Chen Lu was a refugee a few years ago.
Chen Lu, who was wandering around and experiencing all kinds of dangers along the way, did not settle down until he came to Weishan.
Today, Chen Lu has long since left his refugee status and has become the unofficial "steward" of Tongqing Temple, responsible for accepting and arranging pilgrims who come to Tongqing Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
When necessary, Chen Lu will also work part-time as an accountant, chef, handyman and other other positions.
However, Chen Lu had no complaints about this, and he even reluctantly accepted the wages at the strong request of Zen Master Lingyou.
After all, for Chen Lu, who is alone, money is something external to him.
If he didn't want to repay his kindness, he could easily find a job at the foot of the mountain to make ends meet, let alone becoming rich.
During the time when Pei Wende left Tanzhou, Chen Lu worked hard to maintain the operation of Tongqing Temple. Not only did the number of pilgrims who came to burn incense and worship Buddha not decrease, but also increased.
As time passed, both Zen Master Lingyou and Zhang Chusheng acquiesced in Chen Lu's status in Tongqing Temple.
While Pei Wende and Zhang Chusheng were still having morning classes, Chen Lu had actually taken care of everything indoors and outdoors in order, and was waiting to open the door to welcome pilgrims.
But today's situation seemed to be an exception, because Chen Lu had just gotten up and found that Pei Wende had opened the door of Tongqing Temple in advance.
The strong man No. 100 was coming in and out, carrying various objects and boxes to the backyard.
Fortunately, Pei Hui insisted on renovating Tongqing Temple, and both the scale and the number of people accommodated have been greatly increased. Otherwise, Tongqing Temple may not be able to house so many objects.
In addition, after careful observation in the next few days, Chen Lu also discovered that the sturdy man No. 100 did not seem to be an ordinary person.
Whether it’s the body shape that is different from ordinary people, the silent and capable momentum, or the weapon that never leaves the body...
All of them explained to Chen Lu the identity of these men - they must be a group of active warriors.
In addition to this group of fierce soldiers, the other three men and women who followed to Tongqing Temple also looked very abnormal.
Needless to say, the woman wearing a splendid official robe and keeping a serious expression at all times...
Chen Lu has never seen any ordinary woman who can stand up to Qing Niangzi without losing.
If Pei Wende hadn't found out in time and successfully prevented the confrontation between these two female heroes, Chen Lu would have doubted that they would have started fighting on the spot?
As for the remaining two, their performances were even more exaggerated.
When the strong man dressed as a monk saw Zen Master Lingyou, he rushed towards him with a look of admiration. He just barely had the words "I am your fan" written on his face.
Even every time he saw Pei Wende, the monk would respectfully call out "Master Fahai".
Completely ignoring Pei Wende's embarrassed expression and Qing Niangzi's increasingly gloomy black face...
Sometimes, Chen Lu didn't even know whether the other person was really that blind, or whether he was just doing things his own way and didn't care about the opinions of outsiders at all.
Referring to the monk's normal behavior towards other people, Chen Lu felt that it was most likely the latter.
The same is true for another outsider who shaved his head and dressed as neither a monk nor a Taoist.
Not to mention the other party's weird appearance, just the fact that the other party kept pestering Zhang Chusheng and said that the other party was destined to him was enough for Chen Lu to put him on the list of "suspicious persons".
The only good thing is that these suspicious guys seemed to be aware of Chen Lu's rejection of his group and did not continue to do anything more outrageous.
After carrying the boxes into the backyard of Tongqing Temple, the group of people, in addition to daily food and clothing, kept guarding the boxes and fell into a long-term wait and state, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
In this regard, neither Zen Master Lingyou nor Pei Wende made any interruption or urging as if they had a tacit understanding.
This lasted for a whole week.
It wasn't until Chen Lu finished tidying up the temple's housekeeping one day and planned to wait for Pei Wende or Zhang Chusheng to open the door that Zen Master Lingyou unexpectedly came to the door of the front hall.
"Zen Master? Why did you come out?"
Chen Lu looked at Zen Master Lingyou with some surprise. After staying in Tongqing Temple for such a long time, Chen Lu saw him arrive at the temple gate so early for the first time.
"When an old friend comes to visit, how can the old monk not go out to greet him?"
After hearing Chen Lu's question, Zen Master Lingyou, who was still skinny but whose mental state was much better than a year ago, sighed.
Then, as if in response to Zen Master Lingyou's words, the originally closed mountain gate was blown open by a breeze, just in time to push the door bolt open.
From Chen Lu's perspective, he could clearly see the mountain road leading down the mountain outside the mountain gate.
After so many years of repairs and expansions, this mountain road is no longer as crude as it was before.
The steps made of piled stone slabs extend from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. There are various handrails and stone pavilions along the way, giving it a sense of independence.
However, what caught Chen Lu's attention the most at this moment was the figure on the mountain road.
The mountain road in the morning was not easy to walk, and it had been raining continuously some time ago. The breathtaking fog had already enveloped the entire Weishan Mountain, making it almost impossible to see the scenery a few meters away.
And in this hazy mist, more than ten figures came from the bottom of the mountain little by little.
Chen Lu knew that they could never be the pilgrims who went up the mountain to pray for blessings.
Because real pilgrims either stay at Tongqing Temple one day in advance, or wait for the fog to go up before going up the mountain.
When the dozen or so figures gradually approached the mountain gate, Chen Lu finally got a clear look at their appearance.
"Mr. Zou? Ah Yue?"
After seeing their appearance clearly, Chen Lu suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.
Because the two leaders were none other than Zou Qiwu and his daughter who had lived in Tongqing Temple for a long time.
Behind them, Pei Hong supported Pei Xiu and walked out of the fog little by little, followed by many servants.
"Amitabha!"
After seeing the four leaders, Zen Master Lingyou immediately recited a Buddhist name in a low voice.
As if they heard Zen Master Lingyou's Buddha's name, everyone who was not far from the mountain gate immediately raised their heads, with surprise on their faces.
"Zen Master! Long time no see!"
The first person to say hello was Ah Yue, who was the youngest and had the most out-of-the-box personality.
After noticing that the mountain gate was wide open, he quickly broke away from the team and ran to Zen Master Lingyou.
"Girl, long time no see!"
Smiling and rubbing Ah Yue's head, Zen Master Lingyou acted like an old man who had not seen his grandchildren for a long time, making no secret of his love and doting for Ah Yue.
