One Person, One Brick, One Person, One Tile!
"Why are there so many people looking for this crazy monk?”
Li Dongxi found it hard to believe. The crowd was as crowded as the two Zen Monasteries during the Yue Laan Bon Festival.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Dongxi also quietly went up.
She hadn't forgotten about the secret discussion she had with Nanbei yesterday. She wanted to see what this Monk Daoji was capable of!
Not far away, Li Xiuyuan first swallowed a mouthful of wine and sprayed it into the eyes of the blind old lady. Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the old lady actually opened her eyes and saw her son who had brought her thousands of miles to treat her illness.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried, making people sigh.
Then, he used the old cattail leaf fan to shake the old farmer's sore spot. The old farmer instantly became lively and energetic. He carried two loads of grain and left.
He used his hand as a knife to cut off the old man's tumor, then rubbed the mud under his armpit to turn it into water to cure the idiot…
What was impossible for ordinary people to do was easily done by Li Xiuyuan.
Li Dongxi suddenly remembered the rumor that had spread widely in Dali. Li Xiuyuan had brought Xuanyuan Jingcheng back from the dead…
Now, it seemed that it was not impossible!
Although she didn't want to admit it, Li Dongxi realized that this stupid monk in front of her seemed to be more capable than her father!
……
Yuhang Prefecture.
Lu Shengxiang listened to the reports of his subordinates, and his expression was extremely ugly.
"General, if Daoji continues to cause trouble in Yuhang, those unruly people will probably turn the world upside down!”
The few generals complained incessantly. Originally, they had relied on the background of the royal residence to bully the people of Yuhang City. Not only did they bully the city, but they also openly annexed the land of the farmers.
No one dared to stop them from building farms and houses.
In the end, Li Xiuyuan had been in Yuhang for less than ten days. He had used some unknown method to collect their land deeds, helped those commoners treat illnesses, and even punished many wealthy merchants and aristocrats. His reputation among the people was growing day by day.
Now Yuhang only knows Living Buddha Ji Gong, who knows Guangling Guangling King?
In addition, there were constantly people from Jianghu coming to Yuhang. If he had not stopped these people in the name of Daoji, he was afraid that it would have been difficult for him to control Yuhang. However, this was not a solution.
First, they were afraid of Li Xiuyuan's methods. Second, they were afraid of King Guangling's orders. They could only complain to Lu Shengxiang.
"Don't cry. That monk is just a small temple, how big of a storm can he cause? Bear with it!"
Lu Shengxiang suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, King Guangling had repeatedly instructed him not to easily fall out with Li Xiuyuan, but he could not let the situation continue like this!
What made Lu Shengxiang proud was that when he helped Li Xiuyuan build the temple, he specially picked some scraps and even moth-eaten and damp wood for Li Xiuyuan.
Usually, the broken temple would shake when the wind blew. If it was stormy, it might collapse.
Thinking of this, Lu Shengxiang said to his subordinates,"The broken temple won't last long. If I secretly get the people from the yamen to make things difficult for me, I won't be able to defeat that crazy monk!”
Hearing Lu Shengxiang's solemn promise, the few generals left with ease.
After everyone left, Lu Shengxiang immediately found his subordinates and instructed,"Tell the yamen constables to inform everyone that no merchants are allowed to provide construction materials to Hidden Spirit Temple. If anyone disobeys, arrest them and send them to jail!”
"Sir, it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send one away. If you anger Daoji…"
His subordinates could not help but feel a little embarrassed. It was one thing to target Dao Ji, but if they did not attack casually, how could they dare to provoke this Land Deity?
"You don't even have a Buddha statue and you dare to call it a temple? It was fine as long as they did not fall out on the surface. They originally wanted him to leave Yuhang by himself!”
……
It was night.
Li Xiuyuan, who was in Hidden Spirit Temple, could not sleep either.
His Hidden Spirit Temple had been established, but the system had not done anything. This made Li Xiuyuan feel a little depressed.
