The monks of Daqian Temple really came to the sea for the water.
The host and Monk Shui were chatting happily at the moment, but they ignored Xu Mo and Daxia Lu.
Naturally, Xu Mo would not rush to talk to the other party.
Just behind, I started chatting with Mr. Lu.
Daxia Lu said: "Mr. Xu, Master Xu, please don't call me a hero. I am not a hero. My martial arts skills are mediocre, and I am just a nobody in the world."
Xu Mo waved his hand: "The name of a hero does not depend on the level of martial arts. You value love and justice, and you are willing to carry your companion to escape despite being seriously injured and dying. In this regard, you are worthy of the title of hero."
Master Lu felt extremely ashamed after saying this.
Xu Mo asked him again what kind of martial arts he practiced, and Daxia Lu said: "Black Tiger Claw, and the family-herited Evil Ghost Sangmen Sword."
"I observe that you already have inner breath and have practiced inner strength?"
"Mr. Xu, this internal skill is also passed down from our family. It is practiced with the Evil Ghost Sangmen Sword. It is called 'Collecting Yin and Transforming Water'. It is not a superior internal skill. I have practiced hard for twenty years and it is only a small achievement."
Xu Mo nodded.
The other party's martial arts talent is average, his meridians are blocked, and the upper limit of his internal strength is not high, so now he has reached his ceiling.
With nothing to do, Xu Mo stretched out his hand to touch the other person.
In an instant, a strong flow of true energy flows in, like an icebreaker, opening up the meridians and punching acupuncture points to transform energy.
After a complete set, this strong true energy has not dissipated, and merged into the sea of Qi on its own, becoming a part of its inner strength.
Lu Daxia was in severe pain just now. After all, the feeling of stretching the pulse and opening the acupuncture points was similar to tearing open the flesh and blood, but soon, he felt the pleasure that followed.
This feeling can only be experienced by warriors.
That is a special kind of 'unobstructedness'.
Moreover, the zhenqi left by Xu Mo was equivalent to imparting kung fu to him. Even though it was just a small amount of zhenqi, its richness was worth ten years of hard training.
It is equivalent to directly giving him ten years of skill.
At that moment, Master Lu reacted and knelt down to thank him.
"You continue to practice, and you will become a hero in a few years." Xu Mo's move was just a casual job, not worth mentioning, but for this hero Lu, it may be a matter of life.
After all, in a place like this, having better skills could mean the difference between life and death.
This can be regarded as saving a life.
This does not mean that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Shui Quhai stood up and walked over. Behind him, the host clasped his hands and did not follow.
After Shui Quhai and Xu Mo left the main hall together, he said: "The host said that we can temporarily stay in the temple until the evil things outside leave, and then we can leave on our own."
"That's all you said?" Xu Mo was surprised. The other party was obviously not well-intentioned, so he would let go of the water so easily?
"We also discussed some Buddhist principles." Shui Quhai smiled.
Xu Mo understood.
Monk Shui knows how to take advantage of the situation, and just now he is inseparable from his master who has achieved enlightenment.
In this way, no matter how vicious the monks in the Great Resentment Temple are and want to do bad things, they still have to consider the consequences. If a Buddha is really provoked, it will be difficult.
So, as long as you don't break up, there's no problem.
"I asked the host that the great evils are a few special evil spirits and ghosts, which can command groups of ghosts. Wherever they go, they will be like locusts crossing the border, and no one can stop them."
"Then why is this Great Resentment Temple okay?"
"The abbot said that they have great complaints against the temple, but they are also protected by the Buddha."
Boy, that's a draw.
If you say you have a backing, he will say that he has a backing.
But it's okay, it's good to keep a balance, let's talk about it if there really is a fight.
"Do you know what's going on inside the Qianyuan Mountain?" Xu Mo asked again.
Shui Quhai shook his head: "The abbot of the temple didn't know the details. He said that one day the whole temple was involved in the Mountain of Resentment and has been drifting to this day. It is impossible to leave. Moreover, he received a message from the Buddha in the temple and they were not allowed to leave the Mountain of Resentment.
