Chapter 162 - One Box of Gold Bars, Heavy Powder in the Sky

Chapter 162 One Box of Gold Bars, Heavy Powder in the SkyThe old monk and the silver head weirdos did not know there was a Virtualised reality in the hall. Naturally, they did not hear what Hao Ning and others said. Hearing that the silver man did not have enough incense for further searching, he guessed that they were coming for grabbing the donation. The old monk put his hands together and smiled bitterly, “You donors, if you want money, there are a few in the merit box in the hall. You can take it. But my temple is too humble to collect much money. I, occasionally, copy some Buddhist scriptures. Although I inject my sincerity into this, I think you will dislike them.”

“You misunderstood us,” the man with four scars said politely, interrupting the old monk as the monk spoke endlessly. “We don’t want money. Instead, we will donate a big sum of money to your temple. Sixth…”

“Yes, my fourth brother!” The sixth brother spoke simply. He took off his hat. He was a silver-headed man, too. Six knife scars were on his head. Hao Ning was surprised when he saw them from afar. The fourth brother had four scars on his head. and the sixth brother had six scars on his head. Were these persons ranked according to the knife scars on their heads? How miserable it would be for the seventh brother!

As Hao Ning was thinking about it wildly, the man took out a box from his robe. He opened it and showed to the old monk. Hao Ning also could see what inside due to his standing position. Those were golden shining things. It was too shiny to look at it directly. Those were gold bars, filled the box!

“What? Who are they? Am I in my illusion?” Hao Ning bit his finger and held Zhou Yuan’s hand, shaking hardly. “Are those gold bars? Who will use those bars in today’s world? My god, it is impossible to earn it in my whole life…”

“Be cool,” Liu Shuai reminded Hao Ning in a low voice. “Be cool, man!”

“Well…” Hao Ning turned back, looking at Nezha and Xiao Hong. They behaved so calmly. At this moment, he thought that he, the fake Master Hongjun, seemed like a countryman. He felt ashamed of himself. He saw Liu Shuai’s legs were trembling when he turned back. The trembling legs showed that he was in an extremely excited mood. But his face seemed to be so calm. So, Hao Ning said to Liu Shuai, whispering, “There is a saying, ‘speak and act in one way but aim at quite differently.’ But look at you. Your mind cannot control your lower body!”

“This is a box of gold. It is about several kilograms. It is worth more than 10 million Yuan according to the market price.” The Fourth brother talked to the old monk lightly and said, “Those are our donation. It is our advanced payment. We did not take much this time. We have 30 times more than this for you for one thing. Ok?”

“10 million yuan?” Hao Ning could not believe it after hearing it. “30 times more for one thing? That is…” It was too much for his math. He took out his phone.

“More than 400 million. Don’t be over-excited. It is not US dollars,” Xiao Hong said in a low voice. He frowned and said, “This number is a big one for this small temple. But, what did they want on earth?”

“Well, well, well…” The old monk looked at the gold straightly. Most of the persons, including Hao Ning, could not reject the temptation of money. The old monk also could not resist it. The old monk closed his eyes and said, “Amitabha, Amitabha. It is too much for my humble temple. What do you want?”

“The statue of the Dragon God,” the man with one scar said. “We want to buy the statue, and we will pay you 30 times of this box of gold.”

“Something must be wrong!” Xiao Hong frowned and said in a low voice. “They want to eliminate Long Fei’s essence!”

“What did you mean?” Hao Ning was still thinking about the money. He did not understand what they want at that time. He asked Xiao Hong, “How will they eliminate Long Fei’s essence?”

“They are so bad!” Liu Shuai already understood the whole thing. He rubbed his hands nervously, saying, “After getting the statue, they will destroy it. Long Fei will not have the statue for his donation. That means Long Fei will lose his essence! Have they already known that Long Fei was the Immortal in this temple? But according to what they just said, they did not know the truth!”

“They should not know it,” Nezha looked at them, shook his head and squinted. “What they want is that there is no donation collected in this region. If so, whether Long Fei is the Dragon God or not, he can’t heal his wounds by donation. It is not necessary to satisfy oneself by harming others. When cutting the grass, it is necessary to dig out their roots. If one does not know it is a fortune or a misfortune, it is necessary to adopt full measures to tackle it. They act like Mr. Fei’s men.”

“But they pay too much!” Hao Ning looked at the gold. “So much gold for just one statue?”

“Hey, don’t forget who Mr. Fei is,” Xiao Hong looked at Hao Ning, shaking his head. “He has all the global minefields. Do you think that gold is too much now?”

After hearing what the person said, the old monk opened his eyes and said, “No, no. About the statue of the Dragon God, it is not worth too much. But it has a long history. We should not sell it to outsiders, not to outsiders.”

“If so, we will do something to you,” the person did not say yes or no. Then he turned to the Fourth and said, “Move fast and quietly. Lest you be found out.”

“Ok,” the Fourth drew a very thin soft sword from his waist and drew it across the old monk’s neck, “Third brother, move fast.”

