Chapter 35: The Mysterious Incident Angers the Great Buddha Temple!
In the northern reaches of the Jiangbei region, Xu Ming stood before a short-haired woman, giving her a report on the day’s events. The woman’s name was Lin Xiaoxiao, the captain of the Jiangbei Mysterious Incident Bureau!
Upon hearing Xu Ming’s report, Lin Xiaoxiao’s face displayed a hint of surprise.
“I’ve only been at the Blue Moon Resort for a day, and so much has happened?”
“That Daoist priest came down from the mountain!”
Xu Ming nodded in agreement.
“Yes, I didn’t expect him to come down either. But as soon as he arrived in Jiangbei, he brought us quite a gift.”
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.
“Huiguang from the Great Buddha Temple is truly despicable!”
“Lately, that bald donkey from the Great Buddha Temple has been planning something, and it’s getting out of hand!”
“Captain, what should we do with Huiguang’s body?”
“Throw it back to the Great Buddha Temple, warn them. This is the land of the Great Xia, not a place where they can act recklessly!”
“They really think that the dirty deeds they did a hundred years ago have gone unnoticed! Switching sides on the spot, teaming up with the Buddhist sects from the Fuso Kingdom, and unlocking the ruins!”
“If it weren’t for that upheaval that harmed the vitality of Great Xia, we would have wiped out these bald donkeys a long time ago!”
Lin Xiaoxiao’s expression carried an uncontrollable anger.
Xu Ming also showed a hint of seriousness. “Alright, I’ll give the orders.”
“What about those online videos?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
“Videos? Don’t worry about them. With the resurgence of evil spirits becoming more severe, headquarters has said it’s time to make the public aware of some eerie matters.”
“Keeping it hidden will only increase people’s panic. Besides, the Daoist priest’s thunderous methods can also alleviate the public’s fear of the supernatural. Let them know that we, Great Xia, can deal with these eerie beings.”
“That’s indeed a good approach,” Xu Ming nodded.
Recently, there has been a constant stream of paranormal news from all over the country, all of which were the handiwork of the Mysterious Incident Bureau. However, it was their first time doing it via live broadcasts. Moreover, from the comments, people weren’t particularly panicked after witnessing ghosts being defeated.
Instead, they clamored for a chance to take down some ghosts themselves. This was obviously a good thing.
“By the way, Captain, have any leads at the Blue Moon Resort?”
In response to that question, Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head with a wry smile.
“No, we still have absolutely no idea about the situation there. The level of supernatural activity at the Blue Moon Resort has exceeded my expectations,” Lin Xiaoxiao replied.
Just then, Xu Ming received a message notification. He checked his phone, and a smile instantly lit up his face.
“Captain! We don’t have to worry anymore. The Daoist priest has taken on the mission at the Blue Moon Resort!”
“Oh?” Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised for a moment, then smiled.
“It appears that this Daoist priest came down from the mountain to exterminate malevolent spirits. In that case, take me to meet him tomorrow afternoon.”
“Alright.”
In the northern city of Jiangbei, on the outskirts, halfway up a hill, the Great Buddha Temple stood tall. The temple was bustling with crowds of people. Pilgrims came from all directions, and Buddhist chants echoed in the temple.
In front of the temple, many monks had set up stalls, selling various incense and Buddhist instruments at prices several times higher than outside. Some of the items were exorbitantly priced.
Some of the monks selling these instruments appeared to be at a disadvantage, and they openly stated that if it weren’t for the resurgence of demons and the Buddha’s universal salvation of humanity, they wouldn’t even consider selling these consecrated instruments.
The abbot’s main gate was knocked on deep within the temple.
“Master! Master!”
“Something serious has happened!”
A monk in his thirties, dressed in monk robes, shouted at the entrance.
“Namo Amitabha, why are you so flustered?
Come in,” an elderly voice echoed from inside the room.
With those words, the main gate opened inward without any wind. The middle-aged monk quickly entered the room. The entire room was quite simple, but those with a discerning eye could tell that the incense in this room was top-grade purple sandalwood. It had the power to refresh the mind and calm the spirit.
In the market, even a small quantity would cost tens of thousands for a single tael. Typically, only wealthy households would light it when receiving important guests. But it was being casually burned in this room, and the cost of this single day’s purple sandalwood alone amounted to a staggering figure. Even the tables, chairs, and stools in the room were made of golden-threaded Nanmu wood.
The value of this room alone was worth at least hundreds of millions. In the center of the room, a monk in his sixties or seventies was meditating. He was the abbot of the Pudu Temple, the venerable Master Fazhao, and also rumored to be the reincarnation of an Arhat in Buddhist circles. He opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged monk who had entered.
“Namo Amitabha, Hui’an, what’s the matter? Don’t you know this is my meditation time?”
“Master! Something has happened to Brother Huiguang!” As soon as he heard this, Master Fazhao’s brow furrowed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Doesn’t your brother have the consecrated instruments I bestowed upon him? What could happen? Even if he encounters someone stronger, he should be able to escape.”
“Master, Brother Huiguang’s body is outside… The Mysterious Incident Bureau sent it.”
“What?” Master Fazhao’s expression turned stern, and a terrifying aura emanated from him. “The people from the Mysterious Incident Bureau killed Huiguang?”
“It’s unlikely,” Hui’an shook his head. “Master, please take a look at this video first.”
Hui’an took out his phone and opened a page, handing it to Master Fazhao. The video displayed was the live broadcast from Zhang Beixuan on the bus earlier.
“Based on our investigation, the Daoist priest who came down from Mount Longhu was assigned to the Jiangbei University incident. He’s likely the one who killed Huiguang!”
