Chapter 184 Pretending to be innocent, Master Bo likes it

Lin Tuan patted the seat next to him and asked Lin Du to sit over there. He took out an ointment from his storage ring and planned to apply it on Lin Du's face first.

At this moment, Hou Cang walked out from the peach forest, his white clothes covered with thousands of bloodstains. His eyes dropped from the box of ointment he saw every day to Lin Du's almost healed face, and he said coldly, "I was the one who set the restriction."

Lin Tuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "When did it open?"

Hou Cang pursed his lips and said, "After that Buddhist monk left."

In this forbidden peach forest, apart from the master and his apprentice and Feng Chao, only the Buddhist cultivator can enter and exit freely.

“Why open it?”

"He didn't come before, and he came and went freely. What if he suddenly attacked you? Buddhism and Taoism are not the same path, not to mention..."

Lin Du tilted his head, "But brother, although Buddhism and Taoism are two different schools, Buddhism is also the right path. You practice the ruthless way, why do you still have prejudices against Buddhism? Moreover, Master Wei Zhi looks a bit like my uncle, so I think they are old friends. Why do you still have a grudge against my uncle's friend?"

"How about... copying more Heart Sutra? That's what the senior sister taught me! She said it's good for cultivating the mind!"

Lin Du frantically activated his green tea attribute, turned around and looked at Lin Tuan with pretended pride, "Isn't it, Master?"

"You are right." Lin Tuan patted her head. "Wei Zhi... is an old acquaintance of mine. Your mindset has gone astray the more you cultivate. Just like your junior sister said, go and copy the Huaide Sutra."

Lin Du whispered, "I copy it ten times every time."

"Then ten times." Lin Tuan looked at Hou Cang and repeated, "Hurry up, you won't scare your junior sister if you show up like this."

The frightened Lin Du sat innocently beside Lin Tuan and never stood up to greet him from beginning to end.

Hou Cang still stood there without moving, his eyes fell on the ointment in Lin Tuan's hand, "Yes, then the disciple will withdraw first and apply the ointment himself."

He emphasized the word "self-reliance" very much, but Lin Tuan seemed to have been reminded. He took the medicine and turned to Lin Du, "Come, I'll apply it on you. It won't look good if such a beautiful face is injured."

Lin Du stretched his neck obediently and moved his face forward.

Hou Cang stood where he was, looking at Lin Du's profile with deep eyes.

The wound was as thin as a hair. People with poor eyesight couldn't see it. Why did they still need to apply medicine? Wouldn't it heal with one's own spiritual power in a day? Why waste such a good skin-regenerating ointment?

This so-called sickly little junior sister, looking back, doesn't seem pitiful or lovable at all. She is so scheming that her heart can dye the sea black.

Hou Cang realized that his master had made up his mind to ignore him, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to leave quietly.

After making sure that everyone had returned to the house, Lin Tuan finally told Lin Du what she wanted to hear.

"That child Wei Zhi was also an unjust person."

Lin Du was so shocked by the word "child" that his brain froze for a while. He couldn't figure out how Wei Zhi could be associated with the word "child".

Lin Tuan looked at her dazed look and couldn't help laughing. "To us old folks, anyone under a thousand years old is still a child, especially someone your age, who can't be any younger."

Lin Du opened his mouth, but couldn't think of how to ask the question, so he responded instinctively, "But Master looks very young, and he only walked out with me because he was calm and dignified."

"You came here today, probably to find me to confirm whether Wei Zhi will be a threat to your trip, right?"

Lin Tuan had heard of the outside world's evaluation of Lin Du, that he was extremely smart and a rare talent. When Lin Du arrived, he directly explained the relationship between Wei Zhi and Yuan Ye's incident. He also affirmed that her friend must be a good person when talking to Hou Cang just now. Naturally, he wanted her confirmation.

"He didn't tell you directly about this because if the life story of the Tantric Buddhist disciple were to be spread, it would be a shock to the Buddhist community. Moreover, it would still be a crisis for the current situation."

Lin Luan paused, looking straight at him, "You must have noticed something, right?"

Lin Du did not deny it. He grinned, revealing two sharp little canine teeth, and said childishly, "I knew that I could not hide anything from my master. Time really brings infinite wisdom to people."

Lin Tuan ignored her friendly words and patted her head. "You are a smart child. Even if I didn't tell you, you probably guessed something. You should know what you can and can't say. How far have you guessed?"

Lin Du blinked, then subconsciously lowered his eyes and rubbed his middle finger. "The surname Lou was the royal family surname of the former Posa Kingdom. It is well known in the cultivation world that the Buddha transformed the dragon into a golden body. The curse and formation on Yuan Ye's body that are connected to the dragon veins, I think perhaps Master Wei Zhi is also looking for a way to suppress the dragon energy of the real dragon in the mortal world."

The child spoke very quickly, but Lin Tuan still heard it clearly. From the first sentence, she knew that the rumors outside even underestimated Lin Du.

Her sensitivity was far beyond Lin Tuan's imagination. With just one word "楼" that day, Lin Du was able to connect so many things and was infinitely close to the truth, but he was unable to fill in the details.

No wonder he can break the evil spirit array at such a young age.

"Yes," Lin Tuan admitted readily, "Wei Zhi is an orphan of the previous dynasty, and I am his aunt. However, after I left for Zhongzhou, I was removed from the royal family."

Lin Du’s eyes widened. They were actually... aunt and nephew.

The best in Zhongzhou, and a Buddhist disciple, this royal family is really...full of talented people.

Lin Du somewhat missed his father Yan Ye, who came from a grassroots background like himself and had no parents.

"In fact, Wei Zhi and I were two generations making different moves."

"I don't know what kind of escape is buried in Wei Zhi's body, but I only know that he was born with Buddha bones. The day he was born symbolized that the country of Posha was destined to be destroyed and replaced by Buddhism."

Lin Tuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him causing any obstacles to your journey in the mortal world. He seems to be unbridled and provocative, but in fact... he has never broken his rules."

"He told me that his purpose this time is the same as yours."

"To be specific, if he wants to tell you, he will tell you. Since you are here today, it is time to strengthen the seal between the mortal world and our spiritual world. I will teach you some methods to strengthen and dissolve seals and curses."

Upon hearing this, Lin Du immediately sat up straight, temporarily forgetting Wei Zhi and Long, and said with a pair of dark and sincere eyes, "It would be great if Master could teach me!"
