"Amitabha."
A Buddhist voice suddenly sounded from the woods behind everyone.
"who?!"
Most of the people present were tomb raiders and had strong reaction abilities. They immediately stood up and took a defensive posture.
"Don't worry, benefactor. I saw you in danger and couldn't bear to see you suffer, so I came to your rescue."
The soft voice gradually approached, and a bald monk in a plain robe slowly walked into the area covered by the fire.
"Amitabha."
The monk stood at a safe distance from the crowd and said, "My name is Tianyuan. Nice to meet you, everyone."
【Tianyuan? ?】
Chu Mu stared at the young monk.
[Is this the Tianyuan I imagined? ]
[It is me.]
The sudden reply sounded in his ears, which scared Chu Mu.
[Oh my god! Lao Ba! Is he talking to me?]
{I don’t know either, meow!}
[Don't be suspicious, it's really me, Lao Ba. Long time no see.]
Chu Mu's eyes widened to the size of three flowers: [Alright, you bastard, you're hooking up with a monk behind my back? ? ]
{I don’t know. I don’t even know this weird monk!}
[Don't misunderstand, Mr. Xiao Chu. I once saw Lao Ba on the cute pet rankings of the Plane Center Bureau and have been a loyal fan ever since.]
[Damn!! My cat actually has fans? ? ]
{Meow!} Lao Ba instantly felt that the monk had become more handsome.
Don't be sad, Donor Xiao Chu. Your fans are definitely more than you can fit in even if you go around the Fast Passing Game. If you'd like, I'm always at your service.
…
The two people and the cat were communicating silently.
Jie Ye and Lin Zhao could only hear Chu Mu's inner thoughts.
From his brief sentences, Jie was able to analyze some information: Chu Mu's cat was not an ordinary cat, and this monk could communicate with Chu Mu through telepathy.
Why?!
Jie Ye suddenly felt very unhappy.
He glared at Tianyuan fiercely.
"This donor, Jie, found the fish at my suggestion, and I also cooked the first bowl of soup for this young donor."
Tian Yuan took a step closer to the fire and said, "Because I don't want to expose myself, I agreed with him not to tell anyone."
"Master," Old Lady Jie bowed to Tianyuan, "It's not that we don't believe you, it's really—"
"I understand." Tianyuan walked to the lake and recited a passage of scripture softly. Suddenly, two-meter-high waves rose on the calm lake surface.
A silver fish tail jumped out of the water and then fell back down.
"It's a true master!"
The three boatmen were the first to believe it.
"Our ancestors said that there was a high-ranking monk under the command of the Yin King. When the Yin King was alive, he followed the Yin King to conquer the north and south and pacify the world. After the Yin King passed away, he sat in meditation in front of the tomb and left behind his disciples to guard the Yin King's tomb for generations."
Mrs. Xie looked at a middle-aged man wearing glasses and said, "Professor, look at this?"
The professor's glasses are fixed to the back of his head with a leather strap, and the shape is very unique.
"There is indeed such a thing in the Records of the Grand Historian."
He adjusted his glasses, and his eyes sparkled behind them.
"I didn't expect that Dharma King Tianyuan still has disciples in the world."
"Amitabha." The little monk chanted the Buddha's name.
Chu Mu looked at this and that, feeling overwhelmed.
What the hell? How did a Tianyuan Dharma King suddenly appear? And even passed away in front of the Yin King's tomb? This plot is so dramatic!
[Haha, don't be offended, Little Chu. Who wouldn't say this is all a show?]
【……】
Chu Mu suspected that the monk had something else in his words, but unfortunately he could not find any evidence.
"Master," Old Lady Jie's attitude immediately became friendly. "Since you saved us, why didn't you want to reveal yourself at first, but then changed your mind? Do you know the purpose of our trip?"
Tianyuan smiled but did not answer.
Old Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes, and she tore at Xie Ye and cried, "If there were any other possibility, we would never disturb the Yin King's sleep. It's really that my only grandson has suffered from a strange disease since he was a child, and only the medicine in the Yin King's tomb can cure it. I have no choice but to do this..."
[This old woman's acting is so fake, even if I pretend to believe her, it will only make people more suspicious, right?]
[Thank you, Xiaochu, for the reminder.]
Tian Yuan blinked at Chu Mu.
Solution: The fist is hard.
"Don't say anything, Elder Jie. My purpose for this trip is the same as yours," Tian Yuan said decisively. "My master and ancestor left me the secret teachings in the tomb of the Hidden King. I have no intention of living in seclusion any longer. I plan to retrieve the secret teachings and promote them. Therefore, I would also like to ask for your help."
Old Lady Jie quickly withdrew her crocodile tears and said with a smile, "Young Master, you really know how to joke. You are the descendant of the Dharma King. Isn't entering and exiting the Tomb of the Hidden King like entering your own back garden?"
"Not really," Tian Yuan smiled, "A hundred years ago, a senior fellow of mine also wanted to do the same thing, but as soon as he entered the cemetery—"
Tianyuan deliberately didn't say the whole story.
"What's wrong? Tell me quickly."
The professor looked anxious.
Tian Yuan's narrow phoenix eyes smiled again: "My master tore off my skin and threw it out."
“…”
The scene suddenly became quiet.
"Do you know about the punishment of mercury skinning? They bury the person in the ground, leaving only the head exposed. Then they cut a hole in the scalp and pour mercury in it..."
"Don't say anymore," said Old Lady Xie, her face pale as she took several steps back. "How is it possible... could your master have become a doctor of chemistry and was playing with mercury in a tomb?"
