บท 299: Chapter 264: Catastrophe Descends

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Once claimed to house over ten thousand Buddhist practitioners, now only ruined walls and broken beams remain, following the slaughter of Buddha's Disciples and Buddha's Grand-disciples by beasts.

The hundred-foot Buddha statue on the Lotus Platform at Bodhi Peak, despite a thousand years, still sits in meditation with a compassionate expression.

The plaque at the temple's entrance is rust-streaked with only the character "ten thousand" discernible.

The trees within the temple grounds are overgrown, with vines entwining and pavilions and towers collapsed into ruin. The worshipped Buddha statues inside the temple stand exposed to the elements, either severed at the waist or crumbled into stones, with very few remaining intact.

Underneath the statues, there are numerous white bones, so long dead that they have become dry and rough.
