After talking about the errand of marriage, Lu Zhishen was deeply concerned about training monks and soldiers, and deliberately found a vegetable garden in the temple, planning to open a martial arts training ground here.

But before he could do that, he had to talk to someone from the Intelligence Department.

Back in the meditation room, Monk Hua picked up the walkie-talkie, tuned to Yanqing's exclusive 007 channel, and pressed the intercom button:

"Hey, hey, can Brother Xiao Yi hear the Sprinkle family talking?"

Yan Qing's voice soon sounded on the walkie-talkie:

"Heard, is there any progress from the master?"

"The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple is my uncle, I just proposed to train a group of monks in the temple, he agreed, I plan to start quickly, maybe it can come in handy in the future."

The walkie-talkie can't be said too long at a time, Lu Zhishen divided it into several paragraphs, and finally said everything again.

I didn't expect to meet Elder Zhizhen's senior brother, Yan Qing hurriedly wrote it down in the intelligence book, and then said:

"Ma Ling will pass on these messages to Qilin Village as soon as possible, and the master will count the equipment needed by the warrior monks, and let the imperial uncle or Mr. think of a way to prepare it as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's do this first, I'll contact you after I'm done."

After chatting, Lu Zhishen put away the walkie-talkie and continued to wander around, familiar with all aspects of the temple.

On the other side, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong left the restaurant and had breakfast beautifully.

Meat buns, hu cakes, meat bream, soup cakes...... I've been gnawing on the nest for the past few days, and now I can finally eat it with my belly open.

In front of the tofu stall not far away, Xie Yingdeng was also eating breakfast, and the hot tofu just out of the pot was poured with marinade, which tasted quite good and tasted delicious.

As he ate, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

Last night, I thought that someone would come to steal the three hundred taels of silver, but I didn't expect that no one showed up after waiting all night, and Qiao Daoqing never showed up, Xie Yingdeng planned to follow another day to see the situation.

Could it be that I was overly nervous yesterday, and no one paid special attention to Li Zhong and Zhou Tong?

"What are you going to do later?"

Zhou Tongsan ate the noisy mutton bun into his stomach in two bites, grabbed the Hu cake stuffed with pork and green onions, and discussed it with Li Zhong while eating.

Li Zhong has no clue:

"Continue to sell plasters?"

"Pull it down, sell plasters when you don't have money, and sell plasters when you have money, don't you take the three hundred taels of silver for nothing?"

Li Zhong held the bowl and drank the noodle soup:

"What are your plans?"

"I want to go to Kaiyuan Temple to see, the big monk said to be the abbot, don't we have money in our hands, donate him fifty taels of sesame oil money first, and make a familiar face."

Li Zhong's slamming of the door came up:

"Ten taels is a lot, isn't it? In case Master Lu is driven away in a few days, aren't we donating it for nothing? ”

Xie Yingdeng, who was not far away, heard this and almost squirted out the tofu in his mouth.

No wonder Master Lu doesn't look down on Li Zhong, when the Ministry of Intelligence came to Zhending Mansion, he brought three thousand taels of silver, plus the operation during this period of time and the income they earned, the total cash was close to ten thousand taels.

When he took the Zhending Mansion, the silver in the treasury was used casually, and he actually counted the little money donated to the temple.

This guy really has two extremes with the second brother, one is searched to the bones, and the other is so generous...... But it also confirms what Mr. once said:

"Only if you have endured great hardships will you pick on others and even more on yourself."

Master Lu wants to tell Zhou Tong about marriage, and there is a chance to turn around, and Xiaodao will also create a peach blossom luck for Li Zhong, a brother who can live, and Buddhism and Taoism will blossom!

Zhou Tong ate and drank to his heart's content, got up and settled the account, and prepared to wander to Kaiyuan Temple.

Li Zhong asked the store for a lotus leaf, and wrapped up all the remaining buns and cakes...... You can't throw it away, you have to carry it with you, and you can take it out for emergencies when you're hungry.

"Damn, it's all meaty, are you going to bring it to the temple?"

Zhou Tong took the copper coin that the store was looking for, grabbed the bun and Hu Biscuit that Li Zhong had packed, and handed it to a little beggar next to him:

"Take it and eat it, and I'll give you the change."

He threw the copper plate in his hand to the little beggar, and pulled Li Zhong, who wanted to stop talking, to walk in the direction of Kaiyuan Temple, and said as he walked:

"Now we are going to play the role of a person who has been poor for a long time, and if you search so much, it will make people think that the three hundred taels of silver given by Qiao Daochang are fake...... Walking around, I am so happy when I think of Master Lu respectfully calling the donor in front of me. ”

In the past, he was beaten by a big monk in Peach Blossom Mountain, his daughter-in-law was gone, his marriage was gone, and the dowry of twenty garlic gold was gone.

