Early the next morning, the group headed towards Baizhang Mountain.
Jialong Temple is located on the Thousand-foot Peak of Baizhang Mountain. Although the height of several hundred meters is not very steep, several climbers were already out of breath after climbing up.
The eldest lady of the Rong family was carried up in a sedan chair, but she was not tired at all.
We set off in the morning and arrived at the entrance of Jialong Temple, and it was already noon.
There were two Zhike monks at the door who had been waiting for a long time. After seeing the team arriving, they quickly invited them in.
Zhang Yue walked into Jialong Temple and felt that it was quite different from the monk temple he saw in reality.
He didn't know that it was because rumors about the unrest in Jialong Temple had spread too much recently, but he didn't see any other pilgrims here.
The entire Jialong Temple has an empty feeling. The originally benevolent Buddha sculptures also have a sinister look in the shadows that seeks to devour others.
"There may be something very wrong with this temple."
Zhang Yue felt vigilant and informed Brother Zhang with his eyes, asking the gangsters to pay more attention.
Since it was already noon when we entered Jialong Temple, and knowing that none of the group had eaten yet, Zhike monk led people to the canteen of Jialong Temple.
Soon a table of vegetarian dishes was served.
Zhang Yue sniffed the dishes, which were fragrant and had no strange smell.
Of course, he is not good at this, and even with medicine, it is impossible to make the smell too strong.
Brother Zhang checked it carefully and shook his head to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the vegetarian food.
Zhang Yue nodded, and everyone gathered around to take down their chopsticks.
He himself took out a big piece of cake and ate it. After all, if there was really a problem, he still had a fighting force here to ensure that he would be worry-free.
This made Brother Zhang feel a little unhappy, as he felt that the young master's bodyguard didn't trust him.
Just as everyone was eating according to the case, the table of the Rong family not far away suddenly heard the sound of groups of soldiers clanging.
Before Zhang Yue turned around, he saw everyone around him sleeping on the dining table.
He was startled, and quickly reached out to touch their middle-aged men. He felt that they were still breathing, and guessed that they belonged to the category of sweat-inducing drugs.
Seeing that all the people at the two tables were stunned, Zhang Yue also understood in his heart that there was something wrong with Jialong Temple.
But just lift the table now? Or wait and see what those monks are going to do.
He then closed his eyes and lay down on the table, waiting for a quarter of an hour before the figure came through the door.
"You send these pigs to the dungeon at the back."
A hoarse voice sounded, followed by several heavy yes sounds.
Zhang Yue heard that one of them seemed to be the Zhike monk from before.
Then he felt his body being dragged.
After dragging it for a long time, I felt as if my body was being dragged into a damp tunnel.
This should be the so-called dungeon.
"There is such a thing in a temple. It seems that it was not a good place in the first place."
Zhang Yue muttered in his heart, and then he felt that his whole body was thrown into something, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
He carefully opened his eyes, only to find that he was thrown into an iron cage and hung in the air.
The iron cage was not big, but more than a dozen people were thrown in one after another, and it gradually became crowded.
Naturally, Zhang Yue didn't care much about this kind of thing.
With his current internal strength, there is no problem in breaking these iron bars.
However, these monks in Jialong Temple were so rebellious that even the team that came to offer incense were stunned and didn't know what they were going to do.
Slowly, it seemed that everyone had been sent to the dungeon, and some people began to wake up and immediately shouted for help.
Zhang Yue also opened his eyes at this time, sat in the iron cage and looked around.
There were people from the escort agency around him, and Brother Zhang also had his eyes open at the moment with a dull look on his face.
He didn't expect that he would stumble here after being tested for so long.
It's just that he was very curious. Why was Zhang Yue sent here like them when he clearly didn't eat food?
But when he saw Zhang Yue raising his index finger towards him, he didn't dwell on it.
"There seem to be a lot of people here."
Zhang Yue looked around and saw that there were more than a dozen iron cages like theirs in this dungeon.
Even based on the serving size of seven or eight people, there are at least hundreds of people here.
"Could it be that all the pilgrims who came to offer incense were arrested?"
"There are also some people wearing animal skins and linen clothes. Are they arresting all the mountain people in the mountain village?"
Zhang Yue's eyes were very poisonous, and everything around him was reflected in his eyes.
Jialong Temple has arrested so many people, what on earth is it trying to do?
snap, snap, snap
The sound of someone walking was heard in my ears.
Zhang Yue turned to look at the entrance of the dungeon and saw the eldest lady of the Rong family standing with a rather young man.
The eldest daughter of the Rong family looked a little flustered. She held the man's hand and carefully walked through the iron cages.
In another iron cage next to her, her former maids and servants were frantically calling her name, but she did not raise her head in response.
Zhang Yue hummed in his heart and looked at the two people sitting on the chairs in the center of the dungeon.
He moved his ears, and the faint conversation between the two people over there made him gradually understand the cause of the matter.
But it turned out that the eldest lady of the Rong family was really in love with that young man.
The man's name was Su Yi, who also came from a wealthy family, and was his childhood sweetheart with the eldest daughter of the Rong family.
As a result, his family fell into decline and he had to leave this sad place.
The eldest daughter of the Rong family was also betrothed to someone else.
As a result, Su Yi came back a few years later and quietly renewed his relationship with the eldest lady of the Rong family. The two made an appointment to meet at Jialong Temple, planning to elope together while the family was not paying attention.
If that was all, then what Zhang Yue probably heard was just a very bloody love story.
But there are other things mixed in with this story.
Su Yi was originally just a mortal who had never practiced martial arts, but after returning to Changling a few years later, he turned out to be a rare master.
Precisely because Su Yi became a grandmaster, the eldest daughter of the Rong family immediately returned to his arms. After all, such a young grandmaster has an unlimited future.
Zhang Yue was very curious. If Su Yi was really a master, then he could easily establish a powerful family in Changling and become a wealthy family directly.
But why do you still want to elope with the eldest lady of the Rong family?
Later, Su Yi actually told the reason himself.
When this guy went out to escape, he unexpectedly entered a stone room after falling off a cliff, and obtained an evil magic technique from inside.
It can refine a person's flesh and blood into precious blood spirit crystals.
Relying on these blood spirit crystals, Su Yi's strength increased linearly.
Before leaving, he planned to carry out a big attack and refine everyone present into blood spirit crystals, so that he could have a chance to break through to a higher level.
