After Lin Qing walked around the underground of the temple, he found that the "snake girl"'s eldest sister Ding Ziyi and the "snake girls" had disappeared. Only a few hundred monks led by Yue Zun were left in the temple.
.
After sitting in several monks' rooms and worshiping halls underground for a day, Lin Qing had a general understanding of the situation in Zhuxin Temple.
The monks here are all recruited from outside, and some of them are even in the period of physical training when they come here.
After entering the temple, they worshiped some small bosses as their teachers according to whether they had any cultivation level, and these small bosses were all disciples or disciples of Lord Yue.
Lord Yue would regularly teach his disciples and grandsons various body-refining techniques, and then these bosses would teach them to their respective disciples.
In the entire temple, except for a few eloquent monks who know a little about Buddhism who are greeting pilgrims and tourists in the front yard, the other monks do not do anything to meditate or worship Buddha at all. They spend the whole day practicing in the back mountain in groups.
body.
For those monks who have high cultivation, good performance, and high loyalty, Master Yue will teach them the art of dual cultivation and tonic, and then regularly distribute it to the women they captured for them to practice and collect tonic.
The entire temple's backyard becomes smoky and filthy every night.
At night, Lin Qing was following and found a huge, heavily guarded natural cave in the back mountain. He initially thought it was a place where supplies were stored, but after checking, he discovered that more than 300 inmates were imprisoned here.
Covered women.
These poor women were all sallow, skinny, and dull-looking. They had been tortured to the point of losing their human appearance.
Regarding these women who were in a miserable situation, Lin Qing could only sigh with regret. He could not rescue them just by relying on his own strength for the time being. He could only wait until the top of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect decided to uproot the Huanxi Sect before rescuing them.
Just when Lin Qing was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw three monks walking hurriedly towards the depths of the cave. He suddenly thought, could there be another mystery here?
This cave should be a huge crack in the mountain. The entrance is very small. After entering, it becomes as wide as a hall, but after walking not far away, it gradually becomes narrower.
Judging from the direction, this cave leads to the middle of the mountain, and there are no forks in other directions along the way. If there was only one exit, it would really be a good place to hide things.
"I'm sorry, is this the treasure house of Zhuxin Temple? If that's the case, I won't be polite!"
Seeing that there was an advantage to be taken advantage of, Lin Qing became excited and walked through the rocks at the feet of the three monks with a look of anticipation on his face.
After walking about three or four miles, the cave has become a narrow passage that can only accommodate two people walking side by side, and one or two protruding rocks will appear from time to time. The three of them are holding an angry wind lantern in their hands.
Only in this way can we ensure that we don’t stumble and bump into heads.
After walking some distance, the three monks stopped. The cave in front of them had shrunk to a narrow gap that was less than one person tall and could only allow a single person to pass sideways.
The leading monk turned to the two people behind him and said:
"You two just stay here and don't let anyone get close to you. I'll come out in a moment."
"How can anyone come to such a secret place? Senior brother, please don't worry, we will be waiting here."
"This is not the first time for the two of us. Senior brother, please hurry in!"
The two monks behind him answered while standing on both sides of the small mountain crevice, looking like loyal defenders.
The leading monk, who was called "Big Brother", nodded with satisfaction, bent down and got in through the crack in the mountain.
The eldest brother held up the wind lantern and trudged through the cracks in the mountains for more than half a mile before finally reaching the end.
This is a cave about half an acre in size. There is no other entrance or exit except the crack in the mountain where the monk called "Elder Brother" came in.
At the top of the cave, water droplets were constantly dripping from the narrow stone gaps. The constant dripping sound made the cave without any light very humid and filled with a rotten and sour smell.
The "elder brother" covered his nose with the sleeves of his spacious monk's robe, stood on tiptoe and placed the lantern on a protruding stone high on the cave wall, and then the whole cave lit up.
Lin Qing, who was following him underground, looked around and was startled. He saw a man sitting at the end of the cave!
This man had unkempt gray hair hanging over his shoulders, a full face with beard, sunken eye sockets, and a withered body. His clothes were as torn as sacks, and his long and thin hands and feet were exposed. He looked as if he had fallen to the ground and starved to death!
The most horrifying thing is that this man's shoulders were shrunken, and the front ends of his arms and the lower ends of his legs were pierced with iron chains as thick as his thumbs and toes. Both ends of the six iron chains were pierced by more than five feet.
The long iron drill is firmly nailed to the stone wall!
It seems that this man was locked here with iron chains by the monks of Zhuxin Temple for some reason. His shoulders, arms, and legs were all pierced by iron chains. The slightest movement would cause severe and severe pain.
I don't know how he survived.
"Bald donkey, can you still breathe? If you're not dead, just speak loudly. Don't let me bother to call you!"
The monk who was called "Elder Brother" was shouting loudly. Just listening to a monk calling someone else a bald donkey made people think it was a funny thing.
