Chapter 242 Great Evil

The ground was covered with weeds, the doors and windows were broken, and the Buddha statue was gray. It seemed that someone had pushed it off the lotus platform and broke it into pieces. Its head rolled to the wall, just "looking" at Meng Qi and others, with a compassionate smile on its face.

This made Meng Qi a little terrified. The Great Sage was a demon, Benboerba was a demon, and the grandmother was also a demon, but everyone's style was completely different. Could it be that they encountered the latter?

Jiang Zhiwei and others looked around the Zen hall, but they could not find anything worth noting, nor did they find the enemy.

Ge Huai'en looked serious, took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, adjusted his breath for a moment, and then threw out a few copper coins in his palm.

Everyone knew that he was fortune-telling, so they didn't dare to disturb him, and each of them was on guard in different directions.

Ding... The sound of the copper coin rolling on the ground gradually dissipated. Ge Huai'en looked at it intently and his face changed slightly: "This place is very dangerous!"

"Which direction is more auspicious?" Meng Qi asked. Anyway, everyone was in the dark and didn't know where they were at the moment, nor did they know where the danger came from. So going according to the result of divination was the only way out.

Ge Huai'en picked up the copper coin and threw it several times. His face became more and more solemn. With his calm and peaceful personality, he also looked a little gloomy: "Every direction has a sign of great danger. We seem to be in a desperate situation."

Everyone exhaled, but they were not too disappointed. If not, it would not be a death mission.

"In this case, it will be dark, we should stay rather than leave." Luo Shengyi expressed his opinion confidently, which was very contagious.

Outside the window, the sun sank to the west, dyeing the sky red, and the surrounding area was already dim.

Meng Qi nodded and said, "It should be so."

He has read Journey to the West. With the description of the "demons disturbing the world" of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he can probably imagine the grand scene of a mountain with a nest of demons. Many demons are good at hiding and sneaking, and often hunt prey at night. In this case, walking at night is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be caught and steamed or fried. It is better to stick to this dilapidated temple and wait for dawn.

"Okay." Jiang Zhiwei had no objection to this.

Zhang Yuanshan is calm and meticulous in his work. He immediately said, "Then let's inspect the temple together and eliminate internal hidden dangers."

At this time, everyone must advance and retreat together. They must not split up or be alone, otherwise they may be dead when they meet again.

No one opposed his proposal. Meng Qi took the lead, and the others had their own positions. As soon as he opened the door, a wow wow wow sounded, and a group of crows flew up from the roofs. There was a feeling of rising black clouds. The dilapidated temple in the dusk was set off by desolate and lonely, gloomy and terrifying.

As far as Meng Qi could see, the square outside the Zen hall was also overgrown with weeds, bird droppings and animal feces, broken walls and tiles everywhere, and it looked like no one had been here for many years.

"We must finish the inspection before dark." Luo Shengyi was still used to giving orders, but compared to before, he obviously respected the opinions of Meng Qi and others more.

Meng Qi nodded, holding a knife in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, and led everyone to search the Zen courtyard one by one. He found that there was no one here, and some wooden tables and chairs were so rotten that they collapsed at the touch. Occasionally, a skinny mouse could be seen passing by as if no one was there and swaggering.

About half an hour later, the sky became darker and it felt like night. Jiang Zhiwei and Fu Zhenzhen lit a fire stick to illuminate the surrounding environment.

They probably searched the main body of the temple and found nothing strange or valuable. Some of the rotten bodies of wild beasts were bitten to pieces, and it was obvious that wild dogs had visited.

"It seems that it is not a monster that can drive ghosts." Zhang Yuanshan made a judgment.

There was an era when monsters ravaged the earth in the main world. Various monsters emerged one after another. Although they were suppressed by the Human Emperor and hid in Tianhaiyuan and other places, they still appeared from time to time and caused chaos. Therefore, the records of monsters in various sects are very detailed. As the direct descendant of Zhenwu, Zhang Yuanshan naturally has various methods and tricks to check.

Meng Qi looked back at the gate of the temple and saw that it was dark outside, which seemed to contain endless dangers: "Then we should mainly guard against the monsters outside."

The plaque on the main gate seemed to have disappeared long ago, so they could not know which temple they were in.

"Let's go back to the original Zen Hall first. The location there is the most suitable." Jiang Zhiwei weighed the conditions of various Zen temples and the distance to the gate, and made a suggestion.

Meng Qi had no objection and walked in front again. It can be clearly seen that the Zen Hall just now was the main hall of this temple.

When he was about to reach the Zen room, Meng Qi suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden glow under the light of the fire.

"Hey, the gold paint on the Buddha statue is dull, where does the gold color come from?" Meng Qi frowned slightly, walked over, and found that it was a plaque covered with moss and weeds, and the gold color was the stroke of the text on it.

"Plaque?" Jiang Zhiwei asked sharply, "You can see what temple this is."

Although it is in an unfamiliar reincarnation world, knowing the name of the temple and the place name is useless, but it is a Buddhist temple after all, and it may be consistent with the Buddhist sect in the main world, and some situations can be judged from it, just like the Shaolin in the Duoercha world, in addition to the same layout as the Shaolin in the main world, it also worships Tathagata.

Meng Qi knew the names of several temples in the Journey to the West world, such as Jinshan Temple, and it may be able to judge the location by this, so he used "whispering" to remove the weeds and moss on it.

With his skills, the last word below quickly appeared, which was the Sanskrit word "temple". If Meng Qi had not learned it in Shaolin, no one present would have been able to recognize it.

