In the Big Buddha Temple, in addition to the intimidating statues of the gods, there are also a lot of calligraphy, painting and drawing.

The drawings in the Buddhist temples are mostly myths and legends such as the mysterious and mysterious exhortations of human beings to be good, because there are gods and ghosts, demons and evil, and the stories are very strong, so Liu Lu will take a serious look.

And those texts, such as some couplets and plaques, or teleprompters and inscriptions, Liu Lu is just a casual look, because at his level, even if he stumbles and reads them all, whether it is calligraphy or the meaning of the words, he can't appreciate any wonderful and artistic conception, so he is very self-aware and unwilling to waste time on it.

The origin of the name of the Big Buddha Temple is from the big reclining Buddha carved into the mountain on a stone cliff on the mountain behind the temple, with a Buddha body of five or six zhang, which makes people feel awe and bow their heads.

A small courtyard in the Great Buddha Temple is the residence of the clergy.

Why do you say that it is a clergy, because the people here are not all monks, nor are they all Taoists, and there are also priests who have no clear immortal faction and whose identities are difficult to define.

In this courtyard, in addition to the backyard where the clergy live, which is relatively secluded and cannot be entered or exited, there are also some guest houses for people to stay overnight, as well as a canteen open to the outside world for fasting and eating in the Big Buddha Temple.

These two places will be provided to pilgrims for free on some special days, such as the Buddha's birthday, but the quantity is limited, and the incense in the Big Buddha Temple is so prosperous that it is impossible to provide food for everyone without restraint.

If it is on an ordinary day, like today, the guest house and the meal are not free, and those in need have to donate some sesame oil money, as for how much, the Big Buddha Temple does not have an accurate standard, which means that it all depends on the sincerity of the believers, a copper coin, a gold ingot, are all good karma.

Liu Lu walked around the Big Buddha Temple for an afternoon, it can be said that he was tired and hungry, and when he saw that the food provided by the dining hall looked more delicious, he decided to taste it and fill his stomach casually.

In fact, there are many people who came to the Big Buddha Temple from Star City to have a fast meal, and these people can be said to be some of the people who are not rich or expensive in Star City, so the sesame oil money offered is far from being compared to a fast meal.

Liu Lu is not a rich person, and he doesn't have much money on his body, so when he donated sesame oil money, he just symbolically took out a few copper coins, and his heart was really frank, and he really didn't have any intention of taking advantage, since the temple said that the money was more and the money was less, it was all based on his sincerity, so he donated with his greatest sincerity.

Guarding the sesame oil money box was a middle-aged man, wearing clothes similar to Taoist robes, but without hair, like a monk.

When Liu Lu offered the sesame oil money, the middle-aged man only looked at him deeply, but didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the end, when he saw some people sitting in the small partition, eating several picks, soup and tea, and he only had one bowl, and half a bowl of rice in the bowl was covered with a spoonful of wild vegetables, that Liu Lu realized a little hindsight and understood that his sincerity seemed to be insincere in the eyes of others.

In this regard, Liu Lu could only smile bitterly, and ate a bowl of rice that was indeed dull and tasteless.

Liu Lu, who originally wanted to stay overnight, didn't have the courage to ask if there was a spare guest house after dinner.

Out of the Big Buddha Temple, it was already after sunset, most of the pilgrims who came in the early morning had already returned, and most of the vendors at the foot of the Moon Mountain had simple thatched huts, and they did not go back at night.

The fatigue of the day made Liu Lu too lazy to walk back, so he directly took a simple carriage that specially picked up people to Star City.

When he returned to his own courtyard in Star City, it was already dark, everything in the house had not changed, and there was no trace of Xianyi as when he left.

Xianyi's disappearance had no effect on Liu Lu's life, and Liu Lu meditated and practiced as usual, tidying up and sleeping.

In the next few days, Liu Lu didn't stay in the courtyard like before, he got up early in the daytime, and after practicing martial arts for more than an hour, he would go to various areas of Star City to walk the streets and alleys to see what was suitable for his livelihood, and now he basically didn't have much money left, and if he didn't find some work to make some money, he could only starve to death or become a beggar.

I don't know if I don't look for it, but Liu Lu was very hit when I looked for it, originally he thought that a prosperous place like Star City should be full of money, don't say make a lot of money casually, and it should not be a problem to support yourself at all, but who knows that the reality is quite cruel, I don't know how to do arithmetic and make a fuss, I lack gaps and specialties, I have no technology and experience, the only job he can find is just a job with a pitiful low salary, like a guy in a restaurant, just a salary of one penny a month at the beginning, and two meals a day, It's not starving, but it's just spending a lot of energy and time to make ends meet, and there are some things like washing dishes, driving cars, watching the gate, digging dung, carrying sedan chairs, etc., the wages are almost the same, it's just that people don't die of hunger.

