Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

And this aura comes from inside the Buddhist temple!

Su Li knocked on the door cautiously.

"Ta-da..."

The sound of the door knocker striking the wood slowly drifted over.

No one responded, so Su Li knocked again.

As the saying goes, "things don't happen more than three times," and just as Su Li was about to knock for the third time, the wooden door slowly opened.

A monk stood in front of Su Li.

Everything that has happened so far has been far too bizarre.

So, Su Li simply flipped open the script on the other person's head.

hiss......

When Su Li opened the other person's script, she gasped.

This guy's script is radiating a deathly aura...

【Huicong (Red Script): Late stage of Nascent Soul Realm, a disciple of the "Hui" generation of Leiyin Temple, considered one of the candidates for the next abbot, with profound Buddhist knowledge and a kind heart.

Huicong, however, was not satisfied with his own talent because Fang Jiang's talent was too high. Therefore, Huicong always believed that his talent was not good enough and that he would never be able to attain the realm of sainthood or Buddhahood in this lifetime.

However, I never insist on it, believing that each leaf has its own unique markings.

Therefore, Huicong felt that it was quite good for him to be a junior steward at Raibin Temple and help manage the temple.

He ultimately died at the hands of Shōshin, the abbot of Raiyū-ji Temple.

Huicong's script was fine at first, but when Su Li saw the last sentence, she was stunned.

"Died at the hands of the abbot of Raijin Temple, Chōshin"?

How is this going?

This guy didn't do anything wrong, so why did he die at the hands of the abbot?

And even if he committed some crime, the most serious consequence would be expulsion from the temple; it's impossible for them to kill this guy...

That's really strange.

Therefore, Su Li guessed that it definitely wasn't this guy's problem.

If it's not his problem, then it must be the abbot's problem!

"Amitabha......"

Upon seeing Su Li and Qian Yun, Huicong clasped his hands together and recited a Buddhist mantra.

"How did you two manage to get up the mountain?"

"Greetings, Master."

Su Li also bowed and then took out the jade pendant.

"I come from the Holy Land of Qianling under the Ten Thousand Laws. I have some things that are troubling me. Fortunately, I received guidance from Senior Brother Fang Jiang, so I have come to visit you."

Please forgive me for trespassing.

"Fang Jiang?"

Huicong was taken aback.

"Which one?"

......

......

[One more chapter, I'll post it around this afternoon~]

Chapter 495 This place is not safe to stay.

"Fang Jiang? Who is that?"

Huicong asked in confusion.

Su Li was taken aback at first, then realized that "Fang Jiang" was the name that her senior brother Fang Jiang gave her. Before that, her senior brother Fang Jiang was a monk at your temple.

As for his Buddhist name, he himself did not know it, and Fang Jiang had never mentioned it either.

Su Li explained, fearing that the other party still couldn't remember, so Su Li took out the jade pendant that Fang Jiang had given her again.

"Master, please take a look."

Huicong took the jade pendant and examined it in his palm.

As he looked at it, Huicong's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is Huijiang's jade pendant!"

Huicong looked at Su Li excitedly, clasping his hands together: "May I ask, benefactor, where is Huijiang now? How is he doing? Is he alright?"

"Master, please don't be agitated. Senior Brother Huijiang is currently at the Henyi Sect in Wanjianzhou, and everything is going well for him."

Senior Brother Huijiang still had some doubts and was unclear about the future path.

But Senior Brother Huijiang has now understood his true nature.

Brother Huijiang was originally also on his way back to Leiyin Temple, but he encountered some matters that needed to be dealt with along the way, which might cause him some delay.

Su Li briefly explained the situation.

Since the other party has said so, then naturally "Huijiang" is Fang Jiang's Dharma name. The two of them belong to the Hui generation, which means they were disciples who entered the sect at the same time.

"I see." Huicong clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect. "It's good that you understand, it's good that you get it... Sigh, all these years have been tough for him. Huijiang, thank you for all your hard work over the years."

"You flatter me, Master."

"Sigh..." Huicong frowned slightly. "His return is certainly a good thing... but now... sigh... this isn't the right time..."

"What makes you say that, Master?" Su Li asked.

