Inside Master's room.

Sankun stood alone beside the master.

The master was silent for a while, and Sankun pouted and motioned for me to sit down.

I didn't dare to sit down, so I stood at the door and didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, the master said slowly: "You don't have to go back to Dongyue Temple in the near future, and you will repent and atone for your sins here." ”

"The affairs of the temple ......"

"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements. He said that he ordered Sankun to lead me out and arrange housing.

On the way, I asked Sankun, "Senior brother, what is going on?"

Sankun wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Senior brother, don't be anxious, you will understand soon." ”

"Senior brother, do you have any news to hide from me? I was framed this time, and the whole thing is confusing, and it is really difficult to figure out the secret. I hurriedly said, "If you know anything, tell me." ”

"I can't say it at this time, but in two days, Master will wait for some distant disciples to come together for a conference, and then you just need to pay attention. After Sankun finished speaking, he led me to the bedroom, and then went back to report to the master.

Two days later, Master's Dharma Hall.

All the people who came from all over the world arrived. Many brothers and sisters rarely see each other because of the north and the south, so it is not lively. It's very cordial to meet each other.

In a moment, the master entered the hall, and suddenly the hall became silent, and he automatically separated and stood in two rows.

After the Master sat down, he said, "I have ordered the disciples to come here today because there are two things to discuss with you. ”

"A while ago, there was a big incident in the Dongyue Temple, and the entire Buddhist and Taoist circles were greatly shaken, and many of you must not know the inside story. ”

At this time, Sanzhuang, who was standing on the left, said: "Originally, I didn't know the inside story, but Shicai had already heard from Senior Brother Sanji and told us. ”

"Well, Mitsuji is doing a great job. Save more words for the teacher. In this case, Sanji, you will state the facts from the beginning again in front of everyone. ”

Senior Brother Sanji received the order and described the whole thing in great detail from beginning to end. He also focused on the section on how I was warned in the temple at that time to be careful of Zang Butian.

Speaking of impassionedness, he said: "I don't want a disciple who is so important to Master to be so fascinated by the demons in his heart for a while, and make such a big mistake, so that Master is sad and my Dao sect is ashamed. As a senior brother, I have also advised him many times that he must be upright, especially when Master asks the Heavenly Master to entrust such an important Dongyue Temple to you, and you should set an example to promote the Great Dao. ”

"As a senior brother, I saw that my junior brother fell into the cave of demons but did not save it as soon as possible, so that Dongyue Temple is now leaderless and unmanaged. Every time I think about it, I regret it. Please don't punish my junior brother, but punish me for not being a good senior brother. ”

As soon as Senior Brother Sanji finished speaking, there were many people from the same sect who only knew the grievances of Buddhism but did not know the inside story, and suddenly began to whisper. There are those who are surprised, there are those who despise, and there are those who gloat.

Master said, "It's excellent that you can think of Senior Brother's responsibility. You can also think of the management situation in the temple, which shows that you have put your mind into it. ”

"For today's plan, there is no one to take care of Dongyue Temple, so we still have to immediately select a suitable person to report to the Heavenly Master to see who will take over Dongyue Temple. Let's talk about it. ”

It seems that my position as abbot is no longer guaranteed.

It's hard to argue right now, and just begging Master not to expel me from the Dao Gate is already a great luxury. Therefore, I dare not say more.

When the fellow disciples saw that the master was suitable, they first ordered Sanji to preach about this matter, and then praised Sanji. Moreover, Sanji is the senior brother of everyone, so many people recommended that the senior brother of Sanji take over the position of abbot of Dongyue Temple.

Just as everyone was discussing, three people suddenly broke in outside the door. When everyone looked at it, it was Shanxian, Shanheng, and Shanhao.

The three of them walked in front of the master, knelt on the ground in unison, and Shan Heng said: "Master, as disciples, we have followed the master all the way to the north and south, and have experienced countless experiences. We were all with us during the whole incident. ”

"If Master behaves like this, how can we, as disciples, be convinced. What's more, the three of us took turns on duty to catch the female thief, from guarding to recording a confession, and there was no such thing as forcing a good person to become a prostitute! Please be aware of it!"

Shan Xian said: "I put the Dinghaizhu, and I found it when I lost it." Master didn't know about the whole thing from beginning to end, please be aware of it!"

Seeing that the master was silent, Senior Brother Sanji stepped forward and said, "Three senior nephews, your feelings can be understood by the senior uncle. Now that the matter has come to this point, the master and nephew do not need to be sad, I believe that the matter will be clarified. And also the truth of the facts. ”

Shan Hao said: "Uncle Sanji, I have something to ask you. ”

Senior Brother Sanji said, "What's the matter? ”

"Uncle Shi said that the time was not early, and it was the bed I made for Uncle Shi, but that's it?" asked Shan Hao.

"Exactly, the teacher and nephew have a heart and take care of them very thoughtfully. ”

"Did you go out that night?" asked Yamaho.

"I slept until dawn and didn't go out halfway. ”

"Then why did I pass by my uncle's room and see the bedside light on when I was ugly and at the end of the night, but no one answered when I knocked on the door?"

Xu was sleeping deeply and didn't hear it. ”

"I opened the door, but Uncle Shi was not on the bed, dare to ask where Uncle Shi went that night?" asked Shan Hao.

"Oh, I forgot, I got up once that night. There was no bathroom in the room in the temple, so I got up all night. Senior brother said.

"Then why did I go back and see you coming back from the east and not from the west, where the toilet is?"

"This, this, this, you remember wrong. The yard is too big, and I got lost. ”

"Uncle Shi, I didn't get up at all that day, and I didn't see you. Shan Hao said.

Sanji's face was blue and white at this time, like a dyeing workshop knocking down a dye vat. Then he suddenly became embarrassed and said angrily: "It's really that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the master is not serious, and the disciple will follow suit!"

The master glanced at Sanji and said, "You're right, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. ”

Sanji knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said to his master: "Master forgives me, I, I, I, I have no other meaning, just to reprimand him and tease me." ”

"Everyone in the same sect recommended you to go to Dongyue Temple, what do you think?" Master asked with a frown.

"If Master sends his disciples, he will go all out and live up to Master's mission. Samje Road.

The master pondered for a moment and said, "There is another person who was captured by me. The reason why we have to wait until today to hold this meeting is that some of the disciples have not arrived, and second, because this person has not yet arrived. ”

With a wave of his hand, a man was pushed through the door.

But it was the leader of the group of monks in Tiantai Mountain that day, the monk who was caught stealing last time.

When the man entered the hall, Sankun said to him, "Look at the people in this hall, who do you know?"

The man looked left and right, pointed at me, Shan Heng, Shan Xian, Shan Hao, and finally pointed at Sanji.

When Sanji saw him pointing at him, he was shocked: "I don't know you, why do you want to point at me?"

Sankun didn't wait for him to answer, and asked, "How did you know these people?" Recruit from the truth. ”
