Chapter 164: The Righteous Master Yun Tianlin
The same plot and the same scene are also happening to the Taoist priests in Tzu Chi Temple.
The honest and loyal people of Shangyang City left their sachets and ran into an alley, where a handsome and noble young man was waiting.
"Master, I have given you the two sachets as you instructed."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Jin."
This handsome and noble young man is naturally Lin Ye, and this loyal and honest citizen of Shangyang County is Xu Bo’s son Xu Jin.
Let Xu Jin leave, and soon Lin Ye came out of the alley humming a little tune.
He was not sure about the strength of the Taoist priests in Tzu Chi Temple and Taoyuan Temple, and they might not be very strong, but he understood one thing better: the best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
If you can avoid taking action, do so.
Lin Ye walked into the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was about to greet him when he saw Lin Ye, but was stopped by Lin Ye's eyes.
Guests come to stay.
It is his inheritance.
As early as half a year ago, he found the original owner of the restaurant through Xu Bo, spent money to buy it from the other party, and then renovated it. Otherwise, it would not have been named the Presidential Suite.
But in the entire restaurant, only the shopkeeper knows that he is the owner.
The waiter came over and Lin Ye ordered a pot of wine and a few plates of snacks, waiting for the show to begin.
A quarter of an hour later.
Captain Yang led a dozen detectives into the restaurant. He glanced at the lobby and saw Lin Ye sitting by the window. He nodded slightly and shouted to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, are there any outsiders staying in your restaurant?"
"Captain Yang, what you said is not true. Aren't all the people staying in the hotel from other places? Who in the city would stay in the hotel?"
"Don't interrupt me. Someone has reported to the authorities that valuables have been lost. They suspect that it was committed by an outsider. All rooms occupied by people will be searched."
Captain Yang didn't know that the owner of this restaurant was Lin Ye, and he had a stern face and was very serious. At this moment, in the room upstairs, two young Taoists were holding a marble and observing it.
Marbles, which are very common in modern times, can be considered treasures in the other world.
When the two young Taoists saw the marbles in the sachet, they were immediately attracted to them. Now under the light of the oil lamp, the marbles were shining with a dazzling luster.
Neither of them chose to tell the senior brother about this matter.
The reason is very simple. The cultivation world in the other world cannot establish secular power, which means that Taoist temples and Buddhist temples can only earn money from incense offerings, or get rewards for helping people solve some ghost incidents.
Under such circumstances, the Taoists and monks in the other world did not live a particularly wealthy life.
After all, there are not many people who are good at management like Abbot Jin Guang of Miaoying Temple. To be more precise, most of the masters of Taoist temples and abbots of Buddhist temples still have to save their dignity and put on airs in order to avoid being despised by people in the circle.
The two Taoists were young, and thought that this was a reward from others as a token of gratitude, so it would be okay for them to accept it. If they told their senior brother about it, maybe he would take it away.
…
A quarter of an hour later!
Captain Yang and his fellow constables came down from upstairs with a group of Taoist priests.
"Don't push, we are Taoyuan Temple."
"Bah, I think you are just scoundrels. Do you think you can fool us by wearing Taoist robes and dressing up as Taoist priests?"
One of the constables saw a Taoist priest looking at him angrily, so he slapped him without any hesitation. The Taoist priest dodged by turning his head and was about to fight back, but the older senior brother shouted, "Third Junior Brother, stop it!"
Practitioners must not come into conflict with the government.
This is an iron rule.
Similarly, government officials are not allowed to take action against practitioners, and a balance is maintained .
Anyone who dares to break this rule will be severely punished.
In this case, it depends on who is right.
It was very obvious that Tzu Chi Temple and Taoyuan Temple were not in the right this time, because the police had indeed found the precious glass bead on the young disciple's body.
"Big Brother, I was wrongly accused. This orb was given to me when I just left home. A commoner asked me for a talisman to ward off evil spirits, and then gave me a sachet to express his gratitude. This orb was placed in the sachet ."
The young Taoist explained, but Captain Yang sneered: "It's just an exorcism talisman. How can you exchange it for such a treasure? You really think all of us are fools. Let's go!"
"Big Brother, I didn't lie."
The older Taoist priest remained silent, because he did not believe what his junior fellow apprentice said. The talisman was only worth a few dollars. This thing was in the Taoist temple. People who burned incense only had to give one or two taels of silver as incense money and could take one home. And the pearl was obviously worth a thousand gold. Who would exchange this treasure for an exorcism talisman?
Captain Yang took these Taoists to the yamen. Lin Ye waited until they had gone far away before he stood up from the table and strolled out of the restaurant.
…
…
One hour later!
The cell where the Taoist priests of Tzu Chi Temple were detained.
"Big Brother, I really didn't steal it. This was really given to me by that commoner."
"Okay, stop talking. After you challenge Qingfeng Temple, go back and explain the situation to your master."
The eldest brother was a little impatient, and the other junior brothers beside him asked: "Elder brother, what should we do now? We won't be locked up like this forever, right?"
"Not really. They will let us go in a few days at most."
