The four words Great Thunderclap Temple are not very harmful to Leiyin disciples like Glazed Buddha Ancestor, but they are extremely insulting.
But Cheng Yun didn't care about them. Medicine Master City's situation was very bad and he didn't have time.
"The first task today is to distribute food."
He stood in the newly built courtyard and said to the modern monk next to him.
"Food must be delivered to every household by hand, without leaving anything behind."
"The medical team will arrive tomorrow. We will take advantage of this visit to count the people who need medical assistance."
The few modern monks around him didn't have any objections when they heard this.
Not to mention spreading faith, the first thing is not to starve to death.
"The area of Medicine Master City is not small. Let's work hard. Everyone has their own tasks." Cheng Yun recalled the whole picture of Medicine Master City that he saw from high altitude, made an estimate, and said, "There are eight of us, and we are divided into eight areas. Each person is responsible for one area."
"According to <Great Thunderclap Temple Grassroots Work Manual>, pay attention to the way you work. First of all, be patient and don't be afraid of visits."
"The second thing is to be kind. Medicine Master City These people have suffered too much. It is normal to be a little defensive and even have psychological problems. Don't rush to build trust."
"Third, we must adhere to principles. There are those who have committed crimes, those who have committed serious crimes, and those who are rogues. We don't have to endure it. Punishing a group of them severely will win the hearts of the people.

"Remember, we are going to Divine Way Method, and Divine Way Method must put the masses first!"
The seven modern monks beside him nodded.
<Great Thunderclap Temple Grassroots Work Manual> was originally a summary of modern experience, and was later optimized for the situation of the Western Continent. Many original grassroots workers even joined the action.
Cheng Yun was not afraid of Medicine Master Bodhisattva and the others hearing it, but clapped his hands and said, "Dao Ancestor has told me, Great Thunderclap Temple disciples, not to be superstitious, but also not to lose faith."
"Divine Way Method is bottom-up, not top-down. Divine Way The power of monks comes from the common people. As long as Western Continent the common people trust me Great Thunderclap Temple, then Glazed Buddha Ancestor will collapse without a fight."
"Don't be afraid of being tired or bothered. What Great Thunderclap Temple wants to achieve is a service-oriented Divine Way system - the power of Incense Power is the salary these mortals give us, do you understand?"
Others responded with a bang.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva heard this and sneered in his heart, this Great Thunderclap Temple disciple even fooled himself, it was too hypocritical.
Cheng Yun doesn't think this is outrageous at all.
Just like Medicine Master Bodhisattva cannot understand what Great Thunderclap Temple is doing, Cheng Yun, as a modern person, feels that this Divine Way mode is very natural.
He assigned the task and did not sit idle. He flew to Beicheng and took charge of this area of Beicheng.
He started knocking on the door at the first house on the street.
"Is anyone there?"
There was no movement inside, and no one seemed to be home.
But Cheng Yun didn't move. As a monk of Spirit Transformation, he could sense that there were two mortals in the room.
After a while, he knocked on the wooden door twice more.
There were finally footsteps inside, dragging on the ground, taking two steps and stopping one step, light and airy.
Finally, the footsteps came behind the wooden door, and there was no movement again.
Cheng Yun did not knock on the door again, but whispered, "We are here to deliver food."
With a creak, the wooden door finally opened.
Cheng Yun looked down and saw a girl who was only as tall as his thigh timidly stretched out her head.
From his perspective, the girl's body was very thin, and her head looked huge. He couldn't even see her shoulders at all, only a top of her head with scattered, sparse, and yellow hair.
"Eat?"
The girl raised her head and said.
Cheng Yun flashed Storage Bag in his hand, took out a bag of rice and a pot of oil, placed them in front of the girl, and nodded to her.
With nothing else in her eyes, the girl pulled open the string that tied the bag. She was stunned for a moment because the rice grains in the bag were white and full.
Then, she did something that even Cheng Yun didn't expect:
The girl reached out, grabbed a handful of uncooked rice, and stuffed it into her mouth.
This movement was so fast that Cheng Yun was startled and quickly grabbed the girl's wrist.
Before he could speak, the girl's expression suddenly became panicked. She held the rice in her hand tightly. "Then - I won't eat it, and I'll give it to my mother to take a bite."
Cheng Yun's heart suddenly softened. He sighed and said softly, "It's not that I won't eat it for you, but it's not good to eat it raw."
The girl seemed to be still young and didn't understand much, but she didn't dare to speak, but she still held the few grains of rice in her little hands.
Cheng Yun Seeing her like this, she had to ask, "Take me to see your mother, okay?"
The girl nodded and took him into the house.
The main room was empty, with no tables or chairs. A woman was lying on a straw mat, half raising her head with difficulty to look at the two of them.
Although this woman looks sallow and thin, she still has a bookish air about her. It seems that she does not come from a small family.
