Master, what path do you cultivate?

The third sister who hung up the phone was not in the mood to be angry with the people from the East Indian Buddhist State Security Department, but was anxious to directly ask Ji Qinglin and others about the situation here.

After getting through to the third sister, Ji Qinglin also told her in brief details what happened to him and Chi Ye and the others' encounter with A Qing.

Third sister sighed and said:

"Although I was mentally prepared, I didn't expect that the people from the Pagoda Temple would really dare to do it! They actually killed so many people."

"They didn't do it before probably because they didn't have the opportunity. Every temple abbot is called Jiechen. You can see that they have never forgotten their original mission."

"So, the transfer was already planned."

"That's for sure. Regardless of whether we come or not, the murders here must not be hidden. They must have a second stronghold, but the tunnel below is really dangerous and has been blown up by them. We want to track it down. It may not be realistic."

"There are so many of them, they will definitely not be able to escape from the Dongyin Buddhist Kingdom. Let them handle the rest of the matter themselves. Don't they still have a Buddhist saint? Are you four really okay?"

Ji Qinglin looked at Yu Ye in his arms, glanced at Chi Ye who was also tired and Lu Bing who couldn't bear to finish half a bottle of Coke, and replied:

"Don't worry, I'm just too tired. I just want to go back to sleep now."

After all, after walking for two days in the underground cracks, I ate a few bowls of noodles and rushed straight up. Things came to an end for the time being, and I felt tired.

"Okay, then don't worry about anything. Find a place to have a good rest first, and let me handle the matters here first."

"good!"

Having a leader can make things easier. Ji Qinglin stretched his waist and said:

"Let's go, let's take a rest. They will be in charge of the scene here."

Chi Ye, who still had some physical strength, asked:

"Master, don't you need to search to see if there are any clues?"

"It's immeasurable how much preparation we have made for a thousand-year-old temple. The valuable things are probably almost destroyed. We will tell us after the police from Dongyin Buddhist Kingdom have inspected it."

However, at this time, the police officers were walking down the mountain with the pilgrims who had just been calmed down and regained their senses, blocking the mountain road going down to a certain extent.

The surviving pilgrims were also so frightened that they probably would not dare to go up the mountain to offer incense in the rest of their lives.

Yuye had regained consciousness and insisted on walking down by herself.

Seeing that the road down the mountain was blocked, Ji Qinglin turned to look at another road.

The Pagoda Temple is behind the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in front is still burning with fire. Police officers and firefighters have already started walking up the mountain.

There are water sources and fire-fighting equipment on the mountain, but the people of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple have also taken into consideration, so they seal what should be sealed in advance and hide what should be hidden. It is very laborious to put out the fire.

However, the fire that Chi Ye had set on the mountainside had been extinguished by now.

Anyway, rest means sleeping. Now there is a mess at the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding hotels are all occupied by pilgrims.

It is impossible to go over and tell the store owner: This pilgrim is most likely dead, so give the house to us.

Thinking about it, Ji Qinglin waved his finger and pointed to the hillside of Wanfo Temple and said:

"Let's go over there and rest."

The four of them wandered to the relatively deserted platform halfway up the mountain in front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

It can be seen that more than half of the tents have been burned down, which was exactly the work of Chi Ye.

Fortunately, Ji Qinglin and Yu Ye's tents were placed on the edge of the hillside and were not affected.

There were unattended snacks and drinks everywhere, and they couldn't care less at this time. Everyone ate some more to replenish their strength and gave the Coke they found to Lu Bing, who had stopped drinking.

Before dawn, Ji Qinglin dragged his tired body and lay down in the tent that had been laid out before.

Yu Ye and Chi Ye also got in, while Lu Bing took off his blood-stained clothes before getting in.

I originally bought a larger tent, and adding one and a half people to it was a bit cramped, but it could still fit in it, and it was even warmer if we put them together.

In order to save space, Lu Bing took advantage of the opportunity and fell into Ji Qinglin's arms.

At this time, everyone was a little tired, and Chi Ye was not in the mood to pick on Lu Bing.

Everyone covered themselves with a blanket and rested in the tent. Lu Bing asked softly:

"Ji Qinglin, who is that Jie Chen? Did you and Yuye find anything down there?"

Ji Qinglin closed his eyes and replied:

"He is a person that I can't figure out. Judging from the current information, he should be from Kyushu together with Xianren and Fenye; he is the source of this flesh-sucking monster; but he also teaches the method of sealing this monster. The eminent monk."

"So weird? What on earth did you experience down there?"

Yu Ye told Chi Ye and Lu Bing what happened after the master and apprentice fell into the huge crack.

Lu Bing said in surprise:

"No way? So the mountain under our feet was moved here?"

"Master and I also speculated based on the slate. I'm afraid we need to conduct a survey to confirm the details."

Chi Ye asked:

"Then tomorrow shall we follow Ah Qing and the others, or shall we look for other clues here? Judging from their intentions, it seems that they want to further resurrect Jie Chen."

