Protagonist:

Chen Yi

The scale of the "Jiangning Puzhan Temple Thousand Buddhas Seven Treasures Tathagata Holy Image Consecration Grand Ceremony Dharma Assembly" was growing ever larger. Even if Chen Yi didn't say anything, the abbot of Puzhan Temple would have to find a way to extend the time; not to mention economic benefits, just the political gains alone would make him not think of women at night and not think of men during the day.

Seven days!

Seven days weren't enough for him to enter the National Political Consultative Conference!

Moreover, colleagues and Buddhists from all over wouldn't disagree. If it were an ordinary meeting, everyone would be eager to end early and tour the Five Great Mountains to see the differences between little novice monks and nuns elsewhere, but this kind of Buddhist golden age truly raised participants' status, so everyone wanted their prestige to be as high as possible. So not to mention the abbot of Puzhan Temple, not a single high monk who could stand on the stage cared about money and time.

Capital! That was exactly the situation now.

They were doing their best to expand their influence in Jiangning City, thereby indirectly expanding the influence of this grand assembly. Thus more and more people came to Jiangning—generally speaking, this consecration ceremony benefited everyone: Buddhist figures accumulated capital, believers purified their souls, tourists saw something new, Jiangning citizens earned banknotes, the Jiangning Municipal Government got tax revenue, and the media had a chance to broadcast to the whole world... Only such a good thing that benefited everyone could expand and extend time as desired.

Chen Yi came out of Binjiang Road Subway Station and saw at the crossroads beneath the former commercial center, high monks in robes of various colors everywhere, unlike the usual swindlers popular during holidays; now appearing in Jiangning were licensed monks, in the old words, members within the establishment with ordination certificates, their density high enough to resemble a Buddhist holy land.

On the other side of the commercial street, a popular music group's band was also setting up a stage to perform. Jiangning was originally a major metropolis, now attracting focused attention, and all sorts of people needing fame would try every means to get involved.

"To pass the Divine Art Knight assessment, you need Buddhist recognition," Chen Yi briefly explained to the Five Hu.

Yin Sen Guan immediately replied: "We'll shave our heads today."

Yin Senlie said reluctantly: "Shave the beard too?"

"Keep the beard." Chen Yi was truly worried about not recognizing people. The Yin Sen Family's skin was white with a reddish tint, like people along the Mediterranean coast who had long sun exposure; their slightly curly hair and thick beards were relatively distinctive, and if shaved, they would all look the same.

Yin Senyong asked helpfully: "Do we four need to make any preparations this time?"

By reason, 500,000 people could at most accommodate two Divine Art Knights, so it wouldn't be as easy as when they previously gained faith. Yin Senyong naturally hoped to increase the number of family members gaining faith as much as possible.

Chen Yi opened his mobile phone while saying: "No need for any preparations. After bathing and changing clothes, rest tonight, and the ceremony will be held tomorrow or the day after. We'll propagate a bit more."

"Yes." The Five Hu were all very nervous.

Chen Yi didn't tell them that the number of people attending the ceremony had increased again, and he didn't actually know how much it had increased; those coming later were mostly unregistered believers, or called tourists, who wouldn't report to Puzhan Temple or the Buddhist Association. But these people could also bring the power of faith, although not as many as believers, in absolute numbers, one or two million tourists, if fully utilized, wouldn't be much worse than 500,000 believers or 200,000 disciples.

He had such a request, so he went to find the abbot of Puzhan Temple; the latter had just shaved a beautiful bald head, looking like a proper monk, gazing straight ahead at the good men and women outside the window.

"Mr. Chen." Hearing the sound of the door, the abbot immediately turned around, carefully wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, smiling: "It's inconvenient for me to leave the temple, yet you personally made a trip."

"If the problem can be solved, it's not in vain," Chen Yi said, stating his request.

The abbot understood his meaning and immediately said: "As many believers as possible, but we have no place left."

"Where do you think can work? Tell me, I'll find a way to get it."

"Increase believers by more than 500,000..." The abbot considered. One benefit of being a high monk was often having the chance to hold grand meetings, although none as big as this one, but he was experienced. After thinking for about three minutes, the abbot exhaled and said: "Looking at it now, the only place that can accommodate so many people is the highway. If we can close off a section of highway, a district's highway, we can add another 500,000 people."

"You find the place, I'll help you find the approval document. What reason?"

"Donating consecrated items." The abbot smiled foolishly: "You don't know, the consecrated items from the first day's consecration ceremony are priceless. I specially saved one for you, very good. Those who received them all said it had the effect of clearing the mind and brightening the eyes."

Of course it would have the effect of clearing the mind and brightening the eyes; that was something washed by Source Energy, and by rights it was truly consecrated.

Chen Yi simply stayed at Puzhan Temple that night. The traffic outside was a mess; besides the subway barely operating, Jiangning's highways were already packed with vehicles from all over.

