Chapter 301
Seeing the two of them running back to the village, Qiao Youning's expression looked better, but it was still somewhat awkward.
"What's going on?" Chen Jing asked in confusion, "What kind of charity are they doing here?"
Although Chen Jing had some knowledge of the [Great Buddha Mother Temple], what he encountered today really hit his blind spot in knowledge.
Of course.
This is also related to some people's deliberate concealment of him.
After all, how can I say some things inside the temple... It does exist, but I just don't know how to explain it to Chen Jing.
"Flesh donation."
Qiao Youning sighed, while building up her mental strength, she forced herself to keep her face calm, and explained in the tone of an old scholar doing scientific research.
"Most of the practice in the temple is related to one's own desires, especially after awakening the ultimate sequence, the desires in the heart will be unlimitedly magnified... Some people are greedy to the bone, some people become bloodthirsty and aggressive, and some people will become... that thing."
"What thing?" Chen Jing asked curiously.
Qiao Youning didn't say anything, but just glared at him fiercely.
"It should be that as a living being, the desire to mate is stronger, right?" Yan Que suddenly spoke, with a serious expression on her childish face, and her tone was frighteningly calm, "Although I don't quite understand, some creatures seem to be like this."
"Their brains don't work very well." Qiao Youning said helplessly, "You saw their attitude just now, they think from the bottom of their hearts that they are doing good things..."
"Well..." Chen Jing didn't know what expression to put on, and he was so embarrassed that his toes were clenched.
"They think this is an extremely happy thing, so they want those unhappy people to be happy with them." Qiao Youning said this, and she felt that there was nothing to hide, and she gave Chen Jing a straightforward explanation.
According to her.
There are quite a few monks who are "charitable" in the temple.
Perhaps because their awakening sequence is entangled with their own desires, the changes in their physical bodies are more obvious than other monks.
Men are becoming more handsome or strong.
The women are becoming more charming and attractive.
Not only that, they also have a kind of "charm" ability...
"No wonder..."
Chen Jing suddenly realized that when the candidates used the polar day to play the meme in the forum, they always said some inexplicable words.
What temples are rich in succubi.
They even had a party in the middle of the night without calling me...
"Do you know why the elders strictly forbid them to give alms at will within the protection of the temple?"
"I don't know." Chen Jing shook his head, looking gossipy, "But I want to know!"
"Because they are all men and women, regardless of age..." Qiao Youning was ashamed when she said this, and she was ashamed to be associated with them from the bottom of her heart, "Just like in the village before, from the old to the young, you understand?"
"..."
"There is another reason besides this." Qiao Youning's face became redder and redder, but she didn't seem to want to fool Chen Jing anymore, so she just said it all in one breath, "After ordinary people accept their alms, they usually become addicted to it and can't extricate themselves, even forgetting to eat and sleep, and just want to continue to ask them for alms."
"This is a real succubus." Chen Jing was stunned, with a look of astonishment, "Your temple is too..."
Just when Chen Jing wanted to complain a few more words about the evil winds in the temple, the two monks who went back to change clothes had already trotted back.
"Lady Saint! We are here with a mission!"
"What mission?"
Qiao Youning looked at the two breathless people in front of her, and a flash of vigilance flashed across her eyes.
"Could it be that the elders asked you to come here to give alms?"
"No, no!"
The female monk, who was more than four meters tall, hurriedly shook her head to deny it, and her tone became nervous, fearing that Qiao Youning would misunderstand.
"The elders asked us to close the mountain!"
"Close the mountain?" Qiao Youning was stunned.
"Yes, close the mountain!"
The male monk on the side spoke, his tone became serious.
"Yukong Mountain, from today on, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Chapter 391 The sound of chanting from underground (Part 1)
When Chen Jing heard that the two monks were going to close Yukong Mountain.
His first reaction was to kill them first.
I want to go up the mountain, and you want to close the mountain.
Isn't this obviously going against me...
Could it be that the temple received some news, so they asked them to come and close the mountain and block the road?
"Why is the mountain closed?" Qiao Youning looked at them in confusion, with a dangerous light flickering in her eyes. "Before coming here, I didn't hear the elders say that the mountain was going to be closed..."
"They said it yesterday." The male monk scratched his head, "Maybe it's because this matter is too small, so the elders didn't tell you?"
"Yeah! It's just a small matter! It's normal that the Saint Lady doesn't know!" The female monk explained.
After hearing what they said, Qiao Youning recalled it carefully.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders, she did not mention coming to Yukong Mountain in the temple. Even this time when she went out, she only said hello to her grandmother, saying that she was going to Yukong Mountain to collect some Bodhi fetuses to go back and make medicine...
At that time, the grandmother didn't say anything, and it seemed that she didn't take it to heart.
So at that time, would the grandmother already know that Yukong Mountain was going to be closed?
"Why block Yukong Mountain?" Qiao Youning asked calmly.
When they heard the saint's question, the two of them did not dare to be perfunctory and hurriedly explained all the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Three days ago.
The residents of this village once asked the temple people to report a problem.
Whenever it gets dark.
They can always hear a strange chanting sound coming from the main peak of Yukong Mountain.
"It's like the sound you monks make when they chant sutras. It sounds like an old man chanting sutras in the mountains." This is what the villagers who provided clues at the time said.
