[Chapter 1070 Entering the Temple]

In the eyes of the fat monk, there is nothing wrong with one tael of silver.

But just as Jing Zhe said, this was a lie told by the thin monk, indicating that the price of long incense is much more than that!

So he asked in a low voice: “How much money did you actually spend on this incense? It must be more than one tael, right?”

Jing Zhe nodded and gave the fat monk a thumbs up, with a look of admiration on his face.

“The eminent monk is really good at predicting things!”

“Stop flattering me!”

The fat monk interrupted Jing Zhe and said angrily: “Hurry up and tell me how much you sold!”

He couldn’t wait now.

Jing Zhe shook his head, looking a little embarrassed: “Eminent monk, but that eminent monk told me that as long as I tell you the price of one tael of silver, I can’t tell you the original price!”

“I tell you to say it! The fat

monk

was afraid of being discovered. He glanced around and lowered his voice deliberately, saying, “If you don’t tell me the original price, believe it or not, I won’t let you enter the temple to participate in the Peach Blossom Poetry Party.”

“Don’t bother me, eminent monk !”

It’s already twenty taels of silver. If you don’t let me participate in the Peach Blossom Poetry Club, thank you!”

“Twenty taels of silver?

” Come, confused and said: “If you don’t sell incense quickly, what are you shouting about?”

“No… nothing…”

The fat monk woke up this time and hurriedly waved his hand. Then the tall monk turned back and continued selling incense.

Jing Zhe, on the other hand, deliberately covered his mouth with a self-blame look on his face, as if he had let something slip. This expression fell in the eyes of the fat monk, and he was convinced of the price of twenty taels of silver.

In fact, the reason why Jing Zhe went to so much trouble and deliberately fabricated such a high price was just to make the thin monk and the fat monk bite each other.

He just punched the thin monk unconscious, but he couldn’t kill him, so it wouldn’t take long for the thin monk to wake up and enter the temple to cause trouble for him.

Therefore, he deliberately put on a show, and the fat monk is now convinced of it. Even if the thin monk wakes up later and says that he was beaten by Jing Zhe and did not get a penny, the fat monk will definitely think that he He deliberately wanted to keep the twenty taels of silver for himself and would not believe him.

When the time comes, the fat monk will help hold the thin monk back so that he has no time to worry about anything else, so you don’t have to worry about him causing trouble for you again.

Sure enough, the fat monk was now completely convinced.

In fact, this is not only because Jing Zhe is good at acting, but because the thin monk is usually this kind of person. He originally made an agreement with the fat monk to drag out rich people alone to blackmail them whenever he sees them. Once, the money they extorted would be split 50-50 between the two of them. But every time the thin monk went out, the money he extorted was not much. He also said that if he wanted more, he would not be given at all. The fat monk was a little suspicious, but he suffered from the lack of evidence. .

Now Jing Zhe’s words have completely confirmed his many guesses. It seems that it was also the case before. It’s not that the thin monk didn’t ask for the money, but he paid for it himself! The reason why the thin monk did this was because he was addicted to gambling. Whenever he had money, he would go down the mountain to gamble. He already owed a lot of debt. Now that he had sold twenty taels of silver, he couldn’t wait to run down the mountain.

“This bastard! I’m not done with him this time!”

the fat monk said through gritted teeth.

“What did the eminent monk say?”

Jing Zhe asked with a “curious” look on his face.

“Nothing.”

The fat monk said.

“Hurry up and buy it, why are you so slow?”

“Yeah, I’m just waiting for a long time to decide whether to buy it or not?”

“If you don’t want to buy it, hurry up and come out, don’t delay our business!”

At this time, the people behind saw the side The people in line kept moving forward, but their team was stagnant. They were immediately dissatisfied and began to urge.

“Senior monk, can I go in?”

After Jing Zhe asked, the fat monk took out a short incense stick, “You can buy another short incense stick. You don’t need twenty taels, just give me ten taels!”

” …”

Jing Zhe was stunned at this time. He didn’t expect that the fat monk was so dark. He was so anxious. When he heard that the thin monk “sold for twenty taels of silver,” he planned to rob him openly.

“Too many.”

“Five taels will do.”

“Don’t buy it.”

“If that doesn’t work, three taels is fine, at least three taels, no less! You can even afford twenty taels of silver, three taels What does money mean to you?”

the fat monk said seriously.

“Three taels of silver really mean nothing to me, but I have already bought long incense, so there is no reason to buy short incense!”

“You can’t enter if you don’t buy short incense!”

“If the eminent monk doesn’t let me in…”

Jing Zhe sneered, and then said loudly: “My long-lasting incense cost two–“

“Hurry in, hurry in!”

The fat monk broke into a cold sweat when he heard Jing Zhe shouting, and hurriedly moved him forward. He pulled him and pushed him into the temple.

Are you kidding? If he confesses the thin monk, wouldn’t that also implicate him?

…

The previous story was just a small episode and did not affect Jing Zhe’s mood.

After entering Peach Blossom Temple, Jing Zhe realized that the reason why Peach Blossom Temple was called Peach Blossom Temple was not just because it was located on Peach Blossom Mountain, or the patches of Peach Blossom Mountain outside the temple.

Because there are also peach trees planted in the Peach Blossom Temple, and the varieties seem to be different from those outside the temple, because Jing Zhe walked all the way down the mountain and saw that although the peach blossoms blooming on the mountain were red, most of them were pink. , it’s just that the pink trees are stacked together, and at a glance, the whole mountain is red.

However, the peach blossoms on the peach trees in the Peach Blossom Temple are all bright red, and the colors are extremely bright. Compared with the peach trees on Peach Blossom Mountain, the number of peach trees in the temple is not large, but the colors are even better.

This is also the reason why the Peach Blossom Poetry Club is not held directly on Peach Blossom Mountain, but it is held in Peach Blossom Temple as an “unnecessary step”, right?

This Peach Blossom Temple is very large. Although tourists and students are constantly walking in, it is not crowded, and people who enter the temple all walk into the hall with incense.

Jing Zhe also followed the flow of people to the hall and found a giant Buddha standing in the center of the hall, shining with golden light, ten meters high and unusually impressive.

But the strange thing is that this giant Buddha is holding a few peach blossoms carved from unknown materials. The originally sacred image suddenly looks nondescript and very funny.

Sure enough, it is Peach Blossom Mountain, Peach Blossom Temple, and even the Big Buddha is a Peach Blossom Immortal. It is really awesome.

However, everyone is accustomed to this and is not surprised. After entering the temple, they all come to the foot of the Peach Blossom Buddha, kneel down and offer incense. Many people also put incense money into the merit box at the foot of the Buddha, and then kneel down and worship. They are full of piety.

Standing at the foot of the giant Buddha was an old monk who looked like the abbot of Peach Blossom Temple. There were two middle-aged monks standing beside him. When they saw someone throwing incense and money, they both nodded and chanted sutras. .
