Chapter 1935 Broken Donkey Cart
"And these few days... I have been worried about whether my uncle can come, so I didn't think much about this matter..." Master Mingyue finally said, "Let Jiang Chaoguan come, our Xiaojin Temple will fight back, how can we be afraid of them?"
"Hahaha, that's right, nephew Mingyue!" After hearing the last few words of Master Mingyue, Xingchen laughed, "That's right! No matter what fighting rules Jiang Chaoguan draws up, they are just ants in front of the powerful force of my Xiaojin Temple!"
After saying that, Xingchen looked up and entered Xiaojin Temple. The three disciples in the realm of enlightenment also followed, leaving Master Mingyue and others behind.
"Haha, Uncle Xingchen really has a cheerful personality!" Mingfa said enviously behind him.
"That's right!" Zen Master Mingyue whispered, "If we can keep Master Uncle in my Xiaojin Temple for a while after the Immortal Buddha Ceremony, we will definitely benefit a lot."
"Abbot~" Just as Zen Master Mingyue was thinking about how to keep Xingchen, a disciple whispered behind him, "It seems that someone has come down the mountain!"
"Oh?" Zen Master Mingyue turned his head hurriedly after hearing this. Sure enough, just below the gate of Xiaojin Temple, on the mountain road about a mile away, there were several carriages, slowly galloping over, and there were several strong men on horseback guarding the carriages.
"This is Feng, the shopkeeper of Qingsong Pharmacy in the west of the town!" Mingcheng looked at it for a moment and said with a smile, "I heard him talk about it when I passed by Qingsong Pharmacy that day. The Immortal Buddha Ceremony is a rare event in Changsheng Town. He will definitely come to support my Xiaojin Temple today!"
Mingyue Zen Master was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He naturally understood that in the minds of the people in Changsheng Town, the so-called Immortal Buddha Ceremony was not much different from ordinary community dramas, singing and playing, etc. This shopkeeper Feng came to support... just to watch the excitement!
"Forget it, since you are here, you are a guest. My Xiaojin Temple cannot be too neglectful!" Mingyue Zen Master waved his hand, "Let me welcome you!"
Feng, the shopkeeper of Qingsong Pharmacy, is here, and the shopkeeper of the grocery store. The shopkeeper of the grain and oil store, etc., can they be far behind? Carriages and people flocked to Xiaojin Temple from all around Changsheng Town, morning or night. By the time the sun was high in the sky, hundreds of people had already arrived around the arena, and there were still many people coming on the mountain road below...
Mingyue Zen Master really underestimated the gimmick of the Immortal Buddha Ceremony. In particular, this Immortal Buddha Ceremony also included competitions from the Buddhist sect, Confucianism, and Taoism. These hundreds of people had already exceeded the number of people who usually came to Xiaojin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. His Xiaojin Temple only had about 30 people, how could he handle it?
Fortunately, just when Mingyue Zen Master was sweating and anxious. Changsheng Academy sent hundreds of disciples, led by a teacher, to assist Xiaojin Temple in maintaining order at the ceremony. While Master Mingyue was extremely grateful, he was about to discuss with the gentleman how to assign these disciples to cooperate with Xiaojin Temple to arrange the hundreds of people. The gentleman only greeted Master Mingyue with a smile, and after announcing his name, he immediately turned around and ordered more than a hundred disciples to be divided into dozens of teams. He led the villagers in various directions of the ring without discussing with Master Mingyue at all. Master Mingyue was very dissatisfied. This was clearly "blatant interference in other people's affairs"! Where would Xiaojin Temple put its face! However, in just a moment, the disciples of Changsheng Academy, who were divided into several teams, each performed their duties and commanded a group of villagers. Seeing that the mess around the ring became orderly. Master Mingyue smiled bitterly. How could he not know that his Xiaojin Temple was still vulnerable compared to Changsheng Academy! Not to mention the number of disciples and cultivation, even the experience of dealing with large scenes was far behind! Zhu Junfeng proposed to hold the Immortal Buddha Ceremony in Xiaojin Temple, on the one hand to see how Xiaojin Temple would respond, on the other hand... naturally to see Xiaojin Temple's joke.
"Not bad!" Zen Master Mingyue smiled bitterly. He was also thankful, "I have always respected Changsheng Academy, and Changsheng Academy doesn't need any incense! They are... harmonious with each other, so Zhu Junfeng can send disciples to help. Although Changsheng Academy is strong. But today is the Immortal Buddha Ceremony, it's nothing for them to cover up the edge of my Xiaojin Temple! Immortal Buddha, immortal Buddha, this Changsheng Academy is in front of my Xiaojin Temple!"
No matter whether it was Master Mingyue's self-deception or Changsheng Academy's meddling, in short, the order in front of the ring gradually improved. Even if many villagers came later, they were all lined up in an orderly manner under the guidance of Changsheng Academy disciples.
Naturally, not all the villagers who came to the ring were kind-hearted. Some of them were dissatisfied with the arrangement, and those who stood in a bad position would inevitably complain and have some conflicts. For these people, the students of Changsheng Academy showed no mercy at all. They either subdued them or drove them out. Their thunderbolt methods made Mingyue Zen Master and others jealous. In the eyes of the Buddhist monks, these people were just pilgrims and their parents, but in the eyes of the students, they were troublemakers, and all kinds of methods could be used! Even many of them who obviously did not come to watch the ring competition, and had dirty thoughts in their hearts, did not approach at all when they saw the students of the academy, and turned away from them.
