Wait a minute, something's not right. Who still uses cash these days? Most people use mobile phones or QR codes to pay.

Something's off about these two.

Xiao Xi carefully observed the figures of the old man and the child.

The young novice monk, despite his young age, was already hunched over, lying on the prayer mat counting money.

The old, fat monk, with his belly protruding, lay sprawled out.

Xiao Xi and Bei Chen exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, leaped into the meditation room.

"What kind of monster are you? Show yourself at once!" Xiaoxi roared.

Her crescent blade was faster than her voice, already striking the old monk's stomach.

Bei Chen's vajra was already pressed against the little novice's back.

The old monk and the young novice were so frightened that they revealed their true forms.

Wow, so the old monk was a giant sea turtle and the young novice was just a shrimp.

The giant sea turtle even tried to use his clumsy hand to pull the bell rope that had fallen from the roof beam, clearly wanting to call someone over.

Xiaoxi used the back of her crescent blade to slap the sea turtle's hand until it swelled up.

"Behave yourself, or I'll chop you up!"

The sea turtle immediately begged for mercy.

"My lords, please spare me. You can have all this money."

As is customary, the sea turtle thought it would hear: Who wants your stinking money?

But he misjudged the situation.

"Okay! Hand it all over!" Xiaoxi shouted.

The sea turtle was terrified. "No way?"

It tried to turn over, but couldn't.

"Go, bring out all the money, and arrange it neatly. Don't try anything funny, or I'll smash your shell right now."

It's really too stupid for a turtle and a shrimp to do things in their original forms.

Xiaoxi stuck a talisman on each of their backs, allowing them to temporarily transform into human form.

The giant sea turtle transformed back into an old monk, realizing they had encountered a master; the talisman was powerful, and it dared not be arrogant.

It quickly scrambled and, together with the young novice monk, neatly arranged the bundles of money.

"That's all? What else?"

The old monk reluctantly pushed aside the bookshelf next to him, revealing a cubicle.

The cubicle was even larger than this meditation room, and it was filled with stacks of banknotes, as well as gold bars, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings.

"That's more like it!" Xiaoxi giggled.

"Bei Chen, why don't you hurry up and take it? I was just worried that you wouldn't have enough money to get married and support a wife and kids. Now it's enough."

"Oh? Xiaoxi, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Isn't all this money yours?"

"Bei Chen! I said I'd give them to you, so take them now! If you feel bad about it, then these antiques and paintings are mine!"

Bei Chen nervously put all the valuables in the meditation room into his storage bag, intending to pack them up first and then divide them up when he got back.

The old monk and the young novice were both stunned.

The old monk's heart was bleeding. This was clearly money they had plundered from devout men and women, but because it wasn't the original owner, they hadn't opened a bank account for it.

Most of the devout men and women at Guangde Temple are wealthy people from Shanghai, while others come from surrounding cities who are drawn by its reputation.

When they came to Guangde Temple, they all followed the temple's suggestion and stuffed large amounts of cash into the donation box instead of scanning a QR code.

To get a meeting with it to discuss Buddhist scriptures and Zen, they would try to curry favor with it by offering antiques and calligraphy.

This is clearly all its money.

The young girl and the tall young man, right in front of me, a sea turtle, not only robbed me, but also discussed the ownership of the money as if we were having a casual chat.

"This is outrageous!"

The old monk roared and unleashed his ultimate move, but the talisman on his back suddenly emitted light, knocking him back to his original form, which was even several times smaller than before.

"Bei Chen, collect them both. Once we have enough, we'll kill them all at once!"

The giant sea turtle shrunk into a small turtle and roared angrily, "You took my money and now you want to kill me? You have no sense of justice!"
