If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Seeing that the flies around her had been thwarted by Zhou Wu, Li Shishi became interested and followed Zhou Wu closely, thinking she could use him to drive them away.

"Thump~~~Thump~~~~Thump~~~"

Just then, the bell at the mountain gate rang.

"We're so lucky today! The three chimes mean the abbot of Jinshan Temple is about to give a lecture. Let's hurry and grab a good spot."

Li Xixue pulled Zhou Wu and hurried towards the main hall in the center of Jinshan Temple, and the others followed closely behind.

Zhou Wu looked around and saw that all the pilgrims were heading in the same direction.

"It seems this host has a high reputation."

Since he had nothing else to do, Zhou Wu followed along.

Despite their haste, they still couldn't get a spot at the very front.

"It's all your fault, you dawdled and now we don't have any seats at the front."

Li Xixue blamed Zhou Wu for the whole problem, and Zhou Wu could only laugh awkwardly.

"The wisdom of a person lies not in distance."

"What do you mean?"

"Girl, did he say you're stupid?"

Although Zheng Xiang dared not offend Zhou Wu, he was also happy to take the opportunity to do something bad.

"Hmph, mind your own business."

However, Li Xixue didn't appreciate it at all. She was right there when Zheng Xiang and Zhou Wu were arguing, so how could she possibly give Zhou Wu's enemy a friendly look?

With no seats available in the front row, the group found random places to sit and listened to the old monk's sermon.

It has to be said that the old monk's sermon had a very obvious effect on Zhou Wu. In less than fifteen minutes, Zhou Wu was already deeply asleep and even started snoring, which was something he hadn't done in a long time. It seems that his sleep quality was indeed better than at home.

"Huff...huff..."

In the quiet hall, Zhou Wu's snoring was particularly noticeable.

People all around cast disdainful glances, wondering who was behaving so improperly in this solemn place.

"who is it."

The old monk was clearly annoyed that his sermon was interrupted by snoring. His kind and gentle demeanor vanished, and his eyes began to search for the troublemaker in the crowd.

Soon, the old abbot and the believers focused their attention on Zhou Wu at the very back.

"Zhou Wu, wake up."

“Lord Zhou, wake up.”

Li Xixue and Li Shishi quickly shook Zhou Wu awake, but he was looking at them with a mocking smile.

"What's wrong? get out of class is over, hurry up and eat."

Zhou Wu's words only drew more contempt from those around him.

"Amitabha Buddha, this is a sacred Buddhist site. Please leave immediately."

The abbot showed Zhou Wu no respect whatsoever, and was even somewhat enraged because Zhou Wu had interfered with his sermon.

"Sorry, I got too engrossed in listening."

Zhou Wu had no intention of arguing with the monk, but his initiative to back down only provoked the monk to take even more outrageous actions.

"You madman, you clearly disrespect my sacred Buddhist site. Guards, throw him out of the mountain gate."

An old monk who appeared out of nowhere also chimed in, even clamoring to kick Zhou Wu out.

“Master, monks are supposed to be compassionate and have a tolerant heart. How could you so easily understand the precept against anger?”

Zhou Wu was not affected by the monks' actions. Instead, he calmly countered, but his words broke the monks' defenses.

"You clever little thief, how dare you speak so presumptuously about Buddhist matters? Get out of here now!"

Zhou Wu was not one to suffer injustice. Since they had come to his doorstep, Zhou Wu naturally wouldn't give them any face.

Li Xixue and Li Shishi, who were standing to the side, were also shocked. The monk, who was usually so dignified, was being so unreasonable today.

"You bunch of bald monks! You're all so sanctimonious all the time, but now you're really like this. You have no tolerance for others at all. How can you be monks?"

Li Xixue was the first to stand up and help Zhou Wu scold the group of monks.

"You little brat, judging by your attire, you're probably not from a respectable family. This is a sacred Buddhist place, and you're not welcome here."

The words that she wasn't from a respectable family ignited Li Xixue's anger, and Zhou Wu was also furious that a bunch of old monks were actually cursing at a young girl.

Li Xixue immediately started smashing things in the main hall. In her entire life, she had never suffered such humiliation.

Li Shishi and Zheng Xiang, who were standing to the side, were stunned. Although these bald monks were hateful, no one had ever dared to smash things at Jinshan Temple before.

Li Shishi initially thought the girl was just being immature, but when she glanced at Zhou Wu beside her and saw that he didn't seem inclined to stop her, she suddenly realized that the girl's identity might be different.

"They've rebelled! They've dared to cause trouble at Jinshan Temple! Guards, seize them!"

Several large monks suddenly appeared from all sides, ready to grab Zhou Wu and Li Xixue. How could Zhou Wu let them have their way?

They each launched a powerful attack, which opened the eyes of everyone present.

"How dare you! I am Zhou Wu, the Grand Commander of the South China Sea. I have been granted the imperial edict that grants me the privilege of being present in person. How dare you!"

When the monk saw the gold medal and then looked at Zhou Wu, he panicked. He hadn't expected that the other party would have such a powerful background at such a young age.

However, after looking at the believers in front of him, the monk immediately felt confident.

Buddhism is the number one religion in the Great Dragon Kingdom, with millions of followers. Even His Majesty shows great respect to Buddhism. So what can a mere Grand Commander of the South China Sea do?

After giving the monks another beating, Zhou Wu led the group away.

The next day, the incident became a hot topic throughout the city, known to everyone. Censors, upon hearing the news, launched a series of impeachments against Zhou Wu for causing trouble in a Buddhist holy site.

Although the monks were rude, Zhou Wu was indeed in the wrong for sleeping. More importantly, this incident had a great impact on the believers.

"Punish the wicked."

"Give me back the tranquility of Buddhism."

"Severely punish the murderer."

The common people in feudal society were mostly ignorant. They only listened to the monks' one-sided words and concluded that Zhou Wu was a villain.

. . . . . .

"Your Majesty, Zhou Wu caused a great disturbance at Jinshan Temple yesterday, disturbing the tranquility of the Buddhist monastery. Now, the people of the capital are petitioning the court to punish Zhou Wu. Your Majesty should investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Your Majesty, Zhou Wu's actions are outrageous and should not be tolerated."

"Your Majesty, if Zhou Wu's actions anger the gods, it will surely implicate my Great Dragon."

The officials' accusations became increasingly exaggerated. In fact, Li Xixue had already told Li Tiancheng the truth when she returned to the palace last night. Li Tiancheng was fair and believed that both sides were at fault, and since it was just a small matter, he did not pursue the matter further.

But he never expected that the Buddhist influence had spread so far that it could now control the people of Dalong.

Li Tiancheng had no time to think about how to punish Zhou Wu. Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with the Buddhist sect. Now that the Buddhist sect had grown strong, it was impossible to confront it head-on. Doing so would only provoke a surge of rebellious sentiment among the people, which would be counterproductive.

"Alright, Zhou Wu is to be confined to Guan for a month and have his salary deducted for half a year. Court adjourned."
