Chapter 81: Buying Land

Liu Yuanshan did not tell the legend of the White Snake for the second time, although he left a lot of regretful people, but there were also many people who heard all about the entire legend of the White Snake, so they got together and began to explain it without a tail, of course, although the storyline of what Liu Yuanshan said was roughly not bad, but the taste was tens of millions of miles away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even so, there were many people who had not heard the story before.

"You may be seated!"

In the meditation room of the abbot elder Master Dukong, Liu Yuanshan, Wang Xiucai, and Li Zheng sat on the futon one by one, and Dukong looked slightly bitter on the opposite side, and said to Liu Yuanshan: "The little donor is not very old, but his sharp teeth are really terrifying. The old man really admires it. ”

This sentence praised him on the surface, but in fact, it was sarcastic that he was neither big nor small, and teased the monks in the temple.

Liu Yuanshan spread his hands and said, "I'm afraid Master Dukong doesn't know how hard it is for me to wait." Then he told him about the hardships along the way, and finally said: "Our hard work is not for the sake of your Xiaojue Temple, if we bury Master Watayuan indiscriminately, there is no harm to us." ”

At that moment, the two no longer argued and began to discuss the funeral of the monk Duyuan.

The abbot was also generous, and this time he not only agreed to return to Tallinn, but also provided him with a large vat for burial free of charge.

The next morning, the weather was a little gloomy, and it had just been sunny for a day, and there were signs of snow again.

"It's bad luck!" Liu Yuanshan complained, and then began to prepare for the funeral according to the details of the negotiation with Dukong yesterday.

First of all, one or two disciples in his life personally carried the body of the Dharma into Xiaojue Temple, and the monks in the temple took the lead in organizing a large-scale dojo, and then carried out the tank burial.

It was the first time for Liu Yuanshan to see such a thing as a tank burial, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, but after reading it, he felt a little interested.

The so-called jar burial, as the name suggests, is to use the jar as a coffin to bury the deceased. First, a large clay jar was lifted out to dry, and then the body of the monk Watayuan was carefully placed into the large jar, with his hands crossed on his knees, and his head slightly above the mouth of the jar to sit still. Then, fill the voids in the jar with charcoal, lime and yellow paper.

After the clay jar is filled, the mouth of the large jar is covered with another slightly smaller cylinder head facing down, and the outer gap is sealed with tung oil, and the whole cylinder burial is completed. The rest is just a matter of moving somewhere to store it.

It is said that three years later, there is a ceremony to open the jar, and some of the respected monks will form glazed bodies, similar to the mummies unearthed in the Egyptian pyramids.

These are not the topics that Liu Yuanshan cares about.

After the funeral of the crossing edge was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon, a few people stayed in the Xiaojue Temple to eat a meal, in the afternoon began to fall fine snow chips, and another heavy snow unexpectedly encountered.

In the meditation room provided by Xiaojue Temple, Shengsheng and a simultaneous Chao Lizheng, Liu Yuanshan and Wang Xiucai made a big salute, kowtowing and kneeling, looking grateful.

Liu Yuanshan asked, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

One hung his head and didn't know what to do, and after a long time he said, "I don't know, I'll go back to the temple to recite the scriptures first." In fact, he knew in his heart that Qianning Temple was the property of Xiaojue Temple, and it would be taken back by Xiaojue Temple in a short time, but he really didn't know where to go, so he could only squat in the temple first.

Liu Yuanshan asked again for a lifetime, he was familiar with Liu Yuanshan all his life, and he was not polite, and said directly: "The master said that if Xiaojue Temple does not take it in, I will return to the vulgar, and when I am still vulgar, I will follow you Sanlang in the future and be a subordinate to you." Just take care of me and eat. ”

"That's fine!" Liu Yuanshan is now short of people at home, and he doesn't care about the bite of food in his life, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and said: "There is no subordinate, since I promised to host, I will do what I say, if there is a bite of food for me Liu Yuanshan in the future, you will not be hungry for the rest of your life." ”

"Good!" I was slightly moved all my life, and I laughed.

Speaking of the matter of Qianning Temple, Liu Yuanshan suddenly thought of the thirty acres of land in the temple again, and saw that the miscellaneous dean Lao Du Ku was also in the meditation room, so he asked: "Master Du Ku, how are you going to dispose of the thirty acres of dry land in Liujia Village, do you want to go out to collect rent or sell it?" ”

Because Liu Yuanshan told a story at the gate of the temple and ridiculed the affairs of the temple, the abbot said that he had a big meal, and he had no good impression of Liu Yuanshan, and this matter made him even more resentful.

At this moment, Liu Yuanshan asked, he snorted coldly and said, "This is a matter in the temple, and it is not my responsibility." ”

Liu Yuanshan naturally knew the resentment in his heart, but he didn't care about it, and said, "Then master, you are wrong. Qianning Temple is not far from Xiaojue Temple, but it is not close, if it is tenant to the people of Liujia Village, I am afraid that collecting rent is also a troublesome matter, you might as well sell the land, and save the trouble! ”

"Sell?" Du Ku thought about it, but he didn't want to follow Liu Yuanshan's wishes, and replied coldly: "This matter is the master of the temple, and the old man can't be the master!" ”

Liu Yuanshan knew that he was, the first seat of the Miscellaneous Affairs Institute was powerful, and it was a position of real power, and he did these worldly chores.

"Master Duku, do you know that the one who is now tenanting thirty acres of dry land in the temple is the old Gan's family!" Liu Yuanshan smiled and said that people and animals were harmless, but he was suddenly vigilant in his heart.

In his few impressions, the people of the Lao Gan family are not easy to get along with.

"You want to buy land in the monastery?" Du Ku asked Liu Yuanshan.

"Hmm!" Liu Yuanshan did not shy away from it, and said: "As long as the price is fair and reasonable." ”

The land in this place is precious, but the dry land is not expensive, in general, the dry land is a fair price of three taels of silver per acre, and the fertile paddy field can be combined to five taels and one acre.

Du Ku thought carefully for a while, then took a deep look at Wang Xiucai and Li Zheng, and said secretly: Although these three people are nothing in my eyes, they should also be the head of the land in Liujia Village.

"Okay!" Du Ku thought for a while and said: "Three taels of silver is one acre, and the land in the temple has a total of thirty acres, totaling ninety taels of silver." ”

"Okay, I won't bargain with you, Master!" Liu Yuanshan said with a smile: "However, the master might as well buy one get one free, and give me a big bag of the temple." ”

"That's not going to work!" Although Du Ku felt that Qianning Temple was dilapidated, wouldn't it be a big loss to send it out so for nothing?

"Alas, Master!" Liu Yuanshan approached Duku, groped out two taels of silver in his hand and secretly handed it to him, and said: "Your temple has no land, it is duckweed without roots, and the monks of Xiaojue Temple are unwilling to preside, I am afraid that it will be abandoned from now on, and one or two pieces of silver will not be sold!" ”

Du Kuan understood, put away the two taels of silver quietly, and a smile appeared on his face, and said: "What the little donor said makes sense, I will bring the land deed, and we will have two silver goods, and we can go to the yamen to exchange for a red deed the next day, and this matter is settled." ”
