“The mage’s actions are really surprising and make people unprepared!”
In the straight hall of the prefecture, Li Tai looked at Master Tan Jing sitting opposite him and sighed helplessly.
At this time, there were still many emotions and discussions from the onlookers who had refused to disperse for a long time. The scene created by Master Tan Jing was full of effect.
After hearing Li Tai’s words, Master Tan Jing smiled kindly and said, “Why should I visit me? The former is not right to visit the temple? I have made this wish for you now. The reason why I told the masses about the Zhou Dynasty was to praise the truth of cause and effect. If the messenger acted evilly, I am afraid that the masses would know everything, but now I am giving virtue and education to my own words and deeds. Why should I be afraid of the masses’ discussions?”
Li Tai also had to admit that this old monk was really rude and was almost caught up with him. He obviously ran out of money and had no way to regret it, so he could only proceed according to his pace, but he still had to thank him for helping him promote righteous deeds and educate the masses.
Of course, Li Tai really has to thank him. He has never seen such an active person who dug a hole for himself, so even if he buried him, Li Tai would not feel any sense of accomplishment.
“Since that’s the case, I will no longer be swayed. I will entrust all the things to make Buddhist rituals to the master. I hope that the master can do his best and not let him down. If things are as I wish in the coming year, I will thank the master more!”
This pit and being pitted are also a two-way process. People have already taken ninety-nine steps. Of course, Li Tai has to take a step forward, so he said with a look of unwillingness but helplessness.
Master Tanjing did not have any arrogance because of his success in the palace, but expressed his serious expression: “I am justified. Once this Buddhist ritual is created, the masses will be attracted by it. It is not only about whether the envoy is filial and righteous, but the old monk will also be responsible for the people’s judgment in the matter, and he will definitely not be negligent!”
Li Tai believed this, so he said: “Although I am short of money, I am also in a shallow position. If there is anything I can do in the matter, please tell me.”
Hearing Li Tai bluntly say that public power can be granted privately, Master Tanjing couldn’t help but smile. Isn’t his purpose of this? With a layer of filial piety to whitewash the behavior, the young county magistrate became bolder and took the initiative to bring it up before he could ask.
Master Tanjing naturally would not be polite. He stood up and invited Li Tai to the outside of the hall, standing next to the newly-casted Master Mulian Dharma Figure and sighed: “I have to rely on it. Although the old monk is full of energy, the manpower in the temple is still insufficient. Please look at this statue. Although it is full of materials, it lacks skills, so the imaging is also poor. If you want to cast it into a top-quality image, you still need to search for craftsmen elsewhere!”
Li Tai also saw that the Buddha statue was not proportional and rough on the surface, which was completely different from the one made by the Hongfa Temple in the past year.After hearing this, he nodded and said, “The master is the county capital of Vinaya, and he has transferred the temple slavery to be in charge. Where can the craftsmen be able to use it? There is no need to sue me.” “Although this is the case, the facts are still slightly inconvenient. The best figure in the county is the slave of the Wanfo Hall Temple…”
Master Tanjing said while observing Li Tai’s expression.
After hearing this, Li Tai was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He returned to the hall with a thoughtful look on his face, and then looked at the old monk and said, “Before the Hanoi official traveled, I told me that I must negotiate with the people and not easily offend the public. The Wanfo Hall has been in existence for a long time and is widely worshipped by the people in the county. I am afraid it is not easy to offend the enemy rashly, right?”
“If it is a different person, it is inevitable that this will be a worry, but the young man is young. As the saying goes, it is better to bully the old man and not bully the young man, so why not be afraid of evil feelings! What’s more, the envoy said that this is a matter within the position of the old monk, but the government does not interfere. The old monk can guarantee that the public opinion in the village will not help the crazy monks in the Wanfo Hall!”
Seeing that Li Tai was still hesitant, the old monk paid more attention and threw out a sketch to shoot it on the desk. In addition to the previous various Buddhist ritual procedures, he would also invest in the temple to build a Xiongwei Buddhist temple to worship the Buddha statues cast by this Buddhist ritual, and enjoy the incense of believers all year round, and what he wants will definitely be more effective.
Li Tai’s expression gradually loosened after hearing this, and he reminded him: “The master can requisition it as you want, but he must return it in time after using it.”
The old monk nodded repeatedly after hearing this. As long as the raw rice is cooked and the people are dispatched, whether it needs to be returned afterwards, then no one else has to give him any advice.
Seeing that Li Tai was so easy to talk, he added another move and said, “If all the ritual instruments are so beautiful, then all the craftsmen in Wudu Temple are indispensable.”
Hearing that the old monk was so arrogant that he even dared to make a decision on the royal property, Li Tai was also secretly happy. If he didn’t keep all the black accounts on you, he would be sorry for helping me dig a hole so hard, so he nodded and agreed, just to make the old monk do impeccable in the procedures.
Both of them did their best to accommodate each other. This cooperation is naturally harmonious and happy. While helping each other, they also feel that they have gained a lot. This is probably the so-called win-win situation. Of course, it is necessary for the normal development of the plot.
