After rebirth, I became a national teacher

You know, in the past, although everyone came early, they would go down the mountain after staying for an hour at most. Today was really abnormal.

"Is today a special day?"

She asked Mrs. Yan beside her in a low voice.

Seeing that she knew nothing, Mrs. Yan felt a little sympathy for her.

However, isn't it a bit cruel to tell her the truth now?

"It's not a special day. If you are busy at home, you can go down the mountain earlier."

She advised kindly.

Old Madam Yuan naturally refused.

Mo Niang was already married, and Censor Yuan was going to the Inspection Office, so she had nothing to do.

It would be lonely if I go back, so it would be better to enjoy the mountain breeze and chat with believers.

More than an hour passed while he sat there, during which time many ordinary pilgrims came to burn incense.

As noon approached, Taoist Master Huiyun came again and said to the crowd:

"Please follow me, believers who want to help with the disaster relief. The abbot is waiting for you in the reception hall."

The people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly looked delighted, and all stood up and followed Huiyun towards the East Garden.

Only Old Madam Yuan was confused, and she quickly pulled Old Madam Qin, who was the last one left:

"Disaster relief? Old sister, what does Taoist Huiyun mean by disaster relief?"

Madam Qin looked at her inexplicably:

"Don't you know? More than two months ago, on July 25, the temple master called on all devout believers to come to the temple to discuss helping the flood victims in several counties in Nanzhili."

"I went to your house to inform you. Since you were not there, I left a letter for the gatekeeper to inform you to gather at the temple three days later in the morning."

Old Madam Yuan asked doubtfully:

"Did you really leave a letter? I didn't receive it..."

"I really did. I didn't see you during the later gatherings and disaster relief efforts. I thought you were unwilling to respond to the temple master's call!"

"Oh, I won't say any more. I have to go see the abbot! Today the abbot wants to reward us believers who have come to help with disaster relief!"

The little old lady ran as fast as the wind and quickly caught up with the others.

Only Old Madam Yuan was left standing there all alone, her expression changing from confusion to sudden realization to gnashing of teeth.

The people following Huiyun soon arrived at the reception hall.

The reception hall had not changed much from the last time, and everyone took their seats one by one.

After a while, Xiao Kundao reported:

"The temple master is here!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

After not seeing him for two months, everyone felt that the master of the temple looked more and more elegant and otherworldly, not like an ordinary person.

Among all the people present, only Duke Dingguo was meeting the master of the temple for the first time.

While he was standing up, he plucked up the courage to take a look and was shocked by the youth and extraordinary beauty of the temple master.

Even though his wife had told him the last time that the temple master looked like a deity, the feeling of seeing it with one's own eyes was completely different.

But what shocked him even more was the aura emanating from the master of the temple.

Obviously, her tone of voice and the way she looked at people were very gentle, but for a veteran like him who had been on the battlefield for many years and was accustomed to the flash of swords and blood, he felt inexplicably awed just by looking at her.

Subconsciously, I felt that such a direct gaze was disrespectful.

Even when facing two dynasties of emperors, he had never felt this way.

Finally, we can only conclude:

The master of the temple is indeed not a mortal being.

I felt more and more that the master of the temple was extremely mysterious and must be treated with the utmost respect.

Chen Qingzhu quickly swept his eyes over everyone and said in a gentle voice:

"I heard from Huiyun that you all came very early. Thank you for waiting for so long!"

Everyone hurriedly said:

"It was us who came so early. How can we blame the abbot?"

"Yes, and the mountains are cool and open in autumn. It is very interesting to drink tea and chat with everyone!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled and continued:

"I heard from Huiyun about your performance during the last relief effort for flood victims. You all did a great job."
