When everyone walked into the house in fear, they were stunned.
On the ground, Monk Wuzhen was kneeling with his face swollen like a pig's head. The key point was that there were two Buddhist beads under his knees, which kept spinning.
Monk Wuzhen was kneeling on the Buddhist beads, his body twisting and turning, and suddenly he fell to the ground. He quickly got up screaming and continued to kneel.
"Don't you remember? Don't you remember?!"
“Several times, several times!”
Pah, another slap hit Monk Wuzhen's face. The slap was so crisp that Monk Wuzhen fell to the ground. But he quickly got up and smiled flatteringly at Jiangshan.
…
The abbot, Shi Wujian, and Monk Tianzhen were all dumbfounded.
Is this... acrobatics or dog training?
"Hey, everyone's here."
When Jiangshan saw the three people coming, he didn't even stand up, but waved his hand and chuckled and said, but Jiangshan's words made Monk Wuzhen tremble all over.
Afterwards, he turned his head involuntarily. When he saw the abbot, his eyes suddenly turned red and he cried in grievance, with tears streaming down his face.
“Abbot…Abbot!”
Pop.
Before he finished his words, Jiang Shan slapped him in the face again, and this slap directly brought back the guy's tears and grievances.
"What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about?"
Jiangshan then let out a low shout, and Monk Wuzhen's eyes quickly filled with fear. He quickly straightened his body and knelt with two Buddhist beads.
"Master Jiang... I wonder how Wu Zhen offended you to make you so angry?"
Shi Wujian's face darkened slightly, and he spoke softly to Jiangshan.
As soon as these words were spoken, the abbot standing beside him suddenly changed his expression. The dignified Shi Wujian, a terrifying giant in the Void Refinement Realm, how could he be polite to an ordinary teenager?
Moreover, under such circumstances, it is almost impossible.
"Master, let him speak for himself."
As he spoke, Jiangshan patted Monk Wuzhen's face again.
"Tell me, if you tell a lie I'll pull out your tongue."
Jiangshan's words made Monk Wuzhen's face change suddenly. He nodded quickly and then talked about everything he had done from yesterday to just now.
When Monk Wuzhen finished speaking, not only Jiangshan, but even the abbot and Shi Wujian's expressions changed, with fire in their eyes.
"Evil creature, evil creature!"
"Insulting Buddhism is simply outrageous!"
The abbot was extremely excited and started cursing. If it weren't for his status, he probably wouldn't have retracted his raised foot.
"Masters, what do you think? Since I can accept such a person as my disciple, should I consider returning to secular life?"
Monk Tianzhen also spoke coldly, and with just one sentence, the abbot and Shi Wujian's expressions completely changed.
Because of Wu Zhen, a dignified Buddhist disciple returned to secular life?
If this gets out, Shaolin Temple will be finished, and the two of them will become eternal sinners. I wonder how many fellow disciples will curse them.
"Take Wuzhen to the Law Enforcement Hall and punish him severely!"
Shi Wujian shouted in a low voice, and several monks walked in from outside the door and carried Wuzhen out.
"I'm finally free, free!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Wu Zhen, who was carried out, was not at all panicked. Instead, his face was full of excitement. He finally escaped from Jiangshan's clutches. He could not hide his inner joy.
"Buddhist disciple, this person's crimes are extremely heinous and unforgivable. Shaolin Temple will never tolerate them. Please do not think of returning to secular life."
Shi Wujian quickly spoke to Monk Tianzhen in a serious tone.
"Tian Zhen, you and the abbot should go out for a while. I want to talk to Master Shi Wujian."
Seeing this scene, Jiangshan waved to Monk Tianzhen and said.
All three of them were stunned.
Turn around for a while?
"Take the Buddhist disciples to the Sutra Library for a look. If they need anything, I will do my best to help them."
Shi Wujian seemed to understand what Jiangshan meant, and whispered to the abbot beside him. The abbot nodded, and then asked Monk Tianzhen to leave.
"Master Jiang, if you have something to say, just say it."
Shi Wujian spoke to Jiangshan with a calm expression.
"It's useless to force him like this. Although he now possesses the spiritual power of Buddhism, he has no desire for Buddhism. If you force him, you will only push him onto another path."
Jiangshan's expression also became serious.
"Young Master Jiang."
"Tian Zhen is a disciple of our Buddhist sect. The responsibility he bears is too great, and the implications are too great. No matter what, we must keep him."
"Perhaps, my words are a bit harsh, but Master Jiang, you must understand the importance of Buddhist disciples to us."
Shi Wujian said again.
Jiangshan nodded. Tian Zhen was indeed very important, but if they forced her like that, it would be impossible for her to develop any interest in Buddhism.
"I told you, it's useless to force it like this."
“It’s better to retreat than to advance!”
Jiangshan finally said four words, and these four words left Shi Wujian stunned.
“It’s very simple.”
"What he can't let go of right now are his wife, daughter, and parents. To be fair, 90% of the people in this world can't let go either."
"He's just a monk who left Buddhism halfway through his life. You can't expect him to be like you. You've been enlightened by Buddhism since childhood, but he came from the world of pleasure."
"If you want him to sincerely convert, then there is only one way: to take a step back in order to advance, so that he can have a daughter and a wife as a layperson."
Lay people, also known as lay Buddhists, are also considered Buddhist disciples, but they can get married and have children.
"impossible!"
"How can a dignified Buddhist be a layperson? This is impossible."
When Shi Wujian heard this, he quickly waved his hands.
If this is really agreed, people will laugh their heads off when the news gets out.
"You are corrupt!"
Jiangshan shook his head and smiled faintly.
"Even the Buddha Shakyamuni gave birth to children before becoming a monk and attaining Buddhahood. Why can't naivety work?"
"Of all matters concerning family, country, and the world, this family comes first. Without family, how can there be a country? Without family, what can you use to discuss faith with others?"
"If you allow me, I promise that when my daughter Tian Zhen grows up, Tian Zhen will return to Jiuhua Mountain to practice meditation and never return to the mundane world again."
"And now, he's busy in the secular world. In your words, isn't he also tempering his Buddha heart?"
"Even the Sixth Patriarch traveled on foot through famous mountains and rivers, educating the people and understanding the teachings along the way. Tian Zhen's current worldly experiences are the same."
"It's no use forcing me, it's better to let me go."
"Let him realize the Dharma on his own. You should trust him and believe in the Sixth Patriarch's choice. When he realizes it on his own, I believe a new Patriarch will naturally be born!"
Jiangshan said lightly.
