Chapter 326 Iron Heart Courtyard
Despite being told to save a few sips, don't drink too much.
But when the boat emerged from the winding waterway, Yin Xiu and Luo Wei drank up the shochu.
Just when the two were drunk, the boatman spoke.
"You two, the Tiexin Courtyard is ahead."
Luo Wei got excited and sat up first, looking forward.
In that dark place, there were two lights, which looked like guiding lights.
Yin Xiu also slowly sat up and stretched.
"Why, are you nervous? You have never seen such a scene, have you, Yongtan?"
"What are you nervous about?"
Luo Wei looked quite unhappy, "I was just wondering, are two pairs of handcuffs enough?"
Yin Xiu grinned, "That's enough, maybe there's still more left."
Luo Wei turned around and looked at him, "Let me say it first. Although those guys are bastards and scum, as long as they surrender, you cannot use excessive force to torture them."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Yin Xiu waved his hand, "I move very quickly and won't torture you."
Luo Wei nodded subconsciously, and then he remembered that something was wrong. When he was about to speak, the front end of the bamboo raft had lightly hit the rocks on the shore.
The figures of several people swayed.
"We're here," said the boatman.
Yin Xiu nodded, took out a rose-colored salt brick from his pocket, and handed it to the boatman.
"Whether it's used for beating people or cooking, this is very useful."
The boatman finally had a smile on his face, took the salt brick, and stuffed it into his wide sleeves.
"Why do you bring everything?" Luo Wei asked.
"That's not all. As I said, I'm fully prepared this time. Okay, it's time to go, Yongtan."
Yin Xiu patted his shoulder gently and jumped ashore first.
As soon as he reached the shore, he was still a little drunk when he was blown by a gust of cold wind, and he suddenly woke up.
The wind carried a strong smell of blood, as if the front was not a temple but a giant slaughterhouse.
Luo Wei followed him, and as soon as he landed, the relaxed look on his face disappeared. He also smelled the bloody smell that was so thick that it would stain the leather.
"If anything happens later, remember to take care of yourself."
After nudging his chin, Yin Xiu lit up a piece of talisman paper for lighting - the two lamps only served as indicators and had no lighting effect.
"There's nothing wrong with me. If you can't cover me later, I can give you a hand."
Luo Wei said and took out the fluorite, which was similar to the one in Haruyo's hand. It might have been taken from him.
In his other hand, he held a silver revolver. It didn't look like a common version on the market, and it might have been specially modified.
"Then let's each settle on our destiny?" Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"Of course!"
As soon as the words fell, the two separated in a tacit understanding, walking on the left and right sides of the aisle respectively, each guarding one side and covering the other at the same time.
After bypassing a winding and narrow tunnel, a section of green stone steps suddenly appeared in front of Yin Xiu and Luo Wei.
I have to say that the existence of these stone steps is as weird as the sudden appearance of a skyscraper in the tropical rain forest.
But after walking in Wujian for a long time, Yin Xiu has long been immune to this kind of unreasonable weirdness.
But when they climbed up the stone steps and reached the top, that weird feeling appeared again.
On the platform above their heads, an ancient temple suddenly appeared in front of them.
The mountain gate is made of mahogany, with green bricks and green tiles, and long white marble-like beams...
When Yin Xiuzheng was staring blankly, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
Looking back, it turned out that it was Luo Wei who had twisted the flesh on his waist with his hands.
"..."
Yin Xiu glanced at him, "What are you doing?"
Luo Wei shook his head, "I was wondering if it was possible that I was drunk or dreaming."
"You know now, don't you? Everything in front of you is real!" Yin Xiu said angrily.
After taking a few glances, Yin Xiu realized that the Tiexinyuan in front of him was actually a scaled-down version of Hongde Temple.
Except for the lack of backyard and the large square and pond, the rest of the place is specially copied, but smaller and shorter.
It seems that Shi Ming did have some obsession, so much so that he built such a "grand" temple imitating Hongde Temple in this underground place where it was difficult to even transport beams and pillars.
"Let's go?" Yin Xiu asked.
"you first!"
When the two of them walked one behind the other, they both extinguished the light sources in their hands.
With a "candle" as big as Tiexinyuan, the two of them no longer needed any lighting, they just had to keep their eyes wide open and walk in that direction.
Look close, look far away.
Yin Xiu and Luo Wei walked for almost half an hour before finally arriving at the gate of Tiexinyuan along the winding the way, they discovered that although these iron-headed monks didn't seem to be very smart, they had to be said to have great perseverance and faith.
