Chapter 1951: Debate
"Has Master Cihang left?" Master Mingyue shouted as soon as he saw Xingchen, "I still want to invite him to stay in Xiaojin Temple for two days! He is a great benefactor of my Changsheng Town. I don't know how many donors want to see his Buddha face!"
"Amitabha, Master Cihang is a master who wants to attain the Buddhahood of Bodhisattva. How could he stay in Changsheng Town? He must have heard some news, so he hurried here from afar to eliminate the catastrophe in Changsheng Town. Now that the catastrophe is over, he must have gone to other places again!" Xingchen said lightly.
"It's a pity that I can't worship him and see his true face!" Master Mingyue said with some regret.
"Haha, he left, but his golden body stayed!" Xingchen naturally knew what Master Mingyue meant, and said with a smile, and deliberately didn't finish his words.
"Ah?" Zen Master Mingyue was stunned and said anxiously, "Uncle, why are you saying that? How can Master Cihang have a golden body? Didn't he not attain the Buddhahood of Bodhisattva?"
Xingchen pointed his hand in the direction of Jiangchao Temple and said with a smile: "Master Cihang's golden body is left in Jiangchao Temple! He has a connection with Changsheng Town. He has saved tens of thousands of people in Changsheng Town before, and now he has saved tens of thousands of people again. If you want to worship, just go to Jiangchao Temple!"
"Ah~~~" Zen Master Mingyue said in a lost voice, "So, this Jiangchao Temple... was not originally a Taoist temple, but the temple of Master Cihang of my Buddhist sect?"
"That's right!" Xingchen and Mingyue asked and answered each other, and spoke very fluently. Xingchen glanced at Xiao Hua again.
Xiao Hua was also speechless. He was just thinking about the image of Master Xiao, so he took the golden body of Jiangchao Temple to use, but he didn't expect that the stone not only smashed his feet, but also broke his legs.
"Master Mingyue..." Mo Jianli asked, "Where is Taoist Xiao Jian from Jiangchao Temple? Is he still in Xiaojin Temple?"
"I came here from Xiaojin Temple as soon as I got the news. However, when I left, all the donors gathered in Xiaojin Temple also left in a hurry. I guess Taoist Xiao Jian was also among them!"
"Well..." Mo Jianli looked at Zhu Junfeng and said earnestly, "Junfeng, today's Immortal Buddha Ceremony in Changsheng Town is very interesting. I must report this to the sect master! However, in addition to the ceremony, there is also a duel between Xiaojin Temple and Jiangchao Temple today. We still need to give them a result."
"Haha, this matter is so obvious, what else do you want?" Zen Master Mingyue laughed. "Even if Taoist Xiao does not leave Jiangchao Temple, from now on, those who go to Jiangchao Temple to worship are the golden body of the Bodhisattva of Mercy of our Buddhist sect. Do his Taoist disciples have the face to stay in Jiangchao Temple?"
"This matter still needs to be discussed between the little monk and Xiao Jian!" Xiao Hua sneered,
directly calling Zen Master Mingyue the little monk.
"Yes, I understand!" Zen Master Mingyue didn't care about these. He could drive Jiangchaoguan away, and he had the help of Master Cihang. Xiaojin Temple was famous in Changsheng Town, and its future development would definitely not be inferior to Changsheng Academy.
"Master Xiao seems to be there!" Mo Jianli pointed to the distance, which was the direction of Xiaojin Temple, and reminded Zen Master Mingyue.
"Thank you, senior, let's go there!" Zen Master Mingyue said with a smile, "If we can finalize this matter earlier, Master Xiao can still go back to Jiangchaoguan to clean up, otherwise, it will be too late. Many donors went to Jiangcheng Town to burn incense and thank you, so Master Xiao...it's not convenient for him to enter Jiangchaoguan again?"
"Humph..." Xiao Hua snorted coldly and flew down first. Xingchen frowned slightly, glared at Zen Master Mingyue, and flew down with him.
Xiao Jian, who was sitting on the dilapidated donkey cart, no longer had the confident look as before, and frowned. It seemed that he was planning something! Seeing Xiao Hua and others flying down, he hurriedly jumped off the donkey cart and bowed, saying: "Disciple greets all the seniors!"
"You know the cause of the matter, right!" Xiao Hua said lightly, "I certainly have some merits. But after all, it is far from Senior Cihang of the Buddhist Sect. Of course, my Jiangchao Temple also found the princess of the water tribe, and the merit is not small. It is hard to say who will win or lose. You are the abbot of Jiangchao Temple. You should discuss this matter with Dean Zhu and Abbot Mingyue!"
"Junior... I only heard the rumors, and I don't know the specific situation..." Xiao Jian heard that Xiao Hua seemed to admit defeat, and reacted the same way as Mo Jianli, and hurriedly said, "Please ask Xiaojin Temple to explain this matter clearly! Xiao must die as a ghost who knows."
"The matter is very simple..." Xingchen glanced at Zen Master Mingyue and decided to go into battle himself and tell the matter in detail!
"Junior thanks senior for your help!" Xiao Jian didn't know about the Water Princess, but he was quick-witted and had heard something else from Xiao Hua's words. After Xing Chen finished speaking, he bowed to Xiao Hua and said, "If senior hadn't passed by Changsheng Town, junior wouldn't even have thought of challenging Xiaojin Temple. Not to mention today's narrow victory! Everything senior has done... is for the sake of my Xiaojin Temple. Junior will never have any complaints, and senior should not think too much."
