The next day, the temple chose the abbot for the second time. After breakfast, the nuns all went to the front hall again. Wang Haiyang and several other men stood outside the hall and watched.

In the main hall, the old abbot was sitting with her back to the Buddha statue. On either side of her were Jingkong and Jingming. On the left side was an offering table with two palm-sized pieces of white paper and an earthen urn half a foot high.

The other nuns sat neatly facing the Buddha statue.

"Fellow disciples," the old abbot said slowly, "Yesterday's election, the votes for Jingkong and Jingming were the same. Today we will obey the Buddha's will and let him make the decision!" As she said that, she looked at Jingkong and Jingming.

Look, ask: "Do you have any objections?"

The two of them replied in unison: "No objection." The male security guard of the nunnery 181

Everyone in the palace understood that the capture of the eunuch depended on luck, and both of them had half a chance.

"Okay, let's get started." The old abbot said, "Zhenjing, show everyone the earthen urn."

"Yes!" So Zhenjing stood up, walked to the altar, picked up the earthen urn, with the mouth of the urn facing outward, and then walked towards the nuns to show them that the urn was empty.

This move was obviously intended by the abbot to prove that there was no suspicion of fraud in the process, to show fairness.

After all the nuns had finished reading, Zhenjing put the earthen urn back on the altar table.

Then the old abbot said: "Zhenzhi, come and write. You are the only one who has the best handwriting in this temple."

"Yes!" Zhenzhi stood up, looked back at the men standing outside the hall, then walked behind the altar table, picked up a pen and wrote the names of Jingkong and Jingming on two pieces of white paper.

"Show them after you've written it!" the abbot said.

"Yes!" Zhenzhi's voice trembled slightly. She picked up one of the papers and walked up to Master Jingming to let her take a look.

Jingming saw the word "Jingming" written on it and nodded slightly.

Zhenzhi turned around and showed the white paper to the nuns again, then walked back to the altar table, put down the paper, took another piece of paper, and then came to Jingkong to let her take a look.

Jingkong nodded, with an imperceptible smile on his face.

Zhenzhi turned around again and waved the note in his hand in front of the nuns. This action was much faster than showing the first note just now.

"Do you all see clearly?" the abbot asked.

"I see clearly." Master Jingming and Master Jingkong replied one after the other.

"Okay, Zhenzhi, fold them in half and put them in the urn," the abbot said.

"Yes!" Zhenzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly folded the two pieces of white paper into exactly the same size pieces. He held them up and showed them to everyone. Then he put them into an urn, picked them up again, and shook them vigorously a few times.

, put it down again.

"Now call Hua Wa in and let him draw lots!" the abbot said. The reason why he called Hua Wa was to show fairness and impartiality. Hua Wa is a fool, has no selfish motives, and does not know how to do anything.

Whoever arrives will be the next abbot. This is indeed God's will.

"Hua Wa, the abbot wants you to come in." Ruyan, who was closest to the door, turned around and shouted to Hua Wa outside the door. Male security guard of the nunnery 181

Hua Wa had a silly smile and was about to go in. Hua Bo pulled him and whispered, "Do you remember what grandpa said?"

"Remember." Hua Wa nodded and trotted into the hall.

When the abbot saw it, he waved to Hua Wa and said, "Hua Wa, there are two pieces of paper in the urn. You can take out any one."

"Haha, it's fun, what are you playing?" Hua Wa walked to the altar table.

"Hua Wa, we are playing a game, you take one out." Zhenzhi said.

"Okay." Hua Wa smiled and put his hand into the urn, and took out a piece of paper. The paper was folded into a square. Hua Wa lifted it into the air and stared at it, "What's inside is

What?" he asked.

"Hua Wa, come here! Give me the paper." The abbot waved to him.

Unexpectedly, Hua Wa said, "This paper is so white. I'm going to use it to make paper airplanes. Fly, fly!" As Hua Wa said, she ran out of the hall in a flash.

Before anyone could react, Hua Wa had already rushed out of the hall, and Hua Bo's cry came from outside: "Gua Wa Zi, where are you running?"

When everyone turned around, they saw Hua Bo chasing Hua Wa outside, while Wang Haiyang and Tan Jun were still standing there.

Hua Wa ran away with the paper she pulled out. This turn of events was beyond everyone's expectation. Everyone was stunned and whispered to each other.

Master Jingkong said: "Well, what should we do? Should we wait for Uncle Hua to get the paper back?"

Master Jingming also had a look of astonishment.

The abbot smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. He took one away, and the other one was still in the urn. When he took it out and looked at it, he knew that Hua Wa had taken it.

Whose Dharma name is written on that one?"

Jingkong raised his eyebrows and said quickly: "The abbot is still smart!"

When everyone heard it, it really made sense. The old abbot must be of high moral character and not be surprised when in trouble.

The old abbot said: "Zhenzhi, please take that one out."

"Yes!" At this time, Zhenzhi let out a long sigh of relief, reached out and took out the piece of paper from the urn, and respectfully handed it to the abbot's hand.

The abbot slowly opened the paper, revealing the words on it. She glanced at it, with a calm expression, and handed it to Zhenzhi, "Let's show it to everyone!"

So Zhenzhi showed the note to Master Jingming first. When Jingming saw it, his face changed slightly. After Jingkong saw it, he was very excited inside, but his face was as calm as water.

Zhenzhi then circulated the note to everyone.

Finally everyone has seen it. The male security guard at the nunnery 181

The word "Jingming" was clearly written on the white paper, so the paper Hua Wa took away must have the word "Jingkong" written on it.
