Chapter 345 The Competition Begins

After a while, the sun was high in the sky.

The sun was shining on the main hall of Hanshan Temple, adding a touch of righteousness to the solemnity.

The arena in front of the hall was crowded with people.

Many people in Jinling City came here to watch the competition when they had nothing to do.

This also makes the usually quiet Hanshan Temple more worldly.

The monks from all walks of life were rubbing their hands in the audience, eager to try.

Everyone wants to win this competition and become the abbot of Hanshan Temple.

"Wow, so many people came..."

Wang Ye sat on the eaves of the pagoda in the temple, looking at the dense crowd below, and said: "It is said that these monks don't know how to run a business..."

"What a great opportunity to make money, just wasted like this!"

"If I were in charge, I would set up an accounting office at the door and charge one or two taels of silver for entry to watch the competition."

"There's no one in the side hall, so let the vendors set up stalls here. I can charge them three taels of silver a day for their stalls. That's a lot of income in a day!"

As he spoke, Wang Ye's face was full of regret.

After hearing what Wang Ye said, Aji on the side rolled his eyes.

He looked at Wang Ye and said, "Old money-grubber, I've finally discovered that you are a fucking money-grubber!"

"This Hanshan Temple is a truly peaceful place for Buddhism..."

"If we follow your method, what's the difference between this and teahouses like Songfenglou?"

"You little brat..."

After hearing Aji's words, Wang Ye was about to say something.

"You two should both shut up!"

At this time, Bai Luhan on the side said: "Especially you, the old money-grubber..."

"It would be fine if he took advantage of other people's loopholes to set up a stall at the door, but he also made several old monks tremble with anger at the door."

"Now you are sitting on a pagoda that enshrines the relics of a great monk to watch the competition, and you dare to make loud noises..."

"Do you really want to offend Hanshan Temple to death?"

Bai Luhan's words were full of questions.

After hearing Bai Luhan's words, Wang Ye was about to say something.

But at this moment, a noise was heard.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Master Chen slowly walking up to the stage.

Perhaps because of the importance of the competition, Zen Master Liaochen was wearing a cassock and a Dharma crown at this time.

He holds a staff in his hand, which is shining with gold and quite eye-catching.

At first glance, he looks like a great monk.

"Good fellow..."

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye said in surprise: "This monk Liaochen really spent a lot of money..."

"He even wore the clothes he wore when he passed away..."

"Old miser, stop talking..."

Hearing what Wang Ye said, Aji rolled his eyes: "As soon as you opened your mouth, you exposed your ignorant nature..."

"This is a robe, which is worn by senior monks in important events..."

"Do you think this monk wears this as his burial clothes?"

"Don't say..."

Seeing this scene, Chen Chong on the side said: "This dress is not bad"

"When Zen Master Liaochen puts this on, he really looks a bit like Tang Sanzang..."

As Chen Chong spoke, Zen Master Liaochen slowly came to the center of the ring.

He placed one palm in front of his chest and chanted the Buddha's name softly: "Amitabha, I am grateful to you for looking up to me and allowing me to participate in the martial arts competition at Hanshan Temple!"

"You are all fellow Zen practitioners, and you must know that my Hanshan Temple has always only practiced Zen, not martial arts!"

"The martial arts world is turbulent. People from the martial arts world often enter our Hanshan Temple and disturb the rest of the temple's ancestors. As a younger generation, Liaochen is powerless to do anything!"

"So, I have learned from my mistakes and decided to practice both Zen and martial arts to protect the tranquility of our temple. The winner of this martial arts competition will become the abbot of Hanshan Temple!"

"To ensure fairness, I will ask my two junior brothers, Liaofan and Liaochen, to be witnesses!"

As soon as these words were spoken, two monks nearby stood up and clasped their hands in greeting.

The moment these two people stood up in a friendly manner, Wang Ye and others felt something move.

The reason was simple. These two people, Lefan and Lechen, were the old monks who were trembling with anger just now by Wang Ye.

"My goodness, Lao Cai Mini is really ruthless..."

Seeing this scene, Aji on the side said: "It's not to offend, but to offend all the brothers and sisters..."

"That's because these three masters don't know martial arts..."

"Otherwise I'll have to convert you!"

“Get out, get out!”

After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye raised his hand and slapped him: "Shut up and watch carefully, don't bother me!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After being slapped by Wang Ye, Aji rolled his eyes and looked towards the audience.

"Okay, enough of the small talk..."

At this time, Master Liaochen continued, "Since Hanshan Temple does not practice martial arts, no one can be the champion this time..."

"Fortunately, the Buddha is merciful. Master Bupo of the Vajra Zen Sect saw our predicament and took the initiative to serve as the champion for my Hanshan Temple!"

"As long as you defeat him, you will become the champion!"

"After you become the champion, others can continue to challenge you. Whoever becomes the champion at nightfall will be the new abbot of Hanshan Temple!"

As Zen Master Liaochen spoke, a figure leaped up and landed on the stage.

At first glance, it was Monk Bupo!

???

Seeing this, Wang Ye and others were stunned.

Although they knew that Monk Bupo never played by the rules.

But they didn't expect that he would play so wildly!

This monk Bupo actually represented Hanshan Temple as the champion! "Amitabha!"

Just when Wang Ye and others were shocked, Monk Bupo chanted the Buddha's name softly.

He placed one hand on his chest and said, "Everyone, I am Bupo, the only successor of the Vajra Zen Sect..."

"You are all Buddhists, and you all know that our Vajra Zen sect has always been passed down from one line to another."

"Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to promote the Vajra Zen Sect, and represent Hanshan Temple to become the champion."

"I hope that fellow practitioners will give me some advice so that we can have a fair competition!"

Ugh! After hearing what Monk Bupo said, Wang Ye and the others all pretended to vomit.

What Monk Bupo said was quite respectable.

But Wang Ye and the others didn't believe it at all.

It was because of this monk Bu Po who was making poison and poison and he used his junior brother to take the blame when they had a disagreement.

If he wants to fight in an open and honest way, that would be a miracle! "This is great..."

Seeing this, Wang Ye said: "I originally thought that Monk Bu Po would come on stage as a challenger..."

"I didn't expect him to be the champion..."

"Now everyone has to fight him..."

"If I were the monks in the audience, I would rather not fight with Monk Bupo than compete for the host position!"

"It's fine if I can't win, but if he accepts me as his junior brother, that would be the worst misfortune of my life!"

As soon as these words came out, Aji and others on the side nodded.

Just as they nodded, a monk took out a pot of medicine and drank it all.

He leaped onto the stage, looked at Monk Bupo and said, "Hongyun Temple Wuding, I would like to ask you for your advice!"

Hongyun Temple! ?

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
