Chapter 119 Dojo
What on earth is it?
Fang Yi was not the only one who was curious.
Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu both looked curious.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Lu Tingsong slowly took out a file bag.
Seeing this, Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu almost fainted.
Ning Zhongshu said speechlessly: "Old Lu, you are not going to send a 'shrine' like us, right?"
Zhao Youde didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If you want to send it to the shrine, just tell me earlier. We can change it to something else."
Fang Yi had noticed this folder a long time ago.
But at that time he thought it was some confidential document, so he didn't use his senses to investigate.
I never thought that this folder would actually be my reward.
This time he had no scruples and directly used his sense to check.
At the same time, Lu Tingsong said with a smile: "I want to give a shrine to Master Fang, but it is not an ordinary shrine."
"It's not an ordinary shrine?" Zhao Youde asked in confusion, "Why is it not ordinary?"
Lu Tingsong let out a chuckle and said, "Not only will I give a shrine to the immortal, but it will also be a true Taoist temple!"
"What?"
"Giving away a real dojo? You are so generous!"
Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu were shocked.
Fang Yi, who had already seen the contents of the document, was indeed somewhat surprised by Lu Tingsong's generosity.
A dojo is different from a shrine.
Generally speaking, a shrine is at most a single building and does not occupy too much land.
Where is the dojo?
Some large temples are located on an entire mountain.
Even a small dojo would not be too small.
Lu Tingsong smiled slightly and said, "I spent a lot of money to get the religious venue license for some areas of this mountain."
Ning Zhongshu sighed and said, "Such a big move must have cost a lot. I admire you."
Zhao Youde agreed with this and said, "I'm afraid that Old Lu has exchanged a lot of benefits for this."
Fang Yi understood what they meant.
Lu Tingsong said that there was only one "religious activity venue license."
In fact, everyone knows that it also includes the temple building, land and other aspects.
Ning Zhongshu said in confusion: "There are basically Buddhist and Taoist religious sites in all the major famous mountains in the country. Which mountain did you take?"
Lu Tingsong said: "Huangshan."
Zhao Youde suddenly realized and said, "I thought so. Although Huangshan is a famous Taoist mountain, there is no Taoist temple there for various reasons. Besides, it has an original site of a deity, so it is indeed more convenient to build a Taoist temple here."
Fang Yi was very clear about this.
There is a saying about the famous cultural mountains in China, namely “Three Mountains and Five Peaks”.
Everyone knows the Five Mountains.
The three mountains refer to Huangshan Mountain, Lushan Mountain and Yandang Mountain.
There were many records related to Taoism in Huangshan in the past.
For example, Huangdi achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven by refining elixirs with Rongchengzi and Fuqiugong in Huangshan.
For example, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were a series of famous Taoist temples such as Jiulong Temple, Shengzhen Temple, and Buyun Pavilion.
However, with the decline of Taoism in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Qing Dynasty relied on Tibetan Buddhism to win over the Mongolian and Tibetan peoples, and Han Buddhism flourished.
Therefore, many Taoist temples in Huangshan were gradually abolished, and some were even converted into Buddhist temples.
Finally, a lot of things have happened in modern society.
Not only are there no Taoist temples left, but even Buddhist temples are few and far between.
Of course, if you want to rebuild a Taoist temple here, the difficulty level is relatively low.
But even so, when Fang Yi saw the "40,000 square meters" planned in the document, he couldn't help but sigh that Lu Tingsong's plan was indeed very big.
You should know that the Tianshi Mansion covers an area of only 42,000 square meters.
But after all, the Successor Han Tianshi Mansion is the leader of the Zhengyi faction of Taoism, and it was awarded by the imperial court in ancient times. Therefore, Lu Tingsong deliberately controlled the area of the Taoist temple to be built for Fang Yi to 40,000 square meters, in order to avoid attracting criticism.
At this time, Lu Tingsong respectfully handed the document to Fang Yi, "Master, please sign it. After signing, we can start the construction."
Although the temptation was very great, Fang Yi still shook his head and said, "I don't have time to take care of the Taoist temple, or... forget it."
Lu Tingsong said with a smile: "You don't need to take care of it yourself. Once the dojo is built, I will help you find someone to run it slowly."
He paused for a moment, perhaps because he was afraid that Fang Yi would refuse, and added, "I know you are not interested in money, but what about your family? As long as this temple is managed well, it can be passed down from generation to generation."
These words touched Fang Yi's heart.
I don't need money.
Or maybe it's not that necessary.
But it doesn’t mean that my family doesn’t need it either.
The most important thing is that once you have a temple, you will have religious "power".
After thinking for a while, Fang Yi decided to accept the dojo, "Okay, give me a pen."
