Chapter 116: No More Pretending, Cards on the Table 1
Dream Dao Attainment: Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
The Dream-Making Expert
“Fahai, get your ass over here right now!”
A furious roar echoed through the temple.
When the disciples in the Scripture Pavilion heard this voice filled with endless rage, they instinctively looked toward Lin Qi.
The two three-flowered cows swished their tails, so happy they wished they could whip out a flower-shaped tail.
“Senior Brother.”
Ye Qianli’s face paled slightly as he looked at Lin Qi with worry.
Jian Wuming also looked at Lin Qi with a grave expression.
Lin Qi smiled and waved his hand, instructing them, “Don’t worry. As long as you revere the Buddha as you revere me, you will be safe and sound. Just focus on copying the Buddhist scriptures.”
With that, Lin Qi took the few alchemy scriptures that had been delivered, reading as he walked, leisurely heading toward the Mahavira Hall.
Inside the Mahavira Hall, the Golden-Bodied Bodhisattva and Golden-Bodied Arhat who had been sent to retrieve the treasures had not yet returned.
The Mahavira Hall, originally sacred and solemn, was now empty, to the point of seeming somewhat eerie.
Especially when Bodhidharma, sitting cross-legged in the hall with a face full of fury, looked over coldly, it made one somewhat afraid.
“Amitabha, why is Senior Brother angry?”
Lin Qi chanted a Buddhist invocation and spoke with a smile.
“Junior Brother, at this point, why do you still pretend not to know!”
“You colluded with outsiders to steal many of our temple’s supreme treasures.”
“This is the crime of treason. You should be cast into reincarnation, never to be liberated for all eternity!”
Bodhidharma said furiously.
“Hey, Senior Brother. We may be close, but if you spout nonsense like that, be careful or I’ll sue you for defamation!”
Lin Qi waved his hand. “The temple’s disciples can use their contributions to exchange for various treasures in the Treasure Vault. This is a long-standing rule of Kongxiang Temple.”
“If they exchanged for them reasonably and in accordance with the rules, how could that be called theft?”
“If someone really did steal the temple’s treasures…”
“I am willing to investigate to the very end together with Senior Brother. Find one, deal with one. No leniency!”
“At this point, you still dare to quibble!”
Bodhidharma was enraged. “If you hadn’t promoted and appointed those people as Core Disciples, what right would they have to exchange for items in the Core Disciple Treasure Vault!”
“If you hadn’t informed them in advance, how could they have seized the timing and emptied the vault the very first moment the treasures manifested!”
“Junior Brother, do you really think your actions can be hidden from me, hidden from the eyes of all the Buddhas?”
“If you want no one to know, don’t do it.”
“Do you have evidence?”
Lin Qi’s smile faded. He casually stroked the alchemy scripture in his hand and countered.
Then, without waiting for Bodhidharma to speak, Lin Qi said lightly, “To catch a thief, you need the stolen goods; to catch adultery, you need them in bed. Everyone in Kongxiang Temple cannot escape Senior Brother’s dharma eye.”
