"That... you're right, but besides the Little Rhino Supermarket, do we have any other secret channels?"

After listening to Zhou Yu's story, Li Er's face also looked very ugly.

Unable to think of any useful solution, he simply asked Zhou Yu directly.

Hearing Li Er's question, Zhou Yu immediately said in a serious tone: "We can't show up directly for this matter. We need to find a group of sock puppets to take the blame."

At this point, before he could continue to explain, Li Er spoke again: "I know everything you said, but it's not easy to find a reliable vest."

Zhou Yu paused for a moment after hearing this, then said with a confident look, "There are more than one temple in and around Chang'an City.

There are countless monks staying in temples.

To outsiders, these monks have kind faces and compassion for the world.

But in reality, many monks are just petty thieves.

As long as we arrange for people to spread the news, there will definitely be temples flocking to it.

By then, what we privately sold to the temple was just a batch of handicrafts, and as for what the temple regarded those things as, that was beyond our control.”

Zhou Yu spoke very casually, but Li Er's eyes lit up opposite him.

As an emperor who had been to the modern era, Li Er actually had no halo or filter towards temples and monks.

If it weren't for the sake of stability, he might have taken action against those temples and monks long ago.

Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally welcomes it.

So, without waiting for Zhou Yu to explain or persuade him, he excitedly gave orders to Zhang Ananda.

Then, almost overnight, all the temples, big and small, inside and outside Chang'an City spread the news that they had dzi beads and cordyceps.

Not only that, these temples all claim that the Dzi beads and Cordyceps are completely free, and if people want to get them, it all depends on their connection with Buddhism.

As for what fate is, a stick of incense is fate, offering incense is fate, and giving a golden body to a Buddha statue is also fate.

Zhou Yu didn't take the temple's mysterious tricks seriously at all.

Because long after the people arranged by Li Er had colluded with the temple, the temple chose to take it all.

As for why there are so many temples, it is naturally because Li Er wants to make more money.

With the temple ready to withstand the impact, the people who had been frantically searching for Dzi beads and Cordyceps sinensis all rushed to the temple as if they had found a flood outlet.

Even many people who are not interested in Buddhism pretend to be devout Buddhists and are obsessed with obtaining Dzi beads and Cordyceps.

The rumors spread from temples inside and outside Chang'an City scared Lu Dongzan greatly.

It had only been two days since Zhou Yu approached him to ask for Dzi beads and Cordyceps.

The people he sent back to look for them are still on the way.

But it was at this time that a large number of Cordyceps and Dzi beads appeared in Chang'an City.

Although he guessed that this was most likely Zhou Yu's work, he could not find any evidence based on the existing situation.

In desperation, he had to send people back again to urge them to find the Dzi beads and Cordyceps as soon as possible so that he could make a fortune during this wave of popularity.

Because Li Er is secretly fanning the flames, the entire Chang'an City is now flocking to Dzi beads and Cordyceps.

Anyone with a little status would be proud to wear Dzi beads.

As for Cordyceps, even without Li Er's guidance, those guys had already developed various ways of eating it and its benefits.

For example, sleeping with Cordyceps in your mouth can prevent the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons from taking away your soul.

For example, holding a piece of Cordyceps sinensis in the mouth during childbirth can not only ensure the safety of mother and child, but also prolong life and keep the mother healthy and free from disasters.

For example, if you eat one Cordyceps sinensis every day, you can go to the Western Paradise after death.

…

I don’t know if it’s because of the involvement of the monks in those temples, but Dzi beads and Cordyceps have begun to develop in a magical direction.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more crazy, Li Er, who originally just wanted to make a fortune, gradually panicked.

The reason why he did this was simply to reap a wave of wealthy families.

However, the direction of things has clearly begun to deviate from the original intention.

Some of these temples even took this opportunity to vigorously promote the so-called Buddhist teachings.

Faced with such a situation, Li Er naturally wanted to stop it.

However, the development of things has clearly gone out of control.

Those who buy Dzi beads and Cordyceps will, for various purposes, publicize and praise the efficacy of these two things.

As a result, those who were already flocking to the temple would naturally run to it even harder.

As for the temple, Zhou Yu cheated them out of a huge sum of money when they sold Dzi beads and Cordyceps.

Some temples even paid large tracts of land and farmland.

However, when the temples offered Dzi beads and Cordyceps for free and only looked at one's sincerity, those who wanted to get them made a lot of donations to the temples.

These donations alone have allowed the temples that participated in the purchase of Dzi beads and Cordyceps to recoup their costs.

However, just when those temples and monks were filled with joy, a large number of Dzi beads and Cordyceps suddenly appeared on the market.

Especially those exquisitely shaped Dzi beads, which are sold for only ten cents.

For a time, those who obtained Dzi beads and Cordyceps by donating incense money all began to put pressure on the temple.

There was no other way, so he gilded the Buddha statue himself and finally got a Dzi bead. However, this Dzi bead was not as good as the street vendor goods that cost ten cents each in terms of quality and decoration.

Even ordinary people cannot accept this kind of gap, let alone the rich and powerful.