Scraping further up, the Sanskrit word "音" was revealed. Meng Qi's face changed slightly and his breathing stopped a little. It couldn't be "Little Leiyin Temple"! Not to mention the Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor who was taken away, any leader in there could eat him and the others alive.

"Isn't it right?" Ruan Yushu seemed to notice Meng Qi's nervousness, and everyone's breathing suddenly became lighter.

Meng Qi shook his head and continued scraping weeds and moss. Eight hundred years have passed, and the monsters here should have moved away long ago. After all, the Yellow-browed Ancestor was taken away by Maitreya Buddha.

The golden Sanskrit characters were revealed bit by bit, and Meng Qi's heartbeat suddenly slowed down. It was really the word "Thunder"!

Xiaoleiyin Temple...Does this mean we are in Hezhou, Xiniu? It was really full of monsters, big and small!

Feeling that he had confirmed the result, Meng Qi relaxed a little. Looking at the dilapidated appearance, it didn't look like there was a powerful monster living there.

He randomly removed the remaining weeds, intending to make the word "small" appear. Suddenly, he laughed in his heart: "It turns out that it is not the word 'small', but 'big', which means it is not Xiaoleiyin Temple anymore. good……"

Just when he thought of this, his pupils shrank violently, his expression froze, and a turmoil arose in his heart.

There is no word "small", but "big", wouldn't it be "Da Leiyin Temple"? "Da Leiyin Temple" where Tathagata Buddha lived during Journey to the West?

The sound of the Buddha's voice is like thunder!

This is unscientific... Meng Qi looked confused. How does this look like the "Great Leiyin Temple"? If even "Da Leiyin Temple" becomes like this, wouldn't it mean that something unimaginable has happened? He almost gave himself a slap in the face the moment he came!

Don't be anxious, don't tell which wild fox Zen took it on your own... The change in Meng Qi's expression made Jiang Zhiwei and others more alert, but his appearance made people dare not ask questions for a while.

Meng Qi stared at the plaque and saw that there was a trace of greenness in the wood, which actually retained vitality. The four Sanskrit words on it seemed ordinary at first, but upon closer inspection, people felt the purity and tranquility from the heart, and the Zen meaning was plain but meaningful. , it lies there quietly, as if telling the vicissitudes of time, its body does not move, it is true and true.

"Could it really be the 'Great Leiyin Temple'..." Meng Qi subconsciously inserted "Ziwu" and picked up the plaque. When he looked back at the meditation hall, he realized something was wrong. If it really was the "Great Leiyin Temple" , except for the plaque, all other things should be sacred objects that have been contaminated by the breath of Tathagata Buddha all year round. Even if hundreds of years have passed, they should have an unusual smell like the plaque. How could it be decayed and dilapidated, without any abnormality, and break when touched? .

Could it be that this is not the "Da Leiyin Temple", but the plaque on it is real?

But this guess is also unacceptable! Who brought out the "Da Leiyin Temple" plaque from the Pure Land of Lingshan and threw it here?

When he calmed down, he realized that his abnormality had attracted the attention and worry of all his companions. This matter was too unbelievable, and he could not control it with his current state of mind.

"What's wrong with 'Da Leiyin Temple'?" Jiang Zhiwei asked doubtfully, the young monk was born in Buddhism, does he know something?

According to some Buddhist records in the main world, the Buddha lived in the Pure Land of Nalanda, but there was nothing about the Great Thunder Sound Temple, so they were not surprised.

Meng Qi pondered for a while and said, "I have read a few Buddhist scriptures written by unknown people. They said that Tathagata Buddha also had the Pure Land of Lingshan, and there was a 'Great Thunder Sound Temple' in the center of the Pure Land."

The expressions of Zhang Yuanshan, Luo Shengyi and others changed slightly. Meng Qi was born in Buddhism, and it was normal for him to read Buddhist scriptures that were unknown to outsiders. Could it be that demons were causing chaos in the world, destroying the Buddha's pure land, and leaving the Great Leiyin Temple in ruins?

This is impossible!

Where do monsters get this kind of ability? Even the Demon Lord who can create a world by himself cannot do it!

Even if the Demon Saint is resurrected, he will still be equal to the Demon Lord at most.

Or maybe the Buddha here is not the Buddha in the main world?

Countless questions emerged, but they all remained silent, waiting for Meng Qi to continue.

Meng Qi expressed his speculation and suspected that this place was not the Great Leiyin Temple, but only the plaque on it. This point has been approved by everyone. Even if he is not a real Buddha, a normal Buddha's residence should be full of holy objects. It is countless times better than the relics in the world of Duo Ercha at the beginning. Why is it like this now, being treated by himself and others? It breaks if touched.

"Maybe it's not necessarily the real plaque, maybe it was written by some eminent monk." Meng Qi himself didn't believe this explanation. If Lingshan was normal and Daleiyin Temple was normal, which eminent monk would name his temple after Da Leiyin Temple?

Then thinking of "eight hundred years after the journey to the west, demons were in chaos in the world", Meng Qi smelled the breath of change.

He was silent for a moment and said: "The stories told in those Buddhist scriptures are somewhat similar to this world. Monsters are rampant and saints among monsters are everywhere. We cannot be careless at all."

"If we really encounter a powerful person at the level of Demon Saint, it will be useless if we are not careless. Relax." Jiang Zhiwei chuckled, not afraid.

As soon as the words fell, everyone trembled, and a tyrannical demonic aura rose into the sky!

Countless weak evil spirits joined together, like a dark cloud, with the sound of wind blowing from all directions, rushing towards this Zen courtyard.

"Fighting the wind?" Zhang Yuanshan's expression condensed. This is at least half a monster on location level!

Because monsters are born with supernatural powers, they can fight half a level earlier than the powerful human race.
