"We are very grateful to you all for coming to worship, but please do not cause us any trouble."
The Buddhist monk smiled, and Zhou Shen seemed to be enveloped in a soft glow, making people feel very comfortable and peaceful. "We still need to help many more people, so please keep the environment quiet."
"We just thought this thing was a bit strange; we didn't come here to cause trouble on purpose."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers quickly offered explanations, pointing to the mermaid inside the large wooden tub, who was holding a trident, baring her teeth, and roaring at the crowd.
"Yes, yes, it's just in time for you to come, Buddha. Let's quickly see what this is."
Seeing this, the other onlookers quickly chimed in, "This thing looks so strange, could it be some kind of demon?"
"Monster?"
Nowadays, the most feared things in the mortal realm are anything associated with the word "demon." Upon hearing that something might be a demon, even the usually calm Buddhist disciple became serious.
I walked through the crowd toward the mermaid.
"Put it away."
The middle-aged man in the yellow jacket hadn't expected that such a small mermaid would attract the attention of the Buddhists, so he quickly gave a hint to the leader in the blue robe.
"They've already been taken out, so how are we going to put them away?"
Seeing this, the blue-robed leader was also very anxious. "They are demons, not zombies. They are living things and cannot be put into the storage space, otherwise they will die immediately."
"Even if I die, it's better than having my identity exposed."
The middle-aged man in the yellow jacket urged, "Besides, it's just a mermaid. It's not like we've lost it all. If it dies, we can just catch another one."
"You make it sound so easy."
The blue-robed leader immediately objected, "You think you can just catch another one like that? Not to mention the mermaids might not agree, this round trip will take two hours, and it's already getting dark."
"It's getting dark, but that doesn't stop us from getting back to the Divine Realm."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket was slightly taken aback, and then said, "You must have misremembered the time, right? This is the mortal realm. Even if a month has passed, the Yaksha on the master's side hasn't even been gone for a day."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the blue-robed leader was suddenly stunned.
Just as the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket said, he had indeed misremembered the time. This was the Holy Realm, not the Divine Realm. A few days' delay was no big deal.
"call out…"
So, the next second, before the Buddhist disciple even arrived, the blue-robed leader decisively put the wooden bucket into his storage space.
"Ah, where's the stuff?!"
Upon seeing this, all the onlookers shouted at the blue-robed leader, "Hurry up and take out the things! Why did you put them away!"
"Yeah, could it be that we were right, that thing really is a monster!"
One onlooker immediately remarked, "You hid it because you were afraid we'd discover something!"
"You all misread it just now; we did not release any monsters."
At this moment, the zombies, now without any evidence, became very calm and said, "We are just ordinary people who came here to worship Buddha. How could we possibly be carrying demons? You are being too sensitive."
"Impossible! There are so many of us watching, how could we be wrong!"
However, the onlookers were not convinced.
