Chapter 18 018 [Breaking into the Temple]

The Yuhuang Temple was built three hundred years ago and is extremely large in scale.

Even the Arhat Hall, which is only one of the four major halls, has eighteen main halls and forty-three affiliated courtyards.

At this time, the area where the Arhat Hall was located was not particularly noisy, so Chen Sheng could not tell where Zhu Chongliu and Zhu Chongqi were imprisoned.

However, this information is not difficult to obtain.

He followed the slightly hot night breeze and heard faint groans that sounded like joy and pain, and jumped into a small courtyard.

He strode to a side room, kicked the wooden latch behind the door and rushed in.

Then he saw two bald monks and a pretty woman lying on the bed in the room.

The monks in Luohan Hall practiced martial arts all year round and kept their bodies in good shape. The woman was probably the wife or daughter of a tenant in the temple, and her appearance, figure, and skin were also above average.

Therefore, this scene does not look too shocking.

"Who are you, you bastard? How dare you trespass into the Buddha's meditation room?"

The three men were disturbed by Chen Sheng, and a warrior monk who was standing on the bed with his hands on his waist suddenly walked towards him angrily.

The woman screamed and covered her head, but the whimpering sound continued.

The remaining monk continued his previous actions and even said to his companions with a smile.

"This boy is good-looking, and judging by his clothes, he must be a craftsman in the temple.

Brother, please pull him over to play with us.

The two of us can help clean up the dirt in the back alley, and Sister-in-law Wu can help tidy up the grass in the front yard. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the four of us could enjoy ourselves together?"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng laughed.

This is the trouble with being handsome. No matter which world you are in, both men and women will like you.

He immediately turned into a shadow, stretched out his hand to grab the neck of the monk in front of him, rushed to the bed like picking up a chicken, and grabbed the throat of another monk.

"Where did your leader keep the prisoners after he returned tonight?"

As he spoke, he slightly loosened his grip on the first monk's hand, but he didn't expect that what came out of the other monk's mouth was complete nonsense.

"You dare to come to Yuhuang Temple and act wildly? You are seeking death."

"You are seeking death."

With a squeeze of his five fingers, the cervical vertebrae broke with a crisp sound. Chen Sheng threw the body on the ground like garbage and looked at the remaining monks.

"Did you say that?"

This was a shocking sight, as I discovered that the other person's body was shaking violently due to the shock of his companion's death.

After shivering for a few seconds, he trembled all over and said.

"The abbot captured more than twenty craftsmen from the back mountain and brought back most of them, and locked them up in the Maitreya Hall.

The only exceptions were the two leading figures, who were personally imprisoned and guarded by the chief monk in the Kasyapa Hall."

"What are the names of the two leaders?"

"This... I haven't paid much attention to it. I only vaguely remember that their surnames are Gou."

Click!

The monk's cervical vertebrae were broken, and he collapsed limply on top of the man kneeling on the bed.

After that, there was no more movement in the room, but shouts, cries of killing and screams were heard in the yard.

The martial monks living in this courtyard heard the noise, discovered Chen Sheng's whereabouts, and fought with him.

Soon, the shouting and screaming became less and less frequent, and gradually moved away until it was inaudible.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman lifted the quilt covering her head a little and looked out nervously.

After confirming that the room was empty, she screamed and threw off the corpse, tumbling and crawling out. What came into view was the yard littered with bald corpses, broken weapons, flying intestines and lungs, and horrific limbs and arms...

Arhat Hall, inside the Kasyapa Hall.

The flickering candlelight in front of the golden body of the Arhat Subduing the Dragon made the shadows of several people in the hall sway.

A tall, rugged-looking bald monk was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, reciting a volume of the Lotus Sutra in a low voice.

He was wearing a right-side-exposed cassock, and his arms and shoulders, which were exposed outside the cassock, were muscular and had a lifelike blue dragon tattoo on them.

This person is none other than the head monk of Arhat Hall - Master Jueshan.

Not far behind him, Zhu Chongliu and Zhu Chongqi were tied up with hemp ropes and were lying on the floor struggling and squirming.

Perhaps disturbed by their movements, Jueshan frowned slightly, stood up and looked at them.

"According to the people in the temple, you are living a comfortable life in our temple, without suffering from famine or the worry of war. Why do you want to lead the rebellion?
Don’t you know that this action is the root of trouble and will bring disaster to those who come to the temple?

Have you ever considered that if the uprising fails, the three-hundred-year-old Yuhuang Temple will be engulfed in flames of war, and what will become of the thousands of people within it?"

Zhu Chongliu spat out the cloth in his mouth and said seriously.

"That's because your compassion is too narrow. You only want to save yourself, not others.

We brothers practice Mahayana Buddhism, which aims to save all sentient beings and bring peace to the world. This is true compassion and the salvation of all sentient beings."

"Amitabha!"

Jueshan chanted the Buddha's name and shook his head.

"Delusions, it's all the delusion that's causing all this trouble. It seems only the Buddha's teachings can help eliminate these demonic thoughts in your hearts."

As he spoke, he walked up to the two brothers, squatted down, placed his hands on their dantian, transferred his internal energy, and sensed the situation inside their bodies.

Feeling that in addition to the internal strength they cultivated through the "Arhat Subduing Demons" and the "Vajra Meditation Lion's Roar", they also had a power in their muscles and bones that was as hot and sticky as blood, he couldn't help but feel happy.

As early as when they fought before, he noticed the difference in their martial arts.

This power flowing through the flesh and blood clearly comes from a training method that is different from today's martial arts.

If I could acquire this kind of martial arts, successfully practice it, and spread it throughout the world, I would probably have a status in Buddhism in the future that is no less than that of Bodhidharma.

With such ambitions, he felt that the two young men in front of him were treasures.

At this moment, a faint noise suddenly came from outside the hall.

Jueshan frowned, stood up, opened the door and asked, "What happened?"

The person guarding the door was a young novice monk. He had just finished talking with a young monk in gray clothes and turned around to report.

"Master, I don't know what happened in the temple.

Just now, a monk came to report that there were continuous screams coming from the dense forest in the back mountain.

I think something might have gone wrong with Jueci."

What's wrong?

That’s right, these two brothers are really too young, and that unique martial art should have been passed down to them by their elder brother.

Just with Jueci's martial arts skills, can't he defeat the opponent?

Jueshan was thinking about his own important matters in his mind, when suddenly he felt something and looked up to the upper right.

Then he saw a handsome young man standing on the wall there. He looked somewhat similar to the pair of brothers he had captured.

The young man threw a bald human head in his hand to Jueshan's feet and asked with a kind face.

"Monk, is this the Kasyapa Hall?"
