Chapter 360: Angry out of shame

At the entrance of the True Buddha Temple, the old abbot looked solemn.

The True Buddha Temple, which is usually full of incense, seemed particularly deserted today.

Zhao Xinyan rushed over and grabbed the old abbot as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Master, didn't you say you would help me exorcise Su Ming? Why haven't you done anything yet?"

The old abbot sighed and looked at Zhao Xinyan's haggard face, "How come you have become like this after not seeing you for a few days?"

"It's all because of Su Ming." Zhao Xinyan gritted her teeth in hatred, "It's all because of him that made me like this!"

The old abbot sighed, "I am now a clay Buddha crossing the river, and I can't protect myself. Although I took back the True Buddha Temple, I don't know why those pilgrims only recognize Mingtai and now they don't come to burn incense."

"Didn't you promise to help me?" Seeing that the old abbot didn't want to help her, Zhao Xinyan's voice trembled slightly.

"I promised you, but now no one comes to the True Buddha Temple to burn incense. I have difficulty even eating. How can I help you?" The old abbot said impatiently.

Zhao Xinyan felt cold in her heart, and she could tell that the old monk was asking her for money.

This old thing, he doesn't keep his word!

She cursed in her heart, but her brain was working fast.

"Wait a minute, as long as more people come to the True Buddha Temple to burn incense, you can help me?" She grabbed the old abbot who was about to turn back to the temple and asked hurriedly.

The old abbot sneered, "You say that easily. Now the pilgrims regard Mingtai as the spokesperson of the little living Buddha and don't believe me at all. Unless Mingtai comes back, how can anyone come out to burn incense?"

"If others don't believe it, why don't you make them believe it?" Zhao Xinyan smiled confidently and approached the old abbot.

Soon, the news that the abbot of the True Buddha Temple was blessed by the little living Buddha and was about to ascend to heaven began to spread on the Internet.

At first, some people still doubted it, but as more and more people spread the news, many people began to return to the True Buddha Temple to burn incense and pray.

Some people even paid a lot of money to ask the old abbot to perform rituals before he passed away.

Mingtai, who was driven out, saw that the old abbot began to make money in the name of the young living Buddha again, and he was furious. Taking advantage of the large number of pilgrims in the True Buddha Temple, he stood at the door of the True Buddha Temple and shouted despite the obstruction of a group of monks.

"Don't believe him! They are not blessed by the young living Buddha at all!"

Some pilgrims were attracted by his voice.

"Isn't that Abbot Mingtai? What's going on?"

"I thought Abbot Mingtai was sick and hadn't shown up for so many days, but it doesn't look like that?"

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you stopping Abbot Mingtai!"

Mingtai immediately shouted, "They were the monks from the True Buddha Temple before. They stole the fragments of the little living Buddha's golden body and ran away. Later, they came back together for the money and forced me out of the temple!"

"Don't believe them! They are not blessed by the little living Buddha at all!"

Hearing this, the pilgrims were immediately angry and stepped forward to protect Mingtai.

The old abbot, wearing a cassock, walked out of the temple calmly, looking dignified and respectable, and said to everyone.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I was not feeling well before, so I temporarily handed over Zhenfo Temple to Mingtai. Who knew he would secretly meet female pilgrims under the guise of temporary abbot, breaking the precepts of chastity. I had no choice but to drive him out of the temple."

"What?" The pilgrims who were originally prepared to protect Mingtai immediately stepped aside after hearing this.

"He broke the vow of chastity and betrayed the trust of the young living Buddha, who had abandoned him long ago." The old abbot said with a look of heartache, "It's my fault that I taught such a disciple. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."

Mingtai listened to him distorting right and wrong, and his anger rose in his heart, "You are talking nonsense! I have never broken the vow of chastity! But you have used the name of the young living Buddha to cheat money more than once or twice! You are the big liar!"

The pilgrims also did not believe that Mingtai would break the vow, and said strangely, "Before I came to burn incense, I asked Abbot Mingtai to recite sutras for me. I had a headache before, but it was better after listening to the sutras."

"Yes, after listening to Abbot Mingtai's recitation, I did better in the exams every time."

"You mean Abbot Mingtai broke the vow of chastity Jie, do you have any evidence? You can't just say something and we will believe you, right? "

"Before, I asked Abbot Mingtai to be the master of the ritual. He didn't ask for money. As long as we donated a threshold or a Buddha statue to the temple, it would be fine. In your hands, a ritual will cost tens of thousands. I still believe in Abbot Mingtai."

The old abbot raised his hand, "Since I said so, of course there is evidence. There are clothes of the female pilgrim he met secretly in Mingtai's meditation room. We monks can't touch them, so I haven't moved his meditation room. You can go and have a look together."

Under his leadership, the crowd entered Mingtai's meditation room and saw a set of clothes worn by a woman, even underwear.

"Huh~ How come this underwear is still worn." A pilgrim looked carefully and said with some disgust.

"It's so disgusting, but this room is really the meditation room of Abbot Mingtai." Another pilgrim also pinched his nose and said.

"Even if this is Abbot Mingtai's meditation room, it doesn't prove that this set of clothes has anything to do with Abbot Mingtai, right?" A pilgrim who believed in Abbot Mingtai questioned.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a young girl stood up, covering her face and crying, "Abbot Mingtai touched my thighs and buttocks when I was burning incense before, and told me that he was blessing me, wuwuwu."

"You! You are talking nonsense!" Mingtai turned his head and recognized that the girl was one of the people who stole the fragments of the little living Buddha's golden body before.

After she stole the fragments of the little living Buddha's golden body, her test scores plummeted. Even though she returned the fragments later, without the blessing of the little living Buddha, her grades were still at the bottom and she did not pass the test she had prepared for for a long time.

This was the punishment she deserved, but she did not expect him to resent her for it.

"And me, he also touched me before, but I was afraid that the little living Buddha would be angry, so I did not dare to say it." Another woman also stood up.

Her situation was exactly the same as the girl's.

They were all people who were disliked by the little living Buddha.

Zhao Xinyan stood in the crowd and deliberately said loudly, "How could a woman use her innocence to slander others? What they said must be true. I did not expect that Abbot Mingtai would be such a person. It's disgusting."

Guided by her words, the pilgrims who originally believed in Mingtai also began to retreat and moved a little further away from Mingtai.

"How can you talk nonsense? Aren't you afraid of retribution for slandering me like this?" Mingtai was speechless and asked angrily.

But the angrier he got, the more pitiful the two women cried.

In contrast, everyone felt that Mingtai was getting angry and ashamed, and they all accused him.
