Chapter 144: Heresy manifests in the Great Buddha Temple
Chang Jin was quick and rushed out five or six miles in a moment. After walking around the mountains, he saw a tall tower spire in the woods not far away.
That place should be the Great Buddha Temple in the entrance of several hunters.
Chang Jin was originally a little strange about this temple built in the deep mountains, but he walked more than half a mile to the spire of the tower and suddenly realized that the Great Buddha Temple was built along the mountain. From here, it was only a few miles south to the mountain road and turned onto the official road. Chang Jin had walked around the mountain before, which was considered a lot of unjust detours.
But looking at the towering pagoda, you can see the momentum of the Great Buddha Temple. However, now that Taoism has shown its sage, the Buddhist family has completely declined, the monks are forced to return to secular life, and the temple is unattended, so they are completely destroyed.
Chang Jin walked along the way, waving the long sword in his hand from time to time. This mountain road should have been abandoned for a long time. The artemisia on the ground is as deep as the knees, and there are many shrubs in the middle, which is really difficult to walk.
He took a cup of tea to walk to the front of the temple. Most of the temple gate had already collapsed, and the bricks and tiles were broken. Several wooden door posts were tilted, and even the plaques could not be seen above.
When he activated his spiritual consciousness, he saw a gray and black aura covering the temple, and even the vast forest outside also covered it. The demonic aura, the evil spirit, the resentment... Chang Jin sensed it carefully and revealed his doubts for a moment. Although the black fog was wide in scope, it was not strong, and it was not as strong as the true body of the next generation.
Since you are here, go in and take a look. Chang Jin suppressed his confusion and stepped into it with his sword.
The front yard is also full of weeds, and there are several murals of the house on the walls, but the color on it has long fallen off. You can vaguely see that the word "Pudu" is on it.
The hall was empty, and the doors and windows were gone for a long time. It seemed that they had been taken home by nearby mountain people. Chang Jin glanced at it and saw a clay statue of the ancestor of the Shi family sitting high in the hall. Unfortunately, no one had prepared it for a long time. The gold paint on it was gone, and even a gap broke out in the middle of the body, with spots of moss growing on it.
Seeing that there was nothing to see inside, Chang Jin turned around and walked through the corner gate and entered the back courtyard.
The place was also silent. What surprised Chang Jin was that there was a stone Buddha two or three feet tall in the middle. Although the Buddha's head was cut off by something, he could still vaguely see the solemnity of the past. The name of the Great Buddha Temple was probably from this.
Looking around, there should be houses where monks live on the east and west sides, and the doors and windows were also taken away, facing Chang Jin in an empty and dark manner, like a man-eating monster.
There is a piece of bamboo planted in the northeast corner of the hall, and a pool is farther away, which should have been used by Shijia’s fire prevention.
Everything was as usual, and there was nothing strange in the courtyard.
Just as Chang Jin was about to move to the temple, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart and walked quickly to the front yard.
A big man beard appeared at the entrance of the temple and looked at Chang Jin with a wary face. After a moment, he relaxed again and asked coldly: "Who are you, what's wrong with you here?"
Yan Chixia and Chang Jin did not expect to part in a hurry a few days ago and meet here again.
However, the other party's attitude made him a little unhappy.
Chang Jin directly gave two words to "seek immortality".
"Hmph, you scholars don't study hard and serve the court, but they all dream of ascension in the daytime." Hearing this, Yan Chixia's face became even colder: "Leave here quickly, otherwise she wouldn't know how to die.
Chang Jin finally understood that Yan Chixia was also a cold-faced person. It seemed that he knew that there was something strange here.
"Die... Is the Taoist priest referring to a monster in the temple?" Chang Jin responded with a smile. After saying that, the long sword in his hand pulled out, and a cold and terrifying aura spread throughout the courtyard.
"You..." Yan Chixia was shocked and hurriedly retreated: "Who are you? What are you doing in Lanruo Temple?" As he spoke, he tried his best and the green light in the sword box had already been sacrificed.
"Lanruo Temple? You said this is Lanruo Temple... isn't it the Big Buddha Temple?" His face changed, and he showed an incredible expression.
The memories in my mind surged up: Yan Chixia, Lanruo Temple tree demon, Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian
"The Great Buddha Temple is Lanruo Temple. What are you doing here?" Yan Chixia saw that he did not attack, so she patiently asked for the third time.
"Demon Elimination" Chang Jin told the truth this time.
"Oh, I don't know which Taoist sect my friend comes from?" Yan Chixia did not relax and continued to interrogate.
"No school, no sect, casual cultivator" Chang Jin understood the other party's mood. After all, a strange monk suddenly popped up beside him, and anyone thought it was a bit strange.
"Brother Dao's name is Yan Chixia, right?"
"Where did you know my name..." Yan Chixia was even more shocked.
"Xiaosheng's surname is Chang, his name is Jin, and his name is Yunsheng. He is from Tongqu County, Wanshan Prefecture. He was on a boat with his friend a few days ago. He once met his brother in the Dushui River and showed his power and killed the Dragon King of Pinghu with his sword.
Yunsheng admired this kind of passion and wanted to make friends. Unfortunately, Brother Dao left in a hurry, and Yunsheng was very regretful and never thought he would see him here."
The other party's expression was calm when he spoke, Yan Chixia could naturally feel it. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and said, "So that's it. I left that day, but I missed fellow Taoist. I wonder where my friend learned that there was a monster in Lanruo Temple that was causing trouble?"
"My friend and I heard that the great immortal of the Venerable came to this place and planned to visit the temple. Unexpectedly, when we entered the temple, we felt that the great immortal of the Venerable was doubtful... Later, we heard that people often went to the mountains to find the immortal fate missing, so we became interested."
Chang Jin's words did not have any false statements. The main reason for this was that Yan Chixia had to date.
