A Clash of Gods

Chapter 126: There is a difference between up and down

Views:

Some of the monks looked slightly surprised, but most of them had expressions of normalcy.

Brother Mabi stared at Yang Ning and sneered: "Are you making trouble now? You dislike the lack of food and dare to throw the rice bowl on the ground. Do you know how Wugutang deals with such people?"

Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "I thought this was a holy land of Buddhism, but it turns out it is also a river and lake."

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't it said that there are many rules in Daguangming Temple?" Yang Ning said coldly: "It turns out that you can lie at will, and it is common for the strong to bully the weak." He asked: "You said I broke this bowl of rice?"

"Everyone has seen it." Brother Makabe said: "According to the temple rules, you are not allowed to come to the Five Grain Hall for the next three days. Only after three days will you know how precious this bowl of rice is."

Yang Ning smiled slightly and suddenly went into the Five Grain Hall. Brother Mabi frowned, but saw Yang Ning walking in front of the fat monk after entering the house. Without saying a word, he kicked the large pot of white rice to the ground. The fat monk was shocked and said sternly: "You... what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Yang Ning pointed to the white rice on the ground, "Many people don't have enough to eat, but you poured a large bowl of rice on the ground. According to temple regulations, are you not allowed to eat for three years?"

Senior Brother Mabi had already walked behind Yang Ning. When he saw this scene, he said angrily: "How dare you to act wild in the Five Grain Hall." He put his hand on Yang Ning's shoulder. Yang Ning did not hesitate and grabbed Senior Brother Mabi's hand with his backhand. With a low roar, he bent over and threw Brother Makabe over his head, and then he fell heavily onto the pile of white rice.

At first, Yang Ning thought that Senior Brother Zhenbi was difficult to deal with, so he did not dare to neglect him and used all his strength. However, Senior Brother Zhenbi was not as powerful as he thought. He was thrown to the ground and screamed several times.

Sixty-seven people rushed over to the Five Grain Hall, helping Senior Brother Zhenbi up. Some people were already carrying sticks and surrounding Yang Ning.

Young monk Zhenming had already come in and said in a panic: "Brothers, it's... it's junior brother Ning... it's junior brother Ning. I'm wrong. The young monk is here to apologize to you. He is new here...!"

At this moment, Ben suddenly gathered around amid the sound of patiently queuing up.

Brother Mabi was covered in rice grains all over his body and was in such a state of embarrassment that he stared at Yang Ning and was extremely angry: "You...you dare to act wild in the Five Grain Hall?"

"Brother Makabe, you have ruined all this rice. Are you going to be unable to eat for at least a year?" Yang Ning sneered: "A person in charge of the canteen, if you don't know better, you think he is the host, but he is very prestigious."

"Catch him." Senior Brother Makabe roared: "Send him to the ordination hall...!"

Then two monks from Wugutang picked up the wooden sticks in their hands and hit Yang Ning without mercy.

Yang Ning turned around, took a step, and dodged easily. In a few steps, he rushed out of the dining hall and reached the square outside the door.

The monks outside obviously didn't want to cause more trouble, so they fled away one after another. The monks from Wugutang rushed out and chased after them. The young monk Zhenming was extremely anxious and followed behind him and shouted: "Brothers, stop chasing, he... !”

Before he finished speaking, Monk Mabi raised his finger and pointed at Little Monk Zhenming, and asked sternly: "Did you bring him here?"

"Yes, yes, he was brought by Xiao Monk...!"

"Zhenming, you deliberately brought this guy to make trouble, right?" Makabe said angrily: "I know that your master and disciple are dissatisfied with our Wugutang, and today you specially brought people to make trouble. Sanming, you run away this time. If you can’t, you must be sent to the ordination hall and handed over to Master Jing Neng.”

At this moment, several monks from Wugu Hall were chasing Yang Ning in the square, but their martial arts seemed to be ordinary. Yang Ning was darting back and forth among the crowd, and they couldn't catch up for a while.

The fat monk chased for a few steps and was already out of breath. He stopped and suddenly felt a figure flashing around him. He saw Yang Ning running to his side. The fat monk reached out to grab him and shouted: "Here, here. .”

Yang Ning easily dodged and swayed in front of the fat monk. The fat monk screamed strangely and took aim at Yang Ning and pounced on him. However, he only saw Yang Ning's figure swaying. The fat monk only felt a piece of garlic under his feet, and his whole body had already pounced. He fell to the ground, yelled "Ouch", and fell to the ground.

Some of the monks around him suppressed their laughter, and some even deliberately let Yang Ning pass, but while dodging, they deliberately blocked the chasing monks from Wugutang.

In front of the Five Grains Hall, which was originally silent, it was now noisy and noisy.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a cold shout: "Everyone stop!"

The voice was powerful and powerful. Although the venue was noisy, this sharp shout suppressed all other voices. Yang Ning was startled. He followed the sound and saw a man standing not far away. An old monk wearing purple and yellow robes, over fifty years old, tall, with a black beard fluttering under his chin, is looking here with a cold face.

Everyone everywhere suddenly became silent, and the monks from Wugutang quickly put down their sticks and knelt on the ground. Monk Zhenbi hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Master Jingneng!"

Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived. These guys were shouting to send him to the ordination hall. Unexpectedly, the first monk in the ordination hall, Jing Neng, suddenly appeared.

