Li Xiuyuan looked at the dense crowd of innocent souls in the shadow, and after the shock in his heart faded, he was greeted by an inexplicable anger.
It is absolutely impossible for so many innocent souls to appear here for no reason, there must be a reason.
No matter what the reason is, it has to do with the Guanyin Temple.
If it is a normal temple, although there are tombs, there are absolutely no ghosts of grievances. Because the eminent monks in the temple will chant sutras to save the ghosts of grievances, the temple is the place least haunted by ghosts, unless the temple is in decline, the statues have collapsed, and the incense is no longer there.
Well, the gods can't manifest themselves, so it's another matter that the temple is occupied by demons and monsters.
But with such a prosperous incense like this Guanyin Temple, it is absolutely impossible for an innocent soul to appear.
Even so, if Guanyin appears, she will definitely save these innocent souls.
But if this situation occurs now, there is only one possibility.
There are demons and demons who use the name of Guanyin to deceive the people, hide evil and evil, and kill people.
Only in this way can we explain why there are so many innocent souls in the Guanyin Temple where the incense is so prosperous.
This was still in broad daylight. If it were at night, Li Xiuyuan felt that there were probably more innocent souls here than in the mass graves. This place was not a temple, it was simply a ghost land.
The thoughts in his mind were racing, and he made up his mind at this moment that he must check the situation inside the temple today.
If there is really an evil spirit here to harm people, Li Xiuyuan will definitely not let it go today.
"Young Master, what's so interesting about this life-release pond? There's just a group of small fishes there, so why not go somewhere else?" The guard was a little curious when he saw his young master staring at the life-release pond.
Following his gaze, he saw just a group of small fish gathering in the shadows, nothing special about them.
Li Xiuyuan suppressed everything in his heart, calmed down, looked away from the dense group of innocent souls, then looked at the nun and said: "Master, the Guanyin Temple should be more than this big, why are there only these few buildings?
Is there some place that I can't open for us to see? When I first came to Hua County, I heard someone say that the Guanyin Temple is worth visiting. Could you please go somewhere else?"
The nun's expression changed and she said with a smile: "Master, I misunderstood. Please tell the truth to me, this Guanyin Temple is indeed not that big. There is a garden behind it and a Buddhist hall inside. But that does not belong to the temple, it belongs to someone else."
It was only built with money to facilitate the worship of Buddha, so it is based on the Guanyin Temple. If you want to visit there, the nun needs to ask the owner there for instructions."
Li Xiuyuan immediately gave a salute and said: "Then I will ask the Master to ask the owner of the place for me."
"Easy to say, easy to say." The nun said with a smile: "But it will take a while. Master, why don't you go to the meditation room to sit for a while, and wait for the poor nun to ask the owner there before giving you an answer."
"Thank you, Master." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
The nun took Li Xiuyuan to a Zen room, signaled the others to wait a moment, and then left.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, and after the nun left, he looked at the meditation room again.
It is indeed like an ordinary temple. The Zen room is simple and simple. There is nothing worth paying attention to. It is only suitable for pure practice. Even living in it is a bit inconvenient. It seems that this is indeed a serious place to become a monk.
But in this place where everything seems normal, the life-release pond is actually filled with innocent souls.
Recalling the previous situation, Li Xiuyuan's heart sank.
But how long had the nun left? At this time, another little nun came in holding tea with her head lowered. Without saying a word, she just brought the tea, lit the incense in the incense burner and left.
"Thank you so much, little master." Li Xiuyuan said politely out of etiquette.
The little nun paused, raised her head slightly and glanced at Li Xiuyuan, with a smile on her face and seemed a little happy.
But after the little nun left the meditation room, Li Xiuyuan couldn't see that the little nun still had a smile on her face. This smile seemed to have become a normal expression. At first glance, it made people feel happy, but after looking at it for a long time,
Afterwards, it made people feel a little frightened.
"It's too rare for someone to become a nun at such a young age." The guard muttered.
Another guard next to him said: "Maybe he is an orphan. In the past ten years, more and more people have become monks."
"Be prepared to stay up late tonight. There is something weird in this temple. If I can't find out the reason during the day, I will continue to investigate at night." Li Xiuyuan suddenly said.
"Young Master, is there anything weird in this temple? Why didn't you see it?" the guard said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course you can't see the weirdness in this temple with your naked eyes, but you should be able to spot some. Don't you think this statue of Guanyin is too luxurious? The three-foot-tall statue is too luxurious.
All the gods are made of gold, silver and copper. The people in Hua County live in poverty and are not wealthy. It would cost many families to build such a statue of gods. Even if our Li family wants to cast such a statue of gods, at least
It will also cost one hundred thousand taels of silver...and that’s just counting the statues, not the others.”
