”Since it's like this, let's disperse.”
Hearing this, Fa Ming was enraged. ”You guys are so gluttonous, lazy, and sleepy. If you don't want to improve, how can you lead your junior?”
The three of them looked at each other, then kneeled down and said, ”Please master, please be our elder! We are grateful, but our temple is extremely fortunate! ” Farmer said, ”I will be your Elder. The three of you will listen to me from now on. ”Learn how to run a temple and build a door with me.”
The three of them turned to last week and said, ”Thank you, Master! Thank you, master! We are all willing to listen to Master's orders! ”
Little Shamei said happily, ”That's great! Great! He finally agreed! We have an elder! There's an elder! ”
One of the people who hated the three Senior Brothers the most shouted, ”Elder, stop lecturing them! It didn't matter if he didn't have three. He pretended to be dead. It would save a lot of food. ” The three of them turned around and glared at him.
Farmer said, ”Don't shout! Now listen to me. I was promoted to become a monk, to manage the behavior of monks, to protect the temple from damage; to be promoted to be a deacon, to be in charge of incense and entry and exit accounts; to be promoted to be a master monk, to be in charge of coaching monks and martial arts, and to protect the property of the temple from being infringed. Are you all willing? ” All the little Shame looked at each other in dismay. The three of them said to Fa Ming separately, ”No, no, Elder. Let's decide on someone else. ”My intellect is too weak to take on such a heavy responsibility.” I'm not good enough to be a coach. ”The prodigal invaders cannot resist the enemy.” I was born stupid, I can't settle accounts, and I can't manage legal affairs. ” ”He won't learn it on hand!” If you don't understand, just ask! Who dared to disobey the order? Who dares not to listen? ” The three of them stopped talking. Little Shamei pursed her lips.
Farmer scanned them one by one, thinking, ”It's hard.” He then tried asking, ”Are all of you willing to listen to the commands of your three senior brothers?” Little Shame immediately said, ”If the elders are willing, we are willing.” ”Actually, I don't want to.” Farmer almost laughed when he heard this. All of the little Shame kneeled down and said, ”The three of them are useless. We will not listen to them, we will only listen to the orders of the elders. Either that or I have to raise my rank! ”
Farmer's face sank, ”Don't lie and frame me. How could they be useless? Try talking about it! ”
The quick-witted little Shamei stood out and said, ”The three of them acted in an absurd and foolish manner, making people laugh to death in a ridiculous manner. The day before yesterday, we all looked to the elders from the east and did not see them for a long time. The three of them went out to pick up a young monk called Yuan Ming, who was not much older than us. The three of them were at church and called each other Elders. When the monk saw that he wasn't as old as his disciple, he became an Elder overnight and left the next day. The three of them are still pestering us to kneel down and not let go. We do not worship him, nor do we acknowledge him as an elder. The three of them are angry at us. ” Another little Shamei said, ”The three of them have no eyes, so they won't pick up the elders.” See how good it is for us to bring this elder over! ”
Hearing that Yuan Ming had come, he was overjoyed and asked, ”How old is Yuan Ming? What did it look like? ”What accent?”
The quick-witted little Shami said, ”Don't ask, Elder. That Yuan Ming was indeed young. He could not become an elder. He said twenty years more. ”They are of medium height, with potato eyes and a round, fat face. They talk and laugh, and their martial arts are not bad. They speak with an accent similar to ours.”
”This is the Yuan Ming I am looking for,” said Fa Ming. He really did come to Shandong. ” He then asked, ”What did you guys bring with you when you saw Yuan Ming?” Little Shamei said, ”He doesn't have anything. He came carrying only a small bundle. ”I left yesterday morning.” ”Where did he go?” Little Shamei said, ”I saw him heading west.”
”Yuan Ming must be trying to hide his Shandong accent,” said Fa Ming. Is he the same person I asked in Tianjin? ”According to the date, it's not that one.”
Fa Ming became somewhat anxious and hastily dealt with the matter at hand. He said to everyone, ”The matter in the temple is decided.” Let's see who's not up to the job. No one could be careless with their objections. I am your abbot elder. ”
All the young Shamei were full of joy, surrounded by Farmer.
”From now on, the morning bells in the temple will ring and the evening drums. We must work on time and attend meditation on time. ”All of you should go rest now. Just listen to my orders in the morning.” Some people made up a meditation bed for Farmer, and then all of them went to rest.
Fa Ming was so focused on chasing Yuan Ming that he managed to stay the night. At dawn, Farmer gathered his men and said, ”All of you have to listen to your three senior brothers. Carefully manage the monastery. No one is allowed to talk about splitting up. I have urgent matters to attend to and will be back in a few days. I'll come back, and we'll go straight to the point. I'll teach you guys martial arts. ” With that, Farmer took the bag and prepared to leave.