Then, Xiao Jian looked at Master Mingyue again and said with a smile: "Master Mingyue, listen to this. Senior Xiao from my Taoist sect found the princess of the water tribe and resisted the commander of the water tribe. Although he did not defeat the commander in the end, he also bought time for the arrival of Senior Cihang. Of course, Senior Cihang used the heaven-controlling device to turn the tide and collect the water of Liaojiang River, saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Changsheng Town. This kind of achievement cannot be erased, and it is also not comparable to Senior Xiao. However, the water of Liaojiang River is probably endless, right? If Senior Xiao had not found the princess of the water tribe, I don’t know how long Senior Cihang could hold on! Oh, of course, I am not questioning Senior Cihang’s cultivation, I just... "
"Humph~ How can you Taoists understand the magical powers of my Buddhist sect?" Xingchen snorted coldly, "Senior Cihang If you can become a bodhisattva, then what is Liaojiang River? "
"Of course I understand this..." Xiao Jian asked with a smile, "Even if Senior Cihang can collect the water of Liaojiang River, what if the commander of the water tribe leads a group of water tribes to attack when Senior Cihang uses his magical powers? Senior Cihang's strength alone is probably not enough, right? If Senior Mo hadn't sent the princess of the water tribe out of my Jiangchaoguan in time..."
"This credit is recognized by my Xiaojin Temple!" Zen Master Mingyue said lightly, "Today is the Immortal Buddha Ceremony. As a representative of Confucianism, Senior Mo can contribute to the defeat of Liaojiang Water Tribe. It's natural!"
I don't know whether Zen Master Mingyue and Xingchen are talking about it, but this seems to be consistent with what Xingchen said before, and both attributed the final credit to Confucianism.
"This... This is clearly the credit of my Xiaojin Temple..." Xiao Jian seemed to have underestimated the sophistry of the Buddhist sect, and was a little angry!
"If Taoist Xiao sends the girl to Liaojiang, I can naturally think that it is the credit of Xiaojin Temple!" Zen Master Mingyue said slowly.
Xiao Jian was really furious, but he rolled his eyes and said with a fake smile: "Mingyue, I told you clearly that day that Xiaojin Temple and my Jiangchaoguan will see who wins or loses on the ring. The ring just now was not over, why don't we start over again?"
Who doesn't know how to cheat? Xiao Jian's face looks thicker than Mingyue's.
"Of course ~" Zen Master Mingyue didn't move his eyebrows or raise his eyelids, and said lightly, "As long as Senior Xiao agrees..."
Xiao Jian felt like a fish bone stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth and his Adam's apple moved a few times, but he couldn't say anything. Xiao Hua is a senior, how could he go back on his word? Xiao Jian didn't expect Xiao Hua to agree.
Therefore, Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua's face was indeed as gloomy as water.
"Master Xiao..." Xingchen beside him said, "It's a bit hasty to argue about the victory or defeat now. Why don't we go back to the dojo, rest for a day, and then discuss it tomorrow?"
"Oh?" Xiao Jian was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Xingchen didn't strike while the iron was hot and finalize the matter today, but he was willing to step on the step that was delivered to his feet. Xiao Jian immediately put on a smile on his face and bowed his hands and said, "Senior Xingchen is right. I just heard the details of today's incident and haven't thought about it carefully. After all, victory or defeat will have a far-reaching impact on our two families, so we must be cautious!"
"Okay, at noon tomorrow, please invite Master Xiao and Senior Xiao to my Xiaojin Temple. The monks of my Xiaojin Temple are waiting for you!" Zen Master Mingyue was puzzled, but he also said with a smile.
Xiao Hua said calmly: "Xiao is unwilling to set foot in the Buddhist sect's temple!"
"Haha, that's easy..." Seeing Xiao Hua's rejection of the Buddhist sect, Mo Jianli hurriedly said, "How about inviting the immortal friends from Xiaojin Temple and Jiangchaoguan to my Changsheng Academy at noon tomorrow?"
"Well..." Xiao Hua was not unwilling to set foot in Xiaojin Temple, but he just wanted to hide the fact that he was Cihang!
"Okay!" Zen Master Mingyue looked at Xingchen's confident look and nodded in agreement. Then he put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, I thank you for your merits today! As soon as I return to the temple, I will burn incense and pray for you!"
"Hmph..." Xiao Jian looked at Zen Master Mingyue's pretentious look, curled his lips, and almost snorted, then asked Xiao Hua to get on the donkey cart, and told Yuanya, who had been silent beside him, to drive the cart back to Jiangchaoguan.
The monks of Xiaojin Temple naturally rode away on clouds, and the Confucianists of Changsheng Academy naturally rode on swords. Only Xiao Hua, who had the highest cultivation, sat cross-legged on the donkey cart, letting the donkey cart "squeak and twist" and make jerky sounds, and slowly moved in the Changsheng Town after the disaster.
Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Hua and wanted to say something, but seeing that Xiao Hua closed his eyes and did not speak, he thought that Xiao Hua was healing, so he did not dare to say more. Xiao Hua naturally did not heal his wounds, but he immersed his divine consciousness into his body to check the condition of the earth crystal breasts in his flesh and meridians. (To be continued.
