Chapter 6 Someone finally joined the team

Huo Yuanzhen got off the table and said to the two: "Two senior brothers, how are your income today?"

"Ah! This junior brother, this is really amazing. Do you know that there are more than 200 copper coins today, and there are more than three taels of silver. I have become rich and rich, uh, Amitabha, the Buddha atones for his sins, and the disciples are greedy."

Huo Yuanzhen laughed in his heart. Everyone needs to eat, and the same goes for monks.

"Okay, two senior brothers, let's divide the money on the spot and say goodbye."

The two monks looked at each other, and the older one said, "I'm sure this junior brother, I'm not sure about it. We brothers and brothers have no temples. We are wandering around now, and there are people who have no meals and no place to go. I heard from my junior brother that you are from Shaolin Temple, and it must be the Zen temple where you are. I don't know what the situation is in your temple?"

"Here you come!".

Huo Yuanzhen was secretly happy, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He pondered for a moment: "Our temple is also newly built, and there are two people besides me."

"Are those two men the Lingshi?"

"My master has already gone to the immortal a few days ago."

"Amitabha!".

The two monks bowed their heads, expressed their condolences, and said, "I wonder if the temple can take in foreign monks?"

"Although there is no precedent for this, I have taken over as the abbot of this temple. If I pass the character and do not greed or take possession, I can naturally consider it."

"Abbot!".

The two monks were shocked, but they didn't expect that the monk who was like beggars in front of them was actually the abbot. This is really a shameless person.

"It turned out to be Master Abbot, and the two brothers of me are disrespectful."

The two monks hurriedly bowed to Huo Yuanzhen. This time they really bowed, not perfunctory. Buddhism is very disciplined. What a noble identity the abbot is, how could it be compared with these two monks who don’t even have a temple?

Huo Yuanzhen nodded slightly and bowed his head.

Seeing Huo Yuanzhen showing reservedness, the monk hurriedly handed over all his money to Huo Yuanzhen.

"Master Abbot, we brothers and sisters have not contributed their efforts to earn this money and will not receive any rewards without any merits. You should take it back."

"How can you be so embarrassed? Let's say half of each person."

Huo Yuanzhen was polite, but took the money over, without any intention of letting go.

The monk glanced at the copper and silver liang, tried hard to retract his gaze, calmed down, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Master Abbot, although monks should not be greedy for money, we also need money and have to eat. After all, relying on begging alone is not safe, and it is better to have some spares. However, we have been wandering outside for several years and know that money cannot be spent for a long time. Even if all of this money is given to us, I am afraid that it will last for less than half a year. We see that Master Abbot is outstanding in his talent and will definitely be able to carry forward Buddhism in the future. We are willing to join the temple and make it stable."

"Since that's the case, then okay, seeing that you two admire me so much, I reluctantly agree. You guys will follow me up the mountain today."

The matter was done, Huo Yuanzhen took a little control and collected the money.

He really needs money now. Not only does he have no food on the mountain, but he also has several places where he needs to spend a lot of money.

The buildings in the temple can be drawn by drawing construction tokens, but there are several items that cannot be drawn, such as the temple needs to be leveled and then paved with bluestone, which requires money.

The Shaolin Temple envisioned by Huo Yuanzhen is a temple with a large area. This floor-based item cannot be successful without a thousand taels of silver.

There is also the wall, which costs a lot of money.

In addition, the roads to the mountain need to be repaired, at least they have to be built into bluestone steps, which costs even higher than paving the floor.

After the matter was settled, the two monks asked Huo Yuanzhen's Dharma name.

"I am a precept for a monk".

"Amitabha Buddha, the abbot of the One Precept is polite. My monk's Dharma name is Huizhen. This is Huiming, my monk's junior brother."

"Well, let's do it. You two will first enter my Shaolin outer sect. We will temporarily call you brothers and sisters. We will decide whether you will join the inner sect until we see you two perform in the future."

"The abbot is merciful, and I am sure that I will not disappoint the abbot."

