Mysterious World Tour
Chapter 271: Ming Wuyan keeps his mouth shut
After walking for a while, Tan Mo looked back at the dispersed people in the town and felt strange.
Although the candles and lamp oil in the shop were almost emptied by them, the shopkeeper had made it very clear just now that he had prepared enough lighting supplies and asked the shop assistants to go to the warehouse to get them. Soon there were enough candles and lamp oil in the shop. Why did those people in the town who were crowding in front of the shop to buy at the beginning not buy at that time?
"Junior brother, I don't think that they are really crowding in front of that shop to buy? That time our eldest brother prepared a surplus of money for shopping. He went there to buy some osmanthus cakes to satisfy his cravings. Junior brother, I might as well go to another shop to have a look. There are only two such shops in Luowan Town. Junior brother, I have always been smart, and I think I can see it at a glance." Hong Guzi looked over at that time, then rolled his red eyes and whispered to Tan Mo.
"He won't go to see it. Senior brother, I will tell him directly." Tan Mo shook his head.
"That's fine. Help him take those little monks to the mountain, and give me some osmanthus cakes afterwards." Hong Guzi blinked and said.
"Namo Amitabha, it's a small matter." Tan Mo agreed immediately.
He didn't care about just a few pieces of osmanthus cakes.
Hong Guzi smiled, he was waiting for Tan Mo's words.
Then he whispered, "Junior brother, the sun rises from the west once every twelve years and lasts for a month. Even the owner of the candle shop has been prepared and has stockpiled a lot of goods. I really think that the people in the town will not be prepared?"
"Candles are not cheap. Although they are extremely expensive, they are not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, every time the day and night are reversed, before the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, there will be organized fires to ensure that the whole city is bright day and night. As for the east and remote places, it depends on the clans and gentry to find a way."
"But the clans only care about their own families, and the gentry care about the lives of the poor, and even very will take the opportunity to occupy the farmland. The senior brother was looking after Bu Luo, so when the day and night were reversed, he paid for a lot of candles and lamp oil with his own money, and drove away the evil spirits with light, protecting the peace of this place. "
"With the precedent of Bu Luo, the people in the town will inevitably have other thoughts. For example, that time, it seemed that they were crowded in front of the shop to buy lighting supplies, but in fact, Bu Luo was trying to prevent the big families in the town from buying a lot of candles and lamp oil in the shop, so that we could not buy enough lighting supplies."
"Because of the senior brother, the people in the town trust them more." That sentence, Hong Guzi said with great meaning.
Tan Mo put his legs together and chanted a Buddhist name.
He blushed when he heard it.
It turned out that the people in the town did not trust the big families, and were afraid that those big families would interfere, so they came up with this plan.
Lotus Temple bought a lot of candles and lamp oil. With the name of Lotus Monk, the people in the town believed that they would benefit from it.
But it is hard to say what the wealthy families will do with the large amount of lighting supplies.
After all, it is a special period.
"No wonder the people in the town are so respectful to our senior brother." Tan Mo sighed.
"Although our senior brother is not very self-disciplined, overall, he is indeed a qualified monk who practices Buddhism. He practices Buddhism and cultivates virtue." Hong Guzi nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Tan Mo and Hong Guzi looked at each other. They instantly understood each other's eyes. Hong Guzi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Junior brother, the cake shop is almost here. Junior brother, I will take those little bald heads to the mountain first. Don't tell Jing Xukong and Jie Puti about that matter, otherwise those two guys will definitely come to grab the osmanthus cake."
"Please rest assured, senior brother, he will keep his mouth shut." Tan Mo nodded, and then led the group of outer courtyard monks to the Lotus Temple.
Walking out of the outer courtyard of the Lotus Temple, and relying on the prestige of the little princess, Tan Mo had already established great prestige among the group of outer courtyard monks. At that time, when he took the lead, no one dared to object, even the two brothers of the Ge family, not only did they not rely on their familiarity with Tan Mo to be unruly, but they behaved particularly obediently.
Returning to the Lotus Temple, he first stored the candles, and then began to lead people to arrange oil lamps.
There are many large oil lamps outside the temple, all of which were sealed after being used once twelve years ago. It takes two young monks to lift an oil lamp together.
For a while, the outside of the Lotus Temple was quite busy.
Jing Xukong went for a while, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and came to Tan Mo who was lazy at that time, and asked with a dark face: "Little Junior Brother, where is the Second Senior Brother? Why is he not outside the temple? Didn't he come back with us?"
Jing Xukong saw that Tan Mo was lazy and came here, so he thought it was not good to say that as soon as he opened his mouth, and he happened to not see Hong Guzi, so he asked casually.
"Second Senior Brother, because he had some extra money to buy candles and lamp oil, Second Senior Brother went to the cake shop in the town to buy some osmanthus cakes. Calculating the time, he should be back now!" Tan Mo said calmly.
When Jing Xukong heard this, he immediately stopped caring about Tan Mo's laziness. He chuckled and said, "He was talking about that Dongshan purchase. Why was he so active? Was he planning to take kickbacks?"
"Take kickbacks?" Tan Mo was stunned.
"Junior brother, do I really think that our second brother wants to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake? In the past, there was one grocery store in Luowan Town, but now... there are two. Everyone knows that day and night are reversed every twelve years. And those shopkeepers, We have so many candles and lamp oil to buy outside the temple. No matter which store we go to, the shopkeeper will make a lot of money. I don’t think our second master Xin Wai has made any arrangements in advance. Go and negotiate the price?”
Tan Muxuan thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. The guilt that had just arisen in his heart disappeared immediately. He nodded and said, "It's not good for the second senior brother to do that!"
When Jing Xukong heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said righteously: "Junior brother, I don't think it's good for him to do that, right? Then I don't tell fifth junior brother that he is blocking his way to Zaishan. , give me half of it then.”
"Senior brother, don't worry, he will definitely keep his mouth shut." Tan Mo immediately assured.
Yu Fei Jingxong left with peace of mind.
He is a half-step martial arts master, and his body skills are astonishing. Although he is not as unreasonable as Tan Mo's Shen Zu Tong, who can move a hundred steps away in an instant, it only took him a while to run out of the Lotus Temple.
Looking at the figure that had disappeared in the void in the mirror, Tan Mo withdrew his gaze, only to see Jie Bodhi walking over.
Jie Bodhi wiped his legs with a towel, and then asked with a strange look on his face: "Junior brother, the third senior brother went in a hurry, what are you doing out there? Where is the second senior brother? How come we are all back and haven't seen him yet?" ?”
"I had some extra money for shopping. The second senior brother wanted to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It turned out that the third senior brother said that the second senior brother was asking for a kickback, so he went to see the second senior brother." Tan Mo blinked and then said with a wooden face.
Thank you to Poison King Yongbaobao for the 500 point reward, thank you~
