The room was silent and tense. Not a single one of the dozens of monks crammed into the dormitory uttered a single sound.
Just as everyone held their breath and stared nervously at the two people on the bed, a sharp and rapid squeak suddenly sounded in the silent room.
The little white rabbit, which had been nestling obediently in Chen Yanli's arms, seemed to be frightened by the old monk who was getting closer and closer.
He screamed with his fur standing on end, and the fake monks' attention was drawn to him, and they all turned to look at him.
The old monk also stopped what he was doing temporarily.
Unlike the cold and fierce look they showed when facing Chen Yanli, the eyes they looked at the little white rabbit were as gentle and kind as they were during the day.
The fat monk standing beside the bed reached out to take the little rabbit away while explaining to the old monk.
"Master, this is what I told you about. It's the little bunny that has a connection with Junior Brother Fachen. He especially likes to stick to Junior Brother Fachen and won't let him leave even for a moment."
Adopted stray cats can be seen everywhere in Dahe Guangming Temple. From the fat monk’s words last night, it is not difficult to see that they often bring stray dogs back to the dormitory to take care of them.
It is very common to encounter an aggressive and unfriendly dog and be bitten once or twice.
Every monk Yu Tong met was very friendly to him. Their attitude towards animals was even more gentle and indulgent than towards people.
Relying on his current appearance, he is a weak, timid and easily stressed little bunny.
Yu Tong bent his body with his fur standing on end, and bit the fat monk's outstretched hand hard.
The monks were silent just now, which means that checking the things hidden in Chen Yanli's mouth and ears is a very delicate job that requires the old monk's full concentration.
Brother Chen is a very cautious person. He will try his best to hide his problems, so the flaw in his right ear will not be too obvious.
Yu Tong planned to distract the old monk and interfere with his judgment by pretending to have a stress response.
But as soon as he took a bite of the fat monk's hand, he realized something was wrong.
Why do this fat guy's hands taste so weird?
This time, it didn't feel like he was biting into flesh, but rather like he was touching some liquid.
The system’s “Fuck” sound came from my mind.
[What is this? Why is it so sticky?!]
In the flickering light of the room, Yu Tong saw that the fat monk had bitten his fingertips. Drops of a strange-smelling black liquid flowed from the wound.
The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared after a while.
Yu Tong remembered that it was not like this last night.
Yesterday, the fat monk was bitten by a woman in the dormitory, and there was clearly bright red blood flowing from his arm.
Suppressing his doubts deep in his heart, Yu Tong continued to concentrate on solving the crisis at hand.
The fat monk was not angry with the little rabbit. He continued to coax the little rabbit with a smile, wanting to hand him over to his junior brother behind him.
Before the apprentice could grab hold of it, the little rabbit screamed and jumped out, bumping into the old monk. Then, as if frightened out of control, it began to jump around on the bed.
The monks were afraid of hurting the little rabbit, so they didn't dare to catch it hard.
Relying on their indulgence and love for animals, Yu Tong did his best to make trouble.
The old monk was very smart. While the other monks were still busy trying to appease the little rabbit, he had already noticed something was wrong.
He recited the mantra silently and threw out the Buddhist beads, which immediately caught the jumping rabbit.
The fat monk murmured "ouch" softly.
The old monk said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I just used the most common binding spell, it can't hurt this little ancestor."
Yu Tong raised his eyebrows.
Little ancestor?
The nickname they gave him is so special.
The old monk carefully picked up the rabbit and looked it over. "Fachen, is this really just an ordinary rabbit? Not a rabbit spirit?"
Just like Brother Chen in Yu Tong’s impression, Chen Yanli has a strong ability to manage facial expressions.
No matter what others said, he always looked a little confused and helpless.
Seeing the old monk opening his mouth at him, Chen Yanli pointed to his ears and sighed helplessly.
Although the little white rabbit kept making trouble, the old monk still took the time to check Chen Yanli's ears.
A quick glance confirmed that the rune sealing hearing was still there. It was basically the same as on my left ear, so there was no problem.
The old monk was used to being cautious and did not let his guard down.
He temporarily put Fachen's matter aside and began to study the little white rabbit in his hand.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old monk took out a yellow talisman from his arms.
Yu Tong, who was pretending to be pitiful, was stunned.
"Myna, if I'm not mistaken, this looks like a Taoist yellow talisman?"
The system smacked its lips. [You read that right. Just now, when he was taking something out, I saw tarot cards in his arms.]
Yu Tong: ...
Okay, a big hodgepodge.
The fake monk held the yellow talisman between his two fingers and flicked it gently. The talisman paper automatically burned and turned into ashes.
He sprinkled the yellow talisman ash on the little white rabbit's face, and the rabbit choked and sneezed several times.
Seeing that the rabbit had no other reaction, the fake monks in the room all breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a trace of suspicion and vigilance arose in Yu Tong's heart.
That is the emotion conveyed by the telepathic props.
He glanced at the bed inconspicuously.
The handsome young monk was looking at everyone present with a blank look.
It was as if he was really just a poor deaf-mute who was feeling uneasy because he couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world.
The yellow talisman that the old monk just used can most likely determine whether the animal is a monster or not.
After the crisis, Brother Chen will definitely ask about his identity.
Yu Tong had two props that could fool people, so he wasn't nervous at all.
————
Seeing that the old monk failed to catch the villain due to the host's interference, the system cheered happily.
[Great, the crisis is over... Damn, what are they going to do!]
The old monk stuffed the little white rabbit into a cardboard box and handed it to the disciple behind him.
