Chapter 88 Secret Teaching 3
◎Secret method to prolong life◎
The hedgehog must have gone mad with hunger.
Still in Yan Yue's arms, he plunged headfirst into the white steamed bun.
But only for a moment, and then it remained motionless. Yan Yue walked back to the house quickly, pulled the hedgehog's head out of the bun, and shook it: "Why is it dead?"
The hedgehog patted his chest with his bloody front paws. Yan Yue was surprised: "Is the steamed bun poisonous?"
The hedgehog rolled his little eyes in despair, glanced at the washbasin next to him, struggled hard, jumped, and fell into the basin. After taking several big gulps of water, the steamed bun that was choking on his chest finally went down.
Yan Yue finally understood, "He choked. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The hedgehog nibbled on a steamed bun, took a bite of a pickled vegetable, took a bite of an egg, and drank the raw egg liquid.
Yan Yue thought, this little kid eats everything and is quite easy to feed!
When the hedgehog finished eating the two steamed buns and the plate of pickles, and then stuck its head into the eggshell and licked up the last bit of egg liquid, Yan Yue was really shocked. Looking at its belly that was about to burst, I couldn't help but sigh: "How long has it been hungry?"
The hedgehog was probably full and had regained a lot of energy. It no longer looked half-dead as before and even crawled to Yan Yue on its own initiative.
Yan Yue was just about to hug it, but saw it sticking its bloody claws into her teacup!
"You bastard..."
Before she could finish her curse, the hedgehog wrote on the table: "Northwest corner, toilet."
"Take you to the toilet?" Yan Yue scratched his head and muttered softly: "This is digested really quickly..."
The hedgehog collapsed, and Yan Yue took it and went to the west wing. In the courtyard where she lived, she could go to the toilet and take a bath in the west wing, without having to go to the shared dry toilet.
Unexpectedly, the little hedgehog refused to go, so Yan Yue tried to persuade him for a long time: "Just poop in the toilet, don't be embarrassed! Why do you have to go to the dry toilet?"
But the little hedgehog was stubborn and his little paws pointed stubbornly towards the northwest.
Yan Yue had no choice but to cross most of the temple and take it to the dry toilet in the northwest corner.
She covered her nose and picked up the little hedgehog, asking: "Do you need me to hold you and pull you? Then you better be honest, or I won't rescue you if you fall into the pit..."
Before he could finish his words, the little hedgehog suddenly grew bigger and deformed, frightening Yan Yue so much that her hand trembled and she reflexively shook it away.
Fortunately, the hedgehog turned into a human form, otherwise it would have been thrown into the pit. Now it just lost its balance and was pushed to the ground.
Yan Yue knew it was a demon, so she reacted quickly and helped the skinny young man up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. You should have told me earlier that you were going to transform!"
The young man looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. He leaned in her arms and said weakly, "When we are in our original form as fairies, we cannot speak human language."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Yan Yue suddenly realized and asked, "Then why do you have to go to this toilet? We are different species, so we don't have to care too much about the difference between men and women, right?"
The young man held his forehead and explained, "I'm not going to the bathroom! This temple is full of formations. Only in this filthy place can I transform and talk to you."
"Formation?" Upon hearing this, Yan Yue quickly poked his head out of the toilet, "Where is the formation? Why can't I see it?"
The young man didn't bother to explain too much, and just said: "Don't worry about it, just leave here quickly, it's very dangerous here!"
Yan Yue spread her hands, "Do you think I came here willingly? I was captured. There are heavy guards here, and I can't run away at all!"
The young man tilted his head in despair: "It's over."
Yan Yue shook him, "What do you mean it's over? I worked so hard to rescue you, and you told me it's over. Is that right, little bean?"
The young man asked, "How do you know my name is Douding?"
Huh? Isn't this just like a blind cat meeting a bald hedgehog? So Yan Yue pretended to be profound and said: "I am not talented, but I am called Master Yue in the streets. So don't be afraid, tell me what happened, maybe I can help you."
Douding looked at her suspiciously: "Weren't you captured? If you are really a heavenly master, how could you not even see the formation?"
Yan Yue couldn't pretend anymore and had to admit, "Well, I'm just a freeloader and got a little famous by chance. I don't know why King Su wanted to capture me. He wanted me to exorcise the evil spirit. Could it be you?"
Douding's eyes widened in surprise: "Aren't you the last one? How come you are here to exorcise evil spirits?"
Yan Yue was confused: "What last person?"
Douding said, "It comes from the secret method of the foreign monks to prolong life. It is the blood of a hundred young virgins. So far, ninety-nine of them have been collected, and only the last one is missing."
The facts are quite different from Yan Yue's guess.
She thought these monks were also imprisoned here, but she didn't expect that they were actually accomplices!
It is said that Prince Su is the youngest son of the old emperor. Being a son born to a favorite concubine in his old age, he is naturally loved. Later, his brother from the same mother succeeded to the throne and became the new emperor, and his mother became the empress dowager. Therefore, even though he had been cruel since childhood, abusing his servants and killing animals, no one dared to say a word.
Because he had done so many evil things, he began to be harassed by ghosts a few years ago. It was at that time that the foreign monk came to him.
In the name of self-cultivation and praying for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, Prince Su built a temple on this imperial farm, accepted the foreign monk, and recruited more than a hundred monks.