“Come!” The Third brother stretched out his hands. His wore a pair of white gloves. Seeing the Fourth had used his sword, he stretched out his hands and grasped something. Hao Ning saw it clearly that the man grasped the soul of the old monk. At this moment, the soul and the body were separated. Hao Ning and others saw that the soul of the old monk was grasped by the man with head in his left hand and body in his right hand. As for the body of the old monk, it seemed like nothing happened to him. No scar or blood. He stood there still.

“His Kung Fu, I knew it.” Liu Shuai exclaimed after seeing it. He turned back to look at Nezha and Zhou Yuan and said, “Did you find out?”

“No,” both of them answered very simply, which made Liu Shuai doubt what he heard.

“Forget it,” Liu Shuai had to murmur to Hao Ning. Nobody knew what he said.

After hearing what he said, Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai in surprise, “Is it real?”

At this moment, the Sixth took out something. It became a book in the air and cast a beam on the old monk. The old monk looked at the Sixth immediately and said, “My Lord.”

“Go!” the Sixth brother nodded.

The old monk said nothing and rushed to a big pillar. “Bang”. Blood came out of his head. The old monk lied on the ground.

The Seventh walked to him and touched his neck, saying, “Died.”

“Fifth,” The First brother said. “What about the time?”

The Fifth said nothing. He pinched his fingers and thought. Then he said, “The time is right. The nether world will think he killed himself. And there is no animal soul inside his body. So, the nether world will not pay attention to this case.”

“Ok, let’s begin!” The head man said. “Second brother and Third brother, array!”

Hao Ning and others looked at their actions and said nothing. Xiao Hong and Nezha had undergone many things. They were also stunned and did not understand what they were doing. “What are they doing? Why is it so troublesome to kill someone?”

“They are so mighty!” Hao Ning couldn’t help sighing. The immortals were truly different from ordinary persons. Their thoughts were so different from ordinary persons. Seeing somebody was killed, Hao Ning was so scared to say something while Xiao Hong and Nezha only cared about why they did it. Hao Ning was sure what they did after seeing their complicated steps. So, he pointed to those and said, “Their aim is: they don’t want to be traced by the nether world. They separated the soul of the old monk from his body so fast and sucked the soul by the gloves. Then they used the Book Elf to force the old monk to kill himself. By doing so, the nether world just knew that somebody suicided and the soul from a suicided man will not be the business of the nether world. For some reasons, the nether world may pay close attention whether there were animals’ souls inside the body of the suicided man. But there was no animal’s soul inside the body of the old monk. So, they killed the old monk in that way to practice deception.”

“Brother Hao Ning, you know so much!” Xiao Hong thumbed up. “This is a really good way to do it!”

“But it is a little brutal,” Nezha, unlike Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan who dared not to look at the old monk, looked at the old monk, frowning. Nezha said in a cold voice, “It is a shame to kill a civilian. They should fight my Zhou forces if they are really powerful.”

“Anyway, what do they want?” Hao Ning said a little bravely. “They silenced the old monk just because he didn’t want to sell the statue? Did they want to destroy the statue? Zhou Yuan, did you put the statue in the Virtualised reality?”

“Are you scared to be silly?” Zhou Yuan still dared not to look at the old monk. He murmured, “I had already put the statue in the Virtualised reality when you played the god inducer.”

“But I saw you just removed part of the Virtualised reality.” He knew that Zhou Yuan did not have enough power to support the whole Virtualised reality of the sea in Heaven. So, he just removed part of it. That was the reason he reminded Zhou Yuan of the statue. “You didn’t remove the part where the statue is placed, right?”

“No,” Zhou Yuan nodded. “The statue is Long Fei’s essence. I won’t remove that part. But, to be honest, the walls of this temple are so big. So, I have to let them return to the real world. — I truly spent much of my power— but I still have the power to keep the statue in the Virtualised reality.”

“Ok. As long as the statue is kept in there, everything else is not important.” Xiao Hong nodded. “Let’s see what they will do and then decide what we should do.”

As they were talking, the Fourth who cut the old monk’s soul threw the sword in his hand toward the temple hall. The sword looked very sharp, deepening into the gate of the hall.

“This person’s Kung Fu is just so-so. But his sword is very sharp,” Hao Ning said with a smile as he watched the man throw his sword in a very casual way and did not get his target. “He failed to aim at his target. It’s…”

As he was talking, Hao Ning and others heard a sound. The sword seemed to have disappeared. Only a belt buckle and a handle left on the ground.

There was a hole left on the door. The surrounding area of the hole seemed to be turned into white powder, and the white powder seemed to have life. It gradually turned the wood around the hole into the white powder, which seemed to be very loose. After becoming the white powder, it fell directly to the ground. In a very short time, there was more and more white powder and the wood became less and less with the hole bigger and bigger. After two breaths, the whole door became the white powder. It seemed that it was not the end of the story. The white powder expanded to the walls, too. Strangely, the walls did not become white powder. They disappeared! Only a hissing sound could be heard as the white powder passed the walls. The windows and others made of wood became white powder.
