"Amitabha......"
The abbot glanced at the sky, lowered his eyes, and murmured a sentence.
The typhoon shows no signs of abating so far...
The roof of the main hall is made of the same material as the side rooms and other rooms, and so far, the roof has not been removed, perhaps because of Buddha's blessing.
The answer is self-evident.
The abbot turned around, looked up at the tall Buddha statue, and a fleeting look of pity seemed to cross his eyes...
Not far away, the monks, shielding the young novice with their bodies, displayed a willingness to sacrifice their lives for the abbot and their fellow disciples...
But perhaps due to a lack of experience, having never experienced such a large typhoon, they knew nothing else they could do besides protecting people.
Song Chenghou struggled to get up, but Song Chengjian immediately stopped him...
Helpless, Song Chenghou could only "rudely" sit down and say to the abbot, "Abbot, my second brother has some experience in dealing with complex situations..."
Since this place may not be safe either, we need to make plans as soon as possible.
We are merely guests here, and shouldn't be usurping the host's place, but since we're now stuck together, we'd like to offer some assistance..."
The abbot understood and immediately nodded, "You are all kind-hearted benefactors, there is no need for concern..."
This situation was indeed unexpected.
Brother Song, you are all very capable and willing to help. On behalf of all the monks in the temple, I thank you, but...
If there's a way, I have a favor to ask...
Even if they can't take care of me, is there any way to protect the Buddha statue...?
After the abbot finished speaking, the disciples behind him all bowed their heads and murmured "Amitabha Buddha"...
"call......"
Outside the hall, a strong wind blew debris from the backyard to the hall's entrance...
"Bang!"
The Song brothers worked together to close the main hall door, temporarily keeping the raging typhoon outside.
Song Chenghou looked at his second brother, Song Chengjian, with a questioning expression.
Song Chengjian said directly, "Having disturbed the abbot for so long, regardless of the outcome, we will do our best to give it a try..."
The two brothers nodded to the abbot in unison.
The abbot breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Whatever you intend to do, and how you require the disciples' cooperation, just tell me directly. There's no need to hold back..."
Time is of the essence...
Song Chengjian picked up Wen Shishi and got up. It was rare for her brothers to talk to the abbot, so she sat obediently in her second brother's arms and didn't move.
Song Chengjian immediately summoned his third, seventh, and eighth brothers. Before he and his eldest brother entered the hall, the three brothers were already with the monks...
To make it easier to understand the work they have already done.
"What rescue efforts did you and your masters undertake before entering the main hall?"
Song Chengjian looked at his elder brother, and after receiving his brother's instruction, he asked.
"I'll go first..."
The third brother, Song Chengxin, spoke up, "When we arrived at the meditation room, trees and stones from the backyard had rolled down and were blocking the entrance to the side room..."
The roof was also at risk of collapsing at any moment, so we worked with the workers to evacuate the people...
After encountering many obstacles along the way, we finally arrived here. The seventh and eighth brothers, being quick-witted, managed to salvage some monks' robes nearby...
The chefs returned to the kitchen and managed to salvage some food...
After the third brother finished speaking, the seventh brother added, "Apart from the abbot who was just feeling unwell, no one else is injured for the time being..."
"Besides a few dozen monks' robes, what was salvaged was not much food, and there was no water either..."
Song Chengjian looked at Lao Ba, "Is there any more?"
Song Chengxi began, "That's basically it. There's not much to salvage. I just checked, and the side and rear sections of the main hall have collapsed; there's no exit..."
If danger occurs here, the only exit, the closest one, is probably still through the main hall and the front door…
Song Chengjian nodded, affirming their actions. Since they had received the abbot's approval, he directly assigned tasks.
"It's not safe here. We need to hurry and prepare a response..."
"Eighth Brother, as you said, you're responsible for clearing a passage from here to the main hall entrance, in case of retreat..."
Song Sung-seok immediately replied, "Okay..."
Song Chengjian continued, "Third brother, find a cook to take you to the area around the kitchen and gather all the available food and water here..."
If the temple has water bags that can hold water, that would be best...
If not, a bucket will suffice, but the bucket should not be too large...
Song Chengxin immediately said, "Okay."
"Seventh brother, the temple should still have some commonly used medicines. Ask the abbot for directions and ask a monk to take you there..."
"Try to get all the remaining amount..."
Just as the seventh brother was about to leave, Song Chengjian instructed the three of them, "Safety first. Just do your best, no need to push yourself..."
The three younger brothers nodded, found two monks, and together they opened the temple door a crack...
The strong winds almost sucked them away.
The other monks, hearing Song Chengjian's orderly arrangements, all came over, showing their initiative.
"Benefactor Song, may I ask what we can do for you?"
Song Chengjian turned to look at them, and without much restraint, directly stated his plans.
"The hall is too high; if the roof were to be blown away, a strong wind would..."
No matter which direction a Buddha statue tilts from, it is likely to be severely damaged...
