“Dr. Chen, I want to punch him,” Pang Guang said coldly.

“Me too.”

Chen Yu replied.

“Dear patrons, the Buddhist incense sold by our temple is not compulsory. The sale is entirely voluntary.”

“Everyone, please disperse. Don’t delay the other devotees from burning incense and praying.”

Not gonna lie, the old man’s sob story made many devotees donate generously. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The crowd gradually dispersed.

More than a dozen devotees who were prepared to buy expensive incense followed the young monk to the Buddhist fate circulation place not far away.

“This fucking old thing. He doesn’t even blink when he lies!”

“It’s the same price a few decades ago—my ass!”

“This old fart is obviously hired by this temple.”

Pang Guang grumbled about how everything was overturned in the Age of Chaos.

Those who were capable were all starving to death.

On the other hand, useless hucksters were accumulating wealth and earning buckets of money.

As he spoke, Pang Guang recalled something.

There was a strange thing written in the mission report. Anyone who came here to burn incense and worship Buddha would get what they wanted.

Following that, these people would encounter bad luck.

“Dr. Chen, are there any demons or evil spirits in this temple?”

“How did those devotees get what they wanted?”

“Regardless, 1 don’t believe that it’s Buddha’s blessing.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu glanced at the Great Buddha Hall in front of him. “It’s not Buddha’s blessing,” he said. “It’s a demon’s blessing.”

“What?” Pang Guang was stunned for a moment before he continued, “If there’s an evil spirit in the temple, why didn’t any of the dozen or so people that Captain Li sent notice the problem?”

“This is not an ordinary demon. It is very difficult for ordinary people from the Mystic Sect to detect the problem.”

“In addition, there are some special reasons why the demon is concealed.”

Other than the two points above, the first person sent by Li Changjun was discovered by the demon.

Thus, the demons in the temple took the initiative to hide their bodies and auras.

This was the main reason why they did not discover any problems even after a long time.

“Dr. Chen, if you put it that way, I’m even more confused,” Pang Guang said curiously.

“Although I didn’t participate in the investigation of this case, I heard that the people sent here are all experienced agents.”

“Where did they reveal their flaws?”

Chen Yu smiled faintly and pointed at his heart.

“???”

Pang Guang was absolutely puzzled.

“Captain Li once purchased a large number of cartoon sticker labels from me to use as a new type of bulletproof vest,” Chen Yu said with a wry smile.

“Most of it is reserved for the members of your investigation unit, and a small portion is used as emergency supplies.”

“Because they don’t know the inside story of this temple, they’re worried that the people sent to investigate will be in danger.”

“Thus, Captain Li gave everyone a cartoon sticker.”

“The staff who came in to check on the fire department all had cartoon posters on their chests. Do you think they wouldn’t be exposed?”

“Oh…”

Pang Guang was enlightened.

So, this was the reason why their identities were exposed.

Pang Guang had once seen the cartoon sticker Chen Yu sold to the department.

Although it was called a cartoon sticker, it was actually a disguised spiritual tool.

It was imbued with spiritual energy and had extraordinary power.

Once an ordinary person wore it, they would not be harmed by demons or evil spirits.

The fact that these demons didn’t run away on the spot showed that they had extraordinary abilities.

Then, the two of them began to wander aimlessly.

The temple was full of tourists and monks.

Apart from them, there were also many volunteers and laymen who wore badges in the temple.

They offered a chance for your wish to come true in exchange for money.

The interior of the Great Buddha’s Hall was decorated with golden splendor, revealing its extravagance and extraordinariness.

The golden body of the Great Buddha in the middle was dazzling to the eyes.

Walking inside, Pang Guang actually felt a sense of awe.

With his hands in his pockets, Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the several-meter-tall Buddha statue.

“If Tuobatao, Li Yan, Yuwen Yong, and Chai Rong came here, I wonder what they would think.”

“Dr. Chen, who are the people you just mentioned?”

Pang Guang asked curiously.

“The four of them have an indissolvable bond with Buddhism and are good at temple renovation.”

Pang Guang nodded after hearing that.

So they are architects of Buddhist temples.

“It’s about time. Let’s go over.”

Chen Yu took out his phone and glanced at it.

There were only a few minutes left until the half-hour mark.

Pang Guang didn’t say anything else and followed Chen Yu back to the temple.

A brand new black car was parked in the previous spot.

“Whoa! A 2024 Cullinan!”

Pang Guang rushed over and looked around.

“Amitabha. Dear patrons, sorry for the long wait.”

The middle-aged monk brought an old monk over from afar.

It was none other than the abbot of the temple, Hui Bing.

Monk Hui Bing, who was already sixty-five years old, did not look old at all.

He had a big belly and an oily face.

“Yuantong, go and do your work. Don’t delay sending the Buddhist fate to the benefactors.”

“Yes, Abbot.”

Then, the middle-aged monk opened the car door of the Cullinan and drove off.

“This poor monk heard from Yuantong that the two of you are here to apply for a job in the temple.”

“One is here to apply to be an infrastructure engineer, and the other…”

Monk Hui Bing looked at Pang Guang, who had a strange expression on his face. He smiled faintly and said, “This poor monk happens to be lacking a chauffeur and guardian. 1 wonder if this benefactor is willing to accept the job?”

“I’m willing, but how much can you give me?”

Pang Guang’s tone instantly turned sour when he thought about the mess in the temple that Monk Hui Bing most likely caused.

Since Chen Yu had given him the persona of a person just released from prison after serving his sentence, Pang Guang started acting in the role.

He took off his leather jacket and draped it over his shoulders, revealing the tattoo on his arm.

“Amitabha. You’re a straightforward person. You’re indeed a good man.” Monk Hui Bing praised with a smile.

“Patron, so how much do you think 1 should give you every month?”

“One million is not too much, and one hundred thousand is not too little. Anyway, your temple is not short of money.”

“The temple’s business is so big, and I’m sure it earns a lot of money. There must be a lot of people who are jealous, right?” Pang Guang said it with a roguish look.

“I guess there are many people who are angry at you and want to find trouble with you.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t want to hire bodyguards.”

Monk Hui Bing’s expression changed when he heard this.

Good heavens, this muscular man in front of him had some brains.

This sentence hit the nail on the head.

As the Great Buddhist Temple became famous, an endless stream of devotees came to the door every day to burn incense.

As more people came, the composition of the people naturally varied.

There were sincere pilgrims, but there were also unruly people who did not know what was good for them.

Other than the Great Buddhist Temple, there were several other Buddhist temples nearby.

There were unruly people among the pilgrims, and there were bad people among their peers.

From time to time, they would send people to find trouble and fake malicious reports to the authorities.

Their behind-the-scenes boss was being targeted, so it was not convenient for him to teach these trash a lesson for the time being.

Monk Hui Bing could only think of his own way and find a few ruthless characters to hold the fort.

Those who had been released from prison and could fight were the most suitable candidates.

As for whether it was a spy sent by the relevant departments, Monk Hui Bing had already asked their behind-the-scenes boss in advance.

The two of them did not have a trace of spiritual energy in them. They were ordinary people..
