Chapter 169: Lanruo Temple

After two breaths, the group of people fell to the ground before they saw Xia Yang's figure. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xia Yang was not far away from them, and everything was really real.

He didn't know what was going on and didn't want to meddle with things, but it wasn't until he heard what the leader said, that he understood what was going on.

Looking at the two people who were killed, they were thin and didn't know martial arts at all, how could they be some kind of Jiangyang thieves. Recalling the plot at the beginning of the story, where people were arrested and killed, wanted criminals were arrested everywhere to receive rewards, and even Ning Caichen was almost arrested, how similar is it to the current situation? If you really talk about Jiang Yang's thieves, it is more similar to the group of scar-faced men.

This life is killing good and risking merit!

Originally, he had the opportunity to save these two people, but because he didn't want to pay attention to idle things, the two were killed by this gang of thieves, and his mood was indescribably complicated in an instant.

It's not just anger, it's also a great disappointment in the world, or human nature!

He was even more angry at why he didn't make a decisive move just now, he obviously had the ability to change this result.

Although Xia Yang is not a savior, and he has no idea of being a savior, he knows very well that this world is out of his sight, and that kind of thing just now happens all the time, but this does not mean that he can ignore everything as if nothing happened.

This is not Our Lady. Mencius once said that the reason why people are different from beasts is that the common people go to them, and the gentlemen survive. Shun is clear in the common things, observant in the human ethics, by benevolence and righteousness, not benevolence and righteousness. It is to tell the world that the reason why people are human beings is not beasts, but because of the existence of human nature, understanding human ethics, and knowing benevolence and righteousness.

How could Xia Yang not know that with the complexity of human nature, moral degradation, and the annihilation of human nature, how could it be such a world of people eating people? But it does not mean that he will be with the world. He understands that heaven and earth regard all things as dogs, but in his opinion, the way of heaven is not humane.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Xia Yang has not only become stronger, but also his personality has changed a lot. He didn't know where he would go in the future, but the strength he pursued was by no means indifferent and selfish, like the legendary gods and demons, who regarded all beings as ants and played with the deformed power between applause.

At least until now, he still retains the vast majority of his humanity, which is the limit he has set for himself in his heart. He can't change the world and people's hearts, but he can change what he sees, which is why he made a move.

To save or not to save, it was only between his thoughts, just a thought, but let these two people die, and they were beheaded, all he could do was to send this group of people down to the two people to be buried together.

Like the group of people who pretended to be Taoist priests before, these people were heinous, and killing them, Xia Yang could be said to have no burden in his heart.

Since he got the Ten Thousand Worlds Pearl, he has killed many people in the past three or four years, but the people he killed are either not of my race, or they are innocent of death, and the crime cannot be punished, but he has never killed anyone who should not be killed.

After killing this group, he hastily buried the two headless corpses, which was considered to be benevolent and righteous, and then he continued to go to Guobei County.

All the way through, I saw a lot of villages, the smoke curling, the roosters and dogs barking, continued to walk along the road, the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and there were merchants who came and went to transport goods, looking hurried, and it seemed that they were not far from the destination.

Walked for a while, a small city is in sight, after approaching, "Guobei County" three big characters are clearly visible, the city gate in front of the south to the north, the voice of the people is boiling, so lively.

However, it is said that it is a county seat, but the actual area is pitifully small, and it is only slightly larger than Lounan Town, but after entering the city, there are all kinds of shops on the street. But Xia Yang found that the most prosperous business here was not restaurants, gambling houses and brothels, but coffins.

In this chaotic and demon-rampant world, the happiest person is probably the coffin shop owner. And this is still the result of many people who cannot afford coffins, and only dump their bodies in mass graves.

On the street, there are many knife-wielding elements with fierce faces, holding a thick stack of wanted notices in their hands, these are all wanted by the imperial court, and the heinous criminals, these people come up to interrogate every person, and make a fuss, but the residents of the county town are not surprised, it can be seen that the freezing three feet is by no means a day's cold.

Even Xia Yang has been stopped by someone, but he is extremely outstanding in temperament and momentum, just glaring at the man, the man who stopped him felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to offend him at all.

Although he knew that these people were not good people, and Xia Yang was not a soft-hearted person, he would not kill people in public because others collided with him, but secretly broke his dantian and abolished his martial arts, so that he could no longer do evil in the future.

The man's face turned pale, and he immediately stared at Xia Yang with a horrified expression, but where did he dare to say anything, and he was frightened, so he quickly turned around and ran away.

Xia Yang didn't stay in the city for long, and after finding a restaurant and having a full meal, he went towards the location of Lanruo Temple that he had inquired about.

Lanruo Temple, located a few miles east of Guobei County, Xia Yang walked not long before he saw a lush forest. After walking through the woods, you will come across a dilapidated temple stupa with several statues of the king at the door.

Outside the pagoda, there is a stone tablet with three traditional characters written on it: "Lanruo Temple!"

Finally arrived at this ghost place where the locals heard about it, looking at the stone monument, Xia Yang's eyes couldn't help but show a solemn look.

The background of the story of the first part of A Chinese Ghost Story happened in it!

Thinking of this abandoned ancient temple, as well as the surrounding woods, there are many female ghosts hidden to seduce passers-by, as well as a thousand-year-old tree demon that absorbs the yang energy of the living, his heart is also slightly heavy.

But since he is here, there is no reason to be afraid. The top priority is to find Yan Chixia first, but I don't know if he is in it now?

It was still daytime, and in broad daylight, it was impossible for female ghosts and tree demons to come out to harm people, so Xia Yang did not have any worries, and strode into Lanruo Temple.

The temple had been abandoned for a long time, and the air was muddy and smelled of decay. I saw that the temple door inside was empty, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the vermilion lacquer in front of the door had already fallen off, covered with dust, and there was no majesty of other Buddhist temples at all. The plaque of the temple is covered with cobwebs, and the words "Lanruo Temple" on it can still be vaguely recognized.

Push the door in, the main hall inside is extremely spacious, there are still many murals of Arhats and Buddhas on the wall, the corner of the hall, there are clusters of basil, and there is a large pool under the steps, and the pool is full of wild lotus.

Passing through the main hall, the doors of the monks' houses on the east and west sides are hidden, and only a small room in the south is relatively clean, as if someone has lived in it.

Xia Yang's heart moved, but he didn't know if it was Yan Chixia who lived here, or the victimized travelers who passed by before.

"Anyone?" he began.
