Before the expelled Ye Ming could say anything, Chang Hanzhe, who was watching, couldn't bear it anymore.
In his heart, Buddhism is a great sect that saves all sentient beings. How can such a sect discriminate against beggars?
Shouldn't we help beggars?
He immediately stepped forward and stopped the monk:
"Master, people in Buddhism should be compassionate, why did you do this evil thing?"
Seeing Chang Hanzhe blocking the way, the monk frowned and carefully observed Chang Hanzhe's dress.
After looking at it for a long time, I finally determined that the other person was not a monk, but was dressed more like him. After confirming this, the monk said angrily:
"This beggar lying here will affect the appearance of our temple and spoil the incense. How can we tolerate him?"
"This is unreasonable. As the Buddha says, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Don't say that Mr. Yang is not a beggar. Even if he is a beggar, he cannot be driven away so roughly!"
Chang Hanzhe was a little angry and felt that the monk's behavior was really inappropriate.
"Who are you? Just take care of these things and go on your way."
But the monk didn't argue with Chang Hanzhe at all. He called two monks to come up, carried Ye Ming, and threw him out of the temple.
Although Chang Hanzhe had no friendship with Ye Ming, he was very angry when he saw a blind and poor man being treated like this. He just threw up his sleeves and left without saying anything about wanting to become a monk in Donglan Temple.
Ye Ming looked like a "rotten person" and was thrown out of the temple. He didn't get up and just lay there.
Seeing this, Maisui hugged Lei Ling and led Donkey Gen away a little further, keeping a distance from Ye Ming, as if she thought he was embarrassed.
Chang Hanzhe didn't care so much. Seeing Ye Ming lying on the ground unable to get up, he walked to him and asked:
"Mr. Yang, are you okay? Are you injured in the fall? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"It's okay, just a few broken ribs, it's no big deal."
Ye Ming said with a relaxed expression.
Chang Hanzhe's expression changed when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and found that Ye Ming was in good condition, with no injuries at all.
Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by Ye Ming.
"Mr. Yang, since there is nothing wrong, then get up. This Donglan Temple really insults the reputation of Buddhism. Even if they ask me to become a monk here, I will not agree!"
But Ye Ming was lying on the ground unable to get up:
"This is not possible. If Donglan Temple throws me out, I will ask them to help me up."
"Mr. Yang, stop being so angry. How could they come to help you with their attitude?"
Chang Hanzhe was a little helpless about Ye Ming's rogue behavior, but he couldn't bear it if he just ignored it.
Ye Ming lying outside Donglan Temple attracted the attention of many people, and a group of people talked about it there.
Just now, many people saw a monk throwing Ye Ming out, and they were whispering.
The monk in the temple saw that something was not right and signaled to the two monks to throw Ye Ming farther away and down the mountain.
Two monks stepped forward to capture Ye Ming. Seeing this, Chang Hanzhe became nervous and stood in front of Ye Ming:
"What are you going to do?"
The two monks didn't notice Chang Hanzhe's obstruction at all. One of them pushed Chang Hanzhe to the ground and aimed at Ye Ming, trying to lift him up.
"Mr. Yang, run!"
Chang Hanzhe, who fell on his butt, did not forget to remind Ye Ming to escape.
Just when the two monks were about to succeed, they saw Ye Ming take out a large yellow-orange and golden gold ingot from nowhere.
The movements of the two monks suddenly froze, their eyes widening as they stared at the shining gold ingot, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Not only them, but other pilgrims, monks and Chang Hanzhe in the temple were all shocked.
"Oh, I originally wanted to come to Donglan Temple to donate some incense money, but now seeing your attitude, I suddenly don't want to donate anymore."
Ye Ming sighed, put the gold ingot into his pocket, turned over on the ground, and continued to lie down...
It didn’t take long for this matter to reach the ears of the old host.
When the old and frail old abbot heard the news, he immediately walked over the walls and walked as fast as flying, and led a group of monks to the entrance of the temple.
At this time, the monk who had thrown Ye Ming out earlier was squatting in front of Ye Ming, persuading Ye Ming to get up.
But no matter what he said, Ye Ming wouldn't get up, claiming that he would never get up unless the old host came to help him personally.
At this time, there were a large number of pilgrims surrounding him. Seeing this scene, they all talked and talked about it.
The old abbot came out to take a look and knew that the matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise people would be afraid of it, and if word spread, it would have a great impact on the reputation of Donglan Temple.
He walked forward quickly, held Ye Ming's arm personally and said:
"Householder, I'm here and I've made the layman feel wronged."
As he said this, with a look of remorse and regret on his face, he tried to persuade him to wake up at night.
Ye Ming smiled and took out the big gold ingot, and got up with the help of the old host himself.
The old host accidentally touched the big gold ingot in Ye Ming's hand. With just this touch, he could judge by the texture that it was real gold!
Judgment based on his years of experience is absolutely unmistakable.
Suddenly, the old host's heart was ready to move.
"Old host, I was devoted to the Buddha. I sold off my property and saved up such a gold ingot. I just thought I would have the opportunity to escape into Buddhism. But now it seems, hey~~"
Ye Ming sighed and put the big gold ingot into his arms again.
"That's all, that's all. Now it seems that I have no connection with Buddha, so I'll just go down the mountain and find a crooked neck tree and hang myself there."
With that said, he made a gesture to go down the mountain.
When the old host and others saw this, how could they agree?
A group of bald heads surrounded Ye Ming, offering kind words and looking like they were sincerely repentant.
Ye Ming seemed to be moved by their true feelings, and then said:
"Okay, then I'll stay. Hey, I haven't eaten anything since I came out. I'm so hungry~~"
"There are fasting meals in the temple."
