In the early morning, a group of craftsmen, under the leadership of Tang Sanzang, slowly ascended the Lingshan Mountain along the winding mountain road.

And Hu Lai has been waiting at the gate of Leiyin Temple for a long time.

"Master, disciple brought the craftsmen. Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and stepped forward to salute.

Hu Lai nodded and brought these craftsmen into the Leiyin Temple

These craftsmen are all masons, stonemasons, and carpenters, who come from Baiyun Town and surrounding villages respectively, and were found according to the meaning of Hu Lai.

In fact, Hu Lai had already moved the idea of rebuilding Leiyin Temple, but unfortunately his money had not been enough before, so he could only postpone the reconstruction plan indefinitely.

Who would have thought that the greedy monk Zhizhang would automatically send money to the door, so that he could earn a full thousand taels of silver, and now the money for the renovation is not worried, so the renovation plan must be put on the agenda.

Hu Lai smiled and told several of the craftsmen in charge about his renovation plan.

When several craftsmen heard each other's renovation plans, they looked at each other one by one.

Because of this abbot, not to mention the need for them to build a mountain road, they even have to enclose the entire Lingshan with a wall, and then pave the blue jade floor tiles in it, and then renovate all the houses, which is basically the rhythm of building the entire Lingshan into a palace, and the project is not easy.

Just building that wall is a difficult project, you must know that the scope of building the wall pointed out by the master can be more than 100 zhang long and wide, and the more than 100 zhang long land is built with a wall, and the kind of big high wall that is three zhang high is also needed, which is absolutely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The ground within the walls should be paved with blue jade stone, which has been built in accordance with the requirements of the construction of the imperial palace, and it is estimated that Master Rulai intends to build the temple into a magnificent temple.

Moreover, even the mountain roads have to be paved with blue jade stones, and this level of luxury has far exceeded their expectations.

The craftsmen's faces were full of incredulity.

The craftsman at the head wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed down and said, "Master Rulai, the project you want to build will cost too much, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"How much does it cost?" asked Hu Lai.

At present, he has more than 1,000 taels of silver in his hand, and his purchasing power is already quite good, since he wants to build Leiyin Temple into the strongest temple, then he must not be petty, and simply build a larger temple at one time, so as not to be insufficient in the future.

"If you come to the master, the blue jade stone is not cheap, if you calculate it according to the use of all the green jade stones, you need at least 100,000 taels of silver. The artisan leader gave an estimated price.

Tang Sanzang also nodded: "Master, Qingyu is only produced near Qingyu Mountain, and less than a thousand stones are produced every year, so the price is expensive, and the price of each piece of rough stone is equivalent to a few taels of silver." ”

"Ahem...... What kind of material can be used to build a temple with that thousand taels of silver? Seeing that the price of this green jade far exceeded the estimate, Hu Lai simply retreated to the next best.

The leader of the craftsmen said: "According to the cost performance, ordinary limestone can be used to build temples, although limestone is a low-quality stone, but it is durable, but the color is relatively average. ”

"It's easy to talk about money, so you can use green jade to build a temple. Hu Lai simply gritted his teeth and made a decision.

The limestone is the stone used in the current wall of Leiyin Temple, which looks ordinary and ordinary, and is completely an earthy gray.

Since the Leiyin Temple is to be built into the first temple, it is necessary to use the best to avoid the trouble of rebuilding it in the future.

"Master, the gold and silver available in our temple are only more than 1,200 taels, if the temple is built with blue jade, not only will the temple not be built, but even the wages of the craftsmen will not be enough. Seeing this, Tang Sanzang could only remind him.

"This abbot has his own way, you can do it, and hire more craftsmen, and it must be completed quickly. Hu Lai waved his hand, extremely heroic.

Tang San's cold sweat that he had hidden from listening to came down.

I wondered in my heart, where could the abbot, who only had a thousand taels of silver, get so much money?

He didn't know that the abbot relied on the treasure in the back mountain to speak so hardly.

