90,000 Years of Longevity

How many years had the Buddha existed?

Whether it was the Taoist Trinity Era or the Sakyamuni Era, Ye Bei had experienced it.

He even gave them pointer personally.

Regarding the talk about the inheritance of Buddha…

In fact, it was difficult for even Ye Bei to find a basis.

There was a Buddha in the age of mythology. But before the age of mythology, there were also Buddhas.

That seemed to be a unique culture, like him – Ye Bei, through a special way, he would last forever in the world.

Just those years were too long.

Countless ordinary people had long been in that long river and had forgotten the truth.

As for Ye Bei... when drifting in that long river, he occasionally made up many bizarre stories because of some bad tastes or wanted to make the world familiar with the Buddha and familiar with historical allusions through some special ways.

Just like Sakyamuni, in modern history, he and the Tathagata were the same people.

But Ye Bei knew...

Ye Bei knew that Tathagata was Tathagata, and Sakyamuni was Sakyamuni.

One was the existence in the age of mythology, and the other was the ordinary person in the new age and nothing more.

The same was true for the existence of the Taoist Trinity.

Who could tell the truth?

It was entirely possible that only Ye Bei, who had run through the long river of time, could understand. Unfortunately, those truths had become a unique culture with the changes of the times. Many times, even if Ye Bei spoke out, no one might believe it.

Moreover, in many cases, Ye Bei couldn't find a suitable person to speak to.

...

"Tathagata!"

In front of the gate of Soaring Cloud Temple, the surrounding voices were mixed, and Ye Bei dealt with it calmly. After a while, he whispered one word in his mouth.

That fallen Buddha in front of him was not Sakyamuni...

It was the Tathagata in the mythical world.

At that time, he followed Ye Bei and was one of his most powerful subordinates. Compared with modern Wang An, it was not known how much stronger he was. He controlled the Western Heaven, spoke the law, and claimed the truth.

Just in the infinite river of times, the Tathagata had passed away.

But every time... as long as Ye Bei came to the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue would collapse suddenly, showing a kneeling posture.

Tathagata might still be alive.

There might be some peculiar power in the dark.

Those golden Buddhas had supernatural influences.

It was not the first time that Ye Bei had experienced the kneeling of a Buddha statue. It was for these reasons that he often came to the temple to see its current Great Master.

Times were changing.

But ideology, which was a continued tradition, was still there.

Modern people might not be able to fully inherit the wisdom of the ancients, but in continuous learning, they could improve in many aspects of wisdom and improve it to a quite high level.

As the word that Ye Bei said fell, the golden Buddha statue that fell on the ground moved again, and a large number of stones turned into fragments and rattled.

"This…"

"Hurry up and get this guy away."

"The Buddha is still angry."

The people around were still continuing.

Many people were eager to try and ready to step forward to pull Ye Bei away. 

But looking at the fallen Buddha statue, they didn't have the guts. Although they kept blaming Ye Bei, what happened today was indeed too weird.

When the atmosphere here became extremely heavy, a crisp voice came.

"Master Abbot is here!"

The voice came directly from the back of Soaring Cloud Hall, and at the same time that the voice fell, immediately after that, there were waves of breathtaking chanting sounds from inside.

A monk wearing a kasaya could be seen, his hands folded together. His face was solemn. He paced calmly and he bowed his head and walked forward. (A/N: Kasaya - a Sanskrit word, means robes specifically for monks and nuns to wear.)

"Coming…"

"I'm afraid that this kid is over, even the Abbot here is alarmed!"

"This Abbot… isn't he the legendary Great Master of Soaring Cloud Temple?"

"Yes, it's him!"

Many people were talking outside the temple.

When these words came out, an old man who thought he was compassionate took a little thought and took the initiative to step forward. He walked to the side of Ye Bei and whispered, "The master was alarmed. Everyone now thinks that the golden Buddha's fall is related to you, but I just saw that you did not move… you should just keep silent later. I was lucky enough to meet the Great Master once, so I will beg him for you, maybe you will be okay."

Tang Anhe happened to hear this too.

At this moment, he also took a step forward, "Yes, I am here this time with a referral letter. Although I don't have a good impression of you, I can help you if I can help. Just don't talk nonsense later."

When he said this, Tang Anhe looked very serious.

It was just that he just said this in his mouth. He definitely didn't really want to help Ye Bei. He even wanted Ye Bei to be severely punished once because of some of the previous things.

However, he was also a Buddhist believer. He knew very well that there were many Buddhist rules.

Some guilty people, on the contrary, often got the opportunity to repent. The only price was to convert to Buddhism.

If Ye Bei entered this temple and became a monk when he arrived in the future, although it was said that he had been forbidden and abandoned his entire life, this was not what Tang Anhe wanted to see. His idea was very simple, after Ye Bei came down the mountain, he would immediately go to find some acquaintances to investigate him… then, he would think of a way to give Ye Bei more pain.

It was interesting to organize people like that.

"No need!"

Just when Tang Anhe was thinking about some layouts, Ye Bei spoke, his tone was very calm, without any emotion, he refused on the spot.

Ugh?

The old man who came to Ye Bei first was taken aback, frowned, thinking to himself that the young man didn't know what was good or bad. 

And Tang Anhe also frowned with a look of irritation, "Humph! Do you really think you are a big man? You're not happy that I want to help you intercede? Then I want to see how long you can pretend! This is really the so-called young and frivolous."

Ye Bei said nothing.

These two people always judged the situation with their own thinking.

They always thought that they were right.

They didn't know that their behaviors were ridiculous in Ye Bei's eyes.

Ta, ta, ta...

The footsteps of the monks and the sound of chanting were getting closer.

Seeing Ye Bei ignored them, the old man and Tang Anhe quickly backed away. When they looked at Ye Bei, there was no slight feeling in their eyes anymore.

A few minutes later, the entire temple's 49 monks all walked out and walked into this Soaring Cloud Hall.

They looked solemn.

They put their hands together. 

Among them, Master Abbot standing in a kasaya was with a red face.

Outside, there were at least three hundred pilgrims and tourists.

When they saw the posture of the Abbot coming out, they all focused on Ye Bei, and they all secretly guessed how the Abbot would handle this matter after a while.

When the Abbot entered the lobby, he immediately saw Ye Bei standing in front of the door.

Afterward, in front of hundreds of people, he walked towards Ye Bei. 

"Donor, this monk dares to ask, did you break this Buddha statue?" The Abbot took the initiative to speak, and there was silence around him.

When many monks who didn't understand cause and effect heard this question, they all looked at Ye Bei with unkind eyes.

The crowd outside was even more staring and glaring.

Huhu!

All of a sudden, the air became cold.
