Yufeng Temple occupies almost the entire top of the mountain, including a lobby dedicated to the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, a tourist area for tourists, meditation rooms, kitchens, warehouses, bathhouses, toilets, and so on.

The tourist area is the most ornamental area. It is full of peonies, all kinds of them. It is not time for them to bloom yet, so you can only see the peony seedlings.

In addition to peonies, there are many lychees and longans planted on the back hill, and many jacaranda trees planted on the front hill.

The flowers of the Jacaranda tree are blue. When it blooms, the whole tree is covered with blue cherry blossoms. It can be seen from a distance and is extremely beautiful.

There is a large vegetable field next to the temple, where many seasonal vegetables are grown. There is no monk living in the temple yet, so the vegetables are growing very well, but they have not been picked yet.

Chrysanthemums and plum blossoms are planted in some corners, so that flowers can be seen blooming all year round, embellishing the temple, which is absolutely beautiful.

Shen Xue Ning brought the three masters to the Yufeng Temple and introduced them: "Three masters, this is the Yufeng Temple I mentioned."

The leading monk asked, "You mentioned before that there were two ascetics. Where are they?"

In their circle, ascetic monks are admired. After all, not everyone can endure going hungry and sleeping in the open air.

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "The two masters are at the foot of the mountain and will go up the mountain tomorrow. After visiting the Yufeng Temple, I will take the three masters down to meet them."

The monk nodded: "Okay."

Then Shen Xue Ning took the three masters on a tour of the Yufeng Temple, determined the location for the chanting and consecration, and then went down the mountain and sent them to their residence.

There is still some time before dinner, so take a rest first.

After leaving the three masters' residences, Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou went to the residences of the two ascetic monks.

Shen Xue Ning said politely: "Master, the three masters from Lama Temple have arrived. Let's have dinner together and get to know each other."

The monk said, "I understand."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I will come to pick up the two masters for dinner later."

The monk bowed and said, "Thank you for your help."

Coming out of the two masters' residence, Shen Wenxu immediately came forward and said, "Sister, are you inviting those monks to dinner tonight?"

Shen Xuening nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Shen Wenxu asked expectantly: "Can I go with you?"

Shen Xue Ning asked curiously: "Why do you want to follow?"

Shen Wenxu said: "Learn more and see how monks eat. You said they are great monks. I want to know how they are different from us?"

Shen Xue Ning laughed: "Okay, I'll satisfy your curiosity, but try to talk less, okay?"

Shen Wenxu made an OK gesture: "No problem, I will definitely not cause trouble."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I believe you."

……

Canteen private room.

Shen Xue Ning invited the two ascetic monks and the three masters invited from Lama Temple to take their seats. Shen Wenxu sat next to the little monk, experiencing the current situation curiously.

The ascetic monk was older and seemed to be of a higher generation, so Shen Xue Ning introduced the two of them first: "Let me introduce the three masters. They are the ascetic monk masters I told you about, with the Buddhist names Master Tongyun and Master Huizhen. "

"Amitabha." Master Tongyun and Master Huizhen bowed to the three people together.

The three of them immediately stood up and returned the greeting: "Greetings to Master Tongyun and Young Master Huizhen."

Shen Xue Ning continued to introduce: "The three masters of Yonghe Palace, Master Mingjing, Master Wuchen, and Master Xuannan." The leader is Master Mingjing.

Master Mingjing's eyes were filled with admiration: "I didn't expect to meet Master Tongyun here. It's such a blessing."

Master Tongyun had a calm expression and spoke in a leisurely tone: "Everything in the world is predestined. Our meeting here today is also a kind of fate."

Master Mingjing nodded slightly: "Master Tongyun is right, everything is a matter of fate."

They were all highly accomplished monks, and as they talked, Shen Xuening, Qin Zizhou, and Shen Wenxu gradually couldn't understand what they were saying. It was as if they were listening to something incomprehensible, but it was very comfortable to listen to, a quite strange feeling.

After the vegetarian meal, the three of them were deeply baptized by Buddhism, and the monks seemed to have benefited a lot from each other. It was obvious that everyone was very satisfied with each other.

After finishing their meal, the five monks left together. They must have been still unsatisfied with what they had just talked about, so they decided to continue chatting later.

Shen Xuening, Qin Zizhou, and Shen Wenxu stood at the cafeteria gate and watched them leave, looking confused.

Suddenly, Qin Zizhou spoke up: "They say learning never ends, but today I have encountered a shortcoming."

Shen Xue Ning couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, Buddhism is profound. It is really difficult for ordinary people like us to understand. It's normal."

Shen Wenxu looked at the two of them from the side and said, "You didn't understand either?"

Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou looked at each other and said, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Shen Wenxu: “…”

……

Sanle County, Tanjia.

As a wealthy man in Sanle County, Tan Zhang spends his days reading financial news and watching Shen Xuening's videos, which is almost the same every day.

After watching the news today, he took out his phone to watch the video.

