"I, I'm leaving right now!"
The boatman had no choice but to throw his treasures down one by one. When he and the others landed, he only had a few gold ingots left on him, and the rest were thrown away.
"Oh, look at my life..."
The boatman patted his thigh with a look of regret: "God gave me a chance, but I couldn't seize it!"
"Boss of the boat, don't be greedy. That's enough." The giant god patted the boatman on the shoulder to enlighten him.
The boatman also quickly thought about it: "You are right, I have got so much gold, enough for me and my family to live a good life. People really can't be greedy, I am satisfied!"
Everyone rested on the shore for a while, then said goodbye to the boatman and headed to the next location - Mingde Town.
Before leaving, they asked the boatman about Mingde Town. The boatman told them that there was a Mingde Temple in Mingde Town and the incense was particularly strong.
Many people became monks at Mingde Temple, so more and more people gathered there, and gradually a small town was formed.
In other words, almost all people in the town are monks.
"This is quite new, we can go take a look."
The Dragon King is very interested in this, but the little princess Qian is very resistant. She is afraid that the Dragon King will "go astray" again and become a monk.
Mingde Temple is a place that the group must pass through. It is impossible to cross it, because after passing Mingde Temple, they enter the desert. Without enough food and water, they cannot cross the desert and reach Longweiguan Pass. .
In addition, it was getting late now, and they also needed to find a place to stay. They continued to travel, and after experiencing so many hard battles, it was time to take a good rest.
So everyone walked forward, climbed over two hills, and finally saw Mingde Town.
This is a small town. A huge golden Maitreya Buddha statue is located in the town. It can be seen from a long distance and is very conspicuous.
"As expected of a place built on Buddhist temples, the iconic building is the Buddha statue."
Sky's melancholy sighed.
"Then we can only eat vegetarian food when we go in? We can't even eat meat." Zhang Feng said with some distress.
Liu Yueying smiled and said: "If you want to eat meat, we can return to the real world. Besides, you and your brother eat meat every day on the grassland. Don't you have enough?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't like meat! If I don't eat meat for a day, my whole body will feel uncomfortable!" Zhang Feng said with a small mouth.
Zhang Ze squinted his eyes and stared at Mingde Town in the distance. Seeing the white smoke floating there and the huge Maitreya Buddha with a smiling face, he always felt that there was something wrong with this place.
"We don't know much about Mingde Town. Please be careful after entering. I have a hunch that something might happen."
Zhang Ze told everyone his concerns, and everyone knew that his intuition had always been accurate and they became more vigilant.
Entering Mingde Town, all the people walking on the streets are monks, and the scene of bald heads all over the streets looks quite spectacular.
The only main street in the town is lined with shops, but most of them are shops selling Buddha statues and incense candles. There are not even restaurants and hotels. Everyone is a little worried. How to solve the problem of eating and sleeping now?
Seeing that it was getting late, the giant god stopped a monk and asked him about it.
"Donors, if you want to eat and sleep, you can stay at Mingde Temple. They are very friendly to pilgrims there."
"If you are lucky, you will meet the abbot of Mingde Temple. That will be a great Buddhist bond. Maybe you can become a monk of Mingde Temple in the future, stay with my Buddha day and night, and one day you will achieve enlightenment."
The monk clasped his hands together with a pious look on his face: "I wish the donors to see through the world of mortals as soon as possible and take refuge in my Buddha."
After saying that, he knocked on the wooden fish and walked away.
"Bah! We don't want to see through the mortal world and take refuge in my Buddha!"
The little princess Qian spat at the monk's back and held on to the Dragon King's hand.
"Let's go to Mingde Temple first. We can't sleep on the streets."
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to stay at Mingde Temple.
When they came to Mingde Temple, they found that the incense here was very strong, and there were a lot of monks coming in and out of the temple. They all had great satisfaction on their faces, as if they had seen the real Buddha inside.
"It's getting worse and worse here!"
Zhang Ze observed the monks coming in and out. These monks were smiling, and some even had tears streaming down their faces, as if their wishes had come true.
Zhang Ze thought this was abnormal, but he had no evidence to prove that there was danger here, so he could only follow the crowd into the temple.
A Zhike monk came forward and saluted Zhang Ze and others: "Is it the first time for these donors to come to Mingde Town?"