In such an environment, financial resources alone are far from enough to build and maintain such a smooth stone staircase.
But as they got closer and closer, the bloody smell from the cold wind became more and more serious, and Luo Wei actually started to feel itchy on his skin.
By the time they stood at the door, the bloody smell had become a physical wall, blocking their way, preventing Luo Wei from taking a step forward.
Yin Xiu's hand seemed to move in slow motion, pushing aside the invisible barrier and pushing on the door.
The red wooden door immediately creaked and groaned as it was opened inside.
As soon as the door opened, blood mist poured out from inside and sprayed directly onto their faces and bodies.
In front of them were corpses everywhere.
The monks of the Tiexin Sect were all dwarfs, either wearing monk robes or naked. Some had a shoe hanging on their feet, while others were barefoot.
The whole scene seemed extremely chaotic, rushed, and different for everyone.
But everyone was in the same state, that is, they were all dead, and the clots of amber blood that had coagulated formed solid ripples at the foot of the front steps, looking like a swamp of blood.
All of these people were slapped on the chest or back, leaving a purple palm print.
Their internal organs were shattered into powder, and the fragments mixed with bruises overflowed from their mouths or wounds on their bodies, weaving into bloody carpets around their faces or soles of their feet.
"Is it the Buddhist special skill, the powerful Vajra Palm?"
Seeing these corpses, Luo Wei quickly calmed down.
It's not that he was used to family massacres or gang fights, so he was immune.
But this is the most acceptable thing he has seen.
It would be scary if you opened the door and saw pieces of meat and viscera all over the floor, or the limbs of some unknown creature.
"It's not the Vajra Palm, it's the tiger claw." Yin Xiu said.
There was not even a metal monk body around these monks. It was obvious that they were not killed when they turned into iron monks.
The person who can make these people defenseless must be an acquaintance, someone whom these people trust wholeheartedly.
“At that time, the murderer should have summoned them to the main hall or some venue.
These monks were acquainted with the murderer, or were under his command, so no one had any suspicion, and they all passed away after being called out by him.
Then the master quickly killed everyone one by one.
At least for now, no one can escape from the gate. "
After Luo Wei finished speaking, he looked over the corpses of these dwarfs.
Some of them are young, some are old, and some even have childish faces. It is really difficult to judge the identity and age of these people from their appearance.
Perhaps among them were the backbones of the Iron Heart Sect, as well as children who were abducted and fed the potion.
But right now, all the rights and wrongs don't matter. In the eyes of others, this is just a corpse and another corpse. There is no difference in status, place or position.
"What is the reason for killing all the people in the Iron Heart Sect? Is it an enemy? Or is it just to silence them?" Luo Wei pondered.
"Want to know? Just ask him yourself."
"I asked……"
Luo Wei was mid-sentence when he looked up and saw a monk standing in front of them.
A monk with a normal body shape, but very slender limbs, and a long neck like a white crane, with a majestic appearance.
Luo Wei didn't know who this person was, but Yin Xiu knew it very well.
"The chief of Wenshu Monastery of Hongde Temple, Maha."
Maha didn't seem to pay attention to the two of them at first. It wasn't until Yin Xiu made a sound that he turned around. His eyes were as calm as ever, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"You can still remember such a long list of names. It's really touching to call me Poor Monk."
"If you really want to thank you, you can kneel down and kowtow twice. We promise we won't blow your head off when you say thank you."
Although they only met once, Maha seemed to be used to the sharp thorns in Yin Xiu's words. He just grinned and smiled.
"You were lucky and ran away last time, but I always feel that you won't have that good luck this time."
Yin Xiu didn't take it seriously. He just pointed at the corpses on the ground and asked, "Why do you want to kill them? Leave no one alive?"
"No one is left behind."
Maha touched the palm of his hand and said, "These people have done many evil things and are ugly. They will only pollute the tranquility of the Buddhist pure land. I have the heart of a Bodhisattva and the means of a diamond. I will do my best to eliminate evil."
It seems that after Shi Ming's death, Hongde Temple felt that these people were not only useless, but also a burden and hidden danger, so Maha took action himself.
Luo Wei asked with a cold face: "Is this your confession when you go to court?"
Maha sneered, "You two will be lying with them soon. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Luo Wei ignored him and looked at Yin Xiu instead, "Are we going to fight in a group or together? With your temperament, I think we should fight together?"
Yin Xiu's face was not as relaxed as his, and she said in a low voice: "I am from a well-known and upright family, how can I bully a small number with more people?"
"What do you mean?" Luo Wei was a little surprised.
"I mean, even if we go together, we can't beat him."
