You rascal, stop right there!

The next day, early in the morning.

Ling Shumo stopped as soon as he returned to the abandoned courtyard of Shanhua Temple.

I knew someone was starting to make trouble again, and I was exhausted from worrying about it.

When Chen Xingyi and others held the map of Shanhua Temple and explained it to him in detail, he reluctantly pulled the quilt over them.

Bai Wan is a man who values friendship and loyalty, so since the dungeon has used his name, he will naturally do whatever he can and will not give himself any chance to slack off.

Asking him to sit aside and shout orders like a master, just to gain fame without doing any work and reap the benefits, is more painful than killing him.

"Let Abai have a good rest today. We still have a tough battle to fight."

Ling Shumo stared intently at the person on the bed, resting his head on the pillow, and couldn't help but reach out his hand.

Gathering people, digging soil, distributing porridge, and drawing maps overnight...

You think you are made of iron.

I have been negotiating everywhere these days and finally solved the problems of money, ships, and the negotiation and accommodation with old friends from the Qing Dynasty.

With so many people implementing such a big plan, they are simply risking their lives, and there are still many difficulties that have not been resolved.

Ling Shumo's fingertips gently touched the person's cheek, stroking it repeatedly, and then he applied medicine on his hands.

cough! cough!

Guo Yuanmin obviously couldn't stand seeing the two men being so intimate, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Brother Bai said there's a monk named Jueyuan in the underground city who used to be a monk at Shanhua Temple. He knows the structure of the temple and a lot of information about it. We can ask him."

Chen Xingyi sighed.

Ling Shumo thought thoughtfully: "Okay."

However, when they arrived at the underground city again, they were shocked by another shocking news.

"We've discovered another underground cave! A new cave!"

"how come!"

……

It turned out that the people in the underground city originally wanted to dig a passage near the north gate of Shanhua Temple to facilitate exit from the city, but they did not expect to dig directly into an intact cave.

In other words, there was originally an underground secret passage in Shanhua Temple.

This discovery made everyone happy, but also sad.

No one dared to go in and check.

After all, the monks of Shanhua Temple were more powerful than the soldiers defending the city. What if the elderly, weak, women and children were beaten to death?

Buddha is worse than officials!

People immediately started whispering.

Ling Shumo stood in front of the cave entrance, which was only half a person's height, and looked inside.

"Brother Ling, the lights are bright in here, and the stone walls are smooth. It looks like it's been here for a long time, and no one dares to enter!"

Wang Zhi looked at it carefully.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that everyone can stop the process, saving energy. The bad thing is that we don't know the environment inside or where the exit is.

If they were too far away from the north city gate, these Daqing people would still not be able to escape.

"I'll go in and take a look!" Ling Shumo took out the soft sword from his waist and said without hesitation.

"Let's go too!" Chen Xingyi and Guo Yuanmin also drew their swords and were about to step forward.

However, before they entered the secret passage, someone volunteered to carry the person over.

"Brother Zichen, wait! They have something to say."

As soon as Luo Wenqi's leg injury healed, he came over with his whole strong body and five bald men.

With his scholar-like face, no one who knows him would guess that he used to run a martial arts school and could fight people alone.

After asking, I found out that there was more than one monk expelled from Shanhua Temple.

All five of them were thrown out of the temple because their registered residence was from Daqing.

It was Jueyuan who took action again and stepped forward: "I have always suspected that there is a secret underground passage in the temple, but I didn't expect it to actually exist."

"What do you mean?" Ling Shumo asked in confusion.

Jueyuan suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, he hesitated and said, "There shouldn't be any warrior monks here. They're probably some shameful things that the temple has to offer."

Can't see anyone?

Indeed, Ling Shumo and the others decided to go in and take a look first, but they brought Jueyuan with them.

Wang Zhi and Guo Yuanmin maintained order outside to prevent everyone from panicking too much.

Ling Shumo, Chen Xingyi and Luo Wenqi, who were skilled in martial arts and had a tacit understanding with each other, went in to check it out in person.

As soon as you enter this secret room, you will see a prison cell.

The wooden strip was stained with blood, and the shocking scene left the three people stunned.

About ten girls, dressed in rags and with disheveled hair and dirty faces, were lying or sitting.

He was babbling something, but I couldn't tell what he was saying.

They looked clearly confused and their legs and feet were weak.

Jueyuan closed his eyes and said, "These are girls around sixteen years old. They are kept here and fed with large amounts of opium, ready to be skinned at any time."

Take the skin?

"It's... they cut off the tongue, pierce the ears, and then when the girls are sixteen, they peel off their skin and make human-skin drums. They're used for sacrifices."

So cruel...

It is even more outrageous than the sheep-leading ceremony and the dancing and singing ceremony at the archery banquet!

Looking at the girl so close to him, Ling Shumo's sword was shaking so much that he could hardly hold it.

But before they could curse, the next cell refreshed their senses.

There was no girl in the second stone cell.

But, there are human bones!!

They were probably dead people. In the light of the fire, one could see many skulls and half-bodies.

"This should be the material for making robes, horns, and prayer beads." Jueyuan sighed.

"Hey, what did you say? A cassock and rosary!"

Luo Wenqi thought he had heard it wrong. What a cruel and inhumane behavior.

Is this still Buddhism?

"Haha!" Jueyuan sneered, "The robes of the abbot of Shanhua Temple, Monk Puen, are made of more than 400 brow bones."

"And his rosary required 108 skulls to make."

So evil, perverted and cruel!

Several people thought they had seen the massacre of Xuanli’s army and royal family, but they didn’t expect that Xuanli’s Buddhism could be even more barbaric and brutal than the fall of Daying!

The underground stone prisons that followed, one after another, were so terrifying that people couldn't control themselves.

There are corpses everywhere, bones everywhere, human skin products everywhere, and human bone magic tools everywhere.

These scenes are really hard to imagine!

Xuanli actually regarded this religion as the state religion!

What’s even more outrageous is that most of the believers are ordinary poor people.

They willingly offered up girls, children, human bodies, and even human bones.

There were even pools of blood flowing in this underground secret room.

Jueyuan couldn't help but burst into tears, and the people around him also immediately closed their collars, held their breath, and seemed to be unable to stand steadily.

"We once stood beside a magnificent golden Buddha, chanting sutras to liberate ourselves from the cycle of suffering. Now we only see ritual objects made of human bones, and some offering their children. We never imagined this would be a living hell!"
