MTL - I Was an Abbot in Ancient Times-Chapter 4
At this time, the gate of the temple was knocked again.
Bu Er ran to open the door and welcome people in.
"Abbot, abbot! He's a monk." The little monk Bu Er shouted at Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao looked at him in amazement, and for a moment didn't know whether to complain about the little monk Bu Er first, calling others monks for being a monk himself, or to talk to him first as an abbot.
It was a monk who looked a little fierce and domineering, with a string of very large bodhi beads hanging around his neck, with a big belly, and the two thick arms that were exposed looked very strong and powerful.
His face is also full of flesh, his eyebrows are rough, and he is wearing a blue monk's robe. He looks like a pig butcher rather than a monk.
【Ding—Brother Shantong has appeared! 】
The electronic sound of the system sounded in his ears, and Lin Zhao remembered that the reward he had received earlier seemed to unlock an AI monk.
only?
The man in front of him who looks alive and human is just an AI monk?
The semi-transparent interface jumped out again.
[Character: Senior Brother Shantong (with big arms and round waist, he looks good at cooking)
Stamina: 45
Comprehension: 5
Charm: 7
Talent: Lack of Wisdom
Gift props [details]]
As we all know, the description information behind the characters is often the most important, although they often seem very unreliable.
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw the description of "he looks good at cooking".
He and Bu Er are very poor at cooking. Ordinary stir-fried vegetables can't be fried well. Eating pickled radishes every day almost turns the child's face into a sauce.
As for other attributes? It's worse, the AI that will be unlocked in the future will not be worse than this, right?
He didn't know that Shantong's aptitude was already considered good compared to other AIs, at least Shantong also had one of the top physical strength.
At this moment, Lin Zhao stepped forward happily and held Shantong's big fan-like hand, "Welcome! No two, let's welcome you brother Shantong together!"
I don't know why, so why suddenly there is an extra brother? But he still obediently followed the abbot to welcome him.
"Thank you, abbot, for taking in." Shantong's muffled voice was completely contrary to his appearance, and he sounded very simple and honest.
This AI looks quite like that, not to mention that it is AI, Lin Zhao thought it was a real monk who came to ask him to take him in.
The smile on his face grew bigger, and he said to Bu Er decently: "Fu Er, go to the monk's dormitory to fetch water and clear out a bed for Senior Brother Shantong, and I'll go and make a bed for Senior Brother Shantong."
He obediently went to the monk's dormitory.
Lin Zhao opened the facility bar and spent 200 copper to buy a broken straw mat.
For AI monks, the buff effect of the Broken Straw Mat will be more obvious.
Take out the broken straw mat and put it on the bed that Buer cleared out. After doing all this, I looked at the sky, and it was almost noon.
Lin Zhao showed a smile, let me see the skills of the AI monks.
Sitting on the table in the backyard, Buer looked at the back of Senior Brother Shantong busy in the kitchen, and said to Lin Zhao:
"Abbot, is it very difficult for our temple? This is some money I saved in the past, you can use it, you must withstand the pressure!"
Bu Er is full of worries. Brother Shan Tong sleeps on a broken straw mat. He has to cook on the first day of his arrival. He is willing to endure hardships and work hard. Although the first impression of his appearance makes people think he is very vicious, but his heart is so simple Sincerely.
In contrast, do I waste too much food and still think about eating snacks.
Lin Zhao who wastes more food:...
Watching Bu Er spread out the two copper coins in his palm, he touched his prickly green leather head.
"No two, the temple is not in dire straits. Don't worry, the abbot still has some savings. You can keep the money to buy snacks."
This kid is too honest. Having a solid and hardworking partner is not thinking of pushing all the work to him and squeezing him, but reflecting on his not doing well enough...
Where can I find such a good child in modern times!
Lin Zhao began to fool him: "No, everyone has his own value, and he has his own position in the group. Like your brother Shantong, he is good at cooking. As for the broken straw mat, some things can't be seen on the surface. , maybe your brother Shantong just likes broken straw mats?"
Bu Er, who was raised innocently and innocently in the deep mountains, believed his words, and when he went to sleep at night, he also found that Senior Brother Shan Tong really liked the bedding that was matched with the broken straw mat...
The abbot really knows a lot. Seeing senior brother Shantong's blissful face pressed against the broken straw mat, Buer sighed.
Of course, that was at night, and now I am back in the backyard of Qingquan Temple during the day.
Shantong prepared a table of fast food and put it on the table in front of Lin Zhao and Fuji. Lin Zhao picked up the chopsticks and randomly picked up a piece of fried winter melon and put it in his mouth. The next moment, a happy expression appeared on his face.
