Medicine Master Bodhisattva walked silently through the deserted street, the shop doors on both sides were closed, and a mouse suddenly jumped out of the ditch on the street, swaggering.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva was not angry either, just a little numb.
He stopped and looked back at the city gate. The name of the city Medicine Master City was written on the other end of the outer city wall.
This is the place where he attained enlightenment. With his status in Thunderclap Temple, this is also the most powerful and prosperous city around.
Medicine Master City is surrounded by thousands of miles, but in fact it is his "territory", and the people here are all his believers.
Therefore, he knows the city very well:
There are nearly 1.2 million residents in Medicine Master City. If the merchants and farmers from the surrounding areas are included, at least 1.5 million people live in the city every day.
Even special festivals, such as his Enlightenment Day, will be celebrated in this city for seven days and seven nights. There is no curfew and the restaurants and inns in the city will not stop for seven days.
At that time, there would be two to three million people gathered in the city, so many that it would be difficult to find a place to stand.
But that was before.
Now----
He walked towards Thunderclap Branch Temple, looked at the monk officials waiting in front of the branch temple, and asked, "How are the statistics?"
An old monk stood up, opened the household registration book in his hand, and said, "Now in my Medicine Master City, there are at most ---- 120,000 households, 250,000 people."
Even though he knew that Medicine Master City had lost a lot of population, this number still made Medicine Master Bodhisattva feel trembling and even a little suspicious.
Before that, he didn't need these monks to check. Under Divine Way Method's induction, he knew exactly how many believers there were and what the believers were doing.
But the problem is that Blissful Incense made all his believers believe in Blissful Heavenly Maiden. During this period of time, the disaster of Blissful Incense was finally eliminated, but these believers have not restored their belief in Thunderclap Temple. This is very different from what Master thought.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva questioned, "How can there be so few? Only two people per household?"
You know, before Medicine Master City, the average household should have seven or eight people.
The old monk coughed several times, his face flushed, and then said, "Blissful Incense was extremely depleted of vitality. Many families, including children and the elderly, died. Only young and strong men and women survived."
"If Non-Self and others have some cultivation level----"
The monk's words left Medicine Master Bodhisattva silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the monk spoke again, "Bodhisattva, these 250,000 people are also decreasing."
"Decrease?"
"Yes, now we Medicine Master City have neither food nor clothing, and are in need of help." The monk said, "The people in the city are already weak, and now they lack food and clothing, let alone medicine. These days, people are passing away on every street."
Medicine Master Bodhisattva took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
"Go outside the city to see if there is any food left. If there is any, bring it as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
"Those who are seriously ill are sent to me, and I personally diagnose and treat them."
The monk was stunned for a moment, clasped his hands together and praised, "Bodhisattva Mercy!"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva thought very clearly, "Master ordered me to collect the beliefs of these people for him to prove the truth. No matter what, these people cannot die."
"Practicing medicine and distributing medicine is also a way to spread Master's Dharma."
The group of monks and officials hurriedly obeyed the order and left.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva was waiting in the temple, and soon many dying people were brought over.
Although there is no medicine, Medicine Master Bodhisattva is good at saving lives and healing the wounded. More importantly, he is True Immortal. Diagnosing and treating these ordinary patients is just a piece of cake for him.
Gradually, Incense Power one after another began to surround Medicine Master Bodhisattva.
But what puzzled him was that these people gave him very little Incense Power power. Many people even did not become his believers again after receiving treatment.
But there were too many people in need of treatment, and he didn't have time to explore them at the moment.
Until an old man was carried in.
This old man is one of the few elderly people among Medicine Master City. He is now haggard, his eyes are dim and white, and he seems to be invisible.
He was already drowsy, but as soon as he was put on the ground, he seemed to be awakened again, and said in a low voice, "Where is this place?"
"Of course Thunderclap Temple."
Unexpectedly, when he heard the name of the temple, he began to struggle. "Let me go! Let me go!"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva shouted softly, "There is no Blissful Incense here."
There was a soothing power in his voice, and the old man became quiet.
"Who are you?"
"My pharmacist."
"Medicine Master Bodhisattva?"
The old man was startled and seemed to sit up again.
The monk who carried him in held his shoulders and said with a smile, "It's Medicine Master Bodhisattva. Medicine Master Bodhisattva is here to treat you!"
Unexpectedly, the old man struggled again. "I don't need treatment! I don't need treatment!"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva was stunned, and several monks in the room were also stunned.
A monk seemed to think that the old man was ignorant and cursed, "Bring me back a fool who has had enough of his life!"
