I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Chapter 172 Bodhisattva's Head Severed! Buddha Receives Punishment!

The technician operating the drone immediately stopped the flight.

The image freezes.

Master Xuanming leaned closer to the screen to observe it carefully.

"Look here."

He pointed to the postures of several corpses in the picture.

"This monk's knife is stuck in the chest of the monk opposite him."

"And the monk opposite him had a knife stuck in his chest."

"And over there."

He pointed to another spot.

"The three monks had their weapons stuck in each other's bodies, forming a triangle."

President Qin's pupils contracted.

"Senior, do you mean...?"

Master Xuanming raised his head and looked at him.

His gaze was solemn.

"They did not encounter an external enemy."

"It's infighting."

After listening, President Qin remained silent for a long time.

He stared at those images, a chill that was hard to describe rising in his heart.

What kind of power could drive all the monks in a temple to such madness that they would kill each other?

"Continue," Master Xuanming said in a deep voice.

The drone continued flying forward.

The camera pans across more areas.

Suddenly, President Qin's eyes narrowed.

"Stop! Move back a little!"

The technician quickly took action.

The scene rewinds.

President Qin stared at a building wreck on the screen, his pupils slightly contracting.

The shape of the wreckage, the location of the column base, the style of the steps...

He had seen it.

On his way to Tiantai Mountain, he saw the replica of the Guoqing Temple structure by the archaeological team.

The same.

"This is Guoqing Temple," President Qin murmured.

Master Xuanming looked at him.

"Is President Qin sure?"

President Qin nodded.

"The structural diagrams replicated by the archaeological team should be accurate."

"The dilapidated temple in this secret realm is Guoqing Temple."

Everyone fell silent.

Guoqing Temple.

That ancient temple, built by imperial decree during the Sui Dynasty.

That is the ancestral temple of the Tiantai sect.

That place, in legend, is known for producing many eminent monks.

It turned into...

A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

The drone continued flying forward.

The scene then moves deeper into the temple grounds.

The buildings on both sides are more densely packed, but also more dilapidated.

Suddenly, several statues appeared in the scene.

They are Bodhisattvas and Arhats in Buddhism.

But at this moment, these statues...

None of them are complete.

Everything was dismantled and torn to pieces.

Guanyin's head was severed.

Manjushri broke his arm.

Samantabhadra's lotus throne was smashed to pieces.

Those fierce-looking Vajras were dismembered and scattered all over the ground.

Every statue has been subjected to the most extreme desecration.

It was as if someone was using this method to vent some kind of insane hatred.

"What on earth is going on..." Zhou Ge murmured.

No one could answer him.

The drone continued its ascent.

Flying over a dilapidated corridor, an even more magnificent building appeared ahead.

Although most of it has collapsed, the remaining foundation and column bases still reveal its original scale.

That is the Mahavira Hall.

The drone slowly flew into the hall.

then.

Everyone witnessed a horrifying scene.

In the very center of the hall, a huge Buddha statue sat quietly.

But the appearance of the Buddha statue sends chills down one's spine.

There was a large hole in the Buddha statue's chest.

Through that hole, you can see the wall behind it.

A tin staff is inserted into each of the Buddha's eyes.

The tin staff pierced deep into his eye socket, with only half of the staff protruding.

A monk's knife was slashed horizontally into the nose of the Buddha statue, with almost the entire blade embedded in it.

A vajra is inserted into each of the Buddha's ears.

The pestle protruded from behind the ear, with dark red marks still remaining on it.

The Buddha statue's mouth was stuffed with a huge wooden fish.

The wooden fish was stuffed too deep, tearing the corner of the Buddha statue's mouth.

The entire Buddha statue was tortured beyond recognition.

Miserable.

"Is this... Buddha?"

President Qin stared at the screen, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking with difficulty.

Master Xuanming nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"The supreme being of Buddhism."

"His status in Buddhism is no less than that of the founder of Taoism."

In an instant, the atmosphere outside the cave entrance became so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Buddha.

