Demon Suppression Division: Starting as a Jailer in the Cycle of Reincarnation to Become a Martial G

"Uncle Liu..."

Behind Wu Dameng, Su Wu spoke softly to Liu Dashan.

However, before Su Wu could finish speaking, Liu Dashan gently patted his shoulder.

"Shh, don't speak."

"This is an ancient and sacred place; do not speak carelessly."

As they spoke, their eyes met, and Liu Dashan's gaze flickered as he secretly nodded to Su Wu.

Upon seeing this, Su Wu immediately understood that Liu Dashan must have also noticed something amiss.

After all, the two of them were practicing the same version of the Demon-Suppressing Stance. Since Su Wu could sense the coming and going of Yin Sha, Liu Dashan could definitely sense it as well.

The reason they were not allowed to make a sound was probably to avoid disturbing the evil spirits within the temple.

Judging from the actions of Wu Dameng and Wu Er, they seemed completely unaware of this anomaly.

"It seems that the Demon-Suppressing Stake has been completely different simply by changing a few words of the incantation."

Next, we'll just have to play it by ear.

That evil spirit might be hiding in some corner of the temple, or it might still be under suppression. In any case, try not to provoke it.

While they were pondering, the young novice monk had already led everyone to a large hall.

The main hall was resplendent in gold and green, with worshippers kneeling inside. Incense smoke swirled outside the door, and four large characters were inscribed on the plaque.

Unbelievable!

Looking at that incredible plaque, everyone present stared in disbelief.

"Little Master, the name of your main hall is truly incredible!"

Wu Dameng asked the young novice monk with some curiosity.

"Does this have any special meaning?"

When asked by the group, the young novice monk explained with a smile.

"This is an original work left by the Patriarch Huiming."

"Its meaning is beyond comprehension, beyond discussion, beyond inconceivable."

Upon hearing the young novice's explanation, a look of understanding instantly appeared in Wu Dameng's eyes.

"I understand, so you mean the Buddhist concept of 'emptiness of the four elements'?"

Faced with Wu Dameng's explanation, the young novice neither admitted nor denied it.

"Everyone has a different interpretation of this."

"Whatever you think, that's fine."

At this point, the young novice monk bowed respectfully to everyone.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I will go and invite the abbot of the hall."

Immediately, the young novice monk trotted into the hall.

Before long, an old monk with a white beard and eyebrows, wearing a bright yellow robe, a string of prayer beads in his hand, and bearing a scar on his head, slowly walked out of the hall.

He looked up at the crowd, his gaze sweeping over them equally, and then clasped his hands together in prayer.

"You must be distinguished guests from the Demon Prison of Lin'an Town, right?"

"This old monk, Mingyuan, is the abbot of this place."

"May I ask what brings you distinguished guests here?"

Faced with Mingyuan's question, Wu Er, who was standing to the side, spoke up impatiently.

"Nothing much, we just got lost."

"I want to go back now."

"Abbot, do you have a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyuan's white eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Are any of you lost?"

"Yes," Wu Dameng explained to Mingyuan with a humble expression.

"We ran into some trouble while on a mission."

"I was blocked by demons on the way, so I had no choice but to hide in the deep mountains and followed the mountain path to your temple."

"Does the abbot have any way to allow us to return?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyuan gently turned the prayer beads in his hand, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"It's simple for you distinguished guests to get back; you just need to walk down the mountain and follow the path back."

"But if the demons you speak of are not eliminated, I fear that even if you descend the mountain, your lives will be in danger."

"If this old monk's prediction is correct, that demon will probably not let you go easily."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Mingyuan was right. Given the nature of those three young chicken spirits, if they encountered them, they definitely wouldn't let them go.

Wu Dameng, on the other hand, is still quite clear-headed.

"Does the abbot possess the means to subdue demons?"

When asked by Wu Dameng, Mingyuan hesitated.

"Our temple does have some methods to suppress demons, but we cannot leave this place."

Even if we send someone to escort you down the mountain, it doesn't guarantee your safety.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened.

If what Mingyuan said is true, then it's still not very safe for them to go down the mountain.

"But we can't stay on this mountain forever, can we?"

Wu Er, standing to the side, was getting anxious.

"Does your temple have any signal flares or similar items?"

When asked, Mingyuan shook his head.

"Nothing here, nothing there..."

At this moment, Wu Er's emotions became increasingly agitated.

"Then what kind of temple do you run?"

Seeing Wu Er's agitated state, Abbot Mingyuan smiled and turned the prayer beads.

"Don't be anxious, benefactor. Getting angry will harm your health."

"If you gentlemen are afraid to go down the mountain, you may stay here in the temple."

"As for the signal you speak of, it is nothing more than a means to request reinforcements."

"How about this, I'll send someone down the mountain to Lin'an City to inform you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

But there was still worry in Wu Dameng's eyes.

"But Abbot, aren't you afraid of the demons when you send people down the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Mingyuan laughed heartily.

"Our Lanyin Temple has been able to live here for hundreds of years, and we have our own methods for providing for our needs."

"The people I sent down the mountain, let alone suppress demons, are certainly capable of protecting themselves."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mingyuan smiled and gave instructions to the novice monk beside him.

"Communication down the mountain takes time."

"Go and instruct your disciples to prepare a vegetarian meal for these distinguished guests."

"We'll also prepare accommodations for them to stay overnight."

Upon hearing this, the young novice monk quickly took his leave.

Wu Dameng immediately bowed to Mingyuan.

"In that case, we will trouble the abbot."

As she spoke, Wu Dameng seemed to feel guilty and quickly greeted Su Wu and the others.

"Brothers, bring out all the gold, silver, valuables, or anything else of value you have on you."

"Consider it a donation to Lanyin Temple."

However, upon seeing this, Mingyuan simply smiled and waved his hand.

"Distinguished guests, there's no need for such formalities."

"We monks don't talk about money, we only talk about fate."

"To be able to meet is fate."

"Moreover, it is because of the existence of your Demon Suppression Division that the common people of the world have a place to live and make a living in this chaotic world."

Seeing this, everyone felt even more favorably toward Mingyuan.

As they spoke, the young novice monk jogged over.

"Distinguished guests, the food is ready."

Please move to the dining hall.

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and thanked Mingyuan again. After saying goodbye, they turned and followed the young novice monk toward the dining hall.

Watching the departing figures of the crowd, Mingyuan gently turned the prayer beads in his hand, his brows and eyes still bearing that kind and compassionate smile, looking very benevolent.

Only after watching everyone leave did he turn back to look at the main hall, his gaze fixed on the plaque above.

"Inconceivable, beyond discussion."

"That's incredible."
