At the beginning of the Youth hour, at the entrance of Longshan Restaurant, Zhang Zhengbai sat bored on the long bench.

It was dark, but no one of the people saw it.

He was anxious.

"Brother-in-law, do you think those people will really come? It's been a while since a while, and no one of them has seen it!"

Cao Zheng slapped his wife's uncle in the back of the head and shouted: "What are you worried about? The temple said that someone would come if someone came!"

Touching the back of his head, Zhang Zheng said unhappily: "Brother-in-law, I don't think someone is coming back, but it's just like the temple said. At least tens of thousands of people will come? Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone goes home for a reunion dinner. How many people will burn incense and worship Buddha tonight!"

Cao Zheng hesitated for a moment and whispered: "This...even if you lose money, it's nothing? You can't lose much!"

Zhang Zheng said: "Don't I feel sorry for the wasted rice and grain!"

Cao Zheng shouted angrily: "I can't finish eating, can I help those poor people? What are you afraid of?"

"That's right, why didn't I expect it!"

"Otherwise, why do you think the temple dares to let us make more steamed buns? Instead of asking us to prepare more meals. Isn't it just to make a beef that will help the people if the people are not satisfied!"

"But if this is the case, why don't you just say it! At least it can make everyone feel at ease!"

"Forget it, you don't understand even after you say it. Don't sit here, hurry up and go to the back and help me count it. How much rice and flour are left in the warehouse now!"

"Well, I'll go now!"

Just as Zhang was about to go to the warehouse to count his hand, the guy standing at the door suddenly ran in and shouted: "Shopkeeper, here is here. People are here!"

When Cao Zheng heard this, he hurried out. As soon as he looked up, he saw countless lights walking towards Erlong Mountain in the distance.

No matter how dark those nights are, they are as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky!

Seeing these star-like lights, Cao Zheng shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, boil the fire and steam the steamed buns!"

At this time, Zhang Zheng didn't go to the warehouse to count it, and he quickly helped the guy make a fire and moved the steamer.

Cao Zheng walked over and said softly: "Go quickly and take out the fan!"

Zhang Zheng asked in confusion: "It's winter, why do you need a fan?"

Cao Zheng almost hit him angrily. "You fool, if you don't float the fragrance to the mountain pass, how can you lure the people over!"

"Oh, I understand. Let's find a fan now!"

Cao Zheng turned his head and shouted to a group of friends: "Call the hawking louder, louder!"

The clerk at the Longshan Restaurant had not spoken yet, but the monks at the gate of the mountain had already spoken first, under the supervision of Han Bolong.

"Incense paper candle treasure! Incense paper candle treasure! The best incense paper candle treasure!"

"If you forget to bring incense paper candle treasures, don't worry. There are incense paper candle treasures here, which are affordable and fair! If you want to buy them, come quickly!"

"Did you see it? The super-large Buddha incense. Only by using this Buddha incense to honor the Buddha can you seem sincere and grand enough!"

...

Many people planned to have a reunion dinner early, so they rushed to Erlong Mountain. But before they finished their meal, they saw that the people from their neighbors had already set off, and the people were no longer calm.

For fear that the first incense would be taken away, they were anxious and hurriedly finished eating and took their families to Erlong Mountain.

When they arrived at Erlong Mountain, many people heard the slogans of incense, paper and candle treasures. Only then did they realize that they remembered bringing their families, but they forgot to bring the incense, paper and candle treasures that respect the gods.

Many pillars of the house quickly took out some cents from their arms and shouted: "Take people and take your place quickly, I'll buy Buddha incense!"

"Go and go back quickly!"

"Well, look at the little one!" After saying that, the man held the copper coins and squeezed into the stall selling incense paper and candle treasures.

There were already hundreds of people gathered in front of the stall, but when they saw someone trying to squeeze in from behind, they immediately scolded: "What are you squeezing? Come first and then come. Don't you understand?"

"I'll beat you to death if I squeeze you again!"

"Whoever stepped on my feet? Get out of here!"

...

Seeing the noise in front of the stall, Li Zhong quickly came over with 50 monks, holding wooden sticks, and shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, all line up, line up..."

Han Bolong also shouted loudly at this time: "Don't worry, there are many incense paper and candle treasures, which are enough to satisfy everyone. Come one by one, don't squeeze it! Ten incense per penny! Ten incense per penny!"

