Chapter 6

The shadow puppetry preaching in the countryside was a great success, and there have been many people coming to the temple these days.

Although they came here to find out when the shadow puppet show will be available again…

It can be considered a different kind of success. The fame has already started, and the villages with a radius of 500 miles know it. Do you worry about not burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the future?

[Congratulations to the host, you have achieved unexpected gains in preaching in the countryside, and the reputation value has reached 20(the shadow puppet show at Qingquan Temple in Lingwu Mountain is really beautiful) and youhave been rewarded with [rough Buddhist altar x1], [merit money box x1]]

[Item Name: Rough Buddhist Altar (rough worship table, made of wooden boards)

Attribute: There is a certain chance that the offering will get an unexpected gain buff

Condition: Prestige reaches 20]

[Item Name: Merit Cash Box (Rough Incense Cash box, made of wooden boards)

Attribute: No one can take the money except the abbot, and I will guard the small money in the temple.

Lin Zhao took out these two items and put them in a suitable place. It is good to put the offering table in front of the statue of Maitreya Buddha and the merit box next to it.

He clapped his hands, looked around the Palace of Heavenly Kings, well, now the Caotai team is pretty good.

At this time, Bu Er led a pilgrim in a satin gown.

This is the first person to wear silk and satin welcomed by Qingquan Temple.

He wears a square scarf on his head, walks calmly, and has a kind smile on his rich and fair face.

Seeing Lin Zhao, he bent down and made a bow, raised his face, his eyes were full of joy, as if Lin Zhao was his long-lost old friend.

“You are the new abbot in the temple, right? I feel happy from the bottom of my heart when I see you. You can only develop a peaceful demeanor when you are always with the Buddha!”

Lin Zhao smiled.

“No wonder the folks are looking forward to your revival of the temple. Qingquan Temple was also a large temple with great incense in the previous dynasty, but it was a pity that it suffered a war… However, I believe that with you, the temple will definitely be able to repeat its glory!”

He said the endless praise made Buer look sideways.

Lin Zhao observed his mannerisms, and with such a clever tongue, he should be a businessman.

“You are too much, the prosperity of the temple is inseparable from the support of the villagers.” Lin Zhao also said the official scene.

He still doesn’t dislike such a person with seven apertures and exquisite hearts. He doesn’t need to waste his words, and the other party can set off the atmosphere very well.

“That’s what you’re talking about. I don’t have much wealth in my lower body, but I have a lot of money. Be careful,”

he said with a modest smile, took out a purse from his sleeve, and threw it into the merit box next to him.

Make a heavy and crisp “boom”!

“I hope our temples in Lingwu Mountain will become more and more prosperous and famous, and more pilgrims will come to worship.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the system popped up a reminder.

[DingHarvest incense money 100 silver]

Lin Zhao smiled and nodded at him kindly, with an indifferent attitude that is beyond dust.

The shot is really generous, but he dont know why?

Such a rich person would go to the ruined temple in the mountains to say good things and give them a lot of money. No one would believe them if they said they were doing good deeds.

As predicted.

“A few days ago, my son was naughty and offended the abbot. I’m really sorry. It coincides with my mother’s 60th birthday. I heard that the shadow puppet show is very exciting. I’m very curious. I wonder if I can invite you to the house?”

It turned out that he was the father of the young master. At that time, he heard from the villagers that the landlord had donated a Yuanwailang, and he was quite talkative with the county magistrate, so no one would dare to offend him easily.

The big landlord Zhou Yuanwai has always adhered to a principle of dealing with things – harmony makes money.

Try to avoid conflicts if you can’t afford it, so even if your family is big and your career is big, you will never be arrogant. This is also the reason why he is favored by the county magistrate.

Only the youngest son was spoiled by the old lady at home…

“Please forgive me. The shadow puppet show is for preaching in the countryside, not a show.” Regardless of whether he is a county magistrate or a member, they are not a real shadow play troupe. Please go ahead.

Hearing this, Yuanwai Zhou was somewhat unhappy.

After all, he was a big landlord, and he donated an official. Except for the old lady in the county seat, no one would be so disrespectful after he showed his kindness and gave him a big gift.

No matter how extraordinary the new abbot is, there is only a wild temple in the mountains behind him.

It was uncomfortable to be rejected, but he didn’t make a fuss.

Sullenly, he was sent out the door, with Zhou Yuanwai carrying a basket in his hand, which was Lin Zhao’s return gift.

He gave him some radishes and Chinese cabbage, and Shantong’s new Yunpian Cake.

Zhou Yuanwai felt even more unhappy when he saw it, and exchanged these things for one hundred taels.

Rao is his family’s big business, and it hurts a little to give such a large amount of money for nothing.

The shadow puppet show has not been invited yet, and he don’t know when the next time they will go to the countryside to preach.

Back home, the son has to quarrel with the old lady, and the old lady has to piss him off… Sigh! Another lawsuit.

Member Zhou felt a headache just thinking about it, and walked home while shaking his head and sighing.

Sure enough, when he got home, the younger son got the answer of shaking his head, and immediately rolled on the ground, crying and howling.

When the old lady in the back room heard the movement, she hurried out to pick up her grandson, and yelled at her son.

Seeing that the master still had a basket in his hand, the clever servants stepped forward to pick it up, sent the vegetables to the back kitchen, and Yunpian Cake took a plate and brought them to the hall.

