The way back was smooth, and there was no need to stop, Mo Ling, who had been traveling for nearly two days, returned to the temple overnight.

The morning sun is rising, the White Temple is still as bustling as ever, because of the miracle, there are pilgrims who are willing to endure the hardships of the trek far away, such a huge flow of people, I don't know how many vendors in front of the temple are fed.

Because Li Xuanji left, Xiao Daotong had to guard the incense shop, and Li Dazhi sent a few of his servants to help from the people who were responsible for receiving him at the door. Because Li Dazhi's family has all kinds of deeds about Mo Ling, the servants who came to help feel very honored.

Seeing Mo Ling coming back, Mo Li's eyebrows widened from afar. Before, she had been stretching out her little head and kept looking out, seeing that Mo Ling's figure appeared in the sky, and she didn't keep her account, she was extremely happy, and ran over with small steps.

"Childe, you're finally back!"

Mo Ling rubbed Mo Li's head dotingly, and the divine soldiers attached to the portrait on the temple door showed their appearance and saluted, and Mo Ling waved them down.

"I've only been gone for two days, and it's not a long time since I did, so I don't have to be in such a hurry. ”

After speaking, Mo Li raised his little head and shook slightly to protest, the people under his feet kept coming in and out, the hawkers shouted endlessly, Dao Tong was full of excitement to collect incense money, everything seemed to be in order, Mo Ling came out of the dragon tomb to the present, only felt like a world away.

"Okay, let's go down, there are still a lot of pilgrims today..."

Sending Mo Li away, Mo Ling looked into the distance, according to Li Xuanji's foot strength, he should come back tonight.

Thinking about it, Mo Ling took out a book taken out of the dragon tomb, flew to the top of the tower and kept flipping through it, waiting for this Li Xuanji.

Overhead, the sun draws a perfect arc from east to west, and after a busy day in the temple, several servants dine beautifully under the hospitality of the little Taoist boy. It is rare for these people to come, in order to leave a good image, Mo Ling ordered to be treated, a large bowl of sea, full of delicate white rice, greasy meat dishes, everyone thanked from the bottom of their hearts, and they ate very happily.

Dao Tong gave the statue of Mo Ling the last stick of incense after the pilgrim left, and was about to go to the kitchen to Chen a big bowl of rice by himself, but the door suddenly opened, and a strong man walked in with a package on his back and dark circles on his face:

"Little Wuzi, go and get me a big bowl of rice, I've been gone for a few days, but I'm hungry. ”

As soon as Li Xuanji entered the gate, he kept yelling in a loud voice, and several of the helpers inside were a little afraid, but the Taoist boy was used to it, so he pouted, and served the rice left for himself to Li Xuanji, and hurriedly heated several pots of food in the pot, Li Xuanji was a good eater.

Li Xuanji served the meal, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat in a big gulp, it looked really hungry, no wonder, Fangcun Temple is indeed bitter, a meal is not oily, it is indeed not enjoyable, Mo Ling saw that Li Xuanji finally came back, and said a word in the air, and went down to the main hall, the divine soldiers and the ghosts were already receiving the task and preparing to leave.

Ghosts are mainly responsible for the prayers of the people, while the divine soldiers are mainly responsible for security patrols to prevent ghosts from attacking and disturbing people.

After half a moment, the ghosts and divine soldiers all went out, and when only Mo Ling and Mo Li were left in the main hall, Li Xuanji placed his package and walked into the main hall:

"Immortal, you called me?"

Li Xuanji still looked very arrogant, but Mo Ling was sitting upright with a serious expression. On the table was all the money that had been earned in recent days. Seeing this, Li Xuanji suddenly panicked in his heart, and his expression became slightly serious, Mo Ling looked at Mo Li who was holding an abacus on the side:

"Mo Li, everyone is here today, let's calculate the bills for the recent days, and how much the temple has entered and exited, so I can know it in my heart. ”

After Mo Ling finished speaking, Li Xuanji's face was a little embarrassed, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, his originally calm posture was a little restless, he didn't stand or sit, and the whole person looked a little impetuous.

These Mo Ling looked at it in his eyes, his face was silent, but he was snickering in his heart.

Acting like this, he did not want to deliberately embarrass Li Xuanji, but wanted to use this matter to establish rules, the money is small, but the rules must not be broken.

Mo Li's abacus made a crisp sound, and it was right at first, but then the more he calculated, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and it was not until he finished the calculation that he said to Mo Ling with some doubts:

"Lord, we have recently sold a total of 22,825 sticks of incense of various colors, and it is said that we should have received a total of 843 taels, but today's inventory found that there were only 620 taels, which is a total of more than 220 taels of silver. ”

After Mo Li finished receiving it, Mo Ling first questioned Mo Li:

"Why didn't you even notice that you were missing more than two hundred taels of silver when you close the accounts every day?"

Mo Li received Mo Ling's question, a little aggrieved, but he didn't explain, Li Xuanji was stunned when he saw this, so he had to hurriedly come out and explain:

"I got this money, and I didn't report it in advance, and I only remembered it when I settled the account today!"

"What do you do with these coins?"

Li Xuanji sighed slightly, and a trace of loneliness and helplessness appeared on his face:

"Lord Chenghuang also ask for forgiveness, I am also old and young, a family of a few people live on a few acres of thin fields, living on poverty, usually can eat some steamed buns, the meals are not a little oily, I think out of the time to come out, homesick, so I did not report, took some money home. Look at Haihan!"

Mo Ling glanced at Li Xuanji, ordinary people always say that their family members don't speak, and this Li Xuanji really did it. Strictly speaking, everything he said is not a lie, Mo Ling has personally seen it, Li Xuanji has two senior brothers, and there is a junior brother below, and all three of them live on the fields in front of the temple, and it is true that they can only eat some steamed buns for a meal, but eating ten baskets of steamed buns for a meal is also a big expense!

When Mo Ling heard the funny, he was calculating, but his face was still deliberately flat:

"If you need money, you can pay the account directly here at Mo Li, how can you not speak?"

Li Xuanji couldn't help but turn red, bowing his head in shame, Mo Ling didn't continue to investigate, and directly answered:

"Forget it this time, but don't you know if it's an example?"

Li Xuanji hurriedly agreed, Mo Ling saw that Li Xuanji's attitude was quite sincere, and his tone became calm again:

"Okay, since I know that your family is in trouble this time, forget it! I'm not the one who picks the door, it's just that there are no rules, I hope you can understand. If you want money in the future, you have to tell Mo Li first, and then pay the money, I am an immortal, and I can't use this money at this stage. ”

After Mo Ling finished speaking, Li Xuanji raised his head and looked at Mo Ling in surprise. Thinking this would be so easy to pass?

Mo Ling didn't know that this kind of leniency and equality in the future generations had opened the eyes of Li Xuanji, a native of the country, that his own affairs could be big or small, but Mo Ling still chose to let it go, and even promised to ensure the use of money in the future.

Li Xuanji is really a little... admired Mo Ling, and at the same time felt a little guilty in his heart.
