Chapter 62
Chen Wu walked into the Main Hall, and no incense or candle was lit in the hall. With the help of the moonlight, he saw that the chairman Shi Yannian was facing his back to the door.
Shi Yannian stayed alone in the open Main Hall, holding Master Jingyi's cassock in both hands and facing the Buddha statue, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Host…”
Chen Wu called out twice at the door, but Shi Yannian did not respond.
"Host?"
Chen Wu stepped into the hall with a complicated expression.
Shi Yannian turned around and burst into tears.
—————
When he appeared in front of others again, Shi Yannian returned to his calm and extraordinary hosting posture.
He was the host of Putuo Temple and the Dinghai Sword for these survivors and monks.
He cannot collapse, or even show sadness in front of others.
Although the beast tide dispersed, the crisis in Putuo Temple was not over.
The damaged temple wall cannot be repaired in a short period of time. In order to avoid mutant beasts sneaking in and attacking, all survivors were transferred to the front hall and the side hall for a temporary escape.
The mutant beast tide caused more than 2,000 casualties. That night, many seriously injured survivors died in pain because they could not receive surgical treatment.
Among them, the casualties of advanced evolvers are more obvious, the mortality rate of 4th-level evolvers is nearly half, and the loss of 40% is more than 40%.
The blow this time was huge. The temple elder Master Jingyi passed away, and many monks felt pessimistic.
Buddhism does not advocate the doomsday theory, but now this world is the end of reincarnation.
All night, everyone in Putuo Temple cleaned up the mess and rebuilt a relatively closed area.
The mountain gate that Shi Dalong guarded desperately was meaningless. The open door hole was filled with wind. Compared with the temperature during the day, the temperature dropped sharply tonight.
It was the early morning of the next day to arrange the aftermath affairs in the temple.
Shi Yannian found Chen Wu alone.
"For this great beast tide, Putuo Temple thanks Taoist Master for his help."
Shi Yannian bowed to the ground and prayed for a long time.
"You must not be in charge! Suppressing evil spirits and helping the people is the ancestors' teachings when their ancestors pass on the Tao and receive their careers. This is the matter of the small Tao."
Chen Wu sighed and said, "If the master had not sacrificed himself to feed the tiger, Xiaodao would probably not be able to turn the world..."
"The abbot often says that the cause and reincarnation arise and reincarnation. At this time, sitting and transforming is the infinite merit of saving the world and saving the people!"
Shi Yannian said emotionally, his face still couldn't stop being sad.
"What's more, I think he had expected all this..."
Shi Yannian choked up and talked about a past story.
Shi Yannian was a stole child. He was abandoned by his parents since childhood and left on the streets. He was a naughty son who could not even be disciplined by the young management office.
At that time, he had no name, and others only called him a little thief.
One night thirty years ago, he was hungry and cold, staring at the temple merit box where he was relaxed in defense but had Yucai.
He slipped into the temple and almost succeeded.
Just that night, Master Jingyi went out to return to the temple.
The monk patrols more and just catches him who steals the merit box of money.
After hearing this, Master Jingyi not only did not send him to the police, but instead opened the merit box and let him take it for himself!
The monk was puzzled, and the master smiled but refused to answer.
He was stunned and actually took the money and ran down the mountain!
At the foot of the mountain, he used the money to eat a hot wonton, made of pure meat.
When I met someone I knew, I asked him: "Little thief, where did you make money this time?"
He kept silent and turned to the barber stall and shaved his head.
Then I went up the mountain.
Master Jingyi seemed to know that he was coming back, so he was waiting for him in the front hall.
After that, thanks to the careful teaching of the master, he gradually grew into a qualified monk and was given the Dharma name: Shi Yannian.
Ten years of hardships of cold and heat will be added to the ten years of winter and summer.
Shi Yannian no longer expected. He took over the position of hosting Putuo Temple five years ago, spreading Dharma and Jici, and had a good management. Putuo Temple has been in full swing since then and has been visited endlessly. It is known as the No. 1 temple in eastern Guangdong.
This is why, even if Master Jingyi doesn’t like being disturbed after retirement, Shi Yannian will ask you three times a day, and he will speak softly every time he asks you.
Master Jingyi is not only his abbot.
It's also his father!
After listening to this past incident, Chen Wu felt even more respectful to Master Jingyi.
A monk who has attained enlightenment must have had the Taoist practice of seeing through opportunities. No wonder he is so free and easy.
"The evil spirits are just retreating temporarily. In order to ensure the safety of the situation, the path will stay in the temple for a longer time and leave when the number of evolved people in the temple increases and they have the power to protect themselves."
Chen Wu said in a deep voice that he was not just a mere repaid Master Yi, but actually he also had the idea of using the Putuo Temple treasure land to restore his mental power and absorb spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy and evolutionary beads of the advanced skeleton brought a big explosion to Chen Wu, which reversed the situation. However, one day later, Chen Wu found that his mental power had not increased at all. Instead, his mind was even shrunk due to excessive overdrawing.
It seems that the power infused from the outside is ultimately not as reliable as the one who can steadily fight.
The spiritual energy storage in the Pixiu Jade Person also changed to [weak] again, and the body-protecting spirit armor can only be turned on for 0.1 second.
Therefore, Chen Wu planned to stay for a while, at least after the fifth Blue Moon Tide, he decided to stay or stay.
"It is naturally great that the Taoist priest is willing to stay."
Shi Yannian responded with full advice. Chen Wu and his group were very powerful. After the mutant beast tide incident, they also won the trust of the people of Putuo Temple. The skeleton soldiers did not consume food, so they were simply useless to give a team of powerful allies.
Shi Yannian was busy with many reconstruction matters, so he left in a hurry.
Chen Wuze strolls in the square in front of the hall to check out his skeleton legion.
The mutant beast tide is the basic plate of evil spirits, and the Skeleton Legion is Chen Wu's basic plate.
The fourth-level iron bone skeleton Chen Gangtie performed very well. According to Yu Xingdan, although Chen Gangtie and two other third-level hard bone skeletons did not kill many enemies, they took on the burden of blocking the door.
Although it only has 4th level, it blocked the front hall gate like steel, so that the survivors inside did not suffer slaughter.
It’s a pity that Chen Gangtie and the hard bone skeleton transformed from zombies cannot absorb bone marrow and evolve. Chen Wu tried to let them absorb the skeletons of the skeleton beasts and found that there was no qualitative breakthrough except for repairing and enhancing the damaged bones.
The biggest gain comes from the skeleton soldiers.
Yu Xingdan and Bai Gu broke through to level 5 one after another.
Human Magic Warrior (level 5)
Specializes in swordsmanship, specializes in short weapons fighting, specializes in axes, and proficient in long weapons fighting. [Note: Strong element affinity, strong fire resistance, extremely strong toxic resistance, and strong yin evil resistance].
Chen Wu seemed to be thinking.
In addition to the original resistance, Yu Xingdan has another anti-yin evil attribute. It seems that the combination of magic warriors and elemental affinity can allow him to develop layer by layer resistance in constant battles.
Maybe you can eventually develop the indestructible body of Vajra.
Yu Xingdan's leather armor had been scratched and was already broken. He borrowed a wide monk's robe from the monk to avoid excessive friction between the clothes and the blood-stained skin.
The changes in white bones can be seen with the naked eye.
