The pagodas were like a forest, all of them suspended in the air.
This scene was so shocking that one couldn't understand it unless they saw it with their own eyes.
The majestic main temple, which was suspended in the air purely by its own material, overturned Jiang Wang's understanding of temples. There was such a building in the world?
As expected of the Eastern Sacred Land of Buddhism, the place where countless Buddhas chanted day and night.
Jiang Wang flew through the pagoda forest, heading straight for the main temple.
On his left was Ku Jue, and on his right was Jing Li. They looked like two guardian vajras. One on the left and one on the right, they were very 'protected'.
"Masters," Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said, "Your temple is very spacious. You don't have to be so close."
"Nonsense!" Ku Jue reprimanded, "You're still young. You don't know how sinister people are. This temple is big, and the demonic winds are strong. The pond is deep, and there are even more bastards. Those bald donkeys are all bad! We, master and disciple, need to be united, hand in hand, and work together to clean up the mess. We need to sweep away the evil and bring glory to Xuankong Temple. When I become the abbot in the future, you will be the next abbot. "
"Master." Jing Li felt that something was amiss. "What about me?"
"Uh …" Ku Jue just remembered that he had already promised the position of the next abbot to Jing Li. Thus, he changed his words. "You're older and more sensible. As the senior brother, you need to yield to your junior brother. Jing Shen will be the next abbot, and you will be the next vice abbot. "
Jing Li didn't really care that the position of the first abbot was taken by his junior brother. He was willing to yield to his junior brother. He just scratched his bald head. "But our Xuankong Temple doesn't have a vice abbot."
"Jingli, why have you become so stiff?" Kujue criticized. "As monks, we must know how to be flexible. You've already left your home, yet you still abide by those rules. Why did you become a monk in the first place? The position of vice abbot didn't exist in the past, but it doesn't mean it won't exist in the future. "
"Master is right." Jing Li put his palms together, deeply inspired. "I've been thinking too much."
The two of them chatted back and forth. Jiang Wang was in the middle, completely at a loss for words.
This was not a conversation that anyone in their right mind could have.
Disregarding everything else, the matter of coveting the abbot's position, 'cleaning up the roots', and reforming the system of the temple … Shouldn't such an important matter be discussed in a secluded place?
Jiang Wang had a headache.
This old monk Ku Jue was abnormally stubborn and full of nonsense. But no matter what he said, Jing Li believed him without a doubt. They were truly a pair of master and disciple made for each other.
Jiang Wang was even more determined to stay away from this pair of master and disciple who were so compatible. How could he be worthy of joining them?
Fortunately, his flying speed was not slow. He finally landed in front of the main temple of Xuankong Temple before Ku Jue and Jingli started the next topic.
What surprised him was that the abbot of Xuankong Temple, Master Ku Ming, was waiting in front of the temple.
It was a fat monk with drooping white eyebrows and a distressed face.
As soon as she saw him, she felt a sense of impermanence and worry.
She had never seen him before, but as soon as she saw him, she knew that this person was undoubtedly the abbot of Xuankong Temple, Master Ku Ming.
Jiang Wang's Taoist heart was extremely firm. Of course, he would not be moved by this little worry. He took the initiative to say, "Abbot, I'm really sorry to trouble you to welcome me."
The fat monk smiled, but his smile was even more distressed and miserable than when he did not smile. "It's fine. Just now, Benefactor Jiang said outside the mountain gate that you were asked to come by Master Guan Yan? "
"That's right."
Master Ku Ming nodded. "Guan Yan's name is indeed in the jade archive of my temple. He was lost in the secret realm five hundred years ago, and there was no news of him. Presumably, Benefactor Jiang saw him in the secret realm? "
"Yes," Jiang Wang said, "I was lucky enough to meet Master Guan Yan in the secret realm of the Seven Stars Tower of the Tian family of Daze. He … "
"Wait." Ku Jue pulled him aside. "We haven't even talked about the benefits. What are you in a hurry to say?"