Now I finally have a chance to get angry, and I have to take advantage of it!

After Xie Yingdeng finished eating tofu, he saw that the two little beggars were eating the buns and Hu cakes given by Zhou Tong, and instructed the shopkeeper:

"Make a bowl of hot tofu for each of them, and I'll give you the money."

"Okay, Master Dao, you are really kind-hearted."

The shopkeeper praised and deliberately filled some more tofu, Xie Yingdeng went to the side to buy a few steamed buns and cakes, and stuffed them with a few taels of silver to the two little beggars:

"If you can't find anything to eat in the future, go to Fengmingxuan Restaurant and tell the shopkeeper there, saying that Daoist Xie asked you to eat, and you don't have to worry about other things."

After speaking, he patted the heads of the two children and walked in the direction of Kaiyuan Temple.

After crossing an intersection, I saw Li Zhong Zhoutong again.

The two had just come out of a ready-to-wear store, and Zhou Tong was wearing a very handsome white boy's suit, and a flower was elegantly inserted on his head.

"Twenty-two sets of clothes, it's really different!"

Zhou Tongsao sorted out his clothes, and felt that the eyes projected around him had become different.

Li Zhong chose a dark suit...... It's not that he likes this style, but this set of clothes is only sold for eight taels, which is more than half cheaper than Zhou Tong's.

At this time, at the gate of Kaiyuan Temple, the garrison general Fan Xingping turned over from a healthy horse, and the two sedan chairs behind him also stopped on the side of the road, and his wife Sun and daughter Xianglan walked out of the sedan chair in turn.

Sun holds a basket of carefully prepared offerings, and her daughter also holds a string of Buddhist beads in her hand as a sign of piety.

Fan Xingping said to his daughter:

"When I see the master in it later, you must be polite, although the matter of marriage pays attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, but the father will not push you into the fire pit."

Xianglan blessed him:

"My daughter is not filial, so my father bothered."

"Don't mention this again, let's go, I made an appointment for my father yesterday, don't let the masters wait for a long time."

A family of three walked to the temple, followed by two porters, this is a gift for the monks, are some shoes, socks, candles and other items, do not need to be placed on the table, just pick it in.

Coming to the mountain gate along the steps, the monk who was in charge of dealing with the believers led the first seat, the elders and others to greet him, including Lu Zhishen, who was obviously two circles larger.

"The general has worked hard all the way, and please come in to drink tea."

The first one straightened the robe on his body and took the initiative to say hello.

Although the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, the person in front of him was the highest military governor of Zhending Mansion, and he couldn't be lazy.

Fan Xingping returned the salute and greeted the monks one by one, but when he saw Lu Zhishen, he hesitated.

This head, one punch can stun me, right?

He saw that Lu Zhishen was wearing a red robe that only high-ranking monks had, and took the initiative to ask the first seat for advice:

"I don't know who this monk's name is?"

"This is the abbot invited by Zen Master Zhiyuan for this temple, the legal name is Zhishen, and he is still familiar with it...... Master Zhishen has a lot of experience in marriage, and General Fan can be close to him. ”

After the introduction of the first seat, Lu Zhishen hurriedly walked over and respectfully performed the Buddha salute:

"The little monk has seen General Fan!"

As soon as he heard that Lu Zhishen was good at marriage, all three members of the Fan family looked at it.

Today's incense is for marriage, but I didn't expect a new mage who is good at marriage in the temple, is Xianglan's fate coming?

It's just that this master doesn't look like he is talking about marriage, but like the Dharma Protector Tianzun.

Sun hurriedly pulled Xianglan to salute, and the group walked into the three gates of Kaiyuan Temple, worshiped the four protectors of King Kong in the doorway, and then passed through the doorway and went to the Daxiong Hall to worship the Buddha.

The sound of wooden fish in the hall is bursting, and the strong smell of incense and candles makes people unconsciously relax.

The monks sitting on both sides are chanting sutras, and the sound of Sanskrit music calms everyone's mood.

Sun led his daughter to worship the host of the temple first, and then put the offerings in the basket on the offering table one by one, and after placing them, Fan Xingping took the incense and candles handed by the monk and began to worship the Buddha.

At Fu Yin's house, as soon as Yan Qing arrived in his room, Qiao Daoqing appeared.

"After following all night, Zhending Mansion does have a tight organization, but for the time being, it seems that it is mainly to inquire about intelligence, and nothing else has been done."

"Let's hope we don't ruin our plans...... Oh yes, the senior monk who invited Master Lu to be the abbot was his uncle, the senior brother of Elder Zhizhen. ”

Yan Qing spoke briefly, and then asked:

"Elder Zhizhen is so powerful, his senior brother should be stronger, right?"

Qiao Daochang smiled and shook his head:

"Among their senior brothers, Elder Zhizhen should be the strongest, because he gave up all his obsessions and just wanted to make the human race prosperous, on the other hand, this Zhiyuan Zen Master, he has never been able to let go of Kaiyuan Temple in his heart."