"What's wrong with you, madam?"
"Mom——I haven't eaten for many days, so I ate all the food." The girl replied, then walked up to the woman, stretched out her hand and said, "Mom, food!"
The woman glanced at it, nodded, then stretched her chin, indicating to the girl to eat by herself, and then looked at Cheng Yun with doubtful eyes.
Cheng Yun didn't say anything, but played Method Formula. A ball of water appeared in the void, wrapped around a ball of rice, and began to boil.
In just a few breaths, the fragrance of rice filled the entire room.
The little girl's stomach growled.
Cheng Yun divided the cooked rice into six rice balls and brought them to the two of them. "Eat."
The girl also lowered her guard. She took a rice ball in each hand, taking a bite from the left and a bite from the right. She was very happy.
On the other hand, although her mother was even more hungry, she only ate one rice ball and put it down. She didn't know whether she didn't dare to eat more or wanted to leave more for her daughter.
"The master is----Thunderclap Temple?"
After eating, she finally had the strength to speak.
Cheng Yun smiled and said, "To be precise, we belong to Great Thunderclap Temple."
"Great Thunderclap Temple?"
The woman looked a little confused.
Cheng Yun didn't explain much, but asked, "What's your surname, madam?"
"Expensive?" The woman became more and more frightened, "How do you say expensive in front of the master? My surname is Gu, and my family calls me Gu Liuniang."
"Mrs. Gu." Cheng Yun's voice was still gentle, "Is there anyone else at home?"
"Where is there anyone?" Gu Liuniang looked a little sad, "A few days ago, the rest of the family went to Thunderclap Temple and didn't come back. It was chaotic outside. Yan'er and I didn't dare to go out. We just pretended that no one was at home. Even the tables and chairs were cut down and burned."
Cheng Yun was silent after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he took out a cloth bag and said, "We don't have enough food now. Each person only has one bag of rice for the time being. Someone will send more in the future."
"Mrs. Gu, your health is fine. Just eat more and get more rest these two days."
"I Great Thunderclap Temple will send someone again in two days."
Gu Liuniang couldn't help but ask, "May I ask where Great Thunderclap Temple came from?"
Cheng Yun smiled and explained, "We are the orthodox inheritance of Thunderclap Temple. The previous Thunderclap Temple has been occupied by Outer Dao. Now we are here to rectify the source.
"Clean source----"
Gu Liuniang murmured.
In Thunderclap Temple, Medicine Master Bodhisattva opened his eyes and cursed in a low voice, "What a shameless statement! Extremely cunning!"
He also understood what these people were thinking.
To put it bluntly, Thunderclap Temple now has a very complicated reputation among the Western Continent people.
On the one hand, many mortals are full of resentment towards Thunderclap Temple because of what happened to Blissful Incense.
But on the other hand, Thunderclap Temple ruled Western Continent for several epochs and millions of years.
For ordinary people, obeying the rule of Thunderclap Temple and believing in Buddhism have become a habit and even a stamp of thought. This kind of thing is hard to see and touch, but in essence, it is a kind of cultural psychology, which is difficult to change in a short period of time.
Zheng Fa can understand this very deeply:
There is actually not much difference in knowledge and technical reserves between Nine Mountains Immortal Court and Modern World.
However, there are extremely subtle differences in the systems chosen by the two sides, the technologies they value, and the monks' ideas.
Modern society values equality more and prefers production-oriented Law Technique, which is also more pure and free in research.
Nine Mountains Immortal Court Xuanwei is more traditional, and monks also prefer fighting.
Maitreya The path they chose is simple:
Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor The intention is good.
But later generations failed to implement it.
To put it simply, I am annotating Buddhist scriptures. Don't worry about whether Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor means this. I just say it is.
There may be some hidden dangers, but after experiments, this is the fastest, most effective and most direct method.
It is even very attractive to the group of mortals who are dissatisfied with Thunderclap Temple.
Even though they are fierce, psychologically, they are the ones who believe in Thunderclap Buddhist Law the most and are also the most completely disillusioned. There is a sense of absurdity that love leads to hatred - Great Thunderclap Temple. To a certain extent, this kind of statement caters to their psychological state.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yun said firmly, "What I, Great Thunderclap Temple, want is to uphold Buddhism True Intention and bring order to chaos."
Gu Liuniang mumbled twice after hearing the words, as if he didn't know what to say, and there wasn't even any movement on his face.
Cheng Yun didn't say much. He knew that Great Thunderclap Temple himself was not good at this kind of publicity, at least not as good as Thunderclap Temple.
According to his work experience, Western Continent mortals should be numb to beautiful words. The threshold is very high. Thunderclap Temple's previous dose was so strong that they even developed antibodies.
What Great Thunderclap Temple wants to do is to rebuild Thunderclap Temple's reputation as a ruin.
"Mom! Is this Great Thunderclap Temple? It's not that big!"
