Jiangming Temple is located on an unknown hill outside Baijiang City. The entire temple is small in size and is located in a remote place. The incense is naturally not strong. There are not many pilgrims on weekdays, but the monks and novices in the temple grow vegetables and occasionally go down the mountain.
Purchasing is quite comfortable.
However, starting from a few years ago, Jiangming Temple received some "orders" and began to become wealthy.
Even so, except for the renovation of the temple, the entire Jiangming Temple has not expanded. The monks in the temple have maintained their original rhythm of life, and there are still not many pilgrims, except...
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The orange lights illuminated a sturdy figure. He was wearing loose clothes, his skin was bronze-colored, and the muscles in his arms bulged with force. The knots were like snakes and pythons, and they hit the sandbag in front of him.
The sandbag couldn't help shaking, and suddenly there was a muffled bang, the sandbag broke open, and the gravel flowed down, and with the violent swing of the sandbag, it spread all over the ground.
"Master, you broke another sandbag."
A young novice monk, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate face, was helpless.
This is the first place. If the life in the temple were not rich, we really couldn't afford so many sandbags. Moreover, "No matter how strong you are, even if you can deal with a tiger, you can't hurt those things with your fists."
It is better to recite the scriptures more.
It's all money, he went down the mountain to purchase it.
Master Mingdeng wiped his sweat, picked up a string of huge Buddhist beads, hung them around his neck, and then wrapped two more strings around his left and right hands.
I chanted Buddhist sutras for a period of time.
"The blessing of scriptures can hurt evil spirits, but in the end... chanting scriptures cannot save the world."
"The power of scriptures has limits, but people don't have it, and they don't have awakening. So... only awakening can find the power to save the world."
However, the little novice monk wanted to speak but stopped, and stopped talking but wanted to.
He opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.
"Of course I understand as a teacher."
Master Mingdeng said that he knew very well that he was equivalent to a national treasure, and the Bureau of Investigation was not willing to let him risk his life to deal with the evil, let alone risk his awakening.
That's why he exercised hard.
From a handsome monk a few years ago, he has been trained to become a powerful monk who can physically educate people in the world.
Facing the evil and powerful is useless, but awakening is useful.
The stronger the body and the more determined the will, the better the chance of overcoming the difficulty of awakening.
Hiding in the temple, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, watching the soldiers on the front line working hard, it was not what he wanted, and he felt uneasy!
"Now that the investigation bureau has made a breakthrough in its research, it won't be too strict on our teacher."
"Jianxing, after I leave, Jiangming Temple will be taken care of by you."
Master Mingdeng put on his cassock, took a burning lamp in front of the Buddha and the wooden fish he had used for more than ten years, crossed the threshold and walked out.
Behind you are the orange lights of the temple, and in front of you is the darkness of the mountains. You can also see the stars and lights below the mountains.
The burly figure standing at the dividing entrance did not stop and went straight forward.
The back was lost in the darkness.
Only the cry of the young novice monk was left, echoing in this quiet mountain.
…
Southern suburb of Baijiang City,
Outside the temporary camp,
"Young man, don't be nervous." The special investigator "Master", whose online name is not Master Wude, but also known as Master Ma in the world, is giving lectures to many investigators.
His hair is a bit gray, but his face does not look old. Underneath his seemingly thin body, there are strong muscles.
He gestured with his hands, sometimes making palms and sometimes forming fists, "It's just the gate of hell. It's just that there are more evil spirits. It's not a problem to pass through!"
"I remember, Master, when I held a white-tasseled spear and killed seven of them in and out of that heap of monsters. The monsters were so frightened by the news that they urinated in tears."
Although there are elements of artistic processing, Master Ma's strength is recognized throughout the Baiyun Prefecture Bureau.
One of the strongest men.
Today they also saw Master Ma deal with Weixie, with a white tassel spear thrusting out one after another. In the blink of an eye, he fired more than a dozen shots, completely destroying Weixie.
This has not even used the awakening ability... It is said that Master Ma's awakening ability is also quite powerful, and it is related to thunder.
Having a strong person like Master Ma around gives people a sense of security.
But, "Master Ma, a strong person like you, can't you touch the threshold of the second level of awakening?"
an investigator asked.
Although one awakening is very far away for them, Master Ma is said to have awakened more than a year ago and is almost among the first batch of awakened people. Can't this be a second time?
The old master's expression froze slightly and he waved his hand, "This is a secret. You will understand it when you are promoted to special investigators."
It's confidential.
The investigators regretted but understood that there were many secrets in their profession. They only learned about the awakening and could not talk about the second awakening. This is also reasonable.
After the investigators dispersed and the patrol was completed, the clerk and the master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He indeed touched the threshold of the second awakening very early.
Different from the first awakening, when an awakened person like him accumulates mysteries to a certain extent, there will be an omen in the dark.
The conditions are almost met and you are ready to awaken.
Awakeners with this sign will trigger a second awakening within a month.
It stands to reason that if you are prepared and have warnings, the situation will be more favorable than the first hasty awakening without warning, but the fact is...
Master Ma witnessed with his own eyes that the two first-time awakeners in front of him, comrades with good relations, failed to awaken and died day by day.
After that, during the entire year, three special investigators from the Baiyun Prefecture Bureau chose to awaken one after another, and none of them failed or died unexpectedly.
One of them also transformed into a terrifying evil spirit. If no plan had been made in advance, that evil spirit would have caused a terrible disaster.
Master Ma had heard that someone from the General Administration had successfully awakened for the second time, but the probability was too low, so low that it was shockingly low.
This kind of risking one's life is still a risking one's life with only a slight chance. Master Ma doesn't want it. It's too precarious.
The bureau doesn't recommend it either.
Any special investigator is a valuable asset and the cornerstone of the fight against evil. You already have very few manpower and still want to take a chance on a second awakening?
Don’t even think about it!
There are special methods within the Investigation Bureau that can eliminate some mysteries to avoid awakening. This is what Master Ma did.
However, just like drinking poison to quench thirst, there are more and more mysteries in the body.
The situation today is very different from a few months ago, or even half a month ago.
Master Ma looked at the lights in the distance.
"When the signs of awakening appear again, should I choose to continue to delay, continue to delay, or..."
Damn Mahler!
Why are those guys from the General Administration so useless? Can't they quickly come up with a way to easily awaken and drag the evil spirits around in a fancy way without any side effects?
"Master Ma."
"Come on, come on, master, let me teach you young guys where to poke when you face the evil tomorrow."
