The same plot and the same scene are also played out by the Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple.
The loyal and honest people of Shangyang City left the sachet and ran into an alley, where a handsome and noble young man was waiting.
"Master, I have given you both sachets as you told me."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Jin."
This handsome and noble young man is naturally Lin Ye, and this loyal and honest Shangyang County citizen is Xu Jin, the son of Uncle Xu.
After letting Xu Jin leave, Lin Ye came out of the alley humming a little tune.
He didn't know the strength of the Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple and Taoyuan Temple. They were not necessarily very strong, but he understood one thing better: subduing the enemy's troops without fighting was the best strategy.
Take action if you can.
Lin Ye stepped into the restaurant. The shopkeeper saw Lin Ye and was about to come over, but was stopped by Lin Ye's eyes.
Guests come to stay.
It is his property.
As early as half a year ago, he found the original owner of the restaurant through Uncle Xu, spent money to buy it from the other party, and then renovated it, otherwise it would not have been called Presidential Suite.
But in the entire restaurant, only the shopkeeper knows that he is the owner.
The waiter came over and Lin Ye ordered a bottle of wine and several plates of snacks, waiting for the show to begin.
A quarter of an hour later.
Capt. Yang walked into the restaurant with a dozen agents. Capt. Yang glanced at the lobby and saw Lin Ye sitting by the window. After nodding his head insignificantly, he shouted to the shopkeeper:
"Shopkeeper, how many people from out of town have stayed in your store?"
"Yang Captou, as you said, the people staying in the hotel are not all from other places. Who in the city is staying in the hotel?"
"Don't interrupt me. Someone reported to the government that valuables were missing. It is suspected that someone from outside the area committed the crime. All occupied rooms will be searched."
Yang Captou didn't know that the owner behind the restaurant was Lin Ye, and he had a very serious face. At this moment, in the room upstairs, two young Taoist priests were holding a marble and watching carefully.
Marbles that are very common in modern times can be considered treasures in another world.
When the two young Taoist priests saw the marbles in the sachet, they were immediately attracted by the marbles. Now under the illumination of the oil lamp, the marbles shone with a dazzling luster.
Neither of them chose to tell their senior brother about this matter.
The reason is very simple. The world of spiritual practice in other worlds cannot establish secular power, which means that Taoist temples and temples can only earn incense money, or help people solve some ghost incidents to get rewards.
Under this situation, the Taoist monks in the other world did not live a particularly wealthy life.
After all, there are not many people like Abbot Jinguang of Miaoying Temple who know how to run a business. To be more precise, most Taoist temple owners and temple abbots still need to be shameless and put on airs to avoid being misunderstood by insiders.
Disdainful.
The two Taoist priests were young, so they thought that it was a reward for people's gratitude to them, so there was nothing wrong with accepting it. If they told their senior brother, they might just accept it.
…
A quarter of an hour later!
The first officer, Captain Yang, came down from upstairs with a group of Taoist priests.
"Don't push me, we are Taoyuan Temple."
"Bah, I think you are just green-skinned. Do you think you can deceive us by dressing up in Taoist robes and pretending to be Taoist priests?"
When a police officer saw a Taoist priest looking at him angrily, he slapped him rudely. The Taoist priest ducked his head and was about to fight back. The older senior brother shouted: "Third junior brother, stop it!"
Practitioners must not conflict with the government.
This is an iron rule.
The same government is not allowed to take action against practitioners, and the two sides maintain a balance.
Anyone who dares to break this rule will be severely punished.
In this case, it depends on who takes advantage.
It was obvious that Tzu Chi Temple and Taoyuan Temple were unreasonable this time, because the young junior brother was indeed arrested and quickly found the precious glass orb.
"Elder brother, I was wrongly accused. When I just left home, a commoner begged me for an exorcism charm and gave me a sachet to express his gratitude. This orb was placed in the sachet.
"
The young Taoist priest explained, but Yang Captou sneered: "It's just an exorcism charm. To be able to exchange for such a treasure really makes all of us fools. Let's go quickly!"
"Elder brother, I didn't lie."
The elder Taoist priest was silent because he didn't believe what his younger brother said. How much is the exorcism charm worth? This thing is in the Taoist temple. People who offer incense can take one home as long as they give one or two silver incense money.
And that orb is obviously worth thousands of gold. Who would exchange this treasure for an exorcism charm?
Yang Captou took these Taoist priests to the Yamen. Lin Ye waited until they were gone, then stood up from the table and strolled out of the restaurant.
…
…
An hour later!
In the cell where Tzu Chi Taoist priests are imprisoned.
"Elder brother, I really didn't steal it. This was really given to me by the people."
"Okay, stop talking. Wait until you challenge Qingfeng Temple. When you go back, you can explain the situation to the master."
The senior brother was a little impatient, and other junior brothers nearby asked: "Senior brother, what should we do now? We won't be locked up like this forever."
"No, they will let us go in a few days at most."
"How many days?"
