Chapter 216 Chaos in the main hall
No matter how angry the little turtle is, his roar is still very small.
Xiaoxi and the others simply ignored the screams.
What is the right way to temporarily pretend to be a monster?
Beichen searched around in his storage space, and when the canteen was receiving goods this morning, he conveniently collected the fine mesh bag containing vegetables.
This fits.
He put the little turtle in a fine mesh bag and wanted to collect it when it was still a little novice monk in human form.
The little novice monk who turned out to be a shrimp cried.
"Two adults, let me go, I didn't do anything bad! Why should I be the one counting the money? I can't get a penny, good things can't happen to me, and I can't be spared from accompanying you to death?"
The little turtle roared in the net bag, telling the little novice to shut up, but it was not a deterrent at all.
Little novice will not kill it, please Xiao Xi and Beichen not to kill it.
Seeing that there were no traces of murder on the little novice monk, Xiao Xi agreed to let it return to the sea afterward.
So the little novice monk started talking.
They, the sea tribe, were living a good life. One day, the big sea turtles went crazy and forced them to come ashore and occupied Guangde Temple.
The monks of Guangde Temple were dying, not to mention the abbot, the great monk Huifang, was also killed.
They invaded Guangde Temple and the incense became more prosperous.
Devoted men and women should offer large amounts of sesame oil money. Only those who have given large sums of money are eligible to enter the main hall to burn incense and kneel down to worship.
Other poor people can only kneel and worship outside the fence of the main hall.
Zhazhaqian is not allowed to stuff the merit box, saying that it occupies the place of the merit box.
What little novice monk Xiazi does every day is to serve the big turtle and help it count its money.
Xiao Xi asked the novice monk again if she didn't understand something.
Why are turtles crazy?
The turtle is bewitched by the big devil and is willing to sacrifice his life for him. What exactly does the big devil look like? The turtles themselves don't even know.
The reason why the incense in Guangde Temple suddenly became popular is that the big devil asked Guangde Temple to print New Year pictures.
Today happened to be the day when Big Turtle held a Dharma conference, so I collected a large sum of money in the morning.
They will also hold a New Year painting auction in the afternoon.
Fortunately, Guangde Temple only took out the New Year pictures for the faithful men and women to see.
This hunger marketing was really well done. All the faithful men and women wanted to get the New Year pictures, so they finally waited until the afternoon auction session.
Only then did Xiao Xi roughly know what was going on.
It turns out that the workmanship of the paintings this year was complicated, and the first batch of paintings were completed and handed over to the fox demon Yao Tai, so that they could be circulated on the market.
Then the second wave of New Year paintings will be auctioned in the afternoon.
"Where is the printing workshop? Take us there!"
The little novice monk Xiazi said weakly: "The division of labor is different, and I don't know the specific location."
"Then you lead the way and take us to the main hall first!"
They left the small monastery and Yan Mo jumped down from the tree.
She didn't know that her husband followed Xiao Xi into the Zen monastery, and the couple became rich.
It was unusually quiet along the way. It seemed that the monks were either in the main hall in front or in the printing workshop.
Suddenly there was a sound of dog barking, and it turned out that Zha Zhacheng and Yu Qiu and the others had gone deep into Guangde Temple.
Judging from Zha Zhacheng's excited look, he must have found a place where New Year pictures are printed.
Xiao Xi and Yu Qiu met, and Zha Zhacheng shouted to a courtyard, "Minister, the New Year pictures are inside."
A group of them rushed in immediately.
Sure enough, it was a printing workshop. When the monks inside saw someone intruding, they just made a move when they were swarmed by Bei Chen, Yu Qiu and others and subdued them all.
It turned out that they were all crabs and clams, so Beichen packed them all in a net bag.
Xiao Xi looked carefully at the printing workshop.
The process of making New Year pictures by these monks is quite cumbersome, including painting steps, rigid steps, etc.
There is also the post-printing part of sealing the demons, because there are a lot of bats hanging upside down in an iron cage.
