Passing on the Light of Buddha's Wisdom: Enchanting Wu Song and Developing an Emergency Headband! (Continued)

Ji Gong's gaze shifted, landing on Guan Gong beside him, who had his eyes closed in quiet repose.

"Dharma Protector Garam."

With a genial smile, Ji Gong sidled over, rubbing his hands together. "I saw it just now—that one slash severed karma and cleaved the evil god straight out of its shell. Satisfying. Truly satisfying!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard without speaking, merely waiting for him to continue.

Ji Gong did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Why not have Dharma Protector Guan also take up residence in our Guoqing Temple? Yuequan Temple and Guoqing Temple share the same Tiantai School lineage. If Dharma Protector Guan comes here, it won't count as slipping in through the back door—by the Dharma, it makes perfect sense."

In his previous life, Guan Gong had been a god who answered all prayers, revered alike by Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism.

The more sacred grounds that enshrined him, the more fitting it was for his divine rank as a god who answered all prayers.

Seeing that Lin Chen supported the idea as well, Guan Yu gave a slight nod. "I have no objection."

Ji Gong immediately beamed. "Good! Good, good, good! With these two formidable men here, our Guoqing Temple can sweep away its air of decline! From now on, ordinary evil spirits will probably not even dare step one foot through the mountain gate~"

This Living Buddha had always been impatient by nature. Once he had made up his mind, he sprang into action at once.

"Then let's quickly erect new Buddha statues and let the divine natures of these two protectors take residence within them! Today, the Buddhist aura is at its peak. We must strike while the iron is hot..."

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, stopping him.

"It seems you've forgotten someone."
