No matter how angry the baby sea turtle is, it roars very softly.
Xiaoxi and the others completely ignored the whimpering.
What would be a suitable temporary disguise for a monster?
Bei Chen searched through his storage space and found the fine mesh bag that had been used to hold vegetables when the cafeteria received its deliveries that morning.
This is suitable.
He put the baby sea turtle in a fine net bag; he was still a young novice monk when he was in human form.
The young novice monk, whose original form was a shrimp, cried.
"My lords, spare me! I haven't done anything wrong! Why am I the one counting the money? I don't get a single penny. I never get the good things, but I'm always the one who has to die with you?"
The baby sea turtle roared in the net, trying to shut the young novice monk up, but it had no real deterrent effect.
The young novice ignored it and begged Xiao Xi and Bei Chen not to kill it.
Seeing that the little novice monk had no signs of murder, Xiaoxi promised to release him back into the sea afterward.
So the young novice monk rattled off everything.
The sea creatures were living a good life until one day, the giant sea turtle went mad, forced them to come ashore, and took over Guangde Temple.
The monks of Guangde Temple were either killed or imprisoned, not to mention the abbot, Venerable Huifang, who was also murdered.
They have taken over Guangde Temple, and the incense offerings have become even more abundant.
Devout men and women offered generous sums of money as incense oil. Only those who gave large sums were qualified to enter the main hall to burn incense and kneel in worship.
Other poor people could only kneel and worship outside the gates of the main hall.
They won't even let measly money go into the donation box, saying it takes up space.
The little shrimp monk's daily routine consisted of serving the sea turtle and helping it count its money.
Xiaoxi asked the little novice monk about some things she didn't understand.
Why do sea turtles go crazy?
The sea turtle was bewitched by the great demon and was willing to risk its life for him, but it didn't even know what the great demon looked like.
The reason why Guangde Temple suddenly became popular was that the great demon had Guangde Temple print New Year pictures.
Today happens to be the day the giant sea turtle holds its Dharma assembly, so I received a large sum of money this morning.
They will also be holding a New Year picture auction this afternoon.
Fortunately, Guangde Temple had only previously displayed the New Year pictures for the devout to see.
This scarcity marketing was really well done; all the devout men and women wanted the New Year picture and eagerly awaited the afternoon auction.
Xiaoxi then roughly understood what had happened.
It turns out that the New Year paintings were complicated to make. The first batch of paintings was handed over to the fox spirit Yao Tai so that they could be circulated in the market.
Then the second batch of New Year pictures was auctioned off in the afternoon.
"Where is the printing workshop? Take us there!"
The little shrimp monk said weakly, "We have different roles, so I don't know the exact location either."
"Then you lead the way and take us to the main hall first!"
They left the small Zen temple, and Yan Mo jumped down from the big tree.
Little did she know that her husband's trip to the Zen temple with Xiaoxi would make the couple instantly rich.
The journey was unusually quiet; it seemed the monks were either in the main hall ahead or in the printing workshop.
Suddenly, a dog barked, revealing that Zha Zha Cheng and the other two, including Yu Qiu, had ventured deep into Guangde Temple.
Judging from Zha Zha Cheng's excited appearance, he has probably found a place to print New Year pictures.
Xiao Xi and Yu Qiu reunited, and Zha Zha Cheng shouted towards a courtyard, "Minister, the New Year's picture is inside."
They rushed inside immediately.
As expected, it was a printing workshop. When the monks inside saw strangers intruding, they barely made a move before Bei Chen, Yu Qiu, and the others rushed forward and subdued them all.
It turned out they were all crab and clam spirits, so Bei Chen put them all in a net.
Xiaoxi carefully examined the printing workshop.
The process of these monks making New Year pictures is quite complicated, involving painting, carving, and so on.
There's also a sealing ceremony after printing, where a lot of bats are hanging upside down in an iron cage.
How can we resolve the issue of these New Year paintings and bats?
