Chapter 234 A Senior in Seclusion? A Master in the Sect? (1/2)
Chapter 234 Senior living in seclusion? Teaching masters? (12)
"Hmph! What a loud tone!"
The great monk's expression changed slightly, then he sneered and ordered: "Go down."
"Yes!" The monk saluted and retreated.
This great monk is Lian Bian, the elder of Prajna Hall of Jinlian Temple.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked quickly towards the depths of the temple.
Soon Lian Bian came to Tallinn Valley. He stood at the mouth of the valley, clasped his hands and called softly.
"Brother Abbot."
"Junior brother, what's the matter here?"
A faint reply came from Tallinn.
This voice seems to contain the supreme Zen philosophy, which makes people feel enlightened and have a heart to take refuge.
Lian Bian frowned slightly. There seemed to be something wrong with the abbot's voice. However, he did not think too much and said hurriedly: "Abbott brother, Beicang's special envoy Li Qingshan led the eight major families of Yuqingzhou, large and small forces, and thousands of troops to the court. They came to my Jinlian Temple and said they wanted to destroy it."
"I already know about this matter. We must not sit still and wait for death. You call other junior brothers to prepare for a big fight. I will ask the guardian gods to deal with Li Qingshan personally. This time we will make sure that Li Qingshan never comes back."
Master Lotus's voice was extremely sinister, and although his expression couldn't be seen, one could still imagine his rage.
"As you command!"
Lian Bian felt a chill in her heart and turned around quickly. He was a little confused. Did his senior brother react too fiercely? Is it possible that Li Qingshan has an old grudge with him?
Lian Bian returned to the front hall and rang the alarm bell eighteen times, which meant that the ninety-nine were reunited and would not sound unless the family was destroyed.
Not long after, the disciples in the Golden Lotus Temple took action and gathered towards the martial arts field in the temple, waiting for the arrival of the elders.
The elders of the temple all came to a main hall and were discussing strategies to deal with the imperial encirclement and suppression.
Jinlian Temple is divided into five halls starting from the abbot Master Lianhua, namely the Precepts Hall, the Arhat Hall, the Sutra Hall, the Prajna Hall and the Relic Hall.
Among them, Lian Wu, the elder of the Discipline Hall, and Lian Tong, the elder of the Luohan Hall, are both masters of the Aperture Realm. The elders of Sutra Hall, Prajna Hall and Relic Hall are all masters in the middle and late stages of Tongmai Realm.
"That's what happened. The abbot said that he and the Protector will deal with Li Qingshan, and we need to deal with the rest. Of course, we only need to support him until the abbot kills Li Qingshan." Lianbian shared all the information he had collected with the other elders. Said it again.
"Li Qingshan has many masters under his command." Lian Wu, the elder of the Discipline Hall, said sadly.
When we really count the number of masters, there is one innate master on each side, but for the next-level masters, the gap between Jinlian Temple and the imperial court is huge.
You must know that each of the eight major families in Yuqingzhou has a master of the Tongqiao realm, and the rest are masters of the Tongmai realm. In total, there are eight masters of the Tongqiao realm, and thirty or forty masters of the Tongmai realm.
Other forces can also gather dozens of Tongmai Realm masters, and the rest are all late-stage Inner Qi Realm masters.
Plus the masters in the army.
The number of experts in the Tongqiao Realm and Tongmai Realm is enough to crush the Golden Lotus Temple.
"Haha, it's useless no matter how many experts we have. You know, we still have the Dharma Protector and those ghosts, which can even out the gap and even counterattack." The speaker was a dark-faced monk, who was the new Tibetan Buddhist scriptures. The elder Lian returns.
Lian Wu glanced at Lian Gui with a dull expression and said, "Those ghosts have been sent to Yuqingzhou City by the abbot brother."
