The long ancient temple has a splendid palace.

In the dim hall, a skinny old monk wearing a hundred-year-old robe closed his eyes slightly, knocked on the wooden fish, turned the beads, and chanted endlessly.

Around the main hall, Buddha statues stand.

Some have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, some have angry eyes, some have three heads and six arms, or some have a thousand hands.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

Then I saw an old monk wearing soap-colored uniforms hurriedly entered the hall, approached the old monk's ear, and whispered:

"Senior brother, it's already the fourth day, and there is still no water gushing out of the double well. The Chengye River is almost dry, and Fengchao Port has become land. I'm afraid those evil dragons are causing trouble again!"

Monk Zaochang is Master Shen Zong of Shuanglong Temple, and his status is second only to Abbot Shen Quan, who is currently wearing a hundred-pin robe and chanting sutras endlessly.

As early as four days ago, Shuanglong Temple noticed that the double-double well no longer produced water.

However, Shuanglong Temple didn't care.

The two dragons responsible for drawing water from the underground river are just monsters after all. How can they be as accurate as a sundial?

It is normal to occasionally lose your temper and stop drinking water.

But it is definitely not normal to leave the burden behind for such a long time.

"Amitabha--"

Master Shenquan, the abbot of Shuanglong Temple, chanted the Buddha's name in a long voice and opened his eyes: "When was the last time the water in Chengye dried up?"

Master Shen Zong of the Supervisory Court thought for a while and said: "It must have been more than a hundred years ago. It is said that at that time, countless demons and monsters appeared on both sides of the Chengye River overnight, feasting on the incense."

Master Shenquan nodded: "It seems that another evil spirit has gained luck this time. Forget it, go to the Tianlong Department and follow the poor monk for a while!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

Master Shen Zong nodded, quickly exited the hall, and summoned the Tianlong tribe monks.

It is said that the Buddha has eight sects to protect the Dharma, and the Nagas are one of them.

Shuanglong Temple has a Tianlong Department, which cleverly uses the luck of the real dragon to cultivate dragons. The exercises it practices are very special, and are taken from the "Qinglong Shuchao" of the "Diamond Sutra".

With the blessing of the true dragon's luck, it can be said that it is as powerful as a tiger, and it is unyielding in the power of the dragon. It is a good hand in suppressing evil dragons.

This is one of the reasons why Master Shenquan chose the Tianlong Division.

Not long after, Master Shen Zong of the Supervisory Court summoned the monks of the Tianlong tribe and went to the back mountain with Abbot Shuanglong.

The further you go up the mountain, the more desolate the environment becomes.

The mottled apricot-yellow courtyard walls, peeling crumbling ridge eaves, and green towering ancient trees all testify to the specialness of the back mountain.

——In order to prevent Shuanglong from deceiving people, Shuanglong Temple had to cut off all contact. Even the blind and deaf old monk Sasu refused to enter.

As a result, the back mountain gradually deteriorated and looked like a ruin.

After a long time, the monks walked to the small courtyard at the back of the mountain. The deserted small courtyard was filled with dead branches and leaves blown from nowhere, except for the double-eye well carved from basalt, which was clean.

"Amitabha, I would like to ask the two true dragons what orders they have for raising troops and mobilizing people like this?"

Abbot Shuanglong walked to the double-eyed well, clasped his hands and pronounced a salute!

However, there was no movement in the double well.

Abbot Shuanglong was silent for a while, and then said: "Let the old karma disappear according to the circumstances, and don't create new disasters. It will not be easy for the two of you to atone for your sins for thousands of years. Don't fall short of your achievements, and the karmic obstacles are not eliminated, and new sins are added."

The response to him was still deathly silence.

"Amitabha, senior brother, this evil dragon is so ignorant of etiquette, why not treat it with the Heavenly Dragon Division?"

Upon seeing this, Master Shen Zong of the Supervisory Court deliberately asked for instructions loudly.

The water purification vase is not allowed to enter but not to exit. If the Heavenly Dragon monks form a demon subduing array, even if they can't defeat the two dragons, they will still consume their energy and harm their Taoism!

However, the response to Master Shen Zong was still dead silence.

Abbot Shuanglong gently turned the beads and waved his hands briefly, and the surrounding monks moved into action, setting up demon-conquering formations around the double-eye well.

After the demon-suppressing array came out, Master Shenquan slowly approached the double-eyed well.

As the old saying goes:

One person will not enter the temple, and two people will not look into the well.

This was the fundamental reason why he ordered the Tianlong Department to accompany him.

——It is both to avoid suspicion and to protect the law.

