After dinner, all the Taoist priests came to the front hall to meditate. Zhang Feng went to the old Taoist priest and said shamelessly, "Taoist priest, I have one more thing to ask. I don't know whether the Taoist priest can meet my little wish." the Taoist priest looked at Zhang Feng and didn't know what else he had to do. Zhang Feng took out a box and said, "there are some things to wear here. Please ask the Taoist priest to give me a light. I'm always restless recently. I want to have peace of mind."

When the Taoist priest heard this request, he didn't refuse, and happily agreed. At this time, Zhang Feng saw that the Sanqing temple was more dilapidated than nine years ago. He remembered that the Taoist priest told him that he came to the Sanqing temple when he was young. When he was young, he took it as his duty to repair the Sanqing temple. Later, when he was getting older, he went to sell incense.

Haven't the Sanqing Temple been funded and repaired over the years. Zhang Feng saw the Taoist priest holding his things on the altar in the front main hall. At this time, there are not many pilgrims. Everyone starts in the morning and usually goes down the mountain before noon. A few people will stay for a vegetarian meal.

At this time, a weak voice came from behind: "big shopkeeper, I'm coming." Zhang Feng looked at Su Ming panting and out of breath, but he could climb up. Zhang Feng admired him very much. "Hard work, come and have a rest." Su Ming was sweating, his clothes were all wet, and his round face was red.

"Do you have food here? I'm too tired and hungry. I don't think I can go down the mountain without replenishing energy." Su Ming eased for a while and talked a little. The first thing is to find food. There's no delicious food in the deep mountain old temple. It's nothing more than the things Zhang Feng ate at noon.

Zhang Feng couldn't bear to see Su Ming. "Let's go and take you to dinner." Su Ming heard that Zhang Feng knew where to eat. He got up from the ground and followed Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng took Su Ming to the vegetarian hall. A little master was peeling potatoes. Zhang Feng came forward and asked, "little master, my friend hasn't eaten yet. Is there any vegetarian meal at noon? Can I give him one?"

Little master looked up at Zhang Feng and replied seriously, "it's past the meal time. We can't provide food here. Please go down the mountain to eat." Zhang Feng didn't expect this rule, but Su Ming couldn't go down the mountain without eating. "Look, little master, he just came up and missed the meal. He's hungry now." Zhang Feng pointed to Su Ming.

Su Ming also made a hungry move with special cooperation. Zhang Feng then said: "If we wait until the afternoon to have dinner, we will be late to go down the mountain. Then we will have to eat more of you for nothing. How much food do you have to waste, both of us? You can give him food now and he can have the strength to go after eating. Besides, saving a person's life is better than building a level 7 floating slaughter. I'll praise you in front of the elder later."

Little Shifu thought about Zhang Feng's words carefully and thought that what he said was quite reasonable. Moreover, at noon, he did see Zhang Feng, the elder and the younger martial brother sitting together to eat. After thinking about it, little Shifu nodded and said, "well, I'll get it for you. Don't run around while you sit." then little Shifu ran to the back to get something for Su Ming.

Seeing Zhang Feng's deceptive skill, Su Ming couldn't help but stretch out a thumb: "praise you, otherwise the headline in the Huashi newspaper tomorrow will be that the living people are trapped in Sanqing mountain. The reason is that they don't have food and have no strength to go down the mountain." Su Ming was in a good mood and became poor. After a while, the little master came over with a tray.

Su Ming looked at it, good guy. Clear water cabbage, steamed potatoes, pumpkin porridge with pickles. Su Ming looked at what he ate and Zhang Feng looked at it. Zhang Feng nodded. That's what he ate at noon. Seeing Su Ming's expression, he whispered: "Eat quickly. It's better for you to come than nothing. You don't really want to go down the mountain hungry. I can't carry you. If you can't walk, you can sleep on the mountain."

Su Ming looked like he wanted to cry without tears. Looking at the meager food, his stomach had not responded. Now when he saw the food, it made a loud noise. Su Ming complained to Zhang Feng while eating: "I really owe you in my last life. I've come to pay off my debts in this life. When I go down the mountain in the afternoon, I must have a meal. I can't recover in ten and a half days."

Su Ming nagged while eating. Zhang Feng's head hurt when he nagged. "Eat quickly. You can't stop your mouth from eating. You're like an old woman. Who owes who in your previous life is uncertain. It's my fault to bring you here to purify your mind. You really should listen to the Taoist priest's teaching later and influence you."

Zhang Feng took Su Ming to finish a vegetarian meal. After Su Ming finished eating, he gradually felt that his strength had recovered. They thanked the little master and came to the front yard. While looking at the ancient Taoist temple, Su Ming praised: "how many years have it been? Look at the tree and the floor tiles. Tut Tut, the air on the mountain is really good."

"For more than 300 years, Sanqing temple has enshrined the Taoist priest of Sanqing. You should pay attention to what you say." Zhang Feng reminded Su Ming not to speak out. At this time, the Taoist priest came to him with Zhang Feng's things and handed them to him: "benefactor, I have done a Dharma and return them to you." Zhang Feng quickly saluted: "thank you, thank you."

After the Taoist priest gave the things to Zhang Feng, he saw Su Ming and thought he was interesting. He couldn't stop looking at him. Su Ming was shocked when the Taoist priest saw it. What's the situation? Zhang Feng quickly said, "Taoist priest, this is my friend. He came with me. His foot journey is slower and he came late."

