Chapter 108 Asking for help
Eunuch Shen: “…”
You dog emperor, you deserve it because you don’t have a single subject who is truly loyal to you.
You even calculate such trivial matters.
Shen Shilang took the blood sacrifice method and went straight to the Fahong Temple outside the city.
Because of Qiu Zhaohui, Shen Shilang didn't have a good impression of the Taoist priest, so he went straight to the temple.
Fahong Temple is built halfway up a mountain, as if to test the sincerity of pilgrims. To enter the temple and pray, one has to climb very high steps on the mountain road.
Most of the people who came were women, and women from ordinary families were not that bad.
I have gained a lot of physical strength from doing housework on a daily basis.
If it were a woman from a wealthy and powerful family, she would usually not go out of the house and would have servants to serve her. She would feel tired after walking a few steps, and climbing these stairs would make her even more breathless.
Shen Shilang pedaled very fast all the way, passing by many weak women who stopped halfway and were too tired to need help.
Shen Shilang couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if Su Jinshi were here.
Will you be able to walk very fast, or will you get tired after climbing for a while?
When Shen Shilang entered the temple, he happened to meet a young monk, so he stopped him and asked, "Excuse me, abbot, is it convenient for you to see me?"
The young monk put his hands together and asked, "What do you want to see the abbot for?"
Shen Shilang said, "I am Shen Shilang. I have read in ancient books that there is a method to contact people from other worlds. I would like to ask the abbot for advice."
Nowadays, there is probably no one in the capital who has not heard of Shen Shilang’s name.
This is no exception in Fahong Temple.
The young monk said, "Please wait outside the temple."
Although Shen Shilang was anxious, he could only wait outside the hall.
The young monk left at a leisurely pace.
Shen Shilang counted silently in his heart. When he counted to more than 1,200 times, the little monk came back slowly and said to Shen Shilang, "Donor, please follow me."
Shen Shilang followed the young monk through the main hall and came to the inner room where the abbot stayed.
"Donor Shen." The abbot was waiting in the inner room. When he saw Shen Shilang coming in, he called out slowly.
"Master Juehui." Shen Shilang clasped his hands together and called out respectfully.
"Please take a seat, benefactor." Juehui pointed to the cushion beside him.
Shen Shilang thanked him and sat down.
Juehui sat opposite Shen Shilang. The young monk came over to pour him some tea and then stepped aside. Juehui then spoke slowly, "I just heard from you about your intention. May I ask what method you are looking for?"
Shen Shilang took out the blood sacrifice method he copied in the palace and handed it to Juehui, "This is it."
Juehui took it and saw the method on it. His expression became serious. He pressed the paper on the table with his fingertips and pushed it back, "Donor, this method cannot be used."
"Why?" Shen Shilang frowned and asked, "Since it is recorded in ancient books, there must be a feasible way."
"This method is too dangerous and will damage your vital energy." Juehui said, "This method requires the use of human heart blood as a guide. Take out as much blood as this teacup every day and soak it in something close to your body for an hour. After 49 days, use this thing as a guide and perform a ritual to lead you to another world."
“The heart blood doesn’t have to be pierced into the heart, otherwise, after just one piercing, the person will not be able to live.” Juehui said, “Because the ten fingers are connected to the heart, blood can be drawn from the fingertips. But if you draw so much blood every day, even if you don’t die, after forty-nine days, half of your life will be gone.”
“When connecting to another world, the person you lead may not be the one you really want to lead. For the person who is doing the ritual, it will hurt himself and waste his cultivation.” Juehui shook his head and advised slowly, “Besides, humans and ghosts have different paths, so you should be more open-minded.”
Shen Shilang frowned and said, "What I want to guide is not a ghost."
Juehui still shook his head, "Whether it's a human, a ghost, or a god, guiding them to another world is against the will of heaven and will not benefit the donor in any way."
Shen Shilang was determined to do it and Jue Huineng could not persuade him at all.
"Master, so I just need to find someone who is willing to cast a spell for me, right?" Shen Shilang asked.
Juehui understood what Shen Shilang meant and advised: "Donor, please listen to me and do not use this blood sacrifice method. It will not benefit you or the person who casts the spell. At the very least, it will backfire on you, and at worst, you will lose your life."
Shen Shilang stood up and said, "Master, I know you have good intentions, but I have to do this matter no matter what. If you don't want to, then forget it. There will always be someone willing to do it."
Su Jinshi watched the whole process, but he couldn't communicate with Shen Shilang.
She looked at her phone, anxious but helpless.
In Su Jinshi's opinion, this blood sacrifice method is just a lie.
Backlash to oneself means losing too much blood and consuming one's own qi and blood.
That much blood needs to be lost every day for forty-nine days in a row, and even a strong body cannot withstand it.
Su Jinshi poked Shen Shilang hard, "Shen Shilang! Shen Shilang, calm down! Shen Shilang!"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
However, no matter how Su Jinshi called out, Shen Shilang could not hear him.
"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts." Shen Shilang clasped his hands together, bowed to Juehui calmly, and went down the mountain.
After this, Shen Shilang no longer spent time in the library.
Shen Shilang simply took leave and left Beijing, and first went to Pingjin City next to the capital.
There is also a temple there, which is very popular.
The abbot of the temple, Master Mingcheng, is also a famous monk.
Emperor Jiacheng readily approved Shen Shilang's request for leave.
In his opinion, Shen Shilang asked for leave to go to various temples in order to find a way to communicate with the gods, so he must support him.
And also give strong support!
However, as soon as Shen Shilang reached the mountain gate and explained his purpose, he was rejected by the monk in front of him, "Donor, the abbot knows your intention, but this matter is against the will of heaven and will not benefit you in any way, so the abbot cannot agree to your request. Donor, please go back."
"May I ask how the abbot can agree to this?" Shen Shilang asked.
"The abbot is not afraid of hurting himself, but cultivation requires one to follow the will of heaven. This goes against the original intention of cultivation. Please go back." The monk clasped his hands together and said slowly, "Donor, the abbot asks you not to be obsessed with this. Going against the will of heaven will eventually backfire on yourself."
Shen Shilang left without saying a word and went to the next place.
But wherever he went, Shen Shilang was rejected, just like in Yanhua Temple, where he couldn't even see the abbot.
The further Shen Shilang walked, the more he refused to believe that no one would agree to his request.
"Enough, Shen Shilang, enough!" Su Jinshi said weakly.
[System: Shen Shilang’s Favorability +10]
Su Jinshi sees this reminder every day recently.
Every time Shen Shilang arrived at a temple, the system would remind her that Shen Shilang's favorability had increased.
That day, Shen Shilang arrived at Luoshui City.
The White Horse Temple here is renowned and is the most famous temple in the entire Daxi.
