Chapter 986: Could it be that my brother has been possessed by someone?
Master Duan Chen gathered the three pilgrims in a side hall and let them talk about their own things, and he left them alone.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two donors." Master Duan Chen replied with an apologetic smile, "Normally, I don't use my hands when I receive pilgrims."
"Master is truly a man of character." Meng Jingzhou placed one hand on his chest, admiring Master Duanchen's actions just now.
Master Duan Chen sighed, "In fact, there are quite a few people like the third pilgrim in recent years, and I don't know what happened."
"I don't know what evil has possessed them, but they feel that their wives and children are a bondage, so they abandon them and become monks. After a few months or years, they come to their senses and want to return to secular life. As for the temples far away, as far as I know, these nearby temples have all encountered similar situations."
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Yang thought thoughtfully, feeling that something was wrong.
"Fairy, do you see anything unusual about the third pilgrim?"
The Immortal Fairy used her immortal sense to scan the side hall next door: "He looks fine, a normal person, but he was beaten badly and didn't dare to fight back."
Lu Yang frowned. Was he overthinking?
"What do you think, Lao Meng?"
"Master, good knock."
“…”
The pilgrims received later were much more normal. After all, Master Duan Chen was a great monk who had made great aspirations and had real abilities. Lu Yang and the others watched and learned from him and benefited a lot.
Although the way of enlightenment is to take a bottle, fill it with water and pour it.
But Master Duanchen's words and actions are very appropriate, and he can pull pilgrims into his own steps step by step.
"If you want the other party to believe what you say, the background, lighting, manners, expressions... are all very important." Lu Yang continued to analyze Master Duan Chen to see which aspects he had not yet achieved.
The last pilgrim today surprised Lu Yang a little. She was the little girl who almost bumped into him yesterday. Although her clothes were patched and she came from a poor family, her clothes and face were clean, which made people like her.
According to the little girl's self-introduction, her name is Tang Qiaoqiao, she is fourteen years old, and she has a brother named Tang Chuanwu who depends on her for everything.
"Master, I don't know what's wrong with my brother recently. He seems to have become a different person. He is always suspicious and practices boxing all day long. I don't know where he learned this boxing technique from. I asked my brother what happened, but he wouldn't tell me."
Tang Qiaoqiao thought of the magic methods described in the storytelling, her eyes welled up with tears, she bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Master, do you think my brother has been possessed by someone?"
Master Duan Chen activated the scriptures hanging on the wall to calm Tang Qiaoqiao down, and a kind and convincing smile appeared on her face.
"My dear donor, your brother's actions prove that he is not a person whose body has been taken over. In order to prevent people around him from noticing, a person whose body has been taken over will try his best to maintain his original appearance and will not change his temperament drastically."
"People who possess other bodies are usually accomplished cultivators. They are meticulous and will definitely not reveal any flaws. Even if someone familiar with them comes into contact with them, they will not notice anything unusual."
Unlike Da Xia, which has extremely strict management, people who have taken over other people's bodies can be encountered from time to time in the Buddha Kingdom. Some of them even practice diligently after taking over other people's bodies and become abbots. Master Duan Chen has come into contact with people who have taken over other people's bodies several times and knows the characteristics of this type of people.
Lu Yang nodded. Master Duan Chen was right. When the fairy took over his body, she tried her best to imitate his behavior, although the imitation was hard to describe.
"So what happened to my brother?"
Master Duan Chen held the Buddhist beads in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps you are really in danger. Your brother got the news from some channel and was afraid that you would worry, so he didn't tell you."
Master Duan Chen took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, tied it with a red string, and hung it around Tang Qiaoqiao's neck: "Please keep this talisman. If you are in danger, it can protect you."
"But I have no money." Tang Qiaoqiao looked down at her toes when she said this. She spoke in a low voice, feeling nervous and afraid that Master Duan Chen would throw her out.
"It's okay. If you do more good deeds in the future, you can buy this talisman."
"Ah? Thank you, Master!" Tang Qiaoqiao looked up suddenly.
Master Duanchen put his palms together and chanted the name of the Buddha: "Monks are compassionate. I hope that this little donor will not need this talisman."
Not using talismans means not encountering danger, which is naturally the best situation.
After Kaihuang Temple was closed, Lu Yang secretly followed Tang Qiaoqiao, worried that if Tang Chuanwu was really possessed by another spirit, and the person who possessed him was a fool who didn't know how to disguise himself like the fairy, that would be terrible.
The environment where Tang Qiaoqiao lived was quite bad. It was smelly, houses were crowded together, the roads were winding, there was no planning, and they were built randomly. The sunlight could not even penetrate this place.
"Brother, I'm back." After being enlightened by Master Duan Chen, Tang Qiaoqiao was in a much better mood than usual. When she came back, she even bought some fish bones to make soup.
Tang Chuanwu was shirtless, sweating profusely, with a determined look in his eyes, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, and every movement was quite standard.
"Brother, we don't have to practice martial arts so hard, okay?" Tang Qiaoqiao said with concern.
Tang Chuanwu calmed down and patted his little sister's head lovingly: "Brother can only protect you if he becomes stronger."

"I am safe."
Tang Chuanwu sighed, looking off in the direction he was looking: "It's always a good idea to be more prepared."
"But I heard from the masters of Kaihuang Temple that they drink the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup every day when they practice martial arts to make up for the deficiencies in their bodies. My family can't afford the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. What if you develop health problems from practicing martial arts?"
Their family was poor, so they could only buy fish bones for their brother's health, hoping that they would be of some use.
"It's okay, brother will find a way to make money."
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows in the dark, thinking that Tang Chuanwu's action was familiar: "Long Arm Fist?"
Only the monks from Kaihuang Temple in the nearby cities know this set of boxing skills. How come Tang Chuanwu also knows it? He doesn't look like someone who was a disciple of Kaihuang Temple.
Lu Yang was worried that the person who took over Tang Chuanwu's body was at a higher level than himself, so he rashly used his spiritual sense to investigate and alert the enemy, so he asked the Immortal Fairy to take action.
"It's just a child. There's no sign of possession." said the Immortal Fairy.
Lu Yang touched the three Immortal-Seeking Tokens in his arms again, but there was no movement.
"That's good."
If he wasn't possessed by someone else, then he must have secretly learned the Long Arm Fist. However, such a trivial matter is not worth his concern. As long as the person is fine, that's good.
Before leaving, Lu Yang stopped and secretly left a few golden beans at Tang Chuanwu's house. Tang Qiaoqiao was right. If he continued to practice like this, his body would really have problems and he would need to take a lot of medicine to nourish himself.
Seeing that these two children are precocious, they should know that wealth should not be shown off and will not show off their golden beans.
Just consider it as a good relationship.
Not long after, Tang Chuanwu found a few golden beans on the table and was horrified: "Who is this!"
