Fahai was very popular in Jinshan Temple, and Amber benefited from it by following behind him. Monks and believers would stop and say hello to him when they met him on the road.

"I have met Zen Master Fahai."

"Hello, Senior Brother!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Fahai. Oh, is Senior Brother Faming here too?"

The short journey from the meditation room to the main hall took twice as long as a cup of tea.

During this time, whenever Fahai met someone who greeted him, he would stop and talk, without showing any impatience, which was completely contrary to what he had said to Amber before.

Well, maybe this is a manifestation of compassion?

Amber didn't like this. It was not only too tiring, but also too hypocritical.

Perhaps he had sensed his thoughts, and on the last stretch of the road before entering the Great Hall, Fahai took the time to ask, "Brother Faming, are you feeling impatient?"

"No."

Amber shook her head.

"The Buddha has a thousand forms, but the root of all is a heart of compassion. Whether it's my fellow disciples or my followers, they are all just miserable people struggling in the sea of ​​suffering. Although I haven't completely cut off the six roots of worldly ties, I already have the opportunity to transcend."

Fahai said gently: "We should spread the Dharma after we obtain it. This can make our compassionate hearts purer and more innocent. Therefore, when we treat people and things, it is also a time for us to practice."

"Yeah, yeah, brother is right."

Amber said perfunctorily.

"hehe."

Fahai shook his head and chuckled: "Junior brother, you are different from me. Just practice hard and don't learn from me."

Amber yawned lazily upon hearing this, then lifted up the wine gourd and took a sip.

The Jinshan Temple has strict rules and regulations. People are not allowed to touch or even smell things like alcohol and meat.

But after showing off his 10-foot-tall golden body, this kind of precept became meaningless to him, which also made Amber the most hated person by the monks of precepts.

Fahai smelled the wine, chanted a Buddhist name in his heart, and said helplessly: "Faming, please don't drink in the hall."

"Oh, OK!"

Amber hung the wine gourd around his waist and burped deeply.

The two continued to move forward, and when they arrived at the main hall, it was already filled with monks from various courtyards.

Buddhist architecture emphasizes grandeur, so in order to appear solemn, powerful temples will build the main hall tall and large, while temples with less popularity will shrink the Buddha statues, which can also achieve the purpose.

Needless to say, Jinshan Temple is very popular. It is located in Suzhou and Hangzhou, a wealthy place in the world. The temple has produced eminent monks from generation to generation. The annual incense money is unimaginable to outsiders.

The Buddha statues in the palace are made of pure gold. When the skylight is opened during the day, the whole palace is golden. Ordinary believers are not even qualified to enter the palace to burn incense. They must be of a certain level of noble status to enter.

Although there are many monks at this moment, they are like ants. Not only is there no sense of crowding, but the grandeur of the hall is further highlighted.

When people are in such a situation, they will unconsciously feel insignificant.

As Fahai and Amber stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall, the abbot, who had originally closed his eyes, finally opened them.

The golden Buddha light flashed in his eyes. Although it was very short, it was extremely clear.

The monks who noticed this scene became more respectful and wanted to prostrate themselves and kowtow.

"Fa Ming, come forward."

An old yet gentle voice sounded from the abbot's mouth, and the monks below couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

How could a guy who drank alcohol, ate meat, didn't follow the rules and regulations, and even occasionally spoke foul language, achieve a six-foot-tall golden body?

How unfair is Buddha?!

"Here I come."

Amber chuckled and walked past Fahai to approach the abbot.

The strong smell of alcohol on his body drifted unimpeded into the noses of the nearby monks, making them frown as if they had encountered a ferocious beast. They retreated involuntarily.

"Fa Ming! You actually came to the palace drunk!!"

Suddenly, an angry shout was heard from the side.

Amber paused and turned around to see that the head monk of the Discipline Institute, Chuankong, was already furious, his face flushed with excitement.

"Wine? What kind of wine? Can you smell it again?"

Amber snorted and lied with open eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The generation names of Jinshan Temple in recent generations are Wei Chuan Fayin, Zhengwu Huirong, and the abbot is of the Wei generation. Originally, the successor should be chosen from the Chuan generation, but most of them are just mediocre. The Fa generation had Fahai first and Amber later, so they don't have any chance at all.

It is impossible to say that you don't have any ideas, but the cultivation of Buddhism is not something that can be improved by just talking. If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, even if you knock your head under a Buddha statue and break it, it will not improve at all.

"Ah? Me?!"

A monk standing at the outermost edge was startled. Seeing Chuankong's murderous look, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I can't do it."

"Look, Master. Chuan Kong is so powerful that he scares others so much that they dare not say a word!"

Amber giggled and spoke with sarcasm.

"alright."

The abbot shook his head helplessly and stopped the topic directly, "Chuankong, you don't need to interfere in Faming's affairs."

"As the abbot ordered."

Chuankong immediately clasped his hands together and silently retreated into the crowd.

"Fa Ming, you are born with Buddha nature, and you have a better chance of attaining enlightenment than the rest of us. There is no need for me to say more about your cultivation."

The abbot said slowly, "But since you are in Jinshan Temple, you are a part of it. You and Fahai are the most outstanding among the Fa generation. The position of abbot is still undecided, and you two will eventually have to shoulder the responsibility."

"Ah? Didn't I say a long time ago that Senior Brother Fahai is more suitable than me?"

Amber waved her hand when she heard this: "Just pass the location to him directly."

"It's rare that you understand what's going on, but things can't be the way you want them to be."

The abbot shook his head slightly, his clear eyes filled with expectation: "The position of abbot is not just a position, it is also related to a legacy. I am ordinary in talent and cannot comprehend the six-foot golden body, let alone obtain the Tathagata Palm in the future. But you are different, you have a chance."

Tathagata Palm?!

Amber immediately became interested.

"Abbot, what do you think? Let Fahai be the abbot, and I will cultivate my magical powers. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"Haha, you want benefits but don't want to take responsibility? There is no such good thing in the world!"

The abbot laughed, as if he was waiting for him to say this.

"Forget it then. Fahai is more suitable to be the abbot."

Amber waved her hand in refusal.

Although his supernatural powers are great, it is impossible for him to deal with mundane matters and interact with people every day.
