I Was an Abbot in Ancient Times

The group of men with weak crowns were all wearing silk and satin gowns, and they looked very wealthy.

Facing their request, Lin Zhao just agreed.

"The poor monk has received suggestions from all benefactors for the development of this temple."

A few impatient ones stepped forward, pushed to the table where the lottery was unwrapped, and asked:

"When will the hut be repaired?"

Lin Zhao was as still as the wind, his face was still calm, his eyes were peaceful, and the corner of his mouth was smiling.

"The poor monk doesn't know either."

Hitting a nail that is neither soft nor hard, the rich and young masters can no longer press, they are not robbers, no matter how much they want, they must respect their masters.

They all backed out slowly.

One was of medium height, with a round body, and his eyes were cleverly placed at the back, and he retracted his legs before stepping out of the threshold.

Leaning close to Lin Zhao, he whispered to him: "Abbot, no matter when the hut is repaired, I will book a room with you first, please..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his rival, who had been looking at him displeased and staring at his every move, grabbed his belt and pulled him back.

The man also shouted loudly: "Pang Yu, you sneak up and stay behind, what are you whispering to the abbot, and let us all listen to it!"

When the young masters in front heard this call, they didn't know that someone was getting close to the abbot, trying to get ahead of him.

When Pang Yu saw that everyone was back, he couldn't hide it, so he told Lin Zhao, "Anyway, abbot, you must remember me. My name is Pang Yu. I booked No. 1... No. 1 with you!"

He wanted to say later that the young masters who had already reacted swarmed to the back, so he could only shout "No. 1".

In the end, it was overwhelmed by other people's calls, and there were so many people that Lin Zhao couldn't even remember the number in the queue.

Li Wenyuan and Miss Wang came in while talking, seeing Lin Zhao being dazed by a group of crazy young masters, hurried over to help.

Knowing the whole story, she felt very ashamed of Lin Zhao, but she never thought that a drunken remark would cause so many troubles.

At this point, we can only use a pen and paper to help the abbot register the number of people scheduled.

The dormitories hadn't been repaired yet, and the number of people had already reached the eighties, which made Lin Zhao quite a headache.

Of course not so many people really came, it was this group of people who also left numbers for their relatives and friends.

The wealthy young masters thought it would take a long time to repair the temple, but when they came back ten days later, this group of people found that the abbot had completely renovated all ten huts!

Lin Zhao spent nearly one hundred and fifty taels of silver to repair the ten huts and buy the same supporting facilities. Seeing that the deposit was reduced from more than 200 taels to 50 taels.

Don't need him to worry about money, this group of rich young masters knows how to put twenty, fifty, and one hundred dollars into the merit box. The money bag came back with a bang, and it swelled to nearly one thousand taels of silver.

Half of the ten huts are single rooms and half are double rooms. The first batch of 15 people moved in, and there are dozens of people left.

They stared blankly, and secretly worried. They didn't specify the time limit for moving in. What if these people occupy the place for several years, relatives and friends also come, and even children and grandchildren are endlessly scarce?

Then didn't these people wait until their hair turned gray and they had no chance to step into the coffin?

So these dozens of people found Lin Zhao again, sat around and helped Lin Zhao analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the temple squatter's stipulated occupancy period.

In fact, for Lin Zhao, it doesn't matter who lives in the same place, but he doesn't worry about being few, but about unevenness. If he doesn't agree, what will happen to this group of people who don't have enough humanities to come to martial arts?

Anyway, it was not me who had agreed to suffer, so I let them make trouble, so I set up new regulations for the lay people who stayed overnight.

The maximum time for a reservation cannot exceed three months, and the occupant must be in the name of the person who made the reservation, and cannot be resold or resold.

In this way, the problem of staying in squatter dwellers will be solved.

After a long time, every year, several groups of people will retreat and study in Qingquan Temple every March. Over time, March is called a semester, and those who live in the same semester call each other the same period.

Speaking back to Lin Zhao, because of the large number of scholars vying for the overnight stay, the Qingquan Temple became famous, and many people became curious about this temple.

There are rumors in the countryside that this abbot has gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, obtained the scriptures and Buddhist teachings, and returned to revive the temple.

Many people who inquired about the news secretly murmured:

At the beginning, Qingquan Temple was only a lonely temple in the deep mountains. Because of a Chinese cabbage, it won the trust of several villagers in Wushui Village. Linghe has many noble merchants, and finally made the county magistrate and these noble merchants become loyal believers.

Now scholars, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and people from almost all walks of life are fascinated by Qingquan Temple. What magic power does it have?

With such curiosity in mind, they rushed to Qingquan Temple one after another, which led to another wave of incense burning in the temple.

[Ding Dong—Congratulations, the temple incense has reached 102, the reputation has reached 80, unlocked [AI monk x1], and all lv1 facilities are fully open. 】

Not long after the notification sound, the gate of the temple was knocked.

It was seven o'clock at night, and there were no other pilgrims except the lay monks staying overnight.

Lin Zhao opened the door expectantly, thinking what kind of monk will he be this time?

He opened the door, and a monk in a khaki robe with a black shabby bag hanging on his chest saluted him with clasped hands.

"Good evening, Abbot."

[Ding dong—Bushi has appeared! 】

He looks younger than Shantong, four or five years older than Buer, chubby, with a naturally smiling face, and looks very kind.

