All eyes fell upon Jiang Liu, whether they were believers who had come to Guanyin Zen Temple or the monks of the temple itself, all had their eyes wide open.
With behavior like his, he really did not seem to be a monk, so the question was whether his head would bear the Scars of Precepts or not?
Silence!
As Jiang Liu removed the Vidyaraja Crown, the entire Guanyin Zen Temple fell into a death-like silence, and everyone, both monks and believers, stared with wide eyes as if they had seen a ghost, mouths agape wide enough to fit an entire fist, as gasps echoed intermittently.
With a thump, Elder Jinchi's staff dropped to the ground. His eyes, slightly squinted and somewhat cloudy, were now wide open, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Looking at Jiang Liu's implausibly youthful face, and seeing the full twelve Scars of Precepts on his head, everyone was dumbfounded, feeling as if their minds had gone completely blank.