They can only move around the temple. As for how long they have been there, they don't know. There is no sunrise or sunset here, only a blood moon hanging in the sky, but it feels like a long, long time has passed."
If all of this is true, it's definitely not good news.
Three houses have been packed out, and we will stay here temporarily.
After careful observation, I found that some of the monks in the Great Resentment Temple looked normal, while others looked no different from the evil spirits outside.
Xu Mo stopped the monk who was delivering the fast food and questioned him. The monk didn't say anything at first, but after a few bluffs, he did.
"Some people in this temple are no longer human." The monk's face was pale, probably because he had not seen the sun for a long time, and he really looked like a dead person.
"A long time ago, Dayuan Temple was also called Dayuan Temple, and it was also an ancient temple and holy place. However, something unexpected happened one night and it was involved in the Mountain of Resentment and trapped here. After that, too many changes happened."
The monk looked horrified, as if he was stuck in some kind of memory.
"It was fine at first, but later I found that some of the brothers were not in good condition. They were taciturn and ignored them. They just did their own thing. Sweeping the floor, chanting sutras, eating, and resting. The host said, these brothers are
Escaping into the Buddha realm is practicing cultivation, but I feel that they are no longer them..."
Before the monk finished speaking, someone called him outside.
It was another monk in charge.
The monk was startled and glanced at Xu Mo, which means I have to leave.
Xu Mo nodded and asked: "By the way, what is the name of this master?"
"If you don't deserve the name of Master, just call me Yuantong."
Monk Yuantong went out.
Xu Mo watched the other party and the monk in charge leave, and was scolded by the other party.
Xu Mo naturally had his own way of thinking about why he chose this monk to interrogate. For interrogation, he naturally had to choose someone who looked normal.
Similarly, the monks who can be arranged to do some errands in the Great Resentment Temple are also relatively normal monks.
For example, the monk in the courtyard over there, with his head lowered and silent, scanning the area for several hours, was obviously not normal.
Xu Mo looked carefully and saw that there was no change in the expression of the monk sweeping the floor.
It's like wearing a mask of death.
Xu Mo took one look at the vegetarian meal that was delivered and didn't want to eat it at all.
It's just a bowl of tofu with two vegetables on top.
The appearance was very poor, the tofu was badly chopped, and the two vegetables were wilted. They smelled sour and stinky. Not to mention Xu Mo, I wouldn't even want to eat it if I went to the sea.
The latter took out two cakes from the bamboo basket behind him, and they were both dry.
Two cakes, three people, the monk thought for a while, handed one to Xu Mo, and then handed one to Daxia Lu.
He doesn't eat it himself.
Xu Mo returned the cake to the other party and said that he was practicing martial arts and could go without eating for several days without any problem.
"You two stay here while I go out for a walk!"
When Xu Mo saw no one outside, he explained something and stepped out.
He was going to find that Monk Yuantong and continue to inquire. There were not many normal people like Monk Yuantong in the Great Resentment Temple.
If you want to understand the situation, you have to hurry up.
Because Xu Mo also tried to understand with other monks, just like what Monk Yuantong said, these monks really didn't have any reaction.
It's like I can't hear or see.
Like a dead puppet.
There are many similar monks in Daqian Temple, and nine out of ten of them are like this.
That makes Yuantong monk even more rare.
How to find it? Xu Mo has his own way. He left some things with Monk Yuantong and is looking for them all the way. If he encounters a strange monk, he will find a way to avoid it.
Arrived at the backyard.
This is where the monks live. Xu Mo sneaked in and observed, and found that in the house, the shadows of many monks were swinging on the window paper, and the sound of densely chanting sutras could be heard from inside.
chaos.
The sound is noisy and varied.
Because maybe what you are reciting is not a Buddhist sutra at all.
In this case, Daluo Jinxian came and couldn't hear what they were reciting.
Xu Mo was a little worried. He was in the house and there was no way to go in and look for him.
Just as he was thinking of something, a man came out of the room over there, it was Monk Yuantong.
The latter put his hands together and chanted sutras while walking, presumably to release water.
