Chapter 3207
"Yu … Yu …" Just as Monk Ming Yue was bowing, not only did the donkey cart not stop, it even sped up. Yuan Ya hurriedly pulled on the reins of the lame donkey and shouted loudly, wanting to stop the donkey cart!
Yuan Ya's strength was extremely great. "Slurp …" The reins caused great pain to the lame donkey. It couldn't help but raise its front legs and neighed loudly. It sounded … as if it was replying to Monk Ming Yue's words.
The donkey cart's sudden movement caused the people on the cart to lose their balance. Xiao Jian stood on the cart and couldn't help but stagger. He jumped off the donkey cart and landed on the ground. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. I'm just a small Daoist and can't represent my Daoism. But today, for the survival of my Daoism, I still dare to pay a visit to Xiao Jin Temple!"
Xiao Jian's voice wasn't soft, but it was hard to hear because of the donkey's neighing.
"Go to hell!"
Yuan Ya, who was holding the reins, saw the lame donkey struggling and couldn't help but get angry. He shook the reins and jumped off the cart, kicking the lame donkey's butt.
Yuan Ya's strength was extremely great. "Slurp", the lame donkey cried out in pain. It was kicked to the side of the mountain path by Yuan Ya, and fell to the ground along with the cart!
Xiao Hua, who was sitting cross-legged at the back of the cart, calmly jumped off the cart. Although his figure was strong and healthy, one couldn't see anything special about him.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Jian originally had the look of an expert as he politely bowed to Zen Master Ming Yue. When he saw this, his expression changed drastically as he cursed, "Ya, this is the donkey cart that I borrowed from the tea house at the foot of the mountain!
This donkey is worth a lot of money. If you break it, how am I going to compensate the tea house's boss? "
Hearing this, Yuan Ya didn't say anything. Monk Ming Yue's face turned green. He glanced at Ming Cheng, who understood and said with a smile, "Daoist Xiao, don't bother about the donkey cart. Let's hurry up the mountain.
It's already late, the Immortal Buddha Ceremony should start!
The competition on the stage has already made people look forward to it! "
"Aiyo, that's right!"
When Xiao Jian heard this, he came to his senses and shouted, "That's right, Ya. Hurry and move the donkey cart to the side. In a while, you will be competing with these monks on stage!
Remember, since we came here today, we don't plan to go back!
After we get the arena, we will take this Little Gold Temple under our Jiangchao Temple!
Is this a donkey cart?
It's fine if you don't want it! "
"Master ~" On the other side, Yuan Ya had already raised the donkey cart with one hand. The lame donkey was also obedient now. It shyly moved to Yuan Ya's side and actually licked his hand!
Unfortunately, Yuan Ya slapped the donkey's head to the side and answered Xiao Jian, "This donkey cart is worth a few coins. Although Xiao Jin Temple has some copper coins, we can't live extravagantly!"
"You …" Zen Master Ming Yue was so angry that his nose was about to become crooked. He looked around and saw that there weren't many villagers from Longevity Town. Thus, he sneered, "Xiao Jian, are you daydreaming?
Do you think this Penniless Monk doesn't know what you and your disciple are capable of?
You, a new Daoist disciple, want to chase this poor monk away from Longevity Town? "
"Hehe, why don't we wait and see?"
Xiao Jian laughed loudly, "However, this old man feels that you should ask Ming Fa about this. He seems to be more confident than you!"
"This Penniless Monk only knows that he can give you a black eye!"
Ming Fa's gaze naturally avoided Xiao Hua. He coldly looked at Xiao Jian and shouted, "If you have the ability, why don't you come to the arena with this Penniless Monk?"
"Haha, of course. In a while, I will see you on the arena!"
Xiao Jian waved his hand and looked at the crowd in the distance. He smiled and said, "Ming Yue, why aren't you bringing this Penniless Monk to the arena?
Is this how your Little Gold Temple treats its guests? "
"Hmph …" Zen Master Ming Yue gritted his teeth hatefully. However, he still put his palms together and said, "Amitabha. Daoist Xiao has come like this!"
As he spoke, he took the monk's staff from Ming Cheng and led the way without looking back. He led Xiao Jian and the other two up the mountain path.
In the sky, Xing Chen was flying in front. When he saw the faces of Mo Jianli and the others, he unconsciously narrowed his eyes. These people's cultivation was about the same as his, but Mo Jianli was obviously much younger than him. The Hidden Immortal Continent was indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
However, when he thought of Ling Chen's powerful Buddhist awareness that made him feel suffocated, he sneered in his heart. He stopped in mid-air, put his palms together and saluted, "Xing Chen of the Cloud Forest Temple and my three junior brothers, Xing Kong, Xing Min, and Xing Fan, greet fellow immortals of Confucian cultivation!"
"We don't dare!"
Mo Jianli was originally behind Zhu Junfeng. When he saw that it was not Ming Yue who flew out of the Little Gold Temple, but an old monk with Second Stage Elemental Energy, he immediately flew out from behind Zhu Junfeng and bowed, "I am Mo Jianli of the Chongyun Sect. I bring my three junior nephews, Qiu Jian, Li Mo Ming, and Ji Dong, as well as Zhu Junfeng and Tai 'an of the Longevity Academy. Greetings, fellow immortals of the Cloud Forest Temple!"