The man sitting on the ground leaning against the stone wall slowly opened his eyes. Although his complexion was extremely gloomy, his eyes were still bright and energetic, showing a firm gaze:
"You have given up on this idea. Don't say that you come to ask the poor monk once a month. Even if you come to ask the poor monk every day and string ten or eight iron chains on the poor monk's body, don't even think about getting anything from the poor monk.
What you want!"
"Why are you here? We are all disciples of Buddhism. My master just wants you to talk about the Buddhist practice. We have all practiced the Buddhist practice. Aren't we also Guangdong Buddhism!"
Seeing that the chained man still looked smelly and hard, the elder brother changed his tone and persuaded him.
"Bah! You don't even look like Buddhist disciples! You are clearly a bunch of filthy people who believe in evil gods! My Buddhist techniques are used by people who worship Buddha to protect the Dharma. How can I pass them on to you bunch of evil sycophants!"
In excitement, the man straightened up a little, and the chains inside his body were pulled, and streams of pus and blood flowed out.
"Oh, you shameless monk, the more you talk, the more enthusiastic you become. The Maitreya Buddha you believe in is real, and the Happy Buddha we believe in is fake. Then why are you locked here by us? All of this
It’s been more than half a year, why haven’t you seen your Buddha come to save you?”
The senior brother was also very angry. He had his arms rolled up and his sleeves rolled up, as if he wanted to step forward to teach the chained monk a lesson. However, he was quite afraid of this person and even after shouting for a long time, he did not dare to step forward.
At this time, the locked monk said seriously:
"If the poor monk hadn't been so competitive that he defeated that bullshit 'Venerable Moon' when he was competing with him, then 'Venerable Moon' wouldn't have had any evil intentions towards my Buddhist skills, and I wouldn't have been raped later.
You used hallucinogens to free and capture him, but this is the evil result of the poor monk himself, and he deserves this fate."
"Buddha said: You will not live if you do evil! You snakes and rats have done many evil things, and you will be punished by karma in the future! Yesterday, the poor monk had a dream, and the Buddha had sent a black-armored divine general to rescue me. At that time
I will definitely send all of you villains who occupy the Buddhist monastery into the sea of Shura fire, and suffer the pain of being burned by the fire forever!"
Most of the monks in the Buddhist sect are eloquent and pay attention to the "tongue that shines like a lotus flower", and this monk is even more outstanding among them. His words made the "elder brother" break out in cold sweat, and he simply stopped trying to persuade him and raised his hand to take it.
Feng Deng was so angry that he turned around with a curse and got into the crevice of the mountain and left.
At this time, Lin Qing was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground. The man who was pierced by several chains turned out to be a monk from the Buddhist sect. This was really shocking!
Speaking of which, the Buddha Sect was the main culprit for the destruction of the Earth Spirit Sect. Thousands of years ago, the newly emerged Buddha Sect led a group of large and small sects to destroy the giant Earth Spirit Sect in the world of cultivation. Later, the natural cycle of retribution brought dissatisfaction.
The Buddhist sect that was about to occupy the entire Zhongtian Continent was also wiped out by many sects, leaving only many scattered Buddhist temples scattered throughout the Zhongtian Continent.
These Buddhist temples have become simple religious places that only teach Buddhism. There is no inheritance of systematic Buddhist practices at all. For thousands of years, there has been no serious Buddhist meditation at all!
The Buddhist Zen practitioner in front of me not only knows the long-lost Buddhist meditation techniques, but he is also a master. He was able to defeat Lord Yue who beat Lin Qing and fled. So what kind of strength is he?
"With the strength of the golden elixir stage, this monk who has been pierced by several chains definitely has the strength of the golden elixir stage!" Lin Qing had already retreated with the "elder brother". After watching the three fake monks leave, he
I thought to myself:
"Such a good opportunity cannot be missed. If we save this monk at this time, it will be equivalent to getting a favor from a master of the golden elixir stage, which will be useful in the future."
"Furthermore, how this Buddhist sect appeared is also a very strange thing. Only after we establish friendship with this monk can we slowly find out his background!"
Lin Qing hurriedly retrieved all the information about the Buddhist sect from the Spiritual Breath Ring, wanting to know as much as possible about this sect, and then plan how to rescue this meditation practice.
Buddhism, an aggressive sect!
Zen practice, a group of lunatics with firm beliefs!
The meaning of the existence of Buddhism and Zen practice is to let all mortals believe in Buddhism, let all monks become Zen practitioners, and let all sects be absorbed by Buddhism!
These were all Lin Qing's impressions of Buddhism and Zen practice after reading the information. He once had doubts about whether to rescue the religious lunatic inside, but after thinking about it, he decided that he should rescue him.
At the very least, although the enemy of an enemy may not be a friend, there must be something that can be exploited!
