After pondering for a long time, Sun Wukong suddenly asked.
"Abbott, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is very important to us, and I want to ask again. Are you sure you disappeared and weren't you hiding?"
"Master, no matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same. It has indeed disappeared. We have searched many times and still can't find it. As for whether you want to hide it, don't worry. We can withstand it.
It's a test!" The abbot was not angry, but said with a chuckle.
"Why do you say that?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Because you are not the first people to come to our Jingping Temple to ask for Buddha stickers, and you may not be the last ones either." The abbot said calmly.
"Oh? Besides us, who else has come here to ask for Buddhist stickers?" Sun Wukong asked in surprise.
Not only Sun Wukong was surprised, but Tang Monk and others were also surprised. This may very well have the answer they wanted.
"When the Buddhist altarpieces disappeared ten thousand years ago, the eminent monks did not believe it. They also suspected that we had hidden the Buddhist altarpieces and wanted us to hand over the Buddhist altarpieces. In the end, we fought several battles. In the end, we were all
There were countless casualties.”
"In desperation, in order to prevent the casualties from increasing, the abbot at that time had no choice but to let go of Jingping Temple and let everyone come in to search. If they found the Buddhist inscriptions, we at Jingping Temple would send them out directly."
"Subsequently, for nearly a thousand years, people came to Amway one after another to search Jingping Temple, hoping to find the Buddhist scriptures and keep them for themselves."
"But no matter who came to search, they couldn't find it. Even at that time, a Taiyi Jinxian searched all the monks at that time, but no Buddhist inscriptions were found. In the end, the storm was over, and Jingping Temple
Peace was restored!"
"I just didn't expect that tens of thousands of years have passed like this. A few days ago, three monks with advanced cultivation came to our Jingping Temple to ask for Buddhist inscriptions. We also explained the situation to those three powerful monks, but they didn't believe it.
He almost killed us."
"In the end, the three of them searched Jingping Temple inside and out. Even though all the people in the temple were stripped naked by them, they could not find the Buddha's sutras. This already shows that the Buddhist sutras are not in our Jingping Temple at all.
The temple, on the contrary, may have mysteriously disappeared, or some Daluo Jinxian came to our Jingping Temple and stole it. Only in this way can our guards not notice it and explain the disappearance of the Buddhist scriptures!" the abbot said slowly.
"It turns out that there is such a catastrophe in your temple. It is not easy for you to survive. Amitabha." Tang Monk sighed and said.
Bajie and the others were speechless after hearing this, especially the part where everyone in the temple was stripped naked and inspected, they were all embarrassed after hearing this.
"But, since there is no Buddhist calligraphy in Jingping Temple, why does Dingguang Buddha still say that the Buddhist calligraphy is in Jingping Temple?" Tang Monk asked again.
"This poor monk is also very confused about this, so he confirmed it with Elder Tang again and again," the abbot said.
"Then what happens if we find Buddhist inscriptions in Jingping Temple?" Sun Wukong suddenly said.
"This... this poor monk has never thought about it, but we can still act according to the rules on the Buddhist scriptures, and we can talk about Buddhism." The abbot said.
"Then if you hid it and deliberately said it was missing, and we found it by then, would we still need to talk about Buddhism?" Sun Wukong asked, staring at the abbot.
"The master was joking. The poor monk made it very clear that the Buddha's calligraphy is no longer in Jingping Temple. If you still don't believe it, the poor monk promises you that as long as you can find the Buddha's calligraphy in Jingping Temple, and
It proves that it was hidden by our temple, so we will let you take it away without any further discussion of the Buddha's disposition." The abbot said solemnly.
Sun Wukong stared at the abbot, not seeing anything wrong with the abbot at all, but he did find something unusual about the abbot before, but now it made him embarrassed, he was confused now!
Sun Wukong's questioning and the abbot's swearing made the reception room extremely quiet, and the scene was once very awkward.
"Wukong, the abbot has explained it like this, which means that the Buddhist inscriptions are probably not in Jingping Temple. Let's find another way." Tang Monk broke the silence and said.
"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing only happened once some time ago, and I have a clear conscience." The abbot said magnanimously.
"Abbott, you said that three people went to Jingping Temple to search some time ago. Do you know who they are?" Bajie suddenly asked.
"The poor monk has some understanding. They are the three senior Da Luo Jinxian in the Baili River, a civilization thousands of miles away." The abbot said.
"Baili River? Where is this?" Tang Monk asked in confusion.
"The Baili River is the disciple's previous residence, and it is also the river that blocks us from crossing. Because the river is hundreds of miles wide, it is named Baili River!" Wu Jing said for the first time.
"If that's the case, then the three of them are Shuitian and the three brothers. If that's the case, it makes sense." Bajie said.
"How do you say it?" Sun Wukong and others were very curious.
"Shui Tian and his three brothers did not fight with me to kill me. Their purpose was originally Master, and the purpose of healing is now clear." Bajie said.
Tang Seng's master and disciples immediately understood that Shuitian's target was the Buddhist altarpiece, so they attacked Bajie and Tang Seng.
The reason why Bajie did not tell the story about the Buddhist scriptures was because he did not want other unexpected things to happen and save trouble.
However, when the abbot heard Bajie's words, his eyes flashed, and he immediately thought that Tang Monk should have a Buddhist sticker in his hand.
But for some reason, he didn't make it clear in the end, but listened quietly.
"May I ask how those three seniors are doing now?" the abbot asked.
Although he knew that Shuitian and the others might be gone, he still made sure.
"It's no wonder they survived if I took action!" Bajie said in a sullen tone.
"This master is very capable and the poor monk admires him." The abbot clasped his hands together and bowed to Bajie and said.
This made Bajie even more proud, as he finally had a chance to show off.
However, Sun Wukong on the side felt something was abnormal. He realized that the abbot in front of him must be hiding something from them, otherwise the abbot's heartbeat would not be so fast now. Combined with the unusual things before, there must be something wrong with the abbot.
Otherwise, there is something wrong with this Joheiji Temple!
"Masters and elders, do you have anything else to do? If nothing happens, I will not accompany you as I have other things to do." The abbot said.
"Since the abbot has something to do, please ask for your help first, and we have to think carefully about what we should do!" Tang Seng said with some disappointment.
"It is naturally straight from the bridge to the bow of the ship. Elder Tang, don't worry too much," the abbot said.
"I will ask the person next to you to take you to your room. You should have a good rest first."
"Thank you, abbot, for your hospitality." Tang Seng said a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, we are all Buddhists. We welcome your arrival. The poor monk will leave first." After saying that, the abbot left.
Then Tang Seng and his disciples came to their guest room to discuss what to do.
"Master, what should we do now? The Buddhist scriptures are gone, how can we go to Xiantian to obtain scriptures?" Bajie asked at the beginning.
"Master, I have no clue now. This is obviously the address given by Dingguang Buddha. How come there is no news about the Buddha's inscriptions? It's really strange." Tang Monk said in confusion.
"Could it be that Dingguang Buddha made a mistake? Or did you remember it wrong, Master?" Bajie became a little irritable.
