You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 54 Reluctantly
After the two monks explained carefully to them, they let the two monks leave.

On this day, people nearby worked hard to build the courtyard wall and treated Decheng Zhenren and his party with more sincerity.

In the evening, the people who repaired the courtyard wall left, leaving behind a pile of river sand, mountain mud and river rocks.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng meditate, while Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan make mud bricks with care.

As the night got darker, Master Decheng replaced Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan so that they could meditate at ease.

It was a very peaceful night, with no water droplets floating around.

Therefore, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng had some guesses, but they still had to wait for the monks from Guanghua Temple to come before they could verify it again.

When the sky was dimming, people from nearby came. As they were building the courtyard wall, they said: "When I was a child, I heard my grandpa say that the water from the well in Shoushan Temple is delicious and tastes the same as the spring water in the mountain.

Have any of you seen the well cover in the temple? "

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng walked around the temple, stopped at several places, and asked the speaker: "Your grandfather said how many wells there are in Shoushan Temple?"

"There has to be a well. My grandpa didn't have it two years ago. Archie, why don't you go back and ask your old man?"

"You can't ask. If you ask, he will rush over to worship Buddha."

"The grandfather of the Aqi family is too old. Even if he wants to come, he has to wait until Shoushan Temple is repaired.

The Buddhist hall is too dilapidated. Let's put up the courtyard walls and tidy up the Buddhist hall. "

While they were discussing, they looked at the expressions of Master Decheng and his party.

Master Decheng looked at the brand-new courtyard wall, then at the dilapidated Buddhist hall, and turned to Master Shanzheng and said, "Let's go dig sand from the river."

The four of them went to the river. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan first went to see the fish swimming in the river. There was a look of regret in their eyes.

"Well, as monks, we naturally have to abide by the rules."

Shi Zelan touched her bald head: "I can't always pretend to be a monk, right?"

Master Decheng said to Master Shanzheng: "I think they will tear down the Buddhist hall and rebuild it."

Master Shanzheng nodded: "We don't have to go back in a hurry, let them do their thing."

While they were talking, they dug a pile of river sand and piled it aside. When people nearby came to look for it, they just picked the river sand back.

At noon, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan said they would sit quietly by the river.

Master Decheng, Master Shanzheng and the people who came said that they just needed to dig more river sand and make more mud bricks at night.

People nearby all know that the four people of Decheng Zhenren are eating wild vegetable pancakes these days.

They wanted to bring them food from home, but they declined.

"We monks do not eat non-vegetarian food."

Decheng Zhenren and his party did not intend to be implicated in too many causes and effects, so they kept a certain distance from the people nearby.

The people nearby initially suspected that Master Decheng and his party had ulterior motives and were unwilling to get close to them.

Until the monks from Guanghua Temple arrived, they were less guarded against Master Decheng and his party.

But the monks from Guanghua Temple left soon, and they were on guard against Master Decheng and his party.

Master Decheng and his party were at the river. They were also worried about what Master Decheng and his party would do, so they specially arranged for five or six half-sized children to play by the river. At Shenshi, five great monks came to Guanghua Temple this time. They entered the mountain guarding area, and the people who built the courtyard wall cheered.

Master Decheng opened his eyes and said to Master Shanzheng: "People from Guanghua Temple are here, but they still believe in the monks of Guanghua Temple."

Master Decheng and his party walked to Shoushan Temple, and the children by the river cheered. They stayed there for most of the day, while Master Decheng sat quietly and did not dare to speak loudly.

The children immediately ran forward. The adults at home had told them before that they should not go around Shouzanji Temple.

The children ran to Shoushan Temple and saw the newly built courtyard wall. They all exclaimed: "There is no weird smell here anymore."

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at the nearly two-meter-high courtyard wall and heard the voices inside, so they stepped in.

When the monks from Guanghua Temple saw Master Decheng and his party, they stood up and saluted, and Master Decheng returned the salute.

People nearby have told the monks of Guanghua Temple that the old Buddhist temple will be demolished and rebuilt.

The monks from Guanghua Temple went inside to see the Buddha statue, and they decided to have a good talk with Master Decheng and his party.

It was getting dark, the courtyard walls were built, and the Buddhist hall was almost demolished.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were sitting at the entrance of the temple. The demolished Buddhist hall always gave them a not-so-pleasant feeling.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other, and then at the five great monks of Guanghua Temple who also frowned.

A monk who came before came over and said to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "After the temple was demolished, why do I feel that the air pressure here is low?"

Master Decheng sighed: "The people who built Shoushan Temple back then must have had great merit. Only in these years can the existence of Shoushan Temple be preserved."

The monk's expression changed, and he looked at the standing Buddha statue: "What did this Buddha statue look like before?"

Shi Xiaoliu gave him a sign, and he quickly went over to talk to his brothers.

Shi Zelan whispered to Shi Xiaoliu: "Have you ever felt that the light on the Buddha statue has become much darker?"

Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "Look at the cornerstone under the Buddha statue."

Shi Zelan looked at the foundation stone with more and more cracks and said: "There has never been a well in the temple. After so many years of ups and downs, it is conceivable that the foundation stone is like this."

When the monks from Guanghua Temple heard Shi Zelan's words, they immediately got up and walked around Shoushan Temple.

After they came back, they said: "Shoushan Temple must have a well, and we checked the records before coming here, and there should be three wells."

They came to ask Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng for their opinions. Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng saw the bubbles gathering in the air again and sighed: "You are here, and the bubbles have also appeared."

"Master Dacheng, there were no blisters in the temple last night?"

"No, we had never seen blisters before you came here."

The leading monk from Guanghua Temple drew pictures on the ground with his fingers, and looked at Master Decheng and his party: "I know you are rare masters, and I would like to ask you to help me with this matter."

After Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other, Master Shanzheng said to him: "You said that there is a well in Shoushan, but now there is no well, only the water bubbles you have floating here.

I think that after dawn tomorrow, you all should look for the wellhead in the temple.

We are outsiders, and the more we do such great meritorious deeds, the less beneficial they will be to you. "

The great monk felt the sincerity of Master Shan Zheng, so he no longer forced Master Decheng and his party.
