MTL - I Was an Abbot in Ancient Times-Chapter 20

When the mountain gate was opened, bells and drums rang together.

The people who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the mountain spread the news back to all the villages, county towns, and even the prefectural capital.

Qingquan Temple, which has been closed for a long time, has reopened its gates.

Pilgrims who heard the news rushed up the mountain.

However, some people found that they were clearly walking in the right direction, on the right road, and the temple's flying corner eaves were right in front of them, but they couldn't get in anyway.

I stepped into a dense forest with one foot, wandered in it for a long time but couldn't find the way, until I was too tired, the way down the mountain appeared.

These people who already harbored evil intentions were frightened immediately, wondering if some gods in this temple really noticed their thoughts and punished them?

Since then, dare not come again.

Lin Zhao was too busy, not to receive pilgrims, but to make a blacklist.

He didn't expect that there would be so many people with bad intentions for the benefit of the temple, and they couldn't even be blacklisted.

Shantong and Yu Tian are also very busy.

The pilgrims who hadn’t had a vegetarian meal for several days came in waves, and there were not enough tables and chairs, so they waited outside, which showed how much they missed the temple’s vinegar-simmered cabbage, pickled cucumbers, and potato pancakes.

The students swarmed back to their huts one after another, hugging the long-lost desk, and shed tears of happiness.

Lin Zhao went back to his old business and released the lottery. Although I am still not good at learning, I can't remember the meaning of the signature, so I have to read it from the manual.

But what does it matter. He was happy to release the sign, and the pilgrims were also happy to hear it. Everyone is happy.

With the opening of the mountain gate, the incense value that had been cleared rose back up again, and there was even a trend of continuing to rise violently.

The first day is 200, the second day is 308, the third day is 500, the fourth day is 600...

It wasn't until the tenth day, when the incense value approached the one thousand mark, that it would stabilize and stop.

At this moment, the system brought a bad news.

[Ding—dear player, via the M17 Galaxy Culture Management Group, a research letter from the Restoration of Civilized Ancient Buildings Branch:

After a meeting and discussion, it was agreed that since the player Lin Zhao built the restored ancient civilization buildings in the 13th small world very well,

The function of the system in this small world is beyond imagination. In order to achieve game balance,

A number of new regulations have been added as follows:

…

…

...]

Lin Zhao read the letter carefully.

What I said above is excellent, and the words of praise are all scene words, which can be ignored. The following new regulations are the key point.

He summed it up, that is, the incense value is deducted for buying things, and the protection system also deducts the incense value every day.

On this basis, the stipulation that if the incense value does not meet the requirements, it cannot be purchased for construction and decoration.

for example,

For example, if he wanted to unlock the lacquered statue of the Heavenly King, the incense value had reached 200 before, and he could buy a replacement for another 150 silver.

Now the painted lacquered statue of the Heavenly King is also unlocked. In addition to the incense value reaching 200, which costs 150 silver to purchase, 50 incense value will be deducted.

In other words, it can only be purchased when the incense value reaches 250, so that the unlocking condition can be met after the incense value is deducted.

It is to deduct his incense value in a different way to increase the difficulty of construction and operation.

Damn dog planning! He actually felt that his business was running very smoothly, making it more difficult for him!

Where did they get their conclusions and basis!

Lin Zhao almost ran away.

Could it be that because of his suggestion letter, when they researched and developed the protection function, they collected the recent occurrence and operation of the temple, and found that the incense value would lead to a blowout growth in the future, so they urgently applied the patch for the balance of the game?

The more Lin Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. With the experience of playing games in his previous life, he sometimes planned to create various dog mechanisms in order to maintain the game experience of other players.

Lin Zhao was indeed right.

In the overall ranking of the management game of restoring ancient civilized buildings, he was like a dark horse and quickly squeezed into the top ten in just half a year.

This makes other players very puzzled. Someone has completed in half a year what they have been unable to do for more than ten years.

So they complained one after another, whether there are cheating devices installed.

The sub-bureau ignored these complaints until Lin Zhao submitted a letter of suggestion to establish protective measures. When they collected Lin Zhao's business information and conditions, they discovered the particularity of this small world, so they added patches to maintain balance.

"Abbot, come quickly!" Bulei suddenly ran into the meditation room and pulled Lin Zhao out.

It has been more than a month since the last time Baijiao experienced calamity, and the lotus seeds in the lotus pond have matured.

Bu Tier wanted to pick the lotus, so he dragged Lin Zhao and Fuji together.

A few people stood by the edge of the lotus pond, reaching for it with bamboo poles.

At the end of the long bamboo pole, there is a tool that can be grabbed, which was made by Brother Changmao.

Just extend the bamboo pole, aim at the lotus pod and grab it, and then pull and pull, the lotus pod is easily accessible.

Thanks to the rain, the lotus has grown a lot.

Eat happily while not tired, and give out at the same time.

Brother Huitong on duty is not a seductive brother,

Brother Shantong, who is busy in the kitchen, is also indispensable.

Brother Changmao picked several of them after he made the tools himself, and now he doesn't know where to hide and eat them.

If it's redundant, see which student is pleasing to the eye, and put it under the window.

