The palm of the slave's hand was already slightly sweaty, but he still tried to open his five fingers, holding the jade steadily, in the chaos and noisy voices, he felt that his heart was already blank, time seemed to stand still, between the lightning and flint, he heard the familiar sound of the bowstring.

He was overjoyed at once, did not dare to move, and shouted loudly: "Three! ”

The voices of the people who were still talking about it were suddenly silenced, and all the people looked at the hand of the slave in disbelief, and the jade was indeed gone!

Even Hagi Niang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, what kind of method did the slave use?

She doesn't believe in any miracles, any gods and Buddhas, but this trick is really clean and unbelievable.

Everyone only felt that the white light flashed in front of them, and the jade was really gone.

Before they had time to think about what was going on, everyone knelt down involuntarily, worshipping the sky, admiring this "miracle", and even several monks around the great elder couldn't help but chant the Buddha together, and they actually believed that this was done by the Buddha.

But the Great Elder won't believe it!

Although he didn't know how to do it, he only had one thought in his heart, that is, to get the jade, and even more so to get rid of this kid, his eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness, and he let his cronies and disciples come over and whispered a few words.

The close disciple involuntarily showed a trace of fear in his eyes, and looked at his master worriedly, but he didn't dare to refuse, he just muttered quietly, but he still compromised under the eyes of the Great Elder, and turned away.

After the arrangement stopped, the Great Elder himself walked up leisurely and laughed loudly.

"Hehehehe...... This layman is really interesting, I think you used to be a juggler in the market to make a living, you dare to make this opportunistic trick into a god and Buddha manifestation, Amitabha, and please Bodhisattva Mo blame, don't blame this layman for this. ”

The people around who were still chanting Buddha and worshipping got up one after another, and someone in the crowd shouted: "It turns out that this kid just hid the stone on his body, and there is nothing remarkable, Great Elder, search his body quickly!" ”

At first, it was just one or two people who took the lead in shouting, and then later, it was the crowd that was angry, and they all demanded that the Great Elder uphold justice and search this kid.

The Great Elder only smiled slightly, and did not give an order immediately.

The slave was slightly surprised in his heart, but when he saw that the Great Elder looked confident, he was even more secretly frightened.

Letting everyone make a fuss, the Great Elder saw that his trusted disciple had returned and stood in the forefront, so he said leisurely, "Don't make a noise, everyone. ”

His prestige was extremely high, and the crowd suddenly quieted down, and the Great Elder continued to say slowly, righteously, and righteously: "My Buddha is compassionate, so even if some small people sneak into the temple to do some unseemly business, the old man is also in line with my Buddha's tolerant mind, and does not blame them too harshly, but these murderers actually use the name of the Buddha to try to encroach on the treasures of our temple, which is really intolerable, not only desecrated the Buddha treasures of our temple, but also blasphemed the gods. No matter how lenient the old man is, he is determined not to let go of these shameless people. ”

When he said this, he paused, and said to the disciples around him: "Tongguang, Tongzhao, you two go up and search the body of this little thief to see how he still denies it." ”

When the slave heard this, he was very calm in his heart, he didn't have anything on him, what were he afraid of?

The Great Elder smiled, and continued as if inadvertently: "Because of Uncle Kuanren, this temple has not punished such thieves for a long time, among the Buddhist sects, stealing is a big crime, according to the laws of this temple, but the right hand should be cut off......"

It's nothing, but Hagi Niang is in a hurry, she has already understood, no matter whether there is something hidden on the slave, the great elder of Raushzi will definitely find some "Buddha treasures" from him, and it will really be unclear at that time.

To put it bluntly, this method was very clumsy in later generations, but in the two Jin Dynasty periods, when the folk customs were relatively simple, who would have thought that the highly respected elder would use such a despicable method?

Seeing that the two disciples had ill-intentioned looks in their eyes, Hagi Niang was about to step forward, but regardless of her identity, she stood up and shouted, "Slow! ”

Seeing that she was just a woman, the Great Elder didn't take her seriously at all, but just waved his hand and asked the monk to pull her away.

Hagi Niang hurriedly said loudly: "Great Elder, everyone respects you as a high-ranking monk, so they respect and respect you, but you have made your own disciples frame innocent outsiders in a vain attempt to seize our treasures, what is the reason?" ”

As soon as these words came out, although the disciple's eyes were a little erratic, the great elder was also caught in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but his face pretended to be calm, and he laughed: "Hehe, this female layman is really ridiculous, the old man has been in the Qiyue Temple for decades, what is his character, since it is not your turn to evaluate, you said that I ordered the disciple to frame him, but there is evidence, if not, how can you say anything?"

Hagi Niang saluted him respectfully, but said without giving in: "The evidence is naturally on your two disciples, if you allow it, I will show you." ”

The Great Elder sneered, "What are you making a fuss about? Could it be that I am a disciple of the Moon Temple, can I still believe it? ”

He waved his hand and said angrily to the monks around him: "Why don't you take this vexatious woman away?" ”

Hagi Niang saw that there were really a few cowering monks who came up and wanted to pull her sleeves, but she was busy and shouted, "Who dares to touch me?" ”

When the monks saw her extremely dignified, they were also stunned, but they didn't dare to pull it, but they just surrounded her, blocked her sight, and forced her to leave the slave.

There are already smart people who see that something is wrong with this situation, but smart people have their own way of survival, and they will not stand up and wade into this troubled water.

More people did not know the truth, and they were still under the instigation of those few people, clamoring and coaxing to search for the slaves.

The slave was reminded by Hagi Niang, and finally understood, but the great elder hated himself for some reason, desperately framed himself, and wanted to pull himself into the water, he hurriedly refused the two monks to get close, and also asked: "Great Elder, since you have a clear conscience, why don't you let others check the bodies of your two disciples?" As you said, the Buddha's purpose is to be compassionate and all living beings are equal, so why do you treat me and your disciples differently when I see it like this? ”
