Jieyin made a clean getaway with his bucket.
After all, as a mouse caught between the bellows, he was bullied from both sides... Who could stand that?
He couldn't!
If he could, he would have raised his wok-sized fists and, with his sixteen-foot Golden Body, beaten his visitor until his face blossomed.
Unfortunately.
These days, anyone bold enough to come to his door and threaten him was someone he couldn't beat.
One wielded a sword and could slice him into 3,600 pieces.
Another wielded an axe and could immediately let him experience Create Heaven and Earth.
In the end, since Jieyin Ancient Buddha could do nothing about the others, he had no choice but to clean up after himself... He entered Nirvana!
From then on, you people could love whoever you wanted... As far as this era was concerned, just consider me dead!
Jieyin left very decisively.
That left Zhunti alone, utterly bewildered in the wind.
Fortunately, when Jieyin entered Nirvana, he still had some conscience and did not dump the entire mess on him.
He had written several emergency plans, more or less, to deal with various situations and instruct Zhunti on how to handle the Buddhist Sect's internal and external affairs.
Zhunti picked up the plans with a desolate air and read a few pages. His exasperated mood finally eased, and he learned how to deal with visitors who would take advantage of the crisis in the future.
—Pass the buck.
—Delay.
—Give up and let things rot.
All matters would be handled by Jieyin, the Buddhist Sect's legal representative. I, Zhunti, am merely an ascetic monk who doesn't handle affairs... Whatever you want to discuss, go find Jieyin. He has the official seal!
My Buddhist Sect recognizes only the official seal. Without it, nothing can be done!
