Seating hall.

While Jiang Qing and others were having meals, a "crackling" sound suddenly came into their ears, as if someone had thrown all the plates and bowls to the ground.

When the monks in the kitchen heard the movement, they stood up.

"The sound came from outside, go out and take a look!"

Jiang Qing said, and walked out of the kitchen hall first. Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and others followed immediately.

When he walked out of the dining hall, Jiang Qing saw five children in their 10-year-olds playing with a chubby monk, with plates and bowls all over the ground.

Obviously, they made the previous sounds.

"Stop, wait until I catch you, you must look good!" the fat monk shouted in anger.

"Damn it, it's five of them!"

Zhan Zhao said hatefully, then shouted: "Senior Brother Fourth, I'll help you!" As he spoke, he rushed towards the five children.

After a fight, they captured one of the children.

Bao Zheng asked, "Zhan Zhao, who are they?"

Zhan Zhao said: "They are local gangsters, known as the Five Rats. They often go to our Xiangguo Temple to steal things. I have been caught twice. The guy who was caught is Bai Yutang, and he calls himself a Jinmao! These little ghosts are not old and even nicknames from others."

"Little kid? You are a few years younger than them, and you speak so old-fashionedly." Ling Chuchu knocked on Zhan Zhao's little bald head and said, "Does their parents care about them stealing?"

Zhan Zhao said: "They are all orphans, so no one cares about it."

Ling Chuchu said: "That's how they are very pitiful. No one supports them, so they have to go and steal things."

Zhan Zhao said: "Orphans don't have to steal things, they are bad in nature."

Just as they were chatting, Jiekong said viciously: "Boy, I finally caught it. I must teach you a lesson."

Bao Zheng made a smooth move and said, "Master, these children are also hungry, so they will come up with this bad decision. Why not let him apologize to you, and you can let them go."

Before Jiekong could speak, Jinmao Maimao screamed first: "I, Jinmao Maimao, will not apologize to him at all. Actually, I am not hungry at all, I am just having fun with these monks."

The five rats are all orphans. They grew up in the cold eyes of others, which led to their excessive self-esteem and their worst mercy.

Jie Kong said angrily: "I heard it, he is hopeless at all. Smile brat, you are seeking death by yourself today."

Just as Jiekong was about to teach him a lesson, Master Yanhui came over and said, "Jiekong, let him go."

"Master, you don't know, they..."

"You need to say nothing, I know."

Before Jiekong finished speaking, Yan Hui interrupted his words and said to Jinmaoshi: "Little donor, if you have anything to do in the future, just talk and don't do such bad behavior. You should know that big evil and big evil starts with small things, so don't do it because of small evil. Don't steal things again in the future. There are food and rice in the temple, you can come and eat it at any time."

Jiekong said angrily: "Master, not only will he not catch them, but he will also let them eat and drink for free!"

Master Yanhui said: "Precautions are empty, monks should not act rashly and ignorant."

The Jinmao Rat shouted: "I won't even know how to eat if you invite me to eat. I don't care about the smelly rice here. The monks here smell bad, and the rice they make is also smelly!"

Jie Kong angrily scolded at the Jinmao Mouse: "What are you talking nonsense? Don't think that the master is protecting you..."

"Jie Kong!" Master Yan Hui shouted softly and said, "Take the little donor out of the temple."

...

After eating, several people settled in the east wing.

The next morning, Zhan Zhao called them up and told them a very exciting news: "Someone is here to pick our place!"

When Jiang Qing and others followed Zhan Zhao to the Main Hall, most of the monks in the temple had gathered in the hall.

Yan Hui presided over the head of a lama with a three-meter-high gold statue of Buddha.

According to Zhan Zhao, this lama is called Bodhidharma. He is a monk from Tubo in the Western Regions. This time he came to Xiangguo Temple to challenge it, called debating Buddhism.

Master Wudao and Governor Hang Tianbao Hang sat on the right side of the Buddhist temple, next to Master Yanhui.

Jieyi, Jiechen and Jiexian are the disciples of Master Yanhui, who are sitting on the left side of the Buddhist temple.

The other monks sat neatly in the middle of the Buddhist temple, just like when they were doing morning classes.

Jiang Qing and others found a corner to sit down. When they came in, Master Bodhidharma had already begun to debate Buddhism with the monks. Monks of the precept generation expressed their opinions and argued with Bodhidharma, but their Buddhist practice was not good enough, and they were obviously at a disadvantage.

At this time, Bao Zheng couldn't bear to watch it, so he strode forward and turned his wisdom into the Dharma with his three-inch tongue.

"There are indeed many capable people in the Middle Earth. I admire them, admire them." Bodhidharma did not get angry and smiled generously. "Today I have the little donor explain the Dharma, and I really benefited a lot!"

"You are polite. Tomorrow is the ceremony that will be held by our temple again. If the master has no priorities, I want to ask the master to stay and participate in our ceremony. I wonder if the master is interested?" Yan Hui said.

"Okay, I just happened to see the ceremony of the world's largest temple!" Bodhidharma said with laughter. He made an agreement with Jie Yi that the purpose of coming here was to participate in the presidency of the re-election ceremony and secretly support him to become the new presidency.

At this moment, a little novice fan ran in panic and shouted: "Host, host, it's a big deal! Uncle Jie Kong, Uncle Jie Kong... has returned to the west!"

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.

Master Yanhui immediately asked someone to carry Jie Kong's body over.

Jiang Qing went up to check and said, "Master Jiekong's death was caused by internal organs breaking and heavy bleeding. There were many abrasions and fractures on his body. According to my speculation, Master Jiekong should have died from falling off the cliff, and the time of death was between the You hour and the Xu hour yesterday."

Master Yan Hui chanted the Buddha's name and then asked the monk who found Jie Kong's corpse: "What the hell is going on?"

The little monk who found Jie Kong's corpse was named Mingde, and he said, "When I went up the mountain, I saw the uncle's corpse beneath the cliff, maybe he fell from the mountain."

Another monk Mingjing said, "Uncle Master is usually very careful, how could he suffer an accident?"

At this time, another monk with the Dharma name Mingchang said, "Yes, Uncle Master is usually afraid of going to the edge of the cliff, so how could he fall down?"

Mingjing guessed: "By the way, yesterday at the You hour, Uncle Master once taught the person named Jinmao. Could it be that he was unwilling to accept his feelings, so he secretly came up to take revenge on Uncle Master."

Zhan Zhao said angrily: "Brand Rat, I will definitely not let you go today." As he said that, he was about to walk out of the hall.

"Avoid sex, where are you going!" Master Yan Hui called Zhan Zhao.

"I'll catch those five mice and avenge my senior brother!" Zhan Zhao said loudly.

"Don't be impulsive. Although those five rats are five naughty children and have done some bad things, they are definitely not the kind of people who dare to kill people." Master Yan Hui said.

"The senior brother of the host is right. How can you say that it is them without any evidence? Besides, killing someone is no longer like killing an ant. They definitely dare not act so boldly." Master Wudao also said.

"Yes, these are just their guesses. Maybe Master Jiekong just accidentally made a mistake." Jiang Qing also advised.