The giant god nodded and returned the greeting to the monk: "Yes, we are passing by your temple and want to stay overnight. We will leave early tomorrow morning. Can it be convenient?"
"Of course you can, please come with me."
Zhike Monk provided several rooms for Zhang Ze and others to stay here, and also told them that someone would bring them meals in a while.
"How does this monk know that this is our first time here?" Moonlight Rabbit wondered.
"How normal. Look at all the bald heads around here. Those of us with long hair are incompatible with them. We can recognize them at a glance." She said casually without emotion: "They must be new here."
"I'm so tired. We ran all the way here from Dragon City and didn't even get a good night's sleep. I can't stand it anymore. I want to sleep!" Little Princess Money lay directly on the bed, stretching and shouting.
"Everyone should rest after eating. We will leave early tomorrow."
Soon, several monks brought meals to Zhang Ze and the others. Although they were all vegetarian, they were very delicious. In addition, everyone was hungry, so the food was particularly sweet.
What surprised Liu Yueying even more was that the monks knew that she was raising a child and brought her goat milk. Seeing that the child was well fed, Liu Yueying was all smiles.
After dinner, everyone returned to their bedrooms to rest. Zhang Ze took out the jade slips and prepared to contact Qin Feng.
But for some reason, Yu Jian didn't respond at all, just like the cell phone had no signal and couldn't contact Qin Feng.
"what happened?"
Zhang Ze frowned. He didn't think the jade slip was broken. It was not a sophisticated electronic instrument and was prone to malfunctions.
But why is there no response?
Zhang Ze raised his head and looked around the room, thinking to himself: "Is it because the place we are in has any impact on the jade slips?"
Shaking his head, Zhang Ze put away the jade slips and lay down on his bed to rest.
He was always cautious and took precautions before going to bed, asking several of his followers to stand guard over the girls.
The key point is to protect Liu Yueying and the baby.
Sleeping until midnight, Zhang Ze suddenly heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes and sat up, and found Qin Feng standing in front of his bed.
"Brother Rakshasa, things have changed!"
Qin Feng's face was solemn, and Zhang Ze noticed that he still had blood stains on his body and seemed to be injured.
He couldn't help but asked nervously: "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
"Don't worry about these things."
Qin Feng waved his hand and said: "I'm here to pick up the child this time. Your whereabouts have been exposed. The Xichang army is coming soon. It's too dangerous for the child to stay with you. It's better for me to take him out of the confinement myself. "
Zhang Ze nodded: "Okay, the child is with my friend, I will go find her now."
"I'll go with you."
Qin Feng followed Zhang Ze, and the two of them left the house and walked towards the girls' residence. Zhang Ze asked halfway: "I used jade slips to contact you before, why didn't you reply?"
"Oh, the situation was critical at that time. I was besieged by several enemies and I really didn't have time to contact you."
Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Ze glanced at Qin Feng under the moonlight. For some reason, he always felt that Qin Feng had a strange smell on his body.
It seems like...the smell of sandalwood.
Zhang Ze suddenly frowned. He stopped and said deliberately: "Master Qin, when will you be able to fulfill the things we agreed on?"
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile: "Any time, no matter what you want, I will honor it."
"Hello, please come up with one thousand taels of silver now."
Zhang Ze turned around and stretched out his hand to Qin Feng. The latter reached into his arms and took out a banknote with a face value of three hundred taels.
"I only carry so much with me, and I will give the rest to you when things are done."
"Thank you!"
Zhang Ze put the banknote directly into his arms. He suddenly took a step forward, and [Blood Moon] appeared out of thin air in his hand, sliding towards Qin Feng's neck with lightning speed!
Qin Feng was caught off guard and his throat was cut with a knife. He held his bloody throat and took a few steps back. He looked at Zhang Ze with difficulty and then slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Hmph! I had to pretend to be Qin Feng to deceive people. Fortunately, I saw through it!"
Zhang Ze stepped forward, touched Qin Feng's face, and pulled off a thin human skin mask with his hand.
Under the mask was a round-faced monk, his eyes widened, and there was no life in them.
"Bold villain! How dare you massacre the monks of this temple! Why don't you hurry up and catch him without mercy!"
