Chapter 202
202 After leaving Ping'an Temple, they headed eastwards. Exhausted, Monk Nengren and his fellow disciples ran towards the county town.
The appearance of the six monks caused all the staff of Baofo Temple to come out, and the monks who came to welcome them lined up all the way to the city gate. This situation was not expected by Monk Nengren and others, so much so that when they saw Master Kong, a strange smell filled the streets of half of the county.
Only Master Lekong and Nengren and a few others knew the reason. After welcoming them to Baofo Temple, the abbot who had nearly fallen into their hands a few days ago knew about it. He was already sitting in the main hall at this time. He kept silent about what had happened before, and sent the monks away with a smile.
"Did the old Taoist priest say anything?"
"Do you still want to take the monk back to the Galan Temple?"
He opened his mouth as if to make fun of Nengren and others. It was very comfortable sitting under the Buddha statue. How could Liaoran give up such an opportunity? Although monks pay attention to the purity of the six senses, they will not always be free of resentment. It mainly depends on who is sitting opposite them.
That night, he was chased quite badly by Monk Nengren and others. Now these people were sitting in front of him without anything happening. It was obvious at a glance that they were frustrated in Ping'an Temple. Appearance reflects the heart. Just looking at him, the faces of these monks from the Galan Temple were not looking good.
We are all Buddhists, so everyone should give face to each other.
"You and I are from the same clan. Since Abbot Le Ran disagrees, why would our Galan Temple force him to do so?"
It's natural to say polite words.
He had made plans before entering the county town, thinking that Lanran would not dare to do anything to him, he could just pass it over when the monk Nengren spoke. He saw Kong frowning beside him, so he glanced at him a few times and ignored him.
Even though they are now in Baofo Temple, he and his fellow disciples have the capital to be fearless.
"I wonder what the Galan Temple invited my brother to do? Since you are here today, please tell me clearly."
Because Liangran wanted to accept the attitude, but he was still angry. His temperament was more angular than that of the abbot next to him. Zen Master Liangkong asked from the side.
When my senior brother came back that day, his face was as thin as paper. It was the second time I saw him like this in all these years.
The first time was because he smashed the master’s Buddhist beads. The old monk had not yet severed his worldly ties, and the Buddhist beads in his hand were said to have been given to him by an old lover.
The true situation was not known in the end, but after the two of them started fighting, the senior brother was beaten badly by the old monk.
At that time, he was only at the third level of cultivation and in the Vajra realm. He was hung on a tree and beaten like a monkey by his master. If it were not for the abbot who advised him a few words, this disciple who was known as the disciple with the closest affinity with Buddha in the past hundred years of Baofo Temple would probably have died that night.
The second time was this time. After returning to Baofo Temple, my senior brother spat out blood in front of me.
As a junior fellow apprentice, I absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior from Galan Temple. Even Bodhisattvas have temper, let alone myself who has been in the world for a long time.
"Amitabha, I feel guilty, I invited Abbot Le Ran to be my successor, but my approach was a bit hasty."
Seeing that Master Lekong wanted to attack him, Monk Nengren did not look at him and tried his best to suppress his temper. His temper was no better than Master Lekong's. If he followed his true thoughts, he would definitely continue to ask for Leran's help.
Zen Master Liaokong emphasized the word "invite" very much. The monk was angry in his heart. As a monk, his nature is not pure.
"Do you dare to swear in front of the Buddha?"
They thought Kong would attack them further after they finished speaking, but they saw him suddenly stand up from the cushion. Monk Nengren and others raised their heads at the same time, only to see Kong pointing at the Buddha statue in the main hall, and his tone became as cold as ice.
A monk actually pointed directly at the Buddha. Where did he learn this way of speaking? This is extremely disrespectful.
"Don't be rude, Liaokong!"
His thoughts were blocked by Lekong's sudden action. Seeing that his junior brother was in a bad state, Leran interrupted him immediately.
This monk should be aware of his identity in front of everyone, and he said that the injuries on his body had nothing to do with his ability to endure.
The main thing is that I didn't tell him what happened later. During the past few days of recuperation, I didn't mention this matter again. I have been recuperating in the back room until Monk Nengren and others came to the city today, and then I finally came to my senses.
Why swear in front of the Buddha? This is tantamount to bringing shame to the Baofo Temple, which is neither fish nor fowl.
"Why not?"
He agreed readily. As soon as Le Ran finished speaking, Neng Ren, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help laughing. He looked at the Buddha statue in the hall and nodded slightly. The black bead appeared above his head again.
The six beads were emitting a faint glow. Although not as bright as the lights in the main hall, they were enough to illuminate Kong's changing expression.
After being stunned for a while, he wanted to speak, but found that his lips had become dry without him knowing.
"The Sea-Suppressing Pearl? It's actually in the Jialan Temple!"
"In front of the Buddha, it can't be fake."
The light of the Zhenhai Pearl on his head became smaller and smaller, just like when he was in Ping'an Temple. Monk Nengren said:
"Since you two are both Buddhists, why are you not willing to do your part to find the Buddha? If Taoism gains power, it will not be a good thing for monks all over the world!"
"Buddha?"
When he heard what Monk Nengren said, his expression became excited. Although he could not tell whether the Zhenhai Pearls on the monks' heads were real or fake, Zen Master Liaokong still obeyed.

There is no need to say much about the relationship between Zhenhaizhu and Buddha. This time, the Galan Temple made a big move.
The twenty-four sea-suppressing pearls are all in the Galan Temple?
"Our Kalayana Temple was taught by the Buddha himself. Over the years, we have not just been enjoying the blessings he left behind."
After dealing with Master Kong and leaking information to Baofo Temple, Monk Nengren achieved the purpose of this trip.
The Buddha was not invisible, and during the years of his disappearance, certain temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty needed to be knocked on.
…
"Those six beads are the Sea-Suppressing Pearls?"
After returning to peace and seeing An Wensheng off, Xiang Jiannan could hardly suppress his emotions as he listened to the old Taoist priest slowly speak.
Compared with the small yellow flags obtained before, the six Zhenhai Pearls are genuine goods. Is there really such a thing in the Great Zhou Dynasty? If we continue to infer this, do they also have many extraordinary magic weapons in the Taoist sect?
Suddenly I felt that the world I live in is crazy, and my little knowledge is not worthy of being put on the table.
"It is considered a treasure of Buddhism."
Seeing that Xiang Jiannan's reaction was greater than Wang Yihang's, Gao Yuan calmed down and continued:
"It is rumored that the Kalam Temple was founded by the Buddha himself. It is normal to think that there is a sea-suppressing pearl hidden in the temple."
"Is there something else?"
“Is the Buddha named Tathagata?”
"Buddha is Buddha, without name or surname."
What he said was different from what Xiang Jiannan thought, and Gao Yuan said affirmatively, which made Xiang Jiannan think about it. Then he asked, "Why did the monk Neng Ren bring the Zhenhai Pearl to our Ping An Temple? It can't be to show off, right?"
"Of course, such treasures will not be taken out easily. After all, all cultivators in this world have selfish motives."
Turning his head and seeing Wang and his party listening attentively, Gao Yuan suddenly laughed arrogantly and said, "In my opinion, they are afraid, so they bring the Zhenhai Pearl for precaution. After all, cultivators like the old Taoist priest are rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
