Chapter 370: Xuan Hui, You Are Really a Talent
Bang!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Tried it seven times in a row!
By the eighth time, Xiaobai's magical talent could no longer be displayed.
Eight times!
It’s Xiaobai’s limit.
In addition to testing this, Lin Ye also tested the duration of time Xiaobai's talent could freeze enemies at different levels.
Just as Lao Shi said, Xiaobai's ability to freeze the body is equally applicable to all living beings.
He exerted the power of a hundred furnaces in one breath.
It only takes one breath to exert the power of the Hidden God Realm.
This is true for the Martial Saint and the Yuanshen Realm as well.
This also means that the virtual god realm above the primordial spirit should also be able to stay still for a breath of time.
As for the realm of true god.
In Lao Shi's words, you're dreaming.
"Xiao Bai, let's change your name. You...just call yourself Xiao Qi."
Lin Ye held Xiaobai in his arms, stroking his glans to comfort him. Originally, he wanted to simply call him Xiaohei, but he felt that this was a bit too perfunctory.
Xiaoqi.
The name is catchy and also shows that he put some effort into it.
"Xiao... Qi, okay, I will be called Xiao Qi from now on. Thank you Ye Ye for giving me the name."
After Xiao Qi transformed this time, his speech and other aspects were much better than before, except that he couldn't change Lin Ye's name.
Let it be every night.
Lin Ye didn't bother to correct Xiao Qi's pronunciation.
…
…
After staying in the mansion for a few more days, Lao Shi started nagging about taking Lin Ye for a walk.
The other world is a strange world for Lao Shi, so it is naturally novel. Lin Ye forbids him to go out alone, so naturally he can't hold it back.
"Let's go out today."
Lin Ye chose to go out, not because of Lao Shi’s muttering, but because he received an invitation.
It was sent by his nephew Xuanhui.
Lin Ye knew without even thinking that his nephew was probably going to borrow his fame to run his business again.
But who asked me to be his uncle?
However, when he arrived at Miaoying Temple again, although he was mentally prepared, Lin Ye still wanted to turn around and leave.
"Warmly congratulate our temple's Grand Master Uncle for achieving the position of the Supreme Spirit"
"To celebrate the ascension of Master Taishang Daoji to the right position of the primordial spirit, our temple is holding a grand celebration to give back to believers"
"Quotes from Grand Master: Martial Saint vs. Primordial Spirit, most people would make a choice, but my master said he wants them all"
…
…
"Uncle Master!"
Just when Lin Ye was about to turn around and leave, Xuan Hui came running over with a crying voice and a look of grievance on her face.
Are you still feeling aggrieved?
Lin Ye was so angry that he laughed. He just looked at Xuan Hui. This guy couldn't come up with an answer that satisfied him, so he didn't mind fulfilling his duties as a master's uncle.
"Uncle, I have had a very hard time recently and have been ridiculed by others." Xuan Hui felt the murderous intent in Lin Ye's eyes, and his fat body trembled. He immediately complained, "Everyone knows that you are a disciple of Miaoying Temple, but now you have become a martial saint and have cultivated your primordial spirit, but you have not achieved the golden body in Buddhist practice. Those people use this to mock me, saying that I don't even consider myself a Buddhist disciple."
"My nephew is wronged. How could you not be a Buddhist disciple? How could you not regard Miaoying Temple as your home?"
"At the beginning, the induction ceremony of my nephew and others was presided over by you, uncle. Master and uncle entrusted Miaoying Temple to you because they knew that you had feelings for Miaoying Temple and a sense of belonging."
"I argued with these people, but they just said that they had never seen my uncle come to the temple, and they had never heard my uncle admit to being a disciple of Miaoying Temple. This left me speechless."
"It's nothing for my nephew to suffer a little injustice, but how can I let the world misunderstand my uncle? Lion has no choice but to do this to prove to the world that my uncle has Miaoying Temple in his heart."
…
…
Xuan Hui opened and closed his mouth and said a lot of things, and Lin Ye was actually left speechless.
"My goodness, if this monk were to work as a salesperson in modern society, he would definitely be the best seller. He is really good at talking."
Even the talkative Old Shi was impressed by Xuan Hui's eloquence.
Although he knew that Xuan Hui was talking nonsense, Lin Ye couldn't get angry at him.
"So you came here this time just to let me show up, right? Tell me what you plan to do, and I'll cooperate with you this time."
"Uncle, you misunderstood me again. How dare I ask you to show up in public? I asked you to come here this time because there is something important going on and I need you to take charge."
"What's the big deal?"
"The Golden Buddha Inauguration Ceremony and the Water and Land Ceremony held for the believers who came to watch the ceremony after the ceremony."
Lin Ye rolled his eyes. The Golden Buddha Inauguration Ceremony was all a cover. The real purpose was to let him attend the Water and Land Ceremony.
The Water and Land Dharma Assembly is open to the public. At that time, many believers and even practitioners will come. If one appears at the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, the status of Miaoying Temple will naturally rise.
This is just like the book-sharing sessions that some writers hold nowadays, with a book signing event at the end of the event.
How can you come to class without buying a few books?