The people in front of the stall are fine. Even if they have some quarrels, there are restrictions after all.

Li Zhong asked the monks to form a wall of five Taoists, and the people behind them lined up in an orderly manner.

The situation in front of the gate of Baozhu Temple is crazy.

If you want to grab the first incense stick, of course you must take the lead.

Many people try hard to squeeze in and drill,

More and more people gathered in front of the mountain gate, and everyone wanted to move forward, pushing the people in front of them to move forward.

At this time, Zhou Tong didn't care about letting the people line up. He desperately used wooden sticks to stop the people who wanted to go up the mountain and shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, you can go up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha after noon. You can go up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha after noon. Don't squeeze, wait patiently!"

Zhou Tong shouted and couldn't stop the people even when he shouted, so he could only shout: "Hold on, you must hold on. Never let the people rush in. Otherwise, there will be problems if so many people go up the mountain!"

Zhou Tong and 00 monks struggled to form a human wall with wooden sticks, blocking the believers desperately and preventing them from rushing up the mountain.

Fortunately, Zhou Tong and the others followed Lu Zhishen and practiced hard every day. They were all strong and had some strength. Then they guarded the mountain gate and did not let the believers rush up the mountain.

But it felt more and more difficult. Li Shi turned his head and shouted anxiously to Zhou Tong: "Brother Zhou, there are too many people coming! If this continues, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop it for long. Go up the mountain and ask the temple to think of a solution!"

Looking at the people rushing towards Erlong Mountain from all directions, there were at least tens of thousands of people, and the number of people was rushing up. Zhou Tong was startled and shouted: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain, you must hold on!"

Zhou Tong quickly came out of the monk and ran to the mountain desperately.

So many people gathered at the mountain gate, which scared Lin Chong and the others. In addition to asking Yang Zhi to continue patrolling, Lin Chong and Shi Jin both took their subordinates and were responsible for maintaining order at the mountain pass.

At the main hall of Baozhu Temple, Lu Zhishen was asking a group of old monks, including the living Buddha, for some matters.

Zhou Tong rushed in and shouted loudly: "Superior Temple!Super Temple! Not good!"

Lu Zhishen turned around unhappily and shouted, "What's wrong? What happened? Are the bandits coming, or are the officers and soldiers coming?"

Hearing Zhou Tong say no, the monks didn't know what happened and were still very worried.

Zhou Tong shouted anxiously: "No! The temple is a believer, and many believers have come down from the mountain?"

Lu Zhishen almost wanted to beat Zhou Tong, and he was so excited that he seemed to have something big. Unexpectedly, it was just a believer who came.

"What's so surprising about the believers coming! When they come, they let them wait in line. After noon, they will go up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha!"

Zhou Tong was about to cry. "There are about tens of thousands of believers coming to the foot of the mountain now, and more and more people are coming. So many people are scrambling to rush up the mountain. If they are asked to rush up the mountain, something big will happen!"

Lu Zhishen was also shocked, "What? There are tens of thousands of people coming now? How come so many people come?"

At the beginning, Lu Zhishen only expected that the people who could come would be able to make more than 10,000 yuan.

But he had no idea how high the status of the living Buddha in Qingzhou's mind is now.

If you hear that you can get the first incense stick, you will be prosperous for the whole year. Who wouldn’t want to grab such a good thing?

Except for being far away, there is no hope. The people of the counties and townships near Erlong Mountain rushed over.

When Lu Zhishen heard that there were more than 10,000 people at the foot of the mountain, and more and more people were rushing towards this side, he suddenly had a headache.

"State, think of a solution now. There are still many people coming here. If the flowers are not handled well, something big will happen!"

When Lu Zhishen heard this, he hurriedly put his Zen robe on his body. He walked out again and ordered: "The number of people going up the mountain must be limited, and all the monks must be called up to go down the mountain to maintain order."

"The temple, except for 100 people who stayed in Baozhu Temple to protect the living Buddhas, everyone else went down the mountain to guard the mountain gate. The people at the foot of the mountain were excited and all rushed to go up the mountain to burn the first incense stick. If this continues, the mountain gate will not be able to be kept sooner or later!"

Damn it!

If so many people rush up the mountain for a while, if they don’t make a good deal, something big will happen.

Once a stampede occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Living Buddha will definitely be fine at that time. I am afraid that my temple will be taken out by Qingzhou officials to quell the public’s grievances!
