"We're finally here!"
After a four-hour train ride in Jiangbei and a two-hour long journey, they finally arrived at their destination.
It had to be said that this temple was very popular. In the long-distance bus station, there was a direct line that cost ten yuan per person.
He thought that there wouldn't be too many people when he rushed over at dawn. Who knew that when he got into the car, he realized that it was simply bursting. According to the tourists on the bus, it was still the off-season recently. If it was the peak season, there would be people on the mountain and down the mountain.
Some people even said that this place was going to be transformed into a tourist route.
Those who could take the long-distance bus were not poor, but they were definitely not very rich. The rich were all traveling by themselves. These people were mostly simple rural people. They all brought their specialties to worship Buddha.
Worshipping Buddha was a matter of rules. One had to bring something with them. The items did not have to be expensive, but they had to be practical.
This was what the Buddhists said, and only Jiang Bei knew about it. To truly worship Buddha, one only needed to put their palms together, have no distracting thoughts, and kneel down. It was enough. There was no need to bring anything. The so-called incense and incense money were not needed.
Monks make a living by begging. This was what a Buddhist should be like. The reason why modern people had to carry big and small bags was completely due to the changes in society over time.
Jiang Bei didn't care about that. This was a matter of the Western Sect and had nothing to do with him.
......
At the foot of the temple mountain, there was a farmhouse.
The farmhouse was supposed to be quite popular, but today, for some reason, there was not a single outsider. Moreover, the boss and some people inside were standing at the door, waiting for something.
The owner of the farmhouse was dressed in a suit. He looked at the employees and the door from time to time, looking very anxious.
Ten minutes later, a bus drove over. The boss immediately asked all the staff to stand properly. Then, he walked to the place where the bus was parked.
"Welcome, Tang Shu!"
As soon as the bus stopped, a middle-aged man got off under the protection of everyone. The owner of the farmhouse immediately nodded and bowed.
"Boss Wu, I've troubled you to be so busy!”
The middle-aged man who came down shook hands with the owner of the farmhouse and then spoke to express his condolences.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. The reason why Director came to inspect is to help us get out of poverty and suffering.”
It had to be said that the owner of this farmhouse was quite good at talking. He gave a few words and put on a few high hats.
As an official, who didn't like to be praised? Because of this, the secretary had a smile on his face the entire way.
Soon, everyone went to the farmhouse for an inspection.
After the leaders went in, the owner of the farmhouse said seriously to his subordinates standing in a row.
"This time, it's J, Tang's. You people, pay attention!!”
After saying that, he immediately jogged in and began to accompany Tang Shu.
"Tell me, why is the provincial number one doing an inspection here?”
After seeing the boss leave, the staff began to discuss in private. One of the younger girls frowned and asked curiously.
Hearing the big sister's words, everyone could not help but think highly of this big sister. Each and every one of them felt that she was right.
"Heh, you're not locals, so you don't know the situation here. Do you know why Secretary Tang is here?”
After the big sister changed the topic, the chef could not help but speak. When he spoke, his face was filled with pride, making people feel that the other party knew something.
As expected, as soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately asked.
"What is it?"
"What secret is there? Tell me!"
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me about it. When we start working later, we won't have time!”
Everyone asked anxiously. A dense divination aura spread out here.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. Secretary Tang was once the deputy head of the county party committee here. I remember that there was a story in this temple. It was about a person who had a low official career. He came here to make a wish. After making a wish, he went back. His official position soared all the way until he finally reached the central government. Do you know this story?”
"Yeah, what does this have to do with Secretary Tang? Could it be that Secretary Tang also wants to be promoted?"
"No, no, no. We won't talk about promotion. Today, they were talking about Secretary Tang, the person who had a bad career back then. Ever since he made his wish and returned to the Central Plains, Secretary Tang would come to the ancient Buddhist temple every year. The reason why there were so many farmhouses here was that the secretary had personally issued the documents. Otherwise, why would there be so many merchants investing in this barren land?”
The man revealed a condescending expression. He was secretly delighted and directly told the shocking news. After he said that, everyone immediately revealed looks of admiration and they were all very happy.
"Aren't you going to do something?"
While they were chatting, a person suddenly walked over and said a few words, causing them to immediately disperse. However, when they dispersed, they even started discussing in groups.
......
"I remember that when I first came here, there was no road here. I didn't expect that after so many years, this place would gradually become a tourist attraction.”
On the other hand, Secretary Tang, who had come to the farmhouse today, was surrounded by more than a dozen leaders of various sizes. He was facing a lake. It was unknown if he felt something in his heart or what, but he suddenly said such a thing.
"This is still the credit of Tang Ji. They made the phrase 'get rich and get rid of poverty' not just a slogan, but a true realization!”
As soon as Secretary Tang finished speaking, a small leader immediately began to flatter him.
When everyone heard this, they began to flatter him.
Secretary Tang was tired of listening to these bootlickers. He looked at the mountain in the distance for a long time.
There was a temple on the mountain. Smoke came from the temple, and occasionally, one could hear Sanskrit chanting.
"The temple fair of this ancient Buddhist temple hasn't arrived yet, right? Why is there such a loud noise today?”
Secretary Tang was confused.
He came here today to go to the Ancient Buddha Temple. However, the days he chose were all off-season, when there were not many people.
But now, there were actually people chanting scriptures in the temple, and the sound could even be heard from the mountain. One could imagine that there must be many monks chanting.
If it was during the temple fair, this kind of thing could still happen. However, it was the off-season now. Although there were many people offering incense, compared to the peak season, it was a world of difference.
For this, he was very puzzled.
.....
In the temple on the high mountain, the old abbot who had just bathed in incense suddenly woke up from his meditation and said,"
"The benefactor has arrived!"
