Infinite cycle of the heavens

Chapter 29 Bing Suppresses Jingnian Temple

The Zhike monk led the two of them through many monk houses, and came to a majestic Buddhist hall comparable to the nine-five dragon court, and said: "Two benefactors, please wait here for a while, and the young monk will report to preside over it."

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, looking at the environment of the Buddhist monastery.

"Young Master Ling, have you ever seen such a large-scale monastery? It's hundreds of feet from the entrance to here. If you count it all, this monastery is definitely not smaller than the imperial palace in Luoyang." Kou Zhong whispered.

"There are so many monks' houses and Buddhist halls, it's like a small city." Xu Ziling also echoed.

"Just looking at the size of the monastery, one can imagine that the presiding abbot is definitely not a simple person." Kou Zhong said.

"Didn't you notice that the few monks we met when we came in all possessed martial arts, and they were at least at the level of the master and rudder master in the Jianghu, but here, they are just the most ordinary monks. Just think about it." , it makes people's scalp go numb." Xu Ziling said with emotion.

"If I were the successor of Cihang Jingzhai, I would definitely put Heshibi here. Ha, there is no place in Luoyang that is safer than here. I understand, no wonder the successor of Cihang Jingzhai would choose Mingjun in Luoyang. Kou Zhong exclaimed in a low voice.

The two looked at each other, and both could see the horror in the other's eyes.

After a while, the Zhike monk came out and said: "The host has promised to see you, please come in, two benefactors."

The two of them entered the main hall and saw Monk Kong and the Four Great Temple Guardians. In their imagination, the presiding officer of Jingnian Temple should be an old monk with a white beard and kind eyebrows. It is very different from what they imagined.

Monk Liao Kong looked only in his thirties, with a handsome appearance and fair skin. Compared to the highly respected abbot of the Buddhist monastery, he looked more like a suave young nobleman.

"These monks are not fooling us, are they?" The two looked at each other, and they could see what was in each other's mind.

Beside Monk Liaokong, there were four Dharma Guardian Vajras, some were tall, some were short, some were fat and some were thin, but all of them looked stern, with a cold light in their eyes.

The two will explain their intentions.

After listening to it, there was no change in expression, just a light knock on the bronze bell.

A tall and thin King Kong who protects the temple said: "The poor monk is the first of the four guardians of the temple. The abbot has practiced closed mouth meditation for more than 40 years. I already know the purpose of the two visits, and let me tell you that He Shibi is not in this temple, the two benefactors, please go back."

The two couldn't help but peek at each other.

……

Imperial City.

Yang Tong asked eagerly: "You two lovers, can you get back the jade seal?"

Xu Ziling glanced at Kou Zhong, who said: "My Majesty, I have already asked Master Liao Kong of Jingnian Temple, and they said that He Shibi is not in the Temple."

Yang Tong said disappointedly: "Not in the Buddhist monastery..."

At this time, Wang Shichong stood up and said, "Not everything the monk said may be credible, you two can find out whether He Shibi is really not in the Buddhist monastery?"

Xu Ziling said, "Probably not here."

"should?"

Dugufeng looked at the two of them angrily, and shouted loudly: "If you are here, you are here, if you are not, you are not here. The emperor sent you to do things, and you did it like this. You came back without even finding out the truth of the matter. You have failed the emperor." Holy Grace, what use are you to have?"

Hearing what the two of them said, Yang Tong felt lucky, and reconfirmed, "Is He Shibi in the Buddhist monastery?"

"exist."

Before Xu Ziling could speak, Kou Zhong replied loudly. "It's just that there are so many masters in the Jingnian Temple, and the ministers dare not act rashly, lest they will startle the snake, so they rushed back first to return to their orders."

He secretly paid in his heart, if we say we are not here, these two old foxes will probably let us continue to look for Yuxi, but where can we find this thing?

What do you do now?

Dugufeng and Wang Shichong looked at each other, and the two old foxes immediately reached an agreement. The former said: "Your Majesty, since He Shibi's whereabouts have been confirmed, we must take it back no matter what. Jingnian Temple is a famous sect in the martial arts world." , this is a matter of martial arts, it is only appropriate for the Taifu to come forward to collude."

Wang Shichong also said: "What Commander Dugu said is right, Tai Tuo is the number one master of martial arts, if he comes forward, he will surely succeed."

Yang Tong looked at Su Quan expectantly, and said, "What do you think the Grand Tutor wants?"

Su Quan spit out a word lightly: "Okay!"

……

The eastern suburbs of Luoyang.

Ten thousand elite soldiers surrounded the Jingnian Temple, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and their momentum was shattered.

Su Quan stood in front of the main entrance of Jingnian Temple like a goddess of ice, with a stern expression, and a terrifying light in his eyes. His gaze seemed to pass through the layers of buildings, looking at the huge Buddhist hall in the center of the temple.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong followed Su Quan with uneasy expressions on their faces. After hesitating for a while, Xu Ziling whispered: "Master, I have something to tell you. We don't know if He Shibi is real or not." In the monastery. Young Master Zhong and I lied, master, please punish us."

Kou Zhong was also full of shame and anxiety.

"I've already guessed it." Su Quan said calmly, without any fluctuation in mood, as if he knew about it a long time ago.

"What!" Kou Zhong was surprised.

"Since the master has already guessed this matter, why come here?" Xu Ziling was very puzzled.

Su Quan looked at the two of them and said, "You have been inside before, what do you think of the size of this monastery?"

"This is the biggest temple Xiao Zhong has ever seen."

"Magnificent scale."

The two replied.

Su Quan asked: "If this Buddhist monastery is replaced by food, how many people can it support?"

"This one……"

Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Xiao Zhong doesn't know much about this matter, but thinking about it, it's enough to feed at least 10 people for a year."

Su Quan said again: "Do you know how many people starve to death every year?"

Xu Ziling immediately understood what Su Quan meant, and said dumbfounded: "Master, you want to tear down the Buddhist monastery, sell the money, and exchange it for food..."

Su Quan said calmly: "Not bad!"

Xu Ziling showed hesitation, and said: "But, this Buddhist temple belongs to the Jingnian Zen sect, so it's not good for us to do this..."

Su Quan asked, "Have you ever seen monks farming?"

The two shook their heads.

Su Quan asked again: "Have you ever seen monks working?"

The two shook their heads again.