Lin Zhao took him to Sengliao. Both Buer and Shantong welcomed this new partner, especially Buer, who actively put the bedding next to him.

Buse quickly integrated into the temple by virtue of his personal charm.

With manpower, you can go to alms to get unlocked items, and reinstall the ground and walls of the Temple of Heavenly Kings.

Lin Zhao tapped his chin lightly, which monk should we send?

Shantong is responsible for the food in the temple, but Buer is too young, only Buer is suitable.

Click on the uncolored property panel to view,

[Character: Not color (smiling eyes and lips, very easy to get close to)

Stamina: 10

Comprehension: 5

Charm: 40

Talent: Lack of Wisdom

Gift props [details]]

Well, the charm value is so high, it is very suitable for seeking alms.

The description behind the name also shows that it is easy to gain the favor of others without sex.

it is good! It's up to you, no color.

On a sunny morning, Lin Zhao asked Shantong to prepare melon and fruit snacks, and carried a bag for Buse to pack them all.

The three people in the whole temple stood at the door, unable to give up.

Fuji took a step forward, "No color, you have to come back early."

Lin Zhao warned, "Remember to bring back clods of soil and wood for alms."

Hearing this, Buer glanced at him suspiciously.

Shantong helped Buse organize his satchel.

He said goodbye to them with a smile, and left very freely and briskly.

At this moment, Bu Er asked, "Abbot, the temple is not short of food or drink, why do you need to go for alms?" The clods and logs were still melted, so why can't you pick them up by yourself?

Lin Zhao smiled, "Because it is a necessary practice." Of course, he also tried the soil clods and logs he picked up, but they all failed. They must be obtained through begging to be effective.

As for why? It is for practice.

Amitabha, goodness is goodness.

Damn the system.

About three or four days later, Buse came back with what Lin Zhao needed.

Lin Zhao clicked on the construction list of the Temple of Heavenly Kings. When buying the bluestone floor and the stucco wall, the prompt of [Insufficient Items] did not appear again.

The AI ​​engineering team was dispatched to paint the walls and re-lay the floor tiles. There are no more cracked and peeling walls, and no uneven floors.

The entire Temple of Heavenly Kings has taken on a completely new look. Compared with the mud statue with only a vague face in the first sky, it has been completely reborn.

After the decoration was completed, the pilgrims all praised the new abbot's ability, and Lin Zhao felt a little proud.

[System: Recently, the residents staying overnight have reported that the bell tower in the temple has collapsed for a long time, the abbot should quickly find a way to rebuild it! 】

Lin Zhao: "..."

It really feels like it's been a long time since I saw the system issue a task.

#About my pilgrims and laymen are more anxious than me to rebuild the temple#

It seems that it is impossible to repair the clock tower through the system AI engineering team, and we have to ask Yuanwai Zhou for help in this matter.

It just so happened that Mrs. Zhou fell in love with the temple and came to eat fast these days. I saw her almost every day, so I asked her to convey it.

Half a month later, a group of skilled craftsmen came to the temple.

Here, the skilled craftsmen who build temples and temples are called "Dagong", representing the highest level.

Thanks to Zhou Yuanwai, Lin Zhao himself really couldn't invite so many great workers.

It took about two months for the clock tower to be repaired.

When it rang the first ethereal and melodious bell, the resident lay who stood beside Lin Zhao and watched the completion ceremony together spoke.

"The abbot is really meticulous. Everyone said two months ago that there was a lack of time-reporting buildings, so it was repaired."

Lin Zhao gave him a death gaze, no, an indifferent gaze.

Staying layman: ...the abbot is really indifferent.

The main function of the bell tower is to tell the time, and the monks on duty will ring the bell every morning and evening.

In addition, bells and drums are also sounded at special times, such as when holding a grand puja ceremony or welcoming important guests such as eminent monks and great virtues, bells and drums are sounded as etiquette or orders.

[Congratulations, you have successfully built the bell tower and received rewards [Haystack x1], [Clean Water Bead x1]]

Lin Zhao clicked on the details.

[Item Name: Haystack (air-dried haystack)

Attributes: Wind and cold resistance at night, comfortable backrest

Condition: rebuild the clock tower. 】

[Item Name: Water Purification Bead (seems to be a bead blessed by the gods)

Attributes: Putting it into water has the buff of exorcising evil spirits and strengthening the body

Condition: rebuild the clock tower. 】

Lin Zhao was very happy, these two things are very useful.

Put the clean water into the well, and put the haystack on the bell tower.

[System: The bell tower has just been repaired, and someone should be on duty to watch the night, so go in and have a look!

Please complete the mission and assign a monk to be on duty. 】

The bell tower is built on the left side of the Hall of Heavenly Kings. After climbing up, you can overlook the lotus pond, the gate of the temple and the entire area of ​​the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

Lin Zhao looked at the wind, thought for a long time, and finally decided to let Buse be on duty.

Alas, there are too few people in the temple, it would be great if someone would take the initiative to deliver it to your door.

If he is always tired and dull, his conscience will also hurt.

Out of guilt, Lin Zhao stuffed a lot of food, dried fruit, candy, pastries, melons and fruits were not attractive.

The AI ​​monk doesn't know what kind of black technology it is. That M is produced by some galaxy. It eats, drinks and sleeps like a normal person, which is not suspicious at all.
