In the early morning, golden haze appeared on the horizon, the misty mist gradually dissipated, orchids stretched their charming waists lazily, water droplets slipped from the petals, and silently penetrated into the soil.

Shaolin Temple A beautiful day started, Yi Kong Yi Jing and Huizhen Huiming all got up early, either reading scriptures, or practicing martial arts, each busy.

Only the young abbot, under twenty years old, is still lying in bed, dating Goddess.

“Abbot Senior Brother, get up.”

Huo Yuanzhen opened his eyes hazy, Yi Jing was standing in front of his bed.

“What do you want? What have you done to me?” Huo Yuanzhen is still awake, still immersed in a beautiful dream, the pleasure has not dissipated, and now seeing Yi Jing, he thought it happened what.

“What do I want to do? A lot of people came down the mountain and said they wanted to see the abbot.”

“Oh! That’s it”.

Huo Yuanzhen got up, washed his face, put on his only earth-yellow robe, socks and cloth shoes, and walked out of the temple staggeringly.

About sixty or seventy people have gathered outside, and there are still people coming from down the mountain.

As soon as those people saw Huo Yuanzhen, they all said hello.

Ordinary people just say hello, those who are more knowledgeable are bowing their heads to Huo Yuanzhen, expressing respect for the abbot, but unfortunately they don’t know, Huo Yuanzhen feels particularly awkward about such greetings.

I used to say hello when we met, but now these people are salutes themselves, and they have to pretend.

“My patrons, I haven’t seen you overnight, and your style is still the same. It’s gratifying to congratulate you.”

Huo Yuanzhen said incoherent words, and asked Huizhen and the two to find a table and chair, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The two monks were more clever this time. Knowing that the abbot seemed to like to be in the limelight, they deliberately placed the table on a high place with stools on top.

Huo Yuanzhen clicked nodded with satisfaction, and then climbed up hard.

“Donors, this poor monk is the abbot of Shaolin. There are many affairs in the temple. Although I can tell you about Journey to the West in my spare time, it will not be too long. I hope all the donors will understand something.” .

Those people climbed the mountain to Shaolin early in the morning just to listen to Journey to the West, but the abbot of Little Monk said that he didn’t say much about the time, so he was a little dissatisfied.

In the beginning, you can’t find a better excuse if you make an excuse. Although this Shaolin Temple is called a temple, it is just such a big house. There are five monks in total, so how many affairs can it have.

Someone said, “Abbot, tell us a little longer.”

“Yes, what can I do?”

Huo Yuanzhen coughed: “Amitabha, it’s like this, today I was going to pay incense to the Buddha, you know, of course, the more the better to the Buddha, and it has to be changed constantly. , of course there is not much time for storytelling.”

“Don’t you have four more monks here? Let them do it.”

These people are not so easy to be fooled.

“The four of them are fine, but today they will go out to do things, so they can’t stay on the mountain.”

After Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, he winked at Huizhen and the others. They had already agreed, and they immediately bowed their heads to Huo Yuanzhen: “Abbot, then I’ll go down the mountain right now, and I’ll go down at night. return”.

After speaking, the four monks left without looking back.

“Look, there is only this poor monk in the temple now, and the incense needs to be changed frequently. I’m afraid I can’t tell you for too long.”

These people were still not reconciled, and after discussing for a while, some of them asked: “Abbot, is this ok, you have the incense ready, we have so many people here, we can take turns to help you replace it, you just need to Just say yours.”

“Amitabha, this method won’t work. My incense is called Wangxiang. Not only does it burn extremely fast, but it can’t be used under the guise of outsiders, otherwise it won’t work.”

“Then what should we do? Master Abbot, think of a way, we can’t just run for nothing.”

Huo Yuanzhen looked around and saw that there were already nearly 300 people, and there were no new ones. revealed his true colors.

“Also, this poor monk also has a middle way, that is, the donors can pay some incense money, and then they can take turns to offer incense, so that the Buddha will not only blame, but also bless everyone’s safety” .

“It’s easy to handle, abbot, how much is your incense time it takes to burn a stick of incense?”.

“It’s not expensive or expensive, it shouldn’t be charged, but in order not to be blamed by the Buddha, let’s take three coppers time it takes to burn a stick of incense”.

Everyone was not too surprised. The incense at the foot of the mountain also required two copper plates. There are only three here, which is not much. It seems that the abbot is really compassionate.

“I’ll buy time it takes to burn two sticks of incense first, Abbot, let’s talk”.

