Chapter 96: Changes (First Order Request)

"Look, what's happening over there in the back mountain?" On the martial arts field, a monk suddenly pointed in the direction of the back mountain.

At this time, the strange changes in the sky had obviously attracted the attention of many people. Most of them stopped what they were doing and looked towards the back mountain.

But then I saw a layer of faint colorful light emerging in the sky, which was as beautiful as a dream.

"What is that?" Mingde asked, pointing to the sky.

Mingliang shook his head and said, "How would I know? But it's pretty nice."

Only Mingjing was dazed as he looked at the light in the direction of the back mountain. However, now almost everyone was looking in the direction of the back mountain, so no one cared.

However, apart from the younger disciples who would stop to watch such a strange sight, the faces of the more experienced monks changed drastically, especially the heads of each academy, all of them looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

After another cup of tea, the seven-colored light gradually dimmed, and instead a dark red light obscured by the seven-colored rainbow light kept flowing.

Different from the seven-colored light before, this dark red light makes people feel uneasy at the first sight.

"Hey, senior brother, what's going on?" Li Ming walked all the way to the martial arts field. On the way here, he naturally saw the strange scene in the back mountain. With an idea in mind, he grabbed a monk who was walking away quickly and asked.

"Who are you? Junior Brother Mingxin? I haven't seen you all morning." The monk recognized Li Ming at a glance.

Li Ming took another look and said, "Brother Mingwu, what on earth is going on?"

"I don't know either, but it is said that the demon suppressed in the back mountain is causing trouble. Now all the major academies are recruiting people. I don't know where the head of our Dharma Academy has gone, but let's go to Uncle Fa Ming's place. I think Ming Jing has gone there too." Ming Wu said a few simple words and pulled Li Ming towards the place where the disciples of Dharma Academy gathered.

Li Ming was still a little confused, but he vaguely felt that it was closely related to the haunted incident last night. After all, the two events happened so close to each other, and the haunted incident was inherently weird, which almost made it clear that I was trying to lure you down the mountain.

But this also reveals the shortcomings of the famous and upright sects, which is that they really have to deal with these problems, otherwise how can they have the face to call themselves famous and upright sects?
You are always worshipped and offered with incense on ordinary days, but once something happens, you immediately act as if it has nothing to do with you. The people of Naz will not care whether you have any secrets or not. If this happens two or three times, the reputation of your sect will be ruined, and there will be no development.

However, even though he knew it clearly in his heart, he could only stride away with Mingwu. After all, he was just a newly promoted young monk in the main world. Even if he had extraordinary talent, it had not yet been transformed into strength. How could he have the qualifications to stand out?

Soon, everyone gathered together, and Mingxin also discovered Mingjing, Mingliang and Mingde in the team, and hurriedly squeezed towards them.

"Junior Brother Mingxin, you're here." Mingjing greeted him.

Li Ming nodded and asked, "What's going on? Is it related to what happened last night? What about Lu Shiqi? How is he?"

Ming Jing shook her head and said, "I'm not quite sure what's going on. I stayed with Lu Shiqi all night last night and nothing happened. But just now, there was some movement in the back mountain, and then Uncle Fa Ming summoned us."

"Dong, Dong, Dong..." At this time, the big bell of Guangde Temple suddenly rang, ringing nine times in a row, which was a signal of a major crisis.

These monks were immediately in an uproar. Although all the signs today had indicated that something big was going to happen, the ringing of the morning bell at nine o'clock still exceeded everyone's expectations.

After all, according to the temple rules, the morning bell will not be rung easily except in the early morning and on special holidays. Once it rings, it means that something big has happened. According to the severity of the incident, the number of times the morning bell is rung is considered to be at least three times, including but not limited to fire, aging and collapse of houses, and other situations that may endanger the lives of monks.

In Mingxin's memory, he lived in Guangde Temple for more than ten years. The morning bell rang like this only four times, and the most was five times. But this time it rang the highest number of nine, which means that the impending crisis may lead to the destruction of Guangde Temple.

So everyone was talking about it, and everyone was asking the people around them what had happened.

Fa Ming also came in front of the many monks with a very serious expression.

"Quiet!"

The roar contained true power, which made people dizzy and dizzy. Of course, they also fell silent.

"Everyone just heard the morning bell ring out nine times. It's been decades since the last time. If we're not careful, our Guangde Temple will be in danger of destruction. You must listen carefully to every word I say next!"

Fa Ming was imposing without being angry, his face was solemn, and every word he said seemed to strike directly at people's hearts, with a convincing power.

"Guangde Temple was founded 500 years ago and has weathered many storms. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, and we've encountered no shortage of hardships. But our ancestors were able to make it through, so we must have confidence that we can too!"

"Many people are curious about what just happened in the back mountain. Let me tell you, that seven-colored light is the treasure of our Guangde Temple, the Baina Kasaya! This treasure was passed down by Zen Master Ciyue. It has been suppressing evil spirits in the Demon Cave in the back mountain. When the light of the cassock is gone, the evil spirits will break through the cave!"

"The demons suppressed in the Demon Cave are all ruthless killers with blood on their hands. Moreover, they have been imprisoned by our Guangde Temple for who knows how many years. If they break free, the consequences will be disastrous. However, as disciples of Guangde Temple, we have the responsibility to defend our territory and to subdue the demons. If necessary, we must also be willing to sacrifice our lives for the cause!"

"I'm not exaggerating. Listen carefully, the demon suppressed in this Demon Cave is ten thousand times more dangerous than you can imagine. If you're not careful, you could lose your life!"

"On a daily basis, whether it's food, clothing, or the resources used for cultivation, our Dharma Academy has far superior resources to other monks. As the saying goes, you raise an army for a thousand days and use it in one moment! When is the time to use your daily support? It's right here!"

"Think about the common people down here, think about those defenseless women, children, and the elderly. We at Guangde Temple rely on donations from people from all over the world, so we must do something for them. Who are you chanting sutras for? It's not to eliminate your own karma, but to resolve the grievances of the world, cultivate compassion, and attain Bodhi. We are all monks, free from worldly concerns. If we chant sutras to resolve evil spirits, we will also gain great merit. Now tell me, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" Many monks were so excited by Fa Ming's speech that they shouted that they were not afraid, but some people remained silent. Fa Ming was not surprised and continued.

"Monks don't tell lies. I've said so much, and now I just want to tell you that we are going to the back mountain together to set up the Buddha formation. Our monks from the Dharma Academy will be on the front line. This is the most dangerous place, and no one can retreat!"

After saying this, Fa Ming's already serious expression became even more solemn. He glanced around and finally waved his hand!
"set off!"
