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

As the young novice monk slowly approached them, Su Wu felt an unprecedented sense of oppression rise in his heart for some reason.

It is much stronger than the bull demon that was previously at the Qi Condensation Realm!

Even the sensation of breathing was suppressed, and the rhythm and frequency began to become disordered.

However, at that moment, Liu Dashan spoke up.

"There's no such thing as a junior master."

"I have something I'd like to ask your abbot."

"I just happened to be passing by the dining hall and thought I'd stop in for a look."

Upon hearing Liu Dashan's words, a smile instantly appeared on the little monk's face. The oppressive feeling that Su Wu had previously experienced also vanished without a trace in that instant, as if the oppressive feeling had never existed.

"Gentlemen, you should have said so earlier. Lanyin Temple is vast and its architecture is intricate. It's easy to get lost wandering around Lanyin Temple late at night."

"I will take you to see the abbot now."

As he spoke, the young novice smiled and gestured for everyone to proceed, then walked at the front to lead the way.

Seeing this, Liu Dashan waved to those behind him, signaling everyone to follow.

He then gestured to Su Wu to slow down their pace and land in the center of the crowd.

Looking at the thin back of the young novice monk in front of him, Su Wu's eyes revealed a murderous intent. He lowered his voice and quietly made a throat-slitting gesture to Liu Dashan.

"Uncle Liu, should we take advantage of this young monk's momentary lapse in attention and try to seize a chance for his survival?"

However, when faced with Su Wu's question, Liu Dashan gently shook his head and cautiously spoke to Su Wu.

"This young novice monk is quite powerful; we can't fathom his true strength at all. It would be very risky to attack him rashly."

"If it works out, great; but if it doesn't, we might all have to stay here today."

Liu Dashan paused at this point.

"It doesn't really matter if I stay, but it would be a huge loss if I didn't even see the truth before I died."

"If we're going to die, we should at least find out the truth before we die!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wu nodded slightly.

Liu Dashan was right. If he were to die here now, without even uncovering a corner of the mystery surrounding Lanyin Temple, he would certainly die unwillingly.

Even if you were to be reborn in the next life, you still might not be able to escape.

Having made up his mind, Su Wu followed Liu Dashan and went after the young novice monk.

Then, the group followed the young novice monk out the door and headed towards the main hall.

Strangely enough, ever since the little novice monk appeared, the scene around them gradually became bright and clean, and even the streetlights were lit with candles, illuminating the surroundings.

This stark contrast created an unprecedented sense of disparity in everyone's hearts.

They even began to doubt whether what they had seen in the dining hall was an illusion.

But those very real feelings cannot be faked.

Even now, Wu Dameng and Wu Er's stomachs are still churning uncontrollably.

Along the way, Su Wu secretly reached out and wiped the streetlights and windows around him, and found that without exception, his hands were spotless and very clean.

"Is it a hallucination? Or has the entire scene really changed?"

Looking at the scene before him, Su Wu felt his doubts growing deeper and deeper.

"Never mind, we'll find out when we see the abbot."

While they were pondering, the group, led by the young novice monk, passed through the winding corridor and arrived at the main hall where they had offered incense earlier that day.

Although it was nighttime, the temple was brightly lit with incense and countless candles.

There was absolutely no sign of anything strange about it.

"Please wait a moment, distinguished guests."

The young novice greeted everyone and then jogged towards the hall.

Before long, the young novice monk came running out and bowed respectfully to everyone.

"Distinguished guests, please enter."

The young novice monk added a sentence to the crowd after saying this.

"It is nighttime now, and there are not many people in the hall. You distinguished guests may go inside and wait."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, then without further ado, they stepped into the hall.

Before long, the group entered the magnificent golden hall.

The aroma of incense filling the hall was so enticing that it instantly soothed everyone and dispelled the previous sense of oppression and tension.

The old monk, who was the abbot of Lanyin Temple, was calmly leaning on a cane as he walked out of the side hall next to the main hall.

His face was full of compassionate smiles.

"Distinguished guests, what brings you here to see this old monk so late at night instead of resting?"

Faced with the question, Su Wu and the others fell silent.

Seeing this, the old abbot Mingyuan waved to the young novice monk standing at the door.

"Huineng, go wait outside first, I'll call you later."

Upon hearing this, the young monk Huineng quickly skipped away from the doorway, leaving everyone and the old abbot alone in a hall.

"Now, can you all speak?"

Faced with Mingyuan's question, everyone turned their attention to Liu Dashan.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Mingyuan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes, looking at Liu Dashan in front of him with some unexpectedness.

When the others entered the hall earlier, he hadn't paid much attention to Liu Dashan. He never expected that the people behind him would follow his lead.

Faced with the gazes of the crowd, Liu Dashan did not speak immediately, but instead turned his gaze to the magnificent Buddha statue sitting high on the main seat in the main hall.

"Venerable monk, I don't seem to recognize the large Buddha statue in your Lanyin Temple."

"It seems that there is no Buddha with this appearance in the painting of Buddhas."

Upon hearing this, Mingyuan paused for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Dashan.

"This layperson has a good eye!"

"This Buddha is not the Buddha worshipped by ordinary people."

"This is a golden statue that was created and carved by the followers of my Lanyin Temple."

"He was the founder of our Lanyin Temple."

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at the enormous golden statue.

But after what happened at the dining hall, the crowd was still somewhat skeptical about the true appearance of the golden statue before them.

Liu Dashan, however, spoke to Mingyuan without any hesitation.

"He refused to accept the orthodox Buddhist position and instead performed the Fengshan ceremony on his own."

"So that means your vast Lanyin Temple doesn't worship righteous gods, but evil spirits?"

"It's not an evil spirit." Before Liu Dashan could finish speaking, Mingyuan, who was standing in front of him, spoke up with some displeasure.

"The patriarch never harmed anyone, and he received offerings from the people. He could grant people's wishes, so how could he be an evil spirit?"

"I hope that lay Buddhists will not slander the patriarch!"
