Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 171 Preparing Weapons

After thinking it over again and again, Daiyu told Lan Rui: "The location of the house today is not bad, not far from Hongji Temple. Go and tell Lin Ji to ask the broker to find out the details of the house and why it has been vacant for so long. If we can buy it, we can live in our own yard in the future and don't have to rent it out."

Lan Rui nodded and went back to her room to rest. But she was still puzzled: she had come up empty-handed, but why did Daiyu not look disappointed?

This question was gradually forgotten as Lan Rui fell asleep.

At this moment, Daiyu was holding a dagger in her hand, playing with it casually.

This dagger was one of the many weapons collected tonight. Unlike other standard swords and guns, this dagger was particularly low-key.

The charcoal black blade, with an unknown material handle, feels great to the touch. Once Daiyu picked it up, she couldn't bear to put it down.

She recalled the body movements she had taught Bai Shao before, and it seemed as if there was a little man in her brain, flying and spinning in rhythm with the movements.

Daiyu's body also moved involuntarily, and the dagger in her hand spun rapidly. If Lan Rui was present at this moment, she would definitely be worried about Daiyu.

The angles of some moves were too tricky and looked too dangerous: several times the tip of the knife was stabbing close to Daiyu's body.

When Daiyu regained control of her body, she couldn't help feeling a little scared. Her legs went limp and she sat down on the floor with a thump.

She stretched out her hand and saw a tiny mark left on the palm of the boxing glove, which made her even more shocked. She knew that the skills in the mall were extraordinary, but she didn't expect that practicing them would be so dangerous.

Daiyu couldn't help but start to reflect. She used to be used to passing the skills directly to her subordinates, but she never cared about whether they would encounter difficulties in the process of practicing.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether she had been a little negligent in the training of her subordinates.

Daiyu's mind moved, and the boxing gloves disappeared again. At this moment, she no longer had the heart to look at the other treasures in the warehouse, but closed her eyes and began to search for the relevant courses of this technique in the system, hoping to learn the systematic practice method and avoid taking detours.

The next morning, Daiyu was awakened by Luluo. Thanks to the soul cultivation technique, even if she had been running around outside all night, she only needed to practice the technique for one week to dispel most of her fatigue.

Daiyu opened her arms and let Luluo tie the laces for her.

"Where's Danyi?"

"I'm practicing with Lan Rui outside. Is there anything I can tell you, young lady?"

Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly and asked casually, "Have you ever encountered any problems or difficulties in your daily practice?"

"Of course. But we often communicate and discuss together, so most problems can be solved smoothly. What's wrong? Did the girl encounter any difficulties in practicing?"

"It's the same method I showed you earlier. I've been practicing it recently and I feel that some of the moves are quite dangerous. I want to remind you to be careful when practicing and not to hurt yourself."

Hearing this, Luluo couldn't help but chuckle, "Girl, you're overthinking it. When we practiced, we used branches or wooden swords instead. At most, it would hurt a little, but how could we hurt ourselves?"

Daiyu then remembered that in that era, ordinary people were not allowed to privately possess weapons. How could they get suitable weapons?

Even the Dai's Escort Agency had to obtain permission from the government and a receipt to buy some knives from the blacksmith shop.

Only a few weapons were allocated to the Lin family. Those men rushed to practice sword fighting every day and were reluctant to return them early.

She thought about it and decided that this was not a good idea. The feel of using branches and wooden swords was very different from that of using real weapons. She continued, "I'll try to find a way to buy some weapons and give you a dagger."

When Luluo heard the good news, she almost gave Daiyu a knot. She said excitedly: "Then I will go back and tell them the good news!"

Daiyu was somewhat helpless: "Don't worry, what if I can't get it?"

"I believe that the young lady will find a way!" Luoluo was so happy that her heart was about to fly away. Then she followed Daiyu and joined Lanrui and Danru's morning exercise team.

This day, Daiyu finally met the abbot of Hongji Temple. She clasped her hands together, bowed to the monk and said, "Abbot, I hope you are well!"

"Haha, Mr. Lin is still as charming and elegant as ever!" The abbot replied with a smile.

He was so happy to see Daiyu again.

Although Daiyu brought a lot of trouble to the temple, he was not angry about it, but rather felt somewhat proud.

Although the Ministry of Rites of this dynasty established the Monks Registration Office, due to the excessive personnel changes and complicated procedures, this institution was already in name only in its early years.

In the past, famous monks or abbots would be summoned to the Shenjing City to take exams, but this system was later abolished for various reasons.

At this point, the sutra discussion conference held every ten years came into being, which was actually an examination activity organized spontaneously by the people.

In addition, temples in various places would compare their popularity and the degree of attention they received from the imperial court.

Since the emperor came to Hongji Temple, the temple has become increasingly popular, attracting many believers from other places to come and worship.

Therefore, Hongji Temple gradually showed the momentum of leading the temples in this area.

This time they successfully uncovered the bad practices in Buddhism, and even the reputation of the Jinyiwei became more benevolent.

Thinking of the captain of the Jinyiwei who had been so kind to him, the abbot couldn't help but lose his mind.

He quickly chanted a Buddhist name, suppressed his excitement, and praised: "Donor Lin is truly a pure and filial son. Every Qingming Festival and memorial day, he comes in person to perform rituals and pray for his mother."

"This is my duty as a child," Daiyu replied modestly.

Afterwards, she remembered that she was about to return to Yangzhou and that the rituals would no longer be held in Hongji Temple, so she explained the reason to the abbot and apologized.

The abbot smiled and said, "We understand what Mr. Lin meant. There is no need to apologize. When will Mr. Lin return to the capital?"

Daiyu shook her head and replied, "It depends on my father. If he stays in another place and doesn't need to report to the capital, I might stay in Yangzhou."

She was a little surprised. Was the monk reluctant to leave her?

"To be honest, six years from now, a sutra discussion conference will be held in Shenjing City. I would like to invite Mr. Lin to attend as a distinguished guest of my temple."

Daiyu felt a little guilty. She went in and out of the Buddhist temple mostly to collect points, which really didn't mean she was smart.

She laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I'm not sure about what will happen six years from now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to promise!"
