Although Qianming Temple occupies the top of a mountain, it is not very big. Even the mountain is only a hundred feet long. As for the temple, you can see the end of it at a glance.
Perhaps because it was too early in the morning, there were no pilgrims at this time, which made Mu Yi and his party seem a bit out of the ordinary.
"It turns out to be Donor Xu. I wonder if he's here this time?"
Perhaps after receiving a report, a middle-aged monk hurried out soon. His eyes swept over Mu Yi and others, and finally fell on Xu Hui, because among these people, he only knew Xu Hui, but Xu Hui could not be seen.
When he returned to where he was standing, he knew that his status was the lowest among this group of people.
Seeing this, the middle-aged monk had some bad premonitions in his heart. Although Qianming Temple was barely considered a remote place, he still had to be cautious when facing some powerful people.
"I've met Master Chen. Where is the abbot of this temple? This time Xu accompanied a nobleman on a special trip to see the abbot." Xu Hui said immediately, and at the same time winked at the middle-aged monk, which meant that a big shot was here.
He received me well.
"It turns out we are an honored guest. I'm rude to you. I hope your guest won't be offended." After hearing Xu Hui's words, Liao Chen said to Mu Yi. After all, according to where he stood, Mu Yi was undoubtedly the most distinguished one.
Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, his aura could not be deceived.
"It's okay. Speaking of which, it's better for me to take the liberty of visiting you." Mu Yi said.
"Dear guest, please." Seeing that Mu Yi's attitude did not look like he was looking for trouble, Liao Chen felt relieved and then led Mu Yi and others into the temple.
As soon as he entered the gate of the temple, Mu Yi looked up at the small bells hanging under the eaves. They had exactly the same pattern and size, and were all hung in the corridors and corners, surrounding the buildings everywhere.
"Master Liaochen, I think this little clock has been hanging for several years, right?" Mu Yi suddenly asked.
"Xiao Zhong?" Liao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Mu Yi was talking about. After all, he has been used to it after living here for so many years. Therefore, his feelings are not as clear as those of outsiders.
Although he didn't understand why Mu Yi was curious about this, Liao Chen still pondered for a moment and said, "This bell must be at least several decades old. This little bell has been there since I entered Qianming Temple. No one can say for how long."
It’s clear, but despite its age, this little clock is not worth much, it’s just for viewing.”
"Decades?" Mu Yi pondered in his mind and carefully looked at the traces of the surrounding buildings. This did not seem like a lie. Even after the Qianming Temple was established, there were already these small bells. In fact, the reason why this temple exists is
Maybe it's because of these small clocks.
However, Mu Yi observed with the power of his mind and did not find anything magical about the little bell. Even when the power of his mind spread, he did not feel any difference. It seemed that as the other party said, the little bell was just for viewing.
"Has the director of Qianming Temple been there since the temple was first built?" Mu Yi asked another question.
"Senior brother Liao Fan became the host five years ago." Liao Chen replied.
"Five years ago? Earthquake? Fierce ghost?" Mu Yi immediately connected all of this. If there is no relationship between them, it is obviously impossible. Maybe he will know the answer when he meets the other party.
"What about the previous generation of hosts?" Mu Yi asked.
"Amitabha, Master has passed away." Liao Chen said sadly.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I heard something before. I don't know if it's true or not. I would like to ask Master to clear up my doubts." Mu Yi stared at Chen and said slowly.
"I once heard that there was a fierce ghost haunting Qianming Temple five years ago." As soon as Mu Yi finished speaking, he saw Chen's expression change drastically.
"Your distinguished guest must have heard wrongly. Our temple has never been haunted by ghosts." Liao Chen shook his head and said.
"Really? Whether it has been haunted or not, it's hard to tell based on Master Chen's words. With so many people in Qianming Temple, I think someone should know what happened five years ago, right?" Mu Yi looked at Chen seriously. In fact,
, he already knew the answer from the other party's expression.
The current pressure is just to know more.
As the disciple of the previous leader, the other party must be one of the core members of Qianming Temple and must know what happened five years ago.
Of course, even if he couldn't get the answer from him, Mu Yi didn't care. As he just said, with so many people in Qianming Temple, someone would always bring the answer to him. To put it bluntly, he came here to take advantage of the situation.
, taking advantage of Yan Li's power, I believe that Qianming Temple cannot resist what the magistrate wants to know.
This is power, the power that belongs to Yan Li.
"Master, if you know something, it's better to tell the truth. By the way, my surname is Ding, and I am in charge of the prefect's Yamen. I am here under the order of the prefect to help the Taoist master know everything he wants to know." At this time, all the time.
The prefect who was following behind took a step forward and handed out a sign.
When Dang Chen saw this sign, a hint of bitterness appeared in the corner of his mouth, and he knew that this matter was no longer something he could stop.
"The poor monk doesn't know much about what happened back then. If you really want to know, please follow the poor monk to see the presiding brother. Maybe you can get the answer you want from the senior brother." Liao Chen finally said.
"Okay." Mu Yi took a deep look at the other person and nodded.
