Chapter 45: The Broken Temple

"Just exchange that stone egg for that!" Jiang Ze suddenly said.

"Brother, did you burn out your braincase?" Lian Shan wondered, the stone egg was obviously a worthless thing, maybe he picked it up on the ground.

"If you lose, it will be on my head. Jiang Ze interrupted Lian Shan's questioning.

"Alas... If the brother thinks it's worth it... Then I'll be a fool with you!" Lian Shan looked open.

"Okay then... Don't go back on your word. Ying reluctantly handed the stone egg to Jiang Ze.

Then he glanced at Lianshan, saw that he had no intention of making a move, turned around and ran into the dense forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"The speed at which the soles of the feet are oiled is like doing something wrong. Lian Shan made a bitter face, "Take a step back, the more you think about it, the more you lose." ”

Jiang Ze put the stone egg in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully, and then threw it to Lianshan: "I have checked, this is indeed a treasure to avoid drugs, Brother Lianshan has it, and if he encounters poison in the future, he will also have life-saving means." ”

"It's rare for my brother to think about me. Lian Shan turned around and glared at Lan, lamenting his misfortune and being angry, "See, this is called a good brother! ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."Arashi replied very perfunctorily.

After that, Lian Shan threw the stone egg back to Jiang Ze, "Brother didn't get anything on this trip, this should be regarded as a reward, although it is not as good as your righteousness." ”

Jiang Ze wanted to refuse, Lian Shan hurriedly said: "When you go to Ning Dao this time, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, when you return to the sect, I will immediately go to change a treasure to avoid drugs, you just entered the sect and have no accumulation, so you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

"Well, well, thank you, Brother Lianshan. Jiang Ze accepted the stone egg.

"You're welcome, after all this life and death tribulation, I have long regarded you as my own brother, if you don't dislike it, how about being called by name in the future?"

Only elders and their own brothers in the Xuandao Continent can call their names directly, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

By the way, my real name is Jiang Ze, and Yantian is my pseudonym in this world. Jiang Ze and Lian Shan high-fived each other, and their hands were clasped tightly.

"And me!" a mud-stained hand reached out, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

After the repair was completed, the three of them set off back to the sect, and on the way they saw the remains of two people of the eighth order of the military realm, who had been gnawed beyond recognition by the beasts.

Arashi stepped forward to check, and all the things on his body were touched.

"Shhhh This monkey really doesn't make a loss-making deal!" Lian Shan concluded that it was Ying Wu who took away the things on them.

"These people who walk in the shadows, it is better not to provoke them, unless they can kill them with one blow. Arashi said, "Otherwise, it's like someone is watching around at any time." ”

Lian Shan and Jiang Ze nodded in agreement.

It was also for this purpose that Jiang Ze and Ying Wu made a loss-making deal, which was purely a personal favor.

Lan went to a nearby waterhole to wash off the sludge, and when he looked closely, he turned out to be a handsome young man.

The body is short and refreshing, the eyes are like stars, the sword eyebrows are flying, and the thin face is sharp and angular, revealing extraordinary heroism, which is not at all as embarrassed as before.

From the words, it was known that Lan was only one year older than Jiang Ze, and his cultivation was already at the critical juncture of breaking through to the Dou Realm.

Jiang Ze couldn't help but smack his tongue, his second-order cultivation in the military realm was indeed a bit insufficient, and his sense of urgency to improve his strength was even stronger.

There was no crisis, and the three of them were not in a hurry to leave, and they wandered for three days before arriving at the village where they had previously settled.

"Hey, why did this inn burn?" Lian Shan was surprised, he was fine when he came a few days ago, and he was still thinking about begging for a drink this time.

A few women who returned from Huanyi next to them took over the conversation: "I heard that the shopkeeper's greed for money caused big trouble and was killed by the enemy. ”

Another woman added: "Frightened, his daughter and son-in-law fled overnight to avoid pursuit, but his daughter was six months pregnant, and she didn't know if she could afford the bump." ”

"How can our poor daughters be so squeamish! When I gave birth to a dog baby, I was able to work in the field the next day!"

"Yes. Alas, she is also honest and diligent, but she ended up like this because of a father who saw money. ”

"What if the enemy is still hiding nearby?!"

Hearing this, several women dispersed in a hurry.

This murder case has occurred in this remote village, and everyone is in danger.

"The inn is gone, and the wine is gone..."Lian Shan had a bitter face, his throat was dry, and he squirmed.

The hunger will be bearable, and the main wine worm will be haunted, and the gluttony will be terrible.

