Chapter 328 - A Monk and a Bun
Xue Yinlong’s shameless response stunned Zhang Dongyun and his five brothers. But after that brief moment of shock, they immediately erupted into a barrage of curses.
"Bullshit, you bastard!"
"Despicable bald donkey!"
"Shameless! How can you call yourself a monk?!"
Zhang Dongyun’s veins throbbed with fury..
"I never expected the so-called Sky-supporting Arhat, Xue Yinlong, to be this shameless! You actually dare to spout such self-deceiving nonsense? And you still have the gall to chant sutras before the Buddha?!"
The old monk remained expressionless.
"As a humble monk, I know well the weight of the sins I have committed in my early years. The previous abbot took pity on me, personally shaved my head, and granted me the Dharma name Zhishan, hoping that I would learn to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong.
"Thus, I now recite scriptures before the Buddha day and night, seeking to bring peace to the departed souls and cleanse my past transgressions. Your elder brother, naturally, is among those I have been praying for."
"And just because you say you've given him peace, we're supposed to believe you?" The crowd refused to accept his reasoning and started cursing again. "You killed a man! And now you think a few sutras will erase that crime?!"
"And you call yourself Zhishan? Pah! You don't deserve that name!"
"A life for a life!"
