Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World

Huo Yuanzhen got off the table and said to the two: “Two Senior Brothers, how is your income today?”.

“Ah! This Junior Brother, this,, this is really amazing, do you know that today there are more than 200 copper plates, and there are more than three taels of silver. ,, uh, Amitabha, Buddha Atonement, Disciple is greedy”.

Huo Yuanzhen chuckled inwardly, who all wants to eat, and so does the monk.

“Okay, two Senior Brothers, let’s share the money on the spot, and then leave.”

The two monks looked at each other, and the older one said, “This junior brother, frankly, we senior and junior brothers have long since lost the monastery, and now they are wandering around. I didn’t stop, and I didn’t dare to go anywhere. Just now, I heard Junior Brother say that you belong to Shaolin Temple, which must be the Zen temple you are in. I don’t know what your temple is like?”.

“Here it is!”.

Huo Yuanzhen was secretly happy in his heart, but without showing any expression on his face, he pondered for a moment: “Our monastery is also newly built, and there are two people besides me.”

“Are those two masters?”.

“My Master passed away a few days ago”.

“Amitabha!”.

The two monks bowed their heads to express their condolences, and then said, “I wonder if your temple can accommodate foreign monks?”.

“Although there is no precedent for this, I have now taken over as the abbot of this monastery. If it is a person who has passed the test of character and is not greedy and does not occupy it, it can naturally be considered.”

“Abbot!”.

Two monks startled, didn’t expect that the monk in front of him who was acting like a beggar was actually an abbot, you can’t judge a person by appearance.

“It turned out to be the Master Abbot, this poor monk senior and junior brothers disrespectful”.

The two monks hurriedly saluted Huo Yuanzhen. This time, it was a real salutation, not a perfunctory one. Buddhists are very disciplined. None of the wandering monks are comparable.

Huo Yuanzhen slightly disavowed and made a bow.

Seeing Huo Yuanzhen showing restraint, the monk hurriedly handed all the money to Huo Yuanzhen.

“Master Abbot, we senior and junior brothers didn’t make any efforts to earn these money, and we won’t be rewarded without merit. You should take it back.”

“Then why are you embarrassed? Let’s say each person gets half”.

Huo Yuanzhen said politely, but took the money over, without any intention of letting go.

The monk glanced at the coins, tried his best to look away, calmed his mind, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: “Master Abbot, although he said that family members should not be greedy for money, but we also need money and food, after all. It’s not safe to rely on alms alone, it’s better to have a little backup. It’s just that we have been wandering outside for a few years and know that the money will not last long. Even if all this money is given to us, I’m afraid it won’t last for less than half a year. We will definitely be able to carry forward the Dharma in the future, and we are willing to join your temple so that we can settle down.”

“In that case,,, well, seeing that you two admire me Shaolin so much, then I reluctantly agreed, and you follow me up the mountain today.”

It was done, and Huo Yuanzhen took it a little and collected the money.

He really needs money right now. He has no food on the mountain, not to mention, and he still has several places where he needs to spend a lot of money.

The buildings in the temple can be extracted by construction tokens, but there are several items that cannot be extracted. For example, the temple needs to be leveled and then paved with bluestone, which requires money.

The Shaolin Temple envisaged by Huo Yuanzhen is a monastery with a very large area. It is impossible to succeed without a thousand silver taels.

There is also a fence, which costs a lot.

In addition, the road up the mountain needs to be repaired, at least to be built into bluestone steps, which is even more expensive than paving.

The matter was settled, and the two monks asked Huo Yuanzhen’s name.

“this poor monk Yi Jie”.

“Amitabha, Abbot Yi Jie is polite, this poor monk is called Huizhen, this is this poor monk’s Junior Brother Huiming”.

“Well, let’s see, the two of you enter my Shaolin outer sect first, we will be called senior and junior brothers for the time being, and we will wait until the performance of the two of you in the future before deciding whether you will join the inner sect”.

