"Eh? Didn't you already enter a meditative state? How do you know we're here? "
The old monk opened his eyes and smiled at us. "Benefactor, we meet again?"
That's right, we meet again. The last time we met, it was really a false alarm. It turns out that this esteemed monk had already intended to lend us the items for a long time.
"Master monk, we came this time to return the goods, the last time we borrowed the illuminating lamp from your temple, we have already used them all, we should return them to you."
I took the light out of my backpack and set it on the side table.
"Hold on!" The old monk shouted loudly, which frightened me quite a bit. I don't know why, but I keep having the feeling that this old monk isn't an ordinary person. He must have a very high cultivation level. He really never shows himself in front of others.
"Why don't you tell me first, how was the result of this trip to Fengdu?"
I silently cursed in my heart, I must have definitely won the match, otherwise, we wouldn't have the life to return the light, thinking that I wouldn't even be able to see the sun on the 16th of July, and thinking about how Liang Tianxiao tried to break the light, I felt depressed.
Although you have experienced a lot of twists and turns, the illuminating lamp has still brought you back in full shadow without the slightest bit of damage.
The old monk laughed again, and stood up from the bed: "You think that I am talking about illuminating lamp? "You guys are underestimating me too much. If I was really afraid of some mishap happening to the lanterns, I wouldn't have lent it to you guys back then."
Ah? What do you mean?
Just then, a report came in from outside: "Master Chair, Yuan Tong requests to see you."
The moment I heard "Yuan Tong", my entire body went into a bad state. I remembered that Yuan Tong was that Monk of the Monastery. Back then, he was making things difficult for us, especially so that we wouldn't have to go head to head against this monk.
"Ah, that, we've already returned the things, otherwise we would have to take our leave first?"
"Calm down. Since you guys are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" I still have some things to say, so wait a moment. Yuan Tong, you can come in. "
The monk with round hands walked in: "Oh? It turned out that the host was in the middle of a meeting with a guest. I apologize for my rudeness. However, these few people seem very familiar? "
Of course it looked familiar! You were the one who asked for the lantern, but you ridiculed and drove us out.
"Yeah, they once lent me a illuminating lamp." The old monk smiled and nodded.
"Master Chair! There was something wrong with their brains! Please do not believe them, what do you mean by Fengdu's ghost door is about to get into big trouble, I think that they are just coveting our temple's illuminating lamp, speaking nonsense, if they lent out the thing, they will not return! I chased you out last time, what are you doing here now, hurry up and leave! "
As he spoke, Monk Yuan Tong wanted to chase us away.
"Yuan Tong!" Do not be rude, the two of them, I am an esteemed guest! "
The old monk looked old, but he was full of energy, and every time he shouted I could feel the room buzzing.
"Master Chair, they really are …"
"Alright, stop talking. Step aside!"
Seeing that the host seemed to be angry, Monk Yuan Tong did not dare to say anything else and retreated to the side.
I know what you have done in the Fengdu. I am also glad that I did not trust the wrong person back then. You all have really taken the matters of the common people as your own hard work.
So it turned out that the old monk already knew, even though the old monk was meditating at home, he was well-informed, perhaps it was Gang Zi's credit again.
"Master Chair is so serious, it's something we should do. Although we had comrades who died, but the result is still good, but the most important thing is that Master, your illuminating lamp s are too easy to use. Facing so many ghost monsters that came out of the ghost door, not a single one of them came out!"
found it funny when he saw me. I have never been so tactful before, and this time, I even seemed to be unfamiliar with it.
At this time, Monk Yuan Tong seemed to finally see the illuminating lamp on the table: "Ah? So, the thing has already been borrowed, and it's back? "
Yuan Tong opened his eyes wide and looked at the light carefully, as if he was trying to determine if it was real or not, probably because he was afraid that we would be swapped out.
This time, Zhang Ziyuan was truly angered: "Master, if we really had the intention to take this illuminating lamp back, why would we need to travel all the way here to return it? It would also be more convenient for us to just take the things and leave, so we don't believe that you monks can find us."
Seeing that Zhang Ziyuan was truly angry, Master Chair also immediately stopped Monk Yuan Tong: "Yuan Tong! Don't be rude! This is how you treat a lord's belly with the heart of a commoner! "
Yes, these words have reached deep into our hearts. The old monk has a culture, and he was able to summarize everything with such a cultured sentence.
"But Master Chair, this illuminating lamp is from our Great Xiang Nation Temple …"
Yuan Tong seemed to be wronged by the scolding, and immediately explained with a sullen face, but was interrupted by the Master Chair: "You have been taught buddhist magic for such a long time, where have you learned it! Do you know that these several benefactors, for the sake of the righteousness of the world, have taken the initiative to ask me for the light, in order to hang him on the gates of the dead, in order to prevent the powerful ghost power of the myriad demons from being used by others? Yet you are actively scheming over such a treasure, I have truly misjudged you! "
After hearing Master Chair's words, his round face looked as if he had been beaten up, and his entire face was the color of a pig's liver.
