I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 717 Going down the mountain
The inner temple of Tianquan Temple.

In the abbot's meditation room, a dim light is on. In the quiet temple, there are wafts of sandalwood. Compared to the daytime, the temple now has a more Zen atmosphere. Under the purple moonlight, subtle sounds can be heard.

As the host spoke, a piece of history that was submerged in the long river of time slowly unfolded before Chengguang's eyes like a scroll.

"Our world has already experienced a complete annihilation. There are no gods, Buddhas, demons or monsters in the world. Everything has returned to silence. The so-called supernatural and mysterious things no longer exist until that man appears!"

"He was born extraordinary. Some say he is the reincarnation of a being from another world. Legend has it that on the day of his birth, the sky and earth changed color, and the sun and moon merged into one. Afterwards, this person devoted himself to seeking the truth, hoping to achieve enlightenment. However, the foundation of the extraordinary no longer exists in this world, and immortals and Buddhas have disappeared. No matter how talented he is, it is useless. But how can an extraordinary person be judged by common sense?"

"Because it was the Dharma Ending Age, he began by cultivating his physical body into a peerless martial art. It's no exaggeration to say he was unrivaled. He then traveled to famous mountains and sought blessed lands, gathering the wisdom of the ancient texts. Finally, he gathered all this into himself, and surprisingly, he actually discovered something."

Upon hearing this, Chengguang quickly asked, "What did he discover?"

"A door!" The host sighed. "He dug this door out from nowhere and used his own unique method to communicate with an unknown great being. And so... a strange monster descended!"

"So, that door is the root of everything? Is there no one who can close it?" Chengguang continued to ask.

The presiding master shook his head and said, "After that person opened the door, our Tianquan Temple's founder and several other ancestors tried their best and finally closed it. However, the impact was far-reaching. To this day, strange and bizarre creatures continue to appear, and the world has become distorted. I don't know when this will end."

"So what happened to that man later?"

The presiding master fiddled with the rosary in his hand and said quietly, "Perhaps he fulfilled his wish for eternal life. Perhaps he died when the door opened. Or perhaps he lies dormant somewhere. Can he bear the resentment of a world? But you must know that when he opened the door, he also pleased someone and must have received some kind of reward. Otherwise, he wouldn't be recorded in our Tianquan Temple's secret scroll."

"So, where is that door now?"

"No one knows, and I don't know either. The Black Jade Relic is the temple's most precious treasure. It's said that it contains a huge secret. Nine years ago, the Black Jade Relic's poor storage caused unrest, and Senior Brother Shan Guang had no choice but to use a new method to contain it. This time, the initiation ceremony went awry, and now the Black Jade Relic and Donor Wang have disappeared. Although I have issued a gag order, there is no such thing as a wall that can't be penetrated. I don't know how many people are secretly watching us, and I don't know how long I can keep it secret. Although we at Tianquan Temple have always been cautious and indifferent to right and wrong, there are still many people who covet us. Moreover, Donor Wang has been acting quite independently in recent years and has made many enemies. I think someone will test us in a few days. The most urgent thing is to find the Black Jade Relic and Donor Wang, otherwise the entire spiritual world will be in great trouble. Chengguang, since this matter is caused by you, you should go down the mountain. As fate dictates, karma comes and goes, and cause and effect go on in a cycle. I believe this matter will be resolved because of you, too."

A full moon was in the sky, and the cold wind blew in the middle of the night, making passers-by involuntarily tighten their shirts.

A thin figure was walking quickly, holding a bowl in his hand and dressed like a monk.

"Master Master, you're right. The Wang family's businesses are being disrupted one after another. It seems something's at work. Given my friend's personality, he wouldn't tolerate such humiliation. It seems he's truly tied up. Could the Black Jade Relic be so powerful?"

He muttered to himself but did not stop. At this moment, a gentle man wearing glasses walked past him.

The young monk paused and turned to look. He saw the man walking briskly. Although his expression was calm, he was walking very fast. It seemed that he was in a hurry. "Sir, please stay."

The man paused for a moment after hearing the voice, then turned around and saw a young monk in front of him. He asked, "I wonder if this master has any advice for me?"

The monk laughed and said, "Donor, I see your forehead is black, and there is a yin energy around your body. I think you will have a bloody disaster soon."

The man frowned upon hearing the sound and looked the monk up and down. He saw that the monk had a delicate and handsome face, but was quite young, with an elegant demeanor and conversation. So he suppressed his anger and said, "Little monk, don't joke around. If you have something to say, just say it. If you want to make an alms, I'll give you some money for the incense offerings. There's no need to scare me with such words."

The monk shook his head and said, "Monks do not tell lies. Everything I said is true."

"Hmph, nonsense! If you weren't a monk, I would let you see if my fist is vegetarian!!" The man spat heavily, then turned and left.

Seeing this, the young monk sighed, shook his head, and continued to move forward. However, after walking seven or eight steps, he suddenly turned around and disappeared into the night, as if he had thought of something.

A moment later, the man with glasses came to a dead end. This was a blind spot for the camera. Not many people would pass by here on weekdays, and it was even more desolate at night. Even the street lights at the intersection were broken.

But the man with glasses strode forward without hesitation and plunged into the alley.

A moment later, the young monk also arrived at the entrance of the alley. He looked inside and found that the alley was a dead end with no way out. The walls on both sides were also high and it was not possible for an ordinary person to climb over them without the help of tools.

This monk was naturally Chengguang. After being taught the secret by the master, he was also sent down the mountain to look for the black jade relic and Wang Siyuan.

The first strange person I met after arriving in H City was this person. According to the master, this disaster was caused by him, so naturally there would be entanglement of qi, so he was sent down the mountain.

The aimless Chengguang would naturally not let go of any strange person, so he noticed the man with glasses. Sure enough, he discovered him immediately.

Chengguang looked towards the back of the alley. No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary little alley, and he felt a little strange.

"How could it disappear?" Chengguang muttered to himself, using the secret method of Tianquan Temple. He wiped his hands in front of his eyes, opened his eyes again, and found that everything was still normal.

This is exactly the most abnormal thing!
