The ancient martial arts master traveled through time
Chapter 246 The Abbot's Plan
The moonlight, like water, sprinkled across the quiet courtyard of the ancient temple. Abbot Huikong and Abbot Xuantong stood side by side, their expressions solemn.
The barrier in front of him emitted a faint and flickering light, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
"This barrier is seriously damaged! If it is not repaired and reinforced in time, thousands of ghosts will come out and the consequences will be unimaginable." Abbot Huikong frowned, his eyes full of worry.
Abbot Xuantong nodded slightly, staring at the barrier, and said slowly: "Indeed, but repairing the barrier here is not an easy task, and we need to plan carefully."
The two were silent for a moment, and began to discuss every detail in a low voice, "This is the door of life, and also the door of death. It must be stabilized with a sacrifice." After listening to Master Xuantong's analysis, Huikong felt that this matter was a bit tricky.
Suddenly, Abbot Huikong looked up at the night sky, where the stars were twinkling. He murmured, "Three days from now, at midnight, the Buddha Star will appear. It's also the time when it's at its most powerful. Perhaps there will be a turning point. With the help of that powerful Buddha power, repairing the barrier will be much easier, but..."
Abbot Xuantong's eyes lit up, "But what?"
"You are right. We need to sacrifice someone with a Holy Light Body to ensure the reinforcement is successful."
Xuan Tong was silent. "You mean those people? I know, but we are Buddhists. We must not take people's lives at will."
But this is a golden opportunity, and we must not miss it! Otherwise, this continent will be engulfed by countless ghosts, and only then will there be real devastation for all living beings."
"That's why it's a bit tricky to reinforce the barrier here." Huikong said.
"When that person set up the barrier, he already explained its advantages and disadvantages. I didn't expect the disadvantages to appear so soon."
"Perhaps it's because we've liberated too many souls over the years, causing dissatisfaction in the underworld, that's why it's become like this!"
As the night deepened, the two men finished their discussion, but they couldn't find a solution that satisfied both parties. They looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
Their steps back to the room became heavy, as they knew that time was running out and the next three days would be the key to the decision.
On the second day, the young monk brought breakfast to a few people. After a simple meal, he was called to the abbot.
The abbot looked at the group and pointed to the seat next to him, inviting them to sit down. "After so many years, I never thought that the little kid from back then has grown up so much!"
After hearing the abbot's inexplicable words, Ruan Xiaojiu said nothing, and Ruan Siqi and the others did not respond either.
Seeing this, the abbot said to Ruan Xiaojiu, "We met when you were three years old. At that time, you lacked love and were emotionally indifferent. Your parents and grandfather knew about this."
When Ruan Siqi heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had heard his elder brother and father talk about this matter. It turned out that it was the high monk his father mentioned. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ruan Siqi immediately clasped his hands together and said.
Xiao Zeming was confused, and Ye Tingshen also looked puzzled.
Ruan Xiaojiu rolled his eyes left and right without saying anything.
The abbot nodded, it was actually this old monk.
"I wonder if the abbot wants us to come here for something?" Ruan Siqi asked.
When asked this, the abbot sighed and said, "Several of you have a connection with our Buddhist sect. Now there is a problem with the barrier between our Buddha and the underworld. I hope you can help me."
He thought about it for half the night and decided to find out what they meant.
"I don't know how we can help. We don't know how to repair any barriers." Ye Ting said with a deep frown.
The abbot looked at Ye Tingshen with a slightly deep look in his eyes. Although this person was also a holy light body, he had killed too many people in his life, and it must not be easy for him to stay here. After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea in his mind. Perhaps the person who was sacrificed had one.
The abbot coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "Donor Ye, you don't know that the barrier here is very serious. Repairing it requires a sacrifice.
After these words were spoken, not only did Ye Tingshen frown, but even Xiao Zeming had a bad feeling.
"Old monk, what do you mean by this?" Ruan Xiaojiu's face darkened. No wonder they were asked to come here. It turned out that they were sent to die.
"Don't be angry, lady donor. This barrier is a little special. It connects to the underworld. If something goes wrong, the human world will be occupied by ghosts and monsters, bringing disaster to the people."
"What does it have to do with us?" Ruan Xiaojiu said in a very firm tone.
"This Night Patron has committed countless murders throughout his life. Although he possesses a Holy Light Body, he also carries numerous karmic obstacles. Sacrifice is a form of redemption for him. Firstly, it can repair the barrier and save the people. Secondly, it is also a good deed for him personally."
Ye Tingshen remained silent, but Xiao Zeming could no longer sit still. "You're talking nonsense! Although every man has his share of responsibility, why should we be held responsible? You destroyed the barrier, so you should figure out how to do it yourself. Why are you coming to us?"
The abbot ignored Xiao Zeming and said to Ye Tingshen, "You have devoted yourself to the great cause of repairing the barrier. Perhaps your past sins can be wiped out. Otherwise, even if you die and enter the underworld, you will suffer the punishment of hell."
Ruan Siqi asked, "You said he killed too many people, but I've been on the battlefield too, so doesn't that mean he killed too many people?"
I don't know much about this matter, but I noticed that there was a black aura around Donor Ye, but you didn't.
Ye Tingshen was stunned at first, then sneered: "So he is the only sinner? He wants me to die and yet he speaks so righteously."
Ruan Siqi saw the veins bulging on Ye Tingshen's forehead and hurriedly said, "Abbot, there must be other ways. We can't just let people be sacrificed so easily, don't you think?"
The abbot shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, this is the most feasible method at the moment."