Master Ku Ming looked at this yellow-faced old monk and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, a black-clothed monk with a serious face behind Ku Ming said, "Ku Jue, you can't just do whatever you want."
"Ha." Ku Jue sneered without any trace of politeness. "Ku Di, you're just the head of the Guan Shi Hall. How dare you lecture me?"
The three halls of Xuankong Temple were the Dragon Subduing Hall, the Flower Picking Hall, and the Guan Shi Hall. The positions of the heads of the three halls in the temple were only below that of the abbot.
But in Ku Jue's mouth, they became "only" … It was as if he had already become the abbot.
Ordinary people would not be able to tell that Master Ku Jue did not even have a position in Xuankong Temple.
"I'm telling you to stop talking nonsense!" Ku Di was obviously a serious person. He could not bear to see him not following the rules. He said with a cold face, "What nonsense were you talking about on the road just now?"
Ku Jue and Jing Li had spoken nonsense about the position of the abbot. If they really wanted to investigate, they could still investigate.
But Ku Jue did not look guilty at all. Instead, he flew into a rage. "You long-eared and hairless black rabbit. You're eavesdropping on me again!"
Among all the monks present, only the black-clothed Ku Di was so angry that his voice was shaking. "You dare to talk nonsense, but you don't dare to let others hear you?!"
"Humph! Kujue said with a strong sense of righteousness, "The supreme divine ability of the Buddhist League is not for you to use for sneaky purposes!"
Ku Di was so angry that his voice became sharp. "Who's stealing?"
"Ha." Ku Jue sneered. "On the evening of the ninth day of the seventh month of the year 3814 in the Taoist calendar, you didn't do your evening classes. Where are you? You stole someone's Luhua Chicken and ate it. Now you want to deny it? No way! "
"You!" Ku Di's chest bulged as if it was about to explode.
Jiang Wang was stunned as he listened on the side.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the year 3814 in the Taoist calendar … What a guy. He was talking about something that happened more than a hundred years ago.
Master Ku Ming's face was so bitter that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
That year, that chicken was indeed stolen by Ku Di. However, all of them had secretly eaten it, and Ku Jue had eaten the most! But now, Ku Jue was the only one speaking righteously, as if it had nothing to do with him.
None of the abbots or heads present could stand out and say that it was eaten together in the past.
After all, it was a violation of the precepts, and so many disciples were watching!
Amidst the silence, Ku Jue continued to attack. "You little thief who stole the chicken, bald donkey in the corner, you've really damaged the illustrious reputation of our Xuankong Temple! I think you're no longer suitable for the position of head of the Guanshi Hall. "
"Head Senior Brother." He turned to look at Master Ku Ming with a sincere expression. "I'll take on this responsibility for the time being. Senior Brother, don't worry. I, Ku Jue, am not a person who is obsessed with power and position. I'm not like Ku Bing and the others, who are unwilling to move their butts from the seat of head. When I find a virtuous person, I'll immediately step down from my position! "
Everyone knew that once he really became the head of the Guanshi Hall, that "virtuous person" would probably never be found in his lifetime …
Ku Bing flew into a rage at the side. Ku Ming had specifically advised him, so this time he didn't say anything and didn't express his opinion at all. He didn't expect that this would also affect him.
He immediately roared, "Why am I unwilling to move my butts? The head of the Dragon Subduing Hall has always been a Dao protector who can fight. If you can beat me, then come at me! "
His figure was thin, but the volume of his voice was strangely loud, like a large bell.
It shocked the listeners to the point that they were secretly shocked.
However, Ku Jue acted as if nothing had happened. He even picked his ears and faced Master Ku Ming. "Senior Brother, look, look. You want to fight with me at the slightest provocation. Our Xuankong Temple, the holy land of Buddhism, has actually been reduced to a place where people fight fiercely. What is this? "
He shook his head and wrung his hands. He was filled with grief and indignation. "The ancestors worked hard to build this foundation. They definitely didn't expect that the younger generation of monks would be so disappointing, right? My heart hurts! "
