Chapter 222 What kind of mythical beasts are there in the world?
Yu Youning and a few others were leisurely sea fishing on the boat.
At the same time, Lin Ruoli, led by her mother-in-law, went to see Master Canghai.
Master Canghai is the most respected monk in Xiliang.
Although he had no real power, he was sought after by dignitaries and common people in Xiliang.
Even the Xiliang royal family was very polite to Master Canghai.
This is not only because Master Canghai has profound Buddhist knowledge and is highly respected, but also because Master Canghai’s disciple is Buddhist disciple Nianyi.
Lin Ruoli already knew this before she came. After meeting Master Canghai, she saw that Master Canghai kept talking to her mother-in-law, and Lin Ruoli couldn't stand it any longer.
"Master, Grandma, I want to go and see the Buddha. I wonder if it's possible."
Master Canghai looked at Lin Ruoli with some surprise, "Young donor, you actually know Nianyi?"
"During the Three Kingdoms Competition, Fuzi went to Dayong. I had the honor of meeting him a few times and chatting with him."
Lin Ruoli's words were half true and half false.
We have indeed met and we have indeed talked.
But it’s not that pleasant.
However, if she doesn't tell the specific details, others will not know, let alone dig into it.
As expected, after hearing this, Master Canghai simply nodded slightly and said, "Since the young donor and Nianyi are old acquaintances, I'd like to meet them and have something to talk about. I'll have someone take the young donor there right away."
"Thank you, Master!"
Master Canghai called a young monk and asked him to take Lin Ruoli to see Nian Yi.
Lin Ruoli followed the little monk, and the more she walked, the more she realized that something was wrong around her.
Why does it become more and more remote the further we go?
Could it be that this little novice monk in front was impersonated by someone, who wanted to take her to a remote and deserted place and kill her?
Thinking this in her heart, Lin Ruoli's steps gradually slowed down.
The young monk stopped at this moment and turned around with a strange expression on his face. "Little donor, aren't you going to see Junior Master? Why don't you leave?"
"Junior Master? Do you mean the Buddha's disciple?"
"Yes! Junior Master's apprentice is the abbot. Although he is young, he is of a very high generation! Will you still go, young donor?"
"Since his master is the abbot and his seniority is so high, why does he live in such a remote place?"
This temple is located in the mountains. There are pilgrims in front of it, giving people a quiet and peaceful feeling.
But as they walked further back, they could not see any pilgrims or even any practicing monks around.
The surrounding buildings are not as majestic as the ones in front, but instead give people a desolate feeling.
How could a Buddhist live in such a place?
The more Lin Ruoli thought about it, the more suspicious she felt the little monk in front of her was, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him also changed.
The young monk clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist chant, and explained honestly, "Because my junior uncle likes peace and quiet, he wants to live here and not allow anyone to make extensive renovations. So these are just external possessions, there's no need to pay too much attention to them."
It sounded like something Nian Yi could say.
Lin Ruoli took a deep breath and mustered up her courage, "Okay, let's keep going!"
Regardless of whether this little monk is real or fake, she must find out what is going on today, and more importantly, she must follow the original plan and make Nian Yi stand on her side.
With the support of the Buddha's disciples, it would be much easier for her to take the position of Crown Princess.
Seeing that Lin Ruoli was finally willing to continue walking, the little monk chanted the Buddha's name again and then continued to lead the way.
After walking for about another quarter of an hour and passing through a door, Lin Ruoli finally saw an open platform.
But this platform is a cliff!
Several thatched houses were built on the platform, and a pavilion was constructed with wooden sticks and thatch.
At this time, Nian Yi was wearing a tattered gray-blue monk's robe and sitting cross-legged under the pavilion.
While Lin Ruoli was still in shock and hesitation, the young monk had already stepped forward and stopped near the pavilion.
"Junior Master, there is a female donor looking for you."
Nian Yi slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and looked towards Lin Ruoli.
When he first looked over, there was a glimmer of hope in Nian Yi's eyes.
But when he saw clearly that it was Lin Ruoli, the light in his eyes instantly disappeared, and Biqing also became extremely indifferent.
"It's you." Nian Yi had a good memory and naturally recognized Lin Ruoli. "What do you want from me?"
Lin Ruoli walked forward with a smile. "A Buddhist disciple is of noble status and high position. How can you live in a place like this? It's not only remote and dilapidated, but also so dangerous. But is there anyone in this temple who treats you badly?"
Nian Yi shook his head, "No one has treated me badly, and I don't think there's anything wrong with living here."
Only by living here can he calm his mind.
"But this is really unfair to you, Buddhist. If this gets out, it will damage your reputation and Xiliang's reputation! Your status should be comparable to that of a prince. How can you live in such a poor place? How about I help you find a new place to live?"