How to deal with these New Year paintings and bats?
Of course Xiao Xi set fire to everything.
In order to prevent the temple from burning down, Xiao Xi set up a barrier. All these New Year pictures were burned to ashes by the red lotus fire in the barrier, and the bats were also burned to death.
The exterior structure of the workshop is still intact, but the interior is completely burned to black charcoal, including the basement, which is in a mess.
The little novice monk Xiazi was trembling with fear: They are all ruthless people. Fortunately, they recognized the situation just now and turned against the enemy quickly.
It calmed its mind and said, "Adults, there is another painting on the main hall. I will take you there with me!"
Main Hall of Guangde Temple.
There were densely packed futons, and on each futon sat a religious man and woman.
The ventilation conditions in the main hall are really poor because there are too many people, which makes breathing difficult.
The faithful men and women are looking forward to it, why hasn’t Master Huifang appeared yet? The auction cannot be held without the masters coming. Why are they still rushing to get New Year paintings?
Suddenly there was a sound of dogs barking, and everyone saw a group of strange people rushing out from the back door of the hall.
Before they could react, a little girl jumped on the desk, took out a Guan Gong knife, and chopped into pieces the New Year pictures that everyone had been admiring all morning.
The New Year pictures suddenly spurted out blood, contaminating the flowers and fruits on the table.
The entire hall was filled with a disgusting stench.
"What is she doing? She destroyed the sacred painting!"
"Amitabha, sin, sin!"
"Let's call the police!"
The faithful men and women finally understood what had happened and started shouting angrily.
Xiao Xi stood on the desk and looked down at everyone.
"The master you admire is not coming? You have all been deceived at this auction!"
A highly respected master of Chinese studies among the faithful men and women stood up angrily.
"The little girl is so hateful at a young age. Don't talk nonsense here. What kind of auction? This is our sacred painting's joyful merit ceremony."
"I don't care what kind of auction you have, whether it's the Suixi Merit Dharma Ceremony, it won't be held today anyway." Xiao Xi laughed.
Her smiling face angered the master of Chinese studies.
"Everyone, listen to me. I am Zheng Qian, the master of Chinese studies. Tie up these gangsters who destroyed our sacred paintings and hand them over to the police!"
When Zheng Qian shouted, the faithful men and women in the hall immediately rushed towards Xiao Xi and the others, taking advantage of the large number of people.
Beichen, Yu Qiu, and Zha Zhacheng all jumped on the table.
Su Linran shouted in panic, "Everyone, calm down and don't be impulsive! We are the relevant departments here to investigate the case."
But his words were drowned in the angry roars of the crowd.
Xiao Xi knew that at this time, it was more important to stay calm and refrain from violence. They were cultivators of immortality, and hurting ordinary people would be detrimental to their merits and it was not worth it.
She immediately released the barrier, and the people seemed to be enveloped in a ball of light.
Xiao Xi and the others were okay for a while, but when the faithful men and women rushed up, a stampede occurred.
People went crazy and the hall was in chaos.
Yu Qiu immediately released the vines, picked up the weak people who were trampled, and threw them out of the crowd.
Xiao Xi was furious. She didn't expect these people to be deceived so seriously that they all lost their minds.
She unleashed her intimidating force.
"Are you still a master of Chinese studies? You are deliberately causing riots. The monks in Guangde Temple have all been replaced. You are almost dead!"
Zheng Qian sneered, "It was you who destroyed our sacred paintings first, and now you are so sharp-tongued that you are knocking them down. You will all suffer retribution!"
Strong hatred burst into his heart.
Suddenly, he was speechless and his body, filled with rage, seemed to be suppressed by a jack and unable to move.
Others in the hall felt the same as Zheng Qian, being overwhelmed by a strong force.
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
Xiao Xi also didn't expect that her intimidation would shatter all the glass in the hall.
Among the Arhats worshiped on both sides of the hall, a statue fell down.
