Chapter 75: Public opinion intensifies, abbot of Guangming Temple abdicates

As one hot search was pushed by the giant media, the matter about Zen Master Daguangming Temple ripping out people's hearts quickly exploded on the Internet.

Everyone was shocked by the scene in the video.

I don’t know how many believers in Buddhism were awakened by their children before dawn, and then fell into a daze for a long time while watching the content in the video.

Dawn breaks in Fangfang.

The number of discussions on this matter on the Internet has exceeded the [-] million mark.

"No, is this person really from Daguangming Temple? Daguangming Temple is the sect of Buddhism, a place of purity. How could there be such a demonic monk?"

"I also think this is not very reliable. Could it be that there is someone specifically in the Black Buddha Sect?"

"Black? Black as a feather! I saw this monk when I went to Daguangming Temple to offer incense. He is also the elder of the Du family in Guangming Temple!"

"Wait a minute, isn't this the same eminent monk who discussed Taoism with the master of Qingfeng Temple during the day and was silenced?"

"Wow, if you lose the debate during the day, you have to destroy someone else's door at night? Isn't this pattern too small?"

"I tell you, everyone, you should pay attention to the key points when reading the content. The most important thing now is, isn't this monk from Daguangming Temple a demon who rips out people's hearts?"

"This is really unbelievable and unbelievable. I originally thought that Buddhists were all compassionate monks, but now this has happened..."

"Family members, who knows? I just went to Daguangming Temple last month to kowtow and beg for a child, and now you are doing this for me? Then will my wish still come true?"

"You didn't have your heart ripped out that day, so you just had fun secretly. Are you still wondering whether your wish will work?"

"Oh my God, Zen Master Du'e is the holy monk in my mind. How could he do such a thing..."

"Da Guangming Temple, it is in vain that the world believes in you so much. Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"

"That's right!"

……

The scene of Du'e taking out Kongxing's heart and liver and eating it was so explosive that it made countless netizens drop their jaws and at the same time, they also attacked Daguangming Temple.

And the Daguangming Temple at that time.

In the Buddhist hall.

The abbot and all the leaders were also collectively furious.

"You bastard, you actually caused our temple to fall into such a turmoil of public opinion. Even being thrown into the eighteenth level of hell is not enough to vent your anger!"

"In recent years, the behavior of monks in various places has caused people to criticize our Buddhist sect. Now that such a scandal has occurred, what should we do?"

"And that Taoist priest, he actually knows the Golden Light Curse and the Five Thunder Methods. Hasn't Longhu Mountain been too busy taking care of itself these years? Why would such a person come down the mountain?"

"Who is the person in charge of Chanling Temple? There is such a Taoist priest there. Why didn't they report it earlier?"

"I've known for a long time that there was something wrong with Du'e. He's such a loser. Logically speaking, he has no chance of advancing to the Xuantong realm in this life. But it turns out that he entered the Xuantong realm earlier than me. It turns out that he took the path of a demon!"

"Abbott, now the whole network is waiting for our response. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that my position as the sect will not be guaranteed..."

The leaders and elders present were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

If there is a little negligence in this public opinion storm, Daguangming Temple may fall into the dust.

The abbot's expression was solemn, and after careful consideration he ordered:
"The management of Daguangming Temple was negligent and failed to detect the evil spirits in the door. The first crime lies with me."

"Immediately issue an announcement. I will abdicate and apologize to the entire network!"

what?
As soon as these words came out, the Buddhist temple was shocked.

All the chiefs and elders stood up: "Abbott, how can this be done? You are the pillar of our Daguangming Temple, how can you abdicate?"

Abbot Shi Shen said calmly: "This matter is related to the reputation of Buddhism. If I don't abdicate, it will be difficult to quell public anger. Besides, it is just a false name. If I retreat behind the scenes, won't I be able to handle the affairs of the temple?"

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other with a complex look in their eyes.Obviously the abbot's intention was very clear. Taking the blame and abdicating the throne was just to calm the public opinion. He still made the final decision on the temple's affairs.

"I wonder who the abbot is planning to appoint as his successor?" someone asked curiously.

The abbot looked at the head of the Law Enforcement Hall: "Junior Brother Shiwu will take charge of it."

Shi Wu, the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, was stunned: "Ah, me?"

He has profound cultivation, but has a straightforward personality, and is far inferior to other leaders in terms of strategy. He believes that the position of abbot is not something he can get involved in.

But now the abbot appointed himself to succeed him, which was so unexpected that he was temporarily at a loss.

On the contrary, the rest of the leaders and elders were like mirrors in their hearts.

The abbot was obviously afraid that he would be marginalized by the new abbot after resigning, so he appointed Shi Wu as his successor.

Shi Wu has a straightforward personality and simple scheming. He poses no threat to the abbot.

"It's a good arrangement."

After understanding the abbot's thoughts, some of the leaders expressed regret, but still expressed their agreement.

Only Shi Wu was still confused.

The abbot continued: "In addition, we urge temples across the country to restrain their behavior in recent times and conduct self-inspections. Anyone who dares to behave inappropriately will be directly removed from the Buddhist scriptures. By the way, we will also inform the entire network about the self-inspection of temples across the country. Let the world know my Buddhist repentance this time!"

Everyone nodded: "It should be so."

"There is also Zenling Temple. Inform them that the senior monks and above will abdicate collectively and come to the sect as soon as possible to wait for their abdication!"

Everyone agreed.

"According to the news, this Taoist priest from Changshi has been showing his prowess for more than a day or two. Chanling Temple is unable to solve it, and he still knows and fails to report it. He should be severely punished!"

Buddhism has always remembered that there should be no sparks.

Temples in various places are responsible for investigating local Taoist temples.

Any Taoist temple that shows signs of reversing the reputation of Taoism should be extinguished as soon as possible.

But Chanling Temple could actually sit back and watch that Taoist priest become famous on the Internet to such an extent!
This crime must not be taken lightly!
At this point, everyone looked sad again.

"Abbott, what should we do with that Taoist priest?" someone asked.

"Of course I have to kill him. He has ruined the reputation of our Buddhism. How can we spare his life?" Someone said with a cruel expression.

"Absurd, at this point, something is really going to happen to the Taoist priest. The whole network knows that it was me, a Buddhist, who did it. How can we take action at this time?" someone shouted.

"Is it possible that he just let it go? Haven't you seen the current trend of the Internet? He has attracted so many followers!" Some people were indignant.

For a while, everyone started arguing endlessly about how to deal with the Taoist priest's problem.

Until the abbot stopped him.

"okay."

Everyone quickly fell silent and waited for the next words.

The abbot then slowly said: "People must be killed, but not at this time."

"He has a great reputation now, and if something happens to him, he will be outraged."

"So, if you want to touch him, you have to destroy his reputation first."

"Then his death will be what the people want!"
