The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 121 Civil Disputes: Resolve Them Yourself

After Zhang Tianlu returned to Fenglei Mountain, the two monks he had met on Jinyang Mountain also returned to their temple.

He told the abbot of the temple where they lived about his encounter with Zhang Tianlu on Jinyang Mountain and the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain.

After hearing this, Abbot Yuanzhen of Fasi Temple was furious.

He originally planned to open a branch of Zhengyang Temple on Jinyang Mountain, but Zhang Tianlu interfered with his plans.

This guy has offended the Buddhist community too much lately; he's arrested many abbots of major temples, and their fates are now unknown.

As a result, this guy messed with me again.

The plan to take over Jinyang Mountain was something Zhengyang Temple had been laying the groundwork for ten years. They had put a lot of effort and money into it.

It was only after much difficulty that the Taoist temple on Jinyang Mountain was identified as a dangerous building and the authorities agreed to its demolition that Jinyang Mountain was finally secured.

Then Zhang Tianlu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took over their territory. Who could stand for that?
Abbot Yuanzhen of Zhengyang Temple angrily said, "This matter will not be left to rest so easily. I will make a phone call, and someone will come to deal with him."

As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Zhang Tianlu has been making too many moves lately, and his identity and the things he does are also sensitive.

In addition, this incident was also a trigger; he didn't believe that the authorities would swallow their anger if he reported Zhang Tianru to them.

As long as the authorities can't swallow this insult, then things will be much easier for them.

They will naturally take action to deal with Zhang Tianlu when the time comes, and they can just follow behind and reap the benefits.

Abbot Yuanzhen made a phone call.

Yuanzhen: Times have changed. With so many modern weapons, you're still no match for a zombie? Just wait to die.

His call connected, and a voice came through.

Abbot Yuanzhen then explained the purpose of his phone call.

After he finished explaining his purpose and what he had encountered on Jinyang Mountain, the person on the other end of the phone paused for a while and remained silent for a long time.

It was only after a long time that a voice finally came over.

"Alright, I understand. Since Zhang Tianlu won't allow it to be demolished, then let's not demolish it. Wanhai City has so many tourist attractions; it's not like we can't do without Jinyang Mountain."

That's the end of this matter. You can choose another place.

Abbot Yuanzhen was clearly surprised by what the person on the other end of the phone would say. He paused for a moment and quickly said, "Amitabha, Director Wang, that's not how it works. We had an agreement about Jinyang Mountain back then, and the contract has already been signed."

That place was the location chosen by our Zhengyang Temple. We informed the Buddha when we acquired that land; how can we just let it go like that?

Abbot Yuanzhen was clearly unconvinced and wanted to try again.

It wasn't just that he was dissatisfied with Jin Yangshan, but he also disliked Zhang Tianlu.

He was also a member of the Buddhist community, and he couldn't swallow the anger that Zhang Tianlu had put so much pressure on them.

Listen to Abbot Yuanzhen's words.

Director Wang on the other end of the phone nodded: "I see. If you insist on fighting for that piece of land, then you can resolve it yourselves."

Longhu Mountain is not far from your Zhengyang Temple. You can take the high-speed rail to Longhu Mountain and discuss it with Master Xuanzhen.

Or you could go directly to Zhang Tianlu and negotiate with him; that would be a civil dispute. Okay, I'm busy now, I'll hang up for a bit, I have a meeting to attend in a bit.”

After Director Wang finished speaking, the phone was abruptly disconnected.

Abbot Yuanzhen's face turned ashen. Clearly, this was not the answer he wanted.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to bring out the official forces and fight Zhang Tianlu, but I didn't expect that the other party wouldn't fall for it at all.

After hearing that Zhang Tianlu had taken over the territory, they actually advised them to move to another place.

When they saw that Abbot Yuanzhen insisted on taking Jinyang Mountain, the other party even told them to resolve it themselves, saying that it was a civil dispute and none of their business.

This really annoyed Abbot Yuanzhen.

Why are you afraid of a zombie when you have so many firearms? Go and take him down!

Moreover, the agreement was made that Jinyang Mountain would belong to Zhengyang Temple, and we were the lessee. How could they just abandon us like that?
He hadn't expected that the matter would be directly classified as a civil dispute.

This time, they're just washing their hands of the matter and turning a blind eye.

Abbot Yuanzhen was furious.

How could he not try? He spent countless sums of money and cultivated numerous connections to secure Jinyang Mountain, only to find that the other party was now completely ignoring him.

The suggestion was to ask them to move to another location, and if they refused, to find a solution themselves.

Although Abbot Yuanzhen was not convinced by Zhang Tianlu, he was also aware of the situation.

The abbots of Daweilong Temple, Leiyin Temple, and Fazhong Temple were all no match for Zhang Tianlu.

Even if he, the abbot of Zhengyang Temple, had three heads and six arms, he couldn't defeat Zhang Tianlu.

How can they solve this on their own? If the authorities don't address it, their efforts will be like throwing eggs against a rock.

The two monks who had returned with the news, standing beside Abbot Yuanzhen, asked, "Abbot, what should we do now?"

Yuanzhen said, "What else can we do? The authorities aren't going to do anything about this, so we can't take a hard line. We can only try a softer approach and put some pressure on them online."

He knew in his heart that with Zhengyang Temple's limited strength, if they went to Longhu Mountain, the latter would simply ignore them.

Going to Fenglei Mountain to find Zhang Tianlu is like throwing an egg against a rock; it's suicide.

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is difficult, and it's even more impossible now.

All I can do is vent my frustration online and hope that Longhu Mountain will go find Zhang Tianlu.

Director Wang, who had just spoken to Abbot Yuanzhen on the phone, couldn't help but shake his head after hanging up.

"This Yuanzhen, has he lost his mind? Doesn't he know who Zhang Tianlu is? All of you Buddhists combined can't beat him. His mountain has been taken over, and you want the authorities to help you? Dream on."

Having been in officialdom for many years, how could Director Wang not know these subtleties?
Want to use someone else to do your dirty work?
Then you also need to see if the knife is sharp enough and if you can control it.
And what kind of person was the one they killed?

Want the authorities to handle things for you?
Offending Zhang Tianlu for the sake of Zhengyang Temple?
It's absolutely not worth it!
It's like trying to make fireflies glow by shooting through the sun—isn't that a joke?
Therefore, Director Wang completely ignored the abbot of Zhengyang Temple.

Let them solve it themselves.

It's easy to get involved in something like this, but difficult to extricate yourself from it.

If you offend Zhang Tianlu, who knows what he might do?
After all, the other party is a zombie, and the law cannot restrain him.

Moreover, they can't beat him in a fight, and pushing Zhang Tianlu to the opposite side is not a good thing.

I should try to avoid associating with people from Zhengyang Temple in the future.

Director Wang put down his phone and reported the matter to his superiors.
