Chapter 108 Amnesia (4000 votes plus more)
Anyway, since they were here, they had to go see Bao Ren. But Lingyin Temple was a Buddhist place, and the senior sister, like Su Xiaoxiao, didn't dare to get close to it, so she stayed behind to accompany Su Xiaoxiao, while Ren Yuan and Chen Baxian went there.

Lingyin Temple is backed by Beigao Peak and was first built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. An Indian monk named Huili traveled here and believed that this was the place where immortals hid, so he built a temple against the mountain and named it "Lingyin".

But the real prosperity of Lingyin Temple was in this dynasty. In the third year of Tianjian, the emperor issued an edict to "abandon Taoism and return to Buddhism", and made Buddhism the state religion. Then, a large-scale construction project was launched to build temples and pagodas. Lingyin Temple also received the emperor's favor and was granted land for expansion. As a result, its scale doubled and its popularity gradually increased.

When the two arrived at the foot of Beigao Peak, it felt like they had entered a Buddhist town. Everywhere they looked, there were Buddhist temples and monks and nuns. It really lived up to the four big words on the archway at the entrance to the mountain - Southeast Buddhist Kingdom!
Fortunately, there were many believers coming to worship, so the two of them were not conspicuous.

"Among so many Buddhist temples, which one is the Lingyin Temple?" Chen Baxian meant to let Ren Yuan find out. The bruises on his face made him a little introverted.

Ren Yuan didn't even ask any questions and took him straight to the Lingyin Temple in front of Feilai Peak.

"Su Fangqing said that he worked at the Luohan Hall." After entering the temple, Chen Baxian whispered again: "Shall we ask around?"

However, Ren Yuan led him directly into the Arhat Hall.

"Oh my god, you look so familiar. When have you been here?" Chen Baxian asked.

"Is it possible in a dream?" Ren Yuan said calmly.

"Yes, that makes sense." Chen Baxian nodded.

As soon as the two entered the Arhat Hall, rows of huge bronze Arhat statues came into view, filling them with awe.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall; it was filled with solemnity and awe.

Ren Yuan and the other man couldn't help but slow down their pace, pretending to pay homage while looking for the monk's shadow.

Finally, he saw an old monk bending over and lighting incense for the Arhat. Ren Yuan hurried forward, first stepped harder to attract the other party's attention, and then whispered, "Excuse me, Taoist priest, is there a sex-crazed monk here?"

In this era, monks are also called Taoist priests, and have not yet developed their own titles.

"Amitabha, this is me." The old monk slowly turned around, looked at the two people and said, "Who are the two donors?"

"Hey, Lao Bao, it's me!" Chen Baxian was overjoyed when he saw it, and pointed at his own face. "Ah Ba from the Taihu Lake, I'm here to find you."

"Aba?" The old monk asked blankly, "Have we ever met before..."

"Of course I have. I saved your life and sent you all the way back to Qiantang." Chen Baxian hurriedly moved his face closer so that the old monk could take a closer look.

The old monk still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, benefactor, I really don't remember."

"What about Su Xiaoxiao? You still remember her, right?" Ren Yuan asked in a deep voice.

“I don’t remember either.” The old monk sighed, “All living beings are trapped in the cycle of life and death because of ignorance. After ordination, monks cut off the ties of the worldly world and cut off the roots of troubles. All past events have become a thing of the past…”

"What a joke." Chen Baxian was a little impatient, and sneered, "If you have the guts, you can even forget your own name."

"I really don't remember." The old monk shook his head and said seriously, "Three years ago, a donor told me that my original name was Bao Ren, but I don't remember it at all."

"Oh my god, I really forgot..." Chen Baxian looked at Ren Yuan, who also looked surprised.

"If there is nothing else, I will not keep you company." After the old monk said this, he turned around and continued to burn incense.

Chen Baxian followed up with a determined look, "Then you still remember the Zhuyou technique for curing zombie poison, right?" "Zhuyou?" The old monk thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We only use ghee and sesame oil to offer to the Buddha, not lard or butter."

"..."Chen Baxian was suddenly speechless.

The old monk continued to burn incense to the Arhats one by one, muttering to himself and chanting scriptures.

Ren Yuan and the other man had no choice but to leave first.

~~
After leaving Lingyin Temple, Chen Baxian sighed and asked, "Does he have any difficulties? That's why he had to lie?"

"No, he didn't lie." Ren Yuan shook his head and said, "I used my spiritual sense to sense his aura, and it was always very stable without any fluctuations."

"Wow, your family's magic is so magical." Chen Baxian said enviously every day.

"This is not our sect's magic. I figured it out myself." Ren Yuan said, "If you want to learn it, I'll teach you later."

"Okay, it's settled." Chen Baxian nodded hastily, and then said, "You said he wasn't lying, so how could he have completely forgotten who he was and what abilities he had?"

"Magic power." Ren Yuan said softly.

"Magic power, no way?" Chen Baxian said in shock: "Master Bao is a great master who has opened all six orifices. Who can directly erase his memory?"

"There is always someone stronger than the strongest..." Ren Yuan sighed. Just as he was about to make some guesses, his heart suddenly tightened and he hurriedly said, "Go back quickly. There is something wrong with Senior Sister."

He was no longer bothered by the details and immediately took out his armored horse, released the Red Leopard, and rode on with Chen Baxian, returning at lightning speed.

~~
Fortunately, Yanxialing is not far from Lingyin Temple, one is on the South Peak and the other is on the North Peak, separated only by a mountain range.

The red leopard sped across the mountains and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Just after crossing the Guilin path and before reaching the stone house cave, I heard sounds of fighting, cursing, and shouting.

Ren Yuan cast talismans on the two of them as quickly as possible. Just as he drew out the Evil-Slaying Blade, he saw a young man in a yellow robe, leading four sword-wielding maids, and a large group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals besieging A Yao and Su Xiaoxiao.

A Yao is affected by sunlight and her fighting power during the day is not as good as at night. Su Xiaoxiao has to hold an oil-paper umbrella to move around during the day. Both girls are not in the best condition and cannot break out of the siege at all.

"Be careful, don't hurt the two beauties." Fortunately, the young man was shouting and yelling, which made the sword-wielding maid and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals restrain their hands and feet, and they didn't hurt the two for a while. "This young master will hug you left and right tonight!"

Ren Yuan was furious when he heard this. He rushed into the battle group with his leopard, slashing and hacking with the evil-killing blade in his hand, and directly knocked down three lobster soldiers.

Chen Baxian also raised the Panlong stick high, jumped off the leopard's back, and smashed the crab's head with a powerful blow. Then he took advantage of the situation to sweep a large area with the stick, and opened a bloody road with Ren Yuan!
The group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were stunned and their momentum stagnated. The two took the opportunity to rush to A Yao and Su Xiaoxiao and fight side by side with them.

"Senior Sister, are you okay?" Ren Yuan asked hurriedly.

A Yao shook his head, wiped the sweat off his face and panted, "If it were night time, we would have already chopped them into stuffing."

"Hey, here come two more." The young master on the opposite side raised his hand and asked his men to retreat temporarily. He smiled at Ren Yuan and Chen Baxian and said, "Two boys, do you know who I am?"

"I don't care what you are, you piece of shit!" Ren Yuan spat, his face full of anger. "If you don't get out of here, I'll send you to hell!"
