Before Qin Yuan could speak, Shi Xinyong came up and said with a smile:
"My humble humble servant, Shi Xinyong, greets my two sisters-in-law."
"I am honored to be the chief abbot of the Sufan Temple and the general director of the Zen Buddhist Council. I have a certain reputation in Jingzhou."
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo board about a foot long from his sleeve and handed it to the monks with both hands. "This is my business card. Please accept it, my two sisters-in-law."
"If you need anything, just bring this business card to me!"
"I have long heard that my two sisters-in-law are as beautiful as fairies, stunning the whole country. Now that I have seen your majesty, I know that the rumors were biased. This is clearly the celestial concubine descended to earth!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yanran's face turned even redder, looking dizzy and adorable.
Ming Zhanxue accepted the business card graciously and said with a smile, "Thank you, Abbot."
It’s this 24k pure gold business card again.
Late at night, Qin Yuan was almost dazzled by the bamboo and gold-embossed business card again.
"Abbot, why are you here?"
Qin Yuan stood in front of the two of them without explaining Murong Yanran's identity.
Murong Yanran's face immediately turned red, and her face became even redder.
Shi Xinyong sighed and said, "Alas..."
"This is a long story."
"Since Brother Qin asked, I'll be honest. I came here to look for someone."
"Oh?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Could it be that he's here to look for an old man with a cloth sign with four large characters written on it: 'Jade Craftsman Yu Sou'?"
"That's right! Brother Qin, do you know where my great-uncle master is?" Shi Xinyong's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
Qin Yuan pointed to the stall behind him and said with a smile: "Look at that old man, right?"
Shi Xinyong immediately led a group of monks to rush over.
"Ouch! Great-uncle Master!"
"I set up a stall for you at the Sufan Temple, why are you setting up another stall here?"
"Even if the Grand Master has commanded you to find someone who has a connection with the Buddha, you should look for them among the faithful men and women who come to the temple."
"This person has a connection with the Buddha. I think he must be someone who is devoted to worshipping the Buddha."
"How can we find it in such a remote place?"
"In the end, it must have been a waste of effort!"
“…”
Shi Xinyong is still chattering, tirelessly talking
But Yu Sou was concentrating on untying the jade, as if he didn't hear anything.
"Oh, uncle-master, I really beg you--" Shi Xinyong said with tears in his eyes.
However, there was still no response.
Helpless, I had to wave my hands.
Seeing this, the monks behind him hurriedly helped Yu Sou clean up the stall.
Following the principle of eating melons when they are available, Qin Yuan brought the two women back and asked, "Abbot, what's going on?"
Shi Xinyong glanced at the jade craftsman who was concentrating on cutting the stone and sighed, "Alas, Brother Qin, I won't hide it from you. This is all the work of the Taoist sect!"
Why is it related to Taoism?
Qin Yuan and the other two immediately pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.
Shi Xinyong spoke eloquently: "This has to start with the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."
"Thirty years ago, the Taoist sect found nine Taoists proficient in divination and worked together to deduce the secrets of heaven. They discovered that the secrets of heaven for the next hundred years were obscure and unclear, a sign of great misfortune."
"For the survival of the Daoist sect, these Daoists have worked tirelessly and finally found a glimmer of hope!"
"That is to find the person who carries the destiny and bring him into the Dao sect. With the favor of Heaven, the Dao sect will surely flourish!"
Seeing that Qin Yuan and the other two were very confused.
Shi Xinyong began to tell the story again: "Brother Qin must think this is nothing, right?"
"But that's where things go wrong."
"The Dao sect has calculated the secrets of heaven, and my Buddhist sect is showing weakness?"
"So he summoned eighteen great monks to discuss Zen."
"What a coincidence! There is a destined person who can lead the Buddhist community to flourish."
"So, they chose this little monk, my great-grandmaster, as their messenger and asked him to go into the world and find the one with whom he was destined to be."
"It's been thirty years, there's no such thing as a destined person..."
Then he slowly approached Qin Yuan and whispered, "These are just tricks to fool people."
"What's the matter with destiny?"
"After all, it's all about who has more money."
"For example, if the Taoist sect sends out 3,000 Taoist soldiers, my Buddhist sect will have 180,000 Arhats. A single spit from each of them would drown them all. Why would I be afraid of the Taoist sect?"
"The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, in the final analysis, is still a competition of donations and kindness from kind men and women."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
This bald guy has a clear mind.
It would be a shame not to do business.
A business genius, he chose to become a monk.
If there is anyone who is destined to make Buddhism flourish, it is most likely him.
Then, Shi Xinyong put his palms together and said seriously:
"In the early years, the Sufan Temple was poor and could barely make ends meet, so they could only allow this great-grandmaster to travel around the Great Zhou."
"Now that I've taken over, I have a small fortune. How can I let my uncle-master wander around?"
"We must invite this great-grandmaster back, brother, don't you think?"
"The abbot's filial piety is commendable!" Qin Yuan exclaimed.
Shi Xinyong said modestly: "Amitabha."
"This is what the younger generation like me should do."
Qin Yuan asked again, "Abbot, how is the Changping Warehouse going?"
"well--"
Shi Xinyong said in a long voice: "With the support of kind men and women, the general framework has been created, but there are still many problems. I am just looking forward to having a good chat with you..."
