“If this relic is indeed taken away, perhaps it is fate. Junior brother, there is no need to worry so much. This is perhaps something that a small Buddhist temple should experience,” the abbot said with a smile.
The monk Wuwei looked at his senior abbot with a puzzled expression, not understanding why his senior abbot would do this.
The abbot then told Wuwei to remove the disciples from the punishment hall he had previously arranged, and to proceed with everything as usual during the Buddhist festival.
If the Qingzhu Relic can truly disappear right under the noses of so many monks this time, it means that the Qingzhu Relic and the small Buddhist temple have lost their connection.
Moreover, the Qingzhu Relic has a unique function, and no matter who it falls into, it will only benefit them.
If the Azure Lord's relic can save a life, that would be a meritorious deed.
"Senior brother!" Wuwei couldn't help but speak up.
"Alright, you may step back now. Everything is preordained. We just need to go with the flow and accept our destiny!"
With no other choice, Wuwei had to leave the abbot's place.
However, after he left, he did not listen to the abbot's words and did not remove the disciples he had arranged to guard the Qingzhu Relic.
Instead, he ordered all the monks to be on high alert and absolutely not allow anyone to cause trouble at the Buddhist assembly in the small temple!
The small Buddhist temple has resumed operations thanks to the note delivered by Sun Yuanjie.
If you pay close attention, you will notice that this year's patrol of the Little Buddhist Temple is much more grand than in previous years.
Xiao Feng and his companions were unaware of all this.
Sun Yuanjie had only gone to deliver a note and returned to the inn early on.
Since he said he had things to do during the Buddhist festival, he naturally couldn't stay at the inn any longer.
If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.
To avoid arousing Xiao Feng's suspicion, Sun Yuanjie wrote another letter and left it in Xiao Feng's room.
He told Xiao Feng that he needed to search for something in the vicinity in the next few days.
They'll come back once the item is found.
If Xiao Feng and his companions were to leave after obtaining the Azure Lord's relic, Xiao Feng could send them a telepathic message.
Or perhaps I could return to the Ming Cult first and wait for Xiao Feng and the others to go back.
When Xiao Feng returned, he saw the letter left by Sun Yuanjie.
At this moment, Xiao Feng looked at the contents of the letter with a cold smile on his lips.
The mad monk standing next to Xiao Feng naturally also saw the contents of the letter.
The mad monk blurted out, "Haha, interesting, truly interesting!"
Xiao Feng ignored the mad monk's sudden sarcastic remarks, carefully put the letter away, and placed it in his storage bag.
Whether Sun Yuanjie returns or not, or whether he participates in the theft of the Qingzhu relic, is not important to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng didn't believe that the senior disciple of the prestigious Tianyi Sect would willingly stay by his side as an ordinary servant, A-Jie.
"Tomorrow is the first day of the Buddhist festival. Do you remember which places I took you to today?" After returning to the room, the mad monk asked Xiao Feng with a grin.
Xiao Feng nodded.
Today, the mad monk took Xiao Feng to several key locations where he could escape after obtaining the Azure Lord's relic.
It can be said that the mad monk had already planned out all of Xiao Feng's escape routes.
Now, all that's needed for Xiao Feng to successfully obtain the Green Master's Relic during the upcoming Buddhist festival is for everything to end.
The next day, Xiao Feng got up early and, together with the mad monk who had cleaned himself up, went to find the owner of the steamed bun shop.
With the arrival of the Buddhist festival, many monks have appeared in the town as Buddhist ceremonies begin.
So when Xiao Feng appeared before the boss with the mad monk.
The shopkeeper didn't recognize that the handsome young monk with a smile in his eyes was the same mad monk that everyone in the town hated.
The boss even gave the other party a very standard Buddhist salute.
"Young master, you've arrived very early. The Buddhist assembly is about to begin. Shall we go now?" The steamed bun shop owner looked at Xiao Feng.
“Let’s go there now. I’ve only heard that the Little Buddhist Temple is majestic and solemn, but I’ve never been inside before. Today, thanks to the boss, I’m also able to receive the blessing of the Azure Lord’s Relic,” Xiao Feng said with a smile.
"Not at all, it was just a small favor," the steamed bun shop owner said, waving his hand sheepishly.
The group chatted as they made their way to the Buddhist assembly.
The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the small Buddhist temple.
The small Buddhist temple looks very large.
If one is unfamiliar with the area, they might easily get lost inside the small Buddhist temple.
It would probably take three or four hours to walk around all of this place.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng doesn't have to worry about these things today.
Due to the special circumstances today, the small Buddhist temple is unusually crowded.
Everywhere you look, you can see the town's residents, as well as other monks who have come from afar, and the monks from the small Buddhist temple.
Some monks were patrolling for safety, while others were responsible for guiding and managing the flow of people.
The reason Xiao Feng asked the steamed bun shop owner to come with him was because he didn't know much about the Little Buddhist Temple, and it was his first time visiting it.
But now there's a mad monk, and he's more familiar with the small Buddhist temple than the steamed bun shop owner.
At this point, the boss's role becomes less important.
Xiao Feng exchanged a few words with him and then sent him away to another place, saying that he would be better off wandering around.
The boss happened to have his own things to do, and after confirming that Xiao Feng didn't need his company, the boss naturally went to pray to Buddha.
Xiao Feng followed beside the mad monk.
The mad monk somehow acquired a set of clothes identical to those of the monks at the small Buddhist temple, changed into them, and walked among the crowd, which actually gave him a somewhat conspicuous appearance.
"Monk, are you sure we won't be discovered? Where exactly is the Azure Master's relic kept? Is it easy to steal?" Xiao Feng asked, following the mad monk.
"I'll take you to the stupa inlaid with the Azure Lord's relics now. You'll know when we get there." The mad monk spoke mysteriously, without explaining anything.
Xiao Feng could only follow behind the mad monk.
Fortunately, there were also many ordinary people and cultivators who wanted to admire the splendor of the Azure Lord's Relic, so Xiao Feng and his group did not appear particularly out of place.
The stupa containing the relics of the Blue Lord is located deep within the small Buddhist temple.
Most of the people who come to the Buddhist assembly first listen to lectures by eminent monks in the front courtyard.
Then we toured the small Buddhist temple little by little before finally visiting the stupa where the relics of the Blue Lord are enshrined.
This resulted in Xiao Feng and his companions having people traveling alongside them, but the number of people was not very large.
After the mad monk secretly led Xiao Feng to the pagoda where the Azure Lord's relic was kept, Xiao Feng finally understood why the mad monk hadn't told him about the Azure Lord's relic.
"You mean, the one placed at the top of the tower that constantly absorbs the essence of the sun and moon and emits a gentle glow is the Azure Lord's Relic that I'm looking for?" Xiao Feng asked in shock.
“That’s right. If it weren’t for absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, the Azure Lord’s Relic wouldn’t have such an enviable effect. I’ve brought you here, now it’s up to you to make your move.”
"Once you miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to get into the small Buddhist temple again."
