Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World

Building the Strongest Shaolin Temple in Another World Chapter 42

Seeing Huo Yuanzhen stand up, many people next to him shouted.

"It's Shaolin's Abbot Yi Jie!".

"Yes, really, didn't expect someone who can really communicate with Buddha to come."

"Abbot Yi Jie, next time we have Divine Vestige, we'll see it too".

When the people below saw Yi Jie, they actually felt like those fans in later generations saw the star. The cheers came one after another, and the scene seemed a bit chaotic for a while.

Li Xuan didn't expect this Yi Jie to be so popular, but it didn't match the effect he wanted to achieve.

hurriedly said loudly: "Yi Jie, you disregard your status as a monk, pretend to be Divine Vestige, and deceive the people, you are guilty!".

"This poor monk has a clear conscience, what's his sin?".

"You still dare to quibble, your Shaolin Temple is clearly a small broken temple, your Master Profound Abyss is dead, you are almost out of food, you became an abbot, and you have completely disregarded the face of the Buddhist family and started Telling people to earn incense money, what is the difference between such an act and those street performers, it is extremely embarrassing and conspicuous!".

Huo Yuanzhen sneered: "Monks are also human beings and have to live. Besides, this poor monk doesn't think it's a shameful thing to tell a book. As long as he makes money by his own ability, it's honorable," said Master Li Xuan. I'm as embarrassed as the street performers, putting it that way, all kinds of craftsmen in the world are embarrassing, this poor monk has never felt that way."

After Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, there were many people who were dissatisfied with Li Xuan.

Coming here, they are all ordinary people. In addition to farming, fishing and chopping wood, those who make a living on the streets every day also account for a considerable part.

Someone immediately questioned Li Xuan.

“Master Li Xuan, I’m a street performer. If I perform well, others will give me money. If I don’t perform well, I’ll just laugh at it. How can you and I be ashamed?”.

“Old man is a storyteller. I have heard Abbot Yi Jie speak many times, why don’t I feel ashamed of myself?”.

"We have our own craftsmanship, and people are willing to give money. If it's shameful, then you people from Lawful King Temple go out every day to beg for alms and care about other people's begging, isn't it more shameful!".

Li Xuan was originally saying that Huo Yuanzhen disregarded his status as a monk, and didn't expect Huo Yuanzhen to bring trouble to others, which aroused a crusade and an instant excitement.

Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Yi Jie, don't deliberately provoke, even if you say that you have the ability, but you still go out to borrow, as far as Lao Na knows, you not only borrowed thousands of taels from Lvye Bank. , even went to the bank in Dengfeng County to borrow 50,000 tael of silver to build your Shaolin Temple, and then deliberately called the built Wanfo Pagoda as Divine Vestige, attracting many people to spend money to invite Buddha inside, Such money-making practices, and those profiteer , , ”.

Speaking of this, Li Xuan suddenly realized that he almost made a mistake again, and if he continued, he might even attract attacks from businessmen.

He hurriedly changed his tune and said: "This kind of practice that values worldly gold and silver is simply a disgrace to Buddhism!".

Huo Yuanzhen laughed: "Master Li Xuan, you are really confused. Although money is an external thing, it is also a necessity of life. I built it by Shaolin, it is right to borrow money, and it is true that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda charges silver taels. But what about this? The Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda is charged, and the incense money is also collected. They all want the Buddha to bless the people's well-being. If this is also wrong, then your Lawful King Temple has made less incense money today, right? If you are willing to return the money, I will return the money from the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda to the people, but your money may be returned, but my Shaolin's money, I am afraid to return the money to those donors, they will not want it."

As soon as Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, there were others to join in.

"Abbot Yi Jie, I bought a merit card at Wanfo Pagoda, one thousand taels, but your Buddha True Spirit, I made a profit from these two transactions, and I still If you want the rest of us at Chamber of Commerce to go to you to ask for merit cards, you must not accept them, otherwise we will be stuck in Shaolin Temple and won't leave."

The Boss who invited the merit card a few days ago was also here at this time. I just heard that Li Xuan seemed to be insulting the businessman, and I felt unhappy. Now he is the first to stand up to support Huo Yuanzhen.

Some people who were dissatisfied with Li Xuan said: "I spent a lot of incense money here just now, and now I regret it. If you Lawful King Temple refund the money, then I will thank you first." .

The scene became more and more chaotic, Li Xuan wanted to reprimand Huo Yuanzhen, but absolutely didn't expect this result.

Seeing that things were getting worse for the Lawful King Temple, Dharma King Li Kong finally couldn't sit still.

"Junior Brother, sit down and stop talking".

Li Xuan looked at his Senior Brother, and said with a face full of shame: "Senior Brother, this kid is so eloquent and hard to deal with."

"hmph, it's not easy to deal with, I don't think so".

Dharma King Li Kong stood up and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot Yi Jie, there may be something unpleasant in the words of the elder brother just now, but you are an abbot, so don't lower him. oneself to somebody's level".

