Female Buddha

Chapter 124 Succession Ceremony ([-])

Qingli had a short period of free time after finishing the ceremony for Qingtan to be promoted to elder.Only then did she realize that the elite disciples from each branch looked at her strangely.She could understand the admiration and envy in their eyes, but why did these people still look at her with resentment?She was not some heartless person who abandoned them.As a result, Qingli, who originally wanted to communicate with the future abbots of each branch temple, started avoiding them.It wasn't that Qingli was too fragile, but that she felt goosebumps all over her body when a group of grown men looked at her with resentful eyes, and she couldn't think of anything to talk about.And those elite disciples finally wanted to get close to Qingli, hoping to get some cultivation tips from her.Finally they discovered that this Buddhist disciple was hiding from them.This made their eyes look at Qingli even more resentful.

"Senior brother, did those disciples take the wrong medicine? Why do they look at me with such resentment in their eyes?" Qingli, who couldn't bear it anymore, asked Qingtan for advice.

"Hehe." Qingtan couldn't help laughing, he had seen enough good shows these days, "Those children were hit by you. Think about them. They are outstanding figures in each branch temple. As a result, they were hit as soon as they entered Fahua Temple No. And you, as the person who hit them the hardest, how can they see you without resentment?"

Qingli thought for a while before she suddenly realized: "Since when did Fahua Temple still do the business of whetstones? Brother, you are too much, and you didn't remind me."

"Fahua Temple has always been used as a sharpening stone for other branch temples. Don't blame me, I also came here in the same way." Qingtan took it for granted.

Qingli squinted her eyes slightly: "I understand, it's like a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law for many years. When she was a daughter-in-law, she was bullied, but now she is a mother-in-law. Of course, it is enough to bully her back. But I always thought it was only for women. I didn't expect my senior brother to have such emotions. What a tsk tsk..." After speaking, Qingli quickly left.

Qingtan stood there for a while before realizing that she was ridiculed by Qingli as a mother-in-law who bullied her new daughter-in-law.He shook his head and said with a smile: "As expected, Junior Sister will not suffer."

With the approach of the Buddha's succession ceremony, Qingli became more and more busy.She doesn't need to be busy with the ceremony.But the succession ceremony of the Buddha's son was originally a major event of the Buddhist sect. The academies who had helped Qingli share the affairs were busy with the ceremony, so Qingli could only face other affairs by herself.The succession ceremony of Qingli's Buddha son is scheduled to be held on the seventh day of April.This is because the second day is the Buddha's birthday, and this year's Buddha's birthday ceremony will naturally be presided over by Qingli.Therefore, Qingli not only had to deal with the affairs reported by the various branch temples, but also took time to review and ask Qingtan for the process and precautions of hosting the Buddha's Birthday Dharma Assembly.This made Qingli wish she could use it 24 hours a day.

From the fifth day of April, guests from various sects began to visit Fahua Temple one after another.The outer courtyard of Fahua Temple has always been open to the outside world.Because to enter the inner courtyard, you will pass through the Wannian pine forest and the apricot forest.In order not to arouse the covetousness of other sects, they generally do not open the inner courtyard.Only monks who are close friends with the elders or disciples of the temple can enter the inner courtyard.However, the succession ceremony of the Buddha must be held in the largest Daxiong Hall in the inner courtyard.Therefore, during the ceremony, Fahua Temple will use arrays to cover the Wannian pine forest and apricot forest, and use the teleportation array to directly transport the guests to the square in front of the main hall in the inner courtyard.

The guests who came to watch the ceremony were received by disciples of the Hengzi generation of Fahua Temple and several elite disciples from the branch temple.As for the guests with high seniority, disciples of Hengzi generation will notify the inner courtyard, and the great monk of Qing Dynasty generation will come forward to receive them.The disciples of the pure generation serve as the guides of the Guest Court of the Outer Court.Find them to solve your daily problems.

Because Qingli is still young now, it also means that if there is no accident, Qingli will stay in the position of Buddha for a long time.As for the Buddhist disciples who are in charge of the Buddhist sects, of course the ones who deal with them are the heads of the various sects or the real masters who have real power.The longer Qingli is a Buddha, it means that other sects are likely to transfer power during the period.Therefore, the guests who came to watch the ceremony this time were basically the heads of various factions bringing candidates for the next head or the candidate for the next head to watch the ceremony.These candidates are young, all under a hundred years old, and all of them are disciples who have entered the golden core stage.For a time, Fahua Temple can be described as a gathering of heroes.

This time, the ones who came to Qingyun Sect were the sect master Xuanqing Zhenjun, his eldest disciple Wu Qifeng, and his younger disciple Xiao Yezhan.The ones who came from the Yunhua Sect were also the master Yun Lingzi, his first disciple Feng Yuanchen, and his only female disciple Qingshuang.The head of Wan Jianzong retreated because his cultivation base was about to break through, but it was Qingtan and Qingli's old acquaintances Lingxu Jianzun, Quanyi Zhenren, and Murong Yu who came.The other second-rate sects present were all the sect masters and their senior disciples.After all, the guests from the great sects who came to congratulate them only brought two disciples, so of course they could not exceed the three major sects.Only Zhang Jiajia from Wanyao Valley is not a disciple of the palm sect, but because he is Qingli's good friend, he also came with his master.Among this group of disciples, Murong Yu and Zhang Jiajia had the lowest cultivation levels.But both of them hadn't passed the ten-year mark, and the disciples of the Golden Core stage didn't dare to underestimate them.In addition, this is Fahua Temple after all, so they dare not make trouble here.So this group of heaven's favored children gathered together unexpectedly harmoniously.

Zhang Jiajia and Murong Yu met together.Both of them knew that Qingli would be busy with the affairs of the Buddhist sect after succeeding as the disciple of the Buddha, and the days of getting together would probably be much less in the future.Moreover, even if Qingli goes out for a walk in the future, the level of acquaintance is probably the people in power of various sects.They are now only elite disciples in the sect, and they are really not qualified to go to those occasions.Of course, the two of them didn't doubt that Qingli underestimated them.It's just that this is not true, they have to work harder in order to have more time with their friends in the future.Just like Qingtan and Sword Master Lingxu.The two did not meet because of each other's identities.But they can maintain this friendship for a long time because of their equal status.The two who have always been ignorant of common affairs decided to speed up their pace in the future, so as to be able to speak in the Zongmen's management as soon as possible.

At this moment, Qingli also knew that the two friends had arrived at the temple.But she really didn't have time to meet them.Since she entered the relic realm, she has started to fast.It's not that you can't eat anymore, but that your body can no longer need to eat.However, one month before the start of the succession ceremony, Qingli must burn incense and bathe no matter how busy she is.In the past few days, Qingtan has taken over the tasks in Qingli's hands.Apart from taking a bath for half an hour in the morning and evening, Qingli had to sit cross-legged in front of the altar on the top floor of the Sutra Library and chant sutras and Buddhas during the rest of the time.On the seventh day of April, when Qingli went to take a bath, she felt that she smelled of incense from inside to outside.
