After a while, the sun was high.
The sun is shining on the main hall of Hanshan Temple, adding a touch of righteousness to the solemnity.
The arena in front of the hall was crowded with people.
Many people in Jinling City had nothing to do and came here to watch the competition.
This also makes Hanshan Temple, which has always been quiet, feel a little more fireworks.
The monks from all walks of life were gearing up in the audience, eager to try.
Everyone wants to win this competition and become the host of Hanshan Temple.
"Good guy, so many people are here..."
Wang Ye sat on the eaves of the pagoda in the temple, looked at the dense crowd below, and said, "This group of monks don't know how to run a business..."
“What a great opportunity to make money, wasted like this!”
"If you let me do it, I will set up an accounting office at the door, and I will charge one tael of silver as entry fee to watch the competition."
"There is no one in the side hall, so we let the vendors set up stalls here and charge them three taels of silver a day for the stalls. This is a lot of income at the end of the day!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye's face was full of regret.
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Aji rolled his eyes.
He looked at Wang Ye and said, "Old money junkie, I finally discovered that you are a damn money junkie!"
"This Hanshan Temple is a truly peaceful place for Buddhism..."
"If I follow your method, what's the difference between it and a teahouse like Songfenglou?"
"You brat..."
After hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye was about to say something.
"Both of you, please stop talking!"
At this time, Bai Luhan on the side said: "Especially you, old money fan..."
"It's just a matter of taking advantage of others' opportunities and setting up a stall at the door. The few old monks who were angry at the door were trembling all over."
"Now I'm sitting in a pagoda where the relics of eminent monks are enshrined, watching the martial arts competition, and I dare to make a loud noise..."
"Are you really going to offend Hanshan Temple to death?"
Inside and outside the words, Bai Luhan's words were full of questions.
After hearing Bai Luhan's words, Wang Ye was about to say something.
But at this moment, a sound was heard.
Xun Sheng looked around and saw Zen Master Chen slowly walking onto the ring.
Probably because of the emphasis on competition, Zen Master Liaochen was wearing a cassock and a dharma crown at this time.
He is holding a tin staff, which is shining with gold and is quite eye-catching.
At first glance, he looks like a great monk.
"Good guy..."
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye said in surprise: "This monk Luochen has really spent a lot of money..."
"I even wore the outfit I wore when I passed away..."
"Old money fan, please stop talking..."
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Aji rolled his eyes: "You exposed your uneducated nature as soon as you opened your mouth..."
—————
"This is a robe, worn by eminent monks only on important occasions..."
"Do you think this eminent monk wears this outfit as a shroud?"
"Don't say..."
Seeing this scene, Chen Chong on the side said: "This dress is not bad."
"When Zen Master Liaochen puts it on, he really looks a bit like Tang Sanzang..."
Following Chen Chong's words, Zen Master Liaochen slowly came to the center of the ring.
He stood with one palm in front of his chest and softly recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, thanks to all of you, come and participate in my competition in Hanshan Temple!"
"You are all Zen practitioners, and you must also know that Hanshan Temple has always only practiced Zen, not martial arts!"
"The rivers and lakes are turbulent, and people from the rivers and lakes often enter our Hanshan Temple and disturb the rest of the ancestors in the temple. As a descendant, Lingchen can do nothing!"
"Therefore, the poor monk learned from the pain and decided to take a break from both Zen and martial arts to protect the peace of our temple. The winner of this martial arts competition will be the host of Hanshan Temple!"
"For the sake of fairness, I asked my two junior brothers, Liao Fan and Liao Ai, to serve as witnesses!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two monks stood up and clasped their hands in salute.
The moment these two people stood up kindly, Wang Ye and others' hearts moved.
There was no other reason. Liao Fan and Liao Chi were the old monks who were trembling with anger just now.
"Good guy, Lao Cai is really ruthless..."
Seeing this scene, Aji on the side said: "If you don't want to offend, you don't want to offend. A bunch of sins will offend all the senior fellow apprentices..."
"This means these three masters don't know martial arts..."
"Otherwise, I have to convert you!"
"roll roll roll!"
After hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye raised his hand and shuddered: "Shut up and watch, don't be annoying!"
After receiving a shudder from Wang Ye, Aji rolled his eyes and looked towards the audience.
"Okay, let's stop talking..."
At this time, Zen Master Liaochen continued: "Since Hanshan Temple does not practice martial arts, no one can be the leader this time..."
"Fortunately, I, the Buddha, are merciful. Master Bupo of the Vajra Zen Sect saw our predicament and took the initiative to serve as the challenger for me, Hanshan Temple!"
"As long as all fellow practitioners defeat him, you will become the champion on your own!"
"After becoming the challenger, others can continue to challenge. The one who becomes the challenger at night will be the new host of Hanshan Temple!"
Following Zen Master Luochen's words, a figure jumped up and landed on the stage.
At first glance, it is Monk Fubo!
? ? ?
Seeing this, Wang Ye and others couldn't help but be stunned.
Although they know that Monk Bupo has never played his cards according to common sense.
But they didn't expect that he would play so wildly!
This Bupo monk actually represents Hanshan Temple and becomes the champion!
"Amitabha!"
Just when Wang Ye and others were shocked, Monk Bupo chanted the Buddha's name softly.
He stood with one palm in front of his chest and said, "Everyone, I am the only successor of the Vajra Zen Sect..."
"You are all Buddhists, and you also know that our Vajra Zen Sect has always been passed down by a single lineage."
"So, the poor monk wanted to take this opportunity to carry forward the Vajra Zen Sect, so he represented Hanshan Temple and became the champion."
"This time, I hope all fellow practitioners will spare no effort to teach me, so that we can have an upright competition!"
vomit!
After hearing Monk Bupo's words, Wang Ye and others all looked like they were vomiting.
What Monk Fupo said was quite decent.
But Wang Ye and the others didn't believe it at all.
He attacked the Bupo monk by refining poison and poison, and used his junior brother to block the sword at the slightest disagreement.
If he can compete openly and openly, then he is a ghost!
"This is great..."
Seeing this, Wang Ye said: "I originally thought that Monk Fupo would play as a challenger..."
"I didn't expect him to be the champion..."
"Now everyone will have to fight against him..."
"If I were these monks in the audience, I would rather not compete for this host than fight against Monk Bupo!"
"It's okay if you can't win. If he recognizes you as your junior brother, you'll be in trouble for eight lifetimes!"
As soon as he said this, Aji and others on the side nodded.
While they were nodding, a monk took out a pot of soup and drank it in one gulp.
He jumped up to the ring, looked at Monk Bupo and said, "Hongyun Temple Wuding, I want to ask your Excellency for advice!"
Hongyun Temple! ?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
