Chapter 49: Lin Ye preaches, Dao Hai is enlightened
Martial Academy!
When Lin Ye arrived, he saw many monks gathered at the gate. Of course, most of them were young novices. The monks with a little status had already entered the courtyard.
Although Lin Ye was a lay disciple, he was willing to spend money. The three main halls for the future expansion of Miaoying Temple were sponsored by him. When he walked past the little monks and entered the courtyard gate, no monks stopped him and some of them even took the initiative to give way to him.
In the yard, Dao Hai was kneeling there, and next to him lay a tiger. The tiger's head was covered in blood, and there were many bloodstains on its fur.
"A monk fighting a tiger?"
Lin Ye couldn't help but mutter, did Daohai kill a tiger after leaving the temple?
But even so, there is no need to be punished.
Killing tigers is a good thing. Aren’t those who do this all heroes ?
"Brother Daoyan, did Brother Daohai kill the tiger?" Lin Ye asked in a low voice to a monk of the Dao generation beside him.
"Yes, it was wrong for Junior Brother Daohai to disobey the abbot's order and leave the temple without permission. He even killed a tiger. This is a big mistake."
"Why is it a big mistake to kill a tiger? Tigers eat people. Shouldn't what Brother Dao Hai did be praised?"
"This is not an ordinary tiger. It is the descendant of the mountain king on Shuangmu Mountain. Daohai killed it, so how could the mountain king let it go?"
Tiger!
Lin Ye was not unfamiliar with this word, it referred to the tiger.
Ordinary tigers cannot be called tiger kings. Only those tigers that have cultivated themselves into spirits can be called tiger kings.
Before the tiger practiced cultivation and became a spirit, it was already the king of the forest. After practicing cultivation, its strength became even more extraordinary. When it reached the level of mountain king, its magical powers were even more extraordinary.
"Daohai, do you know how big a mistake you have made, and how much trouble you will bring to our temple?"
At the very top, Master Yinxian, Master Yinguang, and Master Yinneng all stood there with sullen faces. The one who spoke was Master Yinneng, the elder of the Martial Monks Academy.
"Master, when I was passing Shuangmu Mountain, a caravan was attacked by this beast. If I didn't take action, the caravan would have been killed by this beast. Should I just stand by and watch?"
Dao Hai was very unconvinced. In his opinion, he did nothing wrong. He was saving people.
"This tiger hurt people, you could just chase it away, why beat it to death?" Master Yinxian sighed.
"I just wanted to save the people at first, but when this beast saw me taking action, he became extremely arrogant and said that if I dared to stop him today , he would go down the mountain and eat more people. How could I allow him to do evil? I just saved him."
Lin Ye's mouth twitched when he heard Dao Hai's words. He could probably imagine the scene.
The tiger took advantage of the fact that he was the descendant of a mountain lion and thought Daohai wouldn't dare to do anything to him, so he threatened Daohai with his own death. But who is Daohai? How could he be spoiled by you? If you want to die, I'll let you die.
However, Daohai did one thing wrong. How could he bring the person back to the temple after beating him to death? He should have destroyed the body.
This is indeed something that needs criticism and reflection.
"Do you know how powerful the mountain king of Shuangmu Mountain is? He was already a mountain king long before our master built the temple. Over the past hundred years, his strength has become unfathomable. If the mountain king gets angry, you evil creature, our Miaoying Temple will be destroyed because of you."
Master Yin Neng was furious. Dao Hai stiffened his neck and said, "Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If the mountain king wants to punish you, I will let you pay with your life."
"You...you...you think that you can just pay with your life? You..."
"Junior brother!"
Master Yin Guang who was standing in the middle couldn't bear to watch it anymore. You two masters and disciples are acting here. Do you really think I can't see it?
If Daohai hadn't received your hint, with his intelligence, he would have been able to bring the tiger back to the temple. When Daohai arrived, you, as their master, immediately summoned all the monks in the temple. It seemed that you were criticizing Daohai in front of so many monks, but in fact, you were protecting Daohai.
The junior fellow was afraid that he would have to sacrifice Daohai to appease the mountain lion's anger for the sake of the temple as a whole. If this happened, all the monks in the temple would know about it. Daohai killed the mountain lion's descendants in order to save people. If he sacrificed Daohai, wouldn't people's hearts be scattered?
Junior brother has focused all his attention on this, no wonder his cultivation level is getting worse and worse.
"Dao Hai saved people and killed the tiger, there is nothing wrong with that. If the mountain king of Shuangmu Mountain wants to blame me for this, my Miaoying Temple, a century-old treasure temple, will not be afraid of it."
When Master Yin Guang said this, the monks inside and outside the courtyard were very excited, while Master Yin Xian on the side opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.
"Everyone go away. Junior brother, you lead the monks to pay more attention to the surroundings of the temple."
The monks were asked to leave, and soon, apart from Yin Guang and the other two leaders, only Dao Hai and Lin Ye, who were kneeling on the ground, were left in the yard.
"You evil creature, kneel down here and repent."
