The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 325
After Tongqing Temple officially opened for business, more and more pilgrims came to offer incense and pray for blessings.

It's just that compared to the time when Huiji was hosting, although the popularity can't be said to have plummeted, it's not as good as before.

However, this didn't have much impact on Pei Wende, it would be better to say that fewer pilgrims came, and his task was easier.

As for income?It is not a big problem for any successful practitioner.

The big deal is to learn from Zen master Lingyou's practice and go to a dry village to recite a section of the Dragon King Sutra. Naturally, the local gentry will take the initiative to send money to the door.

Besides, to be honest, during the period of taking over Tongqing Temple, Pei Wende actually discovered some tricks.

Whenever Tongqing Temple is short of something, there will always be pilgrims who come to offer incense "in time" and deliver the food, oil, rice and salt that are in short supply in the temple.

Once or twice is okay, but once more, even people like Pei Wende who don't care much about details can see the clues.

Is this someone helping Tongqing Temple?

Once this idea popped up in my mind, I couldn't let it go.

Because Pei Wende could completely imagine who and why paid so much attention to Tongqing Temple.

Except for Pei Hui who claimed to be her sister, who else could have such a big hand and motive?
In order to prove his own judgment, Pei Wende also deliberately revealed that he needed a batch of high-quality iron ingots and medicinal materials "inadvertently" when receiving pilgrims.

As a result, less than the next day, a group of traveling merchants came to Tongqing Temple to pray for blessings, and the goods "just happened" to bring the iron ingots and medicinal materials that Pei Wende needed.

For a while, Pei Wende didn't know how to complain.

Fortunately, Pei Hui seemed to have figured out Pei Wende's character, she had to collect what was due, and she had to pay for running errands.

Although the operation of this "exclusive express delivery" was outrageous enough, it can be seen that Pei Wende didn't care too much when he really lacked various medicinal materials and iron ingots.

In other words, Pei Wende's character is to use this kind of "soft knife" method.

The only thing that Pei Wende doesn't know is, what should he use to repay this affection in the future?
......................................................................................................

"Master, your grandson is sure to be fine, so you can rest assured to wait for him to come back at home!"

After skillfully unwrapping the lottery for an old man in a nearby village, Pei Wende turned his head and motioned for Zhang Chusheng next to him to come up and help him.

This old man is a frequent visitor to Tongqing Temple. At this time of year, he would go up the mountain to pray for his grandson who is away from home.

After a long time, Pei Wende didn't even need to ask the other party for details, as soon as the old man went up the mountain, he knew what he wanted to ask.

Like the old people, there are also those familiar pilgrims, most of them just ask some fixed things when they go up the mountain.

Or worried about the children at home, or worried about this year's harvest...

After working as a "miaozhu" for a long time, Pei Wende found that his task was not so much to solve the lottery, but rather to be more like a psychiatrist for later generations.

After all, there are some things that you can know the result at a glance, so there is no need to pray to God or worship Buddha.

And most of these pilgrims who came to ask for a lottery just came to ask for peace of mind, and didn't really want to get any information from Pei Wende.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Seeing the scene where the old man was leaving with Zhang Chusheng's support and still not forgetting to thank him, Pei Wende suddenly grinned in a self-deprecating manner.

[Is this what this era really looks like? 】

[Suddenly I miss the 21st century in my previous life, at least I don't have to be a magic stick here. 】

Thinking so, Pei Wende turned his attention to the next pilgrim holding a sign.

It was a young man that Pei Wende had never seen before, and the other party did not seem to be a villager living nearby.

And judging from his appearance and figure, he is obviously not the kind of farmer who does manual labor, but rather looks like a pampered young master in a big family.

But the average young master of a rich family would not climb up Weishan Mountain alone to ask for a lottery at Tongqing Temple.

[A rich young master who has fallen into poverty?Or a poor scholar who wants to go to Beijing to catch the exam? 】

Pei Wende, who was used to seeing all kinds of beings, did not show any obvious expression, but raised his hand to signal the other party to sit in front of him first.

"Is the young master going up the mountain this time to seek fate? For money? Or for an official?"

Different from the "temple wish" imagined by young people, Pei Wende straight to the point asked what most of the applicants asked for.

Even though the young man didn't come here for these things, he couldn't help being a little surprised at Pei Wende's straightforwardness.

"Seeking fate? Seeking money? Seeking an official?"

"Can you give me the answer to all the questions I ask?"

It seems to be disdainful, and it seems to be just a simple question...

The young man's voice was not too loud, but it seemed to be the only voice in the entire temple at this moment.

[The visitor is not good! 】

The pupils constricted unconsciously, and such a thought suddenly flashed in Pei Wende's mind.

Because during the period when Pei Wende succeeded Hui Ji as "Miao Zhu", he had already met many practitioners who came for Hui Ji, and each of them had their own intentions.

Either to get acquainted with the legendary "Little Sakyamuni", or simply want to seek the "Fate Law" on the road...

But no matter which family of practitioners, they did not show the general clumsiness that is close to "returning to the basics" like the young people, as if they were really just ordinary people who went up the mountain to ask for a lottery.

"Little master, you haven't answered my question yet?"

Gently knocking on the table in front of him, the young man continued to ask questions as if nothing had happened.

"Cough cough..."

It wasn't until this time that Pei Wende coughed dryly and came back to his senses, and then he realized that he seemed to have fallen for the way of the person in front of him unconsciously.

"who are you?"

Pei Wende actually didn't want to ask such a question, because in his impression, the person who usually asks this question is either a trash fish or a villain, and they often don't get the correct answer.

But facing this mysterious and unpredictable young man in front of him, Pei Wende felt that he still had to figure out the other party's intentions first.

"Haha, little master, don't think too much, I'm just a simple sign-seeker today."

Having said that, the young man's tone paused for a moment, and he whispered in an extremely harmless and innocent tone.

"At least until you answer my question, I'm just an ordinary 'sign seeker'."

"And the question you just asked is exactly what I want to know."