"This... is a long story, but please come in, both of you. These matters are not secrets. Since you are Huijiang's friends, I will tell you."

Afterwards, I hope the two of you can also tell Huijiang what happened.

Huicong led Su Li and Qian Yun inside.

Raibin-ji Temple is very large; it's not just a single temple, but also includes many side halls, a library, and other facilities.

In total, Raibiki-ji Temple occupies a total of eighteen mountain peaks, and this entire mountain range belongs to Raibiki-ji.

The place where Su Li is currently is the main hall of Lei Yin Temple, which is also where worshippers offer incense and pray to Buddha.

Upon entering the temple, Su Li saw many monks.

The monks were also curious about Su Li and Qian Yun's visit, their expressions seeming to say, "At this hour, how can anyone still be allowed into the temple?"

Su Li was also observing these monks, and from their expressions, he could see a hint of worry.

Besides, these monks actually looked quite healthy and were in good condition.

Su Li directly opened the scripts of these monks.

At first, the scripts of these monks were all quite ordinary.

But every time Su Li saw the end, his expression became more serious!

Because in each of their scripts, there is a line written: "Killed by the abbot of Raibinji Temple, Shōshin."

It's absolutely unbelievable.

Has the head priest of Raibinji Temple gone mad?

He went on a killing spree everywhere, sparing none of the monks at Raiyuji Temple.

Finally, Huicong led Su Li and the other person into a private room for receiving guests.

"Is there anything wrong, Benefactor Su?"

Noticing that Su Li's expression was somewhat unpleasant, Huicong asked with concern.

"It's alright."

Su Li shook her head, calming herself down.

"Master Huicong, may I ask what happened at your temple? Why is the atmosphere somewhat somber?"

Why does your temple close its gates and prohibit anyone from visiting?

Huicong shook his head and poured Su Li and Qian Yun a cup of hot tea: "Actually, nothing happened at Leiyin Temple. Everything is fine. The reason for the seclusion is due to our abbot."

"Host?"

"Yes."

Huicong nodded.

"Our abbot, who is also my and Fang Jiang's master, is now in the mid-stage of the Ascension Realm."

He is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the late stage of the Ascension Realm.

We should thank the arrival of this great era.

After the Great Age, many realms became easier to break through, and even the success rate of tribulation in the Cave Abode Realm increased significantly.

Actually, we weren't worried at first.

Because Master was already in the mid-stage of the Ascension Realm, and had already shown signs of a breakthrough.

With the current favorable circumstances, we believe that our master will surely succeed.

But now, Master has been in seclusion for three years...

Perhaps in your opinion, a cultivator's three-year seclusion is nothing special.

Not to mention that Master is still in the mid-stage of the Ascension Realm, even if it's been three hundred years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

That's what we thought at first too.

But just a month ago...

Outside the room where the master was in seclusion, a total of seven Buddhist lamps began to go out one after another!

Now there are only two left!

Chan Shui and several other senior uncles performed a divination.

The divination result: A Buddha star falls to earth, destroying mountains and rivers.

This is an extremely ominous sign!

It means that the abbot will die, and when he dies, mountains and rivers thousands of miles away will accompany him in death!

Even the senior disciples were unsure of the reason behind it.

However, several senior disciples simultaneously ordered the sealing off of Leiyin Temple.

Therefore, it has become what it is today.

Listening to Huicong's words, Su Li stroked his chin and offered his opinion:

"In truth, you all probably already have some suspicions in your hearts..."

One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a devil.

Your temple is worried that the abbot might become a demon and harm the people, which is why you closed Rai-in Temple and are even preparing to activate a protective mountain formation to prevent harm to the people.”

Upon hearing Su Li's words, Huicong was first startled, then sighed and nodded:

"Yes, just as Young Master Su said."

My master is at the Ascension Realm. If he were to fall into demonic possession, the Western Regions would be thrown into chaos!

Raibin-ji Temple cannot bear to see such a thing happen.

In any case, if Master falls into demonic possession, then Raiyuji Temple will stop Master no matter what the cost!

The sins of Raihiki-ji should not be the sole culprit for the suffering of the people.

Listening to their words and seeing their determined eyes, Su Li felt even more respect for the monks of Lei Yin Temple.