After watching it, he exclaimed, "The Yufeng Temple will be open tomorrow. Boss Shen has invited a high monk from the Lama Temple and two ascetic masters to perform the opening ceremony. I have lived for most of my life, but it seems that I have never seen an opening ceremony. Why not go and join in the fun?"

After muttering this, he called his son Tan Wenfeng over and said, "Wenfeng, Boss Shen is going to hold a temple opening ceremony tomorrow, and they will give away twelve lots for free. Please take me to watch the ceremony. If I'm lucky, I can even draw a lot for good luck."

Tan Wenfeng came over curiously and asked, "What temple opening ceremony?"

Tan Zhang showed the video to Tan Wenfeng.

People who do business are more or less superstitious, and some even worship the God of Wealth at home. Tan Zhang and Tan Wenfeng have a similar mentality.

After watching the video, Tan Wenfeng agreed without hesitation: "Dad, I want to go to the ceremony too, let's go together."

Tan Zhang was surprised. His son was a workaholic, but it was rare for him to ask for a break. "Okay, you didn't have a good rest during the Chinese New Year. This time you can go over and take a break for half a day."

Tan Wenfeng nodded: "Okay."

The father and son told the rest of the family, namely Tan Zhang's wife, Tan Wenfeng's wife, and Tan Wenfeng's child Tan Zongrui, and everyone expressed their desire to attend the ceremony.

After some discussion, the final result was that the whole family went.

Such scenes are played out in many places. It seems to be human nature to watch the excitement, not to mention that temple opening ceremonies are rare.

In addition to promoting the scenic spot online, Shen Xuening also promoted the scenic spot and surrounding villages.

From now on, the temple's incense will depend on everyone.

……

Yongle.

Today Shen Wenxu finished his performance early.

Shen Bo was puzzled: "Wenxu, school is about to start. Why didn't you take this opportunity to earn more money? Why did you end it early?"

Shen Wenxu said, "I'm going to go back and pack up. I'm going to the Yufeng Temple to watch the ceremony tomorrow. I'll also prepare four dollars and raise funds then."

Shen Bo said that he was ignorant: "Huh? Still need to raise funds?"

Shen Wenxu said as a matter of course: "Of course we need to raise funds. The monks on the mountain rely on donations to live, and the daily maintenance of the temple also relies on donations."

Shen Bo felt that he had misunderstood something: "Your elder sister doesn't pay them?"

Shen Wenxu shook his head: "I don't know."

Shen Bo blinked: "We should send it out. How much can we donate? I'm afraid we can't even afford food."

Shen Wenxu thought about it, but couldn't figure it out: "Whether my sister pays them or not, I will donate ten dollars."

Shen Bo said: "Then I will also donate ten yuan to contribute to the opening of the temple."

Shen Wenxu raised his chin: "Let's go home and prepare."

The two of them hurried back to their home.

"Wenxu, it's not even eight o'clock yet. Why are you back? Did something happen?" Seeing that Shen Wenxu was a little abnormal, Liu Juan immediately asked with concern.

"No, I have something to do." Shen Wenxu waved his hand and ran back to his room.

Liu Juan stood there with a puzzled look on her face. What wanted to happen to this guy?

After some inquiries, she found out that Shen Wenxu came back early because of the temple opening ceremony tomorrow. Then she thought, should she also go to participate tomorrow?

The temple opening ceremony is grand and solemn, welcoming the Bodhisattva from heaven to come down to earth, to sit on the mortal world and bless the area with peace. As a native of this area, I should participate in it. Otherwise, what if the Bodhisattva finds out and blames me?

Rural people are more or less superstitious, and Liu Juan is no exception.

Thinking of this, Liu Juan returned to her room, found a suitable set of clothes, prepared a hundred yuan, and some spare change, to buy incense paper and candles to burn when the time comes.

After she prepared herself, she also prepared things for Shen Dong, and they would go together when the time came.

There are many people who think like her, and they are making preparations at home to watch the ceremony tomorrow.

……

Yufeng Temple.

Early in the morning, Buddhist music was heard in Yufeng Temple.

Yufeng Temple is located at the top of Yufeng Mountain. It is so high up that the Buddhist music can be heard from far away.

The temple opening ceremony starts at nine o'clock, and it's only seven o'clock now. Everyone is not in a hurry. Some are listening to Buddhist music, some are eating, and some are doing laundry. Today is Sunday, so there is no work.

The Buddhist music was played by Shen Xue Ning. At this moment, she was standing in front of the fence outside the Yufeng Temple, looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, with colorful lights reflected in her eyes.

There is a large courtyard outside the Yufeng Temple. A fence has been built around the courtyard, which can provide people with some small businesses. There are several pavilions built on the side, where tourists can also stop here to play and rest.

At this time, there was no one here except Shen Xue Ning.

After a while, a few parrots flew over, a few minutes later, three cats ran over, and a few minutes later, a few sheepdogs ran up.

Shen Xuening was just about to play with them when suddenly several sheepdogs ran towards the back of the temple, barking wildly as they ran.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xue Ning hurriedly caught up.
