"So, I led the brothers around for a long time and looked for several Taoist and Buddhist temples, but they didn't find anything suitable."
"Later, I found out that there was a spirit turtle owned by Lao Fei in Xingshan Temple. It was said that it was staying in the temple from the previous dynasty.
The eminent monk recited sutras and sermons for it every day, carved the Buddha's heart seal (swastika) on its turtle back, and gave it a blessing, making it very spiritual..."
The smile on Cheng Chubi's face hardened. He seemed to have vaguely heard of Xingshan Temple.
I remembered that when the Queen was ill in Jiucheng Palace, His Royal Highness went to Xuandu Temple and Xingshan Temple to pay homage.
Well, it’s a typical example of saving gods from all over the sky, worshiping Buddhas from all over the ground, and looking like someone who is seriously ill and seeks medical treatment indiscriminately.
After Uncle Fu led a group of fat and strong servants to Xingshan Temple, he first dropped a solid sum of money for incense.
Then I seriously reasoned with the director of Xingshan Temple, and he was reasoning.
The fat and strong servant of the Cheng family over there directly picked up the turtle and left.
"...The host may have thought that we could just get a spirit turtle like this.
Afraid that it was not enough, I reminded the villain again, saying that they were opposite Xingshan Temple."
"After passing Zhuque Street, there is also a spiritual turtle at Xuandu Temple opposite, and that one is fatter than the one at Xingshan Temple.
Let the villain return their one and go directly to get the other one."
Having said this, the housekeeper's rich uncle couldn't help but feel happy. "The old monk really thinks that the villain is stupid, so of course he won't do it."
"I just said that I had to take it to compare, and then I went to Xuandu Temple and brought back the spirit turtle as well."
"Don't worry, young master, they were all bought with money. The price is enough to buy a cow, not to mention two turtles."
Cheng Chubi wiped his face, what should I say? Well, there is no need to say anything. In short, both Buddhist and Taoist spirit turtles have already farted.
What can I do? Isn't it even more insulting to go back as a dead turtle?
Therefore, he first made a copper move, and then made a living move. Everything was solved perfectly. Cheng Chubi silently praised his quick wit.
As for whether or not the spirit turtle at Xingshan Temple should be carved back, that is none of my business, as that prodigal prince Li Ke did.

Li Ke, who had just returned to Prince Wu's mansion, looked proud and was walking in the mansion when he suddenly heard a reply not far away.
"……real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Anyway, I went to Xingshan Temple today to offer incense, and I really didn't see the illuminated turtle."
"It's such a cold day, maybe he's already hiding."
"If that were the case, why would the little monk who was asked about it have to gnash his teeth and explain clearly? Tsk tsk..."
"Unexpectedly, the look in the young monk's eyes as if he was about to eat someone scared me to death."
The smile on Wu Wang Li Ke's face gradually disappeared, and he looked back at the heavy package Li De held in his hand.
Inside this package, there happened to be a turtle with Buddhist swastikas painted on its back.
He remembered that Xingshan Temple seemed to be located on both sides of Zhuque Street along with Xuandu Temple, but he was not willing to deal with those monks. He had never been there.
"As expected of the old Cheng family, with this ability..." Li Ke laughed and shook his head, realizing that this turtle was created by Brother Chu Bi.
It's all gone now. I just took care of its pity and collected its remains.
As for other things, that's the problem of that rough old man, Brother Chu Bi, and it's none of my business.
After thinking about this, Li Ke's mood immediately improved, and he continued to walk towards the depths of the mansion with the pace of disowning his relatives.
When he arrived at the inner courtyard and looked at the empty and unpopular palace, Li Ke couldn't help but sigh softly.
Why is life always so lonely?
"Your Highness, what are you..."
"Come, let me change my clothes and go out through the side door in a moment."
"The mansion is really too deserted. It's too early to rest now. It's better to go out and walk around."
After hearing these similar words, Li De couldn't help but support his waist and looked at His Highness with admiration.

The shopkeeper of the iron shop and the old craftsman stared blankly at the huge plaque on the Xuandu Guanguan Gate.
The two looked at each other with lingering fears.
"Fortunately, fortunately we didn't spill the beans."
The shopkeeper wiped the smelly sweat from his forehead, his face full of joy.
"At that time, he claimed that his surname was Cheng, and I heard his followers calling him Third Young Master. Why was I so stupid that I didn't take a guess at the old Cheng family?"
The old craftsman nodded with deep understanding. "The turtles in Xuandu Temple are really pitiful..."
The Cheng family is so terrible. It turns out that the tortoise in Xuandu Temple was bought by the notorious old Cheng family.
That Young Master Cheng San must be the top figure in Chang'an City. In the past two years, Cheng Sanlang has stirred up waves of topics in Chang'an City.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper was astute and inquired carefully first, and found out that it was the Cheng family who forcibly sold the turtle away, so he said nothing more.
Otherwise, if Xuandu Guan knew that the spirit turtle was dead, something would happen.
If the notorious old Cheng family knew that their shop had leaked the truth to Xuandu Guan, the shopkeeper would wipe his sweat and be so scared. Fortunately, there would be no problem.
The shopkeeper and the old craftsman let out a long sigh in unison, left Xuandu Temple, and subconsciously looked towards the direction of Zhuque Street.
Across the street, there is the famous Xingshan Temple in Chang'an City. When the city was built in the previous dynasty, this Buddha was so interested that they were facing each other.
It's as if these two families were specially allowed to compete in the ring, tsk tsk...
I heard that Xingshan Temple and Xuandu Temple have always been at odds with each other, and they occasionally have conflicts. Of course, Buddhism and Taoism are not compatible, which is normal. After all, they worship different gods.
At this moment, the abbot of Xingshan Temple stood blankly at the entrance of the turtle cave, looking at the turtle cave that was now clean, without even a pile of turtle dung.
His eyes turned red and he whispered the Buddha's name.
In the past, when my master was still alive, when he was going to Luoyang to attend the Uncensored Conference, he accidentally saw this dying turtle on the way.
So he was kindhearted and rescued it, and then brought it back to Xingshan Temple. Later, the master felt that the turtle was quite spiritual, so he took care of it himself.
The swastika, the heart seal of Buddha, was carved on the back of this turtle, and I personally blessed the turtle...
It has been passed down to my generation, and many years have passed. As a result, that day, there was a bunch of fat, strong, and vicious Cheng family members.
It was like a gang of robbers who committed murder and set fires barged in.
After throwing in a few strings of incense money, he just snatched away this turtle that had brought a lot of income to Xingshan Temple.
At that time, the host still remembered the smiling face and arrogant tone of the Cheng Mansion housekeeper.
As for the fact that it still made him gnash his teeth...