There was a constant flow of people, and when the sun was high in the sky, there was already a dark mass of people in front of the ring. The people in the front came early, and some brought their own chairs and stools. Even if the people behind brought them, the people in front blocked their sight, and they could not see the ring clearly when they sat down. Zen Master Mingyue took a quick look and was really shocked. There must be nearly two thousand people watching the fun?
"Amitabha, if these people come to my Xiaojin Temple, each of them will offer a stick of incense to the Buddha, and each person will give a penny to Xiaojin Temple..." Zen Master Mingyue couldn't help but think more.
"Brother presiding officer, no one has come to Changsheng Academy and Jiangchao Temple yet!" Just as Zen Master Mingyue was thinking about it, Mingfa ran over and whispered.
"It doesn't matter~" Zen Master Mingyue said with a smile, "All the students from Changsheng Academy are here. Can their dean still come? As for Jiang Chaoguan... Oops! I forgot about it. Xiao Jian and I haven't made an agreement yet. Time! That guy is so insidious...he...he won't come, right?"
At the end of the sentence, Master Mingyue's face almost changed! If Jiang Chao doesn't come, won't this arena become a joke? The jealousy of Jiang Chaoguan and the worry about the non-arrival of sex dust in the past few days have made Zen Master Mingyue a little confused.
"Buzzing..." A slight sound came from the sky!
Zen Master Mingyue's ears twitched, and his face showed joy. He raised his eyes and saw that in the mid-air in the distance, there were several figures flying towards him with sword light flashing.
"Amitabha! Someone from Changsheng Academy is here!" Zen Master Mingyue clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Now that the Confucian cultivators are here, the Immortal and Buddha Ceremony can begin! As for the Taoists from Jiang Chaoguan...if they don't come, all we can do is say He fled without fighting! There is nothing to be afraid of!”
As he spoke, Zen Master Mingyue paused the tin staff in his hand, just to urge the Buddhist instrument to fly high into the sky. However, from the mountain gate of Xiaojin Temple behind Zen Master Mingyue, several loud Buddha chants came from: " Amitabha, good, good, my nephew Ming Yue, why don’t you hurry up and welcome the Confucian scholar?”
"Yes, Uncle Xingchen!" Zen Master Mingyue was overjoyed. Performing flying skills in front of so many people was a huge attraction. It would have great significance for the reputation of Xiaojin Temple in the future. He could almost use his heels. I can imagine how long these faithful men and women will see me when they come to Xiaojin Temple to worship Buddha and fulfill their vows.
However, before he could activate his telekinesis, several very excited donkey braying sounds came from the mountain path below the hillside! Immediately, a hoarse voice with the same excitement came faintly. Zen Master Mingyue couldn't hear clearly what the voice said, but he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart... because the voice was very familiar, wasn't it the Taoist priest Xiao Jian of Jiang Chaoguan?
Sure enough, when he raised his eyes and looked up, on the mountain road in the distance, a lame donkey was pulling a broken cart. In front of the cart was Yuan Ya, holding a small whip in his hand, trying his best to control the cart towards Xiaojin Temple. . After Yuan Ya, of course, there was Xiao Jian, who was standing in the car, head tilted and waving to himself!
"Alas..." Zen Master Mingyue sighed, "Is this... a Taoist guard of honor? How shameful! Mingcheng... you go and greet me. The people around you are also here to attend the Immortal and Buddha Ceremony. I, Xiaojin Temple, cannot lose etiquette. !”
Unfortunately, before Mingcheng could speak, Zen Master Mingyue heard Xingchen's instructions in his ears: "Oh, the Taoists have actually fallen to such a state! How can they be my rivals in the Buddhist sect! That's all, nephew Mingyue, you go Come and greet me, you and I are also here to attend the Immortal and Buddha Ceremony, I, Xiaojin Temple, must not lose our etiquette!”
"Yes...yes..." Zen Master Mingyue opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he saw Xingchen flying up from the mountain gate with Xingkong, Xingmin and Xingfan, the crowd of nearly two thousand people burst out. Everyone screamed in excitement, and many people even prostrated themselves on the ground. They shut up helplessly, waved their hands, and shouted, "Ming Dharma, Ming Cheng, come down the mountain with me to welcome the Taoist lineage of Jiang Chaoguan!" We'll see you in the ring soon, don't hold back, I'll beat them into pig heads!"
"Yes, senior brother!" Seeing that Zen Master Mingyue was so angry that he spoke like this, how dare Mingfa and Mingcheng not agree loudly!
Zen Master Mingyue strode down the hillside. The mountain road that had been cleaned with water had already become dusty after being trampled by two thousand people. The hem of Zen Master's brand new robe was stained a lot. Those little stains were just like Zen Master Mingyue's mood. Hard to cover up. However, seeing the donkey cart approaching, Zen Master Mingyue took a deep breath, handed the tin staff to Mingcheng, put his hands together and saluted: "Taoist Xiao, the poor monk represents our Buddhist sect, and welcomes the Taoist lineage to join our Buddhist and Confucian sects." The Immortal Buddha Ceremony!”
Ps: In fact, Xiao Hua participated in the group competition...there is really no surprise! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please read it.)
