Senior Brother Huaian said: If you don’t practice well, I will throw you off the mountain and let you be beaten black and blue by the female devil!

Senior Brother Huaijin said: If you don’t eat well, let the female devil take you to experience the sufferings of the forest and make you picky about food! Senior Brother Huaizhi said: If you don’t recite the sutras well, then become a martial monk. When you are trained by the female devil, don’t cry! Senior Brother Huaicheng said...

Every senior brother has a legend about the female devil.

Even the youngest, Huai Rui, often acted mysterious and profound: I advise you to practice well, otherwise, you will lose face for the master. The eldest brother will only punish you to copy scriptures, but the female devil will let you know why the flowers are so red.

Most of the monks in Yunwu Temple are the so-called people with wisdom and worthy of becoming monks who were collected by the abbots from generation to generation when they traveled around begging for alms. This is what is often referred to as the Buddha saving those who are destined to be saved.

Some were poor people brought back from orphanages.

In short, we have all heard the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf when we were young.

Everyone thought that the female devil was a replica of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

After all, there was a woman who was a tiger before, and here a scary female devil was fabricated, who seemed to be more scary and more deterrent than the eldest brother who always had a cold face.

But they never expected that the female devil actually existed.

"So... the female devil that the brothers used to scare us, and the stories about the female devil, are all... true?"

"Of course. Do you think it was made up to deceive you?"

!!!

When Huai Rui turned around again, he saw his fellow apprentices on both sides nodding their heads with horrified looks on their faces.

The expression on his face clearly stated: We really thought it was all a story, we really thought the female devil was fake!

hehe.

Huai Rui smiled gently, "As your senior brother, I advise you to recite the scriptures well, practice well, clean the courtyard well, and do your own things well. But please, please don't be caught by the female demon... No, don't be caught by Senior Sister Huai Miao, otherwise, you will die miserably!"

!!!

A group of monks were so frightened by the smiling tiger-like Huai Rui that their heartbeats were out of sync. When they returned to the temple, they lined up in an orderly manner and stood in their respective positions, each of them being extremely cautious, as if today was their first day at Yunwu Temple.

Ye Wan looked around and felt very pleased, "Big Brother, you manage the temple very well. Thank you for your hard work!"

Huai'an looked around: ...

Glancing at Ye Wan, he saw her throwing the backpack to Huai Jin and Huai Rui with familiarity. Several people made faces at each other, apparently not saying anything, yet acting as if they had said everything.

Huai'an said in a deep voice: "Let's go see the master first."

With the word "Master", Ye Wan clearly felt that the faces of all his fellow disciples around him became silent.

Even Huai Jin, the most lively one, stopped smiling, and the fat on his face stayed still.

Ye Wan's heart sank.

The three of them turned and headed towards the dormitory.

I know that Yunwu Mountain is big, and I also know that Yunwu Temple is a century-old temple.

But after walking with Huai'an for more than ten minutes, passing through several courtyards and rows of dormitories, the road ahead seemed to have no end. Lu Changchuan finally realized how big Yunwu Temple was.

When night fell and the whole earth was in darkness, I finally saw that bright little courtyard.

Lu Changchuan knew that they had arrived.
