Chapter 61: The Death of the Sole One
Also knowing where Emperor Xu's tomb is located are Zhong Mingxuan's group.
Since the battle of Zhang Tiezhuang, Hui Zhong and others thought that it was impossible to attack, so they decided on a strategy of static braking, arranged manpower, hid in the dark to observe the actions of Xu Hao and others, and finally followed Li Dakui to find Xu Shouhui's tomb.
Now, the people are still undecided whether to dig up the tomb first. Especially the three masters of Duzun Mountain and Old Master Xiao, they are resistant to this matter from the bottom of their hearts, after all, it is harmful to heaven and reason, and it is even more contrary to people.
But Hui Zhong knew that Xu Hao and the others would go sooner or later. Now that Xu Hao and Ming Xiang have joined forces, their forces are even stronger, and if they don't take the lead, it will be difficult to stop them. After discussion, it was decided that Master Chen Mo would return to Duzun Mountain to report the situation to Xu Ying, and it would be up to him to decide whether to explore first, while the others would pay close attention to Zhang Tiezhuang's movements and be ready to visit the tomb at any time.
Chen Mo left the Sanghta Temple, all the way to Duzun Mountain, although the road is not far away, but the heart gradually felt uneasy, faintly felt that something was going to happen, had to get up and hurry up, an hour and a half of effort, to the mountain gate, only to find that the temple was quiet a little unusual, and there was smoke rising from the mountain.
On weekdays, although Duzun Temple is far away from the hustle and bustle, it is integrated with nature, insects and birds sing endlessly, and there are pilgrims from near and far to go up the mountain, it is not a deserted place. Besides, how could this mountain gate not be guarded by monks? What's going on with the smoke on this mountain?
In a hurry, Chen Mo took three steps and made two steps, rushed into the temple, and saw that the hall was burned to pitch black, and the courtyard in front of the temple was full of messes, lying down the corpses of the monks, and his mind was in a mess, and he didn't feel a burst of dizziness, and he almost fell.
Chen Mo hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold a pine tree and stood still, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and carefully identified it, in addition to the disciples of Duzun Mountain that he was familiar with, there were also many ordinary people lying on the ground, thinking that they were believers who came to worship the Buddha on incense, in addition, there were many people wearing red and yellow cloaks, black hats, and white clothes, who was not the White Lotus Sect?
Obviously, there was a fight to the death here, and the people who started this fight were naturally the White Lotus Sect members.
The monks of Duzun Temple have always practiced martial arts, and all of them are not bad, and they can be destroyed in one fell swoop, which shows that these White Lotus Sect members are also good in the sect, and most of the masters who can gather so many masters in such a short period of time are Lin San, the left protector of the White Lotus Sect, and Tang Sai'er, the holy envoy of Duowen, who have already sneaked into Jianghuai.
This White Lotus Sect is really full of sinister and cunning people, and when he saw that the three of our senior brothers had all gone down the mountain in Zhang Tiezhuang, he brought people to the mountain to attack and destroy my mountain gate, which was really hateful. Chen Mo thought about it in his heart, smashed his fist on the pine tree, and suddenly thought that there was an important person in this temple, shouted "not good", and hurriedly ran to the back mountain.
When Chen Mo ran to Xu Ying's daily practice, there was still a figure of anyone.
It's just that there are no traces of a fight in the scene here, and judging by the situation, Xu Ying seems to have left by herself. Based on Chen Mo's knowledge, so far, he only knows that Xu Ying is a devout Buddhist, and he has not seen any attainments in martial arts, if he goes out like this, it is very likely that he will be captured by the people of the White Lotus Sect.
Chen Mo came out of the cave where Xu Ying practiced, spent most of the day, gathered all the corpses on the ground, performed a simple ritual for the monks and believers, and then put down a fire and cremated the corpses in the courtyard.
With full of grief and indignation, dragging his tired body, Chen Mo bid farewell to Duzun Temple, which had been practicing for many years, and went down the mountain to the town of Sanghta Temple.
Now that Xu Ying is missing, it is no longer feasible to count on him to decide whether to explore Xu Shouhui's tomb first.
In fact, for whether to participate in the competition for the treasure of Tianwan Kingdom, Chen Mo started from the long-term development of Duzun Temple, and thought that Xu Ying did not ask his brother Xu Hao what he did, and Duzun Temple did not need to ask, and he even felt that even if Xu Ying asked about these things, Duzun Temple could only participate in it in a limited way, after all, being involved in the struggle between the court and the rivers and lakes was really not something that a Buddhist person should do, nor was it conducive to the long-term prosperity and stability of Duzun Temple.
However, Hui Zhong insisted on his own opinion, he believed that Xu Ying and Duzun Temple were really one, and at the beginning of the construction of the temple, Duzun Temple was also given by Emperor Xu, how could he stay out of the matter? Moreover, the monks have compassion in their hearts, and they should not allow the small people to cause trouble, so they can only break the vows and counter violence with violence.
At this time, if you think about these monks who died unjustly, doesn't it confirm your worries? Alas, it's a pity that I can't regret it now, and it won't help to complain about Huizhong.
Chen Mo didn't know what would happen to his brother and brother after learning about what happened on the mountain, and he didn't want to go back to the Sanghta Temple at this time, and he didn't want to face his brother and sister, although they should know about it at this time, and they needed to support each other the most, but no one in this Duzun Temple knew everything in the temple better than him, knew every monk in the temple, and understood every believer who came to the temple to worship incense and worship the Buddha. He is the abbot of the Guanyuan, and his affection for this Duzun Temple is undoubtedly the deepest among these monks.
Duzun Temple suffered from this catastrophe, only three light pole monks remained, although the four monks were empty, but witnessed the soul of this temple, Rao is Chen Mo is known as a monk, after all, it is difficult to let go easily, if you want to say that the hatred is written off, Chen Mo feels, this is not only sorry for the dead disciples, but also sorry for the Buddha.
He decided to leave alone and return to the ascetic life of thirty years ago, thinking that back then, he was a young man who was enchanted by hatred, and then fell into the empty door and saw sexual enlightenment. Perhaps, from now on, there will be a reversal of the practice, so that he can become an avenger from a high monk.
Originally, from the perspective of Buddhism, although the White Lotus Sect belongs to the sect of Buddhism, it is a side door and an outsider, and it has always been ashamed of the Buddhas. Chen Mo decided to find the traces of the White Lotus Sect, and he had to ask for a word so that the heretics could be punished.
Judging from the current situation, the one who committed these things must be the group of White Lotus Sectists led by Lin San, the reason why they committed this thing must be to attack the enemy, weaken the competitors, and increase the possibility of seizing the treasure of Tianwan, so to speak, they must still be in Luo Tian, or observe all this somewhere.
Chen Mo thought about these things while going down the mountain, although he was hungry, he felt that he had countless inexhaustible strength.
He didn't know that at this time, in the mountains and forests not far away, a pair of eyes were staring at his sadness and anger. I saw that the person was wearing a black Tai Chi robe and a yin-yang fan-shaped mask, which was the same as the one who blocked Wang Zhaoren and his party in the Han River, it was neither Lin San nor Tang Sai'er.
