When the two monks, an old man and a young monk, saw that someone had come in, they immediately stood solemn, and a bowl of noodles made them eat the Buddha's appearance. Lin Ruyu pursed her lips and couldn't hold back a smile, pulled Shen Ge's sleeve, and motioned for them to withdraw first to let the family have a good meal.

Shen Ge understood and was about to retreat. The monk who guided them spoke, "Master Wunian, Senior Brother Lichen, this is the daughter of Xuanzhou Lin Dashan, Mrs. Shen."

Lin Ruyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, this is Master Wunian, the host of Hao Lianzhai's Appearance Yin Mountain, and his little apprentice Lichen?

"Amitabha-" Although Master Wu Nian's beard was snow-white, his voice was very loud and full of energy, "Lady Shen and Lingtang donated money to repair the temple, and the poor monks and apprentices are grateful."

"Thank you, donor." The little monk Lichen's eyes were bright and his voice was crisp, "The little monk and the master heard that the female benefactor and General Shen had arrived in Wusha Town, and they were about to eat a bowl of noodles, so they went to the street to find the two of them to thank them in person, but they didn't want to meet them here."

Lin Ruyu folded her hands and returned the salute, "The year before last, the little woman and her family fled to your place, using the items in the room to keep out the cold without authorization, and picking fruits and vegetables in the garden to satisfy hunger, please don't blame the master."

The two compartments were polite, and the two compartments sat down to eat somen noodles and began to gossip. Shen Ge talked about the fact that he and Lin Ruyu went to the Guanyin Temple outside Haolian Village yesterday and the gate was locked.

The little monk scratched his little bald head and said with a smile, "The little monk and the master heard that the incense of the Guanyin Temple in Wusha Town was vigorous, so they planned to come over to learn the scriptures, we set off five days ago, and we stopped and stopped all the way to collect medicine, and we only arrived today."

Lin Ruyu asked curiously, "The two of you came here to learn the scriptures, is it because the incense in your place is not prosperous?"

The Guanyin Temple in Haolianzhai and Wusha Town were repaired at the expense of the Lin family, and the Lin mother spared no money in silver, and the labor and materials were the best.

Master Wu Nian recited the Buddha's name and explained, "Our temple is built on a mountain, and the incense is not as vigorous as the temples in the town. At the beginning of this year, there was another bloody case, and rumors arose in Hao Lianzhai, so ...... Amitabha."

Murder case? Shen Ge and Lin Ruyu looked at each other, and after asking the reason, they found that this murder was related to them, and they couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

The person who died in the murder was none other than the robber who made a living by robbing on the official road of Haolianzhai in Qi County, Jiang Sanlin.

After He Jiongming's Chinese New Year's Eve dream, he took people to Qi County to confirm the truth of the dream, and on the way back to Cheng County, he was thrown by Shen Ge and blocked by Jiang Sanlin, who robbed the road, and Jiang He Jiongming stopped on the official road. Shen Ge retreated, but Jiang Sanlin and his gang were caught and slaughtered by He Jiongming's men.

Jiang Sanlin is a ruffian bully who dominates Hao Lianzhai after Ma Er's blind man, and his people bully the soft and fear the hard, which is a disaster for the township. Shen Ge borrowed He Jiongming's hand to kill him, and he also eliminated harm for the people. But I didn't expect Jiang Sanlin to be a believer in Buddhism, and often went to Guanyin Temple to burn incense and send incense money, praying for the Bodhisattva to bless him from going to hell after death. On the day he was killed, he had just gone to the Guanyin Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and he went with his family.

After Jiang Sanlin's death, the Jiang family lost their way to make money, and they went to the Guanyin Temple to make trouble and make the temple lose money. After Master Wunian returned his money, they were greedy, and went up the mountain to ask for money five times, because Master Wunian couldn't give it, so they spread rumors about Guanyin Temple everywhere and cut off the incense in the temple.

