Those panicking were not only the worshippers who had come to offer incense but also the monks within the Qixia Temple. The Temple Supervisor led a group of Martial Monks, armed with clubs, to surround the entrance of the Temple's Guest Courtyard, ensuring the safety of the dignitaries.
Meanwhile, the Abbot and several Martial Monks had surrounded the black and white tiger. They keenly observed its movements. If the tiger showed any sign of intending to harm people, they would immediately subdue and kill it!
However, after surrounding the tiger, they saw no signs of aggression or intent to harm. Instead, they found its pace had slowed. It seemed to be strolling leisurely, quite relaxed.
"Abbot, this tiger does not seem to want to harm people. Do we still need to kill it?"
Monks do not take life. Even though this was a large tiger capable of tearing a person apart, as long as it showed no intention to harm, they would not attack it.