If you have an obsession, it means that your cultivation is not enough.

As for Elder Zhiming, who gave Yue Fei the Liquan Divine Spear, his realm was not low, and his apprentice Daoyue later became Yue Lei's master.

Among the several senior brothers, the realm of Elder Zhiqing, the abbot of the Great Xiangguo Temple, should be the lowest.

Lu Zhishen traveled thousands of miles to defect, and Elder Zhizhen also said in the letter that Zhishen will achieve a fruitful position in the future, which is unlimited, and he must arrange a position for his junior brother.

But Elder Zhiqing saw Zhishen and read the letter, not only did he not think that Lu Zhishen had any wisdom, but he was very disgusted, and complained in front of his apprentice that the senior brother "didn't know", and finally just arranged a position to look at the vegetable garden casually.

And Elder Zhizhen, the first time he saw Lu Zhishen, he knew that this apprentice could become a Buddha in the future.

Later, Song Jiang and others prepared to return to the court after beating Tian Hu, and followed Lu Zhishen to visit Elder Zhizhen, and the old monk opened his mouth and told everyone about their fate.

In terms of realm, the judgment is made from above.

Yan Qing said with a smile:

"Living in a prosperous city like Tokyo for a long time, it is inevitable that the monks will be a little philistine, I don't know if Master Lu will become secular when he becomes the abbot this time."

Qiao Daoqing smiled lightly:

"Naturally not, he is wearing the Buddha beads blessed by Nuwa Niangniang herself, and he will always maintain his sincerity...... When Zen Master Zhiyuan saw him, he invited him to be the abbot, and the string of human bone Buddha beads should have played a great role. ”

For Zen Master Zhiyuan, it doesn't matter if Lu Zhishen understands Buddhism or not, who is standing behind him is the most important.

The Buddha beads blessed by the saint himself are like a light in the dark for the monks, not to mention Zhiyuan, even if they are replaced by Jizo and others, they will be moved.

After Qiao Daoqing left, Yan Qing came to a meditation room in the backyard and said respectfully:

"Old lady Qiqi, there is a new monk in Kaiyuan Temple, who is proficient in Buddhism, I don't know if you want to go and worship and pray for your family."

The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and an old voice sounded inside:

"Let people send a hundred taels of silver to make sesame oil money first, and then the old man will go to worship in a few days."

"Yes, the little ones will do it."

Soon, Yan Qing paid a sum of money from the account room, left the Yin family with two family members, and went straight to Kaiyuan Temple.

"General, please have tea!"

In the meditation room of Kaiyuan Temple, the monk respectfully offered tea and snacks to the Fan Xingping family who worshiped the Buddha.

Fan Xingping took two sips of tea, and said a few words of nonsense, and then asked:

"Dare to ask when Master Zhishen will come? Ben would have some doubts and wanted him to answer. ”

"General, wait a minute, Master Zhishen will come over soon."

As he was talking, Lu Zhishen pushed the door and walked in, Fan Xingping's family quickly got up, and after greeting again, everyone sat down as the guest of honor.

"I heard that the mage is proficient in marriage?"

As a military general, Fan Xingping doesn't like any twists and turns, and he mentioned marriage straight to the point.

Lu Zhishen was also straightforward, and asked with a smile:

"Is the general disturbed by Ling Yan's marriage?"

The two were so direct, which made Xianglan a little embarrassed, Sun wanted to leave with his daughter, and wanted to hear what the new mage had to say, so he had to pick up a piece of shortbread and hand it to his daughter, so that she could eat two bites first.

Fan Xingping bowed again:

"The little girl Xianglan is gentle and virtuous, and now she is over sixteen years old, and she still can't find a good family, so I ask Master Zhishen to show the way."

Can't you find a good family? It's the Cao family who ignores you...... Lu Zhishen complained in his heart and started to fight:

"The theory of marriage pays attention to fate, and it must not be forced, let alone with a utilitarian heart...... The poor monk once saw someone who had chosen to find a superior home, but within three years, he suffered an unjustified disaster because of the disobedience of the head of the family; I have also seen marrying a poor scholar, and in the coming year, he will be named on the gold list and become a pillar of the imperial court......"

It's true, and he's really a master of marriage...... Fan Xingping couldn't sit still, got up and saluted, and took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and gave it:

"Please tell the holy monk what to do with the little girl's marriage...... Ben will give me a hundred taels of sesame oil here, and please smile. ”

Damn, the matchmaker is quite profitable...... Lu Zhishen was frightened by the generosity of the garrison general.

He saw that Xianglan was really good, and when he thought of the marriage promised Zhou Tong, he felt that he could make a match, first, to repay the cause and effect of the original marriage, and second, to get in touch with the garrison general.