This temple was built to exorcise evil spirits and suppress evil spirits. Every detail is extremely exquisite, and there is also a pagoda to guard the local water and soil, so monsters and evil spirits cannot enter.
Yan Yue was puzzled: "Since the monsters can't get in, how did you get in?"
Douding's round eyes were covered with tears, "I broke in to save someone."
The hedgehog clan are all honest people, and they practice and transform diligently.
Douding was unlucky. When he was catching insects to eat, he hid in the grass. A hunter mistook him for a rabbit and shot him with an arrow, injuring him. The hunter's daughter was a five-year-old girl at the time. She cried while holding him. In order to comfort his daughter, the hunter took him home to treat his injuries.
He had already gained some experience at that time, and wanted to leave as soon as his injuries healed. But the little girl took care of him clumsily all day long, and he couldn't bear it, so he stayed with her for two years.
After returning to the mountains to practice, he would go back to see his little benefactor from time to time. Watching my little benefactor grow up and become more and more pretty, with a straightforward personality and crisp voice, she is so pleasant to the ear.
Until that day, he watched helplessly as the guards of King Su snatched away the prey of his benefactor. The benefactor merely stepped forward to argue a few words, and King Su took a fancy to him and took him away directly.
He transformed ahead of time and chased here, but because of his lack of Taoism, the foreign monk abbot beat him back to his original form and suppressed him under the Taihu stone in the garden.
From Yan Yue's mouth, I learned that nearly three years had passed since he was suppressed here.
During the past three years, he could only get some information in bits and pieces from the people living in the garden.
The foreign monk abbot proposed a plan to King Su, asking him to find a hundred beauties, all of whom must be young virgins. After he injects magic power into her, King Su will drink the beauty's blood, which will allow King Su to gain great fortune and prolong his life.
"Drink blood?" Yan Yue shrank his neck. My blood is precious, I will never let you drink it!
She thought for a moment and asked again, "Will I die if I inject mana?"
Douding snorted coldly and sneered: "What do you mean by injecting magic power? It's just that the foreign monk had sex with an innocent girl to vent his lust! He defiled the girl and drank her blood alive, then burned her corpse and sealed it in a stone box, locked it with a blessed iron chain, and sank it into the pond!"
"That pagoda was built to suppress the wronged souls of those girls!"
Yan Yue felt a chill in her heart. It was hard to believe that such a shocking and terrifying secret method could come from the Buddhist sect that was supposed to save all living beings!
But before she could think any further, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming towards her in the distance.
“Someone is coming!”
Douding instantly returned to its original shape and rolled under the pile of debris in the corner.
Yan Yue was dumbfounded. Where could she, a living being, hide from this ungrateful bald hedgehog? !
Just as he stood up, a foreign monk ran in with his trouser pockets unbuttoned. When he saw Yan Yue, he was so scared that he almost jumped up!
Yan Yue simply took the initiative and questioned the newcomer: "How dare you break into the women's toilet?!"
Then the second and third foreign monks came in, and the first monk fumbled to explain: "This, this toilet does not distinguish between men and women!"
The monk who had led Yan Yue in also arrived and explained to her, "Donor, I have previously reminded you that there is a toilet in the guest room, so you can go to the toilet without leaving the hospital."
Yan Yue pretended to have lost her memory: "Ah? Really? Why don't I remember? So that's how it is. In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye..."
Walking out of the hut covered in dust and dirt, more monks came towards this place. Yan Yue guessed that the chanting had probably ended. She didn't dare to leave because the little kid was still inside. If someone found him, wouldn't all her efforts in the entire afternoon be in vain?
Finally, after the group of people who went to the toilet left, Yan Yue quickly poked her head inside and said, "Dou Ding, there's no one here, come out quickly!"
With a few sparse thorns on its head, Douding ran along the corner of the wall and hid in Yan Yue's sleeve.
Unexpectedly, she had not walked far when she met the foreign monk who led her in.
"Haha...what a coincidence, little master..." Yan Yue greeted awkwardly. She couldn't think of how to explain why she went to the toilet again, so she could only hold her stomach again and said, "Ouch, my stomach suddenly hurts again. I'm going to go to the toilet first! We'll talk about it another day!"
The foreign monk wondered doubtfully: "Again?"
Yan Yue had long forgotten that she had pretended to have a stomachache because it was directed at the little monk in the kitchen. She only knew that they had stayed in the toilet for too long, and the beans in particular were almost pickled.
He asked the foreign monk to prepare hot water, gave the hedgehog a good bath, and then soaked it in the basin.
Douding waved his little paws in protest, but Yan Yue didn't care and washed it thoroughly over and over again before giving up.
The foreign monks brought a more sumptuous meal than the one we had at noon, including two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup.
Yan Yue remembered that the monk had only told her the time for lunch and dinner, and he probably thought that she would not have the chance to have breakfast tomorrow. So she asked pitifully, "Will I have another meal?"
The foreign monk lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Yan Yue took the opportunity to ask: "Can I have another serving of the same thing? I have a big appetite and I want to eat more."
The foreign monk was speechless, and clasped his hands together in a salute: "I'll bring it right over."
Yan Yue smiled instantly: "Thank you!"