The junior fellow apprentices looked at the young Taoist priest with even more dissatisfaction. If it hadn't been for the junior fellow apprentice, they would have been resting happily in the restaurant room, so how could they be locked up in this broken cell.
"Master Lin, please come this way!"
Just when these Taoist priests were complaining, there was a sound outside the cell door, and then these Taoist priests saw the headman who had arrested them before, with a flattering look on his face, leading a noble man in a white cloak over.
.
"Master Lin, these are those green-skinned thieves pretending to be Taoist priests."
"We are not thieves, we are really Taoist priests of Tzu Chi Temple."
When a Taoist priest heard this, he immediately retorted. Yang Captou glared at him, but the noble gentleman coughed and said, "Yang Captou, can you let me talk to these guys in private?"
"This... I'm afraid it's a little against the rules."
Mr. Yang looked embarrassed. The noble master took out something from his sleeve and skillfully stuffed it into Mr. Yang's sleeve. Although the action was very secretive, from the perspective of the Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple,
Just enough to see clearly.
The noble man slipped a check into the catcher's hand.
"Forget it, Mr. Lin is not an outsider. I still have to give him this face, but only for a quarter of an hour."
Yang Captou collected the money and left. The noble son turned around and looked at the Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple. He first bowed and then said: "Lin Ye, a lay disciple of Qingfeng Temple, has met all the Taoist friends at Tzu Chi Temple."
"Are you from Qingfengguan?"
The senior brother of Tzu Chi Guan Yun was a little surprised, and then he responded with a warning: "I am a poor Taoist, Tzu Chi Guan Yunsheng."
"Brother Yunsheng, the shopkeeper of the restaurant has informed me of your encounter. There must be fraud involved. With the reputation of Tzu Chi Monastery and the status of fellow Taoists, how can you possibly escape from theft?"
Lin Ye's words made the Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple feel very comfortable. Senior Brother Yunsheng even said with emotion: "Thank you Taoist Lin for your understanding. I only regret that this Yamen police officer is ignorant of the truth."
"The government office has always been like this. I also learned about the details. A wealthy household in the city lost a priceless glass orb. The person who stole it knew that the government office would go all out to track down the person who stole it. In order to find a scapegoat, he deliberately set up a trap.
A trap, taking advantage of people's greed...and curiosity, so that the blame can be put on fellow Taoists, and the real thief can get away with it."
Listening to Lin Ye's words, the young Taoist priest felt a little ashamed, but it wasn't just because of his greed that he had harmed his senior brothers.
"But fellow Taoists, don't worry. I still have some influence in the city. I have a pretty good relationship with the Yamen. I will definitely work hard for you fellow Taoists so that they can clear their grievances."
"this……"
Taoist Yunsheng was a little embarrassed. They came to challenge him, and they were accommodated by Qingfengguan. Now that something happened, he had to save them. This kind of magnanimity made him feel ashamed.
"Fellow Taoists, please be patient and wait for the news."
Lin Ye left in a hurry. Looking at Lin Ye's leaving figure, the Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple were also very moved.
"Elder brother, Taoist Master Dawu of Qingfeng Temple and this fellow Taoist Lin are both extremely warm-hearted people."
"Yes, if I were a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, I probably wouldn't be able to do this."
Comparatively speaking, if they are disciples of Qingfeng Temple, if they face someone who comes to challenge them, not to mention arranging a place to stay, but also helping to rescue them, it would be very good if they don't add insult to injury.
Taoist Priest Yunsheng's expression was also changing. After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Let's wait until we get out to talk about everything."
Outside the prison door.
When Captain Yang saw Lin Ye coming out, he asked with a smile: "Master Lin, what should we do next?"
"I'll lock him up for a day and then release him."
"good."
"What about those Taoist priests at Taoyuan Temple?"
"Same, let's go, I'll have to work hard for Yang Captou to accompany me on another walk."
…
The next day!
The Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Temple finally came out of their cells.
"Elder brother, where are we going now?"
"Go to Qingfeng Temple."
Taoist Yunsheng's expression was very firm. When he heard what he said, the expressions of his junior brothers were a little strange. They had just heard from the arrester that they were able to come out so quickly because Master Lin went to the county magistrate to intercede and even used
A lot of silver.
Going to Qingfeng Temple now is not repaying kindness with enmity.
"What are you thinking about? Mr. Lin Yi Bo Yuntian, even if we have to leave, we still have to come to express our gratitude."
…
"Fellow Taoists, go on your way!"
"Mr. Lin, take care."
At the gate of Shangyang City, Lin Ye waved goodbye to Tzu Chi Temple and did not turn around until he could no longer see his figure.
"Young master Lin is really a warmhearted person."
"Yes, he not only sent us out of the city, but also arranged a carriage for us. It's really Yi Bo Yuntian."
The Taoist priests at Tzu Chi Monastery were riding in carriages, looking at Lin Ye who was still waving from a distance behind them, and they were also full of emotion.
And half an hour later, at the same position, Lin Ye also saw off the Taoist priests from Taoyuan Temple, and received the same evaluation.
