Chapter 623 Reopening the Mountain Gate
Huang Shang was a little unsure of the origins of these people. He really couldn't think of a person of any identity who could do such a thing. This kind of excitement seemed completely unreasonable and looked like a battle of spirits.

Tong Guan said coldly: "Master, tell us who is the distinguished guest who does not need to be avoided?"

The master abbot said: "This is a kind person who donated money to repair the temple."

Only then did Huang Shang understand that from a certain perspective, these people were indeed not outsiders and could be regarded as shareholders of Hanshan Temple.

Tong Guan was unmoved. Is this a reason for them not to avoid it?

"so what?"

The abbot master was also a little speechless. This reason was indeed not sufficient. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Yitian, hoping that he would let him go because he was also a member of the Buddhist sect. After all, he is the protagonist of this temple visit.

Yitian did not want to embarrass the abbot master. Although he was a prince, he had already entered Buddhism. Cleaning up the place wherever he went would not be good for his reputation and would also delay his practice.

At this time, whether he is willing or not, he must rescue the abbot master.

Yi Tian rushed to Huang Shang and said, "Sir, forget it. Buddhist disciples pray to Buddha for their state of mind."

Huang Shang smiled, stopped Tong Guan, and said, "Sir, please calm down."

Although Tong Guan was a eunuch and considered a close minister of the emperor, he was now out of power. This group of people were all high officials of the imperial court, and Tong Guan became the general manager of this group, taking care of the trip in an orderly manner.

Huang Shang looked on with cold eyes and praised in his heart: "If I were a leader and had such a person beside me, even if he is a idiot, he would still have to be reused. It is really comfortable and worry-free to have him serve."

Huang Shang was the number one scholar in three consecutive years and an outstanding representative of the scholar-bureaucrat class. Tong Guan did not have the capital to be domineering in front of Huang Sang at this time.

Fortunately, this person has a charming personality, knows how to advance and retreat, and is the best at observing people's emotions. Although it is not easy to get this job of following Yi Tiannan, Huang Shang did not show any disrespect to him along the way, so he followed the steps Huang Shang handed him and kept silent.

Huang Shang asked: "Looking at how young this young master is, has your temple undergone major renovations in recent years?"

The master abbot shook his head and said: "They are the ancestors of this young master."

"Oh."

Huang Shang said: "The national master is from outside the country. He comes here to worship Buddha and seek Dharma. He will not refuse people thousands of miles away. Please be at ease, master. It is us laymen who have made our own decisions and disturbed the order of your temple. Please also ask Master Haihan. Let’s go to the temple to worship Buddha. Master, please open the mountain gate and let all the pilgrims who have the heart of Buddha come in.”

The abbot master was overjoyed, bowed and clasped his hands and said: "I will lead the imperial master and all of you to the inner hall now."

Huang Shang did not move, however, and said to the abbot, "Master, please open the mountain gate first to let the pilgrims in."

The abbot master was stunned. Huang Shang said it politely, but he couldn't take it seriously.

The incense in Hanshan Temple is still very strong. If you really open the mountain door, you don't know how many people will come in. Those five people would not rush into this group of people, but there were too many other people coming in, so there was no telling.

He thought that the matter would be brushed aside and he would just let Yitian finish praying to the Buddha in silence, and then he would be done.

But he didn't expect Huang Shang to force him to open the mountain gate first. He didn't know what his intention was.

Huang Shang saw that the abbot was stunned, but still smiled and said: "Master, please open the mountain gate first, we are not in a hurry."

But the abbot master read a hint of chill in Huang Shang's kind smile, and it seemed that he couldn't do it without opening the mountain gate first.

How dare the abbot open the mountain gate and said: "Sir, those people are..." Huang Shang waved his hand to interrupt the abbot's words and said: "They are pilgrims, and the others are also pilgrims. Hanshan Temple does not belong to any family, so please invite the master Mercy, let other pilgrims go into the temple to offer incense.”

This was serious. Huang Shang didn't mention that it was his group that prevented others from getting in, and he didn't even listen to who these people were. Since someone has come in, let them all come in.

The abbot did not dare to say, "I closed the mountain gate today for you." He told Huang Shang that for the sake of the master's safety, he would not let anyone in, so what happened to the few people who were let in?

It seemed that the scholar-sister-in-law had let him go, but what he said next was all smiles, and he couldn't do it unless he opened the mountain gate.

If something unexpected happened, I would have no choice but to walk around without food.

The master abbot told his young novice: "Follow your instructions and open the mountain gate."

Huang Shang smiled again: "Master, please don't treat one favorably. We are all Buddhist believers. Please ask Master to open the mountain gate in person."

Who does this "thick" refer to?
The abbot master personally welcomed his group of people in from the mountain gate. I should be talking about his group of people.

But the master abbot always felt that Huang Shang was talking about the five people he let in.

The abbot's heart was filled with regret at this time. He really shouldn't have let those five people stay in the temple, making it difficult for him now.

The master abbot did not dare to say any nonsense, and he bowed and walked quickly towards the mountain gate with his people.

Huang Shang and the others didn't leave either. They just looked towards the direction where the abbot left with a smile on their faces. They seemed to stay still unless they saw any pilgrims entering the temple. As for the five people who were let in by the abbot, no one looked at them twice.

Tong Guan looked at the secretly frightened Huang Xianggong, who was reading poetry and books. He was always smiling along the way, but he was really hot at what he did, and you couldn't find anything wrong with him.

No wonder they can defeat the barbaric party members at the negotiation table.

At this time, the young master who was watching the excitement in the room came out, cupped his fists at Huang Shang and said, "Your Excellency, it is too much to embarrass the abbot master like this."

He had to come out. It seemed that Huang Shang was embarrassing the abbot, but in fact he was slapping him in the face. If he hadn't stayed here and refused to leave, how could the abbot master be forced to move forward or retreat?

And this young master is really confident. He would know that the group of people in front of him are from the imperial court, but they point out Huang Shang's fault.

Huang Shang glanced at the young master and said calmly: "Young Master is serious. We just feel that we have disturbed the order of Hanshan Temple and violated the high principles of the Imperial Master. We are correcting our own mistakes. I only hope that the Imperial Master and the Abbot Master will not Why is it so difficult to blame us common people?"

After saying that, he turned his eyes back to the direction where the abbot master left, without even looking at the young master.

The young master was young and had never been so scorned before. His handsome face turned red with anger and he didn't know how to defend himself.

Huang Shang sneered in his heart, in this three-acre land, how could the powerful person have such great abilities? Even if the people here are not of high rank, they are all sent by the emperor himself. If they don't hold the Shangfang Sword, they are still regarded as imperial envoys. At such a young age, they really don't know what to say.

A person behind the young master said angrily: "Discourteous!"

How dare you dare to rebuke a high official in the imperial court like this.

However, Huang Shang didn't get angry with him, but this time he didn't even turn his head. He just glanced at him sideways and looked away again.
