Under the huge and solemn five Buddhas, two old abbots in red cassocks sat on futons, turning the beads in their hands and muttering to themselves.
One of them is the abbot of Zhengde Temple whom Li Huowang met a few years ago. His appearance is very obvious. Like Bai Lingmiao, their pupils are pink. They are both albinos.
Although the other abbot looks very normal, his appearance is exactly the same as the monk next to Li Huowang. He is the abbot of Zhengde Temple in Daqi. Compared with the time we met in Niuxin Village, he looks obviously different now.
Much fatter.
"Amitabha."
"Amitabha."
Seeing the other person chanting the Buddha's name while watching him, Li Huowang came to sit on the futon in front of them.
"Donor Li, since you have come to the temple, it is unjustifiable not to offer incense to the Buddha, right?" the abbot of Zhengde Temple in Siqi said.
Looking up at the five majestic Buddhas in the hall, which almost reached the rafters, Li Huowang raised his hand, made three pillars of lit incense, waved them casually towards them, and inserted a few cracks in the stone slabs on the ground.
Come.
"Abbott, I haven't seen you for a long time. After we said goodbye last time, you didn't expect to see us again one day, right?" Li Huowang asked Abbot Siqi who wanted to kill him at the beginning.
Li Huowang has not forgotten that not long after he came out of Qingfeng Temple, the guy in front of him deceived him. In the end, when he failed to deceive him, he sent people to chase him.
If it weren't for the Danyangzi in his body that he escaped from disaster, I might not be alive now.
"Amitabha, monks are compassionate. What I did back then was just to save more people,"
"Fart! If you are still pretending here, I already know what kind of Zhengde Temple you are! You were just trying to figure me out back then!"
"That's wrong. I was saving people back then, and you were Xinsu, but Xinsu was the source of trouble for countless people. Donor Li, am I wrong? Didn't you act unintentionally and intentionally after you escaped that time?
Have you killed many people in your life?"
"Fuck your mother!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Chandu, the abbot of Zhengde Temple in Daqi, quickly tried to smooth things over. "Okay, okay, why are you bringing up old things? Donor Li, do you have anything important to do here today?"
Although he really wanted to kill this bald donkey, in this situation, Li Huowang had to take the overall situation into consideration and could not help Fa Jiao deal with his allies.
Hearing that Chandu had given up his position, Li Huowang was too lazy to settle old scores with him. He came here today for business.
After he looked at their faces respectively, Li Huowang said: "Let's get straight to the point. Did Xuan Ni contact the Five Wisdoms Tathagata through Zhengde Temple?"
Then Li Huowang kept his story short and quickly explained his purpose of coming here to the two abbots.
After listening to all the words, Li Huowang instantly felt a change in the faces of the other two people. Then, he suddenly looked up and found that the five huge Buddhas in the hall seemed to have changed their expressions.
"Isn't it difficult to tell whether Xuan Ni came to Zhengde Temple? Her eyes have grown, right? Why? Are you the same as Zhang Tan and say you don't know?" Look at the mouth and nose in front of you.
His heart skipped a beat, and Li Huowang's expression turned cold.
"No, Si Tianjian did come here, but it has nothing to do with him. It's not him but me." After hearing the voice, Li Huowang turned his head and looked at Zendu, the abbot of Daqi Zhengde Temple.
"Xuan Ming did come to me at that time and used the help of a poor monk to see the Buddha."
"What did they say at that time? How did Xuan Mi help the Five Wisdoms Tathagata?" At the critical moment of the conversation, Li Huowang's heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Forgive me, the poor monk cannot help the donor. Naturally, the Buddha's secrets must not be leaked. The poor monk naturally does not know what the Buddha said about things that the Buddha did not want to know.
Li Huowang gritted his teeth. "You don't know? Okay! Then I'll ask the Five Wisdoms Tathagata directly! Since Xuan Ni can see the Buddha, then I can naturally do it too! Let me meet with the Five Wisdoms Tathagata!"
As soon as Li Huowang finished speaking, he suddenly heard a scolding, "Is this really ridiculous? You can see the Buddha just because you say you can?"
"I'm trying to think of a way to defeat the Dharma! What? Don't Buddhist disciples always say that they should do good deeds? If the Dharma can be defeated, how many people in the world can be saved?"
"Don't you want to do this? Didn't you just say that you are trying to kill me in order to do good deeds? Now that you have such a big good deed in front of you, you don't plan to do it? What? You think you can't earn anything from me doing good deeds?
Merit?" Li Huowang used what he just said to attack him.
"No! I can't trust you! How can anyone see the true Buddha? Besides, if you disturb the Buddha and the Buddha blames you, who can bear this responsibility?"
"Brother, let me do it. If the Buddha really takes the blame, I will bear the consequences of this karma." Zendu's words on the side made Li Huowang's newly raised fire quickly extinguished.
He was actually prepared for the other party not to cooperate, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.
"Seriously? You're not tricking me, are you?"
"Amitabha. Monks do not lie."
After hearing this, Li Huowang looked at the abbot in front of him and was obviously very pleased with him. They were both abbots, but their personalities were obviously completely different.
"Okay! When does it start??"
"There are many arrangements for the Jialan Dharma Ceremony. Donor Li will rest in the temple for one night. At noon tomorrow, senior brother and I will send you to see the Buddha."
"Okay! It's settled!" Li Huowang stood up from the futon.
Just as he was about to walk out, he turned around again and said as if joking: "Abbott, this time won't be the same as last time, right? Haha."
Li Huowang used his nails to cut open his stomach and took out the spindle that was almost stuck to his intestines. As he pulled hard, the intestines on the spindle were forcibly torn off.
As Li Huowang threw the spindle to the ground, his Xin Su identity suddenly stood out like a torch in front of the two of them.
"I think it's definitely not the case. After all, the abbot is definitely not someone who has no regard for the overall situation. Besides, I am no longer the soft persimmon who could only run away when someone targeted me."
After Li Huowang finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall. The two abbots looked at the spindles on the ground and remained silent.
"This donor Li is very suspicious,"
"Yeah yeah."
"Tomorrow...noon..." Li Huowang walked to the temple and said to himself. This was the first time he took the initiative to see Siming. If he said he wasn't nervous, he would definitely be lying.
When Li Huowang instinctively recalled everything he saw in Bai Yujing, his expression became ferocious, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and everything around him began to become distorted uncontrollably.
