After walking for a while, Tan Mo glanced back at the scattered people in the town and couldn't help but feel strange.

Although the candles and lamp oil in the shop were about to be emptied by them, the shopkeeper had already made it very clear, he had prepared enough lighting materials in advance, and had asked the guys in the shop to go to the warehouse to get them, and soon there were enough candles and lamp oil in the shop.

"Senior brother, don't you think that they are crowded in front of this shop, and they really want to buy it? This time, our senior brother still has a surplus of money to buy money, I will go over there to buy some osmanthus cake to satisfy my hunger, junior brother, you might as well go to another shop to go around. There are two such shops in Luowan Town, and you have always been smart, junior brother, and you can see it when you want to come and see it. Bai Guzi looked at it at this time, then rolled his eyes and whispered to Tan Mo.

"I won't go to watch it, senior brother, you just tell me directly." Tan Mo shook his head.

"Yes, help me bring this group of little novices up the mountain, and divide a few pieces of osmanthus cake for you afterwards." Bai Guzi blinked and said.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, a trivial matter." Tan Mo agreed.

Just a few pieces of osmanthus cake, he still doesn't care about it.

Bai Guzi smiled, what he was waiting for was Tan Mo's words.

Then he whispered: "Little junior brother, the sun comes out of the west once every twelve years and lasts for a month, and even the candle shop shopkeeper has already been prepared and hoarded a large number of goods, do you really think that the people in the town will be unprepared?" ”

"But candles are not cheap, although they are not extremely expensive, but they are not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, whenever the day and night are reversed, before the Qing court collapses, there will be an organized large-scale fire to ensure that the whole city is bright day and night. As for the countryside and remote places, it was up to the clans and squires to figure it out themselves. ”

But the clan only cares about their own family, and the squire does not care about the life or death of the poor, and even takes the opportunity to encroach on the fields. At that time, the senior brother couldn't look past it, so when the day and night were reversed last time, he paid out of his own pocket and purchased a large amount of candles and lamp oil, using light to expel the treacherous and protect the peace of this place. ”

"But with this precedent, the people of the town will inevitably think otherwise. For example, this time, it seems that they are crowded in front of the shop to buy lighting materials, but in fact, it is just to prevent the big families in the town from buying the large quantities of candles and lamp oil in the shops, so that we will not be able to buy enough lighting materials. ”

"Because of the elder brother, the people in the town trust us more." This sentence has a deep meaning.

Tan Mo clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha name.

He understood.

It turned out that the people in the town did not trust the big families, for fear that these big families would make a hindrance, so they made this decision.

The Lotus Temple bought a large number of candles and lamp oil, and the name of the Lotus Monk was there, and the people of the town believed that it was themselves who would benefit in the end.

But these big families have got a lot of lighting materials, what will they do, but it's really hard to say.

After all, it's a special time.

"No wonder the people in the town are so in awe of Senior Brother." Tan Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"Although our senior brother is not very disciplined personally, on the whole, he is indeed a qualified monk and cultivator, not only cultivating, but also cultivating virtue." Bai Guzi nodded approvingly.

When Tan Mo heard this, he glanced at Bai Guzi, and the two instantly understood each other's eyes, Bai Guzi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Little junior brother, the pastry shop is almost here, little junior brother, you take that group of little bald heads up the mountain first." By the way, don't tell Mirror Void and Jie Bodhi about this matter, otherwise those two boys will definitely come to grab the osmanthus cake. ”

"Senior brother, please rest assured, I will be tight-lipped." Tan Mo nodded, and then led the group of small novices from the outer courtyard back to the Lotus Temple.

Walking out of the outer courtyard of the Lotus Temple, and taking advantage of the prestige of the little county lord, Tan Mo had already established great prestige in the group of small novices in the outer courtyard, and at this time, as soon as he took the lead, no one dared to object, even the two brothers of the Ge family, not only did not rely on the familiarity with Tan Mo and did not follow the rules, but behaved exceptionally obediently.

Back at the Lotus Temple, he first stored the candles, and then began to lead people to set up the oil lamps.

There are a lot of large oil lamps in the temple, which were sealed after being used once 12 years ago, and it takes the joint efforts of two small novices to carry one oil lamp out.

For a while, the Lotus Temple was a little busy.

Jing Void was busy for a while, wiping the sweat on his forehead, and then came to Tan Mo, who was lazy at this moment, and asked with a dark face: "Little junior brother, what about the second senior brother?" Why isn't it in the temple? Didn't he come back with you? ”

The mirror void came over when he saw that Tan Mo was lazy, but he felt that it was not good to say this as soon as he opened his mouth, and he happened not to see the white bones, so he asked casually.

"Second Senior Brother, because there is some extra money to buy candles and lamp oil, the second senior brother went to the pastry shop in the town to buy some osmanthus cakes, calculate the time, it's time to come back!" Tan Mo said quietly.

When Jing Void heard this, he immediately didn't care about talking about Mo being lazy, he snorted and said, "I just said that this time I went down the mountain to buy, why is he so active, it turns out that he plans to eat kickbacks." ”

"Eat kickbacks?" Tan Mo was stunned.

"Little junior brother, do you really think that our second senior brother wants to eat osmanthus cake? In the past, there was only one grocery store in Luowan Town, but now it ...... There are two. It is well known here that day and night are reversed once every twelve years, and these shopkeepers will prepare enough goods in advance. There are so many candles and lamp oil to buy in our temple, no matter which one you go to, the shopkeeper is making a lot of money, do you think our second senior brother will not negotiate the price in advance? ”

Tan Mo thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was really like that, so the half of the guilt that had just been born in his heart was suddenly gone, he nodded and said, "Second Senior Brother does this, but it's not very good!" ”

When Mirror Void heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said righteously: "Little junior brother, you also think that he is not good at doing this, right?" Then don't tell the fifth junior brother, I'll stop him on the way up the mountain, and I'll share half of you when the time comes. ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, I will be tight-lipped." Tan Mo immediately assured.

So the mirror void left with peace of mind.

He is a half-step martial arts master, and his body is amazing, although he is not as unreasonable as Tan Mo's divine foot, and he is a hundred steps away in an instant, but it only took a moment of kung fu to run out of the Lotus Temple.

Looking at the figure that had disappeared in the mirror void, Tan Mo withdrew his gaze, but saw Jie Bodhi coming over.

Jiebodhi wiped his hands with a towel, and then asked with a strange expression: "Little junior brother, third senior brother is in a hurry, what are you doing running out?" And what about the second senior brother? Why are you all back and haven't seen him yet? ”

"I bought more money, and the second senior brother wanted to buy some osmanthus cakes, but the third senior brother said that the second senior brother was going to eat a kickback, so he went to find the second senior brother." Tan Mo blinked, and then said with a wooden face.