The supreme being of Buddhism.

Even if they are just wooden or clay sculptures, before the end of the Dharma era, they will possess incredible power due to the offerings of countless believers and the blessings of practitioners.

I long to create the world I envision through writing, all in "Selling Peach Wood Swords on Live Stream: How Did I Become a Taoist Ancestor?"

who is it?

Who dares to commit such blasphemy?

The drone continued to hover over the main hall.

The camera slowly panned across the horribly mangled Buddha statue.

President Qin stared at the screen, his eyes growing increasingly horrified.

The weapons stuck in the Buddha statues were all eerie.

Stupa, cleaver, vajra, wooden fish...

These were once Buddhist ritual implements.

Now, however, it has become a tool for blaspheming Buddha.

"senior."

When President Qin spoke, his voice was somewhat hoarse.

What's your opinion?

Master Xuanming remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he slowly began to speak.

"These ritual implements are all Buddhist items."

"The only people who would dare to use these ritual implements to blaspheme the Buddha are probably members of the Buddhist community itself."

President Qin's pupils contracted.

Another round of infighting?

The monks killed each other.

The statues of Bodhisattvas and Arhats were destroyed.

Now even Buddha statues are being desecrated like this...

What exactly happened back then?

At this moment, the drone slowly withdrew from the main hall and continued its exploration.

We passed through a collapsed monastery and circled around a collapsed stupa.

The scene shows a relatively intact courtyard.

The courtyard was small, with a few low houses, and looked like a residential area.

A drone flew into the courtyard.

The camera pans across the houses.

Suddenly, Master Xuanming's eyes narrowed.

"stop."

The technician immediately pressed the pause button.

Master Xuanming stared at a spot on the screen.

It was a house that looked very ordinary.

There are two old, dead trees at the entrance, and a well under the trees.

The door to the house was half open, and there were some simple tables and chairs neatly arranged inside.

But what caught Master Xuanming's attention was not the room or its furnishings.

But...

The surrounding environment of this house.

There were no bodies.

There was no blood.

There were no signs of a battle.

Even the dead trees looked like they died naturally, rather than being destroyed by external forces.

In this sea of ​​corpses and blood, this room seemed out of place.

"This place..." Master Xuanming murmured.

President Qin also noticed something was wrong.

He looked closely at the image on the screen.

indeed.

It's so clean here compared to other places.

It was eerily clean.

"This is..." Master Xuanming squinted his eyes.

"This is the kitchen."

"Or rather... the dining hall."

President Qin was taken aback.

Dining hall?

He looked at it carefully.

really.

Next to those tables and chairs, there were also some fragments of pots and pans.

There were even traces of a stove in the corner.

It is indeed a kitchen.

But why...?

The entire temple had become a battlefield, but this place remained clean and tidy.

A strong sense of unease welled up in President Qin's heart.

This cleanliness is so eerie.

It was eerie and gave me the creeps.

"Let the drone go in and take a look," he said.

The technician nodded and controlled the drone to slowly fly into the dining hall.

The camera pans across the tables and chairs.

Sweep over the stove.

Sweep over the pile of firewood in the corner.

Everything is normal.

Sudden.

The drone footage flickered.

Then it returned to normal.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ge asked.

The technician frowned.

"The signal is a bit unstable, probably because we're too far away."

President Qin stared at the screen.

The video continues.

The drone flew over the depths of the dining hall, where there was a small door.

The door was half open.

It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything.

"Let's go in and take a look," said President Qin.

The drone slowly passed through the small door.

The screen suddenly went dark.

then.

The signal was interrupted.

The screen turned into static.

"What happened?" Zhou Ge asked urgently.

The technician was sweating profusely as he frantically operated the remote control.

"Signal lost! Completely out of contact!"

"What about the other three?"

"We can't contact them anymore! Everyone's out of contact!"

President Qin stood still, staring at the screen filled with static.

The unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

Behind that small door...

What exactly is it?
