Chapter 437 Never Forget the Original Intention!
"Looking up at the dust!"
"Looking up at the dust!"
Where are you?!
"That merit... Pshaw! I have something to tell you!"
As soon as Lin Que stepped into Wangchen Temple, he immediately began searching for Wangchen's figure.
"It's Benefactor Lin. What's wrong?" Wang Chen, who was in the backyard, hurriedly came out after hearing Lin Que's voice and asked, "By the way, hasn't the abbot returned yet?"
"Hmm... the abbot might not be coming back." Lin Que said, stroking his chin as he looked at Wang Chen, who was coming out of the backyard.
"Click" sound!
The broom in Wang Chen's hand fell to the ground.
"How...how could this be!" Wang Chen said in disbelief, "No...it's impossible!"
"The abbot... how could he possibly be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que was speechless. Although Wang Chen did not attend the Demon-Slaying Gathering, he still knew what had happened on Wuwang Island based on the news brought back by his fellow disciples.
But for some reason, no one told him about Abbot Wangchen.
Good guy!
So these people don't know how to start, so they're letting me do it!
Helpless, Lin Que immediately said, "Nothing happened, the abbot is perfectly fine!"
"However, some things have happened, and the abbot will not be coming back for the time being."
"This was his own decision!"
"Never mind, you go and gather all the disciples of Wangchen Temple first. I will return with the abbot's instructions."
"You'll find out soon."
Seeing Lin Que say this, Wang Chen had no choice but to go and gather all the monks and disciples in the temple to come together to the main hall.
Although some monks who had been to Earth knew about it, many of their disciples did not.
When Lin Que brought them Abbot Wangchen's instructions, everyone was stunned!
“How…how could this be!”
"I do not believe!"
"I don't believe the abbot would disband Wangchen Temple!"
"Woooooo~!"
"Abbot, why are you doing this..."
"..."
Many young monks had already burst into tears, and even some monks who knew the inside story remained silent.
At this moment, Wang Chen looked at Lin Que with disbelief.
"Lin... Benefactor Lin!"
"You're lying to this humble monk, aren't you?"
Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Lin Que knew very well that he didn't believe him, so he immediately took out a scroll of edict from his storage ring and handed it to him.
It turns out that Abbot Wangchen already knew that Wangchen would find it hard to believe given his personality, so he specifically instructed Lin Que to hand him over.
When Wang Chen received the book with trembling hands and read it word by word, he fell into silence.
"Alright!" Lin Que comforted him, "Don't be so pessimistic. It's not like you won't have the chance to see the abbot again in the future."
"As long as I strive to improve, I will soon reach the Great Thousand Buddha Realm!"
"You and the abbot will definitely meet again in the future."
To Lin Que's surprise, his casual words of comfort caused Wang Chen to raise his bald head and his eyes to become incredibly determined!
“You’re right, Benefactor Lin!”
"This humble monk must strive harder!"
"We must go to the Great Thousand Buddha Realm as soon as possible!"
"Then hurry up, Benefactor Lin!"
"Quickly take this humble monk to experience the mortal world!"
"Cough cough~!" Lin Que choked on Wang Chen's words. Looking at those determined yet fiery eyes, he said speechlessly, "Experiencing the mortal world isn't what you think. Don't be in such a hurry, okay?"
Lin Que couldn't help but feel that Wang Chen was full of some kind of drive at this moment.
"Then, Benefactor Lin, what should we do now?" Wang Chen asked excitedly, his previous sorrow gone.
"Hmm..." Lin Que stroked his chin and said, "Now... tell me the location of the donation box at Wangchen Temple."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chen tilted his head, looking completely bewildered.
"Does experiencing the mortal world also require a donation box?"
“That’s right!” Lin Que said with a firm expression, “This is your first step into the mortal world!”
"And it's the most important first step!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Chen seemed to have a sudden realization after hearing this!
He immediately pulled out paper and pen from somewhere and wrote down Lin Que's words one by one.
"Year 236 of the Fengtian Calendar, sunny!"
"The first step in experiencing the mortal world: tell Benefactor Lin the location of the donation box."
Seeing Wang Chen's earnest note-taking, Lin Que nodded with satisfaction!
Not bad!
Not bad!
Children can be taught!
In this mortal world, if you want to truly enter it, the first step is definitely to be deceived!
Just like those innocent and naive college students on Earth, how can they not get away with being deceived when they first enter society?
This is what it means to be beaten down by society!
Back then, Lin Que himself was also tricked into coming here in the same way; otherwise, why would he have ended up working at that lousy zoo?
After Wang Chen told Lin Que the location of the donation box, the latter immediately disappeared excitedly.
A short while later, he came back excitedly.
And the satisfied smile on his face was impossible to stop!
The reason was that a box that had been placed in front of a Buddha statue in a side hall had disappeared.
Upon seeing Lin Que return, Wang Chen continued excitedly, "Then... Benefactor Lin, shall we go and experience the mortal world now?!"
"No rush! No rush!" Lin Que smiled kindly and said, "After all, you're about to leave the Lotus Buddha Kingdom, so I should at least take you to visit various temples."
"Go steal... uh... go visit their abbot and head monk, no."
After saying that, Lin Que thought to himself...
Silly boy!
You have officially entered the mortal world.
I believe Abbot Wangchen will be grateful to me after seeing this.
Thinking of this, Lin Que nodded unconsciously, seemingly quite satisfied with his teaching!
……
One day later, Wangchen Temple announced its dissolution!
Fortunately, Wangchen and Huixuan had already agreed that the disciples of Wangchen Temple after the disbandment would be taken in by Lotus Temple and other temples.
This relieved Lin Que and Wang Chen from worrying about them.
Soon, Lin Que led Wang Chen to visit each temple one by one.
Surprisingly, the abbots of every temple warmly welcomed Lin Que's arrival!
Their faces were all beaming with joy!
There was no other reason than that Lin Que was surrounded by the golden light of merit, and was treated as if he were the reincarnation of Buddha.
What the abbots didn't expect was that Lin Que himself was even happier than they were!
Their smiles were even brighter than theirs!
What the hell!
Since you're all so welcoming, then I won't be polite!
I said I'd steal your donation box, so I'll steal your donation box!
This is called staying true to your original aspiration!
After Lin Que and Wang Chen left the temples of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom with satisfied expressions, all the temples were in an uproar!
"No...Oh no!"
"Abbot, something terrible has happened!"
"The donation box in our temple is missing!"
"Woooooo~!"
"Abbot!"
"Our month's supply of incense offerings is gone..."
"Fuck!!!"
"Which little brat did this?!"
"..."
The monks of all the temples were grieving at this time.
But there is one exception!
It was all because there was a young nun named Jingning in that nunnery.
She personally led Lin Que to retrieve the donation box from their temple, and she was even quite happy about it!
When Lin Que and Wang Chen left the Lotus Buddha Kingdom with satisfaction and arrived at the outer edge of the Nether Sea, they saw that stunningly beautiful figure from afar!
"Looks like you've been waiting for me here all along."
"Since that's the case... let's go!"
Upon hearing this, the stunningly beautiful woman turned around and looked at Lin Que.
It was Liu Qingyi!
