1334. Chapter 1334
Hearing the old man's words, the wolf monk couldn't help but sigh. Get up, he was indeed more difficult to discipline than the blood-clothed monk back then. The wolf monk still remembers that the blood-clothed monk of the year was actually not conspicuous in the Lin Temple. The old man doesn't follow the Buddhist law and doesn't keep the precepts, in fact, there is something wrong.
In fact, the person who really doesn't keep the door is the wolf monk, because he is too impulsive and does things only according to his own preferences. In the early years, when I was walking the rivers and lakes, I would shoot when I saw something I was not used to, and the shot was very heavy, usually either dead or disabled. It is precisely because of this that Shakya gave him the name of the wolf monk, and he was like a wild wolf who did not obey discipline.
As for the blood-clothed monk, he just didn't follow the Buddhist law, and when he was in the Lin Temple, the blood-clothed monk still belonged to the kind of person who was more introverted, and rarely showed his dew. He doesn't follow the Buddhist precepts, but he doesn't actually break any precepts, but he often questions the precepts and the precepts, so he gives people the feeling that he doesn't follow the Buddhist precepts. Moreover, the wolf monk still remembers that Shakya once said that the blood-clothed monk will definitely become a demon in the future.
At that time, the people of Lin Temple didn't pay much attention to Shakya's words, and even the wolf monk didn't pay much attention to them. Because, in his opinion, the blood-clothed monk could not make much of a mistake except for being a little stubborn psychologically. However, it wasn't until he came out of Wanyan Manor this time and heard about the blood-clothed monk destroying Lin Temple, that he finally believed Shakya's words. This usually taciturn senior brother finally became the one who destroyed the Lin Temple, how many people can imagine it?
"Don't worry, I'm not the same as him!" the wolf monk looked at the old man and said, "I won't kill innocents like him." β
Hearing this, the old man was a little relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, and did not run out anymore.
The wolf monk asked, "So, are you the only living person left in the Lin Temple?"
The old man shook his head and said, "No, Master Shakya and Monk Huanxi were not in the Lin Temple at that time. Also, weren't you there at the time?"
"What I asked was, were you the only one in the temple who survived?" said the wolf monk.
"No!" the old man shook his head again and said, "None of the people in the temple at that time survived. It was night when this happened, and I remember that I went down the mountain to buy something that night, but I didn't make it back, so I escaped. After coming back, the whole forest temple became what it is now. At that time, the situation was really very miserable, and everyone up and down the Lin Temple was not spared, and all of them died tragically in the Lin Temple. The entire Lin Temple was shrouded in the smell of burning corpses, hey, I still remember that scene clearly. β
The wolf monk clenched his fists, looked at the remaining half of the plaque outside the Lin Temple, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Bloody has always been silent, why did he suddenly go crazy and kill everyone in the Lin Temple?"
"I don't know. The old man thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I think it should be because of the different teachings of the Buddha." You also know that the blood-clothed monk came from a bleak background, and when he was young, he watched his parents and family die tragically in front of him. However, after entering the Lin Temple, the grievances outside were all settled at once. However, the blood-clothed monk couldn't let go of the grievances outside from beginning to end, and he always wanted to go down the mountain to take revenge, but he was stopped by the people in the temple. It's been suppressed for a long time, that's why this result has happened. β
"Really?" the wolf monk frowned slightly, of course he knew the background of the blood-clothed monk. However, it would be too far-fetched to ask the blood-clothed monk to kill everyone in the Lin Temple because of this incident, right? If he really wanted to take revenge, then why didn't he go down the mountain to find his real enemy, but instead kill everyone in the Lin Temple?
"People are like this anyway, and I don't know if it's true. The old man shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, at that time, the blood-clothed monk really killed countless people in the Lin Temple, and none of the monks in the entire Lin Temple were spared. If this is not the reason, then what else can it be? Even if he had an enmity with a certain monk of the Lin Temple, it would be impossible for him to kill everyone, and he would not have an enmity with everyone. So, I suspect that he must have gone crazy at that time, and he didn't even know what he was doing, and he killed people when he saw them. β
The wolf monk didn't speak, he had been imprisoned for too long, and he didn't know what was going on outside. What happened to the blood-clothed monk at that time, what was it that made him mad and destroyed the entire Lin Temple, he couldn't guess. However, looking at the ruined Lin Temple, there was only a kind of sadness in his heart. The Lin Temple, which used to be powerful in the world, is now so downtrodden, it is really emotional.
After being silent for a while, the wolf monk suddenly asked, "What about the signboard of the Lin Temple?"
