Star Iron: Cat Renaissance Abundance

Chapter 206 Seeking Refuge in Danlun Temple

After Bai Ling left the world bubble, he returned to the God's Messenger, which was the political center and military command center of the Rich Alliance.

Not long after Bai Ling sat on the throne and began to handle government affairs, a minister in charge of foreign affairs came to report.

"Report to the Divine Envoy, the abbot of the Danlun Division requests an audience."

Bai Ling put down the report in his hand and looked at the minister.

"The abbot of Danlun Temple? Call him in."

Bai Ling's majestic voice echoed in the hall.

"Yes."

The Foreign Minister hurried to invite the abbot of Danlun Temple, who had been waiting in the outer berth area of ​​the Divine Messenger.

Bai Ling remembered that he had seen some reports about Danlun Temple before.

They are a neutral organization that pursues balance, a miracle that survives in the gap between abundance and hunting.

More than a decade ago, when Bai Ling ordered the execution of Bu Liren, a fleet had asked Bai Ling if he would also eliminate the monks in Danlun Temple. Bai Ling had sternly refused.

Monks at Danlun Temple are required to wear a "Vajra Wheel" to observe the Five Great Precepts: abstaining from harm, abstaining from extravagance, abstaining from greed, abstaining from anger, and abstaining from laziness. However, monks of high moral character often do not wear the Vajra Wheel; their Vajra Wheel is already engraved in their hearts.

It was precisely because of Danlun Temple's special nature and good reputation in the universe that it was able to escape disaster. Since then, whenever the Alliance cleans up those scum and parasites within the Alliance, it will tacitly exclude Danlun Temple within the Alliance.

Any action alliance of Danlun Temple remained blind.

After the abbot of Danlun Temple entered the main hall under the leadership of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Bai Ling opened his eyes and looked down at the abbot of Danlun Temple who was treating him respectfully.

"I am the abbot of Danlun Temple, with the Buddhist name Huikong. I'm honored to meet the leader of the Abundant Alliance and the Divine Envoy." After Huikong said this, he bowed to Bai Ling again.

Bai Ling's face was serious, her eyes gleaming with awe. She straightened her body and spoke slowly in a dignified and solemn tone, "Abbot Huikong, I wonder what brings you here today?"

Abbot Huikong clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and replied devoutly, "Your Excellency, Medicine Master, I have long admired your name! I constantly study the precious texts you have passed down, gaining insights into the true meaning of Buddhism and the path to salvation. Because of this, I know you are a rare living bodhisattva, not only compassionate but also virtuous, with every act immeasurable in its merit. Now, at the earnest request of 7,821 monks from Danlun Temple, I come to implore you, the divine messenger, to protect us!"

Bai Ling was a little curious. Danlun Temple shouldn't be in any danger since it was surrounded by his alliance.

Bai Ling then asked, "Abbot Huikong, Danlun Temple is part of the alliance, and I have never restricted any of their actions. I have also never seen anyone bully Danlun Temple. Why are you seeking protection from the alliance?"

Abbot Huikong said with a sad face, "Your Excellency, you may not know that since its founding, Danlun Temple has occasionally suffered from external attacks and internal turmoil. However, it has been spared thanks to the grace of Master Yaoshi and Master Hu. Since 30 years ago, Danlun Temple has accepted many monks, some of whom committed mistakes and were expelled from the temple."

"I never imagined they would collude with the Extinction Gang and secretly attack the monks of Danlun Temple who were out begging for alms. If that were the case, Danlun Temple wouldn't dare seek your protection. However, the Extinction Gang, along with other evildoers, have bullied us monks. In just over three months, hundreds of monks at Danlun Temple have passed away!"

Bai Ling nodded slightly after hearing this, then asked, "If it was the Annihilation Gang who did this, then why didn't Danlun Temple beg for alms from the Alliance? Under my rule, the people live and work in peace and prosperity. Even the poorest families can be given vegetarian meals by Danlun Temple if they want. Even if the Annihilation Gang is rampant, they dare not set foot in the Alliance. This is what confuses me. Abbot, please explain."

"To be honest, sir! Ever since the Extinction Gang began attacking monks, Danlun Temple has been seeking help from within the Alliance. The people under your rule are very willing to help us monks, but Danlun Temple does not want to rely on the common people of the Alliance forever. For monks like us, we must save ourselves before we can save others!"

"Yes, you can. However, joining the alliance means being bound by its laws. I believe the abbot has already reviewed the alliance's laws. Although I respect the rules of Danlun Temple, there are inevitably some evil people among them. Abbot Huikong must have witnessed how I wiped out the Buli people and over 400 other races that had lost their humanity."

Bai Ling's tone gradually turned cold, and then he said:

"Abbot Huikong, why don't you go back and screen the monks within? This isn't to criticize Danlun Temple, nor does it discredit its reputation. It's simply that I'm in a position to be cautious. Once Danlun Temple is fully prepared, I will openly and honestly accept it as my patron saint in front of the entire galaxy. Furthermore, Danlun Temple will retain everything it once enjoyed, and the Alliance will not interfere with any of its internal policies. If anyone attacks monks begging for alms, the Alliance will consider their actions a violation of Alliance sovereignty and initiate military action to protect Danlun Temple."

"So, what does Abbot Huikong think?"

The abbot of Danlun Temple naturally understood Bai Ling's combination of kindness and force, a strategy of using a big stick and a sweet date. He was not worried about the alliance's review of the monks, because the alliance's review was more relaxed than the temple's review. As long as the monks strictly abided by the temple rules, they would definitely pass.

"Thank you, sir. I will go back and inform the monks of Danlun Temple to make preparations."

"Well, come here, call two sub-planetary fleets to escort Abbot Huikong. Don't let outsiders laugh at you."

Bai Ling immediately gave the order.

"Yes!" The personal guard at the side went down to give the order.

So Abbot Huikong returned to Danlun Temple under the escort of two mighty subplanet-level fleets.

Danlun Temple was originally a military starship. Later, when the first abbot of Danlun Temple decided to establish Danlun Temple, he seized control of the starship and fled far away. At that time, due to the fierceness of the war, everyone believed that the starship had been destroyed.

The Danlun Temple starship arrived at a star system devoid of any civilization, 12.4 light-years from the nearest star system. This distance, combined with the fact that the star Danlun Temple was located on was a red dwarf, was sufficient to isolate most forces.

So the first few thousand monks transformed the only habitable planet in this star system and settled down there. The military starship weapon was also dismantled by the monks and converted into a civilian facility for obtaining minerals.

After several major interstellar wars and the establishment of the Alliance, Danlun Temple, which was originally located in a quiet and isolated island, was unknowingly surrounded by the star system ruled by the Alliance.

Even if the alliance is not formed, Danlun Temple will be forced to seek asylum for many reasons, such as its star system is about to orbit the center of the Milky Way and is close to a battleground.