It is impossible to work part-time, it is purely a waste of life, Liu Lu thought in his heart, if he really can't do it, he will find a place to sell force, and this is what he tried to avoid before, he didn't want to be too ostentatious in Star City, be ruthless, and do some things to fight and kill.

"Maybe you can go to some high-ranking mansions to act as a guard and head or something, and find a clean family with no enemies, which is quiet and ......safe," Liu Lu thought.

Carrying a bag of food as dinner in his hand, Liu Lu was thinking about his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the people along the way when he went home.

"Liu Lu!"

The familiar sweet voice brought Liu Lu back to his senses, and it turned out that he passed by the door of Aunt Zhang's house unconsciously, and he didn't notice Zhang Cailing's existence for a while.

Liu Lu saw Zhang Cailing standing at the door of the house, slim, strangely there was a trace of anger on his face, but even so, it was very good-looking in Liu Lu's eyes.

"Pick the bell." Liu Lu took a few steps back and stood in front of Zhang Cailing.

Zhang Cailing didn't look like Liu Lu was deliberately ignoring her, and the nameless aura that suddenly arose also dissipated.

Zhang Cailing doesn't hate Liu Lu, a newcomer who hasn't been here for a long time, so her usually stingy smile will give a few more points.

Zhang Cailing smiled, "Seeing that you have been going out early and returning late these days, are you busy with anything important?" ”

Liu Lu looked at Zhang Cailing's face, no matter how he looked at it, it was a pleasant face, "No, it's not a matter of shopping around and staying at home every day." ”

"Heh, you didn't go out every day before, and I almost thought that you were a fugitive from somewhere, and you came here to hide from the enemy."

Zhang Cailing told a joke that was not very funny, and Liu Lu could only echo it and laugh dryly.

"Why, I'm a good person."

"I'm kidding, Liu Lu, you don't look like a bad person."

"Huh."

"I usually see you practicing swords in the courtyard, do you know martial arts?"

Liu Lu was a little surprised, why did Zhang Cailing ask about this again, usually she didn't show interest in martial arts.

"A little bit."

"Are you awesome?"

For a while, Liu Lu didn't know how to answer, whether to boast of his invincible youth and the favor of Boyi Bomei, or to tell the truth, or to be more low-key.

Liu Lu was a little worried, if he boasted that he was very powerful and that he was already a heroic boy who was quite invincible, but he was afraid that he would blow it too much, and if the bottom leaked behind, it would be embarrassing.

In the end, Liu Lu decided to keep a low profile, otherwise no matter what he said, he would be suspected of boasting.

Liu Lu smiled a little shyly, "It's average, it's not very powerful." ”

"Then you must be humble, I heard Wen Sheng say that your swordsmanship is very powerful." Zhang Cailing praised Liu Lu with a smile.

This made Liu Lu a little excited, "Where! I can also play swords and swords, I am a rough man, and I can't compare to the great talent of the above students. ”

Zhang Cailing chuckled, anyone who praised her brother was more useful than praising her.

"Are you going out tomorrow?" Zhang Cailing asked Liu Lu.

Liu Lu's heart moved, thinking that something was about to come.

Liu Lu didn't just narcissistically think that Zhang Cailing stopped him with a smiling face to laugh with him.

Liu Lu thought about it and didn't immediately agree, "It depends on the situation." What, is there something wrong with you? ”

Zhang Cailing hesitated for a moment, "Wensheng, they are going to the outskirts of the city tomorrow for a spring outing, and a few sisters and I are also going to play outside the city, and I want to invite you to go with me." ”

When Liu Lu heard that he was invited to go out to play, he was so excited that he was almost "blinded by lard" and agreed, "What, do you want me to be your bodyguard?" ”

Zhang Cailing nodded, and shook her head again, "It also means this, my mother doesn't worry about us going out, and a weak scholar can't help anything if there's anything." Of course, the main thing is to invite you to hang out with us, and to protect or something is just by the way. ”

"Well...... this"

Seeing that Liu Lu didn't agree immediately, the smile on Zhang Cailing's face was a little less, "I'm just saying, it's okay if you're busy." ”

"I can go out with Cailing and you, it's an unbelievable thing in the west of the city, if you shout loudly now, there may be how many young masters and sons, lined up, crowded for you to choose."

If you want to put it on hold in normal times, Liu Lu's tone will only end up with a roll of eyes, and maybe he will be scolded as a hooligan, but this time not only did not, but also made the beauty laugh.

"Nasty." Zhang Cailing laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely escort you tomorrow."

Zhang Cailing smiled and said, "Okay, then it's decided, I'll call you tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Lu also smiled and nodded.

Then Zhang Cailing turned around and entered the courtyard, and Liu Lu also went back with a smirk.

What neither of them noticed was that in the crack in the door of Butcher Zhou's house, there was a pair of peeking eyes.