"This," Lian Gui's face changed slightly, and then he said: "That's okay. The power of the protector can cover the entire temple. When the time comes, we will add the seniors who live in seclusion in the temple. By the way, there are still masters in the religion hiding there. You can also call for help. It will be enough to eliminate the invading enemies. Even if it doesn't work, you can still wait until the abbot kills Li Qingshan."
"What you said makes sense. Junior Brother Lianbian, go back to the abbot and ask the reclusive seniors and the masters of the teaching to come out and help." Lian Wu nodded.
There are still many masters from the previous generation in the temple. Because of their age, they all live in seclusion with the abbot in the Talin Valley and never show up. But now that life and death are at stake, it is time for these seniors to make a move.
"As ordered, senior brother." Lian Bian lowered his head and said.
With the countermeasures in hand, the tense atmosphere immediately eased, and the five elders began to discuss specific measures to deploy defenses and kill the enemy.
After the discussion, Renbian raised a new question: "Everyone, how should we deal with those who are not disciples of the Holy Religion?"
"Go and test it out. Those who are willing to stay and fight with the enemy will follow, and those who are not willing will be killed." Lian Wu said lightly.
"Yes!" Lianbian replied.
None of the elders had any objections.
The Golden Lotus Temple is secretly connected to the Black Lotus Sect, but most of the lower-level monks in the temple don't know this. They are just "tools" for the Golden Lotus Temple to maintain its image to the outside world.
After this battle, even if they win, the Golden Lotus Temple will no longer exist. The imperial court will not let them continue to stay here. Those who survive will flee.
So there is no need for these ‘tools’ to exist. Those who can be used in the end will be used as cannon fodder, and those who cannot be used will be executed secretly.
Rumble~~~
The sound of horse hooves was as dense as thunder, and the sound shook the surrounding areas.
A mighty cavalry galloped over.
Soon, a huge mountain peak was visible in the distance. The peak was steep and strange, with towering ancient trees, temples and palaces hidden in the forest, and surrounded by rich white smoke, it was like a paradise on earth.
"Is that the Golden Lotus Temple? What a holy place for Zen sect!"
Yu Guihai looked at it from a distance and suddenly felt emotional.
"Yes, this mountain is Qilian Mountain. The peaks are stacked one after another. It is said that when viewed from the sky, it looks like lotus flowers blooming on the earth. And this huge mountain is called Lotus Peak, which is a pity for the Golden Lotus Temple, haha."
Next to him, Li Qingshan explained.
"Yeah, who would have thought that the holy land of Zen would be the Black Lotus Sect." Yu Guihai said regretfully.
"The place is almost here, get ready, kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind!" Li Qingshan smiled, suddenly raised his knife, and shouted loudly.
The entire cavalry suddenly accelerated, like a wild dragon, stirring up dust that covered the sky.
Soon, everyone arrived at the foot of Lotus Mountain. The gate of Jinlian Temple was right in front. The gate was tall and majestic, with three golden characters on it, Jinlian Temple.
There was no one at the mountain gate, and all the Zhike monks who used to be here disappeared. Apparently they had received the news of the imperial encirclement and suppression and hid in advance.
"Up the mountain!"
Li Qingshan took the lead to dismount and walked towards the mountain road. The mountain road was steep. It was obviously not suitable for so many people to continue riding, and it was unnecessary.
Everyone from the major forces followed Li Qingshan in a chaotic manner, rushing towards the mountain like a rabble.
The guards are lined up neatly behind, with weapons in hand, ready to enter combat at any time. They are worthy of being an elite army.
Soon, everyone came to the square in front of the temple. This is usually the first stop for pilgrims to burn incense and worship Buddha. The huge incense burner in the square keeps burning incense all day long.
Everyone formed a formation in the square and looked cautiously at the closed temple door opposite.
At this time, no one dared to look down upon this powerful martial arts sect.
However, the Golden Lotus Temple was very strange at this time. A faint white smoke enveloped the entire temple, making it difficult to see what was inside.
Thank you for your support! ! I am slowly getting my feelings back!
