"On Taizhou Mountain, the Dakong Temple monk known as 'Kong Hen' slew two of the Demon Court's pillar stones, only to be besieged and killed by the four great pillar stones of the Demon Court."
"I also heard that he once ventured alone to the 'Netherworld' and reportedly went even deeper to find the legendary 'far shore'."
The Great Master nodded slightly, sighed, and added:
"Master Kong Hen was also the senior brother of the current Dakong Temple abbot, Master Kongjing. The two shared many years of meals and sleep within the temple."
"With two successive monks expanding the influence of the Buddhist sect within the Wei Dynasty, it's hard not to be suspicious."
"Now that the third 'Dakong Monk' has emerged, I believe he too must have some purpose."
Li Qingzhou did not respond. His eyes, gazing at Dakong Temple, were golden, as if trying to penetrate several Buddhist halls to see inside.
