C451 Loss of Five Viscera
The moment the young monk said this, Hui Chen, Warrior Monk, and the middle-aged monk's expressions all changed. The other men also changed their expressions, and one of them quickly grabbed the young monk's sleeves and asked, "What happened?"
"Yes, it's Uncle Hui Ling who asked me to call you two Uncle-Master. Lord Abbot is fast, almost out of luck!" The young monk looked terrified and was about to cry.
Hearing this, Hui Chen and Hui Min didn't have the time to care about Ding Yi and Jin Wudao. Without saying anything further, they hurriedly ran into the temple.
"Master, should we go take a look?" Jin Wudao's expression was also a little strange.
Things didn't seem to be as they expected. Was Master Yuanjue really injured? Thinking of this, Ding Yi pondered for a moment before walking forward. "Let's go take a look!"
"Master Yuanjue can't get into trouble, otherwise, it won't be that easy for us to enter the underground palace." With that, Ding Yi took the lead and walked forward.
Jin Wudao naturally knew this logic. If something happened to Master Yuanjue and the only person who knew about him was gone, it would not be easy for them to enter the underground mansion again.
"Halt, what are you all trying to do?!" The group of Warrior Monk's face did not look good to begin with, but when they saw that Ding Yi and Jin Wudao were still preparing to barge in, their faces instantly turned green. One of them berated even more, "You've put Lord Abbot in danger, are you still trying to barge into my White Horse Temple?"
"Everyone attack together. Even if he has Martial Arts Grandmaster Stage, we can't allow him to take even half a step into the temple!" The moment he said that, a group of Warrior Monk immediately came up to welcome him as if they were facing a common enemy.
Even though they knew that they were no match for Jin Wudao, they still did not hesitate to block their path. This made Ding Yi a little surprised and he couldn't help but nod his head.
"I'm not from Chen Family, I really have something to talk to Master Yuanjue about." Ding Yi looked at the group of young Warrior Monk and said indifferently, "You can't stop me, and I have no ill intentions towards your Reverend Fang. Get out of my way!"
"No!"
"Unless they step on us!"
However, no matter how Ding Yi said it, the group of Warrior Monk did not move at all. They were not afraid of Ding Yi or Jin Wudao at all.
Seeing this scene, Ding Yi frowned. Although he knew that this group of people were here for the White Horse Temple, he did not have that much time to talk nonsense with these people, so without any hesitation, he took a stride and appeared in front of Warrior Monk like a ghost. He gently pushed with his palms, and a terrifying force suddenly appeared.
The next moment, the group of people landed on the ground. All of their expressions changed. No one expected Ding Yi to be so strong that the dozen of them did not even have the strength to fight back.
When they struggled to get up, Ding Yi and Jin Wudao had already walked into the White Horse Temple, leaving only one in front and one behind.
"Oh no! Come with me quickly! We can't let them in!"
"Hurry up!"
It was unknown who shouted it, but everyone's expression changed drastically. They did not care about the pain in their bodies as they hurriedly chased after it.
The White Horse Temple was very high, but there weren't many monks. Aside from the dozen or so Warrior Monk that he had met before, he could only occasionally see one or two monks holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves under a tree.
Fortunately, Jin Wudao had come here before. Although he was not familiar with White Horse Temple, he still knew where White Horse Temple's inner meditation room was. At this moment, he carried Ding Yi along the familiar road and quickly arrived in front of a row of meditation rooms.
On both sides of the courtyard was a willow tree. In the current weather, the willow leaves were already yellow and the ground was littered with curling yellow leaves.
An old monk was slowly sweeping the fallen leaves. He wore a grey robe and had no expression on his face. He was like a dead tree, without any signs of life. Other than constant footsteps, it was hard to tell that he was alive.
At this moment, the old monk finally raised his head when he noticed the arrival of Ding Yi and Jin Wudao. When his gaze landed on Jin Wudao, his eyes revealed a trace of undetectable surprise.
"Sir, please stop." The old monk remained calm and collected as he stood in front of the gate. The broom in his hand was still swinging, and his hoarse voice carried a hint of calmness, "The meditation is the inner sanctum of the White Horse Temple. It is a resting place for all monks. Please leave."
"Master, we came to see Master Yuanjue." Hearing the old monk's words, Jin Wudao hurriedly cupped his fist and bowed, continuing, "I am Jin Wudao, the patriarch of the Jiangnan Jin Family, and have come from far away to come to Capital City. I have come to seek an audience with Master Yuanjue.
"Perception?" The old monk was stunned for a moment, then helplessly shook his head and sighed, "You guys came late. Just a short while ago, someone had set up a trap for you guys, and now you guys' internal organs are all damaged."
"Destruction of internal organs?!" Jin Wudao's expression changed.
Although Master Yuanjue's strength was only at Martial Arts Master's realm, but after many years of studying Zen techniques, he could be considered an expert. How could he be ambushed and have his internal organs damaged?
"That's right, the internal injuries of all five organs are extremely serious, and only those who have reached Ethereality Stage can treat them. It's a pity that Ethereality Stage is such a profound realm, but where in the world would one find such an expert?" At this point, the old monk suddenly sighed, his eyes revealing a trace of guilt.1
This trace of guilt was keenly caught by Ding Yi. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he sized up this old monk. In his heart, however, he was a little surprised, this old monk actually knew Ethereality Stage?
"Ethereality Stage? What realm is that? " At this moment, Jin Wudao frowned and asked in confusion.
Even Jin Wudao didn't know what Ethereality Stage was, because Ding Yi didn't teach him anything about Grandmaster Stage. Even the cultivation method that he had previously given Jin Wudao was only a cultivation method for Grandmaster Stage.
"Ethereality Stage, that is the realm above the Grandmaster Stage. It is said that those who can reach the Ethereality Stage will never eat the fire and smoke of the mortal world, and can truly transcend the mortal world. If they cultivate to a high level, they can shed their mortal body, and from then on, ascend into the Immortal Realm!" The old monk's eyes revealed a look of hope, for the first time he looked up to the sky, and grinned: "My White Horse Temple was initially founded by Tang Loong, a Ethereality Stage expert!"
"Maybe I can help Master Yuanjue." At this moment, Ding Yi spoke.
Hearing Ding Yi's words, Jin Wudao was stunned, then revealed a surprised look, fiercely patting his forehead, thinking how could he have forgotten about this, master's strength is unfathomable, maybe master is an expert in Ethereality Stage?
The old monk was also surprised for a moment, but then he quickly shook his head and smiled, "Young man, I appreciate your good intentions, but you must have a high level of inner force to treat your internal injuries …"
"How about this, if you can take one of this old monk's blows, this old monk will let you go in and try it out." The old monk seemed to have thought of something and suddenly changed his words.
