Chapter 459

The three old Taoists soon arrived at the small courtyard where Bei Hai lived. When they entered the yard and arrived at the door of the house, they heard the snoring sounds coming from the house.

"Uncle Master! Uncle Master!" Old Dao An bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door a few times and said.

The people in the room did not answer and the snoring did not diminish at all. Old Dao An couldn't help but increase the volume and shouted several times when he heard this.

"Yes!" Tang Hao was the first to wake up by Old Dao's voice. After hearing it for two times, he reached out and pushed Xu Huiyiran, then stretched out his feet and came up against Bei Hai's butt that was not far away.

Bei Hai and Xu Hui both opened their eyes.

Bei Hai heard the voice of Old Dao outside, frowned and yawned, "Come in!".

When the three old Taoists heard this, they pushed open the door. They heard the door creaking and then the three old Taoists walked in one after another.

"Uncle Master, Junior Brother Sun said you have something to say to us." After Old Dao An came in, he put on the mat directly. After coming up, the two old Dao sat down cross-legged.

Bei Hai looked at the three old Taoists and even seemed to have rules. Old Taoists suddenly stood in front of the middle, Wu and Sun, half of the body position, left and right, behind.

"There is something to tell you," said Bei Hai.

As soon as he heard Bei Hai say something was wrong and tell the three old Taoists, Tang Hao said directly: "If you have something to do, then Xu Hui and I will avoid it." After that, he would reach out and pull Xu Hui to stand up.

Bei Hai waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, and you guys already know it!" When he said this, Bei Hai pointed to two gold bags that were still placed a little behind the door of the house.

Tang Hao and Xu Hui understood at a glance that it was not a big deal. Bei Hai was talking about bringing two pieces of gold up the mountain. Thinking of this, Tang Hao pulled Xu Hui and helped Bei Hai carry the two small plastic boxes over and deliver them to Bei Hai.

Bei Hai reached out and pressed one, two or three directly on the number lock on the box, and the box opened with a click.

As soon as the box was opened, Bei Hai turned the box and opened it and said to the three old Taoists: "It's no big deal to ask you to come, just give this gold to you. As for how you deal with it, it's not my business."

Old man An looked at the two pieces of gold and couldn't help but say to Bei Hai: "Uncle Master. These two pieces seem to be a bit too much. The Sanqing golden statue is not used so much, and one is more than enough."

Wu Laodao continued An Laodao's words: "Uncle Master. The Sanqing statue is not decorated with gold powder all over the body, only a part is needed. One piece is really enough."

Bei Hai listened to the words of the two old Taoists and said, "If you come out, just paint some more places, such as the statue of the sect leader in the inner hall, and the statue of the god in the front hall, you can come a little!"

Wu Sun and the two old Taoists heard Bei Hai say this and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two looked at each other and didn't know how to evaluate the uncle Bei Hai. Although they were dissatisfied with this or that, the uncle in front of them really made the two of them unable to say anything when it comes to paying money.

After hearing what Bei said, Old Dao An nodded, but the three old Dao did not put the boxes together and took them back, but sat with Bei Hai, and Old Dao Sun talked about some things in the view. For example, how to arrange pilgrims when they come in the future, the main part is vegetarian and other fees.

After hearing less than three minutes, Bei Hai raised his hand and interrupted Old Dao Sun and said, "You can discuss these things yourself. I have the same idea here, don't turn Tianyuan Temple into a place to make money."

"That's absolutely impossible," said Wu Laodao immediately: "Our Tianyuan Temple is not the pilgrimage we are seeking for, but is a place for the cultivation of the Qing Dynasty..."

Bei Hai immediately raised his hand as he heard the old Taoist preparing to start the missionary mode again: "Okay, I understand! Anyway, that's what you mean, you'll be fine if you understand it." Bei Hai didn't want to hear these Taoist priests talking about the cultivation of the Qing priests.

After saying that, Bei Hai wanted to say that there was nothing to do and let everyone go, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Tang Hao, Xu Hui and the book on the next desk, he remembered what they said before.

"Is there anything unnecessary about these books on the table? Xu Hui and Tang Hao like this book very much and want to get a few books to read when they have time," said Bei Hai.

When Old Dao An heard this, he looked at Old Dao Sun. Old Dao Sun looked at Bei Hai with a little embarrassed look and muttered his lips twice as if he had something to say.

When Bei Hai saw this, he thought these things were something that could not be circulated. When he thought of this, he said, "If it doesn't work, it won't be fine."

"Not this! These books were copied and copied by the disciples in the temple and were originally sold or given away, but in the past two years, the disciples have been busy rebuilding..." said Sun Laodao.

Bei Hai listened to the old Taoist nagging for several minutes before he realized that copying some introductory books was also the "cultivation" of the little Taoist priests. These well-copied books were not kept for reading, but for selling to some believers. Of course, the believers of Tianyuan Temple were not hard-working people in the past, but were mainly rich merchants and politicians in the past. Later, these classes were almost wiped out by New China, and Tianyuan Temple was over.

"Then wait for next time," Bei Hai said to Xu Hui and Tang Hao.

