In the afternoon, the fiery autumn tiger wreaked havoc on the earth.
"Master Lin? Temple Master Lin? Is Master Lin here?" An anxious voice came from outside the door.
"Village Chief Chen?"
Lin Ye walked out of the door and was surprised to see a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a Chinese tunic suit and two strong young men.
"Little Lin? Is your master, Abbey Dean Lin, here? Our Chen Family Village would like to invite the Abbey Dean to come down the mountain and hold a Dharma Assembly for us!”Village Chief Chen, who looked haggard, said anxiously.
Lin Ye's face darkened." My master ascended to immortality half a year ago!"”
"What?" Village Chief Chen and the two young men behind him were stunned.
"Half a year ago? Xiao Lin, why didn't you inform us?"
"I told you that we should have gone straight to the master of the Dazhong Temple. The village chief insisted on coming to this lousy Taoist temple to find a Taoist priest. Now, it's all for nothing!”A young man wearing branded casual clothes complained.
"That's right, Village Chief, let's go down the mountain to Dazhong Temple immediately. This round trip will delay us for another day. As expected, Taoist priests were all swindlers. The senior monks of Dazhong Temple were more reliable!”The other shorter youth nodded repeatedly.
Lin Ye frowned.
Village Chief Chen turned around and shouted angrily,"Shut up!"”
"Xiao Lin, I'm sorry. Director Chen and Chen Ming don't mean any harm. It's just that the entire village has been in a state of panic because of what happened in the village these past few days. They didn't pay attention to their words.”Village Chief Chen explained with a bitter smile.
"Village Chief Chen, do you need any help?" Lin Ye nodded slightly. Although Master has ascended to immortality, now that I'm the Abbey Dean, I'll definitely help as long as I can!”
Shangqing Monastery was just ten miles away from the Chen Family Village and had a good relationship with the surrounding villagers. Previously, the money Lin Ye spent on his studies had been given by the surrounding villagers. As someone who knew how to repay kindness, he naturally would not refuse to help as much as he could.
Village Chief Chen sighed." Xiao Lin, this matter…Forget it. If the old Abbey Dean was still here, we could still try. It seems that we can only go to the Dazhong Temple!"”
As he spoke, he turned around and led the two youths out. At this moment, Fashan, who was drenched in sweat and bare-armed, walked in with his head lowered."Benefactor Lin, half of the outer wall has been repaired. The remaining half can't be repaired without bricks!”
"Hmm? Zen Master Fashan? That's great. Our Chen Family Village wants to invite you to the village to help us exorcise ghosts.”Director Chen, who was wearing high-end casual clothes, turned around with a happy expression.
Village Chief Chen and Chen Ming stopped in their tracks and turned around. They looked at Fashan, whose black monk robe was covered in stains and his arms were bare, with a lonely and suspicious expression.
"Brother, is he the Zen Master Fashan that you boasted about before?”
This time, Director Chen also woke up from his surprise. He looked at Fashan, who was no different from a mason, in disbelief."Zen Master, you…you changed your profession?”
Fashan's face turned green and white. He wished he could hide his head in his pants. He could only force himself to say,"You've got the wrong person. I'm not some Fashan!”
Lin Ye, who had already returned to the Abbey Dean's room, heard the commotion and came out again. He saw Fashan standing in the small courtyard and frowned."Fashan, what are you doing here instead of repairing the wall?”
"Fashan?"
"Fashan?"
Village Chief Chen, Director Chen, and Chen Ming were stunned.
Director Chen was enlightened. Clearly, he had not recognized the wrong person at all. This was indeed the powerful Zen Master Fashan in his impression.
However, the dignified Zen Master Fashan of Dazhong Temple actually came to this dilapidated Taoist temple to repair the wall? Even the lowest ranking monk would not do such a thing, let alone the fact that Shan Fa had a high status in the temple.
“pia”
Director Chen slapped his own leg. He could feel the pain clearly. It was obvious that he was not dreaming.
Fashan gritted his teeth and lowered his head." Almsgiver Lin, there aren't enough bricks for the wall. The bricks that were removed are only enough to repair half of it. Without bricks, you can't repair it even if you kill us!"”
Village Chief Chen pulled the dazed Director Chen and whispered,""Yazi, he…is he really the Zen Master of the Dazhong Temple?”
"That's right. The last time my family and I went to Dazhong Temple to worship Buddha, it was this Zen Master Fashan who blessed us. In order to invite him to bless us, our family paid a full 100,000 yuan. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to invite a Zen Master.”Although Director Chen didn't dare to believe it, the facts were there and he couldn't deny it.
Lin Ye snapped his fingers." I don't care how you fix it. If you don't have bricks, you can think of a way yourself. Anyway, I want to see the temple's wall repaired by tomorrow morning. If I can't do it, I don't mind letting Little White be intimate with you."”
"…You!"
Fa Shan gritted his teeth. In the end, he could only turn around and think of a way. One of his junior brothers had already died. He was sure that Lin Ye would do what he said. The only thing he could do now was to protect his junior brothers 'lives before reinforcements arrived.
"Village Chief Chen? Why are you guys back?"
Village Chief Chen carefully probed." Little Lin…No, Faction Head Lin, that person just now…was Zen Master Fashan of the Dazhong Temple?"”
Lin Ye nodded and then said apologetically,"You want him to go to the Dharma Assembly? Village Chief Chen, I'm afraid it's not possible now. Even if I'm willing to let him go, I'm afraid he won't go.”
"Hehe, no, no. He…Isn't he the Zen Master of Daijongji Temple? Why…"
"Nothing, he just lost a battle with me, so he stayed here to help me rebuild Shangqing Temple.”Lin Ye said nonchalantly.
He lost the battle?
Village Chief Chen and the other two felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They were just ordinary people, but that did not stop them from knowing that the Zen Master of Dazhong Temple really had supernatural powers and could subdue demons and devils. When the old abbot of Shangqing Monastery was still around, he often helped the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings.
Every ordinary person in the world knew that there were indeed demons and ghosts in this world, and there were also Buddhist masters. It was just that ordinary people would find it difficult to interact with them.
Director Chen still found it hard to believe that Lin Ye, who looked younger than him and was at most 18 or 19 years old, could actually defeat Zen Master Fashan in a battle of magic? He had seen Zen Master Fashan's powers with his own eyes. He could even subdue ghosts. How could Lin Ye, who was so young, win against Zen Master Fashan?
Chen Ming's gaze at Lin Ye changed. It was filled with suspicion and curiosity.
Village Chief Chen made a prompt decision." Xiao Lin…Faction Head Lin, please help our Chen Family Village! If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid that the people in the village will die from being haunted by evil!”
"What happened? Village Chief Chen, don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly! I definitely won't refuse if I can help!"