"Fozi and I have known each other before, and we can be considered old friends. We should meet more often and visit each other frequently. I can also learn Buddhism from you. What do you think?"
Nian Yi shook his head again, his face showing neither sadness nor joy.
"No."
After being rejected repeatedly and even being seen by a young monk, Lin Ruoli felt so ashamed and angry that her face became uglier and uglier.
"Why? Do Buddhists look down on me?"
"You misunderstood. This is just my nature. I don't like to get along with people. If you want to learn Buddhism, you can find my master and brothers. They will definitely be able to answer your questions. I have homework to do, so I won't see you off."
After saying this, Nian Yi turned and walked into the house.
Lin Ruoli didn't come back to her senses from her shock until she heard the door slam shut.
Gone?
He just left like that?
Lin Ruoli looked at the tightly closed door and her expression became extremely ugly.
Although the little monk is not very old, he is still older than Lin Ruoli.
Seeing Lin Ruoli's expression, he knew that Lin Ruoli must be angry, so he hurried to explain and comfort her.
"Don't be angry, young donor. This is just the nature of my junior uncle. He has been very aloof since he was a child and doesn't like to interact with people. Apart from the abbot, he basically doesn't talk much to others."
The young monk felt that such an explanation should make Lin Ruoli happy.
But in fact, after hearing this, Lin Ruoli's face became even uglier.
Are you cold by nature?
Don’t like interacting with people?
Not talking much?
Then why were you always with Yu Youning when you were in Dayong Capital?
Why are you always talking and laughing?
Yu Youning obviously only knows how to eat and play. He can't move every time he sees food. What's so good about him?
Why does everyone like Yu Youning?
Lin Ruoli stared at the closed door intently, then turned and left with a sullen face.
It won’t be long before news of Yu Youning’s death comes!
No!
It is possible that Yu Youning's head was sent back directly.
When that time comes, she will definitely bring Yu Youning's head over to read it herself.
She wanted to see what Nian Yitui's expression would be when that time came.
Seeing Lin Ruoli turn around and leave with big strides, the little monk did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly chased after her.
The road in the back mountain is complicated and not easy to walk on, and there are potential dangers, so he still needs to lead the way.
When they returned to the front, the mother-in-law was already waiting there.
After seeing Lin Ruoli, the mother-in-law didn't ask anything and led her out of the temple and into the car.
It was not until the car had driven a long distance that my mother-in-law spoke lightly.
"If you want to be taken seriously, you must have a certain status and position, and you must also have your own abilities."
"Just being angry is useless."
"From today on, I will give you a different prescription."
"Be patient, it won't be long before things start to turn around."
Lin Ruoli bit her lips tightly and finally asked, "Grandma, can those people bring back Yu Youning's head in a few days?"
Grandma scoffed, "Dream on! How could they possibly have that ability?"
Lin Ruoli was instantly shocked. "What? Since mother-in-law knew they couldn't do it, why did she—"
"Why let them die?"
My mother-in-law chuckled.
"They are just a bunch of ants who died, so what? I didn't expect them to succeed, but their appearance tells me... I'm still thinking about you..."
My mother-in-law's last words were vague and unclear.
Lin Ruoli didn't hear clearly, nor did she understand, but she didn't dare to ask.
In the mouth of my mother-in-law, the lives of so many people have become as insignificant as those of ants.
If she asked too many questions and made her mother-in-law unhappy, would her mother-in-law kill her?
The mother-in-law looked down and saw the terrified expression on Lin Ruoli's face. She burst out laughing. "Why are you still scared? If I wanted to kill you, would I have sent someone to bring you all the way back to Xiliang? Li'er, do you know what kind of mythical beasts there are in this world? Yu Youning can summon the Teng Snake, but what can you summon? If you also have a mythical beast, who will win between you and Yu Youning?"
"Mother-in-law?"
Lin Ruoli's breathing became rapid and she looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.
"You mean, I can do it too?"
"Of course I can, it's just that the time is not right! But it won't be long!"
-
Yu Youning and his crew's ship arrived at Penglai Island accompanied by the sunset glow.
Penglai Island seemed to have received the news long ago, and many people were standing at the dock to greet them.
Standing in the front are Yu Mubai, the island owner of Penglai Island, and his wife Li Shuhe.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the two of them looked no different from when they first met.
In fact, perhaps because they were on Penglai Island, the two of them standing there quietly seemed even more otherworldly, like a pair of immortal couples.
Even at her age, she is still eye-catching.
The boat had just docked and the wooden planks had just been built, but Yu Youning couldn't wait to run down the planks.
"Grandfather!"
"Grandma!"
"Youning is back!"
"Youning misses you guys so much! Do you miss Youning?"
