day.
Different from other disciples, Bu Yuan and the others felt as if they had found an organization when they saw the old Shang Fa Hai. They all cried together and let Fa Hai and Fa Er comfort them with kind words for a long time. Then they calmed down and said goodbye to the two of them again.
Affection.
Fa Hai was also extremely emotional when he met Dalin's fellow disciples again. After all, he had lived in Dalin for so many years, and this feeling was difficult to erase. What's more, he was one of the senior officials of Dalin, ranked as the deputy seat of the first hospital, and was entrusted by the abbot.
After his death, although he rejected the position of supreme leader, he could never let go of his feelings and responsibility for Dalin.
Putting aside feelings and responsibilities, Fahai really needs these disciples of Dalin's Lower Court now. These disciples of the Lower Court have been working in the Lower Court all year round. They know the fragrances and guests, and take care of the temple property. It can be said that they have rich experience. Moreover, they are all people who can know the basics and use them.
It also sounds much more reassuring than a temporarily recruited monk.
So after a brief reminiscence of old times, all these Dalin disciples were admitted to Jinshan Temple by Fahai, and their work was still the same as that of Dalin, responsible for the secular affairs of Jinshan Temple.
Under Fahai's deliberate arrangement, his three old subordinates, the chubby monk Bu Yuan, are still responsible for managing the temple properties up and down the mountain as the food master, and the square monk Bu Fang also works as the incense master.
, Ba Mian Linglong and another monk named Bu Yun are responsible for the most important guest knowledge of Jinshan Temple together with Wang Xingren and Bai Hu Shaojun.
Of course, as the facade of Jinshan Temple, the Zhikeshi must have a dharma title, so Fahai gave Wang Xingren and Baihu Shaojun the dharma names, Bu San, Bu Si.
