Double Dragon’s eyes were lost.
His inner self was filled with regretful struggle.
“After this last mission, I’ll wash my hands of this business and migrate abroad, never engaging in such guilt-ridden deeds again!”
Double Dragon’s face was already streaming with tears.
He put both hands together, constantly chanting Amitabha in his heart, as if doing so could cleanse his inner guilt.
Not far away.
A middle-aged man with a somber face was also lost in his gaze, his tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera broken into pieces on the ground.
Time slowly passed.
Unbeknownst.
The recital of Taishang Ganying Pian had ended.
The incense guests and laymen in the square still stood still, their enamored expressions revealing they were still savoring the echoes of the scriptures.
Even so.
They didn’t even notice when Taoist priest Xuanqing and the child on stage left.
About thirty minutes later.
“My phone… my phone…”
A scream broke the tranquility of the small square.
People seemed to awaken from a dream when they picked up their phones from the ground and saw the shattered screens, they wanted to cry but no tears came.
“Wuu- It’s over, all my work for the past few months is gone.”
Those cameramen from the television station in the provincial city, clutching their broken cameras on the ground, began to wail.
The compassionate feelings in their hearts were gone when the camera lens shattered, leaving only sorrow.
Of course.
There are all kinds of people in the crowd, naturally including some who are present just for the ‘show’, even the Taishang Ganying Pian couldn’t change their nature of seeking amusement.
These fun-loving individuals took out their phones, some even prepared selfie sticks in advance, recording the tearful expressions and posting them online.
At the corner of the square.
Bald monk Double Dragon and the middle-aged man beside him stared at each other in front of the now empty high platform.
This…
“Everyone left, why didn’t you stop that chanting Taoist?” The middle-aged man couldn’t help but complain.
Pfft~
Double Dragon scoffed disdainfully, and immediately retorted: “Why didn’t you remind me yourself, you’re so awesome?”
With that said.
Both of their faces revealed a look of frustration.
This matter was utterly odd, how could they become enraptured just by listening to a sermon? Could it be that this Taoist temple has used some kind of mystical drug?
After some thought.
The middle-aged man said to the monk beside him: “Double Dragon, whether there are people or not, now that the audience hasn’t dispersed, go up on the high platform and challenge Taoist Xuanqing.”
As soon as he said this.
“No, we came here for an exchange of views, not to make trouble,” Double Dragon rebutted, glancing to the side.
Of course, in his mind, Double Dragon had already decided to retire after this job, surely wanting to scrape off some more benefits from his employer.
That’s right.
He wanted more money!
The middle-aged man glared at the damn monk, grinded his teeth and muttered a sentence from the gap of his teeth: “Add another 500,000!”
As soon as he said this.
A satisfied look appeared on Double Dragon’s face. After all, this was his last job, he didn’t care about his reputation anymore.
“Transfer the money now, and I’ll go up there as soon as I get it!”
“Okay!”
The middle-aged man has calmed down and readily transferred the money.
“Haha, big spender, boss, wait and see my… no… my performance!”
Double Dragon’s strong figure trembled slightly, releasing a hearty laughter.
The deafening voice startled the people around him, causing them to give way, thinking they had encountered a lunatic.
He dreamed of a reward in the range of millions.
Taking huge strides, the Double Dragon headed towards the high platform.
At this moment.
On the high platform.
The host was about to announce a relaxation of alert, to orderly queue up to go up the mountain and enter the Taoist temple.
Suddenly.
A well-built, bald man, nearly two meters tall, wearing a workout suit, bounded over in a few hops and stood by his side.
Before he could react, the microphone in his hand was snatched away.
“Hey, what are you…”
Double Dragon fiercely glared at the host, effectively silencing him.
Afterward.
While the audience below the stage was still dazed, and the security guards responsible for maintaining order hadn’t reacted either.
Double Dragon aimed the microphone and bellowed, “Daoist Priest Xuanqing, you’ve achieved fame by hyping martial arts. Do you dare to fight me?”
Upon hearing these words.
Boom-
The crowd finally woke up, realizing that this bald-headed man had created a scene on stage.
The security guards, while seeming to come to their senses, looked at the unarmed buffoon, then at the electric batons in their hands, and rushed up without hesitation.
Seeing the crowd of security guards rushing towards him.
There was not a shred of fear in Double Dragon’s eyes.
Not that he was particularly confident in his fighting abilities, but in this society ruled by law, the worst they could do was beat him up. They certainly couldn’t kill him, right?
“Daoist Xuanqing, aren’t you like a frightened turtle hiding in its shell? Are you afraid of me, Double Dragon?” He continued shouting.
Upon revealing his identity, people finally realized.
This guy was a famous internet personality, known as Double dragon, renowned for defeating a mighty man with one punch in a viral video.
“Holy cow, I just realized this guy is Double Dragon?”
“Big news, I didn’t expect Double Dragon to make trouble at Daoist Priest’s inheritance ceremony.”
“Double Dragon is done for, the Daoist Priest is a martial arts expert.”
“I don’t think so. Taoists are adept at lightness skills and self-cultivation, but their combat power may not be strong. As far as I know, there isn’t a video of the Daoist Priest fighting online.”
As the square was buzzing with discussion.
At this moment, inside the Taoist temple.
Xuanqing and Elder Jingde were seated around a chessboard, playing a game of chess while chatting about matters of the Taoist order.
The General Manager of the Commerce Department of Liucheng County was carefully listening on the side, occasionally offering a few words with a smile.
Huai Qingyun and Ru Xiao, as the younger generation, stood waiting on both sides.
The commotion outside naturally reached the ears of everyone present.
The General Manager of the Commerce Department’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said to Xuanqing, “Daoist Priest Xuanqing, do you want me to deal with him and charge him with disturbing the peace?”
Elder Jingde also spoke up, “The head of your county’s public security is a member of the Changling City Health Association. If you need, you can give him a call.” In their words, both men clearly didn’t take the Double Dragon outside seriously.
“There’s no need for such trouble!”
Xuanqing seemed to be indifferent. He waved at Huai Qingyun standing behind him, saying, “Huai Qingyun, you go take care of it!”
“Yes, sir!”
Huai Qingyun’s heart moved, and he quickly replied. He knew that as long as he went out to deal with the situation, he would be handsomely rewarded with his share of incense once it was done. That would be absolutely fantastic.
Watching the four or five-year-old child, Huai Qingyun, going out.
Elder Jingde and the General Manager of the Commerce Department were dumbfounded, unable to respond for a moment, standing still in shock..
