Brother Yang has already regarded what he experienced at Side Temple as a dream and left it behind.
The only thing he thinks about now is his daughter.
The stereo of the truck was playing old songs from the 1980s and 1990s. Brother Yang was humming happily, while Yan Shouyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was immersed in a dream.
Speaking of which, Brother Yang had almost never seen Yan Shouyi sleeping with his own eyes. He even doubted whether Yan Shouyi needed to sleep.
However, the sun was shining brightly at this time, which was a good time to take a nap. Seeing Yan Shouyi also fell asleep, Brother Yang's curiosity disappeared.
The weather is so nice today!
Yan Shouyi actually didn't need much sleep, but he was really sleepy in the past two days. This situation was brought about by the evil Buddha.
The inner demons actually used Yan Shouyi's own power to destroy the evil Buddha. However, after the inner demons devoured the evil Buddha, they used the power of the evil Buddha to nourish themselves. What was left for Yan Shouyi was only the evil Buddha's ability to invade other people's bodies.
It’s just skill.
Therefore, Yan Shouyi has been dozing off from time to time in the past two days. He needs to rest to regain his energy.
At the same time, he was constantly trying to become familiar with the evil Buddha's abilities, occasionally controlling birds in the sky, mice on the roadside, and even some cats and dogs.
Because of his experience in controlling the Dharmakaya, Yan Shouyi can now be said to be very good at controlling other animals.
It's just that he hasn't tried controlling people yet, and he's not sure he can control several people at the same time.
At this moment, when he was half asleep and half awake, he could occasionally hear Brother Yang's grunting like a killing pig, which made him sleep very restlessly.
"Expert...Expert..."
At this time, he suddenly heard Ruoyouruowu's call.
Yan Shouyi followed the voice in his dream and returned to Side Temple.
The Four Virtues Temple was still the same as when he left. The difference was that the two young warrior monks were missing. Yan Shouyi saw Abbot Haixin sitting in the temple.
Abbot Haixin sat on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, but with his back to him. There were no Buddhist beads in his hand and no wooden fish beside him. He just sat like that, looking a little decadent.
Yan Shouyi stepped forward curiously and asked: "Abbot Haixin, but you called me?"
Abbot Haixin nodded and smiled at Yan Shouyi: "I haven't properly thanked the master for saving the poor monk from the sea of suffering."
This is a dream.
Yan Shouyi knew very well that he was in a dream.
But why did I see Abbot Haixin in my dream?
He instantly thought of a possibility, and immediately his face became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Are you dead?" Yan Shouyi asked.
Abbot Haixin's expression froze, and then he nodded helplessly.
This is a dead man dreaming.
Yan Shouyi felt extremely angry. He asked Abbot Haixin: "Who killed you? Does Runan have any accomplices?"
At the same time, he felt a sense of self-blame in his heart. In fact, it was best for him to ignore the Dryad Abbot that day, so that he wouldn't have to kill Ru Nan, and Abbot Hai Xin might not have died.
It would be nice if I could stay for two more days.
Abbot Haixin shook his head and comforted Yan Shouyi:
"It is enough for a poor monk to live to this age. His only regret is that he helped the tyrants in his lifetime and did not accumulate enough merit. He might have to go to hell to be tortured in the end."
"Hey, don't mention it!"
"Exalted Master, a poor monk asking for a dream is a waste of merit. The poor monk has something important to say!"
Yan Shouyi showed a serious expression: "What's the matter?"
"After the master left, Zen monk Miaohua from Hanshan Temple came. His purpose seemed to be to find the Buddha statue in Runan's body. The poor monk was unwilling to tell the master's whereabouts, but he still couldn't bear Miaohua's torture.
In the end, I told the truth.”
After Abbot Haixin finished speaking, the self-blame on his face was no less than that of Yan Shouyi.
Yan Shou took a breath and asked, "Miaohua beat you to death in order to torture you about my whereabouts?"
Abbot Haixin remained silent.
"Bastard thing!!!"
Anger burned in his chest, and Yan Shou almost woke up from his dream, but he tried his best to restrain himself and let himself stay in the dream.
Abbot Haixin sighed and said: "It was not the Miaohua that killed the poor monk, but the Buddha in the poor monk's heart. The poor monk has been reciting sutras all his life, but after all he cannot see the world clearly, and finally ended up like this... That’s all, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in this Buddha.”
The Buddha in Hanshan Temple is different from the Buddha in Side Temple.
Yan Shou's eyes softened and he comforted Abbot Haixin and said:
"Abbott, you can go with peace of mind. When I return, I will pay another visit to the Four Virtues Temple and take good care of your two disciples."
Abbot Haixin stood up and bowed deeply to Yan Shouyi: "Thank you to the donor."
After that, his figure drifted away in the wind.
Yan Shouyi also opened his eyes.
"How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake~~ It was because I gave you freedom that I went too far~~ It made you even more lonely~~ That's why you fell into an emotional whirlpool~~~Uh-oh~~"
Brother Yang next to him was still singing loudly, but Yan Shouyi suddenly punched the radio. The radio and Brother Yang fell silent instantly.
Looking at the radio that was deformed and smoking, Brother Yang said bravely: "Xiaolong, what's wrong with you? Are you so angry about the nightmare?"
Yan Shouyi looked gloomy and remained silent.
Brother Yang coughed twice: "What...if you smash the radio, you have to pay for it..."
"After arriving at Jinling, take my two friends and continue northward. If they have money, they will compensate you." Yan Shouyi replied.
"That...that's fine."
After Brother Yang finished speaking, he closed his mouth and did not dare to sing anymore. He was afraid that if he continued to sing, Yan Shou would hit his mouth instead of the radio.
The matter of Abbot Haixin has been weighing on Yan Shouyi's chest for a long time.
He firmly remembered the word "Miaohua".
Hanshan Temple is the sect of Uncle Miaoji and Changshan. Uncle Miaoji and Changshan have such upright character, how could this Miaohua be so despicable!
As a member of the Buddhist sect, he not only killed living beings, but also his fellow sect members, and even more so, Abbot Hai Xin, who was old and had nothing to do with this matter!
Reading the Bible is a waste of time!
If it is difficult to rely on evil Buddhas to go around doing evil, they are not around.
They were not there when the Dryad abbot held the Four Virtues Temple hostage and extorted passing pilgrims.
After I got rid of these two bastards, they appeared.
What a bullshit famous sect, it’s just that those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish!
Yan Shouyi didn't know if he was affected by inner demons, but for a moment, he quite agreed with Li Genmiao's point of view.
No...this kind of thought is not good...
Yan Shouyi took a deep breath.
Get that thought out of your mind.
Although there are scum like Miaohua among the famous sects, there are more good people like Chang Shan, Yu Luming, and Yuan Jianxin.
If you also have such extreme thoughts, then you are really no different from Li Genmiao. When the time comes, you don’t need to struggle and you can just take over Li Genmiao’s role.
He started thinking again.
After all, Miaohua should still be here for me.
Now that he knows my whereabouts, there is a high probability that the road ahead will not be smooth. I must join Uncle Dog and the others as soon as possible and find a way to escape.
