Chapter 462 Ignored Problems

On April Fool's Day, April [-]st, Zhang Lan made a new decision.We plan to conduct free medical consultations directly at the acupuncture center every Friday.

During lunch, Zhang Lan made his decision at the dinner table. As a result, Qin Yongjun, Yu Lingling, and Lu Yichen next to him all looked at Zhang Lan as if they were fools.

Ever since Zhang Lan stopped attending the community hospital and the acupuncture center started treating people again, I can't say that there are too many patients every day, but there are always some.

Originally, Zhang Lan didn't care about the meal at noon, but then I thought about it, since we were all on our own, and we asked the hourly aunt to cook, why couldn't we have dinner together when they were so close? After that, Zhang Lan wouldn't let Yu Lingling and Lu Yichen go back at noon. When we got home, we had dinner directly with Zhang Lan and Qin Yongjun.

Now Zhang Lan suddenly said that he would set aside one day a week to conduct free clinics. Qin Yongjun couldn't help but said: "Zhang Lan, are you making an April Fool's Day joke?"

Seeing Zhang Lan shaking his head, Qin Yongjun laughed and said, "Are you talking beyond your imagination? You charge so much, but the same person treats people for free in the same place. Is it okay to scold me?"

Lu Yichen, who was next to him, also said: "Master's approach is not feasible. Free clinics are possible, but your approach is definitely not feasible. Someone might report it."

As soon as Zhang Lan said the words, he felt something was wrong. As soon as Qin Yongjun and Lu Yichen said what they said, they suddenly understood. After thinking about it, he said, "Pretend I didn't say it. I just didn't think carefully."

Zhang Lan's conversation changed quickly. Lu Yichen and Yu Lingling were eating their meal in silence with smiles on their faces. Qin Yongjun had no such scruples. He rolled his eyes at Zhang Lan and said, "You can think more about what you want to do in the future." Do you want to talk to someone again?"

After dinner, Zhang Lan sat on the sofa with the remote control, planning to watch TV and relax.

Qin Yongjun walked into the living room from the yard, sat next to Zhang Lan and said: "Some time ago, our two children celebrated their birthdays, and my mother asked a question. I think it makes sense. Do you think we are offering sacrifices to Bodhisattvas here in Kyoto?" stand up?"

Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, took the remote control and pressed pause, thought for a while and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really hadn't thought about it."

After looking at the environment in the living room, Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "We should find a suitable place for this. Now that we have thought of it, we must do it right."

Although Zhang Lan had arranged everything well in his hometown, the people who used to attend the incense burning ceremony on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year at home directly vacated the courtyard next to them that was originally used for treating patients after returning during the Spring Festival, so that the people after the 15th day of the Lunar New Year could stay. Go and burn incense in the yard next to you.

But here in Kyoto, Zhang Lan didn't make many arrangements.There is an Eight Immortals table in the living room, and the table behind it enshrines the seats of the gods of heaven and earth, and does not list them separately for Bodhisattvas.

If Qin Yongjun hadn't mentioned it, Zhang Lan himself wouldn't have realized that the Bodhisattva must be worshiped separately here.Now he is not as enthusiastic about earning merit as he was at first. This year, except for the Bodhisattva’s birthday on the 15th day of the second lunar month, Zhang Lan went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to worship the Bodhisattva. How could Zhang Lan go to school on time even on the [-]th day of the lunar month? Fragrant.

Qin Yongjun's reminder made Zhang Lan suddenly realize that he had become lazy again recently, and even the initial awe was gone.

The transparent panel appeared in front of him. Looking at the sect clearly displayed on it: Putuo Mountain, Zhang Lan let out a long sigh of relief.

There is nothing terrible about doing something wrong; what is terrible is going your own way without repenting.After Qin Yongjun mentioned it, Zhang Lan looked back and forth in the two courtyards and quickly determined the specific location of the offering.In order to facilitate worship, Zhang Lan chose a room next to the corridor after the courtyard wall in the middle of the two courtyards was opened, and opened another door on the courtyard wall.

Initially, Zhang Lan was worried about the impact of opening up the courtyard walls. Later, she discovered that both courtyards belonged to her. If she didn't have any objections and it didn't affect the specific architectural pattern, no one would care what changes she wanted to make.

Of course, the most important thing is that no one can report it.

After the room was prepared, the next step was to invite the Bodhisattva. Zhang Lan thought about it. What he did before was too rough. It has been two years since Kyoto started preparing for the Bodhisattva. So the statue can’t be done. Too casual.

The statues in his hometown were made of very ordinary materials. When Zhang Lan invited him home, he didn't have much money, so he just went to a nearby place where the statues were made.

We can't be so careless here in Kyoto. After Zhang Lan discussed with Qin Yongjun, Qin Yongjun wanted to spend a lot of money to hire a famous artist to carve one. However, after Zhang Lan considered it, he decided to spend the money on the material rather than the craftsmanship of the master. .

Zhang Lan himself knew a lot about the statue. If nothing else, he was a very good sculptor because he could use the Five Elements Magic. If nothing else, there was no problem at all in using the Five Elements Magic to carve a Bodhisattva statue.

And if you use magic to shape it, except that the charm may be a bit rigid, it is much better than asking someone to carve it.

After hearing Zhang Lan's idea, Qin Yongjun didn't say anything. He just asked Zhang Lan what material he planned to use for the statue and how big the statue would be.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and decided that it would be more appropriate to use jade, but Qin Yongjun had a different opinion. Jade is very good, but what color does Zhang Lan plan to carve?

Seeing that Zhang Lan was speechless, Qin Yongjun sighed and said: "I think you should just follow the normal rules. Just follow my idea and ask the master to make a brass statue. Although brass is mostly molded, but It’s still different whether it’s corrected by a master or not.”

Seeing Zhang Lan considering his suggestion, Qin Yongjun said again: "Actually, if possible, I think it would be more appropriate to go to the temple and invite one back home. I just don't know why Zhang Lan always wants to invite a new one back."

Zhang Lan thought for a while and then explained: "It's different. What you said makes sense, but I think it's better for me to do it myself. In fact, if you hadn't mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have thought of it until now. Kyoto continues to worship the Bodhisattva. I don’t know why I didn’t subconsciously think about it. Now that I think about it, I naturally have to be more dedicated.”

In the end, Zhang Lan decided to make the statue by herself, using brass as the material.Zhang Lan also planned to use silver or gold materials, but after consideration, he finally gave up the idea.

It's just a statue. The problem is that after the efficacious situation came out in the later period, the texture of brass is more reassuring, while gold and silver will inevitably attract people's attention.

After making the decision, Zhang Lan started buying raw materials.

As soon as the raw materials were purchased, Zhang Lan, who originally thought it was a lot of money, was shocked. Zhang Lan calculated that the sitting statue, which is a little over one meter tall, would require about 300 kilograms of raw materials. If it were made of brass, it really wouldn't cost much.
