MTL - I Was an Abbot in Ancient Times-Chapter 3

[The monks in the temple have to eat, please recultivate the farmland! 】

Waking up early in the morning again, Lin Zhao has become accustomed to going to bed as soon as the sun goes down and opening his eyes as soon as the sun rises, following his unerring schedule.

Mr. System dutifully gave him the task early in the morning.

Lin Zhao somewhat recalled the scene when he arrived at the company early on Monday morning and his boss sent him a stack of documents for him to deal with.

With nothing to do, he took out the bag of seeds and planted them for a try.

Came to the backyard and sowed the seeds in the empty farmland next to it.

[Congratulations for completing the daily mission [Planting the Land] once, and you will be rewarded with a broken straw mat. 】

Broken, broken straw mats, Lin Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth, the system was getting more and more stingy.

Looking at the broken straw mat pattern on the translucent interface, Lin Zhao clicked, trying to drag it out and throw it away, not wanting to take up the storage space in the storage bar.

Unexpectedly, a details page popped up.

[Item Name: Broken Straw Mat (random match of broken straw mat pawnshop cover)

Attributes: Reduce the fatigue value of monks, and reduce the rest time by 10%

Condition: need to reach incense 15]

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw the description of the attribute line, and he worked harder to water and fertilize...

After planting the land and having nothing to do, Lin Zhao pulled Bu Er to clean up the lotus pond.

After entering from the gate of the temple, the most conspicuous thing is the lotus pond.

Other places are dilapidated and can be repaired later. This lotus pond is equivalent to the facade, so it should be cleaned up early to make a good impression on the pilgrims who come later.

Lin Zhao and Bu'er looked for bamboo poles, intending to salvage the fallen leaves and dead branches of duckweed in the lotus pond first, but the tool was really out of hand, and soon their hands became numb and their waists ached.

There is nothing to ask for in the temple, so I can only go down the mountain to see if the villagers at the foot of the mountain can borrow things like fishing nets.

There is a river at the foot of Lingwu Mountain, and the villagers live along the river. The mountains and land are outstanding, and gradually more and more people are attracted, and several villages are gathered.

Lin Zhao took Buer to the village closest to the temple, where the three characters "Wushui Village" were engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, there are a few uncles and aunts shaking cattail fans and chatting.

One of them was quite kind. Tell people with eloquence:

"...The third master of the Li family couldn't sleep at night, went to Qingquan Temple to worship Buddha, and snored as soon as he closed his eyes on the bed"

"I said that he looked much better recently..."

"No, Aunt Zhao had tinnitus and auditory hallucinations before, and she went to Qingquan Temple to worship Buddha, and everything was healed."

The uncles and aunts sitting around all said "hey", and the man waved his hand and continued:

"The Gu family has had bad luck recently. They always stepped on chicken feces when they went out, and they accidentally fell into the river when they walked by the river. They went to Qingquan Temple to worship Buddha... The sons of the Wang family who worked in the town earned three hundred coins more than before... "

At this point Lin Zhao couldn't listen anymore, Qingquan Temple was said to be miraculous by him, and he had already remembered that the uncle of Mian Shan was one of the people who came back to Qingquan Temple to worship last time.

As the previous few said, the son of the Wang family earned an extra three hundred wen. Wasn't that his own hard work? Can this also be attributed to his own temple?

He wanted to slip past unnoticed, but the old man was busy talking, but his eyes were not idle, and he would have already caught sight of him. .

"Oh! Master!" He called to stop Lin Zhao, walked up quickly to hold Lin Zhao, and did not forget to turn his head and shout to the villagers, "This is the master of Qingquan Temple I told you about!"

When the villagers heard this, they immediately surrounded Lin Zhao enthusiastically, and their simple and straightforward eyes fell on the two of them.

Lin Zhaohe stood in the middle at a loss. The villagers looked at it carefully and praised:

"As expected of being raised in the Ling Temple, what a clean temperament!"

"This master is so handsome, how beautiful is this snow-white monk's robe!"

"This little monk is pink and round, lucky!"

...

Both Buer and Lin Zhao have big heads.

The old man pushed aside the people surrounding him, his eyes were kind and there was a bit of love in his eyes, he looked at Lin Zhaohe now as if he was looking at a fairy boy under the seat of Buddha, he smiled and asked Lin Zhao:

"Is there something wrong with the two little masters going down the mountain this time?"

After he asked, Lin Zhaocai got out of the embarrassment and remembered his purpose.

"The lotus pond in the temple was ruined, and I wanted to clean it up. I didn't have any tools at hand, so I thought about going down the mountain to borrow some tools such as fishing nets."

The uncle has been to the temple and knows how big the lotus pond is.

"Oh! The lotus pond is so big, and it hasn't been taken care of for many years. It takes a lot of work just by the two of you!"

The surrounding folks heard the words and said one after another:

"We can help the two little masters clean up!"

"Many people are powerful! There are so many of us and we can get it done in a while! Right now, it's slack, it's okay!"

