System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

Chapter 13 The days when I worked at Tiansheng Temple

What? Fairy aunt? What fairy? Shen Xia's head never turned around.

Before Shen Xia could recover, she saw Lin Yueying slowly getting up and looking at the group of people behind her with a cold expression. "Fairy aunt, the lecture will start soon. Why are you still here? Everyone is waiting for you." The group of people, wearing temple clothes, said to Lin Yueying respectfully.

"I know," Lin Yueying replied coldly, and then turned to look at Shen Xia, who was still confused. "This is my distinguished guest. Help me arrange an elegant stay in the living room." After that, she added He turned to Shen Xia and smiled softly: "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't continue tonight. If you don't mind, stay here for a few nights. I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow."

Shen Xia followed the people from Tiansheng Palace to Yaju in the living room. After being told the precautions for staying overnight, Shen Xia sat on the bed alone, still feeling a little uneasy.

What? Lin Yueying is the fairy aunt of Tiansheng Palace? Is this completely different from the image you imagined? I've already been given accommodation before I even asked? It seems that I even uttered arrogant words and called the fairy aunt by her name?

No wonder there is the smell of incense around the pavilion, no wonder she shows a surprised expression when calling out her name. It’s all because I was too stupid and didn’t expect it to come to this level! Will the fairy girl cause trouble for me? Is it convenient for you to stay overnight and give me, this ignorant guy, a little juice?

Probably not. Looking at the expression on the fairy girl's face at the back, she doesn't seem to care. Could it be that she really sees me as someone who is destined to me? You want me to worship at the gate of Tiansheng Temple? Then if I work in Tiansheng Temple, will it affect my cultivation of immortality?

I just don’t know if the treatment at Tiansheng Temple is good. Not to mention the five insurances and one housing fund, what is the accommodation like? Can I eat meat? After all, I am still growing...

The more Shen Xia thought about it, the more he thought about it, and even the content he imagined could be published directly in a book: "The Days I Worked at Tiansheng Temple". After a long time, I heard noisy footsteps outside the door and finally realized,

"Oh, what Lin Xiangu said is so good. I originally felt like there was a tightness in my chest, and I was still out of breath from time to time. After I came to Tiansheng Temple to stay, I felt much better, especially After listening to Lin Xiangu’s sermon today, I feel that my whole body is enlightened and I don’t breathe anymore!”

"Me too. Lin Xiangu only lectures once a week. Fortunately, we met when we went up the mountain this time. Otherwise, I don't know when we would have gone."

"..."

Most of the voices outside the door discussed how much they had benefited from listening to Lin Yueying's lecture tonight. It seemed that they had returned to the living room to rest after the lecture. Shen Xia waited until everything was quiet outside the door, and after making sure that no one would visit late at night, I also washed up and went to bed full of whims.

The next day Shen Xia got up when she heard the sound of bells and drums. After washing and dressing up in the room, she sat obediently at the Eight Immortals table and waited quietly.

"Dong dong dong" There was a knock on the door. Shen Xia opened the door. Standing outside the door was a monk about four or five years old. He said in a sweet voice: "Senior Shen, did you have a good rest last night?" The monk was wearing a monk's uniform and was not the same group of people who brought Shen Xia to the living room last night.

Shen Xia nodded: "Thank you for the hospitality."

The young monk continued to shake his head and said: "The brothers and sisters are all doing morning service. The abbot is worried that the people below will not provide good hospitality, so he specially sent me to take you to eat."

Shen Xia couldn't help laughing when she saw the little monk's appearance. The little monk was puzzled and looked at Shen Xia with a puzzled face. Shen Xia immediately corrected her posture and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Immortal, I see that you are relatively young, but I didn't expect that you are already a senior brother."

There was a bit of pride in the young monk's eyebrows: "That's natural. I have been in Tiansheng Temple since I was a child, and my qualifications are naturally unmatched by those who come after me. Well, Master Shen, please come with me."

The living room is a place specially used for believers and pilgrims who go up the mountain. Shen Xia followed the young monk. Occasionally, when he met one or two pilgrims or monks, he would stop and bow to each other. Shen Xia also followed behind and imitated it. , passing through a long corridor, Shen Xia followed the young monk to the dining hall. Shen Xia had already seen some pilgrims dining.

The young monk did not stop in front of the living room, but slowed down and said to Shen Xia: "Senior Shen, we usually have three meals here. The meal times are approximately Chen hour, noon hour, and You hour. There will be a dedicated person responsible for ringing the bell at that time. Yun Ban reminds you to eat. However, the abbot has ordered you to use it with her today, so please continue to follow me."

Shen Xia followed the young monk through the living room and side hall, then passed Wofeng Bridge and several pavilions and corridors, and arrived at the Dingfang where the abbot of Tiansheng Temple, Lin Yueying, lived. Shen Xia felt that even if she had breakfast in the dining hall and came back, she would have almost digested it after walking such a long distance, not to mention that she was even hungrier now that she had an empty stomach.

The young monk stepped forward and knocked on the door. After receiving permission, he pushed the door open. After bowing his hands, he exited and said to Shen Xia, "Senior Shen, the poor Taoist was sent here. Please come in."