In this way, the writer's book can be sold, and the institution or school that came to invite the author has completed the cultural publicity task assigned by them.
Win-win!
It also creates hardship for those who are forced to attend the lecture, listen to a sharing session, and buy a bunch of books that they may never open again.
…
…
The Golden Buddha Inauguration Ceremony.
Lin Ye followed Xuan Hui to the Golden Buddha Hall built behind the temple.
As soon as you enter the temple.
"Good fellow, what a good fellow."
Lao Shi could no longer hold back his excitement, Lin Ye's mouth twitched as well, and only Xuan Hui's fat face had a hint of pride.
These are the golden Buddhas he cast after he became abbot, a total of seventy-two.
Each statue is more than three meters tall and is made of pure gold.
"Did your nephew collect all the gold in this world? Or is the gold in this world just lying around?"
Lao Shi couldn't help but complain, and Lin Ye was also speechless. He knew that the gold reserves in the other world were much greater than those in the real world, but his nephew was exaggerating too much.
How much money has he collected from incense offerings over the years?
Seeing Lin Ye's face darken, Xuan Hui was a little confused. Shouldn't the uncle praise him?
"Xuan Hui, kneel down!"
Lin Ye's expression was serious, and his sudden words scared Xuan Hui, but Xuan Hui knelt on the ground without any hesitation.
"What is the first rule of Miaoying Temple?"
"Propagate the Dharma and save people with compassion."
Lin Ye sneered: "You still remember the temple rules, then let me ask you, in order to cast these golden Buddhas, how much money did you extort from the believers? I'm afraid some of the believers have lost their fortunes because of your trickery."
Before becoming a practitioner, Lin Ye held a neutral attitude towards religion, neither opposing nor supporting it.
It is not a bad thing for a person to have a belief.
Don’t talk about feudal superstition. Sometimes we have such thoughts, or at least we have some fear in our hearts.
There is a god above your head!
Go to hell after death!
In the next life, he will be reborn as an animal.
These will more or less make people feel awe.
But he hated those Taoists and monks who used the names of gods and Buddhas to defraud believers of their money.
In his opinion, the Miaoying Temple was able to cast so many golden Buddha statues, probably because all the believers in the entire Shangyang City, oh no, the entire Canglan County were plundered clean.
Lin Ye grew up in the countryside. He is very familiar with the situation in some backward areas. The more backward the area, the more he believes in these things.
The child's relative fell ill with a strange disease, and in order to cure the disease instead of seeing a doctor, he donated all his money to temples and Taoist temples in exchange for so-called talisman water that could cure the disease.
In order to show his piety, even though he had very little money at home, he still went to the temple to donate money for incense.
People who usually can't afford to buy even a bottle of mineral water will donate hundreds or thousands of dollars in incense and merit money to temples or Taoist temples.
"Uncle Master...you have misunderstood me."
Xuan Hui understood what Lin Ye said and knew that his uncle had misunderstood.
"Uncle, how dare I violate the temple rules? These golden Buddhas were indeed donated by believers, but I didn't collect too much money from poor people and believers with average family conditions."
"These golden Buddhas were donated by dignitaries. I only promised them that I would engrave the names of the donors below the golden Buddhas."
"Not only in Nanjiang Prefecture, many golden Buddha statues were donated by dignitaries from other prefectures."
After listening to Xuan Hui's explanation, Lin Ye was a little stunned. Miaoying Temple has become popular in other states?
In Nanjiang Province, he would not be surprised if Xuan Hui could have influence under his name, but in other provinces...
"Uncle Master, didn't Shopkeeper Xu tell you that our Miaoying Temple and Dahan Commercial Bank have reached a strategic cooperation and are now strategic partners. All shopkeepers of Dahan Commercial Bank will receive a consecrated amulet from our Miaoying Temple..."
Xuan Hui explained the reason, and as a modern person, Lin Ye understood it almost instantly.
Advertising endorsement.
With the influence of the Han Trading Company now spreading throughout the alien world, the dignitaries from other states would inevitably ask a few questions when they see the amulet of the owner of the Han Trading Company, and even many merchants would follow suit.
However, Lin Ye also believed that Xuan Hui might have also taken a loss to the company.
After all, when it comes to wealth, no one in the world is richer than the Dahan Trading Company, and the shopkeepers of the company are all wealthy.
I guess Xuanhui is just using his own reputation to attract customers. How could the shop owners dare not buy the products? They would pay a high price to buy them, especially those shop owners with speculative ideas.
"Xuan Hui, you are such a talent."
Lin Ye's sigh came from the heart. It took many to figure out some ways of corruption.
For example, if he lets his relatives open a tea shop, his subordinates or businessmen who need his help will naturally rush to buy.
As for the price.
Tea is the most fragile thing. The same tea can be worth thousands or tens of thousands per pound, or as low as dozens or hundreds.
It's nothing more than making the packaging more exquisite and seamless, then contracting a tea forest, creating your own brand, and then you can decide the price yourself.
"When Yongxin meets you, you two will probably become sworn brothers."
Xuan Hui was somewhat confused by Lin Ye's last sentence and could only smile bitterly.