When the Confucian cultivators and the Buddhist cultivators met, they greeted each other and exchanged greetings. Zhu Junfeng looked at Zen Master Ming Yue who was leading Xiao Jian up the mountain gate of the Little Gold Temple and the villagers below the stage. He took half a step forward and said respectfully, "I am Zhu Junfeng of the Longevity Academy. On behalf of the Longevity Academy, I welcome senior to the Longevity Town to participate in the Immortal Buddha Ceremony!"
"Haha, Junior Zhu!"
Xing Chen smiled and said, "I have heard of Principal Zhu's name before I came to the Longevity Town. In these few years, the Longevity Academy has not only supported the Little Gold Temple, but also sent out students to help the Little Gold Temple today. That's why Ming Yue did not make a fool of herself. On behalf of the Cloud Forest Temple, I have to thank the Longevity Academy!
Seeing that the Immortals and Buddhists of the Longevity Town are getting along so well, in ten or twenty years, I will still come to the Longevity Town to participate in the Immortal Buddha Ceremony! "
"Haha, if senior is so considerate, the Longevity Academy will invite senior to the Longevity Town to participate in the Immortal Buddha Ceremony every ten years!" Zhu Junfeng said with a smile.
"Yes, that's how it should be!"
Xing Chen also clapped his hands. "In the future, every ten years, I will also ask Ming Yue to send an invitation to fellow immortal Mo. You and I will come together!"
"Haha, well said, well said!"
Mo Jianli did not like to argue with Xingchen. He laughed dryly and looked at Xiao Jian, who had not yet reached the mountain gate. He waved his hand and said, "Martial Nephew Junfeng, you go ahead with Martial Nephew Mingyue and hold the Immortal Buddha Ceremony. I have a few words with Fellow Immortal Xingchen."
"Yes, Junior Uncle!"
Zhu Junfeng agreed and cupped his hands at Xing Chen and the others. Then, he flew through the crowd with Mr. Tai 'an and landed on the arena.
"Greetings, Sir!"
As soon as Zhu Junfeng and Mr. Tai 'an landed, hundreds of disciples shouted in unison. It was such a spectacular sight that a few people almost collapsed on the ground.
"Haha, you have worked hard!"
Zhu Junfeng was as elegant as jade. He raised his hand and gestured to his surroundings. From the looks of it, he was even more like an abbot than Zen Master Ming Yue!
"President Zhu …" A loud voice came from below the arena. "I haven't seen you in a long time!
I heard that the Tidal River Temple will be challenging the Xiao Jin Temple and the Longevity Academy today. You won't be joining in, will you? "
"Haha, so it's Shopkeeper Zhang!"
Zhu Junfeng glanced at him and said kindly, "It's just a spar. I'm afraid it's not my turn to fight!
Of course, if you need me to fight, I will not be stingy!
I will not hide anything!
Because my Longevity Academy is Longevity Town's academy, Longevity Academy's students are Longevity Town's students, this Zhu is also a citizen of Longevity Town! "
"Good, good, well said!"
Before Zhu Junfeng's voice landed, countless applause and cheers rang out. Many of the villagers who had never seen the methods of Confucianism before looked at Zhu Junfeng with pious eyes. They had long regarded Zhu Junfeng as an immortal who had descended to the mortal world.
At this moment, Zen Master Ming Yue had already arrived at the mountain gate. He had already heard Zhu Junfeng's words, and the anger in his heart was even more depressing than when he heard Xiao Jian's arrogant words. If Zen Master Ming Yue's nose was crooked from anger just now, he would be fuming with rage right now!
Zhu Junfeng's words and the Xiao Jin Temple's efforts were covered up. Wasn't the Xiao Jin Temple doing all the work for others?
Who was the abbot of the Xiao Jin Temple?
Unfortunately, Zen Master Ming Yue could not get angry. He could only put on a fake smile and wait patiently for the pig-like Xiao Jian to catch up.
"Martial Uncle Xingchen's words last night … were right!"
At this moment, Zen Master Ming Yue was completely convinced. He originally thought that since Changsheng Academy was a Confucian cultivator, they would at least know more about etiquette than Jiang Chao Temple. However, now that they had shown their etiquette, it was clear what they were thinking.
"Of course …" Zhu Junfeng raised his hand again and smiled. "Today, Xiao Jin Temple is hosting the ceremony. Longevity Academy is also here as a guest.
On behalf of Longevity Academy, I would like to thank the Buddhist Sect, the disciples of Xiao Jin Temple, and Zen Master Ming Yue for your hard work and effort! "
"Amitabha, Buddha is merciful!"
Fortunately, although the 85 or so monks' chants were not as loud as Longevity Academy's, they were still uniform. It was obvious that they had practiced this countless times.
"Amitabha …" Many of the villagers who came to participate in the ceremony were also devotees of Xiao Jin Temple. There were even some who had been instructed by Zen Master Ming Yue many times. When they heard the monks speak, they naturally echoed.
The entire scene was finally harmonious in Zen Master Ming Yue's eyes.
"Buddha is merciful …" At this moment, Zen Master Ming Yue had just reached the mountain gate. He lightly tapped the staff in his hand and activated the telekinesis in his body. An extremely faint cloud appeared under the staff and wrapped around Zen Master Ming Yue's feet. Then, as Zen Master Ming Yue raised his hand and lowered his head to chant Buddha's name, he slowly flew toward the arena.
"Buddha is merciful …" Zen Master Ming Yue usually did not reveal his Buddhist cultivation. When he suddenly flew from the mountain gate to the arena, many devotees were stunned. Then, a commotion broke out. In just a moment, many people lowered their heads and chanted Buddha's name with Zen Master Ming Yue.