The other monks were obviously very afraid of Jing Neng. They lowered their heads and remained silent.

Jing Neng glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Why are you making so much noise here?"

Monk Zhenbi hurriedly said: "Reporting to my uncle, there is a new disciple who has come up the mountain. He dislikes the bad food and causes trouble here, so he asked my uncle to make the decision."

Jing Neng looked at Yang Ning and said, "Come here!"

He had a majestic aura, a cold voice, and a temperament that was hard to resist. Yang Ning hesitated, then stepped forward. He wanted to clasp his fists, but thinking that this was a temple, he clasped his hands and said, "Junior Qi Ning, I have met my seniors."

He had not been tonsured, nor had he become a disciple, nor could he call Jingneng his uncle.

Jing Neng didn't seem to care about the address and asked, "Do you dislike the food?"

Yang Ning said: "Senior, the temple rules are strict. I wonder if speaking lies violates the temple rules?"

"What do you mean?"

"Then we have to ask this Senior Brother Mabi." Yang Ning said: "He claims to be in charge of the Five Grain Hall, but when it comes to cooking, there is more or less. I don't comment on whether the food in the Five Grain Hall is good or not, but it is unfair. I I just feel unconvinced.”

Jing Neng asked: "Are you Qining who went up the mountain to heal his wounds?"

Yang Ning nodded, thinking that Jing Neng also knew about me. From this point of view, he should also know the identity of Jinyi Crown Prince, but he didn't know if he would give me some face.

"Wugutang has the temple rules of Wugutang." Jingneng said with a stern expression, "You just arrived here and caused trouble here and disturbed the temple rules. Don't treat him lightly." He said in a deep voice: "Someone, take him to the ordination hall."

Two monks came up immediately from behind.

Yang Ning frowned and said, "Wait a minute." He asked, "Senior, do you want to punish me?"

"If you violate temple rules, you will naturally be punished."

Yang Ning smiled and said: "But the senior has not understood the ins and outs of the matter, so he is so arbitrary? Why don't you ask the people in Wugutang what they have done?"

"I only know that you are causing the noise here." Jing Neng said, "Other matters will be investigated later."

Yang Ning suddenly laughed, the laughter was very harsh, and many monks looked horrified, thinking to themselves that the monks in Daguangming Temple did not even dare to speak loudly in front of this uncle Jingneng, this boy It's really a shame to dare to be so bold here. It seems that you are going to be in bad luck.

"Why are you laughing?" Jingneng asked coldly.

Yang Ning said lightly: "I thought that since Daguangming Temple is known as the best temple in the world, it must be extraordinary. But now it seems that there is gold and jade on the outside, but it is ruined on the inside."

Jing Neng's face turned cold and he said sternly: "What did you say?"

Makabe said from the side: "Uncle, listen to what he said. This man is arrogant and ignorant. We must not let him ruin the reputation of Daguangming Temple...!"

"Don't talk." Jingneng glared at Mabi.

Yang Ning pointed at the real wall and said: "The person who manages the Five Grains Hall is a follower of others, fierce in appearance and soft in heart, and there are a few others who bully the weak and fear the strong. Originally I thought you, an old monk, could uphold justice, but now it seems that you don't know right from wrong, from top to bottom. Everyone is like this, I really don’t know what qualification Daguangming Temple has to claim to be the best temple in the world!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their expressions, and the young monk Zhenming said anxiously: "Junior brother Ning, this is not the case...!"

"Senior brother, don't you understand now that these people in Wugutang are arrogant and domineering in front of you because they see you as honest and young. Haven't you seen him fetching food for others?" Yang Ning He snorted coldly, "You have just seen that some people can directly enter the Five Grain Hall and carry big wooden buckets to prepare meals. Not to mention that the food is much better than yours. They can enter and exit the Five Grain Hall at will without queuing. This big How can all living beings be equal in Guangming Temple?"

When some people heard it, they immediately looked playful, and some even laughed mockingly.

Senior brother Makabe also sneered: "Are you talking about the senior brothers in Kongming Pavilion?"

"I don't care where I am, senior brother. Since we want to talk about the equality of all living beings, we should start from Daguangming Temple." Yang Ning said loudly: "If you don't even adhere to this principle, why should you preach the equality of all living beings?"

"You have only been in the temple for a few days, but you are still worthy of speaking about Buddhism?" Senior Brother Mabi mocked: "Are you jealous of those senior brothers in Kongming Pavilion? Hehe, can you be compared with them? In their eyes, you don't even have a little finger. It doesn’t really count.”

Yang Ning laughed and said: "As I said, Daguangming Temple is very hierarchical and there is no equality among all living beings. You Mabi think you can't be compared with them, but I don't think they are that special." He glanced at Senior Brother Mabi and said, " You don't even look down on yourself, so I really don't know how you have the confidence to show off your power in front of others?"

Jing Neng looked at Yang Ning coldly, and finally asked: "Do you think Daguangming Temple is unfair?"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being orderly at the top and bottom, just don't sell dog meat with sheep's heads." Yang Ning said: "Since there are differences between the top and bottom of the temple, there is no need to preach to the outside that all living beings are equal. A bowl of rice will not be served equally, let alone other things. ." Then he said: "Yes, senior wants me to go to the Ordination Hall to receive punishment? I'm sorry, I'm not from Daguangming Temple, so I don't need senior to teach me."
