"Yes, although I don't want to admit it, it's the truth! No wonder I felt this temple was strange at first; it turns out this temple relies on the four of us!"
I couldn't help but sigh, and then sat down next to Luo Tianhe and the others. At that moment, Luo Tianhe poured me a cup of water, and I took the cup and drank it in big gulps.
When I discovered the true nature of this temple, I was quite angry.
"How could such a ridiculous thing happen!"
Luo Tianhe, Lao Dao, and the ants were furious after hearing what I said.
Especially Luo Tianhe, at first we all thought that Luo Tianhe had attracted those evil spirits.
But now it seems that the real evil spirits are not actually that powerful.
These evil spirits are probably targeting Nanshan Temple!
Our real mission is not to protect Luo Tianhe's survival, but to protect this Nanshan Temple!
My head is buzzing.
Holy crap, this is truly unbelievable!
"So tonight, the rest of us will stay in the room and keep watch. If anything happens to Ji Xinglan, we'll go there immediately!"
I placed my hands on Luo Tianhe's and Lao Dao's necks respectively, while the ants next to us moved a little closer.
"But Old Chen, is it appropriate for you to leave Ji Xinglan there alone? What if those old fogies really have something to do with her!"
Luo Tianhe reminded me that he didn't have a good impression of these monks and simply thought they were very problematic!
He's seen too many bad monks, so it's normal for him to have these thoughts.
"Don't worry, I've checked them all. The energy in these monks' bodies is too low, so they pose basically no threat. Even without those paintings as substitutes, Ji Xinglan's power is sufficient!"
I have a lot of faith in Ji Xinglan's power. Words can deceive, but energy cannot. Energy is like mathematics; strong is strong, and weak is weak, and you can tell at a glance.
"Well, even so, to be on the safe side, the four of us should still be careful. If there's any movement, we should go there immediately. We absolutely cannot let Ji Xinglan get into any harm!"
Luo Tianhe gave a few words of advice to the ants and the old knife.
"Don't worry, Brother Luo, Brother Chen and Ji Xinglan are symbiotic. We will absolutely not let anything happen to Ji Xinglan!"
The two spoke in unison.
Soon, the monks brought us our meal.
It was all vegetarian food, but seeing how plump and healthy these monks looked, I really couldn't believe they ate this all the time!
The young monk who delivered the food was quite interesting; corresponding to Xinyuan from earlier, his Dharma name was Yima.
When put together, it means "restless mind and wandering thoughts".
Could it be that the redstone was discovered from the very beginning?
I observed the young monk again, and I must say, he was quite hot-tempered.
"That's all the vegetarian food?"
I deliberately asked, and sure enough, the little monk's reaction was a little different as soon as I finished speaking.
"Hehe, this benefactor guessed correctly. This is indeed what we monks eat on a daily basis, but it's different when we treat our guests!"
After Yima finished speaking, he immediately went out and brought back a food box from outside.
They immediately placed the items in front of us, and I could smell the aroma even through the box.
It smells really good, like meat.
I stared at Ima and noticed that Ima's expression was a bit off; he was swallowing hard. It seemed that this guy had been drooling over this for a while.
When I opened the box, I found fragrant dog meat and frog porridge inside.
Besides these, there was also a pot of hot wine.
"Uh, you monks have this kind of thing?"
I pointed to the food and asked Yima.
Ima swallowed hard.
"Benefactor, it's like this, normally it's not like this! But, isn't this a special case?"
Yima spoke awkwardly, not daring to look at the food.
"This dog was found by my senior brother when he went up the mountain to chop firewood today. It was almost dead when he found it. As a compassionate monk, he couldn't bear to see such a thing!"
After Yima finished speaking, he put his hands together and said "Amitabha" in a gesture of apology. I found his fake compassion amusing.
That's so damn fake.
"We just happened to find this frog while cooking. Considering that you gentlemen were frightened, Abbot Hongshi instructed us to cook it! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Yima scratched his head, chuckled, and drool was practically dripping from his mouth, his eyes fixed on the food.
I picked up a spoon and took out a few bowls from the box, distributing them to Luo Tianhe, Lao Dao, and Ant.
Ima stared intently at what I was holding.
I suspect this little monk is quite cunning!
They didn't bring them out at first, and if I didn't ask, they would have eaten them themselves.
Now that we've asked, we know that after we ate it, he couldn't eat it anymore. I can understand this sense of loss.
"Alright, young master, you've worked hard too, have a taste!"
I gave this horse a tug, and sure enough, it became a little out of control.
He sat down directly, picked up an empty bowl, and prepared to eat with us.
I didn't move. He was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to move or not.
"Young monk, let me ask you, don't you monks not eat these things?"
I deliberately opened my mouth, and sure enough, Yi Ma said the words "Buddha is in my heart".
I cursed him in my heart as a fake monk.
At that moment, I felt the energy in Yima's body suddenly increase; this was desire!
A bold idea popped into my head, and I reached out and placed my hand on the little master's back. Sure enough, the energy inside this Yima's body was a great tonic for me.
Wow! Doesn't this mean that by seducing these people and arousing their inner desires, I can increase my strength?
That sounds so awesome!
Soon, Yima's body went limp, and I noticed that the energy within his body had also diminished significantly in that instant.
A slight smile played on my lips; the problem was finally solved.
"What's wrong with me, benefactor?"
A moment later, Ima straightened up and turned to look at me.
I stared at him, and I could tell that he absolutely did not remember what had just happened.
In that instant, I became certain that the so-called evil thoughts in the hearts of these monks were deliberately instigated.
"You little bald monk, what are you pretending for!"
At this point, the hot-tempered Lao Dao couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to start cursing.
I couldn't stop them even when I tried.
Old Dao kicked Yi Ma down.
I helped Yima up and pointed to the food on the table. Yima shook his head repeatedly, telling me that monks don't eat these things.
I stared into his clear, college-student-like eyes and nodded. It seemed this guy had recovered.
