C521 Cruelty
"If you want to die, then continue. If you don't want to die, then stop. " It was unknown when the monk suddenly appeared behind Lee Yang and said with a tone of ridicule.
Lee Yang fell to one knee on the ground. He no longer had the strength to stand up.
"I really can't stay here. I can't... I have not seen my son grow up, I have promised my wife to grow old, I have not been filial to my parents. How can I stay here! " Lee Yang said with a trembling voice.
Monk let out a light sigh, and said: "Boy, this Barrier was personally set up by my senior brother. He is a super expert at the peak of the Heaven Rank, and is just one step away from stepping into another space. Even I can only obediently stay in this place! "
"Are you willing? Have you never thought of leaving this place? " Lee Yang looked back at the monk and asked loudly.
"So what if I am unwilling? Was he really going to risk his life? Boy, don't be naive. "Since you've come, you can't leave." The monk said, "If you want to die, I won't stop you, but people can only have hope if they are alive, and if they are dead, then it will be over."
Lee Yang looked at the entrance of the boardwalk. It was so close, yet it was so far away.
It can't be my destiny, it definitely isn't.
I will find a way to leave this place, I will.
Lee Yang staggered back into the cave and quickly fell asleep.
The monk threw two pieces of firewood into the bonfire, then walked to the back of the cave. With a slight rumbling sound, the monk disappeared.
The next day, Lee Yang woke up to the smell of the barbecue again. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the monk was roasting meat and there were two wine jars beside his feet.
As for the origin of meat and wine, Monk had never told him. Lee Yang had asked about it before, but Monk refused to tell him.
Today, Lee Yang decided to find out the truth.
When the monk passed the meat over, Lee Yang directly refused.
"What?" How old are you and you still want to act like a child? " The monk laughed and said, "You will only have the strength to fight me when you have eaten your fill."
"What's the use of fighting you? Even if we win, I won't be able to leave. " Lee Yang sneered and said, "Also, you said you're trapped here, then who gave you this meat and wine. You can't be here making wine and raising pigs yourself, can you? Moreover, this meat is definitely not pork. "
"Kid, did your brain get damaged last night? Your curiosity got the better of you. Well, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't mind telling you. "Come with me." The monk extinguished the bonfire and walked into the depths of the cave. Lee Yang was secretly happy and quickly followed behind the monk.
At the end of the cave was an uneven mountain wall. After the monk touched it twice, the mountain wall actually automatically pushed to the two sides. It was a very deep hidden stone door.
Lee Yang's heart suddenly tensed up.
Could there be a way out here?
But since the monk knew, why didn't he leave?
Lee Yang couldn't wait to know what was behind the stone door.
However, just as he was about to step forward, the monk stretched out his hand and stopped him.
"No matter what you see later, do not be surprised or scream. Kid, you're crazy, and you lose control of your emotions too easily. I will not save you if danger comes to you because of your mistake. Do you remember? " The monk said very seriously.
"Why are you so serious? Is there a dinosaur behind us? " Lee Yang shrugged and said.
The monk was too lazy to argue with him and took the lead to walk out. Lee Yang took a deep breath and walked behind the stone door.
"What is this?" Lee Yang looked at the scene in front of him and was so shocked that he couldn't find any words to say.
The monk walked forward slowly and stopped in front of a stone slab. He turned his head and said: "We can't go any further, this is where the Barrier are. What you see is not an illusion, but a real picture. These are the people who provided my wine and meat. "
"Who are they?" Lee Yang said in surprise.
"Slave, slave of Da Ci Temple." When the monk said this, his mood was clearly sorrowful. He sat on the stone platform and took a big gulp of wine, then silently stared at those who were working nearby.1
Behind the cave, there was an open field. Dozens of people were fighting in the field, and their movements were a little slow but they didn't have any expression on their face. Lee Yang's first impression was that these people were all Yan Armour. However, the monk's expression didn't seem like it at all.
Lee Yang always felt that something was amiss when so many people had appeared within the boundaries of the Da Ci Temple.
The monks also said that these people were slaves.
Could it be that Da Ci Temple raised slaves?