Master Yinneng snorted, but this time Yin Guang did not dissuade him. He thought that since his junior brother liked to act, he let him continue.
However, the matter of the tiger was of great importance, so they still had to discuss it.
The three bosses left together. Lin Ye looked at Dao Hai, who was kneeling on the ground but still looked unconvinced, and said with a smile: "Master Dao Hai, judging from your expression, you are dissatisfied with the punishment imposed by the abbot and the others."
"The abbot cannot be wrong."
Lin Ye smiled. Seeing what he said, he was still not convinced.
"Actually, you are really wrong this time."
"Master Lin said I was wrong, so please tell me where I was wrong. Should I just stand by and watch this beast eat people?"
Daohai didn't dare to talk back to Master Yin Guang and his three fellow disciples, but he was not polite to him and gave him a cold look.
Lin Ye didn't care about Dao Hai's attitude and asked, "Of course you did nothing wrong in beating the beast to death. Let me ask you, when you saved him, did you tell him your name?"
"That's natural, what's wrong with that?"
"This is a big mistake. When you reported your taboo, those passing merchants must have heard it. When the mountain king found out that his descendants were killed, he would definitely investigate. When he asked those passing merchants, he would know that it was you who killed his descendants. Do you agree with this?"
"After I saved them, the merchants promised me again and again that they would keep the matter secret for me."
"Bullshit, if I could really keep it secret for you, do you think Master Yin Neng would need to summon all the monks in the temple? Have you told Master Yin Neng about this situation?"
"Yes."
"That's it. The reason why Master Yin Neng summoned so many monks is because he knows that this matter cannot be concealed. When the mountain king threatens with his life, do you think these merchants can still hold on to the secret? Even if these people can hold on to the secret, the mountain king can still use the art of bewitching to find out your identity."
Although Dao Hai didn't want to admit it, but thinking back, it seemed that the master also asked him if he had a registration number at the beginning. After learning that he had registered, he notified the abbot and others.
"This is where you're wrong. When facing these demons and ghosts with backers, you can kill them, but you have to learn to hide yourself. If you had reported to another temple, wouldn't the mountain king have been unable to find you?"
“Wouldn’t that harm other temples?”
"Are you stupid? Why don't you report a powerful one? Don't you have any powerful temples in Buddhism? Why can't you defeat the mountain king of Shuangmu Mountain?"
"Of course there is, but isn't this deceiving people? Monks don't tell lies."
"You don't know how to adapt. Think about it, if you had done that at the time, then the people would have been saved and the temple would not have been in danger. This is where you are wrong, but this is not the best way."
"Then tell me, what is the best way to do it."
Dao Hai was a little unconvinced. You are just a guy who has just started practicing and can only talk.
Lin Ye smiled and said, “You are still too young. Let me teach you a lesson today.”
"If I were you, I would show up at that time, but I would not attack the beast. I would just praise it and keep praising it. These beasts can't stand praise. Anyway, I would leave a picture of me and the beast having fun in front of these passing merchants."
"You are stronger than it, and you flatter it. This beast will definitely give you face. In this way, you can save the people. Wait until these passing merchants leave, then you can take action... stab it with a knife, chop off its tiger claws, and surprise it."
Michikai: ...
"Remember, be an old... old bitch. Only old bitches can live long."
"Old bastard?"
There was a hint of understanding in Dao Hai's confused eyes. Master Lin's words seemed to have opened up another vast world for him.
"You better understand it. As a reward for my guidance, I will take this tiger away."
Lin Ye was not saying this out of boredom. What he had his eyes on was the tiger on the ground. The tiger's entire body was a treasure. The monks of Miaoying Temple were not allowed to eat it due to precepts, but he had no such taboo.
Carrying the tiger back to his own courtyard, Lin Ye asked Xu Bo to go to the kitchen to ask the monk for a big pot and cook the tiger directly.
After practicing martial arts, Lin Ye had a great demand for meat, and he found that he did not like the delicately cooked meat, but preferred the original flavor.
Boil the large pieces in water and add a little salt or something.
…
…
Master Yin Guang had just discussed with his senior and junior brothers how to deal with the anger of the Double-Eyed Mountain King. He felt a little tired and was about to go back to his room to rest when he smelled the aroma of meat.
"What's going on? Is the meat cooking in the kitchen?"
Abbot Yin Guang frowned. The temple does cook meat, and young monks who have not yet received ordination can eat meat. Children will not grow strong if they do not eat meat.
But in order to avoid misunderstanding among the believers, the kitchen strictly controls the aroma so that the aroma of meat cannot spread too far. It even drifted to the front yard.
Fortunately, it was night and there were no pilgrims at the moment, otherwise the reputation of the temple would be damaged if the news got out.
"Daoyuan, where does this meaty aroma come from?"
"Abbot , the tiger that Senior Brother Daohai brought back was carried away by Young Master Lin, who plucked its hair, skinned it, and put it in a pot. The smell of the meat should have come from Young Master Lin's yard." Daoyuan swallowed as he answered. It smelled so damn good.
Yin Guang: ...
Grass is a plant!
