"Abbot! Abbot!"
The Golden Buddha statues at the entrance had fallen, and the crowd was shocked. The monks put down what they were doing and hurriedly ran to the inner court to report to the abbot!!
"What's the rush?"
The abbot sat in meditation in his room, unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
"Buddha fell... The Golden Buddha has shattered!"
The monk was too excited. After he finished his first sentence, he immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing. He immediately changed his words and explained clearly.
"The Golden Buddha statues fell?"
When the abbot heard this, he immediately woke up from his meditation. However, his expression was not one of shock or anger, but joy.
Even the monks in the temple found it strange. Shouldn't they be angry when they heard that Buddha had fallen? Why was he so happy?
"Is it because of a young man that the Buddha body fell?”
Seeing the monk's expression, the abbot could not help but continue asking.
"Yes!"
When the monk heard the abbot's words, he immediately replied with an expression of admiration. The abbot didn't even leave the door, but he knew what was going on outside. His ability to predict things like a god was too strong.
"Inform all the monks in the temple to follow me out to meet the distinguished guests!”
After verifying the information, the abbot stood up. He held a staff in his hand and wore a kasaya. After saying this in an extremely serious manner, he left the room and waited for all the monks to gather!
"Alright, I'll go now!"
The monk didn't know why the abbot suddenly acted like this, but the abbot had the greatest ability in this temple and was also the authority of this temple. His words were the imperial edict in the temple.
The abbot was still very assured about the monks in his temple because these monks and disciples did not become monks halfway. All of them were orphans. They had no parents since they were young and had been adopted by him.
There were a total of forty-three monks in the entire temple. Without exception, all of them were orphans.
In addition to this temple, all the money given to the temple was donated, except for some necessities. Because of this, the monks were even less greedy. They all had no desire and were silently meditating in the temple.
Soon, all the monks in the temple were ready in the inner court.
......
At the gate, behind the broken golden Buddha statues, everyone looked at Jiang Bei with a strange expression. Then, they started gossiping.
"Ah, this, this... Buddha bless us, Buddha bless us!"
"This kid, get out of the temple!!!”
"Buddha is angry! Buddha was furious! You disrespectful person!"
"Young man, hurry up and leave. You're not welcome here!!”
Some women knelt on the ground and began to chant scriptures, hoping that the Buddha would not blame them or implicate them.
Some of the farmers were furious. They pointed at Jiang Bei and wanted him to get off the mountain.
All of a sudden, Jiang Bei became a street rat that everyone hated.
Faced with such a situation, Jiang Bei did not even bother to look at the expressions of these people. He just waited quietly.
"Humph!"
Secretary Tang had been in a bad mood ever since he scolded him. Now that the Golden Buddha statues had fallen, he was no longer angry. He was simply filled with hatred.
The Golden Buddha might be a belief for others, but for him, it was a true Buddha.
Now that the Buddha had fallen, how could he not blame Jiang Bei?
In just a few minutes, he had already made up his mind. After leaving the mountain, the first thing he would do was to inform the leaders below to investigate this young man. Then, he would use some methods to make him suffer.
"The abbot is here!"
At this moment, the sound of chanting suddenly came from the inner courtyard of the temple. Immediately after, monks with extremely solemn expressions pressed their palms together and walked forward with their heads lowered.
Upon seeing this, everyone present immediately knew that this was the formation of the abbot. Everyone turned their attention to the door. Three to four hundred people raised their heads to watch, all guessing how the abbot would handle this matter.
Jiang Bei did not find it strange when he heard the chanting. The Golden Buddha statues had fallen, so how could the person in charge not come out?
"Don't talk nonsense later. I'll ask the abbot for mercy!”
Secretary Tang, who was standing at the side of Jiang Bei, frowned and whispered to the abbot when he saw him coming out.
Secretary Tang had his reasons for saying that. He was eager for Jiang Bei to be punished. However, he still felt that he had to be rational. The rules of Buddhism were complicated and complicated. What if Jiang Bei had to be a monk in this temple for the rest of his life?
This was a restriction of freedom. Even if Secretary Tang was unhappy with Jiangbei, he would at most send someone to keep an eye on him. If Jiangbei committed any crimes, he would let him suffer some physical pain. He would not harm Jiangbei's safety.
That was why he said that.
"No need."
Jiang Bei looked at Secretary Tang with interest. This time, he did not stay silent. Instead, he said,"
"Just show off!"
Seeing that Jiang Bei didn't appreciate his kindness, Secretary Tang was even angrier and decided to ignore it.
"Dare I ask, did you shatter this Golden Buddha?”
Not long after, the abbot walked out under everyone's gaze. Because everyone present was far away, they could not clearly hear the abbot's tone, so they unanimously believed that the abbot was about to make a move.
Abbot, this matter..."
Secretary Tang's heart was burning with anxiety, especially when he saw the abbot personally come out. He couldn't help but want to plead for Jiang Bei, but his words were not as fast as Jiang Bei's.
"I didn't break it."
Secretary Tang was taken aback by Jiang Bei's words. He thought that Jiang Bei would still dare to be stubborn.
"It's because it has to kneel when it sees me. However, the Mortal Golden Body was only a dead object, which was why it was shattered!”
However, Jiang Bei's next sentence scared Secretary Tang out of his wits.
These words were just a lesson to them. They felt that the young man was insensible. However, if he said it to the abbot, he would be provoking the entire Buddhist Sect and slandering the gods and Buddhas!
So, he stared at Jiang Bei with his mouth agape.
However, in the next second, the abbot did something that shocked him even more. No, it should be said that it shocked everyone present!
"Disciple Yiqing, lead the monks of the Ancient Buddha Temple to welcome Buddha Master!”
After hearing Jiang Bei's words, the abbot knelt on the ground in excitement. He held his staff with both hands and led all the disciples of the temple to bow to Jiang Bei.
"Disciple welcomes Buddha Master!"
After the abbot spoke, the monks hurriedly knelt down. Their master had already knelt down. If they still didn't kneel down, wouldn't they be courting death? Although they did not know why the abbot was like this. However, they knew that as long as they followed suit, they would be fine.
Under the lead of the abbot, more than forty voices sounded in unison.
The spectators were incomparably shocked as they watched this situation with their mouths agape!!
