On the second day, some wonderful changes occurred on the streets of Banshanfang.
Several bulletin boards set up on the street were crowded with people, and many people pointed at the notices.
Later, when I didn’t know why, I asked the commentator with curiosity on his face.
"Huh? What's written on it? Can you tell me?"
The lecturer was smiling all over. The government had given an extra bonus for this job today, and he was very dedicated and tireless in explaining it.
I have explained several waves early in the morning and drank two bottles of water in a row.
Seeing someone else asking, he enthusiastically explained: "Good news! This is good news!"
"Several eminent monks have come to Fuyun Temple in Banshanfang. Today, in order to thank the people in the temple for their incense offerings, the masters in the temple decided to send a string of Buddhist beads to every pilgrim who enters the temple, and the eminent monks will hold the beads to chant sutras and consecrate them in person. It’s extremely effective!”
"Oh, if I hadn't been able to get away, I would have wanted to go there."
After speaking, the commentator shook his head regretfully.
The person who asked the question was happy: "Really! Is there such a good thing?"
"Of course it's true! Can the Buddha's story be half-falsified? And this is a government bulletin board, how can we make nonsense of it? Go quickly! We won't be able to queue up in a while!"
"Thank you!" After saying that, the man ran away quickly. When the people around him heard this, they ran towards Fuyun Temple without hesitation.
"Huh? What's written on it? Can you tell me?"
Just after one wave came, another wave came, and the commentator came to greet them again.

In less than half a day, the event of masters from Fuyun Temple giving free Buddhist beads for on-site consecration has spread throughout the whole community and even in several surrounding cities.
Countless people went to Fuyun Temple to receive free consecrated beads.
What a good thing! Don’t give it up for free, I didn’t expect that there would be such a great thing as a pie in the sky!
Abbot Hongcheng of Fuyun Temple naturally didn't know what was going on.
He was in a very happy mood these days. Someone gave him money and begged him to send it to a monk in the temple. With such a good thing, he naturally agreed.
Just as he expected, several eminent monks settled in Fuyun Temple and immediately brought rich incense to the temple.
For a time, the threshold of Fuyun Temple was almost broken, and the merit box was cleared again and again.
But just this morning, the gate of Fuyun Temple opened wide to welcome guests, and countless people who had been blocking the door swarmed in.
Abbot Hongcheng was overjoyed at first looking at the crowd, but soon fell into deep thought...
The dense crowd looked at him and unanimously said that they wanted free beads to be consecrated on the spot.
Abbot Hongcheng was confused... I had never heard of such an activity. Where did the rumors come from?
He wanted to explain, but looking at the enthusiastic crowd, he swallowed silently.
If you really say no, I'm afraid something big will happen to Fuyun Temple! Who is spreading rumors outside?
Abbot Hongcheng forced a smile on his face: "Since all the donors are here, I should naturally give out the beads... Several masters will come out later, please line up!"
After hearing this, everyone lined up with joyful expressions on their faces, but there were so many people in Fuyun Temple that the queues were densely packed no matter what.
Some people in the back even started fighting because of the crowd.
Fortunately, the abbot had great skills in persuading fights and stopped the fight remotely.
Then Abbot Hongcheng ran back to the main hall in a cold sweat and gathered several eminent monks together.
"A big event happened in the temple today! If it cannot be handled properly, I am afraid that Fuyun Temple...will have a big accident."
"I would like to ask some masters to give a string to each pilgrim in the temple, and to recite sutras and consecrate each string of beads... I really have no choice but to trouble these masters, and I feel ashamed..."
After speaking, Abbot Hongcheng also gave a big gift.
Several eminent monks agreed without hesitation, but they felt a little strange in their hearts.
It’s just a consecration and chanting sutras. What’s so difficult about such a small thing? Don’t you do it on weekdays? It's just a little troublesome. In the past, we used to consecrate them in batches. Today, we consecrate them one at a time, but it doesn't matter.
The relaxed mood did not last long. When they walked out of the hall, several eminent monks broke through the defense on the spot. Their faces immediately fell and they screamed silently in their hearts.
I blanch! what's the situation! Is there any place to stay in the temple?
Why so many people!
The number of people in front of us has far exceeded usual! If we really want to consecrate them one by one, I'm afraid it will be the year of the monkey and the horse and the moon! Isn’t this deceiving!
Abbot Hongcheng, who was a thief, had already ordered the young monk to move out all the Buddhist beads in the temple.
A box was placed in front of an eminent monk....
"Don't be anxious, everyone! Please ask all the masters to consecrate the Buddha beads now. Come forward one by one, and don't make a mess!"
Several eminent monks twitched their faces at the same time, unable to get off the tiger! what to do! what to do?
no way! It’s time to get your eyebrows raised!
Several eminent monks could only put on professional smiling faces, and began to kneel down on the futon, picked up a string of Buddhist beads, closed their eyes and started chanting...
Time passed bit by bit... The familiar friction feeling from the rosary beads had begun to turn into a stinging pain.
However, several eminent monks with advanced cultivation remained calm and calm as they chanted sutras and consecrated the beads.
The people who got the beads were naturally grateful and left happily.
However, even after half a day, there was still an endless stream of people coming to the temple to ask for beads.
Several eminent monks no longer dared to watch, and the Buddhist sutras in their mouths gradually turned into rap through constant acceleration.
...........
Finally at night, there was still an endless stream of people queuing up.
Upon seeing this, Abbot Hongcheng jumped out quickly: "Everyone... this temple has been closed tonight! Donors, please go back, lest it gets too late and the journey becomes difficult."
There were dissatisfied voices from the crowd: "What! We've been waiting in line all day! Is it ridiculous to want to send us back now?"
"Yes! That's right! How dare you call yourself a monk if you don't keep your word!"
"Can you hurry up! I've been waiting in line all day! If you keep doing this, I won't come to your temple. They are all villains who don't keep their word! We won't leave! We must give us a satisfactory explanation. !”
"Can you hurry up, bald donkey!"
“…..”
Although everyone is a lover of Buddhism, their patience and cultivation have long been exhausted in the long queue.
Several masters who were still consecrating frantically almost spit out a mouthful of blood when they heard them talking like this.
The crazy consumption of the day has left several people on the verge of collapse, and they haven’t eaten breakfast, lunch or dinner yet!
My lips are chapped and my hands are all bald! After a hard day, I didn't feel better at the end.
Abbot Hongcheng jumped to his feet anxiously, and could only say helplessly: "Don't be anxious, everyone! Come back tomorrow! Come back tomorrow. Let's go back and rest early!"
"Will you still deliver it tomorrow?" someone in the crowd asked.
Abbot Hongcheng gritted his teeth and said: "Send it away! I will give it away for another day tomorrow! But it is only one day, and there are not many Buddhist beads in the temple. Tomorrow everyone will be on a first-come, first-served basis! That's it for today!"
"嘁~~"
Seeing that the abbot was resolute... everyone had no choice but to leave Fuyun Temple full of resentment.