When he approached the mouth of the double-eye well, Abbot Shuanglong immediately looked inside. With just one glance, his old body suddenly trembled and his eyes widened.

"Senior brother——"

When the prison guard Shen Zong saw this, he subconsciously called out and stepped forward with intention, but did not dare to move.

After a while, Abbot Shuanglong slowly took a few steps back, then looked back. His face was extremely pale, as if he had witnessed the cruel scene of people exchanging children and eating them, dissecting their bodies and cooking them!

"Senior brother...what happened?"

Upon seeing this, the Supervisor Shen Zong asked anxiously.

Abbot Shuanglong didn't say anything, but stepped aside, waved his hand, and asked the prison to see for himself.

Prison Shen Zong took a slight breath, walked to the double-eye well, and looked down. At this moment, even though he had been mentally prepared, what he saw still shocked him and made his liver and gallbladder split.

——The evil dragon...is actually dead!

At the bottom of the dry well, two shriveled dragon corpses were seen circling and lying, as if they were swimming naturally and sank to the bottom of the well and died.

If you look carefully, you can still see the rotten appearance of the dragon's fins.

What is even more eye-catching is that a dragon pill is suspended in the air between the two dragon corpses, exuding a gleaming light and tempting to pick.

"Senior brother..."

After a long time, Shen Zong from the prison came back to his senses and looked at the abbot, he was so shocked that he could not speak.

"Everyone, step back. Don't let anyone else come near here."

Abbot Shuanglong waved his hand and sent the Tianlong tribe monk away.

After the small courtyard was empty, he asked in a deep voice: "Junior brother, how many dragon chows are there in the storehouse?"

Dragon's Custard is an exotic herb. It is an ordinary aquatic herb that has been transformed into ambergris. If a horse eats it, it will travel a thousand miles a day. It is a top-grade sacred herb for cultivating dragon-veined beasts and dragon colts.

This is also the biggest benefit of double wells.

"Wars broke out frequently in the Dajing border area, and the Merit Department demanded a lot of them. Now there are only a hundred or so trees left!"

Shen Zong, the prison guard, replied, looking like he was mourning for his heir.

The sudden death of Shuanglong not only means that the Tianlong Department is in danger of being expelled;

Shuanglong Temple’s largest source of income, Longcu, will cease to produce anything from now on. Shuanglong Temple may become extremely prosperous and then decline!

"Take them all out and rush to the Merit Department overnight to ask for the sea-swallowing treasure gourd! If you can't, rush to the Dade Temple immediately and borrow the sacred beast Earthworm. It will take as many years as you can."

Abbot Shuanglong said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Why?"

"The water of the Chengye River cannot be cut off. At this time, only sea-swallowing treasure gourds and earthworms can barely replace one or two."

"Senior brother! This, this..."

Shen Zong, the superintendent of the hospital, looked dumbfounded and said bluntly: "If the Chengye River dries up, what does it have to do with Shuanglong Temple?"

However, as a prisoner, he did not dare to say these words, so he could only say euphemistically: "Senior brother, the Buddha said: All conditioned dharma is the combination of causes and conditions. Dependencies arise from time to time, and conditions cease to exist. It is nothing more than this.

"

"Since the two dragons are dead and the energy of Chengye River has been exhausted, why should we exhaust the temple's heritage and go against the will of heaven?"

Abbot Shenquan's eyes trembled when he heard this: "A poor monk can't just watch the people on both sides of the Chengye River dry up and destroy their fields, and change their sons to eat?"

Hearing the words, Shen Zong of the Supervisory Academy gritted his teeth and whispered: "Buddha said: Wu Wu does not practice good, Teng Teng does not do evil, silence stops seeing and hearing, and wanders without attachment. Shuanglong Temple has never done evil, so why should it be stained with dust? Furthermore,

There was no river in Chengye, but the eminent monk Fulong used his great magic power to create thousands of acres of fertile land. Now that the two dragons died suddenly, it is just a cycle of cause and effect, so why bother struggling?"

Abbot Shuanglong suddenly looked at Shen Zong of the prison, his turbid eyes trembled slightly: "The eminent monk Fulong gave me the treasure vase and blessed us with thousands of years of blessings. How can we abandon the eminent monk and ignore his great ambitions?"

The prison guard Shen Zong's lips trembled a little, but as his thoughts flowed, he gritted his teeth and admonished: "Senior brother, do you still remember the wine woman on Shoushan Street?"

"Junior brother, what do you mean?"

"Doing good may not necessarily lead to good! There is no river in Chengye, so it is best to cut it off at this time. Otherwise, even if it is continued with great power, how many years can it last?"

Abbot Shuanglong was suddenly speechless.

"Amitabha--"
