There is indeed a sense of loss when there is no one around.
Ye Qing has never felt lonely in the past. When he was in the upper world, he was used to being alone. The only time he trusted others, he failed to find a good solution and was betrayed.
Therefore, Ye Qing was always wary of people and things at first.
But gradually, a few people knocked on the closed door of his heart, leaving a gap that made Ye Qing feel a little dazed for a moment.
It turns out that I am not alone?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing chuckled a few times. After sitting on the horse, he took off the gourd and drank a swig, his smile was a little rippling.
Living a new life, I unconsciously have too many worries.
In addition to the Ye family, there is also a silly apprentice Mo Yao, as well as Huang Sisi, Qin Mengxue, and Li Yuechan.
"I'm not that lonely..."
Seven days have passed since leaving Chang'an, and Ye Qing arrived at the northern border of the Li Tang Empire.
Right now, Ye Qing is about to leave the Li Tang Empire and only needs to pass through the Wei Wu Empire to reach the lost ruins, Jiuyou.
It was just that the sky was getting dark and there was plenty of time. Ye Qing did not intend to travel day and night, so he decided to find a place to rest.
However, after leaving the Li and Tang Empire, the land bordering the Wei Wu Empire was mostly desert with few human traces. Where to find a place to stay?
Ye Qing had no choice but to follow the official road.
Fortunately, just before the sky darkened completely, Ye Qing caught a glimpse of a temple on a hillside not far away. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it seemed to still have light.
To be honest, Ye Qing was a little disgusted.
As early as when he went to the upper realm, Ye Qing had some disputes with Buddhism. He even did such ridiculous things as going to the Lingshan Mountain and pointing at the temple master's nose and calling him a bald donkey. He really didn't have a good impression of Buddhism.
After all, Buddhism is beautiful on the outside, but actually hides evil inside. This matter is already known to everyone in the upper world. What Buddhism has done in these years is enough to write a book.
But now, there was really no place to stay, so Ye Qing had no choice but to ride his horse to the temple.
As soon as he got closer, Ye Qing heard bursts of faint and vague sounds of chanting sutras. It wasn't until Ye Qing came to the door of the temple that he was stopped by someone.
"This benefactor, our temple has been closed and we won't accept pilgrims. We'd better ask the benefactor to go back."
"Where are the pilgrims coming from this late at night? I'm here to stay overnight and leave tomorrow."
"Sorry donor, the temple does not accept outsiders, I hope the donor understands."
Yes, I got a rejection.
Ye Qing has not yet understood this level of prowess. He has his own place to stay here. He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly his nose twitched and he sniffed carefully.
"The smell of blood?"
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the naive monk, and said with a smile: "This eminent monk, I would like to ask you, why is there the smell of blood in this temple?"
"The donor was joking. Monks are forbidden to kill, so how could there be a smell of blood? The donor must have smelled it wrong. It's getting late. There is an inn more than a hundred miles away from here. The donor may be able to stay there. I'm really sorry."
The etiquette is beyond words, and the reason is even more reasonable. The mountain is closed and does not accept foreigners. What can you do?
But Ye Qing felt something was wrong.
Others may not understand, but Ye Qing is very knowledgeable. Over the years, the only two forces that have been connected to the lower world are the Taishang Dao Sect and the Lingshan Buddhist Sect.
It is said that the Buddha's head on the Lingshan Buddhist Sect, that is, the person who was pointed at by Ye Qing and scolded the bald donkey, seems to be the living Buddha closest to the Buddha in the eyes of people in the lower world Buddhism, so the Lingshan Buddhist Sect is also called the orthodox Buddhism.
Of course, these are not important.
The important thing is that Ye Qing accidentally learned of an insidious plan of Buddhism to use living people to refine relics. At that time, this incident caused quite a stir in the upper world. Countless forces criticized the Lingshan Buddhist Sect verbally and in writing.
The riot lasted for hundreds of years before it stopped. No one knows the truth whether it has stopped or not.
Whether it was Ye Qingkuang supporting justice or simply wanting to take revenge on Buddhism, he always felt that the bald donkey in front of him seemed to be hiding something...
"I can't smell it wrong. This smell... sounds like mutton? Oh, master, it's just a mouthful of mutton. You don't want to share it. Are you too stingy?"
Ye Qing rolled his eyes and was about to walk into the temple when he was stopped by a monk.
"Monks avoid meat and fish. There is no mutton. The donor should leave quickly."
"Have a bite before leaving."
Ye Qing said with a smile, throwing away his arms and rushing towards the temple, but the moment he opened the door, four wooden sticks hit Ye Qing at the same time!
"Donor, what do you want to do if you forcefully break into this temple?"
"Isn't Buddhism said to be compassionate and save people all over the world? Why, if I come to beg someone who stutters, I will use a stick?"
Ye Qing sneered, a touch of frost appeared in his palm, and the temperature of his whole body dropped sharply.
"The poor monk has warned the donor. If you insist on doing this, don't blame the poor monk for being ruthless and forming a formation!"
After the words fell, the four monks lined up in a battle formation and stopped in front of Ye Qing.
But the more this happened, the more Ye Qing became convinced that these hairless people were definitely hiding something!
"I have long wanted to learn from Buddhist warrior monks, and today I finally have this opportunity!"
Ye Qing's eyes were as bright as a torch, and a sharp frost blade condensed in his palm, and he couldn't help but become more energetic.
Speaking of warrior monks, we have to mention that this is a way of practicing Buddhism that is transcended from the practice system.
Abandoning the practice of spiritual power, he turned to focus on the physical body, supplemented by Buddhism, and actually found a path. Ye Qing once saw a monk who was as good as the martial saint in the upper world. His physical body was as good as gold and stone, and he punched and kicked.
It has the power to open mountains and crack rocks, which is one of the trump cards of Lingshan Buddhism!
Different from ordinary physical training, Buddhist monks do not practice spiritual arts. They not only practice spiritual arts and martial arts, but also transform them into a part of the body.
Just like the famous Treasure-Phase Arhat in the upper realm, his skin is as crystal clear as jade, and his physical body is unparalleled in the world. He has practiced the Fudo Mingwang phase in Buddhist martial arts to the extreme, so that his physical body has undergone changes.
Of course, these monks in front of me obviously don't have that ability, but looking at the muscles on their bodies that look like horned dragons, it seems that they are not easy-going people.
“It’s interesting!”
Ye Qing made a muffled sound and thrust out his sword, but it was easily cut down by the wooden stick. He struck back with a powerful and heavy blow, forcing Ye Qing back!
"attack!"
The honest-faced monk shouted loudly, and the four-person battle formation instantly pressed towards Ye Qing like a bulldozer. The four wooden sticks danced in an airtight manner, with an astonishing momentum!
If it were an ordinary innate or even a master-level expert, he might not be able to take advantage of the four of them!
Unfortunately, they encountered Ye Qing, a loser.