Then, Liao Chen took Mu Yi and others to the backyard. Along the way, Mu Yi saw many monks, most of whom were young. People like Liao Chen were already relatively old.
Xu Caiwei didn't say anything along the way. Originally, she was already married and shouldn't show her face anymore, but this matter was of great importance and she felt uneasy if she didn't come. However, she still wore a gauze scarf on her face, revealing only a pair of trousers.
The eyes of the human soul.
"Everyone, wait here for a moment. The poor monk goes in and talks to the senior brother." After arriving at a small courtyard, Liao Chen said to Mu Yi and others.
"Okay." Mu Yi nodded. He naturally knew that the other party wanted to tell the senior brother their intention of coming in advance. As for whether they would meet or not, Mu Yi never doubted it.
Liao Chen entered the room only for half a stick of incense before he walked out, "Senior brother said that the distinguished guest wanted to know the truth about that year, so he asked someone to come in."
"Bold." After listening to Chen's words, Manager Ding was furious. He didn't seem to think that he had already revealed his identity and the other party dared to neglect him. He was here on behalf of the prefect. Before coming, the prefect told him repeatedly.
, everything he saw and heard during this trip must be reported truthfully. If he can't go in, how will he explain it to the prefect?
"It's not that I'm a bold monk, it's just that the events back then were too involved and one mistake could lead to a big disaster, so I ask for your forgiveness." Liao Chen did not back down, but explained seriously.
"Okay, I'll go in alone, you guys wait here."
Manager Ding obviously wanted to say something else, but after being stopped by Mu Yi, he had no choice but to retreat unwillingly, because the prefect still had an order to obey Taoist Mu Yi's words, so after Mu Yi said it, he
No matter how unwilling you are, you can only retreat.
Afterwards, Mu Yi entered the room alone. The room was lit with sandalwood, which shocked people's spirits. After Mu Yi entered the room, he looked directly at a monk sitting there.
After seeing the other party, Mu Yi was stunned, because the other party was much younger than Luo Chen just now, only in his twenties. Xu Hui did not explain this. In fact, Mu Yi did not ask.
Although the host was only in his twenties, there was a kind of calmness about him, a kind of precipitation after years of baptism, and there was a sense of wisdom in his eyes. At the same time, Mu Yi also felt a trace of wisdom in him.
The threat, the other party, is also a practitioner.
The path may be different, but there is no doubt about the identity.
While Mu Yi was sizing up the other party, the other party was also sizing him up. Perhaps Liao Chen had explained Mu Yi's appearance to him before, so the other party didn't look too surprised. He just gestured to Mu Yi and asked him to stand on the opposite side.
sit down.
"Your distinguished guest would like to know about the accident five years ago?" Liao Fan asked directly.
"Yes, more than a year ago, Magistrate Yan's beloved daughter was possessed by a ghost, and before she was possessed, she had visited Qianming Temple," Mu Yi said.
After listening to Mu Yi's words, Liao Fan was silent for a moment and then said: "Actually, the poor monk knows something about the daughter of Yan Zhifu, and he also went there secretly. However, the ghost is so powerful that the poor monk is far from his opponent. He can only
He was wounded and fled, and the truth was as expected by the distinguished guest. The cause of all this was from our temple, so the poor monk has always felt guilty about this matter."
"Is it just that? If Magistrate Yan knows the truth, what do you think the master will do?" Mu Yi asked.
"Qianming Temple was destroyed and a hundred miles around turned into a ghostland." Liao Fan said with a solemn expression.
"Ghost Realm? Master, are you exaggerating too much?" Mu Yi stared at Fan, but the other person looked calm.
"I guess your guest has come into contact with that ghost, right? I wonder what your guest thinks of her?" Liao Fan asked.
"The strength is very strong. Even when I was in my prime, I would not dare to defeat him easily." Mu Yi thought for a moment and said, although his strength has greatly increased now, and he has Nanming Lihuo, the ghost has not returned to its prime.
"What if the poor monk told the donor that the ghost was just a ghost?" Liao Fan said word by word.
"Impossible?" Mu Yi, who had always remained calm, finally couldn't help but lose his composure. The main reason was that Liao Fan's words were too shocking. Such a powerful ghost was just a trace of a ghost? How could this be possible? If she were in full condition, what would she have done?
How powerful?
The peak of fierce ghosts? No, ghost king!
It is precisely because of this speculation that Mu Yi cannot believe that the Ghost King is a terrifying existence that is superior to fierce ghosts. It is equivalent to the third most difficult existence. I am afraid that Ning Wuque and other old monsters will not be able to believe it in front of the Ghost King.
Also as weak as a chicken.
If the other party is really the King of Ghosts, then what he just said about a hundred miles away being a ghost domain is not only not a joke, but the truth.
The destruction of Qianming Temple is tantamount to disaster. Could it be that there is a ghost king suppressing under Qianming Temple? As for Yan Qing, is it just a fragment of the soul that the other party escaped?
Mu Yi's heart was beating violently. (To be continued)
