Chapter 256: Sort out the Earth's Qi and Plan the Temple
Especially in Wuning County, the Shen family is not the most respected family in the world, but it is also a family that is truly respected for its good deeds.
Gong Mengbi also stopped at the right time and did not force it.
Although he had sent a dream to Shenshan, asking the Chamber of Commerce to assist in disaster relief, no matter how big the Chamber of Commerce was, it could not support the people of an entire county.
I can only say that I have done my best and hope to have a clear conscience.
If Lei Boyang's treasury silver is used as a backup, there will be a lot that can be done.
For a cultivator like Lei Boyang, engaging in intrigues with businessmen would only yield half the results with twice the effort. It would be better to entrust the treasury to someone trustworthy and focus on subduing demons.
Tangxi River flooded, and water monsters took the opportunity to eat people. Whether you ask the river god for help or deal with the monster yourself, you will achieve success.
Every profession has its own specializations, and everyone has their own strengths. This is especially true for cultivators, who can do many things that ordinary people cannot, but only cultivators can.
Lei Boyang was not stupid and understood this principle, so after two days, he came to Lanyin Mountain again.
When he arrived at Lanyin Temple, he naturally performed Buddhist rituals and worshipped the Golden Sum Tathagata.
Lei Boyang said, "Lanyin Temple was once a large temple, but for some unknown reason it gradually declined and fell into disrepair, becoming infested with ghosts. It was only thanks to Brother Mingfu's great magical powers that he swept away the evil and restored the temple to its pristine state."
Lei Boyang didn't know the past of Lanyin Temple, and Gong Mengbi didn't want to explain it clearly, so he just responded vaguely and changed the subject, "Brother Lei, you came here today, I think you have made up your mind."
Lei Boyang said, "I'm ashamed. I've inquired about the Shenji Chamber of Commerce and the Shen family. No wonder they're praised by Brother Mingfu. They're truly a family of good deeds and virtuous people. Even if I run myself to pieces, I can't do better than the Shenji Chamber of Commerce. I also ask Brother Mingfu to introduce me to someone so that I can provide disaster relief as soon as possible."
Gong Mengbi didn't hold him back. Disaster relief couldn't be delayed. He took out a letter of introduction he had already written and handed it to Lei Boyang, saying, "When Jiayu told me about the disaster in Tangxi that day, I asked the Shen family to help with the relief. Shen Shan is now in Tangxi County. Go find him and give him the letter. He will treat you as one of his own."
Lei Boyang was extremely grateful, took the letter and left in a hurry.
Lei Boyang was busy with the affairs of Tangxi County, and Gong Mengbi had not been idle recently. He invited Fatty Kang to measure the geomagnetic energy of Lanyin Mountain in order to renovate it.
This is Fatty Kang’s specialty.
Fatty Kang took a walk around Lanyin Mountain and immediately felt itchy. "What a great place! Is it all yours now?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I borrowed it, but I'm not in a hurry to return it right now."
Fatty Kang immediately chuckled and said, "It's borrowed. I understand, I understand."
"I run a restaurant in the county town, and the fruit trees planted in Longpan Mountain can only be entrusted to my fellow tribesmen to take care of. I haven't farmed for a long time. Since this mountain belongs to you now, give me a piece of it to plant some fruit trees."
Gong Mengbi certainly had no objection. If they were grown in Lanyin Temple, he would be the one to eat them in the end, so there was no reason for him to refuse.
Fatty Kang took advantage of the night and went to the county to bring back a few of his fellow tribesmen.
When he was wandering in Jinhua in his early years, he had conquered some of his fellow tribesmen, and there were temples dedicated to the wild boar god in several townships in Jinhua.
Fatty Kang was like a pigherd, driving seven or eight wild boars from underground, then releasing them onto Lanyin Mountain and directing them to regulate the earth's energy.
This was not a difficult job for the wild boars. Lanyin Mountain had been unattended for a long time, and there was nothing else to compete with them for food. They could just dig for food and it would fill their stomachs.