"But I want to drink and eat meat."
"Yes, there is wine and meat!"
Under the leadership of the old host, everyone gathered around and invited Ye Ming to the side hall to prepare meals for him.
Chang Hanzhe and Maisui also followed.
Looking at the faces of these monks, Chang Hanzhe felt heartache.
Maisui still had no expression, but Lei Ling in her arms showed contempt.
Even monsters like her can easily enter this temple without being discovered, which shows that its name is not worthy of its name.
Ye Ming was surrounded by a group of monks holding the moon in their arms, but he was unhappy.
He felt that the side hall was too narrow and not grand enough, so he asked to go to the main hall to eat and rest.
This request made the old host a little embarrassed. There are many pilgrims offering incense in the main hall...
When Ye Ming saw that the temple was not cooperating, he suddenly lost his temper. He took out the big gold ingot in his hand and was about to go down the mountain.
Seeing this, the old host was heartbroken and agreed.
Immediately arrange for people to persuade the pilgrims and free up the main hall for the night.
Not long after, all the wine and meat that Ye Ming wanted came.
Judging from the exquisiteness of these wines and dishes, you can tell that this group of monks must have broken the rules on weekdays.
Soon, a large table of good wine and meat was placed in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall. In the middle was a roasted suckling pig, which looked golden and crispy, quite tempting.
Ye Ming also refused to eat alone and asked Chang Hanzhe, Mai Sui and the old host to eat together.
The old host didn't have the guts to break the precept in public, so he refused.
When he refused, Ye Ming lost his temper and wanted to overturn the table, not in the mood to eat.
Seeing this, the old host had no choice but to serve it "reluctantly".
Before starting to eat, Ye Ming took out the gourd from his waist and handed it to the monk who had previously targeted him:
"Go and fill me up with a gourd of wine."
Although Ye Ming had a bad attitude, the monk bowed his head and went away with the gourd.
How much wine can such a small gourd hold?
After that, it’s meal time.
A group of people drank and ate meat in front of the Buddha in the main hall, and the spilled wine once flowed to the feet of the Buddha statue.
This meal was very tasteless to Chang Hanzhe. He had been a vegetarian for a long time, but he didn't expect to "break the habit" here today.
Of course, Ye Ming didn't force him, but Donglan Temple's performance was really disappointing, and he was in a bad mood, so he started drinking and eating meat together.
The old host's restaurant is not bad. At first, he seemed a little shy when he clinked glasses with Ye Ming. After drinking a few large bowls of wine, the old host changed. He directly called Ye Ming brothers and talked nonsense.
Ye Ming seemed to be drunk too, bragging with his old host hooked up...
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The cups and plates on the table were messy. The old host hooked Ye Ming's neck and shouted that he wanted to marry him. He said nonsense like "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day."
Ye Ming slapped a plate of leftovers directly on the old host's face. What nonsense are you talking about? The old man has been buried up to his neck in dirt, and he still wants to take advantage of Yangshou?
After cleaning up the old host, the monk who had gone to get a drink came back with a gourd, feeling very guilty.
"You, there is something wrong with your gourd!
I drank all the wine in the temple, but I just couldn’t get enough of it!
We have no choice~~"
"It's okay, if it's not full, it's not full!"
Ye Ming looked like a drunkard, talking nonsense, took the gourd, took out the big gold ingot from his arms, threw it back, and landed on the head of the Buddha statue in the main hall.
"I am happy today, so I will reward you with this."
After saying that, he staggered onto the donkey at the door and went out.
As a demon, he would not abide by the rules of riding a donkey and not drinking, and drinking and not riding a donkey. He would even drink and ride at the same time.
Chang Hanzhe didn't drink, so he got up and left.
Maisui hugged Lei Ling, who was full and had enough to drink, and left with her.
After Ye Ming and his party left the temple, the old abbot, who had been lying on the table after being drunk just now, suddenly woke up, wiped the oil stains on his face, and looked at the top of the Buddha statue without being drunk:
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly take the things down?"
When the monks heard this, they quickly moved the ladder. Regardless of whether it was disrespectful to the Buddha, they climbed directly onto the Buddha statue, kicked the Buddha's nose, and took the big gold ingot on its head.
The moment he got the big gold ingot, the monk felt something was wrong. The texture didn't look like gold...
Suddenly, he had a bad premonition in his heart. The monk did not dare to express his guess, so he came down from the ladder stiffly.
When the old host saw his expression was different, his heart skipped a beat. He realized something, but he didn't want to believe it.
After all, I had touched it myself, so it wouldn't be fake.
He asked with a trace of luck in his heart:
"how?"
"Host, you can see for yourself~~"
The monk did not dare to speak directly and handed the "big gold ingot" into the hands of the old abbot.
I don’t know how much gold and silver the old host has handled over the years. You can tell the authenticity of something by just touching it.
The moment he got the thing, the old host stiffened.
This is a stone, a stone painted with gold paint...
"Chase, chase them quickly and bring them back!"
A group of monks woke up from a dream and chased out with a group of warrior monks.
It's just that those people have disappeared long ago, how can they be found?
When the old host received this result, he was stunned like a thunderbolt.
This farce in Donglan Temple has been seen by countless pilgrims. Now that they have not made any money, their reputation has suddenly become bad. Needless to say, in a few days, this matter will definitely spread throughout the nearby villages and towns, Donglan The reputation of the temple was ruined.
The old host seemed to have suddenly become demented. He stood at the door of the main hall with a stupid face and murmured:
"It's over, it's over, Donglan Temple, it's over..."
...
