"Da da da" The tapping sound of the wooden fish came one after another, which made Li Huowang feel angry.
"Li Sui, let's go! Let's see what kind of monster it is!" Li Huowang took out a few swords under the pillow, led Li Sui and rushed toward the sound while stepping on the tiles.
Soon Li Huowang found the source of the sound. It was a group of monks, to be precise, monks who were as thin as skeletons.
These monks were sitting cross-legged at the end of the village, banging wooden fish. The victims next to them seemed to have woken up, but they didn't dare to look around. They buried their heads deep in the straw and shivered.
The moment Li Huowang appeared, the monks all looked over. Some of the monks did not look at him with their eyes, but with the ring scars on their heads. Some of the eye stalks with eyeballs burrowed in like maggots.
Out.
"Amitabha, this benefactor, this poor monk is so polite."
Li Huowang looked at the old monk who said this in front of him. Although the old monk was too thin and out of shape, he could still tell at a glance that this monk looked exactly like the monk next to him. This man was the abbot of Zhengde Temple in Daqi! <
/p>
"Amitabha, this poor monk is here to ask for alms. I hope the donor can be generous with his alms." As they spoke, they pushed the copper bowls on the ground forward, and the sound of wooden fish stopped at this moment.
"Alchemy? I just won't give it! What can you do?" Li Sui's black tentacles instantly emerged from Li Huowang's body, and the tentacles were entangled with various talismans and torture instruments and suspended up and down in the air.
Footsteps sounded from behind Li Huowang. Bai Lingmiao stood silently behind Li Huowang with a group of White Lotus believers who appeared from nowhere.
Not only Bai Lingmiao, everyone in Niuxin Village who had some ability hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed here.
If compared by the number of people, then Li Huowang's side undoubtedly has the advantage.
Just when Li Huowang was about to think that the other party was going to get serious with him, the abbot of Zhengde Temple actually stood up, glanced at the Bailian believers beside Bai Lingmiao, held the wooden bowl, bowed to Li Huowang with his hands clasped, and left with the monks.
.
"Li...Senior Brother Li, what's going on with these weird monks? Why did they leave?" Gou Wa asked in surprise.
Looking at the direction in which the monks were leaving in the distance, Li Huowang, who was frowning, pondered for a while and then said to Bai Lingmiao: "Take your people and guard Niuxin Village first. I'll go and see what happens to these monks."
What are you trying to do?"
He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid that thieves would miss him. Li Huowang was very afraid that these monks would not give up.
"Senior Brother Li, be careful, they have strength in numbers."
"It's okay, even if you can't fight, it's okay to run." Li Huowang said, his body began to dislocate, and he moved to the ground, and followed slowly forward in the invisible state.
I should have thought a long time ago that if the people of Daqi came to Daliang, and the Dharma teachings of Daqi also came to Daliang, then other sects and sects of Daqi would naturally follow them.
The monks did not wear shoes, and their footsteps were clearly visible on the concrete floor. Li Huowang slowed down and followed them slowly.
They walked two miles, and just when Li Huowang was wondering whether these monster monks were planning to make a large circle to attack Niuxin Village, he actually smelled a familiar smell of meat in the air.
Li Huowang remembered this smell, it was the smell of human flesh! Then his eyes gradually turned evil.
Looking around, Li Huowang used his hands and feet to climb up to the crown of a tall pine tree. Everything in the distance suddenly came into view. Soon he saw where the smell of meat came from.
In the forest not far away, a small clay Buddha was placed on a platform, while a large group of ragged victims knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Buddha.
Next to the Buddha statue, Li Huowang saw a horrifying scene. Several monks with bulging bellies were lying on the ground, their legs were raised high, and dark red blood mixed with amniotic fluid was slowly flowing on the ground.
What they gave birth to was not a baby, but a deformed mass of flesh, bone, and hair intertwined with each other!
These lumps of flesh that crumbled from time to time and were still wrapped around the umbilical cord were held by some monks and put into several large urns placed on the fire.
As the balls of flesh and blood were thrown into the boiling water, the smell of meat in the air became stronger.
Soon, the victims who were lying on the ground stood up and lined up spontaneously, holding various broken bowls to collect the broth and pour it into their stomachs.
They were actually eating that kind of food, and Li Huowang suddenly felt a strong sense of nausea.
"Almsgiver, this poor monk is justified." The voice from under the tree instantly made Li Huowang feel chilled, he had been discovered!
Without almost any consideration, Li Huowang clenched his spine sword and rushed directly towards the tree.
He swung out the crack and easily split the monk under the tree into two halves, but the two halves of flesh and blood squirmed quickly, quickly came together, and returned to their original shape.
Li Huowang's blow just now had no impact on the old monk at all.
Li Huowang glared fiercely at the face in front of him that looked exactly like the hallucination monk, "How fucking disgusting! What the hell are you doing with the victims!!"
The old monk raised the hand with the beads hanging on it and clasped his hands together, "Donor, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. We are saving people."
"Although we understand that we can't save the world, we can't help but save the people right in front of us."
"Feeding that disgusting stuff to others is saving lives? Then why don't you eat it yourself!"
"Amitabha, donor, we are monks and cannot eat meat."
"But they have no choice. Although it is against ethics, after all, this is the only thing to eat now. If they don't eat it, they will starve to death."
The other party's words immediately left Li Huowang speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Is this monk from Zhengde Temple using such a weird method to conjure food to save the victims?
"Donor, now that the Dharma is at an end, the poor monks really can't find food, so we can only borrow the Buddha's Dharma to protect all living beings and be compassionate to everyone." The abbot of Zhengde Temple said this with a look of compassion on his face, and his thin face
His skull-shaped face seemed to be filled with Buddha light.
"Ah~! Good man, great good man! Taoist priest, this monk who looks similar to me is a good monk!!" The hallucination monk stood beside him and said with praise.
Li Huowang glared at him, and then continued to look at the abbot of Zhengde Temple. He continued to say: "So...you just approached my village, are you really just asking for some food? You really have no food at all."
?"
"Donor, the poor monk and the disciples just talked about alms and nothing else. Why does this benefactor have to be in trouble with us compassionate monks?"
Li Huowang definitely disagreed with this. "Compassion? Why didn't you say compassion when you stuffed those baby girls into the bottle?"
"Donor, why did you mention this matter? They were all abandoned by others. If we hadn't kept them, they would have been buried alive in the pond. This poor monk is trying to find a way for those women to survive. This is a good deed.
”
"Is it a good thing to let the eunuch give birth to a son?"
"A good deed! Of course it is a great good deed. How can it not be a good deed to help others to have a future?"
Li Huowang no longer wanted to say anything at this moment. He finally understood that these monks from Zhengde Temple were indeed doing good deeds, but they were just doing what they thought were good deeds.
If one day they feel that killing people and setting fires is a good deed, they will probably do it without hesitation.
