Chapter 92: You Owe Me Money
[Mission: There is a missing person in Dong Town, please go to investigate, find the cause of the disappearance and solve it, return the peace of Dong Town, complete the task reward treasure chest, the time limit is 20 days]
"This, this, this...... The Buddha just wanted to be an otaku in Leiyin Temple, so he took out an outing mission?" Hu Lai rolled his eyes.
The last time I went to Youshan in order to complete the task, I encountered a black disaster on the way, not to mention, I also provoked Qingyumen in Youshan, and as a result, I caused a series of follow-up events, which made it dangerous and thrilling, and now I almost gave someone my hometown.
If you go out again this time, you might cause some trouble.
And once you go out, the search for treasure will be delayed.
However, this thousand merits are spent, and it is a waste not to do the task, you must do it yourself, and after you finish it, you will be rewarded with a treasure chest, and you can get a lot of merit if you don't get it right.
"After cultivating the Lei Yin Gong first, I will go out again, anyway, there are still twenty days. Hu Lai simply sat down on the bed with his knees crossed.
Lei Yin Gong is currently the most potential for development, but also the most valuable to promote, divided into six characters of mantra, respectively, earthquake, forbidden, broken, extinguished, death, shock!
Each word recipe represents the cultivation realm and special power of the exercises, and at present, he has only mastered the Zhen Zi Technique and the Forbidden Word Formula.
Shock, can make the surrounding enemies tremble, lose resistance in a short time, and even directly stun the opponent.
Forbidden, can temporarily isolate or seal the mana internal force, the effect on the cultivator is surprisingly good, but with his internal force level, he can only use the forbidden word trick at close range, the group forbidden word trick, and his internal force will be emptied at one time.
Here's the recipe.
Break, which breaks spell effects and shatters certain enchantments and barriers.
With Hu Lai's cultivation of building the foundation of the Six Heavens, it will be very reluctant to cultivate the word-breaking formula.
"There aren't many Tianwu Dan left. He took out the small bottle of Tianwu Dan that he carried with him, emptied the bottle, and found that there were only three pills left.
The cultivation effect provided by this Heavenly Martial Pill was getting weaker and weaker, and when he ate the second pill, Hu Lai noticed that the effect of this Heavenly Martial Pill had been greatly weakened, so he simply distributed the Heavenly Martial Pill to Long Wu, Tang Sanzang and other disciples.
In the end, a hundred merits were drawn out of small prize items, and only the first time I ate it, the effect was better.
He simply swallowed the three Heavenly Martial Pills in one gulp, and began to cultivate the Word Breaking Technique with the help of medicinal power.
Time passed quickly, and Hu Lai's sitting was a full three days.
Knock knock, knock knock!
Three days later, there was a loud knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Hu Lai slowly opened his eyes.
He used to take care of the disciples and monks in the temple not to disturb him at will, but now someone came knocking on the door, something must have happened.
"Abbot, it's not good, there are a group of strange monks outside the door, saying that they want you to come out immediately, the party looks very big, I'm afraid the person who came is not good. Long Wu's voice came from outside the door.
"Monk, is it good?" Hu Lai frowned slightly, and he immediately put on a monk's robe.
A moment later, he came out of his bedroom and into the outer courtyard.
I saw a group of monks wearing yellow robes standing in the open space outside the Buddhist hall.
The leader was a ruddy-faced monk, who looked not young, but his face was not wrinkled, his face was full of blessings, and the other party was wearing a golden robe, and a large gold chain around his neck, and the sun shone brightly around his body, which was quite a bit of jewelry.
Like an upstart!
This person is none other than the monk Baoguang.
The disciples around Monk Baoguang all had gloomy faces and were quite unkind.
"Amitabha, dare to ask this master, I don't know what you have to do in Leiyin Temple?" Hu Lai stepped forward and folded his hands and asked loudly.
"Baoguang, the abbot of the Old Treasure Temple, came here today to pay a visit to Master Rulai, and by the way, he came to ask for some money. Baoguang folded his hands, bowed his chin, and spoke straight to the point.
"Money?" Hu Lai was slightly stunned.
"Master Rulai, you live in the countryside, and you don't even know how much money you have?"
Monk Baoguang showed a mocking look: "That old man will be reluctant to explain it to you, although this Xitian County is a little remote, but it is also the place of the treasure Buddha's dojo, any other Buddhist monks want to open a temple and establish a sect, they must pay a sum of gold and silver to the treasure Buddha, otherwise, it is an illegal business, and it is to be fined." ”
"What? Illegal business? I still occupy the road and do not obey management. When Hu Lai heard this, he almost thought that he had traveled back in time.
This Baoguang monk actually spit out the words "illegal business" in his mouth, does the other party really regard opening a temple as opening a shop to do business?
"Come on, please take a calculation. Taking advantage of the other party's stunnedness, Monk Baoguang reached out and took a golden abacus.
Cracking sound!
He kept fluctuating on the abacus with one palm, making the golden abacus beads make a sound like fried beans, and his fingers still popped up phantoms on the abacus, which was simply fast.
After ten breaths, the sound of the abacus stopped, and Baoguang shouted a Buddha name: "Amitabha, if you come to the abbot, you owe this temple a total of 2,500 taels of silver." ”
"When did the little monk owe you money?" Hu Lai was puzzled.
"If you come to the abbot, you don't know, our treasure temple serves as the head of the Buddha in Xitian County according to the decree of the treasure Buddhism, and has the right to levy a Buddha tax on all temples, which is also a decree issued by the Tang Dynasty...... This account was calculated fifty years ago, from your master Burning Lamp, ten taels of silver per year, if you owe it, then you will also count the fine, so plus the fine, you owe me the treasure temple two thousand five hundred taels of silver. ”
"Rite Buddha tax?" Hu Lai was completely stunned.
The ghost knows that there is such a rule, what kind of Buddha tax do you have to pay to this treasure temple?
"If you come to the abbot, the incense of Leiyin Temple has been very strong recently, and the walls of the entire temple are made of green jade, and there are Buddha bricks of meditation mantras on the ground, so it can be seen that your Leiyin Temple is not short of money, so please pay the Buddha tax quickly. Monk Baoguang stretched out his hand at Hu Lai, looking like he was collecting debts for money immediately.
"Amitabha, the little monk doesn't have any money now, the money is used to repair the temple, and I ask Master Baoguang to give two days. Hu Lai simply folded his hands.
He didn't want to pay, but the Treasure Temple was the largest temple in Xitian County, and the number of monks was as high as more than 500, and it was also the head of the Buddhist sect in Xitian County.
The current Leiyin Temple must not offend the other party, so this money must be paid.
Otherwise, if his relationship with this treasure temple is stiff, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the development of Lei Yin Temple.
"I don't have any money now? Monk Baoguang smiled and rubbed his hands.
"Can you still repay the loan in installments? Do you think you're a bank?" Hu Lai was sweating when he heard this.
Where is the monk of this treasure temple considered a monk, and he even understands the installment repayment, and he can be regarded as a professional financial person.
Do and not yet avoid being too big and overkill.
"Amitabha, what is a bank? My treasure temple operates all kinds of pawnshops, ticket shops, and shops, but I have never operated any bank. Monk Baoguang shook the big gold chain on his chest.
Hu Lai was speechless, and very simply, from the bulging bag on his waist, he took out a shiny silver ingot and smashed it directly into the place.
Don't you want money?
Buddha to you!
