Chapter 87 Lingfozhu has a bad temper
When we arrived at the inner hall of Fahua Temple, a monk with a white beard was already waiting.
Xiao Zirui immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Are you Master Jingyuan?"
The old monk clasped his hands together and said:
"I am Jinghui, the abbot of this temple. Abbot Jingyuan is my senior fellow monk. He is traveling and cannot meet you in person. I hope you will forgive me."
Xiao Zirui's expression paused slightly:
"What? The abbot is not here? Then... did he leave the spiritual Buddha beads in the temple?"
Master Jinghui shook his head slightly:
"To be honest, Your Highness, the sacred Buddhist beads were lost half a year ago and are no longer in the temple. However..."
"What!"
Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian were shocked and shouted out in unison without waiting for Master Jinghui to finish speaking.
"How could you be so careless? How could you not take good care of something so important and actually lose it?"
Yun Bailian climbed the mountain until her leg broke, and her only thought was to get the spiritual Buddha beads as soon as possible. When she heard that the things were lost, she immediately lost her mind and scolded angrily.
Master Jinghui's face darkened:
"Brother has already explained that the spiritual Buddha beads have their own destiny, and their coming and going are not up to us! Besides, the loss of the Buddha beads is an internal matter of our Fahua Temple. It seems that the Crown Princess has no right to interfere, right?"
Yun Bailian was choked and blushed. She gritted her teeth and argued:
"What do you know? Those Buddhist beads are related to the country and the people, so they should belong to the royal family! Could it be that your abbot lost the beads and is afraid of being held accountable, so he used the excuse of wandering to hide away?"
Jinghui's face was filled with anger, and he said coldly:
"Amitabha! The Crown Princess said this, is she going to punish my Fahua Temple?"
Yun Bailian thought the other party was scared, and was about to speak with a smug look on her face.
"Enough!" Xiao Zirui glared at her fiercely and interrupted her.
There are a lot of believers in Fahua Temple, and the abbot, Master Jingxin, is highly respected. Even the emperor has to give him some face. Yun Bailian's attitude is simply ignorant of his own limitations.
He quickly clasped his fists and said politely to Jinghui:
"Master Jinghui, please don't misunderstand me. The Crown Princess is also concerned about the country. She was a little anxious when she heard that the Jinling Buddha beads were lost. I hope Master can bear with me."
Jinghui snorted coldly:
"The Lingfozhu is not in this temple. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, please return!"
Xiao Zirui's face froze.
It took him most of the day to get here, and he obviously couldn't accept this result, but the spiritual Buddha beads had been lost, and he had no other choice, so he immediately became annoyed.
At this moment, Yun Qingqing reached into her sleeve and secretly took out a string of Buddhist beads from the space.
She took the Buddhist beads and walked forward slowly and said:
"Master Jinghui, the string of spiritual Buddha beads you mentioned as lost, is it this one?"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on her.
Yun Bailian was feeling angry because she had worked so hard but had made a wasted trip and was scolded by the prince. Unexpectedly, Yun Qingqing suddenly took out a string of Buddhist beads and said that they were the spiritual Buddhist beads.
She immediately sneered:
"I don't know where I picked up this string of broken beads, and you have the nerve to show it to others and embarrass yourself!"
However, just as she finished speaking, Jinghui rushed over to take the beads, eyes wide with surprise, and said:
"Exactly! This is the Lingfozhu. Brother left a message before he left saying someone would bring it back today. It turned out to be true!"
Yun Bailian's face turned red and white, and she stood there awkwardly.
"It's fake...it's fake! Look carefully!" she cried unwillingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual Buddhist beads suddenly shook and almost slipped out of Jinghui's hand.
Jinghui quickly grabbed it and looked at Yun Bailian unhappily and said:
"Princess, be careful with your words! This Buddha Bead has a bad temper and is most annoyed when people say bad things about it!"
Yun Bailian widened her eyes and was completely speechless.
Xiao Zirui took a breath and looked at Yun Qingqing in shock. How could the spiritual Buddha beads be in her hands!
But he immediately reacted, smiled and said to Master Jinghui:
"Now that the sacred Buddha beads have been found, could you please hand them over to me? I am willing to donate ten thousand taels of gold and incense money to the Fahua Temple."
Jinghui was originally holding the spiritual Buddha beads with a smile on his face, but upon hearing this, his expression returned to a cold state, and he said in a calm voice:
"The abbot said that the spiritual Buddha beads have their own destiny. Since this donor sent it back today, it means that she is the one who is destined to receive the spiritual Buddha beads."
Having said that, he handed the spiritual Buddha beads back to Yun Qingqing, clasped his hands together and said:
"The abbot's message has been delivered. Please accept these sacred Buddha beads."
"In that case, I won't be polite." Yun Qingqing said with a smile, "If Master Jingyuan returns someday, I will definitely come to visit."
"No! This is against the rules! Why should we give it to her directly?" Yun Bailian suddenly screamed, "Isn't it said that this spiritual Buddha bead has become spiritual after being enshrined for thousands of years? Then it should be allowed to choose its own owner!"
