Vajra Sutra, Dharma Sutra, and other familiar Buddhist sutras were being recited by these monks. However, these monks seemed to be going through the motions and were not focused at all.
On the other hand, the villagers of Little Rock Village were devoutly worshipping Buddha. Everyone's eyes were filled with reverence. Clearly, in the hearts of these villagers, Buddha's position was supreme.
Under a mulberry tree, Ye Xuan was leaning against the tree alone. He calmly looked at the ongoing ceremony and did not participate in it.
The so-called Deities and Buddhas were not worth mentioning in Ye Xuan's eyes. Naturally, Ye Xuan would not worship the Buddha like the villagers. Furthermore, towards the Great Thunderclap Temple of Western Mystical Mountain, Ye Xuan had never taken it to heart.
If not for the fact that Buddhism was founded by the two Western Sages, Ye Xuan would have destroyed Mystical Mountain because of how it targeted him in the past. How could there be today's Buddha Worship Day?
After half a day, from the cumbersome worship ceremony, the so-called Buddha Worship Day finally came to an end. Every villager of Little Rock Village was glowing and they were reciting Buddhist sutras that they did not understand.
"Buddhism is boundless and benefits the people of the world."
Ku Hui clasped his hands together and recited Buddha's name. Two monks walked out from the crowd with a Merit Box in their hands. They then looked around at the villagers of Little Rock Village. Clearly, they were asking the villagers for incense money.
"My Buddha is merciful!"
Zhang Qinghe clasped his hands together and was the first to step forward with a devout expression. He held five copper coins tightly in his hands and devoutly placed them into the Merit Box.
At this moment!
When Ku Hui saw the five copper coins donated by Zhang Qinghe, his brows furrowed tightly. Although he had already expected that Little Rock Village would not be able to offer any incense money, he did not expect that the village chief would be so poor. Then wouldn't the other villagers be even more poor?
As expected!
Before Ku Hui could relax his brows, he saw the villagers of Little Rock Village step forward one after another. One copper coin, two copper coins, and some even took out crops like sweet potatoes as incense money and stuffed them into the hands of the monks who were holding the merit boxes.
"Enough!"
Such a scene directly caused Ku Hui's face to turn red. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time rose and his cold reprimand exploded in the ears of the villagers.
"Forget about the three animals and four fruits being inferior, now you are even so stingy with the incense money to worship my Buddha. You unruly people are simply lawless, you don't even have Buddha in your heart." Ku Hui was flustered and exasperated, where was the slightest bit of mercy left?
"Emissary, please calm down. It is my Little Rock Village …"
Zhang Qinghe's face was pale as he hurriedly bowed to explain. However, before he could finish his words, Ku Hui glared at him, causing Zhang Qinghe to shudder and swallow the words he was about to say.
"Unruly people come from barren hills and turbulent waters, unruly people come from barren hills and turbulent waters!"
Ku Hui was burning with rage, he was so angry that he stomped his feet. He had wasted half a day and the incense money he received was so little, this was the biggest humiliation to him.
The enraged Buddhist emissary caused the villagers of Little Rock Village to panic. However, no one dared to retort. Clearly, the prestige of Buddhism had existed in the Aparagodānīya Continent for a long time, causing these villagers to not have any strange thoughts.
"Scoundrel!"
Suddenly, a weak child's voice rang out from the crowd. Although the voice was not loud, now that the Buddhist emissary was enraged, the villagers did not dare to make a sound. This voice was clearly piercing to the ears.
"How dare you! Who dares to slander my Buddha?"
Ku Hui was already furious. Now that he heard this voice, it naturally added fuel to the fire. This also caused him to look towards the source of the voice.
"Little Zhuo Ma, don't speak nonsense."
In the crowd, Uncle Zhuo's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly scolded the little girl in a low voice and even covered the little girl's mouth. Clearly, this voice came from little Zhuo Ma's mouth.
"Great, great. Even this little child dares to slander my Buddhists. You people of Little Rock Village sure have guts." Ku Hui pointed at the villagers and his voice became extremely cold.
"Emissary, please calm down. She is still a child. Please do not lower yourself to her level."
Uncle Zhuo hurriedly knelt on the ground and continuously kowtowed to Ku Hui. He even pulled his granddaughter to kneel down and apologize to Ku Hui. However, the little girl dodged and ran to Ye Xuan. Half of her body was hidden behind Ye Xuan's back.
"They are scoundrels. Not only did they bully Uncle Qing He, they also took advantage of the villagers' money."
The little girl bit her lips tightly. Her gaze towards Ku Hui and the group of monks was filled with disgust. Clearly, in the little girl's pure heart, although she could not differentiate between good and evil, she could still distinguish between good and bad people.
"Demon child, this must be a demon child." Being reprimanded by a little girl like this caused Ku Hui's face to turn ashen. He even pointed at little Zhuo Ma and scolded loudly.
"How dare you, demon child. How dare you mislead the crowd and slander the reputation of my Buddhism."
Ku Hui scolded angrily and strode towards the little girl. His aurous core stage cultivation was released. A ring of golden Buddhist light bloomed, causing people to feel extremely fearful when they looked at it.
"Emissary, please calm down. She is only a child. She is definitely not a demon child." Uncle Zhuo was drenched in cold sweat. He hurriedly stood in front of Ku Hui and pleaded with a trembling voice.
"Emissary, please be clear. She is really only a child. Please do not be angry." Zhang Qing He said humbly and directly knelt at Ku Hui's feet.
"Scram!"
Ku Hui swept his sleeves and directly swept the two of them away. This also caused Zhang Qing He and Uncle Zhuo to let out a muffled groan as they landed heavily on the ground.
"Lowly commoners!"
Ku Hui scolded coldly. If it was not for the fact that he was a Buddhist and was not good at killing, he would definitely kill the two of them today to prevent him from being disgusted.
"Grandfather, Uncle Qing He!"
Little Zhuo Ma called out softly and was about to run towards the two of them. However, before she could do anything, a hand gently pulled her back.
"If you dare to take another step forward, you will not be able to leave today."
Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from behind the little girl. Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and was looking at Ku Hui emotionlessly and indifferently. It was obvious that this sentence came from Ye Xuan.
"Hmm?"
When Ye Xuan's words fell into his ears, this caused Ku Hui's expression to change slightly. He stared at Ye Xuan and suddenly discovered that there was a youth in black standing behind the little girl.
Ye Xuan was dressed in a rough hemp garment. His greyish white hair was scattered behind his head. However, his appearance was extremely handsome and his skin was as white as jade. Although his clothes were extremely simple, he gave off an indescribable pressure just by standing there.
Although Ku Hui was a Buddhist, he was also a Buddhist cultivator in the Aurous Core stage. Although his cultivation was not high, his ability to judge people was extremely powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become a Buddhist emissary with his Aurous Core stage cultivation.
When Ye Xuan's voice and appearance entered Ku Hui's eyes, Ku Hui's eyes suddenly froze. His heart was beating violently at this moment. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but an unimaginable great person.
Pressure, pressure like a mountain. This was the first instinct that Ye Xuan gave Ku Hui.
