The furthest south-
Guanyin Zen Temple.
In the front yard, the crowd surged, and all the monks gathered there, their faces revealing worry.
Their gazes were fixed on the gate, as if waiting for some news.
Suddenly.
A young monk stumbled in.
“All…”
“All dead, Merit Incense Masters… all dead!” The monk’s face was full of horror, panting heavily while gesturing to the other monks.
“Roasted, charred!”
With those words.
It immediately caused a huge commotion. The monks’ faces turned pale, full of despair.
“What to do, the things in the dream were true, it’s over!”
“Bodhisattva, please bless me. 1 have been offering you my sincere devotion for many years, please protect me.”
“It’s over. Master, should we run?”
At this moment.
Facing the chaos of the monks.
Elder Jinchi remained calm and composed.
Unlike these ordinary monks, he knew more about the world and even received the grace of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
He was very clear.
There are gods, demons, and ghosts in this world.
But even among the immortals, demons, and ghosts, there was still division of strength.
Mo Ke Jiedi had told him that the Soul Calming Plaque bestowed by Guanyin Bodhisattva could not only be used to attract believers but also as a Body Protection Talisman.
“Ahem!”
Elder Jinchi coughed lightly and struck the ground twice with his cane.
Seeing that the abbot was about to speak, everyone stopped talking and looked at him with expectant eyes.
“Amitabha, it’s unbecoming of monks to be so noisy and disruptive!”
Elder Jinchi first scolded them, then continued slowly: “With the Bodhisattva here and the venerable here, the sky… can’t collapse!”
As soon as his words finished.
He saw that the fear in his underlings’ eyes became even more intense.
Even.
A monk with a scar on his face directly collapsed on the ground. He remembered that this monk used to be a ranger before he became a monk, but couldn’t remember his name.
“Amitabha, if you want to continue like this, don’t blame the old monk for deducting your merits!”
“Hmph!” Elder Jinchi snorted coldly.
However.
He found that the deduction of merits, once a surefire method, failed to bring the monks back to their senses, and their expressions turned even more fearful.
And their gaze seemed strange… Why… were they looking at his head?
Elder Jinchi looked up instinctively.
In an instant!
“All! Amitabha…” Elder Jinchi was startled, his heart full of fear. However, after he touched the jade brand in his chest, he relaxed a little.
He saw.
A Taoist in a daoist robe, with a gait and foot tread of a Lucky cloud floating in the air.
Next to the Taoist, there was a young man in white and four semi-transparent, short old men with long beards.
“Zhu Gaofeng, born in Wude… Killing and robbing, shielding Yang Bizhen, Old Wang Five, Zhang Youfu… extremely sinful, deserve the Five Thunders Bombing!”
Daoist Xuanqing said calmly, recounting Jinchi Elder’s sins.
All in all.
Among all the people in Black Wind Town, except for the grain merchant, the amount of negative energy on Elder Jinchi was the highest. Were it not for the Buddha’s light protecting him, he would have returned to the Pure Land long ago.
“Yan Peng, born in Wude… Killing and robbing, bullying the market, extremely evil, deserve the Five Thunders Bombing!”
Plop-
“Don’t, don’t kill me, I’ve already laid down the butcher’s knife, the abbot said…said that laying down the butcher’s knife can turn me into a Buddha immediately, don’t…”
The monk with a scar on his face slumped to the ground, staring at his legs incessantly, and the roots of his robe were already wet.
Dark clouds began to gather in the sky.
The monks discovered that the scene in their dream had turned into reality at this moment.
However.
They felt relieved because, from the words of the immortals in the sky, this so-called Five Thunders Bombing was obviously directed at the abbot, the monk Hui De.
It is worth mentioning that Monk Hui De was none other than the murderous bully and swindler Ranger.
Humming-‘
The friction between the dark clouds produced a depressing and dull sound, like the prelude to death, echoing in everyone’s hearts.
Seeing such a formation.
Elder Jinchi’s face could not help but reveal his panic.
Although he had seen a lot and was knowledgeable, he was after all just a mortal, so how could he not be afraid when facing this divine majesty?
“Blessed by the Bodhisattva!”
Elder Jinchi took out the jade brand from his bosom and murmured: “Venerable Mo Ke Jiedi, this disciple is in great trouble, please save me!”
“Disciple…Disciple has already followed the venerable’s instructions and exchanged your golden body with Muzha Spirit Child, please save this disciple!”
the next moment.
The Jade brand shined.
A dozen feet tall, bald monk with bare arms emerged from the jade brand, exuding a sacred and overwhelming aura.
Rescued!
Elder Jinchi’s heart was overjoyed, and he knelt down on the ground promptly, “Disciple pays respects to Venerable Mo Ke Jiedi!”
Upon seeing this.
One by one, the monks all knelt down, their faces filled with excitement, shouting, ‘Disciple pays respects to Venerable Mo Ke Jiedi!’
High in the sky.
Seeing the figure of Mo Ke Jiedi below, Daoist Xuanqing showed a smile on his lips.
In fact.
The reason why the heavenly thunder had not fallen wasn’t that it needed to brew, but because he had deliberately put pressure on Elder Jinchi, and then attracted the other party to use the last resort.
He had originally thought that the backup plan was left by Guanyin since this place was the Guanyin Zen Temple, but he didn’t expect it to be just a Mo Ke Jiedi.
Daoist Xuanqing turned his head and gave Gentleman Bai She a signal with his eyes.
Upon seeing this.
Gentleman Bai She hurriedly took out a transparent crystal ball from his bosom and poured mana into the crystal ball.
This crystal ball was not a powerful magic treasure. It was called Stay in the Picture Crystal, as the name suggests, it was used for recording images.
That’s right.
Daoist Xuanqing had done all this to record the scene.
As the thinking mode of a modern person, whether it’s helping old ladies or fighting with others, one can never escape the existence of surveillance.
Of course.
Recording the scene of Mo Ke Jiedi protecting Elder Jinchi is not to help them seek redress since no one would seek justice in a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong.
The main purpose is for later use to undermine the faith in Buddhism.
For example… later, let Black Bear Essence circulate the recorded images throughout the villages under Black Wind Town so that the common people can see if this so-called Merciful Buddha Gate is worth their faith!
Down below.
This towering illusion is not the true body of Mo Ke Jiedi, but a wisp of divine thought he left behind.
Soon.
This illusion of Mo Ke Jiedi quickly figured out the current situation, and sneered as he stood in front of Elder Jinchi, shouting at Daoist Xuanqing on the lucky cloud above:
“It’s you, Daoist Xuanqing! Jinchi is a person of the Buddha, it’s not your place as a Taoist to interfere!”
