"In the previous two lives, you betrayed me and did evil things to me. This life can also be considered as my coming here to collect debts. That's why you had such a reaction when you saw me. Zhao Ping, are you going to owe me again for a carp?"
"I do not care how it was in the previous two lives. In this moment, I only care about this life. I love you. However, if this love is built on the basis of harm, then I will give up."
He left. His back was so dashing.
Every time he saw a fairy, he couldn't think of the days when he would grumble.
For him, Gollum came and went quickly. It was true that he didn't have much left in his life, but he did have a lot of things to take with him. After all, she took away his first kiss.
A few kisses meant nothing, because he could think things through, but now that Gollum's life and death were in doubt, he could only pray to heaven that she was all right.
Of course, with the protection of the monks, his days went well.
The monk's name was Yi Chen. In order to express his reverence for his savior, oh no, intimacy, he called him Chenchen in his heart.
The day had finally come, and his spiritual energy had recovered as he took on a human form.
"Demon?"
Perhaps it was because they had been together for a few days and he had personally witnessed the transformation from a fish into a human. Although he was shocked, his fear was not great.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp!"
Unable to speak, she could only express her gratitude to him in the language of the fish tribe, even though she couldn't see his face.
However, Chenchen was definitely a good-looking monk, she thought. After all, when one was ignorant, one would always have a trace of fantasies about things.
Yi Chen looked at her carefully. He was a cute girl, but why did she lose his eyes? A small fish essence, must have encountered some accident.
"This is good as well. It is indeed a little strange that I speak to fish everyday. It is more convenient for you to become a human, but, in the end, you are still a girl. It would be better if you were a man."
A monk was following beside a beautiful lady. If others saw this, they would definitely think that he was a lecherous monk.
Gulp thought, this is easy to deal with. With a shake of his body, he transformed into a beautiful young monk standing in front of Yichen.
"Truly marvelous!" From today onwards, you are this humble monk's junior brother, so I must give you a name. This poor monk's name is Yichen.
Hugh, stop in the past. May she forget all the pain and helplessness of the past.
Gollum was glad to hear this. Finally, she could start a new life. It was a pity that she couldn't talk to him.
Actually, this matter was quite simple. She only needed to find a new master.
And the most important step was a kiss.
However, the problem now was that the other party was a monk. If she were to kiss him, wouldn't she be forcing him to break the ring? No.
It was better to wait and see if he could meet the right person in the future.
Just like this, Gollum gained a new identity, the junior brother of the ascetic monk Yichen.
"Come, let's take a break. Let's continue on our way." Yichen's ability to accept things could be considered pretty good. He did not feel anything out of place when interacting with the goblins.
There was a tree branch between them.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp …"
He couldn't understand what she was saying, so he was determined to learn the language of the fish.
The people of Lu Town were simple and honest. The people here were good at reading. Their status was not determined by their family's wealth, but rather by how many books they had read.
In other places, the two might meet in the street and ask if they had eaten.
But Lu Town was different.
"Brother Li, what a coincidence." He cupped his hands in a proper salute, a smile on his face. The people here were all very kind.
He didn't dare to say elsewhere, but this matter of staying up late could happen in the town of Lu, because most of the people lived in books. Everyone treated books as sacred objects, and there was no talk of theft.
"That's right, Brother Zhang. How many books did you read yesterday?" Look, straight to the point.
"Not much, just three books at most." This is a humble statement.
Hearing this, the other party could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Brother Zhang is really hardworking."
"Brother Li is too kind. When it comes to hardworking, I still want to learn from you. Who doesn't know that you have read so many books and forgot to eat? You must have spent your night in the study." Such a bold guess wasn't without reason.
The other party laughed, "Brother Zhang, how do you know?"
"Brother Li's panda eyes are quite eye-catching."
So don't be surprised to see such a conversation on the street.
Seeing two monks, the pair went up to welcome them.
"Amitabha." In the early morning, he performed Buddhist ceremonies with a kind face. One could tell with a glance that he was a good monk.
Although Gurgle could not be seen, his hearing was very sharp. It was the sound of two people's footsteps.
"Amitabha." She bowed, hinting to herself that she would be a monk from now on. Remember, a monk.
Hehe, a demoness becoming a monk, this is truly a miracle. If the Buddha knew about this, would he have been angered to death?
The man surnamed Zhang spoke first, "You two masters came to Lu Town to ask for books, right?"
"Exactly." Yi Chen nodded. "Benefactor, please tell me where there are books on recording fish."
"Fish?" The man surnamed Li frowned, "This kind of book is not common, may I ask what Master is going to do with it?"
"Amitabha." Yi Chen felt a sense of loss. If he could not even find the famous "Book Town", he did not know where else he could find it.
Could it be that he wouldn't understand what his junior brother was saying for the rest of his life? But how he wanted to know what she was talking about.
"Please forgive me, Sir, but I cannot say." As a monk, he could not lie, so he could only tactfully refuse.
How could her junior's true identity be exposed? She could only continue to hide it for her.
The man named Zhang seemed to have thought of something, "There's a family named Du at the end of the street. Their family's old man likes to fish. Maybe there, his master can get what he wants."
"Thank you, Almsgiver for your information."
It was as though Yi Chen saw hope.
Indeed, this Master Du really did like fish, and coincidentally, he liked carp the most.
Knowing the purpose of their visit, Old Man Du treated them extremely courteously, and took the initiative to lead them into the study.
"Master Yichen, please take a look. This is all the books I have collected on fish, and the characteristics of each type of fish are recorded in detail in them."
The study room was indeed huge. There were countless books inside.
This was the extent to which the people of Lu Town loved books.
"Thank you, Almsgiver Du. But I would like to ask, did you record the language of the fish?"
Old Man Du was stunned, "Master wants to understand Fishy's speech?"
"Exactly." Yi Chen placed his right hand on his chest and nodded.
"To be honest, I don't have this kind of book in my house. However, I have done a lot of research on fish and know a bit about them. If Master doesn't mind, I can teach it to you."