"There are only two people, the little monk and the master, who can get by with or without incense. But my master built a good church and adopted eighteen children who were homeless after the flood, and I didn't have any incense money to buy rice, clothes, and medicine." The little monk was worried, "That's why we came here to learn the scriptures and learn from Uncle Jingyuan."

The year before last, the flood in Sanzhou caused a large number of people to be homeless, and many children lost their relatives and became orphans. The imperial court was busy quelling the chaos, and most of the relief for the victims relied on local benevolent people like Master Wunian.

Shen Ge, who had been an orphan, knew that it was not easy to take care of eighteen children, and looked at Lin Ruyu. Lin Ruyu beckoned to Yunjuan and took three hundred taels of silver tickets to Shen Ge. Shen Ge handed the silver ticket to Master Wunian with both hands, "You can keep these silver taels, if they are not enough, you can go to Xuanzhou Wanxiang Teahouse to find Shen Liangyong again." The people of Jiang Sanlin's family, Shen will send someone to settle the situation, so that they don't dare to go to the Guanyin Temple to make trouble again."

"Amitabha-" Master Wu Nian took the silver ticket with both hands and thanked him continuously, tears rolling in his eyes, "With this good money, it is enough to support the children for five years, and after five years, they will be able to support themselves. The poor monk will definitely be there when he returns

The Bodhisattva recites sutras every day in front of him, asking the Bodhisattva to bless the two donors with peace and prosperity."

"The little monk will also chant sutras with Master for the two donors." The little monk from the dust smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Shen Ge patted Lichen's thin little shoulder, "You also eat more, and when you grow up, you will help your master take care of the temple."

"Good!" The little monk Lichen's eyes were shining, "When General Shen lived in Wusha Town, did he grow up sleeping on straw behind the Buddha statue in the Guanyin Temple?"

"Hmm." This is a well-known thing in Wusha Town, Shen Ge nodded.

The little monk looked at Shen Ge with a blank eye, "Uncle Jingyuan laid straw behind the Buddha's statue, and if you donate enough incense money, you can spend the night behind the Buddha statue and be blessed by the Bodhisattva. I heard from the senior brothers in this temple that they relied on this and got a lot of incense money. When General Shen was in our temple, he also slept behind the Buddha's face, right?"

Lin Ruyu......

Seeing Shen Ge shaking his head, the light in the eyes of the little monk gradually extinguished, "This trip is in vain......

"It's not for nothing, I have a good idea." Shen Ge beckoned to the little monk who left the dust, and the little guy immediately walked around the table with bright eyes and ran to Shen Ge's side.

Shen Ge whispered a few words to him like this, and glanced at Lin Ruyu meaningfully. The little guy also looked at Lin Ruyu with sparkling eyes, and nodded frequently, "Thank you, General Shen, the little monk understands!"

Shen Ge said, "You're welcome. When we used to spend the night in the temple under the sign of your own mother-in-law, we can be regarded as lay brothers, and it is appropriate for brothers to help each other."

When the little monk Lichen heard this, he smiled even more happily.

Lin Ruyu saw that the two of them were talking endlessly, so she gossiped with Master Wu Nian, "We climbed the mountain yesterday and found that there was no one in the temple. Did you build the good hall in Hao Lianzhai?"

Wu Nian smiled, "It's not in the village, that lady must remember that it is the Taojiazhuang where you rescued Lingtang." The land in Taojiazhuang was sold cheaply, and Lao Qu bought ten acres and built a few huts."

Although Lin Ruyu had only been to Taojiazhuang once, she was deeply impressed by it, "I remember that there is a large area of fertile land near Taojiazhuang, why is it sold cheaply?"

Wu Nian explained, "It was originally the private residence of Dong Wenyin, the former county magistrate of Qi County, and after the flood, there was haunted gossip, so no one in the village took over, and the chief of the village dismantled Taojiazhuang into scattered land and sold it."

Lin Ruyu asked, "The ghost who makes people in the village dare not buy land must be very powerful."
