Zhitong had already even spoken out to his junior brother, and Huineng knew that this was something that could not be changed, so he had to respectfully call Long Xiao Uncle Shi. Long Xiao was happy, just now he was called Huineng Shizu, and in a blink of an eye, he became the uncle of Huineng's abbot. Long Xiao couldn't help but sigh, this life is really impermanent, a few days ago, he was called Long Wu Shizu, and in a blink of an eye, Long Wu became his nephew, Long Xiao also felt a little ridiculous after feeling unbelievable.

The news that Long Xiao became the twentieth patriarch of the Senate immediately spread throughout the entire Qinglong Temple, and they were all very surprised, and they all lamented that they had not had a good relationship with Long Xiao before, and they missed a good opportunity to befriend the elders. The first one to be afraid was Yuan Xin, the vice president of the Damo Academy, who once asked Long Xiao for a bribe of 200 taels of silver, but because he didn't succeed, he found an opportunity to demote Long Xiao to the dining room. Yuan Xin knew that any elder in the Senate had the right to remove a dean, let alone a vice president.

Yuanxin began to think of a way, first inquired, where Long Xiao lived, in the past, Long Xiao was in the dining room, but now that he has become a senator, it is impossible to live there, and when he inquired, he really moved into the senate. Yuanxin inquired about the residence, and felt that it was easy to do, so he chose a night, took 1000 taels of silver tickets and secretly entered Long Xiao's bedroom, and when he saw Long Xiao drinking tea in the room, he knelt down with a plop.

Yuanxin: "Uncle Shi, spare your life, the little one is guilty, please let the villain go." Long Xiao is a flurry, good and dignified, how did Yuanxin beg for mercy with himself, but he didn't do anything. Long Xiao: "Yuanxin, you get up, what's going on", Yuanxin raised his head and took out the 1,000 taels of silver tickets in his arms: "Uncle Shi, this is the filial piety of the disciple, please accept it." Long Xiao was even more stunned: "Yuanxin, what are you doing, I haven't done anything, why are you?" ”。 Yuan Xin saw that Long Xiao refused to accept it, and the sweat of anxiety came down.

Yuanxin: "Uncle Shi's, that is, your old man didn't do anything, I came to pay you filial piety, if your old man did something, my little life will be over, your old man will be merciful, accept the silver ticket, otherwise, I will die in front of you." Long Xiao is a pleasure, it seems that he can't be exchanged for courtesy. Long Xiao: "Okay, I'll take the head office, you get up and talk", Yuan Xin saw that Long Xiao accepted his 1,000 taels of silver tickets, so he stood up happily: "Uncle Shi, you said, what you ask me to do, I will do it?" ”。

Long Xiao: "I don't tell you to do anything, but I'll just ask you one thing, at the beginning, did you get bad and let me go to the dining room?" ”。 When Yuan Xin heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat: "Uncle Shi, it was a moment of confusion when I was young. There is one thing you don't know, we were bribed in the temple, and the abbot's uncle also acquiesced, saying that this is a way to raise the temple, and the monks are also people, so they have to eat, otherwise, the abbot will not go to your house to turn 500 taels of silver, this is the practice of Qinglong Temple, even the Senate is also acquiesced", Long Xiao didn't understand: "Yuanxin, since even the Senate is acquiescing, then what are you afraid of, you don't want much, just for the matter of 200 taels of silver."

At this time, Yuan Xin saw that Long Xiao really didn't understand, so he explained to Long Xiao: "Although the Senate acquiesces, there is a supreme rule, that is, you are not allowed to disobey the elders, I can think of it, you will become the elder of the Zhizi generation overnight, I knew it was so, not to mention asking for 200 taels from your family, even if I gave you 200 taels." Long Xiao understood, it seems that Qinglong Temple still has rules, although monks are encouraged to accept bribes, but the rules of seniority are still required, this is the way of governing the temple in Qinglong Temple.

Long Xiao felt that it would be boring to embarrass Yuanxin again: "Yuanxin, okay, that's it, I also accepted your 1,000 taels of silver tickets, what should you do in the future, just do it." The center of the circle walked away happily. As soon as Yuanxin left, Yuanjie, the dean of the Discipline Academy, came in, and Yuanjie knelt down for Long Xiao when he entered the door, and he didn't speak, Long Xiao was strange: "Yuanjie, what are you doing, kneel down when you enter the door, I didn't mess with you, right?" ”。 Yuanjie raised his head: "Master, have you forgiven me?" Long Xiao was blinded, where is this, it was the center of the circle at the beginning, and now it is the Yuan Yuan Ring, who is he provoking and who is provoking?

