Chapter 263 Unforeseen circumstances
None of them expected that the king would be so powerful that he would really kill all the monks.
It was raining heavily that day, and thick dark clouds covered the sky, leaving only lightning and thunder raging between the sky and the earth.
Their small temple originally had its own name, called the Temple of Yuanfen.
Although the small temple is very small, it has everything it should have. The reason why the temple was built in this place is because it is the closest place to the mountains and forests.
The first host hoped to bring some popularity to this deserted place by building the temple in this place and also give passers-by more resting place.
Although the conditions were indeed very difficult and the reputation did not spread further, the wish of the first host was realized.
Later, many people really came to this place, and some pedestrians saw hope of survival at the end of their journey.
Gradually, their small temple has become famous for its tens of miles in this radius, and gradually someone has come to support them.
Because the king was kind and kind to the poor in the world, and everyone praised the temples that helped others.
So their small temple is still quite good.
But immediately afterwards, the king suddenly changed, and the first thing that was suffering was some temples on the other side of the main city.
All the people were killed, and there was no chance to return to secular life.
I don’t know why the king gave up this small one, and there were some places to declare, leaving them a way out.
No, maybe it's not a way to live.
Those families living nearby moved out because they were afraid of causing trouble. After decades of business, they instantly returned to the beginning.
Although the king did not send anyone to strangle the small temple, they could not buy food.
Whether they return to the secular world or not, they cannot get a little incense, and they also want to go out to beg for alms in order to find their own humble life.
They went to pray for those they had helped, and unexpectedly, no one was willing to receive them except for some older people who were more sympathetic to them.
It seems that they are the least shameful existence in this world. The old host doesn’t understand, and the little novice monks don’t understand.
Later, the old host starved to death. He gave the last piece of grass cake to the young host at that time.
He said: "People always have to die, it's just a time to part. I have no regrets in my life, but it's just a pain for you."
In this way, the old host died, and the young novice monk became the current host.
He hoped to find a way to rescue him. He had naively thought about going to the main city to seek defense from the king, so that he could open his eyes to see this world that he had ruined into this way.
He is not worthy of being a king.
Of course, the host was young and energetic at that time. When he went there, the king ignored him and directly asked someone to beat him out. From then on, some disabilities fell on his legs, but fortunately, his life was not lost.
The young host turned into an old host overnight. He wanted to rescue the other young monks, but could not do it.
In time, these monks have returned to secular life, but what else do they do besides chanting scriptures? Those who work hard are disdainful to look for them, and those who are technical are unwilling to like them.
They can't do anything other than waiting to die on the spot.
Maybe there is another way out, but the host can't think of it.
Suddenly one day, the host dreamed that he received the enlightenment of the Bodhisattva, saying that in a few days, a monk from the Tang Dynasty from the East Tu will pass by the Wuji Kingdom with a few strange lands.
The Bodhisattva told him that this monk might change the current situation.
So these days, the old monk has been waiting for news from Ye Yunyang and his group, until now, they are standing here.
They are not just them, they carry the hope of the old monk, the hope of the survival of all people in this temple, and the turning point in the rewriting of the fate of this country.
The old monk told Ye Yunyang and his party all this, and the palace was silent.
The first person to speak out was Ye Yunyang. He had never heard the system mention this paragraph. Even if he knew that there would be such a plot, he just heard it and existed in the text and had never really seen it.
But he has seen it now.
The skinny monks folded their hands together, lowered their heads slightly, and closed their eyes tightly. Ye Yunyang felt unwilling to accept it when he saw them.
Since he saw it, Ye Yunyang would not ignore it. This was not a very difficult thing for him. For this group of monks who only had one hope, this was their destiny.
After hearing Ye Yunyang's determination, the old monk just smiled faintly and did not ask them to do anything very excitedly: "Elder Ye, I thank you for your kindness here first."
"But, I hope Elder Ye can think about this matter again. The danger coefficient of this matter is too great. I don't want you to bear the price because of us."
Many monks stopped their work, folded their hands together, and bowed to Ye Yunyang: "Amitabha."
Ye Yunyang opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Zhu Bajie could no longer help it.
He patted his chest, pushed his big belly up, and promised directly to the old monk: "Don't worry! Our magic power is all about it! Since we know this, we will never sit idly!"
"That's it! Wouldn't it be too cruel if we just left like this!" Monk Sha agreed loudly.
Sun Wukong on the other side also jumped around on the spot for a few times, took out the golden cudgel from his ear, played in his hand a few times, and said, "I, Old Sun, have no other skills, and I still have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons! Don't worry, we will definitely save you!"
The old monk looked at Ye Yunyang, and Ye Yunyang also smiled and said, "Since we have here, you also have guidance in your dreams. It is a kind of fate. We will never stand by and watch."
After hearing the words of several people, the old monk changed his calm appearance. He was so excited that his beard began to tremble. He was so excited that he led the monks in the entire small temple to bow to Ye Yunyang, Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong and Sha.
This scene was shocking. The dying people grabbed the only life-saving straw at hand. What flashed in their eyes was not the desire to survive, but the peace of death.
In other words, they hope that Ye Yunyang and his group could take them out of the predicament, but they also knew that this hope was really too small. They would not give up on hope, but they were also calm about death.
