Chapter 2 The First Incense

"Female benefactor, please note that the first step is to burn incense, and then when the sandalwood is burning, you will silently recite your prayer or wish in your heart, and then shake the stick holder in your hand after meditating, and finally hand over the Buddha stick that has been shaken out to me, and I will unsign it for you, this order must not be messed up, understand?" Aoyama patiently explained to Mariko Shinoda.

"Eh, master, why do you have to follow this order?" asked Mariko Shinoda with some confusion.

"Because it's very accurate. Aoyama pretended to be unpredictable, but in fact, this was what the system prompted him just now, saying that after the pilgrim did this, he would be able to know the specific content of the pilgrim's wish.

Although she didn't know how to do it, Mariko Shinoda still did what Kosuke Aoyama requested, so when Mariko Shinoda shook the stick, a system prompt came to Aoyama's mind again: "Congratulations to the monk Kosuke Aoyama for completing the task "The First Pilgrim" and obtaining the reward exercise "Buddhist Calculation and Arithmetic". ”

Now that he has obtained the exercises, Aoyama chose to "learn" without hesitation, and as his mind rose, Aoyama found that he had mastered this miraculous "Buddhist Calculation Technique", which could deduce what had happened, but the problem was that it could only be used ten times a day.

Just when Aoyama was immersed in the magic of "Buddhist Arithmetic", the system sent a prompt again: "The side quest "Mariko's Ring" appears, the task content: Help Mariko Shinoda find the lost ring. ”

Seeing this task, and then thinking of the "Buddhist Calculation Arithmetic" he had just learned, Aoyama suddenly increased his confidence, and took the task without hesitation, at this time Shinoda Mariko also walked over with a Buddha stick, frowned and asked: "Master, what is written on this Buddha stick, why can't I understand a word." ”

Qingshan casually explained: "This is written in Buddhist Sanskrit, so it's normal for you to not understand the female benefactor." Then, Qingshan pretended to look at the Buddha sign a few times, and casually pretended to be unfathomable: "Female benefactor, you have lost something beloved, right?"

"Master, how do you know?" asked Mariko Shinoda in shock, because since she entered the temple, she and Ohori had never mentioned anything about her missing things, why did this monk in front of her know?

Qingshan pointed to the Buddha sign in his hand and said, "It was said in the sign." ”

Although Mariko Shinoda still felt incredible, she still accepted this explanation, and she really wanted to find this ring, so she hurriedly said: "Then master, can you help me see where this ring was lost?" Although this ring is not valuable, it is a relic left to me by my grandmother before she left, and I must find it. In a hurry, she unconsciously clenched Qingshan's hands.

Feeling the white and delicate little hands of Marizi, Qingshan couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, but he still bit the tip of his tongue, forced his mind to be clear, and then used the "Buddhist Calculation Arithmetic", and then quickly got the answer, so he continued to pretend to be a god stick and said: "According to the explanation in the signature, your ring should be at the intersection of civil engineering at this moment, I wonder if the female benefactor has the habit of raising flowers?"

"Raising flowers?" Being reminded by Qingshan, Mariko suddenly realized: "Ah, I remembered, the day before yesterday when I changed the soil for flowers, I took off the ring, could it be, is it in a flower pot?"

An hour later, Mariko Shinoda ran back happily, and thanked Aoyama while showing the jade ring on her index finger: "Master, you are so godly, when I went back, I found that it was indeed me who mixed the ring in the soil of the flower pot, and I said that no matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find it." ”

Qingshan shook his head solemnly and said: "Female benefactor, you are wrong, the god is not me, but the Bodhisattva, since your wish has been fulfilled, then go and burn a vow incense for the Bodhisattva." ”

"Oh, yes, if you want to make a vow to the Bodhisattva, then I'll go. With that, Mariko ran to the main hall and sincerely burned incense and made a vow.

At the moment when she lit this votive incense, Qingshan received a series of system prompts: "

Congratulations to the monk Kosuke Aoyama for completing the quest "Mariko's Ring", getting a reward for the quest and opening the Incense Shop.

Congratulations to the monk Kosuke Aoyama for completing the quest "The First Incense" and obtaining the quest reward Vegetarian Recipe Somen Noodles.

Added the new task "First Consumption", the task content: purchase any item in the incense mall. ”

This series of hints made Qingshan a little confused, but soon he sorted out the clue, it turned out that completing this kind of side quest issued by the pilgrim can get the incense value, and the incense value can be used to buy props and exercises in the incense mall, Aoyama simply checked it, and found that there are really a lot of good things in the mall, from magic weapons to exercises to charms, it can be said that there is everything, the only problem is that he only has a pitiful little incense value in his hand, so he can't help but secretly decide that he must complete as many tasks as possible after the pilgrims make wishes in the future。 In the mall, Aoyama also saw the vegetarian recipe he had just gotten, and it didn't seem to be a very good thing from the fact that it was only worth ten incense points, and Aoyama was still a meatless guy, and he would never eat such a thing as somen noodles, but it wasn't until much later that he realized how much of an effect this recipe had.

Just when Aoyama was thinking about the mall, Mariko Shinoda suddenly walked over and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, Master Aoyama, I, I'm very poor now, so I can only take out 10,000 incense money, is this okay?" (Note, this is 10,000 yen, which is more than 600 yuan.) οΌ‰

Aoyama knew that Mariko, who was floating alone in Tokyo at the moment and occasionally had to rely on family funding, should not have much money, so he said very generously: "As long as you have agreed with the Bodhisattva when you make a wish, the specific amount of incense money when you make a wish, then you can do it at will, one yuan, one hundred million yuan." ”

"Then thank you, Master Aoyama, but don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help Kohoji Temple promote it, and the Bodhisattva here is really good!" With that, Mariko put a 10,000 yen into the merit box, and then walked out with a light salute.
