Because it is Sunday, whether it is believers or tourists, there are several times more than usual on Baolian Mountain, and the Great Bodhi Temple, as the most famous temple on Baolian Mountain, is naturally full of tourists, and the crowd is like a tide.

In the front yard and middle courtyard of the entire Great Bodhi Temple, you can see tourists who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha almost everywhere, and all kinds of noisy sounds fill most of the Great Bodhi Temple, but when they flock to the backyard of the Great Bodhi Temple, it seems to be blocked by an invisible wall, so that the backyard can still maintain the tranquility of the past.

Merely...... Today's Da Bodhi backyard is a little quieter than usual, and even the sound of the monks in the normal backyard practicing or chanting is not left, as if all of them have been choked.

Even the monks passing by in the backyard were all in a hurry, looking a little nervous, and from time to time some monks looked in a certain direction at the back of the Great Bodhi Temple, with a trace of worry and confusion in their eyes.

This direction is exactly the direction where Master Zhenru usually lives in the courtyard.

"Really, are you guilty?"

The person who asked this question was a monk with a slightly round face and a slightly chubby body, who was about forty years old in appearance.

If an outsider saw this here, they would be very surprised.

Master Zhenru, who can be called a leader in the religious circles in Jianghuai City and even in the entire Jiangnan Province, and even has a great reputation in the entire domestic religious circles, is like a little novice who has just started, kneeling in front of this fat monk, without even raising his head, putting on a respectful appearance of bowing his head and admitting his mistakes.

And whether it was the chubby monk with an arrogant expression in front of him, or Master Jueming, the abbot of the Great Bodhi Temple behind Master Zhenru, and the little novice Jueyuan who had been serving Master Zhenru, they didn't seem to be surprised by this peculiar situation, as if it was a matter of course.

The only problem is that Jueyuan is a little unconvinced on his face.

"Truly as conviction of sin." Master Zhenru's tone was very calm, as if he had already been mentally prepared.

"Guilty?" The chubby monk raised his voice slightly, accentuating his tone. "Do you really know how great a sin you have committed? This monster has been suppressed for hundreds of years, and it looks like it is about to be completely influenced by the Dharma, but now it has been released because of your carelessness. It doesn't hurt if you are killed by decent fellow believers, but if you fall into the hands of evil people, do you know how serious the consequences will be? ”

Speaking of the back, the fat monk was almost roaring angrily, and the spit stars almost sprayed on Master Zhenru's face, which showed how angry he was now.

Master Jueming, who was behind Master Zhenru, couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Zhenguan master in front of him is from the main sect of Mount Meru, although he is much younger than Zhenru Shizu, but he is the same generation in terms of generation, and he and Jueyuan should be called Uncle Ancestor.

However, this master and ancestor were far inferior to the true master in terms of Dharma mentality, and now he actually put on such a furious, almost hysterical appearance, which really made Master Jueming feel a little dissatisfied with him in his heart.

However, the other party is from the precept hall of this sect, and he is in charge of the precepts in the mountain gate, and he has special authority in the mountain gate, not only the master Zhenru who made a mistake has to bow his head in front of him and admit his mistakes, but he and Jueyuan, the two outer disciples, are not qualified to question him, so they can only listen obediently.

Master Zhenru remained motionless and did not defend himself.

The slightly chubby Zhenguan Spit Xingzi said it randomly, but in the end, he couldn't find out more mistakes of Master Zhenru, so he could only announce the disposal plan that had been set by the Discipline Hall before he came here this time.

"Really, your big mistake this time has been cast, irrefutable, the sect has decided to strip you of your status as an elder of foreign affairs, no longer be in charge of the external affairs of the sect here, and punish you for three years of thinking about it, are you willing to be punished?"

"It's like receiving a punishment." Master Zhenru still did not make any excuses, and obediently accepted this punishment.

This attitude made Zhenguan speechless, he could only snort and continued: "Originally, the mountain gate planned to let you return to the sect to accept punishment and face the wall in the precept hall for three years, but this time the matter is not trivial, the door will not let go easily, and you need to stay here to provide clues and assist in the investigation of the door, so let you continue to stay here for the time being, but you don't need to interfere in specific mundane affairs, do you understand?" ”

"I understand."

Master Jueming behind him frowned again, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Shizu, if Shizu is really the most prestigious person in my Great Bodhi Temple, if he no longer cares about mundane affairs, I am afraid that the prestige of the Great Bodhi Temple will be seriously damaged, and this will have some impact on the people who originally came to my mountain gate......

Zhenguan glanced at Master Jueming, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes.

"The mountain gate has its own arrangements for this matter, how can you allow this outer disciple to intervene?"

Master Jueming frowned deeply, but said no more.

Jueyuan on the side squeezed his small fist hard, gritted his teeth tightly, and tried not to make any movements.

Zhenguan glanced at Jueyuan again and snorted coldly.

"It's true, you can do it yourself!"

With that, he walked away.

Seeing him walk out of the door, Jueyuan immediately rushed up and helped Master Zhenru up.

