Chapter 102: The Past of Wangchuan Town
On the way to Canaan Temple.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you before, what happened to the town before?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
"Do you remember the red-dressed witch we met at the border of Han Kingdom?"
Li Ao said.
"Of course I remember. I almost died there."
Lin Yixuan said.
"The witch in red came from Ji Country. She was called a witch because she sacrificed the people of the entire town."
Li Ao explained.
(What does that have to do with the town, does it?)
Lin Yixuan looked surprised.
Li Ao looked at Lin Yixuan's shocked expression.
(I just like seeing your shocked faces.) He continued.
"You're right. The town where the sacrifice took place is the Wangchuan Town we just passed by. And according to my old man, it seems that love turned into hatred, so the entire town was sacrificed alive."
(Is there such a thing? Cultivating immortals really makes people crazy, and they become neither human nor ghost.)
Lin Yixuan sighed.
In front of the Canaan Temple.
The two tried to enter the temple but were stopped.
"I've already said that we are friends of your Senior Brother Wuchen, so just let us in."
Li Ao said.
"No, Senior Brother Wuchen has been put in solitary confinement by the abbot and cannot see anyone. You should wait until Senior Brother has been punished before coming."
Said the monk who blocked the road.
"Then when will your Senior Brother Wuchen come out?"
Li Ao asked.
"This, I am not very clear about it."
The monk guarding the gate said.
"I........"
Li Ao was choked and speechless.
(If it were anywhere else, I would have beaten him up long ago, but now that we are on someone else’s territory, let it go!)
Lin Yixuan patted Li Ao on the shoulder and said.
"Well, let me do it!"
"Young Master, is Master Miaoxin here?"
Lin Yixuan asked the monk guarding the gate.
"Master Miaoxin is here."
The monk replied.
"Then we are here to ask to see Master Miao Xin."
Lin Yixuan said.
"No, didn't you say before that you came to see Senior Brother Wuchen?"
The monk guarding the gate retorted.
"We came to see Senior Brother Wuchen just for the sake of convenience. He is now in solitary confinement and we cannot disturb him. The main reason is that we encountered something on the road and need to discuss something with Master Miaoxin about the matter of 'Wangchuan Town'!"
Lin Yixuan explained.
(Lethe Town? Oh, I almost forgot about that.)
"Yes, we are mainly here to discuss the matter of Wangchuan Town with Master Miaoxin."
Li Ao quickly agreed.
"Is that so? All right, then you guys go in. Master Miao Xin should be in the meditation room now."
The monk guarding the gate said.
Lin Yixuan raised an eyebrow at Li Ao, (Isn’t this settled?)
Li Ao gave Lin Yixuan a thumbs up, (It has to be you.)
The two walked into the temple, and as the melodious bells rang, they immediately felt relaxed.
"Do you know where Wuchen is being held in solitary confinement?"
Lin Yixuan asked quietly.
"How should I know? This is my first time here at the 'Canaan Temple' as well."
Li Ao looked around and saw the unfamiliar environment, and said it as a matter of course.
"Aren't you very familiar with him? I remember Wu Chen seemed to say that you two are from the same place."
Lin Yixuan said.
"That's true, but this is really my first time in this Canaan Temple."
Li Ao explained.
"It seems that I can only go and meet this Zen Master Miaoxin."
Lin Yixuan sighed and said.
After some inquiries, Lin Yixuan and Li Ao came to the door of Master Miaoxin's room. Just as they were about to knock on the door, a voice came from inside.
"Is this Donor Lin and Donor Li? Both of you come in."
A voice came from inside the door.
Lin Yixuan and Li Ao looked at each other.
(It seems that this Zen Master Miaoxin has something.)
The two of them pushed the door open and walked into the Zen room, speaking in unison.
"I have met Master Miaoxin."
At this time, Zen Master Miaoxin, who was meditating, opened his eyes and said.
"Amitabha, you are here to look for Wuchen, right?"
"I was originally looking for Wuchen, but now I have a few questions I would like to ask Master Miaoxin for advice."
Lin Yixuan spoke first.
"Oh? What's the problem? Ask it."
Zen Master Miaoxin seemed a little surprised.
(I thought these two guys were just looking for me as an excuse.)
"It's about the 'Forgotten Town'. Why don't you deal with it? Let so many souls wander outside, unable to enter reincarnation, and eventually become like monsters."
Lin Yixuan asked with a frown.
"Donor Lin, do you want to seek justice for the people of Wangchuan Town?"
Zen Master Miaoxin asked back.
Lin Yixuan thought for a moment and said.
"Yes and no, it's just that I feel a little pity to see so many souls of the people trapped in that special place. Besides, your 'Canaan Temple' is a Buddhist holy place, and it's so close? Can't you go and deal with it?"
Lin Yixuan questioned with a frown.
"Amitabha, this is a long story. It's not that we don't want to get involved, but we can't. I heard Wu Chen say that you and he met the red-dressed witch. Do you think she is a bloodthirsty person?"
"It's hard to say. We were the ones who broke in, and the other party didn't seem to want to take our lives at the beginning. Otherwise, we would have died long ago!"
Li Ao spoke first.
(The man tried to reason with us at first, but in the end he seemed to want to kill the monk because he knew his identity. He was later discovered and exposed, and then he fled.)
"I'm not sure, but at least the red-dressed witch we saw that day didn't seem like a bloodthirsty person."
Lin Yixuan answered uncertainly.
"Amitabha, good, good! Just know this. The town's affairs actually have a special cause and effect with Canaan Temple. I was indeed not thoughtful at the time. It is reasonable for the witch to resent the people of my 'Canaan Temple'!"
'Many years ago, I met a person who was predestined with my Buddha, and this person was also devoted to Buddha, so I naturally had to help him, but I didn't expect that he actually had a fiancée, and his fiancée was even a genius disciple of the 'Qionghua Immortal Sect'. When he decided to abandon everything in the world and come here, I asked him if he was ready. He said he was ready and began to close his mind. Then the genius woman of the 'Qionghua Immortal Sect' came to the door. The man did not agree to meet the woman and said that their relationship was over. I stopped the two of them from meeting, and the woman threatened the people of the whole town. At first, we all thought that the woman was just talking, but we didn't expect that the woman, in a rage, really sacrificed the people of the whole town and became the red-clothed female demon that everyone talked about. The man successfully broke through to the Jindan realm and came out of the retreat. After learning about the town's experience, he thought that all the faults were his. At the same time, I don't know where I got a crazy piece of news, that is, to refine the entire town into a part of myself, and sacrifice myself when I ascend to heaven in the future. Only in this way can the town have a chance to return to its original state.'
' Amitabha, well done, well done! '
