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! There is 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.

DingSenior Brother Shantong has appeared!

The electronic sound of the system sounded in his ears, and Lin Zhao remembered that the reward he received earlier seemed to unlock an AI monk.

Only this?

The man in front of him who looks alive and human is just an AI monk?

The semi-transparent interface jumped out again.

[Character: Brother Shantong (big waist and round waist, he is good at cooking)

Physical Strength: 45

Comprehension: 5

Charm: 7

Talent: Lack ofprops given by Huigen [details]]

As we all know, the description information behind the character is often the most important, although they often looks very unreliable.

Lin Zhao’s eyes lit up when he saw the description of “he is 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 time, Lin Zhao stepped forward happily and held Shantong’s big fan-like hand, “Welcome, welcome! Bu Er, let’s welcome your brother Shan Tong together!”

Bu Er was confused, so why suddenly there was an extra senior 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: “Bu Er, go to the monk’s dormitory to fetch water and clear out a bed for Senior Brother Shantong, and I will go and make a bed for Senior Brother Shantong.”

The second 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.

He took out the broken straw mat and put it on the bed that Bu Er cleared out. After doing all this, he 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, Bue E looked at the back of senior brother Shantong busy in the kitchen, and said to Lin Zhao:

“Abbot, is it difficult times for our temple? This is some money I saved in the past, you can use it, you must withstand the pressure!”

Bu Er was full of worry, Senior Brother Shan Tong slept on a broken straw mat, and had to cook on the first day of his arrival, and he was willing to endure hardships and work hard, although the first impression of his appearance made him feel uncomfortable. People think he is very vicious, but his heart is so simple and sincere.

In contrast, he waste too much food and still think about eating snacks.

Lin Zhao who wasted more food: …

Watching Bu Er spread out the two copper coins in his palm, he touched his prickly green leather head.

“No, the temple is not in dire straits yet. Don’t worry, the abbot still has some savings in his hand. You can keep the money to buy snacks.”

This child is too sincere. Do you want to have a hard-working companion? Instead of trying to push all the work to him and squeeze him, but to reflect on what he did not do well…

How can you find such a good child in modern times!

Lin Zhao began to fool him: “No, everyone has their 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 likes the broken straw mat?”

Bu Er, who was raised innocently in the deep mountains, believed what he said, and when he went to bed at night, he also found that senior brother Shantong really liked the paired broken straw mat.

The abbot really knows a lot. Seeing senior brother Shantong’s blissful face pressed against the broken straw mat, Bu Er sighed.

Of course, that was at night, and now we are back in the backyard of Qingquan Temple during the day.

Shantong prepared a table of food and put it in front of Lin Zhao and Bu Er. 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 put a chopstick in his mouth curiously, and shouted out, “Oh my God! Is this fried winter melon?! Why is it so fresh, sweet and delicious! Looks like you can cook very well!”

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? Bu Er muttered, and ran to open the door.

Soon he returned to the backyard, followed by a scholar.

The scholar’s hair was tied up 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.

Bu Er brought him in front of Lin Zhao, “This is our abbot.”

Thescholar showed a modest and gentle smile, and bowed to Lin Zhao, “Abbot, please excuse me.”

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 the temple for one month to prepare for the exam, I wonder if it’s convenient?”

Seeing Lin Zhao pondering, he said: “Abbot, I’m willing to pay 600 coins for incense. My 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, and the restwill be used for the few days of the rural exams.”

He spoke sincerely, and it can be seen that he has suffered a lot along the way.

Lin Zhao said to him: “No, the benefactor misunderstood. Due to the turmoil of the past few days, 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 words, a systematic voice sounded in his ears Electronic sound.

[Dingthe squatter’s hut is too damaged! Laymen who come to stay have no place to live!

Please complete Task 2:

Repair the Lay House as soon as possible.]

Lin Zhao holded his forehead, his purse was about to be injured again.

After receiving the task, he continued to say to the scholar:

“It will take some time for repairs. At present, only the monk’s dormitory can live in. If the benefactor doesn’t mind, he will live with the monks in my temple for a few days. After the dormitory over there is repaired, he can concentrate on preparing for the exam.”

Thescholar was overjoyed: I dont mind, I dont mind.

This is the most suitable place for scholars to find. It was the first time he went to Fucheng to take the exam, and he didnt have enough money to live in an inn in the city. He 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.

[DingCongratulations on completing the task!

Get a reward [Small Desk x1]]

[The layman staying overnight needs to light up the lamp to read at night, just in need of a desk, quickly put it on! ]

Lin Zhao squinted his eyes at the latter, a rare thoughtful reminder that had never appeared 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 be used for reading)

Attribute: It seems to be just an ordinary and simple desk, and I have not found anything special~

Condition: Incense up to 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 Bu Er who gets up to clean the yard to study.

After resting for a while, he followed 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.
