Ma Yunfeng almost cried on the phone, saying thank you so much, you are so interesting, I am only in my twenties, and you have to give me the whole class, how cruel.
I said that’s nothing. Who allowed us to have this relationship? I will definitely keep my word when the time comes.
Ma Yunfeng said you are such a bastard. I won’t be on your family’s list. I will still work hard to have children on my own and let my son support me in the future. If you never get a wife, when you die, I will I also asked you to come to my court, I will make you the leader of Qingfeng, and I will tie up eight wives for you and burn them!
The two of us chatted for a while. Uncle Ma took the call and praised me very much. He also said that I had made a great contribution to the temple. When he erected a merit monument in the temple in the future, he would carve one for me. .
I said you can take it down. I can’t engrave a stele. The ancestor also knew that I donated it, so he carved a side for me alone. Why didn’t you tell me to offer it to the temple?
Uncle Ma said that's no problem. When you die, I will write a memorial tablet for you and put it in the temple, and offer you incense every day.
I asked you, can you please stop making trouble, and you are still waiting for me to quack. You are over 60, who among us will quack first?
Uncle Ma was silent for a moment and said, "Then you write a memorial tablet for me and place it in the temple. Remember, I want to offer it together with Taoist Master Zixu..."
In fact, after talking to them for such a long time, an idea came to me, so I asked Uncle Ma, if in a few decades, I will not be able to provide for the immortal family, or I am exhausted, what can I do? Can't we find a way out for the immortals in the hall, for example, go to the temple?
In fact, I have my own thoughts when I say this, because I don’t want to be the sole king of monuments, nor do I want to cause trouble for future generations.
It would be best if the immortals could have perfect merits and virtues in my place. Of course, it would be even better if I could also have perfect merits and virtues. I would take the immortals with me to the fairy world. That would be so much fun.
But if that doesn't work, I still hope to arrange a way out for the immortals.
Uncle Ma told me that these immortals are not worshiped in ordinary temples, but there are exceptions. For example, some places have separate halls for the Five Immortals.
If you think about the immortals, then you can do more merit. On the one hand, you can help them complete their merits as soon as possible and ascend to the immortal world. On the other hand, you can also make more money. When the opportunity comes, you can practice a ritual for the immortals yourself. Big temple!
When I heard this, my little mind was a little shocked. If we could really build a big temple for the Immortal family, how happy would the Immortal family be?
I said, Uncle Ma, it is very difficult to build a large temple for the Xian family, because many places now do not grant approval at all, let alone the Xian family temple, which is not the same as a Taoist temple.
Uncle Ma said it's not that simple. You can build a Taoist temple first, worship all kinds of immortals as usual inside, and then leave a hall inside for the immortal family alone. Wouldn't that be enough?
Is it allowed for me to say this?
Uncle Ma said, who dares not to allow it? You built the temple, the merits are yours, and who you want to offer sacrifices to, isn’t it you who has the final say? !
When I thought about it, it was true. I built the temple, the money was earned by the immortal family, and the incense belongs to the gods. If I let the immortal family and the gods live in the same temple, and they can post stickers together when they have nothing to do, that would be a big deal. The benefits!
It can not only promote my Tao, but also educate the people, and give the Immortal family a good place. It kills three birds with one stone! This is it!
But I know that to build a big temple by myself requires more than just money, not to mention that I don’t have any money, because the cost is at least one million, or even several million.
It also requires relationships with all aspects of society, which is easy to say but very difficult to do.
The most important point is that if you want to build a temple, you must have the merits and blessings. Most people don’t have the blessings to build a temple. If the merits are not enough, it will be useless, because if your heart is not right, the gods may not be able to do it. Come!
However, the seed of building a temple has been quietly buried in my heart since then. I feel that if I keep doing good deeds, giving alms, and donating to the temple, one day I will have enough merit and save enough money. I can build a big temple of my own. When the time comes, I will let Uncle Ma be the abbot, I will be the deputy abbot, and Ma Yunfeng will look after the gate!
Hahahahaha, just thinking about it makes me feel happy!
Although it may not be realized, the ideal still has to be there. What if it is realized?
Having said all that, the final result was that I donated the 20,000 yuan bonus. In Ma Yunfeng’s words, it was like replacing a thigh of the statue.
After donating the money, I feel at ease and feel refreshed.
And at this time, the results of my novels were getting better and better. Although supernatural novels were not popular in 2013, my ranking in the category has always been in the top two.
In terms of manuscript fees, it was only a few thousand yuan a month at that time, but for the supernatural at that time, it was already a very good result, because there were only a few books in the entire category that had more than a thousand orders, and I was one of them.
It’s just that the market environment at that time and now is completely different, so I won’t say more about it.
But as the writing continued, the book gradually came to an end.
Many authors, including readers, can actually understand that the closer a book is to the end, the more complicated the emotions will be, as if a lover who has been in love for a long time is about to break up, or a relationship that has been in love for a long time is about to end.
In the years to come, there will only be memories left.
The same goes for me, especially since it was my first book, which is equivalent to my first love.
But when it comes to my first love, I'm a little confused. People say that my right match is about to appear, but it's been a long time since I came back from Zhongnan Mountain, and even Wang Xiaoyi has found a partner. Where is my right match?
Thinking about it from another angle, I'm not in a hurry. After all, I'm very poor now. If I were to find someone else, the money in my pocket wouldn't be enough to do anything.
Not to mention getting married and starting a family, just when you are with someone, you can eat, go shopping, watch movies, and rent a house...this package is a lot of money.
Therefore, I still have to seize the time to make money. Not to mention starting a family, I also have a dream of building a big temple!
So I worked hard to code and write novels. At the same time, I also adhered to the rule of three hexagrams every day and worked hard towards this goal!
But this is easy to say, but in fact it is quite difficult. I feel that it was a mistake of Uncle Ma to let me stay at home to make money.
When it comes to making money, Ma Yunfeng has to do it...
I was so stubborn that I persisted for almost a month. After including the royalties and fortune-telling, and then deducting the expenses, the money I saved was only a few thousand yuan.
Then, Uncle Ma called and said that there was a shortage of a large incense burner over there, so the several thousand dollars were gone!
I'm worried...
But just at this moment, Shen Xing, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly received news.
But he didn't contact me personally. Instead, Li Na called me and said that Shen Xing would come to Harbin at the end of this month.