At this moment, noisy voices came from around him. Zhang Ze looked around and saw a large group of monks holding weapons and holding torches, surrounding him.
"I just felt like something was wrong here, and it seems that there is indeed something wrong!"
Zhang Ze said coldly: "You monks don't eat fast and chant the Buddha properly, but you pretend to be someone else and deceive others. I don't think you are good people!"
A tall figure walked out from among the monks. This man was wearing a cassock and a five-Buddha hat on his head. He clasped his hands and said loudly: "The poor monk, whose name is Kongji, is the abbot of Mingde Temple. This donor, you are now You are an important criminal wanted by the imperial court, and as citizens of the Liang Kingdom, we are naturally obliged to assist the imperial court in capturing you."
"Please put down the butcher knife, I promise not to kill you."
Zhang Ze chuckled: "I would rather believe in the butcher knife in my hand than you bunch of bald donkeys!"
"Well, since the donor is stubborn, the poor monk can only send you on your way."
Kong Ji bowed slightly to Zhang Ze, and sounded as if Zhang Ze was dead.
"We will indeed go on the road, but not on the road as you said, but after destroying this evil temple of yours, we will leave here!"
Zhang Ze snorted coldly, revealed his weapon, and prepared to fight.
At the same time, he also sent a message to his companions, warning everyone to be careful about the monks here.
However, the team channel was quiet, and no one responded to his message.
Zhang Ze's heart sank: "What's going on? Has something happened to everyone?"
He wanted to contact his followers and ask them to report the situation. Unexpectedly, those followers did not respond, which made him even more surprised.
Looking at the monks around him who were approaching him step by step, Zhang Ze thought to himself: "Deal with these monks first, and then go see my companions."
He drew his bow and aimed at the monk closest to him. He shot three arrows and the monk fell to the ground.
"Huh? Why don't you dodge or dodge?"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised. He thought the opponent would avoid him, but he didn't expect to kill him so easily.
"The donor is so cruel, he kills people without blinking an eye!"
Kong Ji stood outside the crowd, looking pitiful and pitiful, as if Zhang Ze had done something extremely sinful.
Zhang Ze would not feel guilty because of his words, so he drew his bow and arrow and aimed at Kong Ji, preparing to kill him.
Wow!
A large group of monks protected Kong Ji and blocked Zhang Ze's bow and arrow with their bodies.
"These monks must have been brainwashed!"
Zhang Ze noticed that something was wrong with the expressions of these monks. They were even smiling when they were dying, as if they were extremely satisfied. This was definitely not normal.
"There are too many enemies here, I can't do it on my own!"
Zhang Ze planned to summon a few followers to help him, but he suddenly found that his [Summoning Technique] turned gray and could not be used!
"What's the matter?"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Zhang Ze's forehead. He had never encountered such a thing before. Being unable to use [Summoning Technique] meant that he lost the protection of his entourage and could only rely on himself.
But the situation at hand is complicated. With the enemy outnumbered and the enemy outnumbered, Zhang Ze is in many dangers.
"Donor, I advise you to put down your butcher knife, plead guilty and be punished." The quiet voice came again, saying: "None of your magic methods will be of use in Mingde Temple. This is the sacred place where the Buddha protects you." .”
"Holy place? Can't use magic?"
Zhang Ze avoided the crazy attacks of the monks while recalling Kong Ji's words, and he suddenly woke up.
"What kind of magic can't be used? I think it's because the skills can't be used!"
Zhang Ze immediately checked his other skills, and sure enough, he couldn't use them in the private field either.
"It seems that my guess is correct. There is something weird about this temple. It should have set up some kind of taboo, which silently affected us and prevented us from using our skills."
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart: "This is not a problem for me!"
After saying that, he put on the [Emperor of Light], spread his wings and flew into the sky!
The monks gathered at Zhang Ze's feet and stretched out their hands to catch him, but Zhang Ze had already flown into the sky and they could not reach him.
Next, a scene that shocked Zhang Ze happened. The monks were stacked one on top of the other, slowly forming a "mountain of people"!
And the height is still rising, and he has great intentions of catching up with Zhang Ze!
Zhang Ze hummed and continued to fly high into the sky. At the same time, he checked the status of his skills to see if they could be used.