After Shen Xia entered the door, the young monk gently closed the door again. Shen Xia looked inside the room. The room was very simply decorated. There was an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room, with today's food on it. There was a shrine on the left, enshrining the God of the Sea. Lin Yueying was meditating on the futon under the shrine at the moment. On the right side of the room was It was Lin Yueying's resting area, which was separated by screens and flying covers. Shen Xia didn't even look over there.

Shen Xia did not dare to move, and stood at the door for a while before she saw Lin Yueying getting up and walking over: "Miss Shen, sit down quickly, there is still a certain distance from the living room, if you are later, you may miss the morning meal time. "

Shen Xia was indeed hungry, and she felt that Lin Yueying meant no harm to her, so she followed Lin Yueying's words and sat down at the Eight Immortals table, and said, "I am indeed hungry. Climbing up the mountain last night took a lot of energy. If I hadn't thought about coming to the appointment, I would have fainted from hunger in the pavilion of Tiansheng Temple."

As if to confirm that what Shen Xia said was true, her stomach growled at this moment, "Look, I was right." Shen Xia pointed to her deflated stomach. Even so, Shen Xia still didn't move her chopsticks and just sat next to Lin Yueying.

Lin Yueying was amused by Shen Xia, she picked up a chopstick and put some side dishes in Shen Xia's bowl: "You know Miss Shen is hungry, what else are you doing?"

After hearing this, Shen Xia stopped talking nonsense and directly picked up the porridge and drank it. The breakfast in Tiansheng Temple was relatively simple. Shen Xia had seen it in the dining hall before. This morning it was vegetable porridge, steamed buns, and water. Boiled eggs, there was a plate of sugar triangles on Lin Yueying's table. Although they were all vegetarian, Shen Xia felt that they were different from what she usually ate. She felt that dining in such a sacred place made all the dishes sacred.

After eating two mouthfuls of porridge quickly, Shen Xia couldn't help but slow down and imitate Lin Yueying's example of chewing slowly. Lin Yueying noticed that Shen Xia glanced at her from time to time and found it funny, so she put down the bowl and chopsticks and said: "Shen Xia Why is this girl always peeking at me?" Shen Xia saw that she was caught peeking, so she stopped pretending and looked straight at Lin Yueying.

To be honest, Shen Xia still had that startling glimpse in the pavilion last night, but seeing Lin Yueying today had a different feeling. She felt that her beauty had reached a new level. Shen Xia seemed to understand the ancient saying. What does "beautiful and delicious" mean?

But that was not what she cared about most. After careful consideration, Shen Xia asked, "I didn't know Fairy Girl's identity last night, so I offended her. I hope Fairy Girl won't care about it."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xia clearly felt that the aura around Lin Yueying had cooled down little by little, and even the expression on her face had somewhat returned to what it was when Lin Yueying faced the group of people who invited her last night. The cold look of the person who went to give a lecture.

Shen Xia had already made up her mind, and before Lin Yueying spoke, she put on an aggrieved look: "Sister Yueying, are you unhappy? I heard they all call Sister Yueying the fairy aunt or the abbot. , I was still thinking about it last night. Sister Yueying stood there like a fairy from the Nine Heavenly Palace descending to earth. Sure enough, sister Yueying is the fairy aunt of Tiansheng Temple. I shamelessly came up to call the fairy aunt my sister, but my coarse cloth Mai, how do you deserve to be called sister? Besides, if others hear it, it will be my fault to cause unnecessary trouble to the immortal aunt."

The expression on Lin Yueying's face softened a lot, and she returned to the gentle look she had towards Shen Xia earlier. She lightly patted the back of Shen Xia's hand and quickly took it back: "Miss Shen, I don't care about other people's opinions. , If Miss Shen wants to call me sister, just do it and don’t pay attention to others."

Shen Xia couldn't understand Lin Yueying's sudden slap on the back of her hand. Could it be that her intention to secretly pick up a sugar triangle was discovered? Is the sugar triangle exclusive to Lin Yueying?

But now is not the time to think about this. Sure enough, Shen Xia had just guessed that Lin Yueying was different from others not because she looked like her, but because he called her "Sister Yueying"! Lin Yueying is a character who lacks love for the flower of the high mountains. It’s so touching!

Before Shen Xia could think about it, Lin Yueying pushed the peace talisman she had prepared in front of Shen Xia: "Does Miss Shen have any elders in her family? This is the peace talisman of Tiansheng Temple. It can ward off evil spirits and calm the gods. You can Call me sister, I will always give you something."

"Ding~"

The system that had been silent for a long time suddenly came to a standstill at this moment.

PS: The contents related to etiquette and law in Tiansheng Temple are all borrowed from Taoism. However, since Tiansheng Temple only enshrines the God of Poseidon, which is very different from the Taoist temple, we will try our best to avoid using the words "Taoist priest and Taoist nun". For this type of terminology, it is currently assumed that Tianguan Sect mainly practices Taoism. In the follow-up, we will also pay attention to relevant issues and mark them in time.

In addition, Taoist temples ring bells first and then drums in the morning, and beat drums first and then bells at night, so it is called "morning bells and evening drums".