Chance.
In the toilet, Monk Yuantong didn't know what he thought of and sighed.
As soon as I walked out, I was startled by Xu Mo's words, "Master Yuantong."
"Is it you? You, how did you find this place?" Monk Yuantong was greatly surprised.
Xu Mo said: "I came here for convenience, and we happened to meet him."
This was nonsense, but Yuantong didn't say anything about it.
Monk Yuantong looked around, then pulled Xu Mo to the side of a tree and whispered: "Donor, if the evil thing is dispersed, remember to leave the temple immediately."
This is a reminder.
Xu Mo naturally wanted to ask why.
"Hey, strange things have happened one after another in the temple. There have been too many changes. Even I have forgotten many things. In the past, fellow disciples talked to each other and preached about Buddhism. But I don't know when it started. Even if we meet, we are like strangers.
, it’s not that you don’t know him, it’s that it doesn’t know you.”
"Perhaps we have been trapped here for a long time and everyone is a little depressed."
"No, it's just a weird attack on the body, eating brains and semen. It is true that the Great Resentment Temple is protected by the Buddha, and ordinary weirdos cannot enter it. However, there are many evils in the Resentment Mountain. This one can't get in, and that one has been there for a long time.
You are in it, but you can’t see it or touch it.”
Monk Yuantong was very pessimistic at this moment: "So, the temple is not safe. Some fellow disciples have behaved abnormally. Some are crazy, some are talking nonsense, and some have gone out and never come back. But everyone in the temple doesn't care.
It was as if there was no such person from the beginning. I have a junior fellow student named Yuanda, who lives in the same hometown as me, and we have a very close friendship. One day he disappeared. I went to ask the monks in charge and the abbot, and they actually said that there was no way at all in the temple.
There is no disciple like Yuanda. Therefore, if you can leave, leave as soon as possible. This is not a safe place, but on the contrary, it is extremely dangerous."
Xu Mo asked: "Then if we leave, where can we go?"
"Go to Yuyan Temple. There are some Niubi Taoist priests there who seem to be quite normal."
At this time, there was a bell ringing in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Yuantong hurriedly said goodbye and left.
I guess there was something going on in the temple, so they gathered to listen to the sound of the bell.
Xu Mo actually still has something to ask, but now is not the time, so he can only look for another opportunity.
After returning home, he told Shui Quhai and Lu Daxia about the matter. Both of them looked gloomy and were thinking about the same thing. It was not advisable to stay in a place of right and wrong for a long time.
"As soon as the great evil outside has dispersed, leave immediately."
“So best.”
The bells outside were ringing melodiously, but it sounded like the sun was setting in the west and the dead leaves were returning to their roots, giving off a dull and ominous sound.
Next, Xu Mo and Shui Quhai discussed Buddhism. The latter said that he understood a palm technique from the "Diamond Sutra" and "Prajna Heart Sutra" and wanted to discuss and confirm it with Xu Mo.
Xu Mo naturally couldn't ask for this kind of thing.
He had already memorized these two Buddhist scriptures by heart and studied them extremely thoroughly, but he had never learned any techniques from them.
The palm technique can be understood when the water is gone and the sea is gone. This must be listened to.
"I also practice martial arts. This palm technique is originally a martial arts, but because it conforms to Buddhist principles, it can also be regarded as a magic. How to define it depends on the person dealing with it. If it is an ordinary person, it is a martial arts. If it is an evil thing, it is a martial arts.
It's a spell."
Water goes to the sea to explain the details.
There are too many obscure parts in it, and to Xu Mo's ears, it's like hearing a book from heaven.
Fortunately, there is water to go to the sea to explain it carefully.
"This palm technique is called "Vajra Prajna Palm", or you can also call it "Demon-Conquering Mahamudra"."
"Then, can you demonstrate it?"
"Of course you can."
Shui Quhai didn't even get up at this moment, he just pushed forward with a palm of his hand.
It looks ordinary, just an ordinary push, nothing special.
Mr. Lu next to him looked at it and wanted to laugh, saying that this was far worse than his 'Black Tiger Claw'.
