Chapter 79

Inside Tongqing Temple, within the courtyard wall.

"Sure enough, no matter how many times I watch it, I have to admire that kid's luck!"

Standing next to the newly built Beauty Stream, Huiji looked at the canal in amazement, which traversed half of Weishan Mountain.

Huiji knew that from the moment this canal was built, even in the most water-scarce drought season, it is impossible for the entire Tongqing Temple to experience water shortage again.

"Beauty Stream? The name is quite meaningful."

One must know that this beauty stream was built under Huiji's nose, and it only took two or three months.

Not to mention its cost and scale, just to build such a huge canal in such a short period of time, this kind of courage and determination has surpassed most of the officials in this era.

It happened that such a "political achievement" that could be regarded as a promotion capital in this era, but its original intention was just that a wealthy nobleman spent a lot of money to build it for his younger brother who cared about him.

In addition, the renovated Tongqing Temple was built together.

Although due to the resolute attitude of Zen master Lingyou, the "big temple" envisioned by a certain nobleman was not built.

However, after the renovation, Tongqing Temple is no longer the simple mountain temple.

At the very least, Tongqing Temple has all the supporting equipment that a temple should have.

The most exaggerated thing is that Huiji even saw a land deed and documents stamped for the government one day—it was sent along with Pei Wende's bedding.

This shows that the existence of Tongqing Temple has been registered by the government, and it has become a formal temple recognized by the imperial court, with its own title deed and land documents.

And based on Huiji's understanding of Pei Hui, there is a high probability that the name written on the land deed document is Pei Wende.

"Isn't that what the kid said about the 'beloved brother madman'?"

He muttered in such a low voice, but the expression on Hui Ji's face unconsciously hesitated, because at this moment he remembered Pei Hui's last words before leaving.

[Little novice who is determined to reform, do you want the imperial court to recognize the orthodox status of Tongqing Temple? 】

Tongqing Temple in Weishan Mountain is not a famous mountain temple, even if it is not for the arrival of Zen Master Lingyou, this temple is still just a wild mountain temple.

Even so, Tongqing Temple, which has the title deed and documents, is not very prestigious, let alone recognized by the central court.

No matter how advanced the Buddhist lectures here are, it is impossible to be recognized by the vast majority of believers, let alone widely disseminated.

This is obviously not in line with Huiji's long-cherished wish of "I annotate the Buddhist scriptures, I annotate the Buddhist scriptures", let alone his plan to reform the existing Buddhist teachings.

Therefore, if Huiji wants to realize his long-cherished wish, the first step is to leave the place of temples and go to the secular world of temples to get the "power" he wants.

This was originally what Huiji would do in the future, but even he himself was not sure how long it would take him to achieve this goal.

However, Pei Hui's words before she left and her operation made Hui Ji see hope.

"If the dialogue between her and Master is correct, then 'The Son of Heaven' is the best opportunity."

There was no longer the expression of laughter before, Huiji at this moment appeared calm and solemn, just like those Buddhist masters who made great ambitions and were about to go against the sky.

"Perhaps, she is my 'noble person'."

Huiji's voice was firm and solemn, without any hesitation—because this was his lifelong wish.

So what about being proficient in Buddhist scriptures?
So what about magic tricks?
A manly man walks in the world, acquires good skills, but cannot show his ambitions, even if he lives as long as the sky, he is just a stubborn rock.

............................................................................................................

"Idiot..."

Zen Master Lingyou, who was sitting in the main hall quietly, seemed to have heard Huiji's words, and suddenly woke up from the state of tranquility, and then looked helplessly in the direction of the beauty stream.

"Is this the fate of our lineage?"

In the past, he had his own master——Chan Master Huaihai established the "Baizhang Qingrui".

Among them is himself, a crazy monk who does not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, "Chang'an Chaos Law".

But now, even his great apprentice, Huiji, is unwilling to be lonely, and has the delusional idea of ​​"I will annotate Buddhist scriptures and change Buddhism".

"Now I just hope that Wende can be a little quieter, otherwise I won't even have a funeral attendant."

With a slight sigh, Zen Master Lingyou closed his eyes again.

It's just that this time, it's hard for him to enter Gujing Bubo's trance state no matter what.

......................................................................................................

"Ah!"

Almost at the same time, Pei Wende, who was still punching under the waterfall to strengthen his body, suddenly sneezed, so frightened that he slipped and almost fell directly into the pool.

"Who's talking about me?"

Bracing against the impact of the waterfall to stabilize his body, Pei Wende looked in the direction of Tongqing Temple rather suspiciously.

In this world, there are only a few people who can talk about Pei Wende, and Zen Master Lingyou who is currently staying in Tongqing Temple is undoubtedly the most suspected one.

But Pei Wende asked himself that he was honest during this time, didn't he cause any big commotion?

"Or, do I have a cold?"

He touched his forehead in disbelief, and Pei Wende, who hadn't caught a cold for several years, couldn't help muttering.

After all, there are no quick-acting medicines in this era. If one is not careful, minor illnesses such as colds and fevers may become life-threatening illnesses.

In fact, Wen Wende has seen too many similar examples in these years.

Most of them are not worth mentioning in the 21st century. They are just minor ailments such as fever and stomach upset, which will kill people in this era.

"It seems that I can't continue to exercise today."

Resolutely ended today's boxing and physical training, Pei Wende is not the kind of character in novels and comics.

The principle of combining work with rest and getting twice the result with half the effort is understood by any normal person.

Now that his body had symptoms of a cold, Wen Wende simply took it as a vacation for himself, and ended the three-month-long practice of "retreating into meditation".

It happened that Pei Wende hadn't gone down the mountain for a long time, so it's good to go down the mountain to have a look.

[Speaking of this, the incense in the temple during this time is a bit too good, right? 】

A fierce plunge into the water, Pei Wende swam towards the shore while thinking about the various changes in Tongqing Temple during this period.

It's nothing more than building beauty streams, renovating temples, and the like.

Then it can be explained with reasons such as "some pilgrims have taken a fancy to Hui Ji".

Anyway, the customs of the Tang Dynasty have always been like this, and Pei Wende would not be surprised at all if any nobleman fell in love with Hui Ji, a "little boy".

But even vegetarian dishes are delivered to the mountains on a regular basis every day, which is a bit too exaggerated.

Thinking of the land deed document with his name written on it, Pei Wende's mind unconsciously showed Pei Hui's pretty back.

[If this is the case, my cheap sister is too rich, right? 】
