"Sure enough, something is wrong..."

Du Bai looked around and frowned deeply. Looking up, although the temple was very clean and tidy, it was not angry.

Even the candles on the candlesticks were burning without any temperature, but they felt strangely cold in the red flames.

It's like...no one has lived here for a long time.

He had guessed a possibility in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, his expression becoming more solemn.

I roughly sensed the direction of the center of the temple, which is a relatively low, simple and ordinary Buddhist temple.

The source of Buddha power that maintains this entire temple is roughly centered there, with an oval barrier covering the entire area.

He turned around and walked towards it.

But at this moment, in the quiet and deserted environment, two young monks in gray monk robes suddenly walked out of the corner in front of them, holding bamboo brooms in their hands, talking quietly while walking towards the open space in front of the hall, as if they were about to clean up the fallen leaves and do their homework.

"There are still people here?"

After being slightly stunned, Du Bai glanced over the two of them, his eyes narrowed, then he shook his head secretly, ignored them, and continued to walk towards the Buddhist temple.

And the two little monks seemed to have not seen him at all, and walked side by side.

Both sides passed by each other tacitly, and no one looked at each other.

After walking to the front of the Buddhist temple, some monks had appeared around at some point, some were older, some were young, some were practicing martial arts, some were chanting Buddhist scriptures, and some were sweeping the floor and chopping wood to do their homework.

With a flying expression, talking and laughing, and a rosy face, the entire temple seemed to become vibrant at this moment, just like a prosperous scene a long time ago.

It seems that everything is harmonious in the scene, but it is obvious that there is one thing in common

They all turned a blind eye to Du Bai or the Nightmare Dragon King who passed by the crowd.

It was as if such a person had never appeared in their eyes.

If this strange and inexplicable scene falls into the eyes of others, I am afraid that goosebumps will rise and fall and run away.

However, when Du Bai stepped into this area, he was already mentally prepared and naturally he would not be frightened.

There is even a sense of familiarity!

"These monks... must have all died..."

Du Bai suddenly stopped in front of the door of the Buddhist temple, and his eyes slowly swept over the monks behind him. He could see that they were not paying attention to him at this time, but were just doing what they were doing.

However, when he pressed his hand on the closed door, all his eyes were instantly focused!

All monks, no matter how far and near, stopped strangely and turned their heads to look at him, staring at him with a tight look, but they looked very empty because they could not find the target, and their bodies were stiff like walking corpses.

"really……"

This scene is really familiar.

Du Bai sighed in his heart.

At the same time, with a little force in his hand, the door in front of him was quickly pushed open.

Just as the door opened, the monks outside did not attack him as expected, but suddenly returned to their previous state and continued their previous actions as if nothing had happened.

It's like nothing happened just now.

"It seems that there is still some difference."

Du Bai retracted the attention he placed on the monks and turned to the center of the Buddhist temple.

A huge golden Buddha statue stands. Even when sitting cross-legged, it still stands on the beam of the room, with its head slightly looking down, its eyebrows and eyes charitable, and its mouth slightly raised, as if it is a true Buddha who saves all living beings, with the heart of the world and the most sacred vision.

But what really attracted Du Bai's attention was not this Buddha statue, but a small wooden table wrapped in golden cloth in front of the Buddha statue, and what should be displayed on it.

The Buddha aura emitted from it is much richer than the huge Buddha statue, and it is also the source of energy that truly envelops this temple.

Du Bai can guess what it is without looking at it.

"The relics of Zen Master Lingyou after the fall of…"

Even a living Buddha cannot be resurrected from the dead. It may be a destined destiny to become a relics and be worshipped here forever.

Especially now that the immortals and gods have disappeared.

But what Du Bai really didn't expect was that the other party's Buddha nature could almost be regarded as the most powerful existence he had ever seen!

Even Fahai, who awakened the memories of the true Buddha in his previous life, was slightly inferior to him!

That is the true distance from the True Buddha!

Even this step is an almost insurmountable natural barrier, but perhaps the other party is the one who has ever been the closest to the peak among all human races.

"Maybe it is precisely because of this that there is such a deep prestige that the monks will not leave even if they die. They can even use the Buddha nature here to form such a strange scene of Buddha ghosts..."

Du Bai had already had some speculations about the situation of this temple.

He also recalled the strange scene of the Suwon Village that he saw a long time ago at the beginning of his time travel.

There are certain similarities between the two.

After the dead died, their souls remained in place, and they didn't even know that they were dead, and they were still doing daily behaviors during their lifetime, just like living people.

Before this strange disguise is exposed, they may not even realize that they are not living people.

But the difference is also very obvious.

The ghosts in Suwon Village were forcibly bound by that mysterious existence, repeatedly enduring the pain before death, in order to enhance their resentment and form a kind of evil existence like a ghost.

However, here, these monks voluntarily and even want to stay and protect and accompany this living Buddha.

The Buddha nature left by the living Buddha echoes this wish and creates this strange temple without living people today.

So it seems that the actions of these monks are very strange, but in fact they are not aggressive, just like they are really vegetarian monks chanting scriptures.

The only difference is that the monks elsewhere are living people, while the monks here are dead people.

Even if other pilgrims mistakenly enter this place, they will not notice any strangeness. They just think that they are taciturn and do not like to deal with outsiders.

If you are willing to sing a stick of incense, you may also receive a response from "Amitabha".

And they could not detect Du Bai's existence, just because Du Bai's body is not a living person now.

And because he deliberately restrained his breath, for them, he was no different from a ball of air or weeds on the side of the road.

After thinking through these reasons, Du Bai did not disturb the lives of the monks, but instead looked at the relics emitting a faint golden light, and then sat down cross-legged on the ground.

"Zen Master Lingyou, it's been a long time since we met."

He sighed quietly and said in a deep voice.