"Kid, didn't you want to know my name? I am the current overseer of the Fang family, the Martial Granduncle. Back then, I was sent to the Damoor's Cave to guard this group of people forever because I was punished by Senior Brother for speaking up for this group of slaves. Items could pass through Barrier s, but not people. They could only enter, they couldn't exit. Every night, these people would place my food in here. Originally, there was no wine, but after senior caught someone who knows how to brew wine, I had wine to drink. "Haha, originally, your fate was also sent to the back, but I still have some face, so I'm requesting for you to stay. Otherwise, you would have become like them long ago." He laughed, but there was a hint of desolation in his laughter.
Lee Yang couldn't understand the reason for this.
"Da Ci Temple is a self-sufficient temple, they would never buy anything from the outside world, even if the monks in the temple went down the mountain, they would definitely not bring anything back. Although there weren't many monks, it still consumed a lot of food every day. These things come from the hands of the people you see. They have been working here year after year, helping the Da Ci Temple to grow grain. " The old man said in an indifferent tone.
"This is too cruel. He lives in such a small place forever that he can't even see the outside world. " Lee Yang said angrily, "The outlaws are kind and compassionate. Even Buddha wouldn't forgive you for doing this."
"Yes, cruel. But what could he do? These people were all followers of Da Ci Temple back then and voluntarily went up the mountain to help cultivate food in Da Ci Temple. However, they never would have thought that they would never be able to leave after arriving here. Moreover, they didn't know which generation this rule started from, but every year, there would be many people who would inexplicably appear in the back mountain to replace those who had died. Then they began to nurture the next generation, and the next generation continued to repeat what they had done. In history, there had been riots before, and they wanted to escape from this place. However, he was subjected to a ruthless suppression. In order to prevent these people from continuing their rebellion, they were given pills every year to control them. This is the Da Ci Temple, a temple that carried the banner of saving the common people, yet was currently doing something that violated the heavens' will. "
"Too shameless. He never thought that the respected Da Ci Temple would actually do such a thing. Are you still human? " Lee Yang was furious. He rushed over and wanted to beat Ye Zichen up, but Ye Zichen took him down in one move and threw him onto the ground after he hit his acupoint.
"When I first found out about this, I was as angry as you were. I didn't even mind falling out with senior brother, but I ended up forever trapped in this place. Your strength is not even on par with mine, and wanting to save this group of people is even more wishful thinking. Brat, the strength of your Da Ci Temple is not something you can shake right now. If you want to save these people, you must first become strong. The peak of the Heaven Rank is what you have to struggle against. Otherwise, you can never speak nonsense about being able to defeat the Da Ci Temple. " "Your Inherent Skill surprised me. You have already reached the Heaven Rank at such a young age. It can be said to be quite a legend. But it's still far from enough, kid. "
"What are you trying to say?" Lee Yang said angrily as he laid on the ground.
"I just wanted you to see the truth. Besides, isn't it you who wants to know the truth?" At this time, a child jumped in front of the Barrier with a basket in her hands. When the child saw the basket in front of her, he smiled at her and pushed the basket inside the Barrier.
"Great Monk, why did you come so early today?" "Did you come here to tell me a story?" The child smiled as he looked at the ring, then put on a serious expression as if he was listening to a lecture.
A monk and a child started to chat with a Barrier. The ring told him about the outside world, but Lee Yang didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that it was too cruel.
The story went on for about an hour, and the child listened to it, but he had to leave.
"Great monk, is the outside world really as good as you say?" I want to know what cars and planes look like. But Mom said we'd never get out of here. Big Monk, why? Why can't I leave here? I also want to go out and see the outside world. " The child looked up at the sky, lost in his thoughts.
After breaking Lee Yang's acupoints, he smiled and said to the child, "This big brother is from the outside world. He knows what planes and cars look like. Why don't you let him tell you a story tomorrow?"
The child excitedly said, "Really? "Are you really from outside?"
Looking at his child's innocent face, Lee Yang nodded forcefully: "I know, tomorrow I'll tell you stories. I'll tell you all the stories you want to know."
The child made a sound of assent before skipping away. Not long after, he turned around and said loudly, "Big monk, the wine today has just been brewed. It's very nice to drink."
Ye Zichen took out the wine from the basket, then uncorked the cork, causing a strong aroma to waft out. He then gulped a large mouthful, and heroically said, "Good wine."
Lee Yang also stopped worrying about the hygiene this time and took a big gulp from the wine pot. However, his heart was very sour.
These people were livestock raised by the Da Ci Temple. They would only be able to see the square inch of sky in their lifetime. He had an endless desire for the outside world, but he could never break through the trap that had been set down for him.
