The monks of Hanshan Temple had gotten up early, the novice monks made fires to cook and cleaned fallen leaves, the warrior monks went down the mountain to carry water, and the Zen monks began to meditate on the Sutra.
The faint smell of incense permeates Hanshan Temple, and even the passing birds are willing to stay on the trees in the courtyard for a while and listen to the Sanskrit sounds.
However, this peace and tranquility was suddenly broken.
The Maha Pagoda to the west of Hanshan Temple suddenly erupted with a burst of black light, followed by a sudden earthquake. Even the monk carrying water was shaken to the ground and looked at the Maha Pagoda in shock.
Jiangnan Province is not in the seismic zone, so it is logically impossible for an earthquake to occur. The abnormality occurring in Hanshan Temple is obviously not a force of nature, so there is only one answer.
Something is wrong with Mahata!
As the new abbot and abbot of Hanshan Temple, Zen Master Benheng hurried to the Maha Pagoda.
Under the Maha Pagoda, Zen Monk Miaohua drove away the other monks and stood alone in front of the Maha Pagoda.
After Benheng arrived, he immediately asked Miaohua: "Miaohua, what happened?"
Miaohua looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy:
"The evil thoughts of Yan Shouyi, who were suppressed under the Mahata, suddenly surged in strength. The Mahata could not bear the disturbance and almost couldn't suppress him!"
Zen Master Ben Heng, who had seen a lot of things in the world, was a little confused for a moment. He murmured in surprise:
"How long has it been since..."
The Maha Pagoda is so powerful that even if the Five Ben constants are pressed underneath, there will be no chance of escape.
Yan Shouyi's evil thoughts became stronger as Yan Shouyi's body became stronger. Now that the strength of his evil thoughts has skyrocketed, it means that the strength of Yan Shouyi's body has also skyrocketed.
This kid has only been away from Hanshan Temple for a few days. What has he experienced?
Suddenly, Ben Heng seemed to have thought of something, and he shouted:
"Everyone, get off the mountain immediately!"
Going down the mountain?
Miaohua was confused. Why should everyone come down the mountain?
"Yan Shouyi's sudden increase in strength must be stimulated by external objects. If this evil thought wants to become stronger, it must absorb power from the surroundings!"
After Zen Master Benheng explained it, Miaohua understood it immediately.
Then he became a little panicked and hurriedly followed Ben Heng away from the Maha Pagoda, and called all the monks from Hanshan Temple to come down the mountain together.
As the saying goes, monks are compassionate. When monks go down the mountain, if they encounter small animals on the way, they will pick them up and take them down the mountain without any explanation.
Miaohua and Benheng were the last to leave Hanshan Temple. After confirming that no one was in the temple, they were about to go down the mountain when they suddenly felt a chill on their backs.
An evil, strange, and death-filled aura is spreading out of the Maha Tower!
As they went down the mountain, they looked back and saw that all the plants around the Maha Tower were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those small animals that had not had time to escape down the mountain began to rot the moment they were eroded by the evil force.
Turned into dry bones.
The evil thoughts suppressed under the Maha Tower are absorbing the life force around them to strengthen themselves!
Miaohua felt scared for a while.
If his master hadn't discovered the clues and rushed everyone down the mountain in time, I'm afraid that all the monks in Hanshan Temple would have been sucked out of life by that boy's evil thoughts!
Miaohua couldn't even imagine the scene of withered bones in Hanshan Temple.
Everyone fled until they reached the bottom of the mountain, only to see that the evil thoughts stopped absorbing life force.
When I looked back, I saw that Hanshan, which was originally lush and lifeless, had become bare, as if it had been burned by fire.
The monks couldn't help chanting the Buddha's name to save the lives lost in the mountain.
At the end, a monk couldn't help but ask Ben Heng: "Abbott, what... is this going on?"
Ben Heng did not want to tell these monks the truth. He sighed heavily and ordered:
"There is a monster suppressed under the Maha Pagoda. The seal may be in danger of loosening recently. Miaohua, starting from today, you will lead ten Zen monks every day to chant sutras to stabilize the seal. At the same time, ten more monks will be arranged to ensure your safety.
.”
"Yes, Master." Miaohua agreed.
But the other monks were a little scared.
The scene just now was so shocking that many monks who have been fasting their entire lives have never seen such a bloody and terrifying scene.
It would take a lot of psychological preparation for them to return to Hanshan Temple, let alone get close to the Maha Pagoda?
Naturally, other monks will do things to appease everyone, so Ben Heng doesn't need to think about this.
What he needs to consider is why Yan Shouyi's strength suddenly increased so much, and when he can go find the Demon-Conquering Pestle and come back to put away his evil thoughts.
He can't let Hanshan Temple wipe his butt all the time, right?
At this moment, a monk who was responsible for monitoring the movements of folk sects hurried up to Ben Heng and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, Ben Heng looked shocked at first, then took the other party's phone and read the messages on the phone carefully.
Seeing this, Miaohua couldn't help but ask: "Master, what happened?"
Ben Heng put down his cell phone with a complicated look on his face.
"It turns out that the legendary second volume of Lu Ban's Book is actually a Taoist canon that folk sects have always wanted to compile. The latest news is that Yan Shouyi filled in the missing content of the second volume of Lu Ban's Book in Changbai Mountain and wrote the "Folk Religion Taoist Canon"
This stunning masterpiece will be shown directly to all descendants of folk sects without reservation!"
"this!……"
Miaohua didn't know what to say for a moment. The shock in his heart was ten times stronger than Ben Heng's.
If this is true, if the "Mind Religion Dao Code" is really useful, Yan Shouyi will probably become the most important figure in the history of folk sects. To say that he will be famous forever is to underestimate him!
If we look at it more broadly, thousands of years later, Yan Shouyi will be the founder of folk religion!
"The Folklore Research Association has also changed its name to Minjiao," Ben Heng said with a smile, "Yan Shouyi is determined to bring all the descendants of folk sects under his command and to unite everyone."
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing for our famous sect?" asked the monk responsible for monitoring the folk sect.
Ben Heng replied: "If it were anyone else, it might be a good thing or a bad thing, but if it was Yan Shouyi, it would definitely be a good thing."
"Amitabha!"
Miaohua clasped his hands together and said to himself: "It seems that the dispute between the two factions will soon be over."
"Well, that's it," Ben Heng nodded, and then looked at the bare and lifeless Hanshan Temple, "Yan Shouyi should have had an adventure in Changbai Mountain. If I fight him again now, maybe I will no longer be his opponent. Now.
I just hope that this kid can find the Demon-Conquering Pestle as soon as possible and extinguish the evil thoughts suppressed under the Maha Tower."
Such powerful and terrifying evil thoughts remained in Hanshan Temple, making Ben Heng feel uncomfortable all over, as if he was holding a bomb that could explode at any time every night when he went to bed.