Someone started paying.

Huo Yuanzhen smiled slightly and pointed to a cloth bag in the corner, “There is incense there, you just need to throw down the copper plate, and then you can light the incense.”

The man walked over first, threw six copper plates into the bag, and then took out time it takes to burn two sticks of incense.

Coming to the statue of Buddha, the man also bowed a few times, and then ordered time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Seeing that the incense had begun to burn, Huo Yuanzhen also began to explain.

Yesterday I talked about Sun Wukong going to Bodhi Ancestor Master to learn ability, but today I haven’t talked about learning 72 Transformations, the incense over there is about to burn out.

“Donor, don’t let the incense go out, otherwise this poor monk can only interrupt today’s lecture.”

The man was listening intently, and when he looked back, the incense was really about to go out.

“This,, this incense burns very fast!”.

No wonder this person is surprised, it seems that it’s less than five minutes, how can time it takes to burn a stick of incense bottom out.

He walked over quickly and lit the other time it takes to burn a stick of incense. The man picked up the incense and looked at it, “Why does this incense smell like oil?”.

“Amitabha, the incense has oil, and it can burn more vigorously, hence the name of the incense.

Originally, this person suspected that Huo Yuanzhen had done tricks on the incense, but now that he heard it to bless himself more, he didn’t feel anything, and walked back with a smile.

When other people see this situation, firstly, they think that time it takes to burn a stick of incense will not last for a while, and secondly, since they are here, they just put incense sticks to ask for peace or something.

So another person walked over, dropped the copper coins and picked up the incense candles, waiting for the incense to burn out for the relay.

Seeing that more and more people went to exchange money for incense candles, Huo Yuanzhen finally let go.

It’s a good start at last. I originally planned to let Huizhen and the others change their clothes and put on a hat as a support if it can’t go on. Now there is no need to take this risk.

Some people also think that listening to a story is not worth spending money on incense, but the story of the abbot is wonderful. I’m afraid I can’t sleep well when I get home.

Besides, everyone pays for it, and it seems too petty if you don’t pay yourself.

Most of the people present paid money to buy incense candles and went to battle in shifts. As soon as the incense candles appeared to be extinguished, the people behind them immediately followed to prevent the incense burners from breaking. Just focus on telling the story.

“hehe, let’s burn it, a stick of incense dipped in oil for 3 minutes, I have a copper plate in the incense candle shop time it takes to burn a stick of incense from wholesale, I will earn two copper plates in 3 minutes , an hour is forty copper coins, if I talk for five hours today, I can earn two hundred copper coins, which is two silver tael, it is really not difficult to make money.”

The incense is constantly burning over there, and Huo Yuanzhen’s explanation here is also constant. It was not until noon that he talked about the Sun Wukong Dragon Palace Borrowing Treasure. After the entire Journey to the West is finished, it is estimated that one month will not be enough.

“It is said that Sun Wukong took this stick, as big as he wanted, as small as he wanted, as long as he wanted, as short as short, as hard as hard, as soft as he wanted, cough,, , It’s getting late today, so I’ll stop here, I still have a lunch class, and I have to practice boxing in the afternoon. If you want to hear, please come early tomorrow.”

This stick made the people around me very appetizing. Although it was reluctant, Huo Yuanzhen went on strike and could only disperse helplessly. Everyone thought that if the stick grew on their own body. How nice.

Watching the crowd disperse, Huo Yuanzhen got off the table, ready to count the money.

I just got down and found that there is still one person who has not left.

“This donor, this poor monk’s lecture today is over.”

“Abbot, there is no one else anymore. We all understand people. I know you want to make money. Do you think this is good? When you tell stories in the future, I will find someone to record them, etc. Your story is finished, and my book is finished, even if I buy this book from you, I can find someone to take this story to other towns to tell it later.”

Huo Yuanzhen took a closer look at this man, dressed in extraordinary clothes, as if he had a bit of identity, with a mustache and a shrewd look on his face.

“I don’t know what to call this donor?”.

“My surname is Qian, but I am the boss of the bank in Luye Town”.

“The money donor, since you can see the story of this poor monk, please come to this poor monk’s room to talk about it.”

Huo Yuanzhen was so excited that someone gave him a pillow just when he wanted to doze off. Anyway, this Journey to the West couldn’t be continued after he finished speaking. It might as well be like this, which is equivalent to buying the copyright of a story. This Boss Qian has the vision and knows the great value of this story, but the price needs to be negotiated.

Well, selling money by set should be a good idea.
