Chapter 348 Donating a bunch of pots and pans

Master Shanhui looked at the pots, pans, and dozens of flowerpots scattered on the ground, and his lips twitched.

Although Huguo Temple needs donations from the public, it shouldn't be so poor that it needs others to donate pots and pans!

"You know what, I almost forgot." After Lin Luoxi finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a golden canopy bed appeared in front of Master Shanhui.

"This bed of yours is more presentable..." Upon seeing that it was made of pure gold, Master Shanhui finally behaved himself and his words were no longer so harsh.

"That's because you're blind. Look closely, aren't these just ordinary pots and pans?"

Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes when she saw Master Shanhui, who was only interested in money.

"Master, do you know how greedy you are for money?" Lin Luoxi couldn't help but suspect that Master Shanhui was actually a fake monk because he had no awareness of the value of money that a monk should have.

But seeing the six ordination scars on his head, one has to believe that he really is a monk.

“Buddha would be very happy to know that I used this gold to make a golden statue for him.”

“Besides, this is all a matter of cause and effect.” Master Shanhui said to Lin Luoxi as he walked over to examine the pots and pans that Lin Luoxi had thrown out.

They discovered that the pots and pans were made of pure gold, but someone had tampered with them to make them look like ordinary pots and pans.

“These must have been collected from the families of those five ministers!” Master Shanhui asked with certainty.

Only corrupt officials would go to such lengths to create these things and prevent others from finding out.

"Knowing that you still ask, isn't this exactly what you want..." Lin Luoxi noticed that Master Shanhui would appear every time she accepted gifts from corrupt officials. Could there be some unspeakable secret behind this?

"You don't need to hold a grudge. This ill-gotten wealth is not yours. If you insist on taking it, it will only harm you."

“But if you take it out, it will be a great good deed for you to accumulate merit,” Master Shanhui said to Lin Luoxi in a serious tone.

"Okay, I know, you can check these yourself! It's getting late, I'm going home now." Fine, donate them if you want, these things weren't hers to begin with anyway.

If one can truly use this ill-gotten gain to accumulate merit for oneself, it would be a good thing.

"You've donated so much money, are you sure you don't want to stay here a few more days? Otherwise, you'll definitely feel bad!"

When Master Shanhui saw that Lin Luoxi was about to leave, he immediately spoke up to persuade her to stay.

Just as Lin Luoxi was about to leave, her eyes lit up. Yes, she had donated almost a ton of gold. It would be a waste not to stay here for a few days.

She paused, turned around, and returned to the Prajna Hall. "Then why don't you hurry up and arrange accommodation for me? I've been going over the accounts with you all day, and I'm starving!"

Lin Luoxi made no attempt to be polite to Master Shanhui, sitting on the chaise longue where Master Shanhui usually sat cross-legged, and began to direct him.

"Okay, I'll send someone back to inform your family right now, and I'll have someone prepare some food for you."

"As for where you live..." Master Shanhui glanced at Lin Luoxi.

“I have several side rooms in the backyard of my Prajna Hall, I guarantee you’ll like them…” Master Shanhui directly told Lin Luoxi to stay in a side room behind the Prajna Hall, without having to arrange other side rooms.

"Are there side rooms behind Prajna Temple?" Lin Luoxi frowned when she heard Master Shanhui say this. She immediately got up and went to visit the side rooms that Master Shanhui mentioned.

Master Shanhui watched Lin Luoxi rush around and disappear around the corner, smiled helplessly and indulgently, and continued to sort through the gold that Lin Luoxi had taken out.

"Master, the vegetarian meal is here." Lin Luoxi hadn't returned yet when the young monks brought over the vegetarian meal.

"Okay, put it on the table!"

"Alright!" After putting down the vegetarian meal, the young novice bowed his head and left respectfully.

It was as if he hadn't seen the gold scattered all over the Prajna Hall.

“Master, I’ve discovered that you are truly a monk who knows how to enjoy life…” Lin Luoxi, returning from her visit, repeated what she had said when she first entered the Prajna Hall.

The environment of the backyard room was indeed very beautiful, and it suited Lin Luoxi's eye. She planned to stay here for one night and enjoy the beautiful view as soon as she opened her eyes.

"I'm glad you like it. The vegetarian meal has been served. Come and eat!" Master Shanhui's smile became much more genuine when he saw that Lin Luoxi was satisfied.

"Wow, this is my favorite vegetarian meal." Seeing the vegetarian meal on the table, Lin Luoxi sat down without any hesitation.

"Wife, you've made me search so hard!" Lin Luoxi had just taken a bite of her vegetarian meal when Xie Hanchuan's voice rang out from outside the Prajna Hall.

"Brother Hanchuan, what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to be dealing with things at your estate?" Upon hearing Xie Hanchuan's words, Lin Luoxi immediately put down her bowl and went outside the hall to greet him.

"I'm still worried about you..." Xie Hanchuan looked Lin Luoxi over carefully before turning to Master Shanhui.

"Have you finished with your work?" Although the question was directed at Lin Luoxi, the gaze remained fixed on Master Shanhui.

He always felt that Master Shanhui looked at Lin Luoxi differently, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

After all, the other party was the most famous Master Shanhui. A Buddhist should not have romantic feelings for men and women.

"Since you're here, benefactor Xie, let's have a vegetarian meal together!" Master Shanhui generously allowed Xie Hanchuan to look him over, and even warmly invited Xie Hanchuan to come in and eat.

"Okay, that's perfect, I haven't eaten all day." Seeing a grain of rice on Lin Luoxi's lips, Xie Hanchuan knew they had just been eating. He pulled Lin Luoxi along and headed towards the Prajna Hall.

As soon as Xie Hanchuan entered, he saw gold scattered all over the floor, either in boxes or laid out directly on the ground, leaving no room to step. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Master, aren't you afraid that thieves will covet so much gold you've put here?"

"Hehe... There aren't many people who want to steal from me..." Master Shanhui smiled confidently upon hearing Xie Hanchuan's words.

"Indeed, you are the renowned Master Shanhui. If anyone dares to take anything from you, you could crush them to death from a distance..."

“Master, why don’t you teach me some magic? If anyone tries to scheme against me or insult me ​​in the future, I can shut them up from a distance…” Lin Luoxi continued.

"I'm just a monk who can chant sutras, I don't have any magic..." Master Shanhui almost lost his composure again when he heard Lin Luoxi's words.

Damn it, he shouldn't have kept that girl around; he brought trouble upon himself.

"Really? I don't think the master is just someone who can chant scriptures..." Lin Luoxi said meaningfully.

This topic was no longer worth discussing. After eating a few bites of vegetarian food, Master Shanhui went to the side to continue fiddling with his abacus.

"Brother Hanchuan, let's not go back tonight. We donated so much money, we should stay here for a few nights and eat vegetarian meals for a few days..."