"A few days."
Several junior fellow apprentices looked at the young Taoist priest with even more dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the junior fellow apprentice, they should be resting comfortably in the restaurant room now. How could they be locked up in this shabby cell?
"Mr. Lin, this way please!"
Just as these Taoists were complaining, a sound was heard outside the prison door, and then these Taoists saw the captain of the police who had arrested them earlier coming over with a nobleman in a white cloak, with a flattering look on his face.
"Master Lin, these are the green-skinned thieves pretending to be Taoist priests."
"We are not thieves, we are really Taoist priests from Tzu Chi Temple."
A Taoist priest immediately retorted when he heard this. Captain Yang glared at him, but the nobleman coughed and said, "Captain Yang, can you let me talk to these people in private?"
"This...I'm afraid it's a little against the rules."
Captain Yang had an embarrassed expression, and the young man took something out of his sleeve and stuffed it into Captain Yang's sleeve very cleverly. Although the action was very secretive, the Taoist priests at the Tzu Chi Temple could see it clearly.
The nobleman slipped a check to the constable.
"Forget it. Mr. Lin is not an outsider. I still have to give him this favor, but it will only take a quarter of an hour."
Captain Yang took the money and left. The noble young man turned around and looked at the Taoists of Ciji Temple. He bowed and then said, "I am Lin Ye, a lay disciple of Qingfeng Temple. I am honored to meet all the Taoists of Ciji Temple."
"Are you from Qingfeng Temple?"
The elder brother of Ciji Temple was a little surprised, and then he bowed his head and said, "I am Yunsheng of Ciji Temple."
"Brother Yunsheng, the owner of the restaurant has already told me about your experience. There must be a trick. With the reputation of Ciji Temple and the identities of you fellow Taoists, how could you get away with stealing?"
Lin Ye's words made the Taoists at Ciji Temple feel very comfortable. Senior Brother Yunsheng even said with emotion: "Thank you, Brother Lin, for your understanding. I just regret that this constable in the government office is unreasonable."
"The government office has always been like this. I have also learned the details. A wealthy family in the city lost a priceless glass pearl. I think the thief knew that the government office would do its best to track down the thief. In order to find a scapegoat, he deliberately set a trap and took advantage of people's greed... curiosity. In this way, he can put the blame on fellow Taoists, while the real thief can get away with it."
Listening to Lin Ye's words, the young Taoist priest felt a little ashamed. It was because of his greed that he implicated his fellow brothers.
"But fellow Taoists, rest assured, I am still quite influential in the city, and I have a good relationship with the government. I will definitely work hard for you and help you clear your grievances."
"this……"
Taoist Yunsheng felt a little embarrassed. They came here to challenge him, and Qingfeng Temple had arranged for them to stay. Now that something happened, they had to save them . This kind of narrow-mindedness made him ashamed.
"My fellow Taoists, please be patient and wait for the news."
Lin Ye left in a hurry. Looking at Lin Ye's departing back, the Taoists in Tzu Chi Temple were also very emotional.
"Big Brother, the Taoist Priest Dawu of Qingfeng Temple and this fellow Taoist Lin are both extremely warm-hearted people."
"Yes, if I were a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, I would probably not be able to do this."
Put yourself in their shoes. If they were disciples of Qingfeng Temple, facing someone who came to challenge them, not only would they arrange accommodation for them, but they would also help rescue them and not add insult to injury. This would already be very good.
Taoist Yunsheng's expression was also changing. After a while, he sighed and said, "Let's talk about everything after we get out."
Outside the prison door.
Captain Yang saw Lin Ye coming out and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lin, what should we do next?"
"Just lock him up for a day and then let him go."
"good."
"What about the Taoists in Taoyuan Temple?"
"Same, let's go. Captain Yang will have to accompany me one more time."
…
The next day!
The Taoist priests from Tzu Chi Temple finally walked out of the cell.
"Big Brother, where are we going now?"
"Go to Qingfeng Temple."
Taoist Yunsheng looked very determined. When his fellow disciples heard what he said, their expressions became a little strange. They had just heard from the constable that the reason they were able to get out so quickly was that Master Lin had asked the county magistrate for mercy and also spent a lot of money.
Going to Qingfeng Temple now would be like repaying kindness with enmity.
"What are you thinking? Master Lin is so righteous that even if we have to leave, we have to come and express our gratitude."
…
"Fellow Taoists, have a safe journey!"
"Take care, Mr. Lin."
At the gate of Shangyang City, Lin Ye waved goodbye to Tzu Chi Temple and turned around only after he could no longer see the other party.
"Mr. Lin is truly kind-hearted."
"Yes, not only did he send us out of the city, he also arranged a carriage for us. He is truly a man of great generosity."
The Taoist priests of Tzu Chi Temple were riding in a horse-drawn carriage, and they were filled with emotion as they looked at Lin Ye who was still waving from afar behind them.
Half an hour later, at the same location, Lin Ye also sent off the Taoists from Taoyuan Temple and received the same evaluation.
Young Master Lin is a man of great righteousness.