"I'm stupid!" Unexpectedly, the old man seemed to really not want to live and didn't care about anything. He retorted in a hissing voice, "I have lived for fifty-three years. For fifty-three years, I have to come to Thunderclap Temple to worship Buddha every five days."
"Medicine Master Bodhisattva is worshiped at home, Incense Power continues every day, and during festivals, three animals are sacrificed.
"I have been your disciple Medicine Master Bodhisattva for as long as I can remember!"
The old man seemed to know where Medicine Master Bodhisattva was standing, and looked at him with a pair of pale eyes, with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone.
"But Bodhisattva, two of my four sons died at the hands of your Thunderclap Temple disciples."
"There are two more. For the sake of Blissful Incense, they ignore the whole family and don't even recognize me."
"I looked at my little son in front of me begging me to kill him."
"Watching my grandson die of hunger and illness."
Having said this, the old man suddenly stared at the Medicine Buddha and asked, "Bodhisattva, is this the blessing of my pious life?"
A monk shouted, "What a shame!"
The old man was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled, fell backwards, and lay on the stretcher. He looked at the magnificent dome of the Buddhist temple with a pair of emotionless blind eyes, whether he was recalling or questioning.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva stretched out his palm, stopped the angry Thunderclap Temple disciple, and said, "This Blissful Incense, even us have been tricked, this thing is evil, it is Jade Pool Blissful Heavenly Maiden----"
"Bodhisattva, I often hear those eminent monks say that my family members do not lie. Do you really not know anything about this Blissful Incense question?"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva found himself unable to answer.
Don't you know?
Of course I know.
Four Direction Buddhas used Blissful Incense on a large scale at the beginning, but it was not forced by Jade Pool's Blissful Heavenly Maiden.
The old man's voice became lower and lower. "I don't know what Jade Pool is, I don't know what Blissful Heavenly Maiden is, I only know that the one who let us suck Blissful Incense is the eminent monk of Thunderclap Temple."
"Those who suddenly broke into Medicine Master City and killed my two sons were also Thunderclap Temple's eminent monks."
"I have believed it all my life----"
The old man suddenly stopped talking.
Several monks in the room looked at each other and saw Medicine Master Bodhisattva lowering his eyes.
He is dead.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva suddenly understood why he had gained so little power from Incense Power.
Although these mortals believe in Thunderclap Temple, they are not stupid.
Many people can clearly see who caused the previous Blissful Incense disaster.
He walked out of the monk's room with complicated emotions in his heart - he could sense that even the mortals who believed in him again were no longer so pious to Thunderclap Temple.
Their belief is more based on fear.
"Bodhisattva!"
A figure flew over in a hurry, it was the monk official he sent out to find food.
The expression on the monk's face is difficult to describe. He was a little fond, a little frightened, and even a little angry.
"Have you found any food or fodder?"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva thinks very clearly, no matter how big Divine Ability is, he can't do it without food.
Fortunately, Blissful Heavenly Maiden also understood this problem before and controlled those mortals and monks farming.
It's just that those people are weak and confused, and their food production is not as good as before.
That is to say, Western Continent has a good climate and fertile land, so you can grow edible seeds even if you sow them.
Otherwise, all the people in Medicine Master City might starve to death.
"Looking for----found it!"
"Where?" Pharmacist Buddha Ancestor felt happy and simply said, "Forget it, you take people to harvest and transport it back."
"No luck!"
The monk's expression became more and more strange, and he hesitated a little. Suddenly, a voice came from far behind him. "We sent it."
The person who spoke was a Spirit Transformation monk, man. He flew from a distance and stood in front of Medicine Master Bodhisattva, this True Immortal, without any fear at all.
"You are----"
"I am Maitreya, disciple of Bodhi Institute, Cheng Yun."
"Maitreya people!"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva felt nervous immediately. Medicine Master City was already very close to the city in the hinterland of Thunderclap Temple. People from Maitreya actually arrived here?
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing? Send food!" Unexpectedly, Cheng Yun was even angrier than him, "How could we have imagined that you Thunderclap Temple could make so many people starve to death!"
Cheng Yun is really angry. As a modern person, he can actually understand the oppression and power struggle caused by monks, but he really can't stand it when people starve to death.
The whole Nine Mountains Immortal Court never expected that the monks' strong productivity and Western Continent such fertile land could make so many believers starve to death!
Even Maitreya Body was a little scared, but fortunately he didn't get entangled with Glazed Buddha Ancestor.
In the end, don't say whether you can win or whether there are any surprises.
If we continue to fight, Western Continent may not be able to crow for a thousand miles, and then all Future Buddha will be a joke.
To put it bluntly, if a group of people are fighting over each other, they will only fight for a little Incense Power.
