"Damn, that old monk is too perverted! He can actually do something like this!"
Old Dao, standing to the side, was also cursing indignantly.
We had already considered the worst-case scenario as much as possible, but this old monk's level of depravity far exceeded our imagination.
What the women said next shocked us even more.
They were all tricked into coming here by this old monk, who used them to practice evil techniques.
After listening, I nodded slightly. I could tell that from the moment the old monk attacked Luo Tianhe, I could sense that the old monk had some skill.
As for the way to increase power, it is naturally by utilizing the yin and yang energies within these women's bodies.
And that pool of blood just now is the best proof.
What's most perverse is that not only were the monks mentioned above not involved, but many of them were actually the children of these women.
My face turned ashen after hearing that.
"You mean that old man forced you to have children, and then made those children become monks?"
My expression was a little strange.
No wonder I felt there was something wrong with this temple.
So that's where the problem lies!
When I first came in, I noticed that almost all the monks in this temple were young people.
They were all around ten to twenty years old. There was no other person like Abbot Hongshi who was his age.
And now all these mysteries have finally been solved.
So many monks here, and they all belong to this Abbot Hongshi!
I felt my worldview shattered for a moment.
"Uncle Chen, what about these women?"
At this moment, Ji Xinglan also felt a pang of sympathy and began to ask how to deal with these women.
After a moment's thought, I offered a solution: such a large temple should be able to accommodate these women without any problem.
I plan to screen these women first, and those who pass the screening can choose to stay.
So, I had Lao Dao and Ant take the women up first, and then Luo Tianhe, Ji Xinglan, and I would continue to investigate to see if there were any survivors.
We split up into two groups. Old Knife and Ant took all the women upstairs, while the three of us re-examined the secret room. Unfortunately, we found nothing.
Just as I was leaving in disappointment, Ji Xinglan suddenly called out to me.
"Uncle Chen, look at this secret room, what are those things hanging there?"
Ji Xinglan tugged at my sleeve and then pointed to the corner of the room where the woman had just been imprisoned.
I looked in the direction Ji Xinglan was pointing and sure enough, I saw a peculiar piece of iron in the corner.
This iron piece is triangular in shape and has a pattern engraved on it.
When I first saw this thing, I knew it was something special.
"Old Luo, do you recognize this?"
I picked up the small piece of metal and returned to Luo Tianhe, passing it to him.
Luo Tianhe carefully picked up the piece of iron, examined it for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before! But since it's in this room, I suggest we take it!"
Luo Tianhe gave me a suggestion and then returned the iron sheet to me.
I put the metal sheet into my pocket, checked it again to make sure nothing was missing, and then led them upstairs.
Once they got up there, the women had already been arranged in an orderly manner by Lao Dao and Ant.
As for the other monks in the temple, they had long been under the control of Ant and Old Knife.
Although these two weren't particularly strong, they were more than capable of dealing with the monks in the temple.
"Old Knife Ant, you two did a great job, you saved us a lot of trouble!"
I gave Ant and Old Knife a thumbs up and sincerely praised them.
These two guys really made my life easier.
And at that moment, my eyelids started twitching again.
I quickly opened the booklet to see if there were any new tips, and on the last page of the booklet, another line of small print appeared.
"Evil has been exorcised; prepare for the storm!"
That short sentence sent a chill down my spine; the words were devoid of any emotion, icy and biting.
"Preparing for the storm?"
I kept repeating that sentence, wondering if I had missed something.
"Uncle Chen! The reason we came to Nanshan Temple was actually to escape that thick fog!"
But so far, there doesn't seem to be any fog inside the temple!
Ji Xinglan revealed a crucial piece of information, which I wholeheartedly agreed with after hearing it.
If my guess is correct, the real test is yet to come; we should lead the innocent people of Nanshan Temple to withstand this thick fog.
I recounted the monks, and I recognized a few of the younger ones.
"The mind is like a restless horse!"
I called out to the group of monks, and two of the boys, who looked rather kind, walked over shakily.
"Greetings, benefactor!"
The two people put their hands together in prayer, greeted us first, and then we recited Amitabha Buddha's name again.
"You two, count the number of people and see how many are still here!"
I entrusted this crucial task to the two of them.
According to Hongshi, there are more than 500 people in their temple, but there are only more than 100 monks in front of me.
With so many discrepancies, either Redstone just lied to me, or some people have gone into hiding.
"Reporting to you, my fellow disciples are all here. After our master was killed by you, several of them ran away!"
The two exchanged a glance, and it was Xin Yuan who finally spoke.
He told me that all the senior and junior brothers he knew were here, and those who had run away were probably dead. Dead?
I raised an eyebrow slightly.
Seeing my suspicious expression, they quickly pulled me into a side hall.
Inside this side hall are many memorial tablets, each bearing the name of a monk.
Some of the memorial tablets were cracked open.
“Benefactor! These are the nameplates of us fellow disciples! If any of us die, the nameplate will shatter!”
The signs of those people who just left are all cracked!
They spoke in unison, their minds wandering.
Hearing this, I gasped, and my doubts were completely resolved.
At that moment, I finally understood why the monks were all waiting for me obediently when I came up.
It's not that they don't want to run, but that they simply can't escape.
This once again confirms Ji Xinglan's guess: the real test is not the demons inside the temple.
It's the layer of fog on the outside!
