Ye Chen bowed and saluted.
Master Cizhao was confused and looked at Ye Chen up and down. He seemed to have noticed something. There was a look of shock deep in his eyes, but on the surface he remained calm and said:
"The donor just said that the avenue is endless, but does it mean that every inch of progress brings happiness?"
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Exactly, Master Cizhao and all the eminent monks are so distracted here. It's really ridiculous. The road is indeed endless. People can't get a glimpse of the truth even after countless lifetimes. But is this the case? Are you giving up on yourself and waiting to die?"
"With all the time you have for empty talk, it's better to calm down and practice hard. Otherwise, if any enemies come to your door, you may have no choice but to be slaughtered."
Ye Chen's words were very rude. He was also obsessed with love and didn't really have any intention of talking nonsense, so he just said what he had in mind.
Although he concealed the aura of reincarnation, after all, he had been fighting and killing all year round, and he had a sense of majesty. When these stern words were spoken, no one in the audience dared to refute them. Instead, they all felt that what Ye Chen said was reasonable, and they all fell into deep thought. among.
Master Cizhao was stunned for a moment, recited the Buddha's name, and said: "What the donor said is absolutely true, but..."
Ye Chen said: "It's nothing but a but. If master doesn't agree with me, then forget it. I don't want to argue."
When surrounded by love, Ye Chen is particularly easily irritable, so he should try to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Master Cizhao was about to speak when suddenly there was a noise outside the temple, and he saw an old man wearing a Taoist robe and a bun, striding in with two followers. Two monks behind him wanted to stop him. But couldn't stop it.
When the monks saw the old man arriving, there was a commotion.
"Elder Tianhen of Lingxiao Tiangong, why is he here again?"
"Didn't we pay tribute a few days ago?"
"This guy wants to destroy my Buddhist purity again!"
All the monks stood up one after another and looked at the old man in Taoist robes with great vigilance.
Master Cizhao also stood up, frowned and looked at the old man in Taoist robes, and said, "Donor Tianhen, why are you here again? The offerings that need to be paid to my ancestral Buddhist temple have been settled three days ago."
The old man in the Taoist robe chuckled and said: "Old bald donkey, you have turned a deaf ear to what I, Ling Tianhen, said. How can your little offering be enough?"
Master Cizhao frowned and said, "Is there anything missing?"
Ling Tianhen said: "Master Dao, I have told you before. My Holy Son of Lingxiao Tiangong, who is also my good grandson, hehe, he has just been promoted to Tongtian Realm and became the God King. He needs a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nourish his body. , starting from this year, for the next hundred years, the offerings will be increased by 30%!"
Master Cizhao said: "Millions of years ago, the noble sect's master Ling Xiao Tianzun was in charge of the Sun God Stone, overwhelming all directions, and became the overlord of Ling Xiaoyuan. Our ancestral Buddhist temple was also willing to surrender and pay tribute. At that time, Ling Xiao Tianzun said that he would never add Fu, do you want to break your promise today?"
Ling Tianhen said: "Hey, at that time, now, the situation is different. I will give you a 30% increase in gifts. Just do as you please. Our Lingxiao Tiangong is also very reasonable. I only want you to increase the gifts for a hundred years."
Master Cizhao shook his head and said: "Thirty percent is too heavy. I wonder if it can be reduced by one or two percent?"
Ling Tianhen said angrily: "Old bald donkey, I, Lingxiao Tiangong, didn't exterminate your ancestral Buddhist temple. It's already a great mercy. Now I want you to add a little bit of worship, and you just push three and four? Haha, 30% don't like it." Right? Then give me an extra 50%!"
"Old Bald Donkey, I'll give you three days to raise money. After three days, bring out five million source jade. You can't miss a penny, otherwise I will destroy your entire ancestral Buddhist temple! Let's go!"
After saying that, Ling Tianhen left with his entourage.
The monks in Zufo Temple were in a commotion and filled with indignation. Many monks said angrily:
"This Ling Tianhen bullies others too much. Abbot, let's fight him!"
"That's right, although our Ancestral Buddha Temple is not as powerful as their Lingxiao Tiangong, but if we really fight, they won't even think of taking advantage!"
Master Cizhao's face was solemn, he pressed his palms and said: "Be quiet!"
The monks became quiet.
Master Cizhao sighed: "You all should step aside first. I have my own sense of discretion in this matter."
All the monks looked at each other, helpless, and retreated one after another.
Soon, only Ye Chen and Master Cizhao were left in the square.
Master Cizhao walked down from the high platform, knelt down in front of Ye Chen with a thud, and kowtowed with a bang.
Ye Chen was shocked and hurriedly helped Master Cizhao up and said, "Master, why is this happening!"
Master Cizhao said: "Donor, although you hide your aura, I know that you are the true Buddha! There are only two Buddhas in time and space, one Sakyamuni and one Samsara. You are the Samsara Buddha!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Buddha, please accept my obeisance!"
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his identity would be seen through by others, and this was the first time someone called him Buddha.
"Master, you don't have to be like this. Please keep my identity secret, master." Ye Chen said.
Master Cizhao solemnly said: "Absolutely, Buddha, please rest assured, I will definitely not leak it!"
Ye Chen nodded. Master Cizhao called him Buddha, which sounded a bit strange, but he did not correct it, otherwise the other party would call him the Lord of Reincarnation, which would expose the secret. He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Master Cizhao said again: "Buddha, the Lingxiao Tiangong is too threatening. It wants my ancestor's Buddhist temple to pay another five million yuan jade. This is not a small amount. In a hurry, our temple will never be able to get it. I don't know what Buddha has to do." Wonderful method?"
