Chapter 498: Senior Brother Abbot
In terms of strength, no matter how powerful the Ximen family is, it is only a martial arts family, and it is impossible to compare with a behemoth like the "Pure Land True Sect".
But the problem is that the Ximen family is backed by the "Reincarnation Temple", which is the number one force in Buddhism that is even higher than the "Pure Land Sect"!
As a half-step innate martial artist, the Yuandao monk is already a top existence in the Great Black Tide Region, even if his combat power is considered to be the bottom level in the half-step congenital, but how to say that it is also a half-step congenital, and his status in the "Liantai Temple" is still very high.
The abbot in the temple is of the same generation as him, he is his senior brother, and he is also a half-step innate martial artist, but whether it is combat effectiveness or qualifications, it is not comparable to Yuandao.
Yuandao took Chen Mu to the outside of the abbot's room and advised: "You wait outside for a while, I'll go in and make a report, and if the abbot summons you later, then remember not to talk nonsense after you go in, and answer whatever you ask, remember?"
Chen Mu nodded: "Remember." ”
said so, but he felt a little disappreciative in his heart, thinking about it, not long ago, he was still a genuine innate martial artist, and his combat power was also a master in the congenital.
As a result, now that the tiger is falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, he is only half-step innate, and he can pretend to be forced in front of himself openly, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
But there is no way, after all, the gap in strength is here, even if the tiger falls into Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, Chen Mu can only endure it temporarily, and everything now is to recover his strength as soon as possible.
Of course, the best way is to get Yuan Energy, the more the better, but this thing is not easy to say, he has not found any items with Yuan Energy so far, so he can only continue to hibernate.
Putting aside what Chen Mu thought outside, let's talk about the Yuandao monk first, he knocked on the door and entered the abbot's room.
The abbot was dressed in a crimson robe, and he was obviously the senior brother of the Yuandao monk, but he looked younger than the Yuandao monk, unsmiling, and very majestic.
"Yuandao, what's the matter?"
"Uh, Senior Brother Qiqi Abbot......"
Balabala said that the Yuandao monk had made everything clear, and there was nothing to hide, and he didn't dare to hide anything.
For the abbot brother in front of him, Yuandao was very jealous, and it could even be said that he was afraid.
The reason is also very simple, this abbot is not a good person, don't look at everyone is a monk, but not all monks are kind characters, there are also ruthless people.
And if you want to talk about being ruthless, this abbot is definitely the first person in the "Liantai Temple", if he thinks he is second, then absolutely no one dares to say that he is the first.
This is also a very normal thing, the Buddhism in the wasteland is not a charity, but a great alliance of forces in a sense, but nominally they are all the same faith, but in fact, it is still a violent group in the wasteland.
It's not that there are no Buddhist forces that are biased towards pure faith, but they are definitely a very small minority, and forces like "Liantai Temple" that are close to the frontline area are basically hawks who tend to prioritize martial arts.
Otherwise, if you don't have enough combat power, it is impossible to gain a foothold in this kind of place, or look at the entire wasteland world, which is also a cruel and abnormal law of the jungle, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle here, and there is no possibility of harmonious coexistence at all.
It's the same within the various forces, the competition is everywhere, and it's very fierce, from the old super big forces like the Ou Huang and the Guer King family, to the small groups of three or five people of nomads, they all speak according to their strength, and there is no virtue of modesty and harmony.
If you have strength and skill, you can survive and ascend to the top, otherwise you can only be subservient to others, or even worse, that is, you will survive and even die without a corpse.
The Yuandao monk has been mixed for so many years, so he naturally knows the rules of the game very well, thinking that at the beginning, he and the abbot in front of him are also characters of the same generation, and naturally it can be said that it is a reluctant competitive relationship.
And among that group of people, there are many people vying for the abbot position, and there are even those who are stronger than the current one in terms of strength, potential, and background.
But after fighting for each other, going through bloody storms and undercurrents, it was the one in front of him who finally sat in this position.
Almost more than half of those who dared to fight him died, and the grave grass that died early was a few feet high, and those who did not die either bowed low and became small, or went into exile, but so far no one has been able to threaten the position of this abbot.
He has been sitting in this position for twelve years, not to mention that he is as stable as Mount Tai, it is almost the same, and looking at his physical condition, it is estimated that he can sit for more than ten years, and there is no question of a successor in the short term.
In this case, the prestige of this abbot brother in the temple is naturally becoming more and more profound, and it has reached the level of a complete Yiyan Hall in recent years.
Originally, according to the routine rules of the "Liantai Temple", under the abbot, there are several high-powered roles, such as the protector of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the first seat of the Dharma Academy, and the master of the Demon Suppression Palace, which are all very powerful positions.
Even in many cases, these characters are big people who can compete with the abbot, and if they are united, then it is not impossible to suppress and elevate the abbot.
But under the operation, division, co-optation, and suppression of this abbot, the authority of these characters is not as good as day by day, and the previous strong characters died, injured, and fled, and those who stayed and replaced, they were all obedient, and there was no difference between a dog and a dog.
So today, the authority of the entire "Liantai Temple" has almost been controlled by this abbot alone, and there is no different voice at all, and no one dares to shout, and everyone who dares to kneel.
The Yuandao monk is a timid person, originally in the abbot competition that year, he was also a powerful and potential seed player, and he was also a descendant of the previous abbot, so he can be said to be a popular candidate for succession.
Of course, he is not the only popular candidate, and his ranking is not very high, but he is much higher than the abbot brother in front of him.
Back then, this abbot was basically the bottom figure, and no one could have imagined that he would be able to take over, and no one would take him seriously.
But just when those popular characters were fighting openly and secretly, making a bloody storm, this abbot brother was silent, secretly crossing Chen Cang, and finally suddenly rose to prominence and became a super dark horse who had the last laugh.
The monk of Yuandao was timid because of his timidity, even if he took the initiative to give up the competition for the position of abbot at the beginning, in the end, it was a blessing in disguise, at least he survived, and now he is even more in awe of this abbot brother to the bones.