"Young Master, are you saying that the statue is made of gold and silver?" When the two guards heard this, their eyes suddenly gleamed: "With such luxury, you are not afraid of being robbed."
"If we could attract thieves, we would have already done so. How can we easily get the things belonging to ghosts and gods? We will be punished." Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly.
He did not believe that there were no ghosts and gods entrenched in this Guanyin Temple.
When the two guards heard this, they were immediately discouraged.
This white money is placed in front of your eyes. If you kneel down and worship it every day, anyone who calls it will be moved.
"Hey, what smells so good?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly said softly.
"It was the little nun who lit the incense just now," the guard said.
Li Xiuyuan smelled it again, and immediately frowned and said: "It's not incense, it contains the smell of musk. I have smelled it in the medicine storehouse at home. How can a small Buddhist temple be so luxurious to light such spices?"
It seems that they are treating us as distinguished guests, but if they treat us so generously, they may have some ulterior motive."
After saying that, he looked at the simple Zen room again. Sure enough, it was all superficial. It should be noted that this piece of musk alone is worth several taels of silver.
"Young master, would you like me to go around the temple and see what's going on?" the guard said in a low voice.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said: "No, you can't find out why. Even if you find clues, you can't tell them with your eyes."
The two guards responded and stopped thinking.
Li Xiuyuan was afraid that there would be some demons and monsters in the temple that would harm them too.
Therefore, guarding oneself is not only protecting oneself, but one is also protecting them.
After sitting quietly for a while.
Suddenly, the two guards seemed to have discovered something, and shouted: "Who is it?"
There seemed to be a sneaky figure flashing near the window, and two guards immediately rushed out, trying to catch the figure.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, and he felt something was wrong. He immediately sat down impatiently and stood up to walk over and take a look.
"Young Master, please wait. The poor nun is here." At this time, the voice of the nun from before sounded outside the door.
Li Xiuyuan stopped for a moment, and then saw a woman wearing plain clothes walking in.
However, this woman's dress was completely different from before.
The woman before was wearing plain clothes and a cloth hat, looking like a nun.
But now she no longer wears a cloth hat, but wears her hair in a woman's bun. Although she is dressed in plain clothes, her clothes are open, revealing her pink bellyband. She is dressed frivolously, and her face is also painted with light makeup.
Looking again, I saw a nun who followed strict rules and regulations, but she was just a beautiful, mature and charming woman in plain clothes.
Under such a huge contrast, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This gorgeous woman entered the meditation room with a smile, but closed the door behind her back, and the room suddenly became much darker.
"Master Tai, what are you doing?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice.
"Young master, you still call me your master's wife? Could it be that when you see me wearing plain clothes, you really think I am a monk?"
The beautiful woman smiled and said: "When I see that the young master is so majestic and handsome, my heart has already been secretly promised to you. I would like to recommend you a pillow and have fun with the young master."
After saying that, he stepped forward and twisted his waist to meet him.
"It seems that the master didn't go to visit the owner there for me, but went to dress up." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
"Master, don't you like the way the slaves are dressed?" The gorgeous woman took off her plain clothes, revealing her fair skin, with a charming smile on her face.
Li Xiuyuan was unmoved in his heart, but he felt that the energy and blood in his body were boiling, as if fire was rising. Suddenly he looked at the green smoke rising from the copper furnace next to him, and immediately recalled some pharmacological knowledge he had learned before.
Musk has aphrodisiac properties.
"I see, I said, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Just go out and a beautiful woman will throw herself into your arms."
Li Xiuyuan smiled coldly: "It turns out that I have been targeted for a long time, and I have set a trap here."
"Young master, what are you talking about? The slave family doesn't understand anything. I just hope that the master will not let down the slave family today."
This beautiful woman said with a bit of pleading, and her expression could really make even a hard-hearted man's heart flutter.
And as he spoke, he actively leaned towards Li Xiuyuan.
"What do you mean? You are just approaching me with a purpose. Don't show off your beauty in front of me. This little trick is of no use to me." Li Xiuyuan took a slight breath, and the blood and energy in his body immediately calmed down.
He is a master of martial arts. It is the most basic thing for a martial artist to transport Qi and blood and mobilize Qi.
As long as there are no evil thoughts in your mind, you will not be controlled by your body's instincts.
He immediately pushed the woman away and quickly left the meditation room.
But when he opened the door, he found that the door of the meditation room was locked, and there was the sound of a copper lock shaking outside.
Sure enough, he came prepared.
"snort."
Li Xiuyuan groaned heavily, and with a sudden force on his palm, the wooden door in front of him exploded with a bang.