Yuye suggested:

"I think we can check the local county annals here to find information about Wanfo Temple. Maybe we can find clues about Monk Jiechen."

Lu Bing added:

"Actually, this matter can be left to the Buddha Sage to handle. Although that guy doesn't care about worldly affairs on Foyuan Mountain, such a big thing happened this time, and his eldest disciple was also affected. I guess he can't stay out of it. Ji Qinglin, you What do you say?"

The three of them looked at Ji Qinglin together, only to see that he was already sleeping next to him.

It seems that I have been very tired these past few days.

Lu Bing grabbed the clothes and rubbed them into his arms. Yu Ye and Chi Ye also leaned over, and the three of them slowly fell asleep.

Although it is not serious camping in the wild, the effect of sleeping together in the wild is achieved.

The tent's light isolation effect is very good, and the four people slept soundly.

Especially Lu Bing, who was sleeping in the middle, with Ji Qinglin's arms on one side and Chi Ye leaning against him on the other.

Although he woke up in the middle, he was addicted to the feeling of being hugged left and right and did not get up.

In the end, Ji Qinglin was awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the tent.

When I came out, I saw that it was almost noon, and the police and firefighters were finally extinguishing the fire at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Rather than extinguishing it, it would be more thorough to say that most of it was burned out.

The police officers and firefighters were also startled when they saw four people emerging from what they thought was a tent next to the ruins.

Fortunately, the leading police officer recognized Ji Qinglin and the others at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them:

"It's you four! The boss and Master Jingneng are still looking for you."

Ji Qinglin came over and washed his face with water, looked up at the temple and asked:

"It's already been put out, right?"

"Well, it's barely extinguished."

"Okay, let's go up and have a look."

"Hey! You guys, please pay attention to your safety. Many houses are about to burn down! Let's wait until the ruins are cleared."

"It doesn't matter."

We stepped into the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple again, but this time the entire temple had been destroyed by fire.

Most of the trees in the temple's temple have been burned to the ground, and the old pine trees on the side that were burned down to only their dry trunks are still emitting green smoke.

The main hall in the front hall and the back room were also burned down. It felt like a real-life version of "The Burning of Shaolin Temple".

Lu Bing sighed:

"It can be considered a thousand-year-old temple, which is a pity."

Ji Qinglin didn't come here to pay his respects, but wanted to try his luck and see if there were any clues left.

Although the people of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were well prepared, it did not mean that the fire could destroy everything.

Following the location provided by Zhao Heng, the four of them quickly found the room where Jie Chen was in charge.

The house had also been burned down, but the fire also destroyed some of the previous disguises in the house. After a little search, the four found a secret door behind the ruins of the bookshelf on the back wall.

The secret door that was originally hidden in the wall and could not be discovered was now burned through, and Chi Ye kicked it open.

After confirming that there were no traps, the four of them entered using their mobile phones.

When I walked in, I realized that the darkroom was not very big, only a few dozen square meters.

However, because of the closed structure at the corner, the flames outside did not burn the place down.

To the surprise of Ji Qinglin and the others, there was no top-secret information placed here. Instead, there were three long altar tables with spiritual tablets neatly stacked on them.

Everyone has the same name.

Remove dust.

When I picked it up and looked at it carefully, I found that although the names were the same, there were numbers underneath them.

From the first Jiechen to the latest thirty-fifth Jiechen.

"It's really an orderly inheritance."

On the three rows of altars, there is a portrait hanging.

Ji Qinglin reached out and took it off to take a closer look.

But in the painting, he saw a young monk dressed in blood-colored clothes, standing on the top of a mountain with bare feet and single clothes.

Although the painting is not so detailed, this outfit is obviously the posture of the monk who was revived by Ah Qing.

There are four sentences written on the edge of the painting:

The blood calamity of hundreds of ghosts and thousands of souls has been opened, and the Buddha's head vajra owes karma.

On the day when the Buddha returns, he will wash away all his sins and lay his soul on the altar.

Lu Bing hummed:

"Oh, that's not a small tone. The one they worship is probably Jiechen. To be honest, he is indeed stronger than Jiuxiong, but he is still far behind the Four Saints."

Yuye nodded and said:

"Looking at the meaning of these words, they seem to think that the Jiechen they resurrected is the Buddhist sect, so they have believed and implemented it for thousands of years."

Ji Qinglin was quite concerned about the first two sentences.

"The blood calamity of hundreds of ghosts and thousands of souls opened the karmic debt of the Buddha's Head Vajra. I don't know if the blood tribulation they are talking about is the murder of thousands of people that happened this time. So what does the 'karma debt of the Buddha's Head Vajra' mean?"

Chi Ye waved his hand and said:

"I think it's just Jie Chen's bragging. Don't the masters in Buddhism like to use this set of mysterious things to deceive people?"

Ji Qinglin didn't think about it for a while, but he rolled up the painting anyway.

The four of them briefly searched the secret room and found nothing of value before they came out and walked towards the pagoda temple on the back mountain.