"Master, I really do not know, because there are many petty people that covet our treasure, so it's really hard for me to tell them apart!"
"Hmph, hurry up and leave!" My Great Xiang Nation truly has no one to follow up with! "
He probably didn't know what he had done wrong. The high monk who had cultivated for so many years was now as confused as a mortal. Hearing Master Chair's order for him to leave, he left in a state of stupefaction.
"Sigh, I've let you guys down."
"No, it's fine, Master Chair, actually you don't have to be like that, we didn't mind at all, we have let down Zhang Ziyuan!"
I nudged Zhang Ziyuan with my elbow. His words just now were indeed a bit radical, after all this was his territory.
"Mn, it's also because of my words just now. Master Chair, please forgive me."
Just now, Master Chair was so moved that he was about to cry. "Sigh, these two youngsters really can't compare. Why can't my disciple be as modest and respectful as you two?"
I was shocked and thought that the master wanted to take us in as his disciples and wouldn't let us leave, "Master Chair! As for us, we still don't have the will to leave home. We'll come look for you when we've broken through to the mortal realm. "
It seems that the Great Western Temple really isn't a place to stay for long. If this old monk were to be happy and let us stay and shave ourselves, we wouldn't be able to eat meat anymore. Wouldn't that mean we'd be crying?
The old monk laughed. "Hahahaha, looks like you know that the old monk loves the materials, but the matter of you, Hong Chen, is not over yet, I will definitely not force you to stay, but being a home disciple of the Great Xiang Nation is still fine, alright? You just have to acknowledge me as your master, your seniority is already very high, it's not that you are wronged. As a gift to pay my respects, I will give you all this illuminating lamp.
Zhang Ziyuan and I were stunned by this situation. What kind of situation was this, a mortal disciple? Acknowledged a master?
Wasn't it supposed to be a gift from a disciple to a master? Why is it so different when we arrive at the Great Xiang Nation Temple, moreover it's such a precious treasure like the illuminating lamp, I feel like lending it to us for a use already is a lot of face, can they really give it to us?
No no, that's not the point, the point is that I don't believe in buddhas, Zhang Ziyuan is a ghost cultivator, wouldn't the Da Xi Empire send out vulgar disciples like us to discredit their sect?
"Alright, since you all have acknowledged me as your teacher, I can take the items away from you. Remember, if you are in any difficult situations, look for me. I will definitely help you all."
Just as I wanted to reject him, I obediently acknowledged him as my teacher. I felt that I had no principles at all.
However, Zhang Ziyuan seemed to be looking for someone to rely on, and he did not refuse, as the two of them came out after bowing to each other with illuminating lamp in their hands.
It felt like a truly wonderful day. How did he get it back when he didn't even get it back?
Yue Feng was stupefied: "I say you guys are really mysterious. After going in for so long, you actually still haven't gotten anything, they are crazy, do you not want it?"
I felt as though I had gone mad, but I couldn't say it like that, "Yeah, the old host said that this thing would be more useful to us. It would be a waste if we just let it go to them, so he gave it to us."
"Oh my god, it's really rare to see such a wise old monk. This illuminating lamp can be considered a treasure. In the future, if we light it up, none of us will be afraid!"
, who was at the side, was still trembling. He immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing, "Cough, cough, I'm not talking about you anymore. I'm sure we won't order when you're here, okay?"
Now that sshe thought about it, Xiao Cui was also a ghost, he was afraid of all kinds of magic tools.
"Zhang Ziyuan, do you think Xiao Cui can cultivate the ghost cultivator that you spoke of last time?"
"Since she chose to stay by Yue Feng's side, even if not, I have to learn a few life-saving methods. In the beginning, I didn't know the importance of cultivating, and it was also because I almost met with an unreasonable Spirit Master who was almost annihilated."
"Then, Big Brother Zhang, what should I do now?"
Looking at Xiao Cui's pure and innocent eyes, it seemed like she really was determined to start cultivating. I didn't really understand it when cultivating with ghosts, and looked straight at Zhang Ziyuan.
"You don't have a cultivation right now, so you need to use another ghost's endosperm to raise your cultivation. Only then can you proceed to the next step of cultivation. We can find some places with higher levels of ghosts and spirits and would like to collect endosperm s for you to use … "
We had just come out of the temple and were strolling outside when we saw a monk hurrying over before we had finished discussing the matter.
"Benefactor, please wait!" The monk was out of breath, as if he was afraid we would leave, and ran to catch his breath.
"Master, don't be in such a hurry to speak. What's wrong? Could it be that your host is regretting and wants to take the illuminating lamp back? "