The abbot was very excited, staying up late that night to finish the plan, and early the next morning brought vegetarian meals and documents to Chen Yi.

"Okay." Chen Yi glanced at it roughly and asked: "Has it been sent to the Municipal Government?"

"Not yet. If you think it's okay, we'll send it over."

"Send it now. I'll probably... arrive in the city around 10 o'clock. You have to deliver the things first." Chen Yi said, then buried his head in eating the vegetarian meal. Speaking of it, this thing actually had one benefit: that is, in the early morning, you could also eat vegetarian fish, vegetarian chicken, even vegetarian steak. As long as the flavor was done well enough, it was a good thing that was both healthy and delicious, said to be the development direction of the future world.

The gentlemen of the Yin Sen Family appeared at Puzhan Temple that night. They had almost run all the way. After leaving Jiangning City, traffic jams stretched for several kilometers, and the highways near Puzhan Temple were all closed off. Countless staff from all sides used various colored markers to divide the highway signs into zones. Believers wanting to attend tomorrow's charity consecration ceremony, except those who could enter the main venue and branch venues, could only watch the images from the divided highway sections.

Moreover, from the place where vehicles could pass to the foot of Puzhan Temple, there was a long way to walk. In the words of the high monks, walking was also a show of piety; the farther they walked, the more it showed their piety was fervent...

The four people of the Yin Sen Family secretly hid in the curtains at the center of the square. Different from last time, this time the curtains were closer to the chairman's platform, separated only by a huge incense burner. When they wanted to come out, they could just crawl out from under the incense burner's legs.

The ceremony had almost no clear time point; it just started with chanting scriptures.

Chen Yi and his family sat on the viewing seats. This was his first time observing the birth of a Divine Art Knight, hoping to gain a clearer understanding of Source Energy.

Besides the Chen Family, Han Jie sat beside him, clutching a small bag in her hand, inside which she secretly hid potato chips. It looked like she was preparing to pass a boring afternoon with snacks. If Chen Yi weren't by her side, this would simply be a maddening afternoon.

Han Jie was not the kind of very quiet girl. She wore a ponytail, cheerful like a little leopard on the grassland. To put it more truthfully, when such a little leopard was most bored, that was when it was lurking, preparing to catch antelopes. At ordinary times, she would surely be more willing to play games with little antelopes.

"Did the reporters leave?" Han Jie asked Chen Yi with her lips slightly moving.

"Not yet. Now it's reporters from the Second Station."

"Do you know her?" Han Jie saw it was a good-looking female reporter and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yi hehe laughed and said: "Yin Senyong's."

"Your father's bodyguard?"

"Yes, but he now believes in Buddhism, so he has given up lust."

Han Jie stared with her mouth open and asked: "Really? That handsome bodyguard?"

"Exactly, it's him."

Yin Senyong's words and deeds had the bearing of West Continent nobles. Even if he was just a bodyguard, he wouldn't be silent and unknown. In fact, everything around Chen Congyu was a topic, from the business world to the political circle. This was a quite interesting and pattern-influencing change. Gossipy people wanted to know gossip, and non-gossipy people also wanted to know whether this was a chance event or a wind direction.

In the wave of reform and opening up back then, if those who left their jobs to go into business could all return, it would obviously cause huge changes to China's current bureaucratic system... Those once free, unrestrained, open business leaders who were used to being the boss entering China's political circle? It would be a challenge for both the inherent forces of the political circle and these new commercial bureaucrats.

This was a correct step, but besides Chen Congyu, no one had truly taken it. Even Chen Congyu hadn't truly taken it yet.

The abbot of Puzhan Temple walked up to the High Priest position. This was a suggestion Chen Yi had specially proposed to highlight the effect of faith, and the high monks also liked it. The religious power of the West Continent did much better in gathering believers than Earth.

"It's about to start." Fang Man Yi sat up straight and introduced to Chen Congyu: "At their last consecration ceremony, a pillar of light descended from the sky. Many people saw it. I begged for a Jade Buddha, and recently my spine feels much more comfortable."

Chen Yi sniffed. Indeed, that Jade Buddha had been touched by a bit of Source Energy. But such an object, the Source Energy on it would eventually dissipate, and at quite a fast speed.

"Someday I'll get you a few slices of Dan Shen." Chen Yi felt his body's blood volume should have recovered, and he could completely give his old mother one or two "graces," letting her recover to a younger state.

Fang Man Yi didn't understand. She shushed him and whispered: "You can't talk nonsense before the Buddha."

Chen Congyu was also a proletarian Warrior. He said very seriously: "I listen to Qian Min. That Political Consultative Committee Member who came to Jiangning believes in this. I'll go find a consecrated item later."

"Let me go find one for you—the biggest one in the middle." Chen Yi was fairly supportive of his father taking the initiative to bribe. Especially with religious items like this, when giving them you say they're worth a fortune, and when investigating them you say they're worth nothing—either way, you can't go wrong.

Suddenly, the bell rang.