There was a lot of incense in the temple every day, but why wasn't there any notification from the system?
"Could it be that the system also thinks that this temple is too shabby?”Li Xiuyuan suddenly remembered Li Dongxi's words. There was not even a Buddha statue. Just a shed did not look like a temple!
This was not a solution!
Li Xiuyuan decided to think of a way to continue expanding and repairing the temple to confirm whether his guess was correct.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind blew past, and Li Xiuyuan suddenly heard the sound of wood breaking.
A side pillar was broken by the wind!
A corner of the Great Buddha Hall, which was already on the verge of collapse, collapsed.
The corners of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched. Good heavens, what he was afraid of really happened…
Hearing this sound, the three people who were sleeping soundly at the side were also woken up.
Li Dongxi started to mock him mercilessly."Look, look, Mad Monk, your broken temple is about to collapse!”
"Amitabha, Buddha bless us. Fortunately, only the side beam collapsed." Wu Nanbei still had lingering fear.
Huang Rong blinked her big eyes in the darkness and said to Li Xiuyuan,"Brother Daoji, I still have some private money here. Why don't you take the money to repair it tomorrow?”
"Wow, you little chef, are you crazy? Why are you helping the crazy monk build a house?”Li Dongxi exclaimed.
Li Xiuyuan's face was full of smiles.
F * cking Lu Shengxiang, King Guangling, are you trying to fool the Lord with broken wood?
……
The next morning,
The commoners who had rushed over to see the doctor also saw the collapsed Lingyin Temple.
"Lu Shengxiang is too despicable. The wood donated to the Taoist master was all cut corners!”
"Master Daoji saved everyone's lives, but he's living in this dilapidated temple. Should we go buy some bricks and tiles to repair the temple?？”
"I thought of this long ago, but after asking around, I found out that selling bricks and tiles to Hidden Spirit Temple will lead to imprisonment. Where are we going to get bricks and tiles? Who dares to sell it?"
The commoners discussed animatedly and could not help but sigh. The originally crowded Hidden Spirit Temple had become much quieter at this moment.
"Fellow villagers, the Hidden Spirit Temple has collapsed. We won't be opening our doors to welcome guests for the time being.”Li Xiuyuan was also quite helpless. He was prepared to find a time to find Lord Guangling and have a good 'talk', but now he could only disperse all the people gathered in front of the door.
After all, the Hidden Spirit Temple had become a dangerous temple. It would be bad if something happened.
Seeing this, the commoners could only retreat dejectedly. Although the government did not allow people to burn and sell the materials for the construction of the temple to Hidden Spirit Temple, the commoners looked at the collapsed temple and fell into deep thought.
"Shouldn't we do something for Master Daoji?”
"Since the government says that we can't sell it, then we'll give it to them. Each of us will give a brick and tile to help the Daoji Master build a proper temple!”
"Right, we can't afford to build a temple, but one brick per person is fine, right?”
"I don't believe that those officials can put us all in jail because of a brick. Can they put us in jail?”
The commoners were discussing countermeasures. At this moment, in the government office, Lu Shengxiang was laughing heartily.
"If a corner collapses today, another gust of wind will lift the beam tomorrow! Let's see how many more days this monk can last!"
This was the most carefree day Lu Shengxiang had felt in the past few days. He could finally sleep well tonight!
What Lu Shengxiang did not expect was that at noon, his subordinates rushed in from outside the yamen.
"General, something happened!"
"At noon, dozens of bricks and wood suddenly appeared outside the main gate of Hidden Spirit Temple! They were all piled up in front of the Hidden Spirit Temple!”
Hearing this, Lu Shengxiang's face darkened. His good mood in the morning was instantly swept away.
"Who is so bold? Investigate, don't let any of them go!"
When the subordinate heard this, he immediately revealed a troubled expression and stammered,"But Sir, it seems that the people in and outside Yuhang City have donated one or two bricks each. Many families have even torn down their roofs and walls and sent them over…"
"If we arrest them, I'm afraid it will stir up a rebellion!”
