Chapter 103 Revisiting the Iron Buddha Temple

This time when we return to Lin'an, we must work discreetly; no firing a shot is allowed.

Moreover, if the second brother was possessed, it means that it was not the second brother who sent Meigensheng and the others to kill him!

And the cheapskate father also died.

The truth of the matter is now clear: the mastermind behind it all is undoubtedly the Buddhist sect led by the Garan Temple!

The cheap old man was a devout Buddhist. He offered himself to the Garan Temple three times in five years, each time paying more than 100 million coins to redeem himself. He even appointed Yuantong, the head of the Garan Temple, as the national preceptor.

Wu Cheng originally thought that his cheap father was just using them, just like in the TV series "Da Ming 1566" before he time-traveled. He didn't expect that he had really been fooled.

Looking at it this way, Luoyang Ling, Tiefo Temple, and Garan Temple are all on the same line, no wonder they all want to die.

But then another question arises: why do they insist on dying themselves?

Wu Cheng would never have guessed it before, but now he can figure it out!

The deceased empress had only three sons: the second son, Crown Prince Wu Wei; the third son, Prince Yu, Wu Ju; and the fourth son, Wu Cheng.

After the Empress passed away, the Emperor became obsessed with Buddhism. He didn't even bestow the title of Imperial Noble Consort, let alone the title of Empress. The highest-ranking officials at present are actually the two Noble Consorts, one of whom is Yang Yourong.

In other words, the emperor had only three legitimate sons.

The Buddhist sect has colluded with the Prince of Yu and has practically taken control of the Crown Prince. So even if Wu Cheng is an idiot, they must get rid of him!

Wu Cheng killed the third prince, returned to the capital only to be killed there, then possessed the crown prince at the Garan Temple, killed the emperor, framed Wu Cheng, and then killed himself...

This Great Yu then became entirely Buddhist!

Wu Cheng asked, "Master, when do you plan to go to the Iron Buddha Temple?"

Bodhidharma said in a deep voice, "This humble monk wishes to get there as soon as possible."

"Then why not set off today instead of another day?"

"That is exactly what I intend to do."

Shen Yeshu looked slightly puzzled. "Young Master, is there a need to be in such a hurry?"

In her opinion, the current pace is just right.

Bai Suying won't cause trouble now, and she can spend more time developing her relationship with Wu Cheng.

According to the previous life, the Great Yu Emperor would not pass away for another three years, at which time the new emperor would kill that senior from the Demonic Sect.

So all we need to do is rescue them before that happens.

In those three years, she had plenty of time to spend with Wu Cheng, and maybe the child would have even started talking by then.

Moreover, this opportunity can also be used to consolidate one's own breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

At that time, the Extinction of Emotions Sect had three innate grandmasters, including her, her master, and even Wu Cheng.

Unifying the Demonic Sect would then be a foregone conclusion, and could even reduce a lot of unnecessary internal strife.

Wu Cheng shook his head, "We can't wait any longer, things might change if we delay."

Leaving aside the fact that Li Anchan will soon be listed on the Hidden Dragon List, which will accelerate the actions of the Garan Temple.

Even if it means saving a few more children hiding in the Iron Buddha Temple, it would still be a good thing.

Shen Yeshu glanced at Wu Cheng.

She could tell that the young master seemed to be hiding something from her, but she wouldn't ask any further questions.

"Then let's set off now. Since we've already met up with Uncle Bodhidharma, it's good to go to Lin'an ahead of time to make preparations. However, it's best not to let everyone know about the Iron Buddha Temple incident."

After all, their rescue operation must not alert the enemy.

Wu Cheng understood immediately, "That's exactly right."

Last time, they used themselves as a decoy to attract public attention, and then acted secretly.

This time, since everyone was on their side, they gave up on the idea.

Not bad.

Wu Cheng was actually testing Shen Yeshu.

Last time, we were on different sides, which was fine, since I was a disciple of the Wentian Sect. If it were me, I would have tricked the other party too.

And to be honest, it wasn't a scam; it was my own choice, it's just that a lot of information was unclear.

This time, they're all on the same side. If they still want to make a name for themselves, Wu Cheng won't consider them his own people anymore after this job.

Fortunately, Shen Yeshu did not disappoint him.

"In that case, we should not delay. I will call Master back now. After we have settled the children, we will set off tonight."

"it is good."

By the time the children were settled, night had fallen.

The group then left the city at night and headed west.

The Iron Buddha Temple is located in Xin'an County, which is not far from Luoyang, but rather some distance from Jiangling City, where they live.

They traveled by land for six days, rushing as fast as they could, and finally arrived in Xin'an County.

The Iron Buddha Temple in Xin'an County was even more popular with worshippers than Wu Cheng remembered.

The stone steps in front of the mountain gate were polished to a shine by the cloth shoes of pilgrims, and the necks of the two stone lions were covered with red silk ribbons for blessings. The sound of the bronze bell in the Mahavira Hall could be heard even across a mountain ridge.

Wu Cheng, along with Qing Que and the others, sat under a tea stall by the mountain path, each holding a bowl of coarse tea. Their gazes passed over the swirling incense smoke and landed on the gilded plaque of the Iron Buddha Temple above the mountain gate.

Last time he came here, he fought his way in one sword at a time; this time, he doesn't intend to repeat the same path.

Before long, Qingque returned with Shen Yeshu.

"Young master, everything has been investigated. Abbot Yuanye of Tiefo Temple was presiding over a prayer ceremony at the temple today, which is why there are so many worshippers and believers."

Wu Cheng nodded slightly, "I wonder what the outcome will be for Master Fei Dao. Let's have some coarse tea and wait."

After waiting a moment, a woman in red descended from the sky.

Wu Cheng quickly asked, "Master Fei, how is it?"

Fei Yuan looked at him with her crimson eyes, and slowly uttered two words from beneath her veil, "Five."

Then she opened her little hands and raised them up.

Wu Cheng was startled, "What do you mean?"

Shen Yeshu translated: "Master means that there are five experts of your caliber in the Iron Buddha Temple, and about fifty skilled martial monks of considerable strength."

Wu Cheng suddenly realized, "I see."

That seems to make sense.

Last time, he led his men through a chaotic mess, but in the end, he only encountered Yuan Ye and those four middle-aged martial monks in the main hall.

In the end, Wu Cheng dealt with Yuan Ye on his own, his senior sister took down two, and Qing Que and Master Da Mo each took down one.

It seems that these five experts are indeed the five of them.

It's good that there wasn't a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, but if there had been a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, the last time wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Fei Yuan spoke again, "Two, below, eleven, fields."

Wu Cheng looked at Shen Yeshu.

Shen Yeshu continued translating, "There are a total of eleven children, all hidden in an underground secret room. There are two guards who take turns every two hours. Moreover, the people of Tiefo Temple are discussing matters concerning Luoyang City."

"The incident should have already occurred in Luoyang, but the people at Tiefo Temple do not know who killed the Luoyang magistrate and the Prince of Yu. They are worried that their illegal occupation of farmland might be exposed."

"Occupying farmland?" Shen Tu Lie spat. "Those bald monks don't produce anything or pay taxes, yet they dare to occupy the people's land? They're so damn greedy!"

"Amitabha." At this moment, Bodhidharma, who was not wearing a brocade robe to keep a low profile, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice. "I can no longer allow disciples of Mara like those at Tiefo Temple to continue to live in this world."
