When the Legend of the White Snake was popular in Xi Hang as a storyteller, the final volume of the Legend of the White Snake was spread among many young girls and women.
It seemed that the love story between this kind of person and the snake demon was most loved by the young girls. Originally, these readers and fans were waiting to see Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian happily together. Who would have thought that the book would end in such a sad ending, which broke the happy ending of the story of talented scholars and beautiful women.
Of course, the plot of the final volume also made many female readers full of resentment towards Fahai, who was cruel enough to break up the couple.
Coincidentally, there was a big temple called Jinshan Temple in Xihang, and there was also a Leifeng Pagoda in the temple. What was more coincidental was that the abbot of this temple was called Fahai. Those readers and fans who had finished reading the Legend of the White Snake could not help but substitute the Fahai in Xihang into the Fahai in the Legend of the White Snake.
Therefore, Master Fahai was the one who took the blame.
" This darn baldy Fa Hai is too much. He actually broke up the marriage between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. It's really infuriating..." The one who spoke was the daughter of the Sun family, a wealthy businessman in Xihang. At this moment, she had just closed the final volume of the Legend of the White Snake in her hand. She had just been tortured physically and mentally.
The servant girl standing at the side also had tears in her eyes. She nodded her little head and said in agreement," Yes, Miss. I also feel sorry for Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Their love was so beautiful. Who would have thought that it would end in such a tragedy? It's so pitiful, sob..."
" When this darn baldy Fa Hai first appeared, I knew he was no good. Not only did he have a heart of stone, but he also pestered Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian for so long. I was so angry that I wanted to beat this darn baldy up…"
"Miss is right. I have the same feeling!!”
Just as the master and servant were chattering about how hateful the final volume of the Legend of the White Snake was and how pitiful Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian were, footsteps came from outside the room. A plump middle-aged man walked in with his butler and spoke to his daughter with a smile.
" Ling 'er, come out. Today, Father will bring you to see Abbot Fahai of Jinshan Monastery. His Buddhist teachings are profound. Father will donate a sum of incense money to him and ask him for an amulet. At the same time, let him help you read your fortune and see when you can have a marriage…"
Abbot Fahai of Jinshan Temple?
When she heard these words, Sun Ling and the servant girl beside her looked at each other. The two of them immediately thought of the final volume of the Legend of the White Snake that they had just read. The image of the stone-hearted, half-lovey-dovey bald Fa Hai immediately appeared in the book, and it made the two of them unable to help but grit their teeth in hatred.
Sun Ling snorted lightly. She stretched her hand out to hold the plump middle-aged man in front of her. She shook his arm as she acted coquettishly." Father, I don't like this Fahai. People like these Buddhists, all of them want to vanquish demons and eliminate devils. They are ruthless and merciless, and they like to break up lovebirds. You don't know this. I just read a book that talked about these Buddhists. Father, we are not going. Otherwise, I will not let Mother sleep with you in the future…"
The personal servant girl standing beside him could not help but nod in agreement at this moment. She also opened her mouth to persuade him," Master, Miss is right. Let's not go to Jinshan Temple to see Fahai. Why don't we go to Green Pine Taoist Temple? The old Taoist priest there is kind and kind..."
" That's right. Look at the Taoist temple there. It's old and run-down. The Golden Mountain Monastery is decorated with gold and silver. It's already so good. There's no need for incense money. Just donate it to the old Taoist priest of Green Pine Monastery…" Sun Ling also tried to persuade him.
Looking at his daughter, the plump middle-aged man was finally persuaded. He nodded and changed his schedule. He asked the servants to apologize to Fahai.
Similar things happened in many wealthy merchants 'homes, causing the incense offerings in the Golden Mountain Temple to plummet. It also puzzled the monks in the temple. Why did the flow of people suddenly decrease so much when the incense offerings were originally flourishing? It was as if the wealthy merchants who used to come to donate incense suddenly made an appointment and no longer came. What was going on?!
Fahai, the abbot of the Golden Mountain Monastery, sat on the top of the Leifeng Pagoda and chanted Buddhist scriptures. A faint layer of golden light pervaded his body and finally slowly entered his body.
After finishing a day of cultivation, Fahai stepped out of Leifeng Pagoda and disappeared. He soon noticed the frowning face of the First Seat of the Outer Courtyard in the temple. He couldn't help but ask," Junior Brother, why are you frowning and feeling uneasy?"!”
The head monk of the outer court heard this and chanted the name of Buddha." Senior Brother, I don't know why the incense money has decreased in the past two days. Those big devotees have suddenly decreased by a lot. I don't know what's going on…"
Fahai smiled and said," Money is just a worldly possession. Junior Brother, you don't have to care about it. It's fine if it's a little less. With the reputation of our Golden Mountain Temple, it's impossible for the incense to be gone…"
When the Head of the Outer Courtyard heard this, he looked at his senior brother who turned around and left. He wanted to say something but hesitated. The incense in the Merit Box had been reduced by almost a quarter in the past two days. If this situation continued, the outcome would not be good.
