Chapter 372 Going Down the Mountain
Zhu Yiyang's expression at this moment is really like that of a pig, as if he has not figured out what happened just now.

Li Yi picked up the gourd and said, "Have you seen what happened just now?"

The four guys nodded immediately.

"You can't tell anyone about this when you go back, or you will be punished by God if you reveal the secret of heaven." Li Yi said again.

The four guys hesitated for a moment, then nodded again.

"You also heard that the reason why the shadow came to you was because you were not sincere in worshiping Buddha." Li Yi said again.

"Yes, yes, we will worship Buddha sincerely in the future." Zhu Yiyang said hastily.

"In fact, it's not just about being sincere when you burn incense and kowtow, the most important thing is to follow the teachings of the Buddha, do more good deeds, and be a good person." Li Yi said again, "For example, the things you are doing now, to put it bluntly, are deceiving people. Well, this is against the teachings of Buddhism. After returning home, I honestly returned the money to others, otherwise it will be very bad luck sooner or later."

"Uh..." Zhu Yiyang had a bitter expression on his face. How could he have the money to give back the money after this work has been done so far?

"Can you withdraw, as much as you can? If you really have no choice, just turn yourself in. Anyway, if this matter is not resolved, it will be bad luck sooner or later." Li Yi said, "And the three of you don't want to run away. If he is able to make it today, he has to blame you for fueling the flames. If he is not honest and atones for his sins, it will not be as simple as a shadow when he encounters trouble next time. I saved you this time because you donated money to the temple and did not sin. I only shot it for the sake of death, if I don’t make amends when I go back, I won’t care about the next time there is a problem..."

The four guys immediately turned ashen, but Li Yi ignored them, winked at Yuan Tong and Yuan Da, and went out.

The two old monks invited Li Yi to the opposite room to preside over it. The old monk was also awake, sitting on the edge of the bed with the quilt in his arms and warming himself by the fire.

"Thank you Master Li for your help." The old monk bowed and said.

"Don't dare to take it, hehe." Li Yi also sat down and warmed himself with a smile.

"Sigh, this small monastery of ours is really restless." The old monk said, "At any rate, we are also an ancient temple that has been passed down for thousands of years. In the past, when the incense was the most prosperous, the entire mountain top belonged to our temple. Dozens of hectares of fields, hundreds of houses and halls, and thousands of monks. When we beat the little devils, there were more than 100 people in our temple, and dozens of monks and soldiers went down the mountain. But since 40 years ago After the chaos, there were not many people in the temple, and because of that thing, seeing the former believers coming and smashing it, all the monks in the temple also ran away, chanting Amitabha, but turned their heads and smashed the Buddha statue, It seemed to be stimulated, and later when someone came to burn incense, he would test others in various ways, not to mention the fake ones, even the real believers were scared away, seeing that the incense in other temples has become more and more prosperous in recent years , but no one came here, and it seems to be getting dilapidated day by day..."

Li Yi was speechless. Speaking of which, the mouse spirit was also a hard-fought man. After 800 years, he still couldn't understand the world, so he went on a crooked path.

"As you can see, the main hall in front is getting more and more dilapidated, and the roof is exposed to rain. If it is not repaired, it will collapse in a short time. So I thought about letting Xuanyun go down the mountain for alms. Originally, Boss Qian jumped in the queue. He was rescued by our temple at that time, and he became the big boss when he came here a few years ago, so he went to defect to the past. After working for a year or so, it was enough to repair the main hall. Unexpectedly, when Xuanyun left, that Shu The adults also followed. We were so happy that we found out that it still had a follower in the temple. As long as outsiders came to the temple, he would call their names in the middle of the night. As long as anyone agreed, he would run to attract people. Yang Qi..."

"What if you don't agree?" Li Yi asked.

"Then it will mutter that he is deaf and a poor disabled person, and he will let him go." Yuan Tong interjected with a grin.

Li Yi also smiled wryly, the apprentice trained by the mouse essence had a surprisingly low IQ.

"Oh, not long ago, the three of us were discussing to catch him. Who knew that this thing is very thieves. The three of us have old arms and old legs. Although we have practiced a little bit of supernatural power, we are not very successful. We are busy. After several nights, I couldn't do anything about it. I was thinking about waiting for Xuanyun to come back, but he... Thanks to Master Li for taking action today..."

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Li Yi said, "Master Xuanyun is because I invited him to go on business, and it can be regarded as a complete cultivation. Masters don't need to be sad. But what will you do in the future?"

"Nowadays it is difficult for monasteries to recruit people. Monks and Taoists are all professional students. They have to be paid and have to get married and have children when they come. Do you think they are still monks?" The old monk smiled wryly, "Even if you agree to these conditions , a small monastery like ours can’t make money without incense, and no one wants to come, this matter can only be counted as a day..."

Li Yi can only sigh at this situation, why are there so few people who know Taoism and magical powers now?Because most of these things have to be cultivated from an early age. Like a monk, he grew up in a monastery since he was an orphan, and he has cultivated a little bit of Taoism with a pure heart and no interference from the outside world. Letting people get married is considered child abuse and it is illegal!

The result of people's enlightenment is all kinds of impetuosity. Looking at the various masters today, how many of them have real practice, and how many of them strictly abide by the precepts?Monasticism has become a profession, the purpose is only to make money!Even the three in front of me, didn't they wrong to save a bastard like Zhu Yiyang for the sake of money?

"Before Master Xuanyun left, I begged me to help him take care of the three masters, or help you find another apprentice, or take you down the mountain after a few years when your health can't bear it." Li Yi said, "Help you find a new apprentice." It may be difficult for the apprentice, after all, it is not unreasonable to have an orphan for you to raise in this day and age, but fortunately, I run a nursing home, so you can consider going to my nursing home to live up to your old age."

"Hehe, thank you Master Li, our health is not bad, let's talk about it in a few years." The old monk said with a smile, "Besides, we don't believe that the Buddha will make our ancient temple extinct. Maybe there is a chance to meet again Maybe a good heir."

Li Yi nodded and stopped persuading them. People with faith will not be scared away by difficulties. Besides, they have lived here for decades. It is really difficult for them to leave the monastery and go down the mountain to retire.

After deciding on the business, we went back to sleep. At least it was dawn, and it was a sunny day when the sun came out. When the ice and snow began to freeze around noon, Li Yi took Zhu Yiyang, four people, and the three monks who had left to go down the mountain together. ...