Huo Yuanzhen made a Buddha name: "It's okay, this poor monk just said, no matter what he doesn't understand, he can ask this poor monk for advice, he must have been taught by now".

Li Xuan was once again taunted by Huo Yuanzhen, where his face turned red and white with anger, but he did not dare to stand up and put Huo Yuanzhen in the right place again.

Li Kong did not continue to entangle on this issue, which would only make Li Xuan more embarrassed, but said: "In my Buddhism, there are abbots and abbots in monasteries, and almost every monastery has abbots, But not every monastery has an abbot. There is no other reason. Anyone who can serve as an abbot must be an eminent monk with high morality, proficient in Buddhism, and a profound cultivation base. Only in this way can he win the trust of others. Laughing, insulting Buddhism, I wonder what Abbot Yi Jie thinks of what this poor monk said?".

The level of bearishness is indeed much stronger than that of Li Xuan. He started with technical issues in the professional field. In his opinion, Huo Yuanzhen is young and his theoretical level of Buddhism is definitely not as good as his own. , as long as Huo Yuanzhen is defeated from this aspect, then it will naturally make him dignified, Shaolin dignified, and his Lawful King Temple will definitely be the tide rises, the boat floats.

Over there, Huo Yuanzhen ordered nodded: "What the abbot Likong said is not bad, the abbot must be an eminent monk who is proficient in Buddhism, but this matter has nothing to do with age, whoever attains shall be first. Live a hundred years without ambition."

"Well said!".

Dharma King Li Kong's face turned cold when he heard Huo Yuanzhen's intentions against him: "In this case, this poor monk has something to understand, please Abbot Yi Jie to enlighten me."

"Bad Abbot, please speak".

Dharma King Li Kong coughed and said, "It is said that a man went to the temple to worship Buddha, and he worshipped Bodhisattva Guanyin. After praying, he found that there was also a person beside him, and this person was long and worshipped on it. The Bodhisattva Guanyin was exactly the same, so this person asked curiously, are you Bodhisattva Guanyin?".

"The man replied, yes, I am Bodhisattva Guanyin, so this person who worships Buddha is very strange, why does Bodhisattva Guanyin worship himself?".

After Dharma King Li Kong finished speaking, he laughed without saying a word, and the people next to him were confused, why should he worship himself?

Seeing that no one could guess it, Dharma King Li Kong smiled at Huo Yuanzhen, thinking that this time you will not be embarrassed.

didn't expect Huo Yuanzhen but said: "This story illustrates a problem, it is important to seek Buddha, but don't put all your spiritual destiny on the Buddha, the Buddha will not bless yourself not working hard , people who rely entirely on the destiny, the most fundamental thing is to rely on yourself, even Bodhisattva is like this, Bodhisattva's move is to warn the world, if you want something done well, do it yourself".

"Abbot Yi Jie said it well!".

The people below understood it, they felt it was reasonable, and they all applauded.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuanzhen couldn't be stumped, and his face was overwhelmed, and he continued: "A warrior came to a monk's room with a live fish in his hand, and said to the monk, "Tell me." Is the fish in your hand dead or alive? If your Abbot Yi Jie is that monk, how would you answer?".

After Dharma King Li Kong's question was asked, the people next to him pondered and thought that there was a problem in this, and if the answer was dead. Then the warrior will let go of the fish. The fish is already alive. If the answer is alive, the warrior will secretly squeeze the fish to death, so no matter how you answer, you will probably lose.

However, Huo Yuanzhen answered without the slightest hesitation: "I guess dead".

Dharma King Li Kong laughed heartily: "Stupid, you guessed it was dead, when the warrior let go the fish fell, it was still alive, you lost".

Huo Yuanzhen also laughed: "Yes, I lost, but I saved the fish".

The people next to him were stunned. After a while, they were full of admiration and said in unison, "The abbot is merciful!".

Of course, this abbot refers to Huo Yuanzhen, not the old monk.

At this time, in the eyes of everyone, it is unfavorable to continuously ask questions to make things difficult, and it is impossible to compare with Huo Yuanzhen.

The Guan Shanyue next to her even put her hands together, secretly glad she chose to join Shaolin.

Dharma King Li Kong, who lost consecutively, flew into a rage out of humiliation, even rolled up his sleeves and said again: "Don't be eloquent here to show off, you spread rumors that there is a Divine Vestige, this poor monk and the others have not seen it and will not believe it".

Huo Yuanzhen glanced at Dharma King Li Kong and said to him: "Bad Abbot, you didn't see it, so you don't believe it, okay, then, this abbot asks you, I have a piece in my hand. Stone, do you believe it?".

He glared at Huo Yuanzhen badly: "I didn't see it, how do I know?".

Huo Yuanzhen opened his hand, and there was a small pebble in his palm.

"Bad Abbot, what you don't see doesn't exist?".

The bad news is speechless.

"Good!".

The crowd erupted in applause again, this Abbot Yi Jie said it well, you dare to deny it without seeing it, you deserve to be humiliated by others.
