Chapter 457: The Truth

We made the choice for Murphy, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

The carriage returned to the Taoist temple again, and I saw from afar that Lian Wenhe was sitting cross-legged at the gate, learning to breathe and breathe in a good way.

Seeing my car stop, Lian Wenhe swept away his previous fear and rejection and happily stepped forward.

"Mr. Zhuge is finally here!"

"Recently, when I practiced the Thousand Mountains Secret Technique, I always felt a heat in my heart, and no matter how much I meditated, it would be interrupted from my cultivation state."

"I can sense that it is because of this heat that I have affected the progress of my cultivation......

Lian Wenhe greeted me and muttered a bunch of cultivation experiences, which showed that he practiced very hard.

I sighed and didn't answer.

The feeling that Lian Wenhe said is something that almost every practitioner encounters.

The secret art of a thousand mountains, paying special attention to the cultivation of the mind.

In the first half of his life, Lian Wenhe was almost living in decadence, and the difference in heart and personality was not something that could be cultivated overnight.

Even if he asks me for advice, I can only say that he is slowly cultivating over time.

With his qualifications, even if he cultivates for a lifetime, he will not achieve anything.

I asked, "Do you know how Lian Qianshan's predecessor passed away in the first place?"

Lian Wenhe looked a little embarrassed, and then said blankly, "I really don't know this."

"But...... Some time before my grandfather died, the reputation was very bad."

I said, "You pick up the matter about Lian Qianshan's predecessors, and tell me more, maybe you can have a key clue to deal with Jiaolong."

Lian Wenhe's expression was a little reluctant, but he still told us about Lian Qianshan in detail.

"When I was four years old, both my parents died, and I was adopted by Master and his old man."

"Because I was too young at the time, I didn't have any memory of my parents, and the only person I remember was Master."

"In the beginning, the Thousand Mountains Taoist Temple was full of incense, and Master was particularly respected, and I often had snacks from pilgrims to eat."

"But it didn't take long for everything to change."

"Master brought a pregnant woman into the Taoist temple, and it didn't take long for her to give birth to a baby, because I was so young at the time, I can't remember whether the baby was male or female."

"One day, the woman with a bunch of people, as if it were his family, quarreled and smashed the statue of his grandfather, and brought people to insult him every day."

"Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and it didn't take long for almost everyone to start cursing grandpa, and they started pouring dung and paint on the mountains."

"It didn't take long for the entire Taoist temple to be abandoned, and no one came up to the mountain to worship."

"Not long after that incident, Master passed away, and I went to a public school to study for boarding."

"When I was young, I also thought about inheriting the mantle of my master, packing up the Taoist temple and others to worship with incense."

"It's a pity that those people don't believe me at all, and even scold me for being a child of a Taoist priest and a concubine."

"Later, I gave up building a Taoist temple, and after graduating from junior high school, I have stayed here."

"When I don't have money, I go to work in the Yamashita Electronics Factory, work for a while, and then come back and lie down, not wanting to do anything."

Unexpectedly, Lian Wenhe would have this kind of experience.

He once wanted to re-cultivate Taoism, and he had ambitions, but he was spurned and suppressed since he was a child, and it was difficult to have a normal mentality.

He has come to this point, which seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable.

As for Lian Qianshan's death, it seems incredible.

According to Lian Wenhe, Lian Qianshan's death has little to do with stopping Jiaolong.

He died not long after the statue was destroyed.

What is a monk doing to get a statue of himself?

Don't...... Is it that the golden body that Lian Qianshan created for himself was destroyed!?

It suddenly occurred to me that my grandfather once told me that before a person reaches the peak of cultivation, he needs to use the merits he has accumulated throughout his life to shape a golden body for himself.

The golden body is cultivated for 7749 days, and it can be promoted to the position of heavenly master.

The golden body shaped with merit can resist the heavenly calamity for the physical body.

Lian Qianshan's cultivation relies on accumulating merits, and all his strength comes from the faith of the people.

If faith is lost at a critical moment, the power is greatly diminished.

If people destroy the statue of merit, he will die in the catastrophe!
