Chapter 24 Chapter 24 [Catching Bugs]
Yuan Tian seemed a little absent-minded throughout the day. Xiao Jing thought his boss was boring, so he just went out to play by himself.
This made Tang Yang in the next bed a little worried, but every time he asked about it, the child always hesitated to speak. Tang Yang had no choice but to think that he was emo because of illness.
Thinking that the child really likes snacks, he specially asked his assistant to order some takeout food and drinks. But unexpectedly, facing the snacks that filled the table, the child seemed even sadder.
Seeing him holding milk tea with a melancholy look on his face, Tang Yang couldn't help but said, "How about I go out for a walk with you?"
Yuan Tian looked up at him and took another sip of milk tea. The tea taste was a bit strong. He said sullenly, "No, I don't want to move."
"Then what happened to you?" Tang Yang said softly, "Tell me so I can help you."
I still want to help him at this time...
Yuan Tian was deeply moved. Looking at Tang Yang's sincere face, she finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Tang, I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry for letting you fall in love with the wrong person.
Tang Yang was even more puzzled, wondering why he was apologizing out of the blue.
Is he still thinking about what happened last night? That shouldn't be the case. The kid had already apologized to him last night and even let him win two rounds of Landlord.
After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "Are you thinking about your master's matter? What's the matter with that debt? Why don't you tell me about it and I'll see if I can use the law to help you get out of it?"
When the Buddhist concept of emptiness was mentioned, something flashed through Yuan Tian's mind, but he couldn't grasp it. He murmured, "I seem to have forgotten something..."
Tang Yang didn't hear clearly: "Hmm?"
"No," Yuan Tian sighed, and finally started chatting with him in a low voice.
"This matter cannot be resolved by law." Yuan Tian smiled bitterly, "That is the debt owed by my master. For some reason, he borrowed a lot of valuable items from various Taoist temples that he was friendly with, and he also wrote IOUs."
"Later, he passed away and his belongings disappeared. So those Taoist temples asked us to pay them back in cash."
Tang Yang frowned: "But what does this have to do with you? You are just your master's apprentice, not his son. Besides, since you are asking for money from Kongmen Temple, why did Cong Shu say that?"
Whoever can get money from Yang An, that is, Yuan Tian, will be the hero of Sande Temple. In fact, shouldn't this "Yang An" be replaced by "Kongmen Temple"?
Yuan Tian looked sad and sighed, "My master is so unfilial!"
The master is unfilial... Tang Yang's eyes twitched slightly. How much resentment must this have!
The child's voice was more resentful than Xiao Jing's, like a ghost: "When he owed a debt, he used me as a guarantor... If he can't pay it back, I will have to inherit the debt..."
Tang Yang endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but said: "...Then he is indeed quite unfilial."
"Is that so?" Yuan Tian looked up at him with a sad face and said bitterly, "My unfilial master has made me afraid to return home and I can only wander around."
Tang Yang thought for a moment and said, "But if your creditors can't find you, won't they ask Kongmen Temple for money?"
"So our Taoist temple is also looking for me." Yuan Tian took another sip of milk tea, burped a little, and then said faintly: "They want to capture me and let me take responsibility."
Responsible? How can you be responsible for such a thing! Tang Yang looked at him with some distress, thinking to himself that he might as well send the child abroad for a while. If he was caught by his master, he would have to be handed over to pay the debt to the heaven!
Even if they didn't offer sacrifices to the gods, they would probably be sold or beaten up! Tang Yang had already imagined the scene of a child being tied up and thrown into a pack of wolves, helpless and pitiful.
He couldn't help but comfort the child softly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you."
Yuan Tian was moved. It turned out that Brother Tang had deep feelings for him. Not only was he not scared off by his debt, he even wanted to protect him.
Unfortunately, I am destined to let him down...
Thinking of this, he picked up a piece of cake and ate it sadly.
You know what, although it’s sad, these things are really delicious!
Tang Yang wanted to ask more questions and try to come up with a solution for the child, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a knock on the ward door.
Who's coming again?
He frowned and went over to open the door impatiently.
Outside the door, a young man wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with a pretty face and freckles on his face, looked at him coldly, curled his lips, and said unkindly: "I'm looking for Yuan Tian."
Tang Yang slammed the door shut, turned his back and used his body to hold the door shut, and quickly shouted to Yuan Tian, "Ah Yuan, run! There's a Taoist priest outside, dressed like Taoist Master Yunzhi, he's from your Kongmen Temple!"
Yuan Tian: “…Fuck!”
He just said he forgot something, and that bastard Cong Shu sold him out!
No wonder he apologized before leaving, so that's why...
I will beat him into a pig's head next time we meet! After thinking about it, Yuan Tian smiled at Tang Yang with a pale face: "Forget it, Brother Tang, let him in, this day will come sooner or later."
Seeing his pale and bitter smile, Tang Yang couldn't help feeling depressed. He pursed his lips and finally gave way.
The person outside the door turned the doorknob, pushed the door open and walked in.
Tang Yang walked quickly to Yuan Tian's side, staring at the Taoist priest vigilantly. His hands were not idle either, he had already dialed 110. If this person was unreasonable and violent, he would call the police directly. There was no reason for him to watch his future brother-in-law being forcibly abducted under his nose!
The Taoist priest walked to Yuan Tian's bed with a menacing and ill-intentioned manner, and suddenly bent his waist and bowed: "Hello, Uncle Master Yang An!"
The voice was so loud and the back was bent so respectfully.
Tang Yang was stunned. Where is the wanted notice?