For such a temple, the signboard is the faΓ§ade of the Rinji Temple. Now that even the signboard is gone, it is equivalent to the complete cessation of the forest temple.
"Isn't it at the door?" said the old man.
"There is only half of the door left, and there is still half of the sign?" said the wolf monk.
"After what happened, there was only this half of the signboard left. The old man said: "That half of the signboard, it is estimated that it was interrupted when the blood-clothed monk was crazy, and then thrown into the cliff behind, anyway, no one has been able to find it." β
The wolf monk frowned slightly, Lin Temple was almost three miles away from the cliff behind. Even if the blood-clothed monk was in a state of madness, it would be impossible for him to put this half of the signboard on his back and throw it three miles away to the bottom of the cliff, right? Moreover, the signboard of the Lin Temple was a thousand-year-old ice silkworm wood personally taken by the ancestor of the founding temple, and it was very tough. After thousands of years of wind and rain, there is no trace of wind and frost, and ordinary famous weapons can't be injured, let alone the blood-clothed monk interrupted this signboard with his bare hands.
However, thinking about it, this old man must not know anything about the thousand-year-old ice silkworm wood, and naturally he doesn't know that this signboard is not so easy to break. He is like this, in fact, it is normal, because in the eyes of ordinary people, the signboard is just made of wood, and people with high martial arts can easily destroy it.
It seems that there must be something wrong with the signboard of the Lin Temple, and someone deliberately destroyed it. After all, the signboard of Lin Temple, except for a few famous weapons in the world, there is no famous weapon that can destroy it. And the blood-clothed monk doesn't go down the mountain all year round, and it is impossible for him to have a famous weapon in his hand, so the destruction of the signboard of the Lin Temple is really strange.
"Are there any signs before Senior Brother Bloodcoat goes berserk?" the wolf monk asked.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "You this, I suddenly remembered." A few days before the blood-clothed monk went berserk, he seemed to have had a conflict with the presiding officer of the Discipline Academy. Moreover, in the first three days of his madness, he sat alone facing the wall for three whole days, and I don't know if he was stimulated by something. The night after facing the wall, he went crazy and went on a killing spree in the temple. β
"And this kind of thing?" the wolf monk was surprised, with the character of a blood-clothed monk, he might indeed sit alone facing the wall. However, facing the wall for three whole days, this is a little strange, the blood-clothed monk has never faced the wall for such a long time before. Could it be that in the past three days, there was something he couldn't figure out, so he led him to go crazy and kill people? But before that, what happened?
"Why did he suddenly face the wall?" asked the wolf monk.
"I don't know. The old man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just a firemaker in the temple, how can I know so many things." The matter of the blood-clothed monk facing the wall, I still heard it when others were discussing it. β
The wolf monk was helpless, it seemed that it was basically impossible to know anything from this old man. Why the blood-clothed monk went berserk and killed people in the Lin Temple, it is estimated that he can only know by asking himself. However, the wolf monk always felt that there was something strange in this matter, nothing else, just the broken half-section of the signboard in the Narin Temple proved that there must be a problem behind this matter.
The signboard of the forest temple must have been destroyed by a rare famous weapon, and it is also a very important question where the half of the signboard that was cut off went. Since this person took away half of the signboard, instead of taking away the entire signboard, it can be seen that there must be something unspeakable on the signboard, and he dare not let people see it.
After a moment of silence, the wolf monk bypassed the old man, walked straight to the door, and bent down to carefully look at the half of the signboard.
In fact, when the wolf monk first came to the Lin Temple, he found that there was something wrong with this sign. He had been standing in the doorway for so long, and he had been observing the sign, trying to see some clues from it. However, because this signboard has been placed for too long, after the wind and rain, many traces left by the year have been worn out, and only a few bloody handprints on it can be faintly seen, as if narrating the bloody case of the year.
The wolf monk stared at the signboard for a while, then suddenly reached out and turned the signboard over, carefully observing the broken point of the signboard. At a glance, a cold light flashed on the wolf monk's face, all of them were exactly the same as he expected, the fracture of this signboard was very neat, obviously after being cut by a sharp blade, not interrupted by brute force. If it was really interrupted by brute force, the fracture would never be so smooth.
It seems that the destruction of the Lin Temple is not as simple as it is rumored outside. If nothing else, just this famous device that cuts off the signboard has to make people suspicious. It's just that, why has no one ever thought about these questions for so many years, but they all insisted that it was the blood-clothed monk who killed all the monks in Lin Temple?
The wolf monk put the signboard back in its place, turned his head to look at the old man who followed behind, and said, "Has anyone seen the murder of the blood-clothed monk?"