After seeing it, Bu Er curiously picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and shouted out Lin Zhao's heartfelt voice, "Oh my God! Is this fried winter melon?! Why is it so sweet and delicious!"
It turns out that this is the strength of "looking good at cooking"!
Lin Zhao thought it was really fragrant.
While eating, the gate of the temple was knocked again.
Why are there so many people here today? Buer muttered, and ran to open the door.
Soon he returned to the backyard, followed by a scholar.
The scholar's hair was **** with a light blue cloth belt, and the blue shirt outside was washed white, and he was wearing white clothes and a pair of cotton shoes.
Buer brought him in front of Lin Zhao, "This is our abbot."
The scholar showed a modest and gentle smile, and bowed to Lin Zhao, "Abbot, sorry for the trouble."
Lin Zhao put down his chopsticks, "It's okay, but what's the problem?"
"Xiaosheng is going to take the city and country exam in September, and wants to stay in a temple for a month to prepare for the exam. I wonder if it is convenient?"
Seeing Lin Zhao pondering, he said again: "Abbot, I am willing to give 600 Wen as incense money. The family is poor, and I have spent a lot of effort to pay for the exams for the students. Please don't be disgusted with it, the abbot. This is most of the money for the students. The rest will be used for the expenses of the few days of the township examination."
His words were sincere, and he was misunderstood because of his momentary pondering. It can be seen that he suffered a lot along the way.
Lin Zhao said to him: "No, the benefactor misunderstood. Due to the turmoil of the war a few days ago, most of the temple was dilapidated. The poor monk remembered that the roof tiles in the layman's hut were seriously damaged..."
Halfway through the conversation, the electronic sound of the system rang again.
[Ding—the hut where the layman lives is too damaged! Laymen who come to stay have no place to live!
Please complete task 2 as soon as possible:
Repair the huts of the lay people. 】
Lin Zhao helped his forehead, his purse was about to be hurt again.
After receiving the task, he continued to say to the scholar:
"It will take some time to repair. At present, only the monk's dormitory can accommodate people. If the benefactor doesn't mind, he will live with the monks in our temple for a few days. After the dormitory over there is repaired, he can concentrate on preparing for the exam."
The scholar was overjoyed: "I don't mind, I don't mind."
This is the most suitable place for scholars to find. It was the first time I went to Fucheng to take the exam, and I didn’t have enough money to live in an inn in the city. I finally found this temple that was only three days away from Fucheng. How could he be so picky?
And according to what the abbot said, that is to spend a few more days on repairs, there is nothing better than this to have a separate room for him to read in peace.
Lin Zhao was the one who went down the mountain to Wushui Village to repair the huts where the laymen lived.
This time, he directly put the calculated wages and material costs on the uncle's desk, then turned around and left without giving him a chance to argue.
The life of the villagers is not easy, how can they always waste their time and energy to help the temple for free? Lin Zhao doesn't think he is a kind person, but he can't do such a black-hearted thing.
The enthusiastic and sincere folks quickly went up the mountain with tools and materials. They were used to work, diligent and nimble, and repaired the huts where the laymen lived in a few days.
It just so happened that some of the seeds that Lin Zhao sowed last time have already grown. He picked a basket of vegetables and asked the villagers to take them back to thank them for helping to clean up the lotus pond last time.
As soon as the hut was repaired, the system appeared again.
【Ding—Congratulations on completing the task!
Get a reward [simple desk x1]]
[The layman staying overnight needs to turn on the lamp to read at night, and just needs a desk, so let's set it up! 】
Lin Zhao squinted his eyes at the latter, a rare thoughtful reminder that had never been seen before.
Does this simple desk have any hidden attributes?
He clicked on the details page.
[Item name: simple desk (assembled from broken wood, although simple but can read)
Attribute: It seems to be just an ordinary and simple desk, and I have not found anything special~
Condition: Incense reaches 20. 】
That one-sentence explanation, saying that there is no special hidden attribute, will only be believed by ghosts!
However, the system gave such a thoughtful reminder, so Lin Zhao put it on. Anyway, the desk is in the temple. He will naturally know if there is any special follow-up, so there is no need to rush it for a while.
The scholar prepares very hard for the exam. In the morning, he follows Buer who gets up to clean the yard to study.
After resting for a while, he followed the second Shantong who got up to make breakfast to exercise.
Lin Zhao was the latest* and most leisurely* in the whole temple, drinking tea with buff spring water, sitting on the table in the backyard and waiting for breakfast.
Maybe he couldn't see him being so leisurely, and the system issued a task again.
