Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 184: Chapter 129 Asceticism_3

There were no signs of a fight within the temple, nor any traces of blood. All the way forward, everything was neatly arranged.

After crossing the main hall, they entered the backyard, where each door was locked.

When he came to the room where Master Hongyun resided, he saw a letter wedged between the doors of the room.

Su Mo casually took out deer skin gloves from his waist and put them on before taking out the letter, which read: “To Su, the Chief of the Escort, with respect!”

“For me?”

Su Mo slightly raised his eyebrow, opened the letter, and read it quickly from start to finish.

His expression became strange for a moment.

He shook his head and swiftly left the Hongyun Temple, returning to his horse and mounting it.

Yang Xiaoyun looked at him: “What is it?”

“…Take a look for yourself.”

He handed the letter to Yang Xiaoyun.

Then he gestured for everyone to turn back and continue on their journey.

Nobody asked for details. After Yang Xiaoyun read the letter, she was also dumbfounded: “Master Hongyun is taking these mountain bandits to endure hardships across the world?”

“Indeed…”

Su Mo touched his nose: “Master Hongyun wrote in the letter, these people are stubborn because they have no chains on them, and they have not seen the suffering of humanity. Merely reading Buddhist scriptures misses the profound teachings; only by experiencing hardships can they truly empathize.

“In the midst of the sea of suffering, experiencing all sorts of bitterness and difficulties of the world, only then can they completely cleanse the malevolence within themselves.

“Moreover, along the way, he also plans to convert as many evil people as possible, joining him on this arduous journey.”

Yang Xiaoyun took a sharp breath: “Isn’t this going to cause chaos?”

Su Mo nodded: “This chaos is not going to be small.”

Master Hongyun has a good ambition, to convert evil people and set them back on the Righteous Path.

But the problem is, there are always people who don’t want to live under the will of others.

If Master Hongyun was only in Hongyun Temple, collecting people from all directions and converting them one by one, it could still be manageable.

But now, there’s this inexplicable journey of hardship.

Passing through this route, every mountain village along the way might suffer.

And, the distinction between good and evil is not so simple.

There are many in Jianghu who walk between light and dark, how can things be purely black and white?

Not to mention, the Luofeng Alliance has done its share of killing and arson, but the areas of Four Cities, Three Rivers, and Two Bays under Luofeng Alliance’s protection enjoy peace and happiness, untouched by the storms of Jianghu.

Shouldn’t people be thankful for what Luofeng Alliance has done?

If Master Hongyun took these mountain bandit monks to Luoxia City forcing Wei Ruhan to lay down the butcher’s knife and immediately become a Buddha, wouldn’t that cause chaos?

“What should we do?”

Yang Xiaoyun didn’t know how to react for a moment: “Master Hongyun means well, but isn’t this action a bit reckless?”

“Let’s see.”

Su Mo shook his head slightly: “Either way, it’s unstoppable.”

Like Master Hongyun, when determined to do something, he will not listen to advice.

Yang Xiaoyun could only nod upon hearing this.

From there, they continued south and did indeed see Master Hongyun’s influence.

Occasionally encountering robbers blocking the way, but none were significant thieves, and their martial arts were mediocre.

Su Mo casually inquired, and these bandits almost burst into tears.

Some said that a while ago, a group of monks passed through their space, forcibly shaved their heads, and, if willing, inducted them into monkhood right on the spot; those who were unwilling were dispersed.

As for these people, they had regrouped thereafter.

Repeated encounters with such ’roadblocks’ were similar, but further south, no more were met.

Su Mo’s heavenly blade Token came in handy during these encounters, with any bandit or road bully backing off at its presence.

However, inquiring about Master Hongyun’s whereabouts, there were indeed people who had heard something.

They heard about a group of fierce monks coming from the north to the south, and midway, they suddenly turned east.

Until Su Mo and his group reached Hui River, even across the river, people were still discussing.

Some spoke of a group of monks who suddenly arrived at Hui River and traveled downstream, causing chaos wherever they went.

Many people doing business along Hui River felt threatened, planning to confront these monks.

However, those of the large thieves who went ended up not capturing these monks but were instead captured and became part of their group…

At this moment, this group of monks is continuously growing as they proceed along Hui River, still unaware of their intended destination.

Many along the Hui River felt a sense of self-danger, not knowing what this could eventually lead to.

Su Mo was astonished by what he heard, which wasn’t entirely unexpected, but still felt oddly absurd when it actually happened.

…

…

After crossing Hui River, they entered the territory of Luofeng Alliance.

The roads became more familiar.

It was now winter, with snowflakes falling lightly, and both banks of the river were covered in a blanket of white.

As it got late, Su Mo and his group did not hurry along, stopping for the night at the river pier of Hui River.

The inn, though not their regular stop, was still reputable, so they were not overly worried.

In the main hall, a charcoal brazier was set up, the window slightly ajar, and travelers and merchants who had just crossed the river sat around the brazier on the floor, drinking, eating meat, and chatting leisurely.

Su Mo’s arrival drew some attention but was not taken too seriously.

After getting their rooms, Su Mo led his group to sit by the side, called over the waiter, and ordered food and drink, just waiting when he heard someone say:

“That Cloud Catcher Xu Ruoshen, it’s really unexpected that he met his tragic death in Dongcheng…”

Hearing this, both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun felt as if someone had grabbed their necks, shaking them to their core.
