Chapter 1463    The palace really can't stay

Xia Baoer stepped on the water until she walked to the entrance of Guanyin Temple.

Her skirt below her knees were already wet.

The little girl pushed open the closed door with force.

The sound of chanting sermons was faintly heard inside.

She led the guards toward the shining hall.

He suddenly pushed open the door, and the water waves suddenly rippled, and the scene inside shocked them.

I saw the monks from Guanyin Temple standing in front of the tall Buddha statue under the leadership of the old abbot.

Because the Buddha statues are worshipped on high stone steps, they are not invaded by water at all.

Poor these monks, their robes are soaked, but their hands are folded together and they keep chanting Buddhist beads.

They turned around and saw Xia Baoer bringing people in, they were all a little surprised.

The old abbot recognized her.

"Your Highness the Princess."

Xia Baoer frowned: "Grandpa Abbot, when is it now? Why haven't you left with the rest of the monks?"

"The flood is about to rise. If you don't leave, you will die."

The abbot clasped his hands together and saw through everything in the world. In addition to old age, there was wisdom.

"Amitabha, thank you for your care of the princess, but when I convert to Buddhism, I vow that I will not betray the Buddha at any time."

"Now that the water is rising, if we abandon the Buddha and leave and let the hundred-year incense be destroyed, wouldn't we be ashamed of the Buddha's guidance for many years?"

Xia Baoer scolded: "Fallusion!"

The little girl's voice was crisp and her eyebrows were clear and bright.

"Grandpa Abbot, you have been practicing Buddhism for many years. I don't know that what the Buddha hopes most is to save yourself first and then others?"

"You can't even guarantee your own life, and you are talking about worshipping the Buddha? Does the Buddha hope to see you like this, and not escape when the flood comes, and wait for death in vain!"

Xia Baoer's words pointed out the abbot and the monks.

The old abbot looked in dismay: "Ko Guanyin Temple has been incense for a hundred years. I entered the temple at the age of five and have been chanting Buddha's name here for seventy-three years."

His eyes were full of reluctance, and his old hands stroked the candlesticks and incense tables here.

"If you leave this time and come back, the temple will definitely be unrecognizable."

Xia Baoer pursed her lips: "Grandpa, only when a person is there can be a temple. If people are gone, what's the point of giving up the hard guard of life here?"

The abbot was silent for a long time.

Xia Baoer said again: "Look back and look at the monks who followed you."

The abbot looked back and looked at the monks who had been following him all the time.

Their robes were soaked, but they didn't say they left easily.

Leave your life completely in his hands.

The abbot's heart suddenly felt heavy.

Xia Baoer persuaded softly.

"When they first converted to Buddhism, did they believe that the Buddha taught them that they would abandon their lives and guard the temples at any time?"

"Grandpa abbot, leave in time and protect himself and the monks is what makes all the Buddhas and gods happy."

The abbot hesitated for a while, finally closed his eyes and nodded: "It's time to leave."

Before he left, he kowtowed heavily on the incense table.

Guanyin Temple has experienced many ups and downs, but he has to take the monks to leave the temple at the most critical moment.

My heart was full of reluctance.

But the princess is right, only when the people are there can be a temple.

Xia Baoer brought the monks back to the palace.

Dequan's father-in-law counted and there were twenty-six monks in total.

But, I can no longer stay.

Moral Dequan couldn't help but whisper in a low voice, saying anxiously: "Your Highness, our palace is really too crowded, and even the woodshed is freed to live in."
