Chapter 67 This... This is called Tempering the Heart in the Red Dust
"Buddha, bless my daughter-in-law to give birth to a big fat boy."
"Buddha, my son is going out of the courtyard. Please bless him to have a safe journey."
…
The incense of Miaoying Temple is still very popular.
The believers continued to burn incense and worship Buddha as usual, but some old believers were wondering why Abbot Yin Guang had disappeared.
“There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It’s just that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.”
The pagoda forest behind Miaoying Temple!
One hundred and eleven new buildings were built!
Lin Ye looked at Dao Hai, who was kneeling there in a daze, and said something to comfort him.
In the front yard, incense was burning brightly and believers were making wishes with smiles on their faces. Little did they know that Miaoying Temple had experienced a great battle a day ago.
Abbot Yin Guang, elders Yin Xian and Yin Neng burned out their innate Buddha light. Except for Dao Hai, all the 108 monks also burned out their innate Buddha light.
There were footsteps coming from behind the pine forest. Lin Ye turned around and saw it was Daoyuan. He nodded in greeting.
Master Yin Guang had arranged everything. After he left, Daoyuan became the abbot.
"Junior Brother Daohai."
Daoyuan looked at Daohai and whispered, and Daohai turned back in confusion.
"Brother Daoyuan."
Daohai's eyes were red. There had been conflicts between the civil monks and the martial monks in Miaoying Temple. The martial monks looked down on the civil monks who only cared about making money from incense offerings, so the civil monks and the martial monks were not actually close to each other.
Daohai was a martial monk, but now all the martial monks are gone in the entire temple, and the Miaoying Temple in his heart is gone.
"Junior brother, in fact, the abbot had already set up this trap many years ago. The reason why he didn't tell you was because Shuangmu Mountain had planted spies in our temple. The abbot knew your innocent heart and was afraid that the spies would see through you."
Monk Daoyuan sighed and told Daohai and Lin Ye what had happened.
The reason why Shuangmushanjun has been able to pass down for sixteen generations is not only because of his own strong power, but also because of his meticulousness and prudence.
Shan Jun has placed spies in all the major cultivation forces in the surrounding area. His purpose is to be the first to understand the movements of these cultivation forces in order to prevent Shuangmu Mountain from being ambushed.
Miaoying Temple is no exception.
Master Yin Guang maintained a greedy and money-loving nature. In addition to the fact that casting the golden Buddha required a huge amount of incense money, another reason was to paralyze the mountain monster. Otherwise, given the cautiousness of the mountain monster, he would never come to Miaoying Temple in person.
Shuangmu Mountain has been managed by the Tiger Tribe for nearly a thousand years. If the tiger king cannot be lured out, even if the Golden Buddha goes there, the tiger king will use the Tiger King Seal to attract the power of Shuangmu Mountain, and the Golden Buddha will be unable to do anything.
"Brother Daohai, the abbot has said that from now on, there will be no more practitioners in Miaoying Temple. It will just be an ordinary temple that will enjoy a hundred years of incense."
After Daoyuan said this, there was an expression of reluctance on his face. Daohai trembled all over. Is this... is he going to be kicked out of Miaoying Temple?
Lin Ye, who was standing aside, somewhat understood Abbot Yin Guang's painstaking efforts.
Abbot, you have considered everything.
Miaoying Temple killed the mountain king and exterminated those ferocious monsters, which was a great contribution to the nearby people. It deserves to be worshipped for a hundred years.
But Master Yin Guang's plan, which has lasted for more than ten years, will only lead to the killing of the mountain lion. This matter will surely spread, and it will easily arouse the vigilance of other spiritual forces, especially the demon clan, and they will be remembered.
After all, which force would not be afraid of such an old villain?
But with the current strength of Miaoying Temple, it is simply unable to protect itself. In this case, it might as well give up practicing and just become an ordinary temple, so that the forces that are wary of Miaoying Temple will no longer pay attention to it.
As for whether some monsters will avenge the monsters in Shuangmu Mountain, regardless of whether the monsters are united internally, Lin Ye estimates that those who want to take revenge will also be worried after knowing the plan set by Master Yin Guang. Who knows whether Master Yin Guang has left any last resort.
As long as Miaoying Temple is no longer a threat, you can just ignore it.
"Brother, I...I grew up in a temple. I don't know where to go after I left the temple."
Dao Hai's voice sounded a little aggrieved. Lin Ye smiled when he heard this and immediately replied, "It's okay, Dao Hai, you can go to my place. I have plenty of rooms."
This is a super fighter, Lin Ye doesn't want to let him go.
Dao Hai glanced at Lin Ye and said a little embarrassedly: "Dao Ji, the abbot told me to stay away from you before he passed away."
Lin Ye: ...
Abbot Yin Guang is really something. He just left and left behind words that slandered himself.
Death is the greatest thing. Let it go. I won’t bother with him anymore.
Lin Ye curled his lips and looked towards Daoyuan. He had dealt with this man many times before. All the money donated during this period was received by Daoyuan.
The most important thing is that now that Daoyuan has taken over Miaoying Temple as the abbot, if he wants to keep the incense popular, he cannot do without the support of himself, the richest man.
While Dao Hai wasn't paying attention, Lin Ye stretched out his hand and made the number two.
Daoyuan felt helpless when he saw Lin Ye's gesture, but when he thought that there would be no more practicing monks in Miaoying Temple in the future, rich people might not give incense money anymore, so he could only choose to save this rich junior brother in front of him.
Putting his hands behind his back, Daoyuan made the number three.
Lin Ye nodded, and the two reached a silent deal.
Daoyuan persuaded Daohai to follow him, and he would bear all the expenses for building three new halls in Miaoying Temple.
"Amitabha, Daohai, the abbot asked you to stay away from Junior Brother Daoji because his living expenses are comparable to those of a rich kid, and our Buddhist practice is mainly based on asceticism, and he is afraid that if you get too close, it will disrupt your practice."
Daoyuan reluctantly explained to Lin Ye. Seeing Daohai's puzzled expression, he continued, "But cultivation depends on one's own heart. We in Buddhism have the saying of refining the heart in the mortal world. If you can stick to a heart of hard cultivation in a wealthy life with Junior Brother Daoji, this is the real cultivation. How can you refine your heart if you just stay in a quiet place to practice hard?"
"To see the prosperity of the world and remain unmoved is to refine one's mind."
Dao Hai was somewhat tempted. Yes, the abbot was afraid that he could not withstand the temptation of wealth and glory in the world, so he asked him to stay away from his junior brother Dao Ji. However, only by sticking to his original intention in the face of temptation can he truly practice.
Lin Ye listened to Daoyuan's words of persuasion with his mouth slightly opened... No wonder Master Yin Guang let Daoyuan succeed as abbot, with such a good mouth, it is impossible for Miaoying Temple not to be popular.
"Brother Daoji, I am sorry to bother you."
Dao Hai was finally fooled... and persuaded. He looked at Lin Ye a little embarrassedly, because he felt that following Lin Ye would be like eating and drinking for free.
"It's okay. We are brothers. Although I am a lay disciple, I am also a member of Miaoying Temple."
Lin Ye patted Dao Hai's shoulder and smiled happily: "Then, Senior Brother, let's set off now."
"Amitabha."
Daoyuan looked at Daohai who left with Lin Ye, chanted a Buddhist name, and whispered: "Brother Daohai, I'm sorry for you, but there is nothing I can do. Our Miaoying Temple is big and powerful, and there are so many brothers who need to make a living. You have to understand."