When the students put down their books to rest, when they looked up, they saw the green and fresh seasonal products, and they were in a good mood.

One of the pilgrims who came and went was also stuffed in his arms. He opened the lotus pod, took out the lotus seeds, peeled off the emerald green lotus clothes, and put them in his mouth to chew.

Hmm ~ crispy and delicious.

The sweet juice in the mouth slipped down the throat and swallowed, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit!

Sudden!

Something blocked the daylight overhead, and shadows enveloped him.

The pilgrim looked up, and saw an eagle circling around, stumbled down from mid-air.

He hastily dodged aside.

Everyone was attracted by the movement and slowly gathered around. Lin Zhao was also quite curious when he saw this scene, so he went to look.

After the eagle fell to the ground, its wings fluttered to the ground, its eyelids were half closed, and it looked like it was about to die.

"Yo! How did the eagle fall down so well?"

"I'm afraid it's not heat stroke!" A pilgrim guessed.

"It's not hot on this mountain, how can I get heatstroke?"

"Hey, I guess they flew over from southern Fujian. I heard that the weather there is very hot."

"This is really strange, it can be so hot that the eagles have sunstroke and fell to the ground."

"Abbot, save it quickly."

"Amitabha, saving an eagle's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. But Buer brought a bucket of well water." Lin Zhao told Buer who was standing next to him.

Reaching out to touch the eagle, its body is indeed very hot.

Bu Er quickly brought a bucket of well water over, and Lin Zhao scooped up a ladle of water and poured it into Ying's mouth.

The eagle trembled all over, then opened its eyelids, flapped its wings and drank violently.

Not satisfied after drinking this scoop, he saw the bucket next to him and fluttered, and the whole eagle fell into it.

The onlookers all laughed.

"Ouch! It's flying again!"

The revived eagle flew into the sky and circled for several weeks, the water on the feathers dried up, and they fell to the ground again.

It seemed to know that Lin Zhao was a lifesaver, or it had tasted the sweetness of the well water, so it threw itself into Lin Zhao's arms and begged to be petted.

"Oh! This eagle has become a spirit, and knows how to thank the savior!" The pilgrims joked, and burst into laughter again.

Lin Zhao pushed it away in disgust, the feathers made him very uncomfortable, but he still prefers furry.

The eagle that was pushed away stared at Lin Zhao in puzzlement, as if questioning him.

#鹰鹰so cute why do you push me away#

Lin Zhao ignored it but it was completely dependent on the temple.

Every day when I came back from hunting, I asked the monks for well water to drink. After drinking, I squatted on the tree or on the roof with my eyes closed and meditated.

When the pilgrims see it, they will say that this is the eagle rescued by the abbot and they are reluctant to leave.

Because all the rewarded seeds had been taken away, there was only the last crop of cucumbers left in the field.

Lin Zhao has been earnestly completing daily tasks these days to earn back.

From frugality to extravagance is easy and from luxury to frugality is difficult. He understands the obsession of those pilgrims with vegetarian food. After eating the vegetables produced by the system, it is always lacking in other tastes.

In order to become a monk, he even abstained from eating meat, and only these vegetables and Shantong's handicrafts can comfort and relieve him.

There are quite a lot of daily tasks, but the system does not require them to be completed.

The first task is to be assigned to farm three times.

The second task is to ask for alms three times.

The third and fourth tasks are for the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower to be on duty once each.

The fifth task is to attract 300 pilgrims.

There is also a reward for completing all daily quests.

Lin Zhao completed all but three begging missions.

Obtained a pack of Cucumber Seeds, Cabbage Seeds, and Sweet Potato Seeds.

In the end, an achievement was achieved—the cumulative number of pilgrims reached 2,000, and a pack of peanut seeds was obtained.

Getting peanut seeds again, Lin Zhao had a little anticipation in his heart, and planned to save up another pack of peanut seeds, and plant them together to see if he could grow golden peanuts again.

He didn't study the effect of the golden peanut last time, so he was swallowed by the white snake.

At this time, Pang Yu and a familiar student came to find him.

This familiar student seemed to be the leader of this group of students. He came to find Lin Zhao this time for the summer gathering in a few days.

According to him, Zhizhou and Suqian, the last judge, will come over.

This is all because the reputation of the temple spread to Fucheng, and many people in Fucheng wanted to visit the temple.

Of course, Lin Zhao was not unwelcome, but he had to borrow Shantong's help to prepare the banquet. The bigger the figure, the better, and he was given a lot of incense money. It happened that building the Daxiong Palace would cost a lot of money.

The construction of the Daxiong Palace took a long time. As soon as the temple opened, construction resumed.

Not only Lin Zhao was in a hurry, but the workers were also in a hurry to start work. One was to earn money to support their families, and the other was to feed and drink for the temple.

The remuneration given by the temple is high, and the food and drink are comfortable, which is much better than their toil in other places.

Lin Zhao had placed high hopes on them, and the big shots with incense and money soon arrived in crowds.

Because of this gathering, the students were deeply impressed by Lin Zhao, watching him calmly chatting and laughing with the Zhizhou, interacting with each other, saving them and this meeting.