After scolding her son, Mrs. Zhou felt dry mouth and breathless, so she hugged her grandson and sat back in the main room.

With a slanted eye, she glanced at the Yunpian Cake beside her, and casually squeezed a piece.

As soon as the tip of the tongue tasted it, the eyes lit up. After eating a piece, she felt that she hadn’t tasted it yet, so she couldn’t wait to pick up another piece.

Piece after piece… to the bottom of the plate.

Zhou Yuanwai thought of his mother’s recent physical condition, and couldn’t help admonishing her.

“Mom, didn’t the doctor tell you to eat lightly recently? You should eat less of these high-fat and high-sugar foods, and you will have dinner soon.”

Mrs. Zhou’s appetite has not been very good recently, and it is rare that she wants to eat. Blocking him, she glared at him angrily and said viciously.

“As an old lady, I need to eat something, and you still care about it! I just scolded you for being uncomfortable, and you want to starve me to death!”

Zhou Yuanwai wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling regretful in his heart.

His old lady has a very bad temper recently, so why talk so much.

The dinner was served quickly, and Mrs. Zhou thought she had lost her appetite after eating a plate of Yunpian Cake.

Unexpectedly, when she saw the plate of Chinese cabbage and radish and beef brisket soup, her mouth watered and she ate two more bowls of rice.

The Zhou family was shocked.

Fearing that the old lady would suffer from overeating, everyone watched closely and called for a doctor at any time.

But until she fell asleep, the old lady looked quite comfortable.

When she woke up early the next morning, she passed the stool of more than ten days.

The whole person is refreshed! The repeated sores under the tongue even disappeared.

The old lady has never felt so refreshed this morning.

Thinking of yesterday’s cabbage and radish, she still wanted to eat it, so she went to the kitchen to look.

The last two big white radishes lying in the vegetable basket, the old lady recognized them at a glance.

She can’t help but mutter that they are both radish and cabbage. Why do these two look so different?

Such a delicious radish will be gone after another meal. The old lady is reluctant to ask where it came from?

The servant was very impressed with this radish, it looked different from others, and told the old lady that the master brought it back.

Mrs. Zhou went to find her son.

Zhou Yuanwai was quite surprised after hearing the experience of the old lady.

That basket was brought back from Qingquan Temple, could it be that the incense made it look extraordinary?

Healed my old lady’s stool and tongue sores, and even calmed down, so his one hundred taels of silver were not in vain.

Zhou Yuanwai felt that he had made a good fortune, so he told the old lady all the ins and outs.

After the old lady heard about it, she even said that she was going to pay homage to Qingquan Temple.

When she went here, the reputation of Qingquan Temple was completely resounded throughout the ten miles and eight villages, and even spread to the county town, even the county magistrate had heard of it.

The incense of Qingquan Temple became vigorous.

What annoyed Lin Zhao was that when the pilgrims left, they wanted to take a few cabbages and radishes from the backyard, and there were not enough radishes for them to grow.

[Congratulations to the host, the incense has reached 30, the reputation has reached 20, and the unlocking conditions of the stone Buddha statue have been met. Do you want to buy it?]

Pilgrims have said several times that the statue needs to be repaired. Although Lin Zhao felt distressed, he clicked [Yes].

[Congratulations on spending 50 silver to unlock the stone statue of Maitreya Buddha.]

The AI engineering team was dispatched again, and the statues in the Temple of Heavenly Kings were immediately upgraded into exquisite stone Buddha statues.

Immediately afterwards, the system popped up two task boxes one after another.

[There are too many people and too many mouths, it is urgent to increase production, upgrade a piece of farmland to level two!

Conditions: Incense burn reaches 30]

[The monks in the temple want to change their taste, so arrange someone to plant some potatoes and cucumbers!

Condition: farmland upgraded to level two]

Seeing these two tasks, Lin Zhao couldn’t help complaining.

This is the largest number of people in the temple. There are only four people in the whole temple plus the scholars. It is all to satisfy the pilgrims!

Its not that the monk wants to change the taste, its the pilgrim who said, It would be great if I could order more vegetables other than cabbage and radish.

For thesake of incense value, the system really does whatever it takes to please the pilgrim, and spares no effort to squeeze him.

After spending 1 tael of silver to upgrade the farmland, Lin Zhao completed the task and got two packs of seeds [potato x1] and [cucumber x1].

Sow the seeds into the ground, the system prompts that the task is completed, and get [fertilizer x1].

[Item Name: Fertilizer (it seems to be precious from some kind of beast? What about feces)

Attributes: Increase yield, reduce crop growth time, and improve quality.

Condition: Complete the task of sowing secondary farmland.

Lin Zhao applied chemical fertilizers on the ground, washed his hands, and opened the main interface of the system.

[Temple: Qingquan Temple, level 1 (a dilapidated wild temple)

Money: 99 silver 500 copper

Incense: 100 (continuous flow)

Reputation: 60 (Vegetables from Qingquan Temple in Lingwu Mountain are really fragrant)

Temple construction: [Unlock farmland level 2 ]

Mission achievement: [2 monks reached], [accumulatively recruited 50 pilgrims]]

It took 50 taels of silver to upgrade the Buddha statue, and another tael of silver to upgrade the farmland.

Zhou Yuanwai put in 100 taels of silver in the merit box, and other pilgrims put in a total of 500 copper coins.

Member Zhou is quite generous, let’s give him a gift during the Obon Festival.
