While the people were waiting for the opening ceremony to begin, someone from outside came in again.

This time, a team of officers and soldiers opened the way, and there was a soft sedan chair in the team, and it was the prefect of Zhengzhou Mansion who had arrived.

The prefect of Zhengzhou is surnamed Lu, called Lu Xuezhang, and is one of Guan Tianzhao's absolute henchmen, so he can serve as the position of the prefect of the capital of a province, Guan Shanyue is very familiar with him, and even as soon as this sedan chair came in, Guan Shanyue told Huo Yuanzhen that Lu Xuezhang had arrived.

People gave way to the prefect's palanquin, and under the escort of the soldiers, the palanquin turned around and went to the back.

The monks of Daxiangguo Temple have arrived, the prefect has also arrived, the key figures have almost arrived, and the time is almost up, and it is estimated that the opening ceremony of Fawang Temple is about to begin.

The doors of the backyard and the middle courtyard finally opened, and people flocked in, but they all consciously did not approach the area of the seated person.

These ordinary people all know that on such a day, the people who can sit here are big people, and they can't approach them casually.

Although the courtyard of Fawang Temple is not as perverted as the courtyard of Shaolin Temple, it is more than 100 meters long and wide, and it is quickly full of people.

The process of entering the people lasted for nearly half an hour, and it was almost time to open the light, so the people stopped entering there, and there was really no place to install it.

The courtyard gate is closed, and the opening ceremony is about to begin.

In the open space in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is about to be opened, there is a group of monks sitting cross-legged.

At this time, a big monk finally came out of the back, Huo Yuanzhen took a look, and knew that he was an old acquaintance, it was the monk Lixuan he met when he was borrowing money some time ago.

Under the command of Monk Lixuan, a group of small monks of Fawang Temple began to play music, chimes, small drums, wooden fish, cymbals and other musical instruments sounded at the same time, and a large number of monks recited the scriptures next to them, and the sound was very loud.

The voices here and the people over there also stopped the noise, and each probe looked in.

The drums sounded in unison, everyone watched, Monk Li Xuan was a little proud, looked around, and suddenly saw two bald heads on the guest seat.

To be precise, it is a bald head, because Li Xuan does not know Guan Shanyue, and Guan Shanyue is a long-haired old man in front of him, and now he is bald, and he has changed into a monk's robe, unless he is a person who is particularly familiar with him, it is really not easy to recognize him.

Even if Li Xuan knew Guan Shanyue, he probably wouldn't be able to see it at this time, there was only one person in his eyes, and that was Huo Yuanzhen.

"It's him, that's right, I also recognize him when he turns into ashes, I didn't expect him to dare to come to my Fawang Temple to watch the opening ceremony, the abbot of Shaolin!".

Li Xuan's eyes were staring at Huo Yuanzhen, and Huo Yuanzhen was staring at him without fear.

Sometimes you have to pose as a monk in front of others, but you don't have to do it in front of Li Xuan, a peer, and it is not pleasing to each other, and politeness is superfluous.

Li Xuan seemed to have the heart to say something to Huo Yuanzhen, but there were so many people here, it was inconvenient, and he was not sure about defeating Huo Yuanzhen with words.

In Li Xuan's heart, Huo Yuanzhen's deeds that can communicate with the Buddha must be fake, he can communicate with the Buddha, he can show miracles casually, and he also went out to borrow a fart loan, and it will be over with a Shaolin Temple directly from the sky.

Therefore, Li Xuan is confident that if he engages in this Daxiong Treasure Palace, he will definitely be able to take the limelight from Shaolin Temple.

Huo Yuan really came, which surprised him a little, and after thinking about it, he decided to report this matter to the abbot.

Before he could go back to report it, the drums grew louder again, and a group of people came out from behind.

All eyes are on here.

Huo Yuanzhen is no exception.

Walking in front are three people, the middle and right are monks, and the left is a person who looks like an official.

The official walking on the left, about forty years old, with a fair complexion, seems to be a scholar.

Guan Shanyue pointed and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Senior brother abbot, this person is Lu Xuezhang, the prefect of Zhengzhou, who took the Tanhua exam a few years ago, and later came to Henan to serve.

Huo Yuanzhen nodded, and pointed to the two monks again, "What about these two?"

Guan Shanyue said: "The person on the right is the abbot of the Fawang Temple, King Likong, this old monk has average skills, he is over seventy years old and has not reached the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and his achievements are limited."

Seeing that this old monk was the one who wrote the invitation to himself, Huo Yuanzhen looked at it carefully.

Wearing a big red robe, he is slightly fat, and has a white beard under his forehead, but he is not kind to him.

After looking at it, Huo Yuanzhen said again: "Then the one in the middle must be the Lizhi Zen Master of Daxiangguo Temple."

Guan Shanyue also looked at it: "I don't know this person either, but if he can walk in the middle, he must be the only one who has this qualification, and he seems to be a bit of a Taoist."

Indeed, Zen Master Lizhi's appearance is much better than that of King Likong, which is similar to the Taoist monks I watched in TV dramas before.

