He tapped his fingers lightly on the bamboo table, as if he was considering the reason why Kong Ju asked about Ku Ruo Temple.
And all the things that Kururuji was involved with.
After a short rest, he said, "The relevant documents of the Kuruo Temple have long been burned, and the few remaining records are sealed in the royal library. As a palace master, I am not qualified to read them."
Kong Ju couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this.
However, the next sentence from Lord Wen made his eyes light up again.
"I haven't read the relevant documents, but as the lord of the mansion, I do know some rumors about the Kuruo Temple."
"If Lord Wen could tell me, I would be very grateful." Kong Ju immediately stood up with a serious expression and bowed to Lord Wen with the etiquette of a junior, which was considered to be giving him enough face.
Wen Hongzhu frowned, looking at the impeccable young man in front of her, and advised: "Brother Kong..., the Kuruo Temple is not a good place. Most of the rumors about it are full of horror."
"If you are just curious, I advise you not to get close."
"I've heard of this temple in Wudong. I heard that it was even more famous than the current Shangzong Temple when it was glorious. I've been fascinated by it for a long time."
"Now that I have finally come to Tianqi, of course I have to go and take a look." Kong Ju had never heard of Kuruo Temple in Wudong. He just polished up the little information he got from Bai Xiangming and told him.
In addition, his tone was sincere, so Lord Wen and his daughter did not have too many suspicions.
After all, no one would have thought that there would be opportunities in that place.
Seeing Kong Ju was so determined, Lord Wen did not want to persuade him any further. He took a sip of hot tea, relaxed his throat, and then slowly told him some rumors he had heard.
"In the past, there was a great monk in the Kuruo Temple. His power was comparable to that of creation. It is said that he has touched the edge of the legendary creation."
"He has unpredictable supernatural powers. He can turn a desert into an oasis overnight, and can also make all things wither with a thought. He can't bear to see the suffering of the world, and he does many good deeds. The people of Tianqi affectionately call him the Zen Master of Saving the World."
"Master Jishi was a close friend of the then emperor Qingyun Gaozu. He often went to the palace to promote Buddhism to the princes."
"The Kuruo Temple, where a great monk who was loved by the people and relied on by the royal family lived, was devastated overnight."
"The life and death of Zen Master Jishi is unknown. All the disciples and even the birds, beasts, insects and rats in the temple have disappeared."
"Not only did it cause a huge uproar in Tianqi, but even the high monks in Yunmo were alarmed and came to Tianqi to find out the reason."
"An old prince from the royal family came out of retreat and joined hands with the senior monk Yunmo to enter the cave, but they came out half a day later. Both of them kept silent."
"No one knows what they saw, and no one knows what happened that night."
"However, after that day, all the documents about the Kuruo Temple were burned, and the monk Yunmo never set foot in Tianqi again. It became Tianqi's thousand-year-old unsolved case."
When Kong Qi heard this, his eyes lit up.
What he thought was indeed correct. The Lord Wen in front of him knew many secrets of Kuruo Temple.
However, after hearing that the Kuruo Temple, which was once famous in Tianqi, collapsed overnight, and even the old prince of the royal family and the monk Yunmo were powerless.
There was also a hint of fear in his eyes.
"This Kuruo Temple is more dangerous than I thought."
Even though Lord Wen had not stopped talking, there was a deep fear hidden in his eyes.
"Tianqi strictly controls all news related to the Kuruo Temple."
"There was a rumor sent back from Yun Mo."
"It is said that the eminent monk who had been to Tianqi mentioned the Kuruo Temple before he passed away."
Master Wen heard these words, but he never even told his daughter about them.
Not only Kong Ju listened attentively, Wen Hongzhu also held her breath and listened carefully to every word.
"What did the monk say?" Wen Hongzhu asked this question. She was afraid of Kuruo Temple, but she was more curious.
Kong Ju saw that the Lord of Wen Mansion glanced at his daughter, and then looked at him, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "The monk Yunmo said... there is a demon in the Kuruo Temple."
"Demon?" Kong Ju frowned.
This is a strange word, there is no such term in Wudong.
"God! Witch God!" Kong Ju subconsciously thought of the Witch God.
He didn't have much contact with the Gujiang monks, except for Zaifu Qiaoqiao.
But he discovered one characteristic: when talking to the Gujiang monks, every three sentences would definitely mention the witch god.
Even Zaifu Qiaoqiao is no exception.
It is conceivable how high the status of the witch god is in Gujiang.
But the word 'God' doesn't seem like a simple belief.
Almost every tribe in Gujiang would build an altar to communicate with the "gods" and offer sacrifices regularly.
This is also why obscene rituals are everywhere in Gujiang.
Even though countless witches died in the sacrifices, they seemed to never get tired of it.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
If you think about it carefully, the Gujiang witch must have benefited from the sacrifice.
Otherwise, who would rush to die for no reason?
Kong Ju also thought of the witch snake god pattern on the soul-calming bell in his sea of consciousness.
It was evolved from the black air sucked away from the statue of the witch snake god of the witch snake tribe.
“Is it also a ‘god’?”
Kong Ju's thoughts raced for a moment and he thought a lot.
"But why would the 'God' of Gujiang appear in Tianqi? And in the largest force in Tianqi besides the royal family at that time." Kong Ju whispered to Mansion Master Wen.
The hand holding the teacup of Lord Wen paused for a moment, and he expressed his guess: "Maybe it's not the 'God' of Gujiang."
"If it's not the god of Gujiang, then where is he from? From Tianqi?" Kong Ju shook his head and put the idea behind him.
Tianqi and Gujiang are irreconcilable, and there is almost no means of sacrificial offerings.
How could it be related to God?
In this case, the claim that there is a god in Kururu Temple has no basis at all.
But the monk Yunmo said clearly that there was a demon in the Kuru Temple.
"This is all I know." Lord Wen was able to say these words. Although they were not in the documents banned by the royal family, they were already a taboo topic.
After saying this, he had no intention of staying and took his daughter to say goodbye.
Kong Ju temporarily put aside the countless distracting thoughts that arose in his mind and politely sent the two of them out of the courtyard fence.
Before leaving, Lord Wen looked at Kong Ju's polite attitude and his happiness when he sold the Shenglun Pill to him.
After hesitating for a moment, he still reminded: "If you are just curious, you'd better not get close to the formation outside the Kuruo Temple."
"Let alone whether you can get in, I'm afraid there won't be anything to take away after you get in."
"No matter what rumors you heard about the Kuruo Temple in Tianqi, don't joke with your life. You have a bright future, don't let it die in Quanzhou, otherwise I will be guilty of a great sin."
"I will keep your words in mind." These words were obviously out of concern. How could Kong Ju not know this? He immediately bowed deeply to Lord Wen.
Then, seeing Wen Hongzhu's hesitant expression as if she wanted to say something, Lord Wen rode on the breeze and left the Green Bamboo Courtyard.
Only Kong Ju was left standing there with a melancholy look on his face, like a clay sculpture or a wooden statue.
He didn't know how much time had passed until a breeze blew, making the sacred bamboos around the courtyard rustle, and he finally came back to his senses.
A bitter smile appeared on his face: "As expected, opportunities are not so easy to get. I have to plan carefully and don't die here."
