Chapter 129: Chapter 124 Young Hero, Please Withdraw Your Divine Skills! (Please Subscribe!)_2

These people and those who went to Broken River Mouth before should belong to the same power, some have a "grape" mark on their necks.

Duan Yun inquired and found out that they were people from the Bodhi Charity Hall.

The Hall Master of Bodhi Charity Hall, Rou Puti, was previously a monk in Yunshan Temple, with the Dharma name "Wuchen."

"Wuchen" had grown up familiar with Buddhist scriptures, believing that the masters and brothers in the temple were all Bodhisattvas, compassionate and ready to relieve suffering.

But later, as he grew older, he gradually discovered something terrifying.

That is, the entire Yunshan Temple, full of professed lofty ideals, was actually only interested in worldly fame and profit, ostensibly benevolent and kind, but internally full of ugliness.

Until one day, Wuchen accidentally entered a secret chamber beneath the Buddhist hall, heard the sounds of men and women panting from within, saw piles of white bones beneath, and was immensely terrified.

His fear was not just from the decadent misdeeds of his masters and brothers, but also from the fear that everything he firmly believed in had completely dissipated, like a dream.

The Buddhist hall was no longer a Buddhist hall, but had turned into a purgatory; the masters and brothers were no longer Bodhisattvas, but evil spirits!

He believed that this was not what Buddha was like, and monks who worship Buddha should not be like this!

It is said that one night, "Wuchen" dreamt of immortals and Buddhas passing on dharma, and afterwards, he opened his eyes.

Wielding an Anan Blade, he began to slash; he slaughtered everyone in Yunshan Temple, and it is said that the statues in the Buddhist hall were soaked with blood, a deep red, like tears of blood.

After that, Wuchen disappeared.

When he reappeared in the Martial World, he had become "Rou Puti."

He claimed that his flesh could detoxify all poisons and regenerate flesh from bones; as long as one was not utterly wicked, he was willing to cut his flesh to save them.

This method could be said to imitate "Buddha cutting flesh to feed the eagle." Initially, no one believed him, thinking he was insane.

A person who had slaughtered his entire sect, if not mad, what was he?

Then one day, the Ruan Family brothers were poisoned with corpse poison beyond cure, sought Rou Puti, and after eating his flesh, not only was the corpse poison completely cured, but their martial abilities also improved.

Naturally, the Ruan Family brothers then became his disciples.

Later on, as Rou Puti saved more and more people by cutting his flesh, he founded the Bodhi Charity Hall and established his own lineage. People in the Charity Hall claimed themselves as "Heroic Spirits," dedicated to doing righteous deeds their whole life.

Throughout the years, the acts of kindness from the Bodhi Charity Hall never ceased, and those inside were not the kind who were outwardly humane and inwardly filthy.

Occasionally, few people of evil thoughts emerged, and all met untimely deaths.

The rules of Bodhi Charity Hall were extremely strict; although Rou Puti saved people by cutting his flesh, there was no mercy under the Anan Blade.

Thus, in the hearts of the common people, the reputation of Bodhi Charity Hall was much better than that of the court or any benevolent gentry.

During this flood, Duan Yun also witnessed with his own eyes how they strenuously saved people.

Therefore, Duan Yun, Young Hero Duan, silently made a decision.

...

Inside the government office of Qingbai City, the major noble families and sects from around Yu State gathered.

The purpose was naturally to prepare for the disaster relief effort.

The responsible person was Wu Shan from the Bodhi Charity Hall, also known as the one who transformed into a "Dragon in the water" to save people recently.

Though he joined the Charity Hall not long ago, relatively young, with average cultivation, he held a high position in the hall because he was the last disciple taken in by Rou Puti.

Asking the masters to provide silver for disaster relief, a task more strenuous than rewarding, the government office was unwilling to get heavily involved, knowing that with Bodhi Charity Hall around, it was hard for them to even take a slice of the disaster relief funds, so they only provided a venue, and took on the role of spectators.

Bodhi Charity Hall had quite a good reputation among the lower classes, and Rou Puti’s status in the Martial World was also not low, yet these noble families and sect masters were tough opponents.

Rou Puti’s Anan Blade could drag a person into hell, yet ever since wiping out Yunshan Temple, Rou Puti had been dedicating himself to good deeds and had never used it on outsiders, lacking enough deterrence.

Inside the hall, Wu Shan pleaded earnestly, "Elderly and seniors, you have also seen the situation across the seven cities and twenty-six towns of Yu State. If we do not provide disaster relief, more people will die."

Master Huang of the reputable and influential Huang Family nodded and said, "Indeed, my Huang Family’s businesses across the seven cities and twenty-six towns have also suffered greatly; these are hard times."

As soon as this statement was made, the others chimed in.

"My Yunshan Palace’s tea business is completely gone; the Palace Master has been extremely worried lately, he hasn’t been eating well, and he even has no time to deal with his young master’s marriage matters."

...

Seeing this, Wu Shan couldn’t help but shake his head.

Thousands of people died here in a moment, and if not handled promptly, more fatalities from epidemics could carry away even more, but what these masters and Palace Masters were worried about was what, some young master’s marriage matters, whether or not they could drink bird’s nest.

Now that the court was weak, compared to them, it was indeed poorer and more pathetic.

Perhaps if it were not for the sake of their master’s Anan Blade, these major figures who had extorted who knows how much from the people would not have come.

At this moment, Master Huang spoke up, "Hero Wu, we too are concerned about the people, but disaster relief isn’t something just a few families can accomplish, we need to call upon the people together."

"Let’s follow the old rule; my Huang Family will lead with three thousand taels of silver, and after gathering enough funds for disaster relief, only need to return two thousand five hundred taels, the remaining five hundred taels will indeed be donated!"

Master Huang declared generously.

"Yunshan Palace will also give three thousand taels, but regarding only returning two thousand five hundred, I will still have to ask the Palace Master."

"I too!"

Hearing this, Wu Shan felt so exasperated he wanted to laugh.

"All respected seniors, many people are dead, and even later, those who would do business for you, even those who would serve you, will decrease, right?"

"Yes, that’s why we need the people together, to generously share wealth and overcome difficulties together."

"With so many disaster-stricken people this time, how many of them could really afford to donate?" Wu Shan said frustratedly.