"Master, you ...... You're not leaving, are you? Jueyuan looked at Master Zhenru, and his little face was full of worry.

Master Zhenru smiled and shook his head: "Since the mountain gate has temporarily decided to leave Lao Wei here to assist in the investigation, then he will not leave for a while. ”

"What if the investigation is done? Do you still want to go back to the mountain gate sect to face the wall and think about it? ”

"Investigating?" An intriguing smile rose at the corner of Master Zhenru's mouth, and he glanced up at Master Jueming. "Jueming, do you have any results from your investigation into the situation that night?"

Master Jueming was slightly stunned, and then showed an equally intriguing smile.

"Tell the ancestor, I haven't been able to find any new clues for the time being."

"Really? Then we must continue to investigate, and we must not slacken. ”

"Yes."

Jueyuan looked at Master Zhenru, and then at Master Jueming, he always felt that the conversation between the two of them seemed to contain a deeper meaning, but he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Just when he was puzzled, a shout suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard.

"Master, there are guests asking to see."

"Guest?" All three of them were stunned.

"Which guest is it?" Master Zhenru asked in a loud voice.

"It's Xu Xu, who has been here twice before, and he also brought two companions, a man and a woman, and wanted to see them together." The monk outside the courtyard responded.

"Master, this situation is ...... now It's hard to meet guests, right? Master Jueming thought for a moment.

Although he knew that the ancestor looked at this benefactor named Xu Zhuo differently, the uncle of Zhenguan, who had just come on behalf of the Shanmen Sect, also warned the ancestor not to meddle in foreign affairs, and the ancestor immediately received the foreign guests, I am afraid that there would be some inconvenience.

"It doesn't matter." Master Zhenru smiled and waved his hand. "Lord Xu has a fate with my Buddha, and there is no obstacle to meeting him."

After that, Master Zhenru raised his voice again: "Bring in Master Xu and the two guests who came with him." ”

The monk left in response, and Master Jueming said goodbye to Master Zhenru.

"Master, today is Sunday, and there are many mundane affairs in the temple, so I won't bother you to receive guests."

Master Zhenru nodded lightly: "In the future, the affairs in the temple need to be realized that you need to worry more." ”

Master Jueming sighed softly: "This is Jueming's duty. It's just that now that there is no master and ancestor in charge, the Great Bodhi Temple may be ......"

Master Jueming shook his head, didn't say any more, bowed to Master Zhenru, and slowly left.

When Master Jueming also walked out, Jueyuan snorted angrily: "Master, you didn't do anything wrong at all in this incident, why did the mountain gate condemn you and let you be punished?" They're not reasonable! ”

Master Zhenru glanced at Jueyuan lightly, and smiled peacefully: "The origin and the fall are all destined." Jueyuan, you're in love. ”

"But ......"

"Go, the guests are coming soon, serve a cup of tea to the guests, and prepare to entertain the guests." Master Zhenru interrupted Jueyuan's words.

Jueyuan had no choice but to pout and obediently prepare.

About five minutes later, Xu Zhuo and the three of them met Master Zhenru in the small courtyard.

As soon as he saw Master Zhenru, Xu Zhuo was a little surprised.

"Master, have you encountered something good these days? I notice that you look much better than the last time I saw you. ”

Xu Zhuo didn't talk nonsense.

Compared to the last time I saw Master Zhenru, when we met again this time, Master Zhenru not only had a complexion and face that was visible to the naked eye and was obviously better than the last time, but at the same time, ordinary people could not see it with the naked eye, but Xu Zhuo could see the vision of the essence reflected outside, which was interpreted by Tie Zhu as an "aura", and it was obvious that the state was much better.

Master Zhenru smiled slightly: "Now the old man can completely get rid of the troubles of mundane affairs, devote himself to practicing the Dharma, and naturally have a good spirit. ”

"Get rid of mundane worries completely?" Xu Zhuo and Rego didn't react much to this sentence, but Ji Yan, as a journalist, was keenly aware of the problem. "Master Zhenru, what do you mean by that? Aren't you going to show your face in public in the future? ”

Master Zhenru looked at Ji Yan and groaned slightly: "This is Ji Yan Ji Shishi, right?" If Lao Wei is not mistaken, you seem to be a reporter for Jianghuai City TV? ”

"Strictly speaking, no...... Forget it, you can think of me as a reporter, and Xu Zhuo can also be regarded as a reporter of our station, and we interviewed you together last time. Ji Yan replied.

"Hehe, you happened to visit at this time, it's really fate." Master Zhenru smiled again. "It's okay, Master Ji, Master Xu, can you two please make a statement for Lao Wei?"

"What statement?" Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo were stunned.

"The content of the statement is to declare to the public that the old man has decided to devote himself to practicing Buddhism in the future and will no longer participate in any mundane affairs." The master replied.

"Huh?"

Not only Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo, but Rego also looked at Master Zhenru with a dull expression.

They only came to visit today because of Rego, but they didn't expect that they had unexpectedly gained a big news!
