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

Seeing Mingyuan's somewhat displeased expression, Liu Dashan quickly changed the subject.

Su Wu also stepped in to smooth things over at this moment.

"The abbot is right."

"As long as one's intentions are good, what does it matter whether it is orthodox or not?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyuan looked in the direction of Su Wu with some surprise, his eyes full of admiration for Su Wu.

"I never imagined that this young benefactor would possess such enlightenment and wisdom at such a young age."

"He truly is a child with a connection to Buddhism."

"It's alright." Su Wu replied calmly in response to Mingyuan's praise.

He then paused for a moment, looking at Mingyuan before him.

"Abbot Mingyuan, we have come here with a request."

In Su Wu's mind, if everything tonight was really orchestrated by this abbot, who possessed such supernatural power to deceive everyone, he would probably have already noticed something amiss.

Since that's the case, why not be frank and open with each other? Then both sides can have a point to make.

Since he was prepared to die at any time, he just wanted to figure out what was wrong with the temple before he died.

When Su Wu spoke up, Mingyuan sat up straight and clasped his hands together in front of Su Wu and the others.

"You are all distinguished guests of our temple, and today you are below the Buddha's throne. If you have any requests, we would not dare to refuse."

Seeing that Mingyuan was so easy to talk to, Su Wu, Liu Dashan, and the jailer behind them all frowned slightly at the same time.

Having witnessed those bizarre scenes, they didn't believe that Mingyuan would be so easy to talk to.

But what needs to be said still needs to be said.

Su Wu didn't hide anything and immediately told Mingyuan his thoughts.

"Abbot, we want to leave."

"Abbot, could you please allow us to leave?"

Upon hearing Su Wu's request, Mingyuan was momentarily stunned.

He gently turned the prayer beads in his hand, looking at Su Wu and the others with some doubt.

"Your distinguished guests are all free individuals; what is there to discuss regarding whether to release them or not?"

"The reason our temple is allowing you to stay overnight is simply because we are concerned about the dangers of traveling at night and the possibility of being disturbed by demons."

"If you have no fear, you may leave whenever you wish."

At this point, Mingyuan looked puzzled.

"But what did Hansi do wrong? His words and actions contained an element of coercion, chilling the hearts of our distinguished guests and causing this misunderstanding?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wu and the others fell silent.

On the surface, Lanyin Temple seemed to have treated them very well.

At least there was never any intention of coercion.

It was only because everything that had happened near the palace was so strange that they couldn't help but think of leaving.

Thinking of this, Su Wu quickly clasped his hands respectfully to Ming Yuan in front of him and spoke.

"It's not that the abbot was unkind, it's just that we..."

"I'm not used to living here, I'm anxious, and I want to leave."

Hearing Su Wu's reply, Mingyuan frowned even more.

Are you having trouble adjusting to the new place? Are you feeling anxious?

"Did any of you have a nightmare today?"

"Nightmare?" Su Wu and the others were taken aback upon hearing this.

Mingyuan nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"Our Lanyin Temple was originally built on a mass burial ground. It was chosen because there were many monks in the temple and the yang energy was strong, so we chose this location to achieve harmony between yin and yang."

"But because of this, the temple is occasionally disturbed by the evil forces of the earth, which can cause nightmares."

At this point, Mingyuan gently turned his prayer beads and looked out into the deep night sky outside the temple.

"Of course, there are also some demons who covet those who stay in our temple, but they dare not enter the temple to commit crimes. They can only deliberately take the opportunity to activate the earthly evil spirits, create illusions for people, and force them out of the temple."

"This makes it so easy for them to commit murder."

At this point, Mingyuan let out a soft sigh.

"This situation often occurs at night, when the atmosphere between heaven and earth is filled with demonic and malevolent energy."

"Our Lanyin Temple has limited manpower, and most of our demon-suppressing methods are performed within the temple. For those pilgrims who insist on leaving the temple, we can only pray in secret."

As he spoke, Mingyuan looked at Su Wu and the others with a face full of pity.

"Distinguished guests, were you just startled by some nightmare?"

Hearing Mingyuan's concerned inquiry, Su Wu and the others behind him all fell silent.

They were initially quite certain that something very unusual was happening at Lanyin Temple.

But after Mingyuan's explanation, it turned out to be less than three points.

Even Su Wu, who witnessed everything at this moment, began to doubt whether he had been bewitched by the illusion of evil energy.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, Mingyuan knew that he had probably guessed the key point.

"It seems that you distinguished guests have indeed seen something you should not have seen, and have developed a fear of our temple."

At this point, Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Wu and the others with concern.

"If it's convenient, could you please speak with this humble monk?"

Seeing the concerned look Mingyuan was giving them, Su Wu hesitated for a moment before giving a brief explanation.

"To be honest, Abbot, we have indeed experienced many strange things before."

Then, Su Wu recounted his previous experiences in detail.

He simply concealed the fact that he, Liu Dashan, and Wu Er had fought.

He only mentioned that he saw Wu Dameng and the Stone Brothers acting strangely.

Seeing that Su Wu was coming clean, Liu Dashan also recounted his experiences in the room.

And then explain everything I saw in the dining hall afterwards.

After everything was explained, Su Wu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

Anyway, my purpose in coming here this time is to find out the truth and prepare for the next life.

Whether one lives or dies is no longer important.

Hearing the two speak, Mingyuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Dying and coming back to life, an endless loop?"

He looked up at Wu Dameng and the others behind Su Wu.

"Does the benefactor mean that these people die as soon as they go to the toilet, their faces become distorted, they turn into some kind of monster, and then they disappear?"

"Repeating endlessly?"

"Even on your way to our main hall, passing by the dining hall, you saw everything decaying, and the noodles had turned into worms?"

Faced with Mingyuan's question, Su Wu, Liu Dashan, and Wu Dameng and the others behind them nodded solemnly.

Upon seeing this, Mingyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Esteemed benefactors, this is an obvious illusion."

"You are clearly possessed by the Earthly Fiends, which has clouded your minds and caused you to hallucinate, thus allowing you to see these absurd and bizarre sights."

"Our Lanyin Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the area, with flourishing incense offerings. How could it be so dilapidated and decaying, even to the point of feeding people with insects?"

"Not to mention the scene of the dead coming back to life in a never-ending cycle, which is clearly bizarre and not like a proper sight."

At this point, Mingyuan pointed to the brightly lit scene inside the hall.

"With such bright lights, how could there be any sign of decline?"

However, upon hearing Mingyuan's explanation, Su Wu raised an eyebrow and looked at Mingyuan.

"But Abbot, how can you prove that this brightly lit scene before us is not a delusion or an illusion?"