Therefore, the temple sent two monks to block Yukong Mountain and asked them to wait at the foot of the mountain until a few days later, when the temple sent someone to take over the task. They could not leave.
"The sound of chanting sutras..." Qiao Youning looked at the main peak of Yukong Mountain thoughtfully and asked expressionlessly, "Have you ever gone up the mountain to check?"
"have!"
The male monk nodded hurriedly, indicating that he did not dare to forget the task assigned by his leader for a moment.
"The chanting sound is extremely weird. It sounds like he is reciting the scriptures of our temple, but the person chanting the scriptures is a little unclear, and we can't tell which scripture he is reading... But we have another one Discover!"
"explain."
"That strange chanting sound actually came from inside the mountain. After our preliminary investigation, we found that there is a huge space inside Yukong Mountain, which has never been seen before..."
Having said this, the male monk couldn't help but frown, as if he found this matter extremely strange.
"Lord Saint, you also know that Bodhi fetuses are a specialty of Yukong Mountain. Their tribe has always lived within the scope of Yukong Mountain, but according to the information we have recently obtained..."
The male monk said, his tone becoming more and more solemn.
"The number of Bodhi fetuses suddenly began to decrease on a large scale, or they disappeared collectively. We went to the mountain to search for them early this morning, but we couldn't find even half a Bodhi fetus."
"Disappeared?" Qiao Youning was stunned for a moment, and Chen Jing on the side was also full of disbelief, because they came here for the Bodhi Fetus. If all those things disappeared...it doesn't matter if they made the trip in vain. , but what should we do with the old man’s injury? !
"Their disappearance should be related to the sudden appearance of the underground space." The female monk on the side said, seeming to have already made her own inference, "The underground space appeared out of thin air during this period of time. It has never existed before, so we suspect that, Those Bodhi embryos are hidden inside.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed her hair with a helpless expression.
"It won't be easy for us to collect medicine in the future..."
"Does everyone in the temple know this news?" Qiao Youning asked.
The two nodded and said they knew everything.
"That's it..."
Qiao Youning sighed, the killing intent in her eyes fleeting, and she seemed to have given up on getting rid of the two monks in front of her.
"Then you continue to stay here and I'll go up and take a look."
"This may not work... The temple just told us..." The male monk was startled, but before he could continue to say anything, the female monk on the side suddenly tugged on his robe and kept looking at him. Tell him not to talk nonsense.
The mountain range is closed and no entry or exit is allowed.
This was an instruction given casually by the elder of the temple.
Even if they have to abide by it, within this scope... As a temple saint, Qiao Youning will naturally not be bound by it. Even if the elders are here, they can't stop Qiao Youning from going up the mountain.
Because she is not only "one of our own" within the temple, but also the hope of the [Big Buddha Mother Temple]. She is the only monk in thousands of years who can achieve perfect compatibility with the Buddha Mother... All of this has happened not long ago. It was decided during the celebration.
so.
Even the elders can't criticize her for whatever she wants to do.
"I'll take a few friends up the mountain for a walk. Is that okay?" Qiao Youning smiled softly.
"No, no!" the female monk spoke first, not daring to let the male monk beside her speak nonsense, "Since you are a friend of the Holy Lady, you are a friend of our temple, please!"
After receiving this answer, Qiao Youning stopped wasting time and turned around, leading Chen Jing and the others towards the depths of Yukong Mountain.
Looking at the backs of their group.
The female monk let out a long sigh of relief, then glared viciously at her partner beside her.
"Mo Nangkong, have you forgotten who the person standing in front of you is? How dare you stop the Holy Lady if she wants to enter the mountain?"
"..."
"Besides, if something bad happens because of the saint's intrusion into the mountain... we won't be held responsible. After all, we don't have the guts to stop her."
"Xuerou'er, I just think those people around the Holy Lady are weird."
Mo Nongkong frowned, looking at the figures gradually disappearing in the forest, with a somewhat wary expression on his face.
"The aura of those two women is very strange. They should be from the outside world. They are definitely not the old descendants of our Jizhou City. As for that man..."
"That man is quite good-looking." Xue Rou'er licked her lips, her plump figure couldn't help but squirm, "If the saintly lady hadn't been here, I would have really wanted to give him a gift..."
For monks like them who are "loving to give", Chen Jing is simply a perfect recipient of alms, especially with that outrageous face. Xue Rou'er firmly believes that no monk who is keen on alms would do anything to him. He is not moved.
"He is very dangerous." Mo Nankong frowned and interrupted the woman, his expression becoming more solemn.
"How is it dangerous?" Xue Rou'er felt that he was making a fuss, and couldn't help laughing, "How dangerous can a mortal who is not even an old descendant be?"
Mo Nankong didn't say anything else.
Because he remembered Chen Jing's clear and bright eyes.
That's right.
In those seemingly gentle eyes, there was an extreme indifference.
Just like the stars in the night sky.
Beautiful but cold.
It overlooked the world with an indifferent attitude.
"You don't even use your brain to think about it..."
Mo Nankong sneered, no longer paying attention to the infatuated Xue Rou'er, and turned to walk towards the village.
"How can a mortal follow the Saint Lady into the mountains?"
