559: Section 559

When Lin Yi arrived in front of the temple.

He looked at the solemn and magnificent temple before him.

Outside the gate stood a bronze tripod.

In front of the bronze tripod, there was also an incense burner.

The incense within was burning vigorously, with smoke curling endlessly.

There were even some pilgrims kneeling before this bronze tripod, paying their respects.

Lin Yi walked past them without any intention of stopping.

Passing through the temple gate, he entered the temple grounds.

Although there were still some pilgrims kneeling and praying devoutly.

However, compared to the daytime, it was already somewhat quieter.

Lin Yi took out his backpack and put it on.

He walked past the doors of one hall after another.

Whenever he reached a hall entrance, Lin Yi would stop, press his palms together, and offer a bow.

Looking at the statues of Buddha inside, with their benevolent expressions.

Lin Yi's face also became increasingly devout.

Until he arrived at the main hall.

He heard the sound of wooden fish coming from inside the hall.

Several young monks were sitting inside, chanting scriptures while striking the wooden fish.

After some pilgrims who had come to pray for blessings finished their devout worship.

They took out money and dropped it into the Karma box.

Lin Yi stood outside the door and took a glance at the huge Buddha statue inside the hall.

However, he had no intention of going inside.

He just stood outside the hall door, gazing at that Buddha statue.

After a long while, an Old Monk wearing a kasaya walked over.

"Amitabha..."

Hearing the Buddhist greeting, Lin Yi quickly turned around and returned the gesture with his palms pressed together.

"This old monk has observed you, benefactor, watching here for a long time, and I am quite curious!"

"You have come to the temple, benefactor, yet you do not pay respects to the Buddha. What is the reason for this?"

After The Old Monk finished speaking.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You flatter me, Great Master!"

"Tell me, does the Buddha save the wicked, or the good?"

"This..."

When Lin Yi finished speaking, The Old Monk's expression changed slightly.

He frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Yi.

Before he could answer, Lin Yi continued with a smile, "If a wicked person uses the Buddha as protection, hiding behind the Buddha, would you say this Buddha is saving the wicked, or the good?"

The Old Monk looked up at Lin Yi.

At this moment, his eyes were already somewhat strange.

Lin Yi continued with a smile, "Great Master, do not misunderstand. I was just speaking on impulse, rambling a bit!"

"I heard that the vegetarian meals at Jinzhong Temple are quite good, the taste is excellent!"

"I wonder if I might have the honor of tasting your temple's vegetarian meal?"

The Old Monk pressed his palms together and bowed, saying, "Amitabha. Our temple's vegetarian meals have always been provided free of charge to pilgrims. If you do not mind, benefactor, you may stay and taste our temple's vegetarian meal!"

"Provided for free? That's great!"

"This way, benefactor!"

After The Old Monk finished speaking, he led the way.

Lin Yi followed behind him and walked towards the Cafeteria.

The place where pilgrims ate was not with the monks.

Instead, it was a separate place similar to a Cafeteria.

Tables and chairs were set up here, and there were monks responsible for serving them food.

You could take as much as you could eat; they weren't afraid of you eating too much, only of you wasting it.

After Lin Yi walked in.

He saw that there were only three or four tables of people sitting there sparsely.

In front of them, all were served some vegetarian dishes.

Lin Yi took a food tray and walked towards the monks.

They pressed their palms together and first gave Lin Yi a deep bow.

Then they served Lin Yi food.

Two steamed buns, one cucumber stir-fried with egg, one tofu dish, some small pickles, and a small bowl of egg soup.

After Lin Yi got his food, he found an empty table and sat down.

Just after tasting one bite, Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

I have to say, the taste of this vegetarian meal is indeed quite good.

Lin Yi lowered his head and ate with satisfaction.

However, just at the back of the temple.

In a room.

A person wearing a black robe walked in hurriedly.

Inside, a middle-aged Black-robed Man was sitting cross-legged there.

The moment someone came in, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Speak!"

"My Lord, people from the Martial Suppression Bureau have appeared in Shanyang City, Heli City, Pingjiang City, and Shiquan City..."

"And they will be taking action tonight!"

Hearing this, a faint smile crossed the Middle-aged Man's face.

A cold look flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, "That is good. Since they have delivered themselves to our doorstep, then let them stay there forever!"

"By the way, is that newly appointed Chief Commander among them?"

Hearing this, the Black-robed Man shook his head.

"There is no news of Lin Yi yet. As the Chief Commander, he should be in the rear, commanding the operations, right?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Black-robed Man smiled and shook his head.

"You do not understand this Lin Yi. He became Chief Commander at such a young age; he must be young and hot-headed!"

"Let him command from the rear? How could he be willing to do that!"

"Continue to send people to investigate and see which city he is in. Once he is discovered, send more men to encircle and annihilate him!"

"As long as he dies, our crisis will be easily resolved!"

"And our plan will be able to proceed smoothly!"

Upon hearing these words.

The Black-robed Man quickly nodded, "Yes, My Lord!"

After finishing, he quietly retreated outside.

After the person left, the Middle-aged Man took off the black robe he was wearing.

It was surprisingly a bald monk.

He was still wearing a set of monk's robes, and he got up and walked outside.

From the backyard, he walked all the way to the front of the temple.

And walked into the Cafeteria where the pilgrims were eating vegetarian meals.

Lin Yi looked up and glanced at him.

[7-Star Martial Artist Certification]

[Crooked Mind (Purple): Lacking benevolence, harboring ulterior motives]

[Born Rebel (Purple): Innate rebellious personality, already reached a point difficult to correct]

[Blood Handprint Mark: A mark of the mindset of a certain organization or religion]

When Lin Yi saw the talent entries of the person who walked in.

A faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Ever since he stepped into Kunshan, including the man at the inn at the foot of the mountain.

Their talents all had the [Blood Handprint Mark] entry.

In other words, Lin Yi had not come to the wrong place.

This Kunshan Jinzhong Temple was the headquarters of the Blood Handprint in the New District.

He just glanced at that Middle-aged Man.