"I still want to drink, it would be nice to have something to eat!" Lan glanced at him.

"That's what you said! When we go back, Jiang Ze and I will drink, and you will watch from the side!" Lian Shan said with a sneering snort.

"Then how can we do it, our brother who just got married, turned his face and was ruthless before he took two steps?" Lan didn't agree.

"Don't make a fuss, let's go back and have a good fight. Jiang Ze hurriedly stopped them.

The sky was getting dark, Jiang Ze looked around, "I heard Xiao Er say that there is a ruined temple on the mountain near here, so let's settle there tonight." ”

"That's it. Lian Shan and Lan Ying said.

The three of them touched the ruined temple before dark.

The temple was overgrown with weeds, the doors and windows were scattered, the walls were leaking everywhere, only the top of the head was covered by tiles, and the scattered offering table accumulated half an inch of dust, and the whole temple was dilapidated.

Entering the main hall, the statue in the center was damaged and dusty, and was pushed down and no one cared about it.

Lian Shan straightened the statue, took a few steps back and touched his chin to look at it carefully.

"It seems to be enshrined as a great monk of the Mahayana Temple. Arashi said.

"Mahayana Temple?" Jiang Ze asked, he had heard Xiaoyi mention the Mahayana Temple before.

According to legend, the Mahayana temple inheritance comes from the upper realm, known as the most orthodox Buddhism in the primordial realm, respecting a supreme power in the upper realm, and the monks practice Mahayana Buddhism and the wishes of all beings. Lian Shan explained, "The current Buddha Dharma name is Jialuo, and he once made a grand wish to cross the sea of suffering for all sentient beings and live this realm into the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, and if he does not succeed, he will not become a Buddha." ”

It seems that he is a living Buddha who cares about all sentient beings and has great merits, Jiang Ze thought.

"I don't know how the Mahayana Temple is, but I've seen their Buddhas. When it comes to the Buddha, Lian Shan's face is full of disdain.

"I want to be in the ruins of Xianfu, the cave is densely populated, and if you are not careful, you will die without a whole body, and the Buddha of Mahayana Temple took the lead, singing with righteousness, 'I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!'"

Then he kicked everyone next to him into it, and said in his mouth, 'I am all beings, and all beings are me.'" ’”

"Since then, I don't trust these sanctimonious bald people again!" said Lian Shan hatefully.

"Is there you among the people who were kicked in?" Arashi looked at him playfully.

"Of course, otherwise where did the purple gold in my axe come from~~~" Lian Shan patted his axe proudly, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"Although the Buddha is a little hypocritical, but the strength is indeed a real pervert, and the inheritance of Buddhism is even more powerful. ”

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Jiang Ze, if you meet a monk from the Mahayana Temple, don't be deceived by his solemn appearance and shining Buddha appearance. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll pay attention. Jiang Ze responded with a smile while cleaning up the place to rest.

The late autumn days are hot, the night is bitingly cold, and the broken temple is ventilated on all sides, whistling in the ears.

Although the three of them were not weak monks, they were hungry in their stomachs, and they still couldn't withstand the cold wind, so they had to make a fire to keep warm.

Jiang Ze and Lan fell asleep in front of the campfire, and Lian Shan roasted the hard steamed buns alone.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside, sometimes urgently.

Where did the footsteps come from in this barren mountain and wilderness?

Lian Shan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly grabbed the double axe in his hand, shook Jiang Ze and Lan awake, and made a silent gesture to the two with confused faces.

Footsteps gradually walked in.

Squeak...

The wooden door outside the courtyard was pushed open, and the footsteps followed suit, creaking on the dead branches, like the sound of wild dogs gnawing on white bones in a mass grave, which was particularly terrifying in this late autumn night.

A little fire suddenly floated outside the courtyard, and gradually approached this side.

"Gan! Tai Nima is scary, it's a person or a ghost, I'll go out and see if it's a ghost!" Lian Shan was about to rush out, and chopped this pretending ghost thing with an axe.

Jiang Ze hurriedly grabbed him and signaled not to act rashly.

The firelight and footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door, and the hearts of the three of them were raised to their throats.

Bang!

The door was pushed open!!

In front of him, it was a face full of wrinkles, scars criss-crossed, the few remaining black teeth were crumbling, and the facial features and wrinkles were squeezed together, which was really difficult to distinguish.

Under the constantly dancing yellow firelight, this face is particularly terrifying!

Rao is three young and strong young men, and when they saw this face, they were all shocked, and a chill was cold from head to toe.