Tang Hao nodded after hearing this: "Okay!".

"You don't have to wait until next time!" Old Dao Sun said at this time.

Bei Hai looked at Old Dao Sun and said a little dissatisfied: "Can you finish your words in one go?"

"It's my fault!" Sun Laodao was not angry and continued: "If you two want it, you can copy it today for about two days and copy it, one copy is 200 yuan, but if you want the same person's handwriting, it will take four days, one copy is 300 yuan."

After hearing this, Bei Hai was a little stunned. Now, Old Dao Sun had even talked about business in front of him. He put two gold in front of him and asked for money. This made Bei Hai very unhappy. His face suddenly collapsed.

At this time, Old Dao An said to Bei Hai: "Don't blame me, this is the rule that has been passed down in the temple. These books are copied by the disciples themselves not only for self-cultivation and meditation, but also for a little income. Half of the income they buy belongs to the temple and half to the daily expenses of the disciples. It is considered an income from the temple, even if you want it, you have to pay the money. Because this is the book that the disciples have copied, and the disciples cannot owe it." After saying this, he bowed to Bei Hai again.

When Bei Hai heard this, what he said made sense. These Taoist priests copied books and worked hard, they could not take the fruits of their labor in vain. What is the difference between eating for free? Thinking of this, Bei Hai's anger disappeared.

Tang Hao and Xu Hui only cost a few hundred yuan when they heard this. How could they take it too seriously? Xu Hui immediately said: "I will give you one copy of the things on the desk, and I will copy them all by myself and help me choose a good person to copy them."

"Same as above!" Tang Hao's words were very concise.

After hearing this, Old Dao Sun smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry. The disciples in Guan are quite skilled in both calligraphy and painting!"

The matter was solved and Bei Hai didn't remember it. Xu Hui remembered it and asked the three old Taoists: "Master, why did you only build a stone road, not a road leading to the mountain? There is a saying that if you want to be rich, you must first build a road! If you have to climb so many steps in the temple, isn't there half of the pilgrims? Even the five mountains have cable cars connected."

Old Taoist An said, "We do not ask for believers to build such a road, so why do we need to build such a road? If the believers are determined, they can naturally come up. The county does recommend that we build such a road, but I don't have such a thought."

Wu Laodao also said: "If you want to bow to the Three Pure Land, just come up. If these steps block your feet, it would be better if these people would not come up."

The three old Taoists talked about this issue one after another. Bei Hai, Tang Hao and Xu Hui and others understood after listening for a while. It turned out that the county meant to build a road that went straight up the mountain, while the three old Taoists directly rejected the proposal and only built this stone road from Bujia Village to Guanqian.

The county just wanted to do what they did when someone paid the money in the temple, but the county did not agree, so the county would not get entangled. Of course, it was not easy for the county to speak for nothing, but although these old masters had no money, some of the people who had "caught cheating" in the "risk of the rivers and lakes" for so many years have accumulated some connections.

Bei Hai is thinking about repairing this road now that he is determined not to pay for it. The so-called Jinqiao Yinlu Bei Hai does not have so much money to feed a bunch of turtles who have broken their hearts and lungs.

After chatting for a while, Bei Hai signaled everyone to part.

Wusun and the two old Taoists each walked out the door with a piece of gold. When they arrived at the door, the old Taoist Sun turned to Bei Hai and said, "Uncle Master, should dinner be delivered here, or should you and a few go to the canteen to have it."

"Why don't you eat at the canteen?" Xu Hui said to Bei Hai.

Bei Hai nodded after hearing this: "Then let's eat in the canteen!"

When Old Dao Sun heard this, he said, "You can go in from the left hand of the inner hall." After saying that, he left Bei Hai's house and helped Bei Hai bring it to the door.

Seeing the old Taoists leaving, Tang Hao smiled at Xu Hui and said, "You don't want to see that Taoist nun!"

Xu Hui said: "Don't you think there are many memories of the word "canteen"? When I was in college, when it was time for dinner, a man with a basin and a bowl ran towards the canteen. Now I will try to experience this feeling again."

"There are still some things worth remembering when queuing for dinner?" Bei Hai was a little confused.

Xu Hui seized the opportunity now: "People who have never been to college will not have this kind of experience!"

Tang Hao immediately looked at Bei Hai and was happy. Bei Hai sighed helplessly: "Okay, I haven't been to college, I'm illiterate! Finally, you boy got a little bit of superiority." Looking at Xu Hui's appearance, Bei Hai said again: "I'm sleeping under the roof when I was in college today!"

"Okay, I haven't been there!" Tang Hao said.

Xu Hui looked at Bei Hai and asked, "By the way, why does your gold look like it's been bitten by a dog? You won't be cheated, right?"

I don’t know why. Xu Hui remembered that he had just seen the gold nuggets, which seemed to have scratches on them.

After hearing what Xu Hui said, Tang Hao nodded and looked at Bei Hai: "Don't be deceived, right?"

Bei Hai immediately said: "Where will go wrong when you get it through the regular channel? There was something on it, but people said that the gold was soft, so I tried it with a hammer. Then when I got addicted to knocking it, it turned out like this."
