Looking at the endless stream of pilgrims, watching them pour a lot of incense money into the merit box, Luo Weishu was still a little worried about this fifteen-year-old little monk.

Although he was very intelligent, the twenty-eight laymen ......

In the hall, there are indeed many lay people dressed in monk's robes but with hair doing simple rituals for good men and women.

Or consecration, chanting, and giving of charms and red cloths.

Luo Weishu asked in a low voice: "All these things are done by laymen?"

Jueming's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "My lord...... Hehe, isn't Jueming too busy...... Naturally, it all depends on the help of the laymen. ”

"Oh......"

Luo Weishu smiled and didn't delve into it.

"By the way, little master, do these laymen live on the incense money in the temple for their expenses in the temple?"

Luo Weishu stayed in the Daxiong Treasure Hall for half a pillar of incense, and found that more than 300 people put incense money into the five merit boxes, some of them were silver, and some were even gold ingots, all of them were very generous.

A rough estimate shows that there are 100 taels of gold and silver.

In addition to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there are three large Buddha halls, thirteen golden Buddhas, plus the original eighteen Buddha statues, each of which has a merit box in front of it.

In the past three months, more than 2,000 pilgrims have been worshipping every day, and some people have to come once every three to five days, and every time they come, they have to offer incense money.

Even if one person gives five pieces of silver, there are at least a thousand taels a day. What's more, Luo Weishu just found out that there were also pilgrims who didn't have a lot of money, so they casually put a tael of gold into the merit box, and each merit box was put away.

One thousand taels of gold and silver per day is already a very conservative estimate.

That's a lot of numbers.

That's why Luo Weishu asked about the living expenses of the twenty-eight laymen.

Jueming shook his head and whispered: "No, they all bring their own dry food, and some of the resident laymen live in the apse, cook their own food, and by the way, they also cook Jueming's." ”

The voice was lowered: "My lord, don't tell the abbot about this!"

Luo Weishu wondered: a thousand taels of silver a day, and thirty thousand taels in a month. Of course, it may also be fifty or sixty thousand taels.

With such a huge income, he really can't manage it as a little monk.

Of the twenty-eight laymen, some were resident, some were temporary, and some were not dwelling.

Are they really pre-Buddha believers, dedicated to the Buddha, full of piety?

Jueming then added: "But it doesn't matter if the abbot knows, Jueming's living expenses, Jueming will make the account room settle clearly, Jueming is just afraid of washing dishes and being lazy, and he will not take advantage of the laymen." ”

"Accounts?"

Luo Weishu really didn't expect that the position of Mr. Bookkeeper was also set up in the North Temple.

So he smiled and said to Jueming, "Can you take me to meet your accounting housekeeper?"

"Oh, my lord, that's unspeakable!"

lowered his voice: "If the master finds out, I will be kicked out of the North Temple." This account is not Jueming's, but the North Temple's, the Bodhisattva's. ”

"Oooh oh ......"

Luo Weishu casually agreed, but his eyes were fixed on the mouth of the Buddha statue.

......

"My lord, I think the mouths of those Buddha statues are a little weird......"

Zhao Shun and Luo Weishu whispered before, and said: "Some Buddha statues have extremely red lips, and the lipstick, red eyes like dangerous blood, look crazy, will it have anything to do with the disappearance of the girl......"

......

"By the way, little master, are these Buddha statues solid?"

Jue Ming was taken aback and said, "Shouldn't it...... If it is solid, 20,000 gold ingots will not be able to cast thirteen Buddha statues. ”

"Should ......"

Luo Weishu turned his head to look at Jueming and asked, "Could it be that when the golden body of the Buddha and Bodhisattva was cast, it was not supervised by the little master?"

Jueming smiled bitterly: "I'm in prison, but Jueming is a mortal, and he always has to sleep at night." ”

"Oh......"

Luo Weishu said nonchalantly: "Could it be that the casting masters don't sleep at night?"

Jueming nodded and said, "Yes, many Buddha statues are cast at night, just like this Maitreya Buddha, which took three nights to cast." However, before the golden body was cast, it was covered with red cloth, and except for the master of casting, ordinary people could not peek at it casually, including Jueming. However, Jueming guessed that the Buddha statue should be hollow, and if it was solid, it was estimated that 100,000 gold ingots might not be able to cast such a tall golden body......"

When he turned around, he found that Luo Weishu was staring at the mouth of the Maitreya Buddha statue, and did not listen carefully to what he was saying.

I couldn't help but stare at the mouth of the Buddha statue, and felt that the lips were extremely red.

The layman who was handing out talismans and red cloths to good men and women saw Jueming, hurriedly got up and shouted, "Little master." ”

Following Luo Weishu's gaze, he also found that Maitreya Buddha's mouth was extremely red and weird.

So he stopped what he was doing, rushed ahead of the pilgrims who were waiting in line to bow down, and bowed down first.

Holding three pillars of high incense, three bows and nine knocks, chanting words.

Luo Weishu and Jueming looked at Maitreya Buddha's mouth again, and it was normal.

Na Luo Weishu unconsciously glanced at the layman, although there was no beard on his face, and there was not even a trace of stubble, but he could judge from the Adam's apple and voice that this was a man.

The age should be around fifty years old.

There are also two Buddha statues next to it, and there are also two laymen, but they are women.

Luo Weishu took out two taels of silver, put them in the merit box, and then bowed to Maitreya Buddha.

His current identity is a celestial celestial star official, and he is at the same level as all the Buddhas, so there is no need to kneel.

When I looked up, I saw the smiling face of Maitreya Buddha, which was extremely weird.

The layman watched Luo Weishuzhi give the incense money, but he didn't bow down, and he was very puzzled.

However, seeing that Luo Weishu came with Jueming, he still took the initiative to hand over a talisman and a lock of red cloth.

"Donor, at this time, the peace charm of the North Temple, bless you with peace and all the best in your life, avoid illness for thousands of miles, and never be riddled with disasters; this is a good luck scarf, bless you with happy love, happy marriage, family harmony, husband and wife never blush, father and son will always have one heart; career soaring, soaring prosperity, children and grandchildren sit in the court, generation after generation of high-ranking officials......"

Sure enough, it was a man's voice, and the auspicious words were endless, and the words were full of joy, which was worthy of the incense money.

Luo Weishuwei nodded slightly, took the red cloth of the talisman, and smiled unconsciously after turning around.

Jue Ming didn't know what to do, so he quickly followed, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you laughing?"

Luo Weishu was cold for a moment and said, "This peace charm and fortune scarf are actually quite effective......

Thinking of Yuan Manqi in his heart, he smiled again.

Later, I turned around a few halls, but I didn't find anything strange about the Buddha statue.

At this time, Zhao Shunyou shuttled to his side, and whispered in Luo Weishu's ear: "My lord, the golden body of the Fuxian Bodhisattva over there can actually speak!"

Luo Weishu frowned and asked, "Can you speak?"

Zhao Shun closed his mouth and nodded without dropping: "I heard it, the pilgrims will answer all their questions, and they are still smart......"

Jueming on the side, but with a satisfied smile.

"My lord, this is the secret of the exuberant incense of this temple!"
