Chapter 394.2
Siege (4)
At this time, Abbot Benkong was sitting cross-legged in the city. And around him, there are monk disciples from Longhua Temple to protect him. Abbot Benkong slightly raised his head and looked in Chu Qing’s direction, with a look of pity on his face.
Beside him, a disciple of Longhua Temple clasped his hands together and asked, “The abbot seems to be hesitating, but why?”
Abbot Benkong sighed, and said, “Those puppets are not puppets, they are half-lived and half-dead people.
Although they were not killed by me, they died because of me. I came here to save people, but I committed killing in vain. One hundred thousand puppets are one hundred thousand links of karma, it seems that I am doomed, and I am afraid it will be difficult to escape.”
The surrounding disciples of Longhua Temple were all taken aback.
A disciple quickly asked, “Is there a way to crack it?”
Abbot Benkong shook his head, “The other party came prepared. If I withdrew my dharma, I would have escaped catastrophe. But the whole city will be destroyed. Now, with me alone in exchange for the safety of the whole city, it is already a great merit. I have made up my mind to deal with this calamity, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
All the disciples of Longhua Temple proclaimed the Buddha’s name one after another, with sad expressions on their faces.
