#253 - It's up to you

"Grandpa!"

Wei Changtian's shout was full of vigor and seemed perfectly natural, but it completely bewildered Huian.

Before he could figure out who Wei Changtian's grandfather was, the door to the outer room swung open, and a figure stood before him.

"Huian, do you still remember who this old man is?!"

"You..."

Huian's eyes snapped open, and he instantly recognized the black-clad old man before him.

"Qin Zhengqiu!"

"It seems your memory isn't too bad."

Qin Zhengqiu glared at Huian with an unfriendly expression, then turned to Wei Changtian.

"Changtian, did you fail to reach an agreement with this bald donkey?"

"No."

Wei Changtian calmly shook his head: "Grandpa, this old monk is too ungrateful. I'm planning to slaughter the Lotus Monastery."

"Hahaha! Good!"

Qin Zhengqiu laughed loudly twice: "Changtian, but these bald donkeys do have some skills. In my opinion, why don't we kill our way back and forth through the temple a few times, then leave first, and come back when they least expect it."

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea either..."

Wei Changtian nodded: "I doubt they can stop us."

"Don't worry, grandson. With me here, can't we come and go as we please in this small Lotus Monastery?"

"That's good, then let's kill a little less today."

"Indeed!"

"."

Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu sang in harmony, starting to discuss how to "slaughter" the Lotus Monastery as if no one else was there.

Huian, listening to their discussion, naturally could no longer maintain his composure.

As the abbot of the Lotus Monastery, he usually associated with prominent figures from reputable sects. He had never dealt with a top-tier "rascal" like Wei Changtian.

Suddenly demanding the supreme treasure of my Buddhist sect, and threatening to slaughter the temple if he doesn't get it... What's the difference between this and those vicious mountain bandits?

More importantly, he really can't do anything about them!

Huian knew that his strength was no match for Qin Zhengqiu. Although there were still five Rank 3 monks in the Lotus Monastery, if the latter really played dirty and launched a sneak attack, he wouldn't have any good way to respond.

Moreover, Wei Changtian also had the Embroidered Envoy behind him...

"You, you!"

"Whoosh!" Huian stood up abruptly, so angry that he no longer had the demeanor of a holy monk, pointing at Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu, unable to speak for a long time.

"Old monk, you can't blame me for this."

Wei Changtian turned back, his words even more unreasonable.

"I don't want to kill people at every turn, but you're unwilling to discuss it properly, so I can only go on a killing spree."

"As long as I slowly kill all the people in your Lotus Monastery, wouldn't the Kasaya of the Golden Cicada naturally be mine?"

"When the time comes, not only the Kasaya of the Golden Cicada, but also the other treasures in this Lotus Monastery..."

"Qin Zhengqiu!"

Stimulated by the two of them in turn, Huian finally couldn't bear it anymore and sternly questioned: "I thought you were also the leader of a sect, how can you say such things so calmly?!"

"What's wrong?"

Qin Zhengqiu sneered: "At least I never hide it, and I won't look for those high-sounding excuses."

"Aren't you reputable sects the same? Coveting my Heavenly Net Skill, you've come to snatch it time and time again, and you even have to put the label of a Demonic Sect on the Heavenly Net Sect..."

"My Lotus Monastery has never participated in this matter!"

Huian hurriedly corrected him, but Qin Zhengqiu didn't care at all.

"I don't care whether I have a grudge against you or not, anyway, now my grandson has taken a fancy to your treasures. If you don't give them to me, I'll just take them, unless you can beat me."

"."

It's impossible to reason with a soldier.

This saying probably describes the current situation.

No matter how much great wisdom Huian has, and how many profound Buddhist principles he has seen through, they are all useless at this time.

Because these two people on the opposite side are not in the ranks of those who can be "converted" at all.

"I..."

Huian took a breath weakly, and after a long time, he finally sighed helplessly to the sky:

"Amitabha..."

"This poor monk will give it! Isn't it okay to give it?!"

【Kasaya of the Golden Cicada: Armor (Earth), invulnerable to knives and spears, avoids water and fire, can defend against all evils, 300 points】

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian had already obtained a kasaya with golden patterns as he wished.

It just so happened that the inner armor he had obtained from the Zhang Mansion was no longer able to meet his needs, and this defensive treasure could be said to have come just in time.

Happily putting away the kasaya, this trip to the Lotus Monastery can be considered a complete success.

Oh, and there's also a side issue.

"Miss You..."

Outside the house, Huian was "sincerely" apologizing to You Jia.

"Jingyuan is a monk abandoned by my Buddhist sect. Knowing that he was practicing evil techniques, this poor monk should have killed him as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to make such a big mistake because of a moment of softheartedness."

"This poor monk apologizes to the girl, and I hope the girl doesn't blame me..."

"."

A gentle breeze blew, and the golden sun shone overhead.

Looking at Huian, who was humbly apologizing to her, You Jia turned her gaze to Wei Changtian, and her heart couldn't help but be moved.

She actually didn't resent Jingyuan in the first place, let alone Huian.

But...

Ning Yongnian took the initiative to send her into the "tiger's" mouth, but the young master made a big fuss in the Lotus Monastery just to get an explanation for her.

When You Jia once again felt what it was like to be valued, she naturally became even more devoted to Wei Changtian.

"Abbot Huian, you don't have to be like this..."

"Since the grievances between the two families have now been resolved, then let this matter be over."

Grievances resolved...

Huian was choked with anger again when he heard this, but he still forced himself to nod.

"Amitabha, what the girl said is true..."

"Alright."

On the other side, Wei Changtian saw that the two of them had been polite enough, so he prepared to leave.

"Abbot, since Miss You has already forgiven you, then we won't bother you any longer. We'll see you again if we have the chance."

"Hmm..."

Looking at the smug Wei Changtian, Huian, who was feeling aggrieved in his heart, wanted to take back some advantage verbally, but he was afraid that the former wouldn't understand if he said it too profoundly, so after holding it back for a long time, he only blurted out one sentence.

"Young Master Wei, good and evil have their consequences, and blessings and misfortunes are interdependent. There is a definite number in the dark... I hope you take care of yourself."

"Hahahaha!"

Wei Changtian laughed loudly, and only waved his hand in the face of Huian's "curse."

"Abbot, everything depends on human effort."

Another quarter of an hour.

Lotus Monastery, Great Buddha Hall.

Two figures, one large and one small, respectfully bowed three times to the last Buddha statue.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

The little boy didn't know how many times he had pleaded like this, but the woman still insisted on throwing the last three copper coins in her purse into the donation box.

"Please bless the Buddha, bless the Buddha..."

The woman piously put her palms together and muttered for a long time, then picked up the bamboo basket beside her and prepared to go down the mountain and go home.

But just at this moment.

"This, this is..."

Silver fragments the size of fingernails sparkled in the sunlight. The woman tremblingly picked up the silver fragments, and after a long time, she suddenly excitedly pulled the little boy and knelt down again in front of the Buddha statue.

"The Buddha is showing his spirit, the Buddha is showing his spirit!"
