The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

Master Liang almost fell off his chair. He stared at Ling Chenyu's innocent face with his eyes wide open, cursing in his heart: This little bastard actually dared to dig a hole for me!

He coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Well, charity and road construction are big things. We need everyone to work together. We can't just rely on me alone."

Ling Chenyu looked at the gloomy face of Master Liang and was delighted.

He blinked and continued to exaggerate with an innocent look: "Grandmaster, you are a pillar of our Daliang State. You have to make great efforts in charity and road construction! Otherwise, what will others think? Maybe they will even say behind your back that you are stingy!"

When Master Liang heard this, he almost jumped up. He widened his eyes, pointed at Ling Chenyu's nose and said, "Don't talk nonsense, kid! I, Liang, have been honest all my life, how could I be stingy? I will pay for the charity and road construction! Isn't it okay for me to pay?"

When Ling Chenyu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Grandmaster is indeed a generous person. I admire you! Then let's make it a deal. The charity and road construction matters will depend on you to take care of them."

Master Liang was so angry at Ling Chenyu's words that he snorted, but he couldn't get angry. He thought: This little bastard is really a live treasure! However, having said that, this charity and road construction matter really needs to be done well. Well, let him be proud for a while, and when the matter is done, I will deal with him!

So, Taifu Liang and Ling Chenyu reached an "agreement".

In the following days, Liang Taifu was busy raising funds, while Ling Chenyu was busy running around and contacting various forces. Although the two of them fought openly and secretly, they did a great job in charity and road construction.

For a moment, the people in Nanyang City were like chicken blood, full of expectations for the practice palace. Everyone gathered together and talked about it.

"I heard that there is a secret manual hidden in the training palace. If you practice it, you can fly over eaves and walk on walls!"

"Oh, I also heard that the monks who live in the practice palace are all great monks. As long as you go in and pray, your wishes will come true!"

These rumors became more and more outrageous, as if the Cultivation Palace had become the "treasure map" of Nanyang City, just waiting for brave adventurers to explore.

But to the monks in Nanyang Changshou Village, this matter was as ridiculous as children playing house.

They still rang the bell and chanted sutras every day to pray for blessings, leading a plain but fulfilling life. Occasionally, when they heard rumors about the practice palace, they would just smile and continue to immerse themselves in the world of Buddhism.

Seeing the monks so calm, the people of Nanyang Changshou Village could not help but wonder: "Why are these monks not tempted? The palace is such a good place, why don't they pray somewhere else?"

Some people who were bored suddenly felt like going to the longevity village to talk to the master who was praying for blessings.

"Master, have you heard about it? The big swallow behind the palace is said to be blessed by gods. Everyone says it is a holy place for praying. You can go there to join in the fun and worship the gods. Maybe your wish will come true."

The master was sitting on a cushion and praying with his eyes closed. When he heard this, he shook his head slowly without even opening his eyes: "Praying? Praying is not as simple as going to a palace to worship gods."

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, as if he was mocking the shallowness of those who do good things. "As for spiritual practice, it's all about the state of mind. If you have Buddha in your heart, then wherever you go, it will be a good place to pray for blessings."

When the curious heard this, they were a little confused: "Ah? What do you mean?"

The master then slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Look at this Changshou Village, with green mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers. Isn't this a natural holy place for praying? Why go to the palace to join in the fun?"

The busybody felt a little ashamed when the master said this, and scratched his head: "Hey, Master, you are right, I am shallow."

The master waved his hand and said, "It's not shallow, it's not shallow. People are always curious. But, when it comes to praying for blessings, you have to feel it with your heart and experience it with your heart. It's not something that can be solved by going to a palace to worship the gods."

After hearing the master's words, the good-hearted person suddenly understood and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your guidance, master. I finally understand."

After saying that, he left Changshou Village excitedly, thinking that he must practice well in the future and not be fooled by those superficial things anymore.

Ling Chenyu brought Liu Yaoyao to visit the monks for blessings one after another, which was so persistent and admirable. But the monks, except for the first time they opened their eyes and received them symbolically, treated them as transparent air every time they visited.

Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao stood in front of the monks, one talking nonstop, the other gesticulating, talking until their mouths were dry and gesticulating like a drama queen. But the monks didn't even raise their eyelids, as if the two of them were really two talking airs.

Liu Yaoyao finally couldn't help herself and whispered, "Ling Chenyu, aren't we disturbing the monk's meditation too much? Does he find us annoying?"

Ling Chenyu gently scratched Liu Yaoyao's nose, and then his eyes swept across the monks present, as if they could penetrate all illusions and reach the depths of people's hearts. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and slowly said, "Dear monks, I know that you are all enlightened monks who pray for the people with all your heart. I deeply admire your kindness. But I am building the canal to benefit the people, so that they can live and work in peace and not suffer from floods."

He paused, and his tone suddenly became stern: "But, I have discussed with you many times, hoping that you can move to another place and make way for the construction of the canal. But what about you? You still do as you please and forcibly occupy the road until now. I want to ask, what is your intention in doing this? Do you really think that I dare not touch you?"

The monks looked at each other in bewilderment at Ling Chenyu's words. Some bowed their heads in silence, while others looked embarrassed. Seeing this, Ling Chenyu continued, "This king knows that it is not appropriate to use knives and guns in a quiet place like Buddhism. But this king also asks the monks to understand the suffering of the people and not let these false attachments hinder the great plan to benefit the people."

His words were both dignified and humorous, making everyone present burst into laughter. Liu Yaoyao clapped her hands and cheered: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is mighty!"

The monks were also impressed by Ling Chenyu's humor and wisdom, and expressed their willingness to cooperate in building the canal and no longer occupy the road. Seeing this, Ling Chenyu nodded with satisfaction, took Liu Yaoyao's hand and turned away, leaving the monks looking at each other in bewilderment.