The Taoist priest grabbed Su Ming's arm and rubbed his clothes up and down, saying, "I think the benefactor has good bones and is very wise. Are you interested in staying in our Taoist temple to practice?" Su Ming was so frightened that he hurried to stand behind Zhang Feng and said shakily, "Taoist priest, this joke can't be made. I just accompany him to make soy sauce. I'm an atheist."

The Taoist priest stroked his goatee and laughed: "I'm never kidding. You're a good seedling. Why haven't you been to Sanqing temple before? Look at our beautiful scenery and excellent air. It's an ideal place for Taoist cultivation." Su Ming was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word for fear that the Taoist priest would force him to stay, He doesn't want to be here with cabbage and potatoes every day. Besides, how can he have Huigen? What's this ghost Huigen? Whoever wants it, take it away quickly.

Su Ming's legs and stomach were going to cramp. He hurriedly said, "Taoist priest, I haven't broken the world of mortals, and six of them are not clean. Please let me go. I'll donate some sesame oil money before I leave. Thank you for your love." Zhang Feng also felt strange. Taoist priest how he took a fancy to Su Ming, but he knew it wouldn't matter if Su Ming didn't agree, but when he saw Su Ming's fear, Zhang Feng doesn't want to help him either.

The Taoist priest said to Su Ming, "it doesn't matter. The future is long. The gate of Sanqing temple will always be open for you." then he asked the little apprentice to come over and say, "go knock the chime for evening class." the little master took the master's order and quickly carried it out. At this time, Zhang Feng asked: "Taoist priest, I remember when you said that you were responsible for repairing Sanqing temple when you were young, so who is responsible now?"

Speaking of this, the old Taoist looked lonely on his face, sighed and said: "now the younger generation will help, but Sanqing temple is short of funds. We don't go out and rarely receive bills. We have always been self-sufficient. In recent years, we often can't make ends meet. Now I'm most worried about these small people."

"After I left, I don't know if they can hold Sanqing temple." the Taoist priest seemed full of reluctance and helplessness. Zhang Feng and Taoist priest went to an ancient ginkgo tree in the temple and sat down on the stone bench below. The Taoist priest said to Zhang Feng: "Now there are too many Taoist temples and temples in the country. Many temples rely on incense money and opening up to maintain the operation of the whole temple."

"However, since the generation of our master, we have not made such a living in Sanqing temple, and we do not accept secular disciples. Gradually, no one came to us to hang up the bill. Our Sanqing temple can only be maintained by the incense money automatically donated by tourists. Sometimes it is not enough to buy sesame oil for the three Taoist priests." It's really cool. There are few Taoist temples like this now.

Zhang Feng thought it was strange that the life in the Taoist temple was so poor. It was no wonder that the Sanqing temple and nine years ago were almost unchanged and still so dilapidated. He saw that many temples outside were built very well. Hearing the Taoist priest say here, Zhang Feng could no longer help: "Taoist priest, I hope I can help you. I have this ability now, and I hope you can fulfill my wish."

"I had this idea when I first came here today. When I was poor, Taoist priest you gave me incense. I was kind to me. Today, Sanqing temple is in trouble. I am willing to help you through it and repay your kindness to me. I want to donate money to rebuild Sanqing temple." Zhang Feng said it sincerely, but Taoist priest didn't say yes for a long time.

"I'm sorry that Sanqing temple can't accept such a great favor for no reason. Please go back." the Taoist priest thought for a moment and refused Zhang Feng, which surprised Zhang Feng and Su Ming. Aren't they happy to accept the donations of pilgrims? I didn't expect that the old Taoist made such a decision, but it didn't make Zhang Feng give up.

Zhang Feng said to the Taoist priest, "if the Taoist priest doesn't promise me today, I'll come back tomorrow." Su Ming heard this. What? I'll come tomorrow? The old Taoist priest is too pedantic. If he doesn't promise tomorrow, according to Zhang Feng's temper, he won't be able to climb the Heming mountain every day in the future. It will really kill him. He's innocent.

Su Ming quickly helps: "I said long, you see how many temples there are in Huashi now. The Buddha statues enshrined in other people's temples are all gold body protectors. The incense keeps flowing, and the whole person looks fresh and fresh. Look at us again. Yes, your old man has clean arms and upright, and despises these formal doctrines, but we can't make the environment of Sanqing's ancestors too poor, can't we?"

"Look at the Heming mountain. Many people go back halfway. That's because they don't have enough strength. They don't want to come up, but they have to climb a section of the road. They sincerely came to add fragrance to the ancestors. They can't get anything. It's impolite to come up empty handed. At that time, they will make the ancestors of Sanqing unhappy. It's better not to come at all." Su Ming analyzed things one by one to the Taoist priest from the perspective of an outsider.

The Taoist priest is not an old-fashioned person. Hearing Su Ming say so, the Taoist priest asked curiously, "is this really the case?" I think it's because the Taoist priest doesn't go down the mountain all year round, and they don't go down the mountain by the way of tourists. When they need to go down the mountain, the martial brothers in the Taoist temple all go along the back path. They walk with wind at the bottom of their feet, and they simply don't realize the hardships of ordinary people climbing the mountain.

"Isn't that right? You see, I represent the general public. They can't all be Zhang Feng's physique. You say they have many difficulties when they come up. How can you bring things to honor the ancestors of Sanqing? Originally, our incense is very good. I think it will be more prosperous after repair. After all, our reputation is here." Su Ming said that the head is a crossing like a hanging river.
