Happy Little Scholar

"Monks should abstain from eating meat. Don't joke, little donor Li. There is no need for a banquet." Old monk Tanyin still had a faint smile on his face and said, "What did the little donor say about Guanyin just now..."

At a certain moment, Master Tanyin's voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the Guanyin statue on the table.

The young monks behind him also widened their eyes, and the next moment, piety appeared on their faces.

Lao Fang took a step forward cautiously. If these monks dared to snatch things, he would not be polite.

"Master, master..." Seeing that old monk Tanyin had stopped speaking, Li Yi stretched out his hand and waved it gently in front of his eyes.

Master Tanyin's body was shaken, and then a look of guilt immediately appeared on his face, and he said: "Amitabha, I lost my temper for a moment, I hope Donor Li will not blame me."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Li Yi smiled and waved his hand and said, "I wonder, Master, how much is this Guanyin statue worth?"

"Amitabha..." the old monk recited the Buddha's name again and said, "This is the seated statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. How can it be measured by these yellow and white things in the world?"

"Master, what you mean is..." Li Yi looked at him and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this a priceless treasure?"

"Priceless."

The old monk Tanyin nodded and said: "Glass is a priceless treasure. The value of such a precious glass seated statue of Bodhisattva cannot be measured by money. It should be worshiped by believers in the temple. I wonder if Donor Xiao Li can part with it and give it to him." Give me the glazed Bodhisattva statue to Hanshan Temple?”

Li Yi's expression was startled, and he looked at the old monk Tanyin in disbelief.

He originally thought that he himself was eclectic enough, but he didn't expect that Master Tanyin was even more eclectic than himself.

They say it's a priceless treasure, so why do you still have the nerve to say that it's a gift to you, Hanshan Temple?

When Lao Fang heard this, his face immediately fell and he took a step forward. Although the old monk looked a little troublesome, if he wanted to snatch this thing away, he must let him taste the power of his fists.

"Master is joking..." Li Yi smiled and said: "We spent a lot of effort to get this glazed Guanyin statue. It is worth a lot of money and we are about to sell it to Fahua Temple..."

Master Tanyin's expression changed, and he immediately asked: "I wonder how much money, Mr. Li, this glazed Guanyin statue is going to be sold for?"

"Five thousand taels?" Li Yi asked tentatively.

"Whatever Fahua Temple gives you, I, Hanshan Temple, will pay double!"

Before Master Tanyin could speak, a young monk behind him immediately stepped forward and spoke eagerly.

"Faming, step back." Master Tanyin said softly, and the young monk immediately stepped back.

Although the young monk retreated, there was an anxious look on his face.

Hanshan Temple and Fahua Temple are the two most famous temples near Kyoto, and both have a large number of believers. If this precious glazed seated statue of Avalokitesvara is obtained by Fahua Temple, they will definitely treat it as a treasure, and Promote it to attract believers.

In this way, wouldn't Hanshan Temple be quickly defeated by them?

Li Yi glanced at the young monk. If five thousand taels were doubled, wouldn't that be ten thousand taels?

With such a large amount, this young monk can make the decision------The monk is actually so rich. It seems that the old emperor's anti-corruption campaign may have gone to the wrong target!

"Lao Monk was abrupt just now." Old Monk Tanyin saluted Li Yi and said, "It's just that this Avalokitesvara statue is very important to my Hanshan Temple. I would like to ask Donor Li to help me a lot. As for the price, it's still Donor Xiao Li, please rest assured that I, Hanshan Temple, will never let you suffer."

"It's easy to talk." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Master and I are friends. If we really want to sell this Buddha statue, of course we should consider Hanshan Temple first."

The old monk recited the Buddha's name again, "Amitabha, so I would like to thank donor Xiao Li first."

…

…

Half an hour later.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li. I'll take my leave. There's no need for Mr. Li to send any more gifts..."

"Goodbye, master..." Li Yi smiled and sent Master Tanyin and several young monks out the door.

A young monk reminded the young monk: "Senior brother, please hold on tightly. Don't fall. If it breaks, it will be a big sin!"

"Do not worry."

The young monk hugged the contents of the package tightly. This was a great opportunity to promote Hanshan Temple, attract believers, and surpass Fahua Temple in one fell swoop. How could he be careless?

"I forgot, this time I asked Donor Xiao Li to help translate a scripture." Old monk Tanyin sighed and said leisurely.

Although the matter of the scriptures has been put on hold for the time being, the harvest is far better than the scriptures...

"Master is leaving now?" A soft voice came from the side. Master Tanyin turned his head, nodded slightly and said, "Mrs. Li."

After a few simple greetings, Master Tanyin and several monks turned and left.

After taking two steps, he looked back again, his eyes filled with meaning.

"Master, what's wrong?" the young monk asked doubtfully.

Master Tanyin shook his head and said: "Nothing, let's go..."

…

…

"I have a biological mother..."

After watching Master Tanyin and several monks leave, Lao Fang sat down on the chair, his hand shaking as he picked up the tea cup.

Eight thousand taels, a full eight thousand taels!

The thing made from the pile of sand was sold for 8,000 taels in the end, and according to the monks' reactions, this price might be increased...

When I walked out of the courtyard and looked at the pile of sand not far away, I instantly felt that I was the richest man in the world.

Inside the house, Li Yi paced in the hall. A glass Guanyin statue was sold for 8,000 taels. Anyway, monks have money. If I make another Buddha statue, and tell Fahua Temple that Hanshan Temple bought a glass Guanyin statue from me for 20,000 taels, will Fahua Temple buy the Buddha statue for 30,000 taels?

If I tell Hanshan Temple that Fahua Temple spent 50,000 taels to buy a taller and bigger glass Buddha statue, will Hanshan Temple spend another 100,000 taels to buy an upgraded version of Guanyin statue...

If I tell Fahua Temple that Hanshan Temple spent 150,000 taels-----Forget it, you can't be like this. This is too unscrupulous. You will get retribution for cheating monks like this.

Even if you want to cheat, you can't just cheat Hanshan Temple and Fahua Temple. What about Jinshan Temple, Nanhua Temple, Donghua Temple, Beihua Temple, Xihua Temple..., cheat one place after another, cheat Jingguo to Qiguo, after Qiguo to Zhaoguo, cheat all the monks in the world, how much silver will it cost?

After cheating the monks, you can also cheat the Taoist priests, build a bunch of glass statues of Taishang Laojun, and go to Jingguo, Qiguo, Zhaoguo...

Get rich, get rich...

What is the Wang family, what is the Ma family, from now on, the Li family is the richest in the world!