After talking with the craftsmen, Hu Lai took the 1,000 taels of silver in his hand as a deposit, paid all the money to the leader of the craftsmen, and asked him to find more people, transport a batch of blue jade stones first, and then build the mountain road.

The craftsmen didn't worry about how big the project was, and when they got Hu Lai's promise, they immediately searched for manpower.

Seeing the craftsman leaving, Hu Lai beckoned to Tang Sanzang: "Sanzang, come on, come on, go to my room, let's drink a pot of tea and talk." ”

"It's the abbot!" Tang Sanzang was immediately flattered.

Unexpectedly, the abbot of Rulai, who was like a Buddha in his heart, would invite him to tea.

What a privilege is this?

......

In the abbot's room, a pot of fragrant tea is steaming slowly.

Tang Sanzang picked up the teacup and blew a breath, who knew that the tea had not yet reached his mouth, and the abbot would say: "Sanzang, I heard that your Tang family is quite rich." ”

Burst!

Tang Sanzang was taken aback, and directly squirted out the tea that had just arrived.

"Master, don't you want me to go to the Tang family to borrow money?" Tang Sanzang immediately guessed something.

Hu Lai nodded, not shy away, the so-called wool comes out of the sheep.

The Tang family is the largest family in Baiyun Town, starting by doing business, with more than 100 shops, and even Tucheng has the Tang family's industry, and now Tang Sanzang's father Tang Mingde is the mayor of Baiyun Town, and the eldest son is an apprentice in his Leiyin Temple, the Tang family can be described as rich and powerful, and it is definitely the first choice for borrowing money.

"Yes, I heard that the Tang family's business is very large, presumably your father is very willing to sponsor Leiyin Temple. Hu Lai said calmly.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but a huge amount, master, Sanzang has become a monk, and has nothing to do with the ordinary......" Tang Sanzang did not intend to take on this important task, and tried to shirk it.

"Oh, if you want to go, I'll teach you the Afterlife Curse myself. Hu Lai said lightly.

"What, the master wants to teach me the Death Mantra himself?" Tang Sanzang asked in surprise.

Ever since the last time the master had his wife's ghost manifest, he had been studying the Death Charm.

It's a pity that this mantra looks very ordinary, and he has recited it thousands of times, and it seems to have no effect on the undead.

"You're interested in the Afterlife Charm, I've known about it for a long time. ”

Hu Lai narrowed his eyes: "If you want to use the Death Spell to surpass the undead, there is a skill, this kind of skill is only me, I originally thought to pass it on to you after a while, if I do it, I will teach you the Death Spell immediately." Besides, the Tang family has a lot of benefits to pay, you go and tell them that if they agree, they will enjoy the services of the super dead of the Leiyin Temple. ”

Tang Sanzang is different from Long Wu, he is not a martial idiot, but he is quite interested in the mantra and Buddhist scriptures, and he recites the mantra more than 100 times a day, and he also knows everything about this matter and knows what the other party wants.

"Master, the disciple must do his best to convince the Tang family. As soon as he heard that the master was going to personally teach the mantra of the past life and provide such benefits to the Tang family, Tang Sanzang's heart was full of fire.

Hu Lai waved his hand: "Money is a trivial matter, I don't force this matter, anyway, the Tang family is unwilling, and there are many people who are willing to lend money to Leiyin Temple, after all, there are too many people who invite this abbot to go over the undead now." ”

This is the truth, for the matter of money, in fact, there is no hurry.

Rare things are precious, and he hasn't recited the mantra for a long time, and he has rejected many people who want to ask him to recite the mantra.

Hu Lai planned to turn the super-undead into a kind of business unique to the Leiyin Temple, so he didn't easily over-kill the undead, firstly, to save time, and secondly, to make those who want to transcend the undead rush to it and raise the price of the super-undead ritual.

As for repaying the money, he is not worried, one is the treasure of the back mountain, the second is that it can be solved by lottery, and the third is that there will be other income in Leiyin Temple in the future, which can also be slowly used to repay debts.

However, for the sake of insurance, Hu Lai plans to go to the back mountain to explore the treasure first!