Yuan Tian said calmly: "What's the matter?"
The Taoist straightened up and said respectfully, "I follow the order of the headmaster to ask you to return to the empty temple."
Yuan Tian smiled bitterly: "You know how much the leader hates me... Can't you just let me go and pretend you didn't find me?"
The Taoist shook his head and said seriously, "Uncle Master, you don't know that we have an unwritten rule in Kongmen Temple recently. Whoever can capture you, Master, will be the hero of our temple, and the headmaster will reward him with a new mobile phone."
Tang Yang looked at Yuan Tian with a confused face, feeling that these words sounded familiar.
As soon as the phone came out, Yuan Tian knew he had lost. He paused for a moment, then finally sighed, "Well, let's go back."
"A Yuan!" Tang Yang shook his head in disapproval. He said that the head of Kongmen Temple hated him, so he would be in great danger if he went back!
"You can avoid the first day, but you can't avoid the fifteenth." Yuan Tian's eyes were painful, and he said with difficulty, "It's just right, I also want to go back to do something."
He looked at Tang Yang and asked, "Brother Tang, are you willing to go back to Kongguan with me for two days? I would like to ask our brothers with rich experience in the temple to take a look at the strange things happening to you."
Tang Yang said without hesitation: "Okay."
Even if Yuan Tian didn't mention it, he would find a way to follow. He couldn't just watch Yuan Yang fall into the tiger's mouth and do nothing. Whether from the perspective of a friend or from the perspective of a brother-in-law, it was the same.
With him present, at least he can help call the police at any time.
Seeing that he agreed, Yuan Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought about helping Tang Yang figure out what the energy in him was, and the amulet was gone. He didn't know if Tang Yang's body and soul would change after losing it, and whether it would attract ghosts to attack or possess him.
People have deep feelings for him and he saved his life, so Yuan Tian said he would not leave him alone no matter what.
The Taoist priest on the side watched the interaction between the two, and heard Tang Yang calling his uncle "A Yuan", with some surprise and suspicion in his eyes.
One left and two returned. Has his uncle become successful? !
They can't just go back whenever they want. Tang Yang has to arrange company matters overnight, and Yuan Tian also wants to get back the hospital fees she has already paid.
It was hard for the young Taoist priest. He had to sleep on the floor of the ward quietly for fear that Yuan Tian would regret and run away. During this time, he was almost mistaken by the nurse who was checking on him as someone who had run away from the mental hospital next door. Who would run around in a Taoist robe for no reason?
The Taoist priest felt so miserable that he ran over as soon as he received the message and didn't even have time to change into ordinary clothes.
The next morning, Yuan Tian took his luggage, Xiao Jing, and Tang Yang and got into his nephew's car.
When the young Taoist saw Xiao Jing, he almost chopped the little ghost to death. If Yuan Tian hadn't been quick, Xiao Jing would have been scared to death.
Then, when he learned that Xiao Jing was a ghost adopted by his uncle, the young Taoist found it even more mysterious.
Does this count as one person leaving and three returning?
How should he tell his fellow disciples that their uncle had made a big mistake?
On the way, Tang Yang learned that the young Taoist priest was younger than Yuan Tian, and was of the Yun generation, with the Taoist name Yun Que. Hearing this name, Tang Yang couldn't help but look at the freckles on Yun Que's face, thinking to himself, does the Kongmen Temple have to be named according to its characteristics?
If that's the case, then his Yuan shouldn't be called Yang An, but Yang Guang. It's so beautiful that it looks like it's glowing, isn't it?
Yuan Tian had no idea of the twists and turns in his mind, and he seemed worried all the way.
It was not until late in the evening that the car arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the conspicuous and majestic Taoist temple halfway up the mountain, Yuan Tian couldn't help but whisper to Tang Yang: "Brother Tang, remember what I'm going to say next."
His voice was heavy: "I may not be able to come out this time. If that really happens, you can take Xiao Jing down the mountain by yourself. If you encounter any supernatural events in the future, you can still look for the Kongmen Temple. I also have a few good brothers in the temple, you can tell me my name when the time comes."
Tang Yang blurted out: "Discount?"
Yuan Tian's breath was choked, and he said tactfully: "Beat me, break my bones, you can choose any part."
Tang Yang: “…………” Blame it on him, he spoke too quickly.
"You... take care of yourself!" the child continued solemnly, "Find a good partner, male or female, and live a good life. I will pray for you from afar."
These words sounded like a last will, and Tang Yang felt a little sad. Even though he knew that returning would be dangerous, the child still made plans for him?
He was somewhat moved and somewhat sad, and whispered with a hint of pleading, "How about we not go, okay? I think your nephew is not very good at fighting, let's join forces to beat him up, and then I'll send you abroad, ok?"
Taoist Yun Que in the driver's seat: “…………” Damn, I’m listening!
"It's too late." Yuan Tian looked painful and said sadly: "Brother Tang, forget me, it's fine, ah!"
"What are you forgetting? How could I possibly forget? We've been through life and death together so many times. Tell me... I'm telling you, I don't agree! Let's knock Yun Que unconscious right now and then run away!"
Xiao Jing also popped his head out from the luggage: "And me, I can fight too, Boss! We're not afraid of him!"
"Forget it, it's too late... Just listen to me, everything will be fine..."
I always feel that these two are talking about different things. Looking at the uncle and his suspected lover who were performing a life-and-death separation in the back seat, as well as the little kid who was trying to join in the fun, Yun just wanted to take out a cigarette.
He wanted to be quiet.