Huizhen Huiming once again bowed to Huo Yuanzhen. This time they were really concerned. Monks also valued face very much. Now that they have joined Shaolin, if they can't even enter the inner sect, they will be really ashamed of Master Yijie's Bodhisattva's heart.

They didn't know that there was no saying that Shaolin Temple had an inner and outer sects at all. This was also what Huo Yuanzhen thought of temporarily. This mechanism should be feasible. Only with pressure can there be motivation. No reward and punishment system was set up. These monks did not value actual interests. What they valued more was the false reputation. At that time, they would naturally strive to be the best for this false reputation. Huo Yuan really grasped their psychology and decided to formulate this mechanism temporarily, and it would be promoted in Shaolin in the future.

With two newcomers, Huo Yuanzhen started purchasing. Because the market had dispersed, he had to go to those shops and purchased a lot of ingredients and supplies.

Huizhen and Huiming have good physical fitness, and it seems that they have practiced for a few years. Under the strong request of their two, Huo Yuanzhen was so happy that he was free and was carrying all the two big burdens on them.

After a busy day, the three of them headed up the mountain.

After arriving at Shaolin Temple, it was already night. Yikong and Yijing were about to go to bed when they found that Huo Yuanzhen was back.

They didn't plan to come out to greet him, but they heard that they were not alone and couldn't sleep.

You should know that from the time of establishing the temple to the present, in addition to the four masters and disciples, there were no more than ten outsiders, including three beggars, two collecting herbs, one chopping wood, and a shepherd girl who came once, and one thief came, but none of them stole a single hair.

It's midnight today, and outsiders are coming. Naturally, they find it novel and of course they have to come out to see it.

Huo Yuanzhen recommended each other to the four people and told Yikongyijing that Huizhen and Huiming will be disciples of Shaolin from now on, and we will be called brothers and sisters from now on.

Yijing is better, and he doesn't care much about things other than martial arts. His attention is quickly attracted by the two large bags of ingredients brought back by Huo Yuanzhen.

It’s different for Yihu. If you want to say that the three of them are the normal monks and are also normal people. They like to show off their qualifications and act like senior brothers. However, these three people are too familiar with each other and cannot show off their majesty even if they want to show off.

But now, the newcomer is now, and he seems to be familiar with Buddhism in his words and words, and he immediately feels threatened.

"Not good, the position of a master of Buddhism is not guaranteed."

Yikong felt the pressure and even more indifferent, saying hello to Huizhen and Huiming, haha, so that he highlighted his special status in the temple.

Huiming is also gentle and doesn't care about it. Huizhen is a little scheming. Seeing Yikong's attitude, his attitude became colder.

The two of them started talking for a few words, but later they talked about Buddhism, and they started to debate each other.

Seeing that the two of them refused to give in to each other as soon as they met, Huo Yuanzhen didn't interfere. This is good, there is pressure only when there is competition. They will fight for it, so Shaolin will also become more popular.

However, all developments must be within your control.

"Okay, in the future, you four will sleep in the same room and have a baby to rest early."

Although Yikong wanted to say it was very crowded, he still knew that he respected the abbot's authority in front of the newcomer and did not speak.

The young man Yijing, the naughty young man, seemed to want to say something, but Huo Yuanzhen glared at him without saying anything.

Arranged the four monks who were not very good at it together, Huo Yuanzhen returned to his room and lay down and began to think about it.

Shaolin's houses are too tense. If this small temple continues for a long time, it may not be able to retain people. The current top priority is no longer a matter of martial arts, but a need to expand the territory as soon as possible.

At least two houses are built for everyone to rest, and living in the Buddhist temple is not a big deal.

All of this requires money.

Let’s wait for tomorrow, it’s better tomorrow. After the one-to-one transmission tonight and tomorrow morning, ten transmissions to a hundred. Tomorrow, many people should come to the mountain to listen to their stories about Journey to the West. When the popularity becomes popular, they will naturally be rich.

Having a beautiful dream, Huo Yuanzhen spent another night on the wooden bed.
