Chapter 1381: Chapter 623: Earth-Shattering Revelation, Who Will Take Responsibility? (Part 2)
After all, it still relies on the incense offerings.
Looking at it from before, although Leiyin Temple played with brainwashing and misleading the ignorant, on the surface, it was acceptable.
This is also why Wu Xin dared to act like this during the disaster of Paradise Fragrance.
The Pharmacist Bodhisattva had a somewhat smug expression on his face.
"Then may I ask, how will Leiyin Temple punish?"
"..."
The Pharmacist Bodhisattva did not answer.
Cheng Yun smiled slightly, looking up at the stage.
Wu Xin, compared to the Chen father and son, was much more audacious. He was captured by the Great Leiyin Temple disciples, yet remained arrogant, standing on the stage, shouting loudly, "Let me go!"
The disciple presiding over the judgment waved, signaling the other disciples to disperse.
Wu Xin snorted, adjusted his monk robes, and coldly looked around.
"Wu Xin, just now Chen Wenting accused you of ordering them to murder Butler’s family of thirty-six, is this true?"
Wu Xin still did not speak, his expression contemptuous, seemingly feeling that the Great Leiyin Temple had no authority to judge him.
The presiding disciple was not impatient, and said, "If you don’t speak, we will consider it as your admission."
"What did I admit? Chen Wenting is a scum of Pharmacist City, do you even believe what he says?" Wu Xin retorted angrily, "I could also say he was instructed by your Great Leiyin Temple to falsely accuse Leiyin Temple!"
Before the presiding disciple could speak, Chen Wenting became anxious:
"Wu Xin, if you hadn’t asked for the Elixir Recipe, where would I have gotten the nerve to kill the Guan family?"
Wu Xin gave him a cold glance, seemingly angry that the Chen father and son dared to implicate him, his tone carried a hint of mana: "This only shows your malicious nature, daring to slander me!"
Chen Wenting’s face turned pale, he stumbled back, supported by his son Chen Weimo.
"Father!"
Chen Weimo cried out in panic, looking at Wu Xin with fear, stammering, unable to speak.
A flash of Thunder Light struck, hitting Wu Xin directly. After the Thunder Light passed, Wu Xin knelt on the ground, his skin bursting, eyes glazed, blood dripping.
The presiding Great Leiyin Temple disciple withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent: "Our principle is voluntary confession."
"But if anyone interferes with the judgment or threatens witnesses, we at Great Leiyin Temple have our means."
Chen Weimo seemed to gain courage, shouting, "We have evidence!"
"Evidence?"
Wu Xin’s expression changed, somewhat panicked.
Holding his unconscious father, Chen Weimo knew that if he did not nail Wu Xin down at this moment, with his tyranny, the entire Chen family would face utter destruction, he shouted:
"When you sent disciples to find us, we recorded it!"
Even Cheng Yun did not expect that the Chen father and son had such a card.
Let alone Wu Xin.
How could he defend against the Chen father and son who weren’t even in the Qi Refinement Realm?
When Chen Weimo took out the Imprint Talisman and saw the familiar monk inside, Wu Xin was momentarily speechless.
The face of the Pharmacist Bodhisattva turned ugly.
Wu Xin was indeed his monk official, not particularly favored, but also quite powerful in Pharmacist City.
Now that this has happened...
Sure enough, below the high platform, the discussions among the mortals gradually grew louder.
The presiding Great Leiyin Temple disciple spoke, "Wu Xin, do you admit it?"
"I do not admit!" Wu Xin stubbornly said, "Who knows who this is, pretending to be my disciple?"
Chen Weimo opened his mouth, wanting to refute, yet not knowing how, his face looking somewhat dejected.
But the presiding Great Leiyin Temple disciple remained calm, only asking significantly:
"You truly do not admit?"
Wu Xin, feeling fearless, answered with full confidence, "I do not admit!"
The Great Leiyin Temple disciple smiled faintly, seemingly not surprised.
They actually did not expect Chen Weimo to produce evidence.
Originally, judging cultivators is not so simple—they truly have the ability to commit perfect crimes.
Without a Soul Search, it’s difficult to obtain concrete evidence, while a Soul Search stirs criticism.
But the Great Leiyin Temple was already prepared, this disciple took out a talisman paper, pointed to the sky, saying:
"Disciple respectfully requests the Supervision Institute’s Three Lives Stone!"
The sky turned chaotic, a phantom of the Three Lives Stone appeared before everyone.
This Supreme Treasure resembled a small mountain, with one side smooth like a mirror, able to discern the good and evil of all beings.
"Wu Xin, stand before the Three Lives Stone. If you are truly innocent, this treasure will naturally clear your name!"