As a result, people are almost dead, and there is still shit Incense Power.
As soon as this problem was discovered, Maitreya Body immediately sent out disciples to go deep into the hinterland of Thunderclap Temple to rescue the famine, in order to save more ordinary people.
Cheng Yun has known Dharma Aspect for a long time. He is also the old man of Nursing Home. He is also in charge all the way. He travels the farthest and sees the most tragic images. He also feels the most anger towards Thunderclap Temple in his heart. Therefore, when he sees Thunderclap Temple disciples, he speaks very rudely.
"Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva said coldly.
He didn't expect that Maitreya's subordinates were so arrogant, and that a Spirit Transformation monk would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.
Cheng Yun smiled and said nothing.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva fell silent.
He really doesn't dare----
Master didn't think clearly about what future Buddha he was still clinging to, but his disciples had already understood that Yi Leiyin Temple was hopeless.
Not only is their strength incomparable to the two Maitreya.
I want to collect Incense Power, but there is no hope. Wanting to restore the secular faith is not something that can happen overnight.
In this case, killing Maitreya's person is tantamount to seeking death.
He was even confused as to why Maitreya would sell Pure Tranquility Spirit Water to Master.
But he understands that no matter what the reason is, this does not mean that Maitreya people are easy to mess with. On the contrary, Nine Mountains Sect has always had a reputation of protecting shortcomings.
Just because someone won't hit you doesn't mean they can't kill you.
Seemingly seeing his doubts, or someone asking, Cheng Yun said directly, "Keep fighting, Western Continent will be finished."
Medicine Master Bodhisattva fell silent, and the old man from before flashed before his eyes.
"Pure Tranquility Spirit Water Whether it's food or food, it's never for you." Cheng Yun waved behind him, and several modern monks flew over, "It's for these mortals in the city."
"We have food, medicine, and seeds in our hands."
Cheng Yun didn't lie.
Modern World may not be a strong monk, but his production capacity far exceeds that of the Western Continent.
Just the food rations for hundreds of thousands of people like Medicine Master City are nothing compared to the output of modern agriculture.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva is really grateful: "Thank you so much----"
"Thank you for what?"
Medicine Master Bodhisattva was stunned.
Then Cheng Yun had a sneer on his face, "You don't think we will give these things to you, do you?"
Cheng Yun waved his hand and said with a sneer, "You spread your Buddhism, and I spread my Buddhism. I don't care what you do, and you can't even think about the benefits of whoring."
They are here for disaster relief.
But it doesn't mean that they are not really doing charity, they also want to collect the power of Incense Power, and this is even their main purpose.
This Medicine Master Bodhisattva is also so beautiful.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva I understand, at this stage Maitreya They don't care about themselves, Leiyin disciples, their thoughts are all on these mortals.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva hesitated.
The smile on Cheng Yun's face disappeared, "We are not here to ask for your consent, but to inform you."
"We don't want to conflict with you now because we are afraid of delaying the business and fearing that more people will die. But you have to understand that our business is to let the people in this city have food to eat and clothing to wear."
"Whoever obstructs us is our enemy."
Medicine Master Bodhisattva gritted his teeth.
Of course he was not afraid of Cheng Yun, but the unruly tone in Cheng Yun's tone made him understand Maitreya's confidence, and he did not even dare to doubt the authenticity of this sentence.
After a long time, he closed his eyes.
Cheng Yun smiled, as if he had expected it. He nodded back and landed in the city with a few modern monks behind him.
Medicine Master Bodhisattva Although he didn't dare to stop him, he always paid attention to the actions of several people.
Cheng Yun and the others did not go towards Thunderclap Temple. Instead, they flew around the city and found a few deserted courtyards.
A monk stood on the street and threw out the Zhang Ling Talisman.
Several strange-looking iron lumps dropped from the sky, stretched out their iron arms, and began to push against the wall.
In just a few seconds, several adjacent yards were bulldozed.
What is this?
Medicine Master Bodhisattva was curious and heard the monk muttering, "Who do you think studied this Excavator Talisman? It's quite useful."
What is Excavator Talisman? I have never heard of Medicine Master Bodhisattva.
He just felt that these monks were weirder than he had ever seen before - not only did they like these weird machines, they also had several strange Mighty Warrior Talismans that worked extremely fast.
He had never seen such skillful and diverse monks in building houses.
After three sticks of incense, a temple was built that occupies a small area.
Cheng Yun With a wave of his hand, there was a plaque above the temple gate.
When he saw the words Great Thunderclap Temple on the plaque, Medicine Master Bodhisattva's face darkened, and he always felt that he had been taken advantage of.
