Chapter 141： Is it too hypocritical?

Chapter 141 Is it too hypocritical?

Taking advantage of the time when the Taoist priests were arranging ritual utensils in the mourning hall, Chu Wenbi, together with Liu Yun, Chu Nanzhi and his mother and daughter, led the temple master Tanshan and the two Taoist priests Tan Yuan and Tan Qing to the side hall to rest.

Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife were surprised and delighted at the uninvited visit of the master of the Nanhua temple. With such a strong reputation, doing this ceremony for the deceased brother will not only make the brother feel at ease, but also let him go. a wish.

Liu Yun personally brought tea to several Taoist priests, and said sincerely: "I am sorry to trouble all Taoist priests for this trip, I am really sorry, if there is any order for the Taoist priests in the next few days, I will follow orders."

"The benefactor does not need to be formal, the poor Taoist is just a monk, and he came here just to get rid of this fate."

Tanshan Road Chief took a sip of tea slowly, and replied calmly.

Chu Nanzhi remembered that Lin Jinshu said that the temple master and the two priests were forced to travel down the mountain by several princesses, but he didn't expect to come back so coincidentally, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "I heard that everyone The Taoist priest has been wandering outside, don't know when he will return?"

"In the past few years, I did travel with my two junior brothers. In fact, it was just for the sake of peace. In fact, our senior brothers returned to Nanhua Mountain last year, and we have been living in seclusion at the foot of the mountain, in order not to be disturbed by others."

At this point, Taoist Priest Tanshan couldn't help but sighed softly: "It's also my Taoism's misfortune. A Taoist temple with hundreds of years was almost destroyed in the hands of the poor Taoist. A few days ago, Princess Shu sent people to look for the whereabouts of the poor Taoist. After the disciple went down the mountain to report, Pindao learned that it was the female benefactor who cleaned up the house for Guanzhong, and he was really grateful."

"The Taoist priest is serious."

Chu Nanzhi replied respectfully and politely: "My family is also entrusted by others, and I can't bear to see people being wronged, that's why I boldly offended Guiguan. Please forgive me."

"This is all Tanhua's own fault, causing trouble, and the female benefactor does not need to blame herself."

Mentioning the younger brother Tan Hua, Taoist Tan Shan's expression gradually turned solemn, and his voice also became more excited: "He seems to have forgotten the original intention of a cultivator all these years, helping the evildoers, amassing money for the third eldest princess, and destroying my century-old Qing Dynasty. Yu Yu, a few days ago Princess Shu found nearly 50,000 taels of private money in the residence of the Third Princess, which is really shocking."

Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi was shocked, as expected, Taoist Tanhua's way of earning money was not from the Han family alone, and sighed: "As far as I know, the three eldest princesses are getting rich every day. Living in seclusion in the noble temple, I have long left the world, and I have sent people from the palace to welcome me several times, but they have all been politely rejected, I don't know why I collected so much money for it?"

"This, Pindao will not know."

Tanshan Daoist pursed his lips and smiled wryly, even if he could detect some eyebrows in the twists and turns, as a practitioner of Taoism, it was inconvenient to say too much.

Slowly put down the tea bowl, he raised his eyes slightly to Chu Wenbi, and asked in a soft voice, "I wonder if Brother Ling's cemetery has been chosen?"

Chu Wenbi and Liu Yun looked at each other in dismay, then shook their heads blankly: "The time is short, so I never prepared for it."

"Just now, Pindao heard that the benefactor is only planning to stay for three days. It is indeed a bit hasty. Brother Ling is an elder in the family, and the place of burial should not be hasty."

Tanshan Daoist narrowed his eyes half-closed and glanced lightly at Chu Nanzhi, nodded and said with a smile: "The poor Taoist sees that the female benefactor looks noble, she is a blessed person, and she will be a dragon and phoenix in the future. My junior brother Tan Yuan is very good at Fengshui Divination and physiognomy, let him set the treasure land first today."

After finishing speaking, he motioned to Daoist Tan Yuan who was beside him.

Taoist Priest Tan Yuan got up immediately: "Please also ask the benefactor to lead the way."

"There is a Taoist priest."

After hearing the words of the temple master, Chu Wenbi was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a while, and while leading Taoist Tan Yuan out, he secretly rejoiced: It seems that the Chu family is expected to prosper.

So I pay more attention to the place where my brother is buried.

While several people were talking, the Taoist priests outside had arranged the dharma field, and came to invite the temple master and Taoist priest Tan Qing to take charge.

Watching the two go to the mourning hall, Liu Yun always felt uneasy, and whispered to Chu Nanzhi, "Da Zhi, how do you arrange a few Taoist priests and Taoist priests, and what about the money to reward the gods?" Give?"

Even before Nanhua Temple was included in the imperial palace, it rarely did things for ordinary people.

Today they came here in such a grand manner, apart from being pleasantly surprised, people were really overwhelmed.

Chu Nanzhi thought for a while, and replied seriously: "Mother, don't worry about it, the Taoist priests are all high-ranking people, and they are not in the world. If it was for money, they would have gone to Qi's house, why should they condescend to come here for us?" My family accepts this hard work, you just need to tell your aunts and aunts to prepare more exquisitely the fasting meals for the priests in the past few days. Give it, so everyone can be more comfortable."

Paused, she added after deliberation: "If the mother still feels uneasy, wait until the family is more prosperous in the future, and then go to the temple to donate more incense money."

Hearing her daughter's words, Liu Yun became transparent, but her own knowledge was shallow and rough, so she hurriedly went out and told Su Shi to prepare a late-night fast meal for the priests.

In another side room, Lin Jinxiao and Wei Ziqing were in full swing for writing the elegiac couplet.

Chu Nanzhi just wanted to go over to see the situation, but was dragged in by the quadruplets. Dabao Lin Ruiwen dragged her by the corner of her filial piety clothes, walked to Lin Jinxiao, and asked deliberately: "Mother, look at me!" Father and Uncle Wei wrote a lot of elegiac couplets."

As he spoke, he picked up two volumes of transcribed scriptures from the table and handed them to her: "And these scriptures, mother, do you think Father's handwriting is better or Uncle Wei's?"

Hearing this, both of them raised their heads sweating profusely and looked closely at Chu Nanzhi.

Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao's filial piety clothes were soaked with sweat, just copying a few volumes of scriptures, the two men made it look like they were marching and fighting, and the room smelled of gunpowder.

Angrily, she brought a white handkerchief to wipe his sweat for him, and instead of commenting on the couplets and scriptures of the two grassroots, which one is better, she turned around and said: "The Taoist priests of Nanhua Temple are here. Let the priests do these things, Brother Wei has worked hard, go to the outer courtyard to have some tea and rice."

Wei Ziqing responded, stood up happily, and then carefully looked at Lin Jinxiao's transcribed scriptures and elegiac couplets on the table, and couldn't help but admire: "Brother Jinxiao really has a good literary talent, I'm willing to bow down."

"Concession."

At this time, Lin Jinxiao looked at Chu Nanzhi proudly like a child, quietly feeling her jade fingers gently sliding over his face, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Chu Nanzhi sensed that he had ulterior motives, and angrily threw the handkerchief on his face, angrily said: "You should wipe it yourself."

Lin Jinxiao was immersed in the joy of victory, startled by the handkerchief thrown over, silently watching the quadruplets chase her out together, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Am I being too hypocritical?"