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and struck out with a claw.
It was indeed so powerful that it grabbed a brick and crushed it to pieces.
Shui went to sea and looked at it, and also laughed: "Brick can't hit people on his own, but evil people and evil societies, my palm skills will make them stronger when they are strong..."
Master Lu didn't believe it.
Xu Mo taught him the Chongmai Kung Fu before, but now his internal kung fu has reached a state of great success, and his other martial arts skills have also improved. Now he has more self-confidence, and he is much more cheerful than before.
The three of them were talking, but they heard more and more noise outside.
Something is abnormal.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Mo went to open the door, and there was a monk standing outside the door, tilting his head with a deliberate smile on his face, and then suddenly opened his mouth and screamed.
The mouth is open to a full foot long, and the teeth in the mouth are sharp. The terrifying look can really scare people.
This is not the scariest thing.
What's really weird is that from the other person's open mouth, you can see the throat, and a terrifying face pokes out of the throat.
In this way, Xu Mo naturally did not get used to the other party.
"cut!"
No matter what's in the opponent's stomach, chop them all together.
If you cut it open, wouldn’t everyone be able to see it?
The monk was split into two pieces by Xu Mo, and there was indeed something inside.
He is a twisted and deformed person.
There is another person inside a person's body.
Did the deformed person inside get drilled in? Or did it grow out of it?
unknown.
At this moment, several similar weird monks rushed in from outside. They were extremely fast, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than a rusty sword.
But the next moment, the rusty sword was blocked by a monk.
The thing in the opponent's mouth has crawled out of half of his body, exposing his head and half of his shoulders. What blocks the rusty sword is the arm inside.
The arm is deformed, slender and extremely hard, and even the rusty sword cannot cut it off.
Obviously, this weirdness is unusual.
The rusty sword blocked his progress, and Xu Mo quickly called for Monk Shui Quhai and Master Lu to come out.
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer!"
There are more and more similar weird monks. If there are a few more weird ones that can block the rusty sword, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Rush all the way out.
Xu Mo discovered that the Great Resentment Temple was in chaos. The crazy and strange monks were running around, but they did not attack other normal monks.
The so-called normal monks are actually the kind who keep their heads down and do their work. Even if the temple is in such chaos, they are still concentrating on doing their own thing.
Didn't even raise his head.
Rushing all the way outside, when passing by the main hall, Xu Mo saw the host standing on the steps with an expressionless face. In the main hall behind him, the three huge Buddha statues were climbing out.
The Buddha statue is like a shell, and there is some kind of terrifying flesh and blood thing inside. I don't know what it looks like, but from just a small part of it, you can tell that it is not a good thing.
Anyway, this thing is definitely not a Buddha.
Thousand-Armed Buddha looks more normal than them all.
At this time, Xu Mo and the host looked at each other. The latter was slightly surprised and then made a gesture.
That means, leave quickly.
This surprised Xu Mo.
It seems that the abbot is the only monk in this temple who still retains his sanity and memory.
Rushing to the door, Xu Mo suddenly bumped into Yuantong, who was chanting sutras with his hands clasped together.
"Master Yuantong, come with me quickly!"
This Monk Yuantong is not bad. Xu Mo knows that the Great Resentment Temple has been invaded by strange things and has become extremely abnormal. If Monk Yuantong stays here, he will be killed sooner or later.
You might be parasitized by that deformed monster in your belly.
So if you can take him away, take him away.
But no matter how Xu Mo called him, Monk Yuantong didn't react at all.
At this moment, Yuantong was just like other weird monks, focusing on doing his own thing.
Xu Mo went over and patted the other person. Yuantong finally looked up, but his eyes were blank. He obviously didn't recognize Xu Mo, and he was even afraid that he had forgotten who he was.
"It has changed!"
Xu Mo sighed, said to take care, and rushed out of the temple with Shui Quhai and Daxia Lu.
The numerous evil spirits and ghosts outside had disappeared.
The three of them ran wildly until they couldn't see the Great Resentment Temple when they looked back.