Gu Liuniang held her daughter's hand tightly, feeling a little nervous.
During these days, Great Thunderclap Temple masters will send some grain and oil in a few days, and some people will come specifically to consult and deliver medicine.
Just a few days ago, people from Great Thunderclap Temple suddenly said that to get food and oil, they had to go to Great Thunderclap Temple.
She is feeling better.
But she was very afraid in her heart. Previously, her husband and father had gone to Thunderclap Temple to receive rice porridge, but in the end they never came back.
But in the past few days, the masters at Great Thunderclap Temple have been very kind, and she has gained more trust in her heart. Most importantly, she is really scared.
She waited for a few brave neighbors to go first and saw them come back safe and sound. She waited for a few more days before arriving at Great Thunderclap Temple.
As my daughter said, Great Thunderclap Temple is not big at all.
It only occupies half a street and several yards, much smaller than the Thunderclap Temple in Medicine Master City.
Thunderclap Temple There were many people coming in and out at the door, and they seemed to be all mortals.
What makes Gu Liuniang uneasy is that everyone who walks out of the yard has a silly smile on their face, staring in confusion, as if they have taken Blissful Incense.
She couldn't help feeling frightened, so she poked her head around the door and looked towards Great Thunderclap Temple.
I saw Cheng Yun standing in the courtyard, seeming to be arranging something.
Cheng Yun seemed to still remember when he saw her. He nodded to her and said, "Forgive me, madam, but we don't have enough manpower and we really don't have time to deliver food to your door."
Gu Liuniang was startled.
She didn't expect that Cheng Yun understood her worries very well. What was even more surprising was that Cheng Yun would actually explain it to her.
She listened quietly for a while and then realized that almost every new person, Cheng Yun, would take the trouble to apologize and explain.
Suddenly she was no longer so afraid and led her daughter towards the temple.
Cheng Yun is telling the truth.
When they first came to the door, in addition to delivering food, they mainly conducted census and screening.
On the other hand, it is also because there are many mortals who simply do not have the energy to go out.
Now that so much time has passed, the situation is different.
Gu Liuniang looked around and saw the new arrivals lining up in a courtyard, so she hurried over.
Although there were many people, there were also many lines, eighteen in total, so it was their turn soon.
A disciple of Great Thunderclap Temple sat behind the table, raised his eyes at her, and said, "Name, address."
.
Gu Liuniang quickly reported his and his daughter's names.
As soon as the disciple stretched out his hand, a paper bag flew into his palm from the room behind him. He handed the paper bag to Gu Liuniang and said, "There are three months' worth of grain, oil and cloth coupons in it. Use the coupons to get food and clothes in the first yard on the left. You can come here to collect them every month, or you can collect them all at once."
This is also a helpless move by Great Thunderclap Temple.
In essence, Western Continent did not have much production capacity in a short period of time. Many materials had to be supplied by Modern World. For the sake of fairness and convenience, Great Thunderclap Temple simply adopted this ancient model.
Another advantage of this is that the notes can be exchanged freely, which is more flexible than sending materials directly. But for Gu Liuniang, this is simply unheard of.
Not only do you get rice, oil and salt, but you also get clothes?
"Also, here is your land deed."
"Tian Deed?"
Gu Liuniang was stunned.
"It will be rented to you based on headcount, but there will be no land rent." The disciple explained, "The lease period is five years and will be adjusted later. If you can't do the work, you can outsource it to others."
"Just go to the second courtyard on the right to sign the contract."
Gu Liuniang is a little dizzy.
Her family was not in a bad situation, and of course they had land in the past, but she had long understood that she would not be able to keep her family property now that she was orphaned and widowed.
Now I didn't expect that I would have more fields of my own out of thin air.
But things are not over yet.
"Remember, the most important thing in it is the admission notice."
"Enrollment?"
Gu Liuniang was so happy that he couldn't help but look at his daughter.
"Yes, your daughter is just old enough to go to elementary school." The disciple quickly explained.
"Thank you, Master!"
"You're welcome." The disciple waved his hand and suddenly asked, "Are you literate?"
Gu Liuniang was a little confused. "I know a few words."
"Then you have to take the exam. If you pass the exam, you don't need to go to the literacy school. You can go directly to the adult Vocational Academy and learn a skill faster."
Gu Liuniang was completely confused. "Can I go to school too?"
"Of course, we can't support you all our lives." The disciple gave her a strange look and said directly, "You have hands and feet, fields and skills. You have to support yourself. If you have good qualifications, you might be able to practice."
Practice?
Gu Liuniang doesn't even know how he got out of Great Thunderclap Temple.
She stood on the street, holding the document bag in her arms like a treasure.
Gu Liuniang Now I understand why those people seemed to be intoxicated by Blissful Incense.
Great Thunderclap Temple's Buddhism is intoxicating.
