Chapter 67: [062] Gathering People, Searching for the Buddha Statue_2
The big monk spoke very seriously, to the point where Wang Longhu was a bit taken aback.
All this was just too ahead of its time.
There was no choice, Wang Longhu had to invite the big monk inside, have him thoroughly detail the entire incident from beginning to end, only then did Wang Longhu understand what had truly happened.
"Just half an hour ago, Master Yan Jie was found unconscious by his apprentice on the stone marked by Guanyin’s foot at Xiandie Rock, with sixteen fractures all over his body and severe internal organ damage,
because it was raining, there were no traces of the perpetrator at the scene. When the ambulance took him to the hospital, Master Yan Jie still had a shred of consciousness, asking someone to find me at Yingzhou Zen Temple to meet him,
Although I’m of the Wen City Martial Arts Association, I have quite a friendship with Master Yan Jie. Before he entered the ICU, he said a few things to me, asking me to protect the Buddha statue, ensuring the Marrow Cleansing Scripture should never be taken out of Dong County," the big monk slowly recounted.
Upon hearing this, Wang Longhu, who had just changed clothes, couldn’t help but snort: "Aren’t monks supposed not to lie? This old monk hid it well, seems the Buddha statue was never lost, it has always been in his possession."
"You’re only half right," the big monk shook his head, "Master Yan Jie indeed didn’t lose the Buddha statue, but it’s not in his possession, it’s somewhere else."
"What’s the difference? Big monk, you rushed here looking for help means you have a purpose. You want me to protect the Buddha statue, making sure it isn’t snatched away?" Wang Longhu sat down, poured himself a cup of hot tea and asked.