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Tingsong was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll give it to you right away."
Then he pulled a pen from his watch pocket.
Fang Yi signed his name on it and said, "Thank you, Lao Lu."
When Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu heard Fang Yi change his address, they looked envious.
Lu Tingsong was overjoyed.
Before, Fang Yi always called him "Mr. Lu".
It's obviously a very polite name.
Now he is called "Lao Lu", and everyone knows that their relationship is close.
He was flattered and said, "I should be the one thanking you for curing my dad."
Fang Yi didn't like to talk much, he just nodded slightly and signed his name according to the other party's instructions.
It is filled with various documents, such as religious activity venue permits, conversion certificates, ordination certificates, land use certificates, and so on.
Anyway, all the things that need to be taken into consideration can be found in these documents.
Once you sign your name in the signature box at the lower right corner of the last page, the document will become officially effective.
He originally wanted to look up and chat with everyone for a few minutes before leaving.
Who knows, when the last stroke of the name is put.
He actually heard bursts of "prayer" in his ears!
"God, I am your most devout believer, Mei Junyan. After we parted at the Jinglian Temple, I have searched all over Jiaxing but have never seen your divine face again. I hope that one day I can see my god descend again."
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment.
Um?
How come I can hear someone praying the most sincerely to me?
He found it extremely incredible.
Although this kind of thing has happened before, it usually requires the enlightenment technique to be activated.
If the enlightenment technique had not been activated, such a thing would never have happened.
Now he didn't even start the teaching technique, but he still received the prayer?
Still clearly audible!
Mei Junyan?
That beautiful young woman you saw at Jiaxing Jingyan Temple last time?
Fang Yi remembered that he used the teaching technique to enter the hall in stealth.
Not only could the beautiful young woman see him, but she also reached out to pull him aside when he wanted to leave.
So the memory is particularly profound.
Just when Fang Yi was stunned.
The sound of devout "prayer" came into his consciousness again.
But this time it was not the person named "Mei Junyan".
But it was Xu Xiaoli who was standing behind him.
"Master is so handsome. I wish I could be as powerful as him one day. No, if I could be even one percent as powerful as him, I would be very satisfied."
"Why is Master so awesome? I really admire him..."
The content of Xu Xiaoli’s “prayer” is completely different from Mei Junyan’s. It is basically all about worshipping herself.
Fang Yi couldn't help but glance back and found Xu Xiaoli was "in a daze".
Well, so her “daydreaming” is a way of praying the most sincerely to herself?
Fang Yi was silent for about ten minutes.
During this time, I heard not only Mei Junyan and Xu Xiaoli praying.
I also heard Lu Shisheng, Zhang Tianshi, Taoist Li, Li Guangliang, Zhu Changqing and many others praying.
It’s just that those people aren’t that strong, and only appear once every few minutes.
Unlike Mei Junyan and Xu Xiaoli.
I pray to myself devoutly almost all the time.
Fang Yi was really confused and couldn't understand what was going on.
And at this moment, he felt his soul suddenly jump.
It seems like there's something extra.
But now is not the time for my soul to leave my body, so it is not convenient to check.
Suddenly, Fang Yi noticed the documents he had just signed, and he suddenly understood something!
"Many gods in ancient times were either canonized by the imperial court or worshipped by various religions, such as Guandi, Laozi, Mazu, and City God. Some of them were originally mortals, but only became gods after being canonized by the imperial court. Guandi is a good example. He was originally a person in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, he was first worshipped as a temple guardian by Buddhism. Then, he was canonized as a god since he entered the Martial Temple in the Tang Dynasty."
Thinking of this, Fang Yi couldn't help but make a bold guess, "Now that I have signed these documents, does that mean I have become a god within the scope of official permission? In other words, I have been deified?"
He was a little impatient and was eager to find out what was going on.
So Fang Yi said to Lu Tingsong, Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu: "Excuse me, everyone. I suddenly remembered that I have some things to deal with. How about we talk again when we have a chance?"
"Okay, okay, you're busy."
"Then we'll take our leave first."
Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu quickly stood up.
But there was still a hint of expectation in their eyes.
It seemed as if they were hoping that Fang Yi could give them some "magic medicine" or something else.
Fang Yi was now only focused on figuring out whether he had been "deified". Even though he noticed the expectant looks in their eyes, he had no time to satisfy their requests.
Zhao Youde and Ning Zhongshu left.
Seeing that Fang Yi was worried, Lu Tingsong tactfully made an excuse to leave.
Only then did Fang Yi close his eyes and his soul left his body.
I want to see what’s new in my soul.
As a result, as soon as his soul left his body, he was shocked to find something.
There is an additional energy field in the soul!