Wu Xin’s face was pale, unwilling to move, ignoring it completely.
Several Great Leiyin Temple disciples, unable to tolerate him, grabbed and threw him before the Three Lives Stone.
The image on the stone mirror began to change rapidly.
Wu Xin’s childhood experiences, how he joined Leiyin Temple, how he cultivated, all his life unfolded clearly on the Three Lives Stone.
Finally, it came to his collusion with the Chen father and son.
How he instructed disciples to communicate, how he accepted benefits, how he covered up the truth, was now fully exposed before everyone.
What was even more surprising was that Wu Xin was not only cooperating with the Chen Family, he was colluding with many forces inside and outside Pharmacist City.
The purpose was beyond even Cheng Yun’s expectations—
He was cultivating using the Dual Cultivation Method.
Just as the Daoists have their dual cultivation methods, the Buddhists also have their own, though it hasn’t gained much traction, it’s always been a minor path.
However, Wu Xin was quite a talent. He keenly perceived that dual cultivation paired with Paradise Fragrance was a perfect combination.
He required various forces to offer women, and it truly wasn’t because of lust.
Simply put, if Wu Xin’s luck were slightly better, he might have pioneered a path of Joyful Zen, updating the strategy based on Paradise Fragrance.
He was quite ambitious, unwilling to let fellow disciples know, thus collaborated with secular forces while hiding in the shadows.
But the women who engaged in dual cultivation with him had quite a tragic fate.
The Immortal Sect’s normal dual cultivation methods, such as those used by Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang, though they involve absorbing essence, they still follow the principle of supplementing what is lacking by releasing what is abundant, it is a connecting method of dual cultivation.
But Wu Xin clearly lacked this sacrificial spirit to replenish mana for those mortals.
Therefore, he used those sinister dual cultivation methods.
The conditions of those women, naturally, were imaginable.
Someone in the audience suddenly shouted:
"My daughter! That’s my daughter!"
"Third Sister! I thought my third sister ran away!"
The Three Lives Stone exposed all of Wu Xin’s evil deeds, more directly than the previous testimonies.
Especially those women, after being imprisoned, first panicked, after endless torment fell into despair, and finally lost their senses.
Most of these people, before they died, were skin and bones like skeletons, hardly human.
Most of these people were relatives of mortals in the city. Although they had long known the situation was dire, there was still a thread of hope in the hearts of these relatives.
Seeing their daughters and sisters transformed into such appearances now, how could they hold back anymore.
"Kill him!"
A man shouted.
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
For several eons, in the West Continent, no one dared shout for a disciple of Leiyin Temple to be killed.
But today, a mortal shouted it out.
In that moment, even the person who shouted was frightened. The man shrank his neck, nervously looking around.
Suddenly, another person shouted: "Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
One voice, two voices, followed by thousands upon thousands, the angry shouts surged like a cascading flood toward Wu Xin.
At this moment, they forgot Leiyin Temple’s might, forgot their former fear of Leiyin Temple, forgot that a single finger from Wu Xin could render them dead.
And finally dared to shout for Leiyin Temple to be killed.
Wu Xin’s arrogance completely vanished from his face, he turned to see the mortals surrounding him with angry eyes, his face turned ashen, unable to speak a single word, even more cowardly than the Chen father and son before.
Pharmacist Bodhisattva watched the crowd, silently for a long time, finally spoke: "Is this your purpose?"
"What purpose?"
"To destroy the foundation of my Leiyin Temple."
Cheng Yun laughed, without refuting.
"Do you think you’ve won?" Pharmacist Bodhisattva suddenly chuckled, "Today they dare to kill a disciple of my Leiyin Temple, tomorrow they’ll dare to kill you."
Cheng Yun looked slightly puzzled: "Why not."
Pharmacist Bodhisattva was immediately dumbfounded.
"If they truly believe we should be killed, regardless of whether they’re right or wrong, at least there’s something we didn’t do well." Cheng Yun said.
This argument was very familiar, and Pharmacist Bodhisattva couldn’t help but recall what he had seen and heard before in the elementary school, finally realizing.
This public trial assembly was inherently part of the three great principles, only differing in form.
"Bodhisattva." Cheng Yun suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
"It is the sentient beings who transformed the Buddha."
"..."
Pharmacist Bodhisattva froze, Cheng Yun’s words came clearly amidst the shouts of kill: "You became a Bodhisattva not because of the Liuli Buddha, but because these mortals believe in you, that’s why you’re a Bodhisattva."
"As for this Paradise Fragrance disaster, is it only this Chen father and son who should be responsible? Only Wu Xin?"
"Did you hear their anger and resentment?"