"I'll go to those companies last time, and ask them to get tools. You go first, and we will follow!"

A group of people were lively, and they settled down in a few words. Lin Zhao had no chance to refuse. They were all kind, and he was not good at pouring cold water on others.

It is also very important to manage the temple to manage the relationship with the folks.

I owe the kindness to the folks, and I can give back when it develops well in the future.

A dozen or so people marched up the mountain along the mossy stone steps, holding all kinds of tools at hand, such as claw fences, long poles and fishing nets...

The lotus pond is the first pond, which is connected to the river flowing in Lingwu Mountain outside the temple. The dead branches and leaves accumulated over the years, as well as the densely grown algae are salvaged, and it is almost cleaned up.

A dozen or so people were in full swing and finished the work in a few strokes, without Lin Zhaohe and the little monk Buer doing anything.

Lin Zhaohe and Buer wanted to make a move, but were stopped by the villagers, and they kindly joked them not to make trouble.

The folks were so kind, Lin Zhao could only ask the little monk Bu Er to take out the dried fruit refreshments bought by the man, and make a pot of tea for them by himself.

After work, everyone sat on the steps casually, drinking a little tea with their hands in their hands. The breeze from the mountains blew past the temple, bringing a burst of coolness, which made them feel empty physically and mentally, as if they were about to float away with the wind.

The tea from Qingquan Temple is really good! Everyone sighed in unison.

[Congratulations, you have successfully cleaned the water in the pool, making the lotus pond look brand new, and unlocking [Facilities Bar] and [AI Monk]. 】

The system prompt sounded again, and Lin Zhao and other villagers opened the interface to check after they left.

Click on the temple building on the interface, and an icon of a hammer and shovel crossed appears.

Lin Zhao clicked on the icon.

There is a long list of facility names inside, and there is a row of facility icons under each facility name, all of which are in a gray state to be unlocked, and only the first one under the facility names is lit up.

The icons in front of each row are all low-level, and the higher the level, the better the attribute and the stricter the unlocking conditions.

For example, the futon, in the row of icons below, only the first one lights up—the rag cushion, which is the shabby futon that Lin Zhao detested at first.

The pattern depicted above realistically shows the roughness of the broken futon. Compared with the dark upgraded futon with unlocking at the back, it makes people want to throw it away at a glance, and the unlocking level is higher.

If the broken futon is lv0, then the following ones are llv1, lv2, lv3...

Lin Zhao took a look. The broken futon does not need money, nor does it need to reach a certain incense value, it will be randomly given by the system.

And the upgraded version of the futon, that is, lv1, needs to reach the incense value of 50, and you need to spend 300 copper coins to unlock it.

Not to mention fences, Buddha statues, etc. The condition for unlocking the stone Maitreya statue is 50 incense sticks and 20,000 copper.

He looked at his deposit, 50 silver and 19 copper.

1 silver = 1000 copper, a stone Buddha statue can cost one-fifth of his net worth

Alas, the road to building temples is difficult and difficult.

Lin Zhao was about to turn it off, but suddenly saw a bright red "fold" pinned to the upper right corner on the icon of the bronze Buddha statue.

Lin Zhao clicked on the details to see, and it was marked "Discounted price during the activity period, and the original price will be restored after the time limit."

Look at the original price crossed out below, 50 silver.

Lin Zhao suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if he had missed 100 million yuan.

He finally realized the desperate mood of those female colleagues in his previous life when they couldn't get online shopping.

With trembling hands, he swiped to see what he could buy, to relieve his overly grieved heart, and finally an icon with the same bright red word "fold" appeared in front of him.

Seeing the price of 300 copper, Lin Zhao bought it without hesitation, without looking at what it was.

I bought it and found that it was a guardrail. I remembered the precarious bluestone in the lotus pond, calculated the number of guardrails needed according to the area of ​​the lotus pond, and bought 16 in one go, which means that I spent a total of 4 taels of silver and 800 copper.

[item name: red painted fence (just painted wooden fence)

Quantity x16

Attribute: Protection

Condition: Incense reaches 10

Is it building? 】

Although the description is not very good, but the current conditions can only be used temporarily.

Lin Zhao directly clicks [Yes].

After a while, there was a knock on the gate of the temple. Lin Zhao went to open the door.

A group of sturdy carpenters lined up and walked in, banging and banging.

After a while of work, those weathered bluestone fences were removed and transported away, and replaced with red painted fences.

Bu Er was taking care of the farmland in the backyard and heard the movement. When he came out and saw it, he was shocked.

The carpenters were very cold, quickly built the red-painted guardrail, and then left quickly, without saying a word, with a mysterious atmosphere.

Lin Zhao nodded appreciatively. The system is quite comprehensive. It changed everything without saying "wow", and even hired an AI engineering team.

At a glance, the lotus pond, which was dilapidated and dilapidated, with weathered and old fences and green withered leaves on the water surface, is completely new.

The water surface is clean, and the pink lotus is swaying in the wind.