If you can really get married, when the Lantern Festival starts, this pandan girl will be able to escape.

As for Zhou Tong's kid, although his martial arts are mediocre and he looks thin, he has nothing to say about his character, especially after joining Qilin Village, he has done all his work diligently.

Turning back and following Uncle Liu Huang and mixing up with the dragon's skills, the Fan family suddenly climbed high.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhishen had an idea:

"The matter of marriage, the poor monk does not dare to say anything, he can only see that Ling Yan will meet the fate of fate before sunset today, and it is still in this Kaiyuan Temple."

Well, I'll use the walkie-talkie to tell Brother Zhou Tongxian later, let him dress up handsome and come to Kaiyuan Temple immediately, if you can't catch it before sunset, the will be called out for him!

In order to make this matter successful, Monk Hua pretended to pinch for a while:

"He is not a local, and he comes from a humble background, but his future achievements far surpass those of generals, so that he will never be wronged if he follows him...... More specifically, the little monk can't figure it out. ”

Fan Xingping, as a garrison general, his grade is not low, he didn't expect that his future son-in-law would far surpass him, and rubbed his hands excitedly:

"Can the holy monk tell which family it is?"

"I only know the surname Zhou...... The poor monk has just arrived, and he is ignorant of Zhending Mansion, so he asks the general for forgiveness. ”

I was worried about how to emphasize that I was new here, and I didn't expect Fan Xingping to take the initiative to help with the patch, so I rushed to this tacit understanding, and I had to say that this marriage was done.

Sun didn't expect good news to come, she happily took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Zhishen:

"Please also ask the holy monk to calculate again, the good son-in-law's dress, after the matter is completed, our family will have another thanks."

Such a good son-in-law can't be robbed, he has to start in advance.

Although Xianglan kept her head down and didn't speak, her ears were ridged, and she wanted to know what her future husband would look like.

You're in too much of a hurry, aren't you...... Lu Zhishen pretended to be calculating, while recalling Zhou Tong's favorite color of clothes.

This guy once saw his husband in white, and longed for himself to look in white...... Otherwise, forget about white, and when it's over, I quickly use the walkie-talkie to tell this guy that even if I rob it, I have to wear white clothes to come to the temple quickly.

After making up his mind, Lu Zhishen opened his eyes and pretended to be relieved.

Fan Xingping took the initiative to serve him tea:

"Thanksgiving Saint Monk, how's it going?"

Lu Zhishen took a sip of tea, and then said:

"Dressed in white...... The little monk's mana is low, and he can't see it clearly if he is specific, so please forgive me. ”

Fan Xingping hurriedly thanked him, and asked Xianglan to also thank the holy monk.

The family happily left the meditation room, ready to stay for a meal, and by the way, ask if there is anything in the temple that needs help, within the scope of authority, the garrison general can do a lot of things for the temple.

Lu Zhishen didn't bother a few people, passed through the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and planned to go back and call Zhou Tong with the walkie-talkie, but at this time Zhiyuan Zen Master was looking for him, Zhishen was helpless, so he had to go to see the master first.

When he came to the front yard, Fan Xingping was just about to sit under the osmanthus tree for a while, but Sun grabbed his sleeve and kept glancing at the door:

"Husband, look!"

Fan Xingping raised his head and saw a slightly thin young man coming in at the gate, who happened to be dressed in clean white clothes with a kind smile on his face, like a handsome noble son in the sun.

Xianglan looked over, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, and couldn't help but sneak a pee......

Fan Xingping strode over and directly stopped Zhou Tong, who was about to find Lu Zhishen pretending to be forced:

"May I ask your surname?"

"Don't have your surname Zhou."

"But the locals?"

"No, I'm an out-of-towner."

Fan Xingping's mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears, but for the sake of safety, he still asked again:

"Do you have a match?"

"No, the family is poor and ugly, and no one looks down on ......"

The master is really a god and a man...... Fan Xingping suppressed his excitement and asked Zhou Tong:

"I am a local garrison general, and the little girl in the family is over sixteen years old, and I want to marry you, I wonder if the son can agree?"

What?

Are you the garrison general of Zhending Mansion?

Zhou Tongzheng was worried about how to make a career in the Ministry of Intelligence, but he didn't expect the opportunity to be delivered in front of him.

This guy has a lively brain, and immediately knelt down and saluted:

"Father-in-law, please bow to your son-in-law!"

After speaking, he glanced at Xianglan sitting under the osmanthus tree, and was even more happy in his heart, he didn't expect the garrison general's daughter to be so beautiful, and her mouth was sweeter, for fear that Fan Xingping would regret it.

Haha, marriage came too fast like a tornado, our little overlord is out of order!

Just as he was happy, Zhou Tong felt a chill in his neck, and the good luck cat jade pendant given by Mr. Li seemed to be broken......