Long Xiao: "Yuanjie got up and spoke", Yuanjie stood up: "Master, a few days ago, I listened to other people's slander, beat you 20 boards, and punished you for three months to carry water, it's me who is wrong, it's my ears that are soft, and I don't have much money to honor you, this is my savings over the years, you must accept it." Long Xiao was happy, it seems that the Discipline Academy is a Qingshui Yamen, and a dean only took out 100 taels of silver, which is not as generous as a vice president of the Dharma Academy. You must know that there are four vice presidents of the Damo Academy, and Yuanxin is only one of them, and the shot is 1,000 taels.

Long Xiao wanted to help Yuanjie, and asked: "Yuanjie, what do you say that you are also a dean, why are you so cold, give me a gift, just take 100 taels of silver, you are not ashamed, I feel guilty." Yuanjie is a cold sweat, and he said in his heart: It seems that he can't pass the test, and his young ancestor seems to like silver, but he only has these 100 taels, what should I do. Yuanjie couldn't think of a way after thinking for a while, so he had to let it go.

Yuan Jie: "Master, do you know, the Discipline Institute is the executive department, as long as the abbot is below, all the temple rules violated by the people must be punished by the Discipline Academy, so no one has sent us silver, besides, someone has sent, we don't dare to ask for it, the temple rules of Qinglong Temple, as long as the monks of the Discipline Institute cover up the bad guys, at least 100 killing sticks, expelled from Qinglong Temple; The heavier is the rod; We dare there, so our Discipline Institute is a Qingshui Yamen, and I ask for forgiveness from our ancestors."

As soon as Long Xiao heard it, there was a Yuan Ring's behavior praised, so he took out 500 taels of silver tickets and handed it to the Yuan Ring, the Yuan Ring was stupid at first glance, not only did the ancestor not ask for his own 100 taels of silver, but also pasted 500 taels to himself, this sun came out of the west? Yuanhuan looked at Long Xiao stupidly, not daring to take it. Long Xiao: "Yuanjie, you admit that I am an elder, right?" Yuanjie nodded quickly, Long Xiao: "That's okay, the patriarch of Qinglong Temple has the right to deal with you, the dean, you take it quickly, otherwise, I will be angry."

As soon as Yuanjie heard it, he knew that Long Xiao was sponsoring himself, and when he saw that he was impartial in enforcing the law and was a Qingshui Yamen, he rewarded himself with silver. The round ring was excited for a while, and he took the silver ticket tremblingly and put it in his pocket. Since then, Yuanjie not only said good things about Long Xiao when he met people, but also implemented the temple rules more rigorously, and moved Long Xiao out at every turn, once the monk was not convinced, Yuanjie said that it was said by the ancestor Zhixiao, and the people in the temple did not dare to refute it. That's an afterword.

Yuanjie took 500 taels of silver tickets and left in a state of anxiety, Long Xiao just wanted to take a break, Tongshan from the dining room came over, and kowtowed to Long Xiao when he entered the door: "Taishizu, hello, have you eaten?" Long Xiao was very happy when he saw Tongshan coming, this was his best friend in the dining room. Long Xiao: "Tongshan, why are you here, can't you also find me something?" When Tongshan heard this, his face turned red: "Taishizu, you are so powerful, as soon as I come, you will know, it seems that you are really powerful, no wonder, you are younger than me and sit as a patriarch."

Long Xiao just smiled: "Tongshan, then tell me, what's the matter?" Tongshan: "Taishizu, I want to be an official, can you let me be a fire master, but I said okay, I don't have money to honor you now, wait until I have money." Long Xiao laughed loudly: "Hehe, you still speak happily, not like the previous ones, okay, I'll talk to Yuankuan, and let you be a fireman, but I said okay, if you embezzle the money in the temple in the future, I can ask Yuanjie to check your accounts, and be careful that your legs are broken." Tongshan is a burst of cold, thinking: I haven't done it yet, so I put a tight spell on myself, it seems that this fireman should be careful when he does it.