They were not picky and went into the woods humming. Soon, the sound of them digging in the ground could be heard. They were eating as they dug, and they looked very happy.
Fatty Kang was drawing a picture for Gong Mengbi, depicting the geomantic veins of Lanyin Mountain on paper as a reference for Gong Mengbi to rebuild Lanyin Temple.
Lanyin Temple was originally a place for spiritual practice, and apart from renovation, most of it does not require any changes.
There was only one problem - to build a new Temple of the Goddess of Mount Tai.
Taishan Goddess and Jinsulu Tathagata didn't work together, so they certainly couldn't live in the same hall. Furthermore, Gong Mengbi was borrowing Lanyin Temple, so it would be unkind of him to demolish or occupy someone else's temple.
Therefore, it had to be newly built. It was not difficult to build a new temple for the goddess, but the location and specifications were more particular. It could not be too close to the Buddha Hall of Jinsulue Tathagata, nor too far away from the temple.
Fatty Kang pointed to several earth energy veins near the temple and said, "When Lanyin Temple was first built, they must have considered the issue of earth energy abundance. However, over the years, the earth veins have shifted, and the earth energy has shifted. Several of the veins are no longer within the temple. I can sort them out a little and guide these earth energy veins here, so that we can build the Niangniang Temple."
Gong Mengbi praised, "Fortunately, my brother is here. This place is to the east, separated from the temple by only a wall. As long as we break through the wall and expand it a little, we can connect the Niangniang Temple and Lanyin Temple into one."
Fatty Kang nodded and said, "If you think it's feasible, I'll sort out the earth's energy first. It's almost dawn, and I have to hurry back."
Gong Mengbi asked Fatty Kang to take action.
When Fatty Kang burrowed into the ground, he saw yellow smoke rising and yellow gas billowing.
Not long after, he came out sweating profusely, wiped his face, and said, "It's done."
Gong Mengbi stood still and gradually felt the earth energy moving underground, gathering here and then dispersing again. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Fatty Kang waved his hand and said, "My old job. Okay, I'm going back first."
Gong Mengbi sent him down the mountain and saw him escape into the earth. As the sky gradually brightened, Anyi Restaurant was about to open.
To make good plans, you must ask God.
First, he asked whether the Queen Mother of Mount Tai was willing to settle here, and second, he asked Jinsulu Tathagata whether he minded Gong Mengbi renovating the temple.
He returned to the monastery, burned incense to the Goddess of Mount Tai, reported the good deeds he had done recently, and informed the Goddess of Mount Tai about the construction of the Fox Temple in Lanyin Mountain, Jinhua County.
Praying silently before the God, the spirit of the Goddess of Mount Tai remained the same as before, without any changes.
This means he agrees. Gong Mengbi smiled and thanked Queen Taishan.
He then went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense to the Golden Millet Tathagata, explaining his reason and purpose. Firstly, the Flower-scattering Goddess agreed to lend it to him, and secondly, Lanyin Temple had been abandoned for a long time.
If he agrees, the fox will be responsible for managing Lanyin Temple in the future, and will continue to burn incense and offer sacrifices to Jinsulu Tathagata.
After standing in front of the golden statue of Tathagata for a while, the incense was still burning steadily, and Gong Mengbi did not sense any rejection from the Golden Sulu Tathagata, so the matter was considered accomplished.
Gong Mengbi called Zhu Zhengxin, Xiaoqian and Wenxiu, and Chen Jiayu also came to listen to the lecture out of boredom.
Gong Mengbi explained the establishment of Fox Court. Zhu Zhengxin asked, "We'll need to recruit a lot of skilled craftsmen, right? Lanyin Temple has a bad reputation, so I'm afraid no one would be willing to do this business."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "We don't need skilled craftsmen, we have people."
Zhu Zhengxin looked at the delicate Xiaoqian, then at the thin Chen Jiayu, then at Gong Mengbi, and finally at his own strong hands.
This job won’t fall on me, right?
Zhu Zhengxin felt uneasy.
