The acting abbot opened his mouth and looked at Bai Ye blankly.
For a long time, no sound was made.
Indeed, Bai Ye gave them more than one chance, but they were rejected.
In fact, Bai Ye could have turned against him at that time, but he didn't. Instead, he wanted to give these people some time to think about it.
It's just... these people don't think about it that way.
They thought about self-protection from beginning to end. They never paid attention to the invasion of foreign enemies. They never thought about what would happen if Li Shengzhou was captured. Their vision was too narrow.
The acting abbot took a deep breath, and finally understood Bai Ye's intention at this moment.
He stepped forward, made a Buddhist salute to Bai Ye, then bent his knees and sat on the ground, lowering his head.
"Lord White Dragon, there are thousands of mistakes, all of which are my fault. If it weren't for my stupid decision, how could things have gotten to this point? Lord White Dragon! I am willing to use my life in exchange for the sacrifice of these monks behind me.
People are considerate, they are innocent, I hope the White Dragon Lord can let them go and spare their lives!" After saying that, the acting abbot kowtowed deeply to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked at him indifferently and fell silent.
After a moment, he said: "Abbott, it's not you who have the final say at this time, but mine. Isn't it too fanciful for you to want to exchange your life for the lives of these people?"
"Master White Dragon...are you really so vicious and want to kill everyone?" the acting abbot asked with wide eyes.
"Kill them all? Abbot, still can't you understand my intention of doing this?" Bai Ye said coldly.
"intention?"
The acting abbot looked at him blankly.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, his face turned extremely pale, and his whole body began to tremble.
"So that's it... It turns out that I was wrong... No... No... Why is this happening... Why... Things are like this??"
The acting abbot's face was distorted, his eyes were full of horror, and his whole body was trembling, as if he was scared to death.
"Abbott, what's wrong with you?"
"Abbott, are you okay?"
The monks behind were all anxious and shouted one after another.
But the acting abbot turned a deaf ear and only stared at Bai Ye with wide eyes.
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Bai Ye looked at him and said calmly: "In order to deal with the invading enemies, I have found several powerful families and invited them to cooperate with me. However, what is disappointing is that they all chose to refuse, so I have thought about whether it is mine.
The method was too gentle to give them the courage to refuse? So I decided to use some violent methods to let them know fear and let the world know what the consequences of rejecting me will be! I am not asking you to cooperate with me sincerely, or
Be loyal to me, you can't do it, and I don't need it. What I want is for someone to stand up when the foreign enemy invades! Not for me, but for the Holy State! Now you choose to be selfish and protect yourself wisely, then I
I can only choose to sacrifice you and use you to scare those who may reject me so that they can cooperate with me obediently!"
After saying these words, the people in Shanglong Temple could be said to be completely desperate.
It turns out...that was Bai Ye's plan.
If Bai Ye was simply venting his anger, then there was still room for change.
If so, there is no chance of turning around...
"Lord White Dragon..."
The acting abbot fell to the ground in pain and burst into tears.
The other monks also wiped away tears and were in great pain.
"After today, there will be no Shanglong Temple in the world. You all... go too!"
Bai Ye said hoarsely.
"Master White Dragon, since the matter has reached this point, it is useless to say more. I will bear all the consequences myself. How to deal with Shanglong Temple is in your control!" the acting abbot said in a low voice, and then recited a Buddhist saying.
, then drank lowly.
Wow!
His chest immediately burst out with rays of Buddha's light, and then his skin began to dry up and wither, and his whole body's anger was like a deflated ball, quickly disappearing.
"ah??"
"Abbot!!"
"Abbot!!"
All the monks gathered around him and cried bitterly.
It turns out that the acting abbot decided to commit suicide...
"Brother Abbot, why are you so hard to think about?" A senior monk from Shanglong Temple cried bitterly.
"I am a sinner of Shanglong Temple. I wanted to keep Shanglong Temple and continue the glory of Shanglong Temple, but I made a mistake and dragged Shanglong Temple into the abyss. I have committed a heinous crime, so I will go to the Western Paradise and go to Shanglong Temple.
The eminent monks of the temple apologize and beg for forgiveness from the eminent monks of Shanglong Temple." The acting abbot said weakly.
After saying these words, the crying and howling became louder and louder.
Then I saw the acting abbot's body gradually drying up, wilting, then turning into dust, and sitting on the spot.
The young monk cried.
The old monk recited scriptures on the spot and offered salvation to the acting abbot.
Bai Ye watched all this silently without saying a word.
"Master White Dragon, are you satisfied?"
At this time, a monk with a goatee looked at Bai Ye dejectedly, his eyes hollow and said: "My head is here now, Lord White Dragon, take it away!"
"The acting abbot has passed away. I originally wanted to kill you all, but since he can recognize his mistake in time, I can still be lenient!" Bai Ye said calmly.
"Open the net? Hey, Lord White Dragon, why are you so pretentious at this time? If you want to kill, kill him. Since we have chosen to side with the abbot, naturally we will not change our minds!" the monk said coldly.
"You are stubborn, don't make others stubborn. I believe there are still many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for all living beings in Li Shengzhou. It is completely meaningless to die in my hands!" Bai Ye glanced at everyone at the scene,
He shouted directly: "Is there anyone among you who is willing to fight against foreign enemies with me and protect all living beings?"
As soon as these words were said, the young monks looked at each other in confusion.
"You forced our abbot to death, and you still want us to work hard for you? Don't even think about it!" someone yelled angrily.
"Extremely stupid! Work for me? If I, Bai Ye, don't want to, what do I have to do if the Holy State here is captured? Could it be that the people who invaded Li Shengzhou came specifically to target me, Bai Ye? The monks of your Shanglong Temple look like this
He is short-sighted and has such a stupid IQ. I don’t feel it’s a pity that the acting abbot passed away.” Bai Ye snorted coldly.
"you...."
The young monks were so angry that they were speechless.
"I'll count to three and you can make your choice. If you are willing to fight with me to fight against foreign enemies, come here. If you are not willing, you can go back to the temple!"
Bai Ye said calmly, then closed his eyes: "Three!"
"two!"
"one!"
He counts very slowly.
But the monks moved even slower.
Everyone looked at each other, then stood up and walked towards Shanglong Temple.
No one is willing to stand on Bai Ye's side.
Bai Ye secretly shook his head.
“What’s the use of having faith for a foolish person?”
After saying that, he pulled out the Death Dragon Sword and swung it towards Shanglong Temple...