“The abbot is merciful, this poor monk will never disappoint the abbot.”

Huizhen Huiming once again saluted Huo Yuanzhen. This time they really paid attention. The monks also value their face very much. Now they have joined Shaolin. If they can’t even enter the Inner Sect, it will be a shame Bodhisattva Heart to Yi Jie Master.

They simply don’t know, Shaolin Temple simply doesn’t say anything about Inner Sect outer sect, this is also what Huo Yuanzhen came up with temporarily, this mechanism should be feasible, there is pressure to have motivation, and there is no reward and punishment system, These monks don’t pay much attention to actual interests. They pay more attention to the false name. When the time comes, they will naturally strive for the upper reaches of the false name. Huo Yuanzhen grasped their psychology and made this mechanism temporarily. It will also be promoted in Shaolin in the future.

With two newcomers, Huo Yuanzhen started shopping. Because the market had already dispersed, he could only go to those shops to buy a lot of ingredients and supplies.

Huizhen and Huiming are also in good physical fitness. It seems that they have practiced kung fu for several years. Under the strong request of the two of them, Huo Yuanzhen is happy to relax, and the two big burdens are all given to them. The two carry.

After a busy day, the three of them went up the mountain.

After arriving at Shaolin Temple, it was already nighttime. Yi Kong and Yi Jing were about to sleep when they found Huo Yuanzhen back.

Originally they didn’t plan to come out to greet them, but when they heard that they were not alone, they couldn’t sleep.

You must know that from the establishment of the Shaolin Temple to the present, there are no more than ten people outside except for the four masters and disciples. Among them, there are three beggars and two medicines. Yes, a woodcutter, and a shepherdess came once, and a thief, but none of the hair was stolen.

It’s the middle of the night today, and there are still outsiders coming.

Huo Yuanzhen introduced the four to each other, and told Yi Kong Yi Jing that Huizhen and Huiming were also Shaolin Disciple from now on, and everyone would be called senior and junior brothers in the future.

Yi Jing was better, and didn’t care much about things other than martial arts. His attention was quickly attracted by the two packages of ingredients that Huo Yuanzhen brought back.

Yi Kong is different. To say that they are senior and junior brothers, Yi Kong is a relatively normal monk and a relatively normal person. , but these three people are too familiar, and they can’t show their prestige even if they want to show off.

But now that he is a newcomer, and he seems to be familiar with the Dharma in his words, Yi Kong immediately felt threatened.

“Not good, the position of Dharma expert is not guaranteed”.

Yi Kong felt the pressure, and even put on a cold attitude, greeting Huizhen and Huiming, haha, to highlight his special status in the temple.

Hui Ming’s temperament is also relatively mild, and he doesn’t care about it.

The two of them started talking for a few words, and then when they talked about the Dharma, they actually argued with each other.

Seeing two people give way to the other as soon as they meet, Huo Yuanzhen doesn’t interfere. That’s alright. There is competition and pressure. Popularity.

However, all developments must be within their own control.

“Okay, the four of you will sleep in the same room in the future, let’s have a rest early”.

Although Yi Kong wanted to say it was crowded, he knew that he respected the authority of the abbot in front of newcomers and did not speak.

Only Yi Jing, the stunned young man, seemed to want to say something, but Huo Yuanzhen glared at her and didn’t say anything.

After arranging the four monks who were not quite right, Huo Yuanzhen went back to his room and lay down and started to figure it out.

Shaolin’s house is too tense, this small temple may not be able to retain people for a long time, the current priority is not the problem of martial arts, but the need to expand great territory as soon as possible.

At least two houses are built for everyone to rest, and it is not a problem to live in a Buddhist hall.

It all takes money.

Wait for tomorrow, tomorrow will be just fine, after tonight and tomorrow morning, there should be a lot of people coming to the mountain to listen to the story of Journey to the West, when the time comes with popularity, and money will naturally flow.

Having a sweet dream, Huo Yuanzhen spent another night on the wooden bed.
