The story takes place in the middle of a parallel world ...
Autumn in the north, the sky is high, white clouds, birds fly south, the breeze blows the golden leaves floating, a beautiful autumn!
However, some people didn't think so.
In the southwest corner of Gu Lin Province, there was a mountain that was an extension of the Changbai Mountain Range, called the Tongtian Mountain Range, and the Tongtian Mountain Range had a unicorn mountain called One Finger Mountain. The mountain wasn't too high, but it was far enough away to look at the Heavenly Pond, but it was a pity that you couldn't see the water. There is a temple on the mountain named One Finger Temple! The temple only has two entries in the front and back, the front is the temple, the back is the meditation room, is also the place where the monks live ... Ahem, to be precise, is the place where the little sanyasi Fangzheng resides, because the whole temple is only one person left.
Just yesterday, the One Finger Zen Master of the One Finger Temple had passed away by crane, and the already dilapidated, almost incense-burning small temple now looked even more desolate.
There is a Bodhi tree in the courtyard of the temple, which was planted by a certain tycoon who made a grand wish back then and had it transported all the way from the southern country, the Bodhi tree was planted, but the tycoon hung up. The original expansion of the temple was also a failure, and there was no further progress.
Although the linden tree was planted, the cold climate in the north caused it to freeze to death that year. Nowadays, there is only a dry trunk left, and Fang Zheng has thought more than once that if he waits for a few more years, he will be able to chop it up and burn it for firewood....
At this moment, Fang Zheng stood under the Bodhi tree, holding an official document in his hand, with a sad look in his eyes, tilted his head up to look at the sky, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha Buddha, what a day, I just want to return to secularism ah! At this time, give me such a broken document for what? Do I have to be the headmaster of this shitty temple just because of this shitty document? This broken temple a no money, no one, not even a little incense, in addition to the wind and drink the wind, rain and drink the rain, the green wind and rain tube outside, really do not see any benefit ah!
Hey ... I just want to be a peaceful and steady as an ordinary person, get married and have children, and then into the ground, is it so difficult? In the beginning, there is an old monk, put me up is not easy, I put up with it. Now the old monk is gone, I still want to rot in this broken temple?
After saying that, Fang Zheng balled up that paperwork into a ball and threw it into the tree hole.
Then he returned to his room, picked up his luggage roll, and prepared to leave!
However, when he walked to the gate of the One Finger Temple, he stopped and looked back at the worn out sign of the One Finger Temple, and couldn't help but think of that old monk, Zen Master One Finger, who raised him from a young age. The reason why Zen Master One Finger was called Zen Master One Finger was because he only had one finger. What can one finger do? Most people were afraid that they couldn't do anything, but Zen Master One Finger was able to start his own field and grow vegetables, and then sent Fang Zheng to school and managed to finish high school by relying on the money from making fortunes and selling vegetables.
It was at this very doorway that Fang Zheng was sent down the mountain by Zen Master One Finger to pursue his studies.
It was also at this doorway that every time Fang Zheng came back, he would see Zen Master One Finger standing at the door waiting for him.
Only year after year, day after day, Fang Zheng is getting taller and taller, but the one-finger Zen master is getting shorter and shorter, the hunchback is getting worse and worse, rheumatism has also come to the door, but Fang Zheng has never seen the one-finger Zen master in pain, he is always smiling. In his words: watching Fang Zheng grow up healthily day by day, One Finger Temple has a successor, he is happy, he is satisfied.
Listening to these words, Fang Zheng's nose was sour every time and said in his heart: this monk is not like a master at all! Shouldn't a master be mouthing Zen words that are thought-provoking?
Unfortunately, high school tuition was too expensive, and Zen Master One Finger's health was gradually failing, and he could not afford to pay for Fang Zheng to continue his studies. So Fang Zheng returned to the mountain to accompany Zen Master One Finger. Unfortunately, Zen Master One Finger never allowed him to go down to the ground, only let him read Buddhist scriptures and learn the Dharma, cooking, carrying water and other things are all done by Zen Master One Finger.
After three years, Zen Master One Finger left.
Fang Zheng also high school dropout for three years, the same age is estimated to have been on the verge of senior year, and he is still stuck in this one-finger land. In this regard, Fang Zheng is full of resentment, more than once and the one-finger Zen master said to go down the mountain to find a job, live a normal life, do not want to suffer anymore.
However, every time he saw the one-finger Zen Master's agonizing expression, Fang Zheng couldn't bear to go any further.
Fang Zheng had always felt that he was Sun Monkey, and Zen Master One Finger was the spell that was put on his head so that he could never be free. But when the One Finger Zen Master really left, he suddenly realized that he was wrong! The One-Finger Zen Master was not the spell, but the closest person to him! It was his father, his mother, everything!
So he cried, kneeling in front of the one-finger Zen master's tomb cried for a day, and after returning to the mountain, he cried even more for seven days!
The first six days were really sad, and the day after was hungry ...
Fortunately, on the seventh day, the government staff came, sent rice and flour, and then left this paperwork, directly to Fangzheng from Shamai to abbot promotion! Although the temple is not under the government's control, and the promotion is not under the government's control, but such a piece of paper is also of some use, at least Fang Zheng from now on, the name of the right to become a person with a house and land.
However, Fang Zheng does not intend to continue to be a monk, he just want to return to secularism, marry and have children, live a life of peace and happiness! He didn't want to be poor anymore!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng turned back, looked at the Sending Goddess of Mercy in the middle of the Buddha Hall, and roared, "On what grounds? Why do we have to be poor while serving you? I won't serve you anymore! I'm done! Let's go!"
"Ding!" Just then, a crunching sound rang out in Fang Zheng's mind, Fang Zheng was startled and shouted; "Who?"
"Congratulations, host, for fulfilling the opening conditions of the Buddha System and successfully owning a monastery. From this moment on, you will enjoy the guardianship of the heavens and the support of the ten thousand worlds."
"What the hell?" Fang Zheng only thought that someone was playing a prank, looking around, no one was there!
Turned over the body, only a cell phone, or years ago Nokia, receiving calls is okay, smashing walnuts is also okay, music is so two, if there is a network, can barely open some small applications, but it is very stuck, very stuck ... The mountain used to have a network line that the government gave to the holders, and then it broke down after years of disrepair. No network, such a thing obviously can not say such a high level of words!
The rest of it, not connected to modernization, was even less likely to make a sound.
"Ding! In reply to the host, I am the Buddha System, and you are the one chosen by the Buddha."
"System? Buddha System?" Fang Zheng suddenly realized something and called out, "Golden Finger?"
"It can be understood like this."
"Then what can you bring me?" Fang Zheng asked, then laughed bitterly, "Come on, don't say it, I'm a person who's going to go down the mountain and return to secularism, what's the point of being a Buddha ah ..."
"Glory, wealth, and women!"
"I think I'd better think about it, I actually still have wisdom roots, at least that's what Papa One Finger said." Fang Zheng immediately changed his words.
"None of them are offered!" The system said slowly.
"I QNMLGB's, are you playing with me? No more fun, down the mountain!" Fang Zheng picked up his luggage and was about to leave.
The system's voice sounded again, "But I can assist you to become a host and master that is admired by tens of thousands of people in this world, and turn the One Finger Temple into the largest temple in the world!"
