Lin Ji's figure fell to the ground and disappeared into the night, looking at the Xingye Temple standing in the sky from a distance.
It was past midnight, but the temple was so splendid that Lin Ji couldn't open his eyes due to the reflection.
The hundreds of meters long pavement is paved with carefully polished marble, extending from the feet to the main entrance of the temple.
When I stepped on it, I felt a little oily.
Lin Ji bent down and touched the ground.
Look at your hands, they are spotless, but a little slippery.
"Wax on the marble pavement, huh."
On both sides of the marble pavement are some incomprehensible stone carvings, but they are all exquisitely crafted.
The stone carvings are inlaid with gold and silver, making them sparkle with jewels.
"It's just a temple, why is it like this?"
Lin Ji was a little hard to understand.
Even though Buddhism is very powerful in Victoria, why can a remote temple be so magnificent?
When he escaped from the Tantric Sakya Monastery, he had never seen Sakya Monastery being so extravagant.
With some doubts, Lin Ji slowly moved forward along the smooth road.
What surprised him was that on this short road of a few hundred meters, there were people going to Xingye Temple.
Each of these people was well-dressed and had a respectful look. They took three steps, knelt down and bowed nine steps, without daring to be perfunctory in the slightest.
One of them saw Lin Ji walking straight forward and yelled: "Which little kid with no eyes dares to be disrespectful in front of the temple? Where are your adults?!"
He was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and he had jade earrings on his earlobes, which was indescribably weird.
Lin Ji smiled, came to the middle-aged man, picked him up, and then dragged him on the road.
"You answer whatever I ask, and you will die if you just talk nonsense." Lin Ji said expressionlessly.
The fat man with big ears was stunned for a moment, and then he yelled: "I am a noble person appointed by the abbot. How dare you disrespect me? Where are your parents from? Let me see what kind of bastard you are. How dare you do this?"
So rude!"
"It's more than one sentence, you go to hell."
Lin Ji broke the middle-aged man's neck without hesitation, and then grabbed the young man next to him.
"Who are you this fat man?"
"I...I am his son." The young man was frightened.
"Answer whatever I ask you, or you will die, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" The young man nodded quickly.
Still have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Lin Jixiang picked up the young man in his hands like a corpse and dragged him forward.
"What are you doing here at this hour?"
"I...we are here to pay homage to the Buddha. Every three days we have to go to the Buddha to bow three times and kowtow nine times, and to offer sacrifices."
"What kind of sacrifice?" Lin Ji asked again.
The young man did not dare to delay and said quickly: "Every time the sacrifice is different, we will give whatever the abbot says. This time it is a three-year-old boy and girl."
"Where are the people?" Lin Ji's tone was colder.
"Who?" The young man was still a little confused.
But when he saw Lin Ji's cold gaze, he was suddenly frightened.
"You...you mean those two little pigs...no, no, they are two children? They have been sent in. They are not worthy of taking this road and can only enter through the back door of the temple." The young man replied quickly.
Hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly remembered what Wu Nan had said before.
"What will happen to the child after he is sent in?" Lin Ji asked again, although he already had the answer in his heart.
The young man answered bravely: "Yes... I will be sacrificed to the Bodhisattva."
"How to worship?"
"Knock the skull and suck the brains out."
Lin Ji breathed a long sigh of relief and let go of his hand. The young man fell down on the road.
The young man was surprised for a moment. When he saw Lin Ji walking away without looking back, he felt like he was being pardoned and rolled away.
As for where to escape, Lin Ji didn't want to care and didn't bother to care.
If Tantra is not eradicated, it will be useless for him to care about this trivial matter.
If Tantric Buddhism is uprooted, these gangsters will not end well.
"If Buddha can be as famous as Tao, he will naturally not be so filthy."
Lin Ji murmured in a low voice.
"But just as there are always scum in Taoism, Buddhism is not one-minded."
"Now that I have read this, I feel that Wu Nan's words are clear, but what the Buddhist Tantra has done in Victoria is even more outrageous."
Lin Ji raised his head. He had reached the end of the road and stood in front of the main entrance steps of Xingye Temple.
"The so-called Buddha is just a group of people."
He slowly climbed the steps.
"When there are people, there are fights and there are factions."
"There is good and there is evil, it is difficult to generalize."
Lin Ji walked faster and faster.
The steps under his feet were inlaid with gems. He looked around and realized that the bright lights came from gems similar to fluorite, and the light of fluorite reflected other gold and silver treasures.
Shining brightly.
Lin Ji was speechless.
He suddenly figured it out.
"It's not that a remote temple should be so grand, but in the eyes of these monks, gold, silver and jewelry are probably not worth much at all. They might as well use them to decorate the facade."
"A full thousand years."
After knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow of the people of a state for thousands of years, this state of Victoria may have been completely squeezed out by Buddhism long ago.
Gold and silver treasure?
It's just something external.
The anger in Lin Ji's heart reached the extreme. He took a few steps faster and finally arrived in front of the Xingye Temple.
The two gatekeepers in front of the door looked solemn. After seeing Lin Ji, they scolded: "Why don't you bow three times and kowtow nine times when you see me?!"
What answered them was the sharpness of Lin Ji's Tiangang Sword.
The sword light flashed, and the two monks' heads were separated immediately.
Blood spattered three feet, and even Lin Ji's clothes were slightly stained.
But he didn't care at all, standing next to the corpses of the two monks, quietly looking at the pure gold plaque above his head.
Xingye Temple.
"I was originally asked to come to the temple to slaughter, but I was somewhat resistant."
"I thought that no matter how evil I am, I am still a human being. My sword is meant to fight demons and evil, not humans."
"But after leaving Jade City and arriving here, I didn't see anyone along the way."
"The only people who are worse off than alive are people who think they are pigs."
"Is there anything worse than these beasts?"
Thinking of this, Lin Ji even hated the imperial court a little. Why had these damn bald donkeys been allowed to be so domineering in Victoria for so many years?
Why didn't Supervisor Tiansi take action earlier?
During the moment of pause at the door of the temple, the situation in front of the door was discovered by the monks in the temple.
Soon a few more monks rushed out. When they saw Lin Ji's blood-stained sword edge and the corpse next to him, they didn't need to ask questions at all and shot directly at Lin Ji.
But the strongest of these people was only in the third realm, and Lin Ji was not willing to raise his eyebrows.
Several rays of sword light flashed by, and a few more corpses were added.
Lin Jize stopped staying, crossed the gate, and walked into Xingye Temple.
I grabbed a monk casually.
"Where is the place where you keep the sacrifices?"
The monk was frightened by Lin Ji and quickly showed the way.
Lin Ji rewarded him and then walked in the direction he pointed.
"These children must be saved."
This was the only thought in Lin Ji's mind at this moment.
