Chapter 167 Chen Caozhi

The statue of Nobita Buddha stands tall on the ground, with its left hand hanging down and a "Vote-giving seal" means that it can fulfill its lifelong wishes. The right hand bent and the arm stretches up, and a "Vote-giving seal" means that it can eliminate lifelong suffering... This is the Great Hall of Lingyin Temple.

On the incense table in front of the Buddha, a long lamp in the shape of a lotus petal was placed, but it had already been extinguished. The monk who cleaned the Main Hall was carefully taking it off and trying to take it away.

"Whose eternal lamp is this?" the woman kneeling on the cushion in front of the Buddha asked in a low voice.

The monk was stunned for a moment, thinking that the lady had been kneeling here for a while and had not spoken, but she didn't seem to be talking suddenly, which scared him. However, the Buddha was by his side, and he was not afraid. He opened his mouth and said, "He is a man named Chou'er. He should have a name... Chen Caozhi came, and it seems that he was still Du Zigong's disciple."

"Then why did you take down his eternal light? I've been here a few days ago. Although the light went out, it has never been taken down..." The woman's voice became smaller and smaller, and then there was a sudden turn, "Du Zigong's disciple? How could she place eternal lights in Lingyin Temple?"

"I got seriously ill and found some Taoists. I didn't get better. I could only turn my faith in our Buddhism..." The little monk walked while talking, "But who knows that his illness was later cured by those Taoists. It was just that it was not Taoists of Shangqing School, but the evolutionary school. It was difficult to tell. It was just that the Taoist cured him, and he believed in him again... Alas, this kind of person..."

The little monk disappeared, leaving only the woman and the maid next to her.

The maid said, "Miss, it's getting late. Let's go back. You have been praying here for a long time. Even Buddha should be moved by the girl's integrity."

The woman did not refuse, and stood up with the help of a maid, then folded her hands to the Buddha, lowered her head, and turned around and walked out of the Main Hall... It should be noon at this time, and there were not many pilgrims. The woman politely greeted the monks passing by and walked to the door. She saw Elder Ru, who was usually receiving her, standing there, and there was an unknown monk next to her, but she did not disturb her. She nodded politely and signaled, and then got on her own ox cart and left under the protection of the guards.

...

After watching the woman leave, the elder of monk Rushi Lingyin Temple watched the woman leave, he saw the monk next to him being a little confused, and said with a smile: "That is the noble daughter of Zhang, and the famous scholar Zhang Xuanzhi is his brother."

"Oh? Zhang Xuanzhi is also a famous saying. It's really strange that his sister actually believes in my Buddha..." The monk Ruo next to her sighed.

"It's not surprising. Since I was an elder in Lingyin Temple, I often encountered Taoists who turned to Buddhism. They were just hit and were drowsy. I needed my Buddha to solve his doubts. As for this noble lady of Zhang, I passed by the Main Hall that day and heard what she said, as if she was praying for Zhang Lu."

"Zhang Lu? Zhang Jinjue, is Zhang Jinjue, who doesn't like literature but loves martial arts?"

“That’s right.”

"If I remember correctly, Zhang Jinjue should be just her cousin..." Seng Ruo was really puzzled, "Why would this cousin..."

"In a quiet place in Buddhism, don't talk nonsense." Sengru scolded, "Zhang Jinjue is good at martial arts, so he should be kind to her. Now Zhang Jinjue is punished by Zhang for offending Wang Shuping, so she probably came for this... Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. How do you know about it when you go to see Bai Wu Zhenren?"

"This... I'll talk about it when I go to my senior brother's room."

Monk Ru nodded, took Monk Ruo into Lingyin Temple, closed the door in his living room, and then said, "Tell me."

"Whether it is a temple or a Shangqing Taoist temple, it seems that in Kuaiji County, it has been forced to a dead end by the Evolutionary Sect." Seng Ruo opened his mouth and said a surprising thing, "This is what I learned from Bai Wu Zhenren. The Evolutionary Sect Taoist worshipped Wang Shuping as a god, and Wang Shuping also took advantage of the position of county prefect to participate in the construction of the Evolutionary Sect Taoist temple. Now... In addition to a few families with persistence, most of the county people, even poor families, have turned to the Evolutionary Sect - senior brothers, this is very bad!"

Monkru sat upright and was surprised at the beginning of the story after listening to Monkru's words, but he was soon calm and did not agree with Monkru's final conclusion: "No matter whether it is the Evolutionary School or the Shangqing School, it has nothing to do with us. Moreover, if Junior Brother Zhenru said, Du Zigong of Qiantang will pay attention to it, and we can devote ourselves to practicing Buddhism."

After looking at the kind-eyed monk Ru, Seng Ru nodded: "I've been taught, what's going on over there is probably this. I hope my senior brother will think carefully... The coachman who sent me is still outside, so I'll send them some vegetarian meals."

As he said that, he exited from Sengru's room and closed the door. Sengruo smiled disdainfully and did not go to the kitchen to find vegetarian food. Instead, he walked out and came to the ox cart that was picking up his own. When the coachman saw him coming, he hurriedly gave up his seat and let him enter the carriage.

The person sitting inside was Bai Wu Zhenren.

"how?"

Monk Ruo shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Go to the Zhu family."

...

Wang Ningzhi was basically sure that Princess Yuyao had no other discomfort in having a skin relationship with her except for a little shyness, and she was a little staggering when walking. Because Li Lingrong no longer cared about her, Yu Nanzi sent someone to deliver a letter to let her live in the Xu family farm for a while, at least she had to take good care of her health.

He simply wasn't too entangled with such a relationship. After enjoying breakfast, he went to the county magistrate's office. Although he handled government affairs for a day yesterday and had done the data statistics, it did not mean that the matter was over. In fact, there were still many things. Just as the younger sister was about to get married, he had to make time, so he simply put his future work in these few days.

"Mr., this is the budget... The disaster relief funds have been used up until now." Supervisor Yang Ling handed over a document, "The two meals of refugees a day will be temporarily taken over by the county magistrate's office. At that time, the Taoist temple will be in charge, and the Taoist temple will only need to persist for one season."

Wang Ningzhi took the document, glanced briefly, then placed it on the desk, and said, "The local area still depends on your five supervisors. Pay more attention and report it quickly if something happens. If our methods are possible, promotion... is also necessary."

"Yes, I understand." Yang Ling showed joy.

After giving the explanation, Wang Ningzhi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is Li Lingrong... detained in Kuaiji County Prison?"

Li Yong next to him hurriedly said: "At present, we are in the county prison, Tingwei Shi and Tingwei Ping go to the court to reply, and it seems that there is still a need to discuss how to deal with it."