King Likong and Lu Xuezhang walked beside Zen Master Lizhi with respectful expressions.

It is said that Lu Xuezhang does not need to be too respectful to Zen Master Lizhi, although Zen Master Lizhi has a noble status, and he does not have to make a big salute when he sees the emperor, but he Lu Xuezhang is the person who makes Guan Tianzhao in the festival, and the people under the sect have never been very respectful to the court.

The reason why he is so respectful may be because he also believes in the Buddha and has an instinctive respect for such masters.

A few people were about to walk to the table and chairs on the high platform in front of them, Li Xuan walked over quickly, whispered next to Li Kong for a while, and then pointed at Huo Yuanzhen from time to time.

King Likong also looked at Huo Yuanzhen frequently, and then talked to Lu Xuezhang and Zen Master Lizhi for a few words, and then walked to the high platform, and did not come to trouble Huo Yuanzhen.

As several of the main figures took their seats, the drumming over there also stopped.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, the abbot of Howang Temple, King Likong, stood up.

"Amitabha!".

His Holiness is very old, but his voice is not small, standing on a high platform, his voice is loud, and he has a Buddha name.

"Dear donors, today is the consecration ceremony of the miracle of my Fawang Temple, thanks to the love of the Buddha, the heavenly merit treasure hall and the Fawang Temple, in line with the spirit of promoting Buddhism and purifying all sentient beings, this temple specially held this temple fair, so that all donors can pay homage to the miracles and share the merits."

There was not a lot of applause below, and it was clear that the influence of the Shaolin Temple had not yet subsided, and among the people present, there were also a considerable number of people who thought that the miracles of the Fawang Temple were not credible.

Likong continued: "The miracle came, the four sides shook, but the miracle is given by the Buddha, by no means idle, in recent days, rumors have spread in the Shaolin Mountain, some small sects also vainly claim to get the Buddha's miracles, it is really ridiculous, in order to avoid the spread of this situation, to avoid the people being deceived, the poor monks pray to the Buddha day and night, so that the miracle comes, today is to let you share the merits, but also let everyone be vigilant, do not continue to be blinded by some ulterior motives."

After King Likong's words were finished, some people below disagreed, and said loudly: "Abbot Likong, we are in Shaolin Temple, we have seen miracles with our own eyes, there is no pagoda on the first day, there is a mountain gate on the second day, there is no mountain gate on the first night, and there is a bell tower on the second day, and the bell tower descends, but many of our villagers have seen it with their own eyes, it is absolutely not fake, how can it be said to be fake?"

Without waiting for Likong to answer, Li Xuan opened his mouth: "This benefactor, it must be the little monk of Shaolin Temple who asked you to come, it's ridiculous, this kind of thing is actually believed, that one precept, but just a hairy boy who is not proficient in Buddhism, Shaolin Temple's days are going to be uncovered, he has no choice but to run out to borrow money to live, in order to repay the loan, and came up with this method to deceive the people, the Buddha's miracles have never been heard of for thousands of years, how can it easily descend to the mortal world, it's ridiculous!".

The people below were unhappy and said loudly: "Then why do you say that your Mahavira Hall is a miracle, and we haven't seen it coming, maybe you secretly built it."

Li Xuan's attack on the Shaolin Temple has caused many people to be dissatisfied, because there are indeed people who have witnessed the miracles of Shaolin, and in their hearts, the Shaolin Temple is already a holy place, how can they easily let the other party slander them.

A rhetorical question made Li Xuan speechless, and his face was flushed.

Guan Shanyue looked at it happily below, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Senior Brother Abbot, justice is in the hearts of the people!"

Huo Yuanzhen also smiled, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake, they can't live because of their own sin, after today, Fawang Temple will become history."

At this time, the old monk Lizhi of the Great Xiangguo Temple stood up and said to the below: "Amitabha, the old monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple is wise, and the old man can guarantee that the miracles of the Fawang Temple are absolutely true."

Just said this, the old monk Li Zhi sat down, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked like an old monk in a settled position.

The name Daxiangguo Temple is still very mysterious and unattainable for ordinary people.

Although many people believe that the miracles of Shaolin Temple are real, they do not dare to say that the miracles of Fawang Temple are fake, and it is possible that both aspects are true.

Many people who still wanted to refute were also silent, after all, this old monk of Lizhi seemed to have some Taoism, and what he said should be credible.

Seeing that the old monk Li Zhi controlled the scene with a word, King Likong was happy, but he didn't dare to debate with the people for the time being, and instead said something to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had been waiting for this time for a long time, and when he heard what Li Kong said, he immediately stood up and said to the following: "Today, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple also came to the temple, and the abbot of the Shaolin Temple did not understand some things, and wanted to ask the abbot of the first ring in person."

With Li Xuan's gaze, everyone looked together and saw Huo Yuanzhen sitting in the guest seat.

"I can't wait", Huo Yuanzhen sneered in his heart, but he still stood up and said to Li Xuan: "I don't know if Master Li Xuan has anything to ask the abbot, just ask if you don't understand."

Do you want to take the poor monk with a knife? I'm afraid your knife is not so fast.
