Chapter 68 Karma
The black shadow yelled at him: "Silly man! Come and save me! Cut off your skin and give it to me, or use this person, use this person's..."
The chef glanced at him, said nothing, and walked past him.
I didn't realize what was going on for a moment, but the cook had already arrived in front of the young monk.
The little monk happened to get the Night Pearl at this time.
I couldn't believe it, so I hurried forward, but I wasn't as quick as the arrogant chef.
He picked up the young monk and snatched the luminous pearl in his hand. He was about to chop off the kitchen knife in his other hand.
Suddenly, a faint light of fire emitted from the little monk's body, and he was burned. It was the evil-proof talisman I gave to the little monk before!
At this time I had jumped down and was only one step away from him.
He quickly threw away the young monk, jumped onto the wall, then jumped out and ran away.
The luminous pearl was missing from the pool, and the resentment inside immediately surged out from the vacated hole, but it all disappeared within a moment.
And the dark shadow inside has now revealed his true face.
He looked exactly like a person whose skin had been peeled off.
And in his heart, the spider-like worm began to crawl around, turning everything it passed into pus.
"Ah! Help...I...help!"
Although he deserved it, I saw that the scream was really miserable, and finally I couldn't bear it, so I was ready to jump down and help him get rid of the poison.
But the little monk stretched out his hand to stop me.
I looked at him blankly.
He clasped his hands together and bowed to me: "Donor, please don't interfere. This is the retribution that the host should bear. I know that he has killed many people over the years, just to prevent the Gu insects from killing him.
Being devoured by Gu insects is also his retribution."
I nodded. I didn't expect that although this young monk was kind, he could understand things so clearly, which was rare.
In the end, he didn't struggle for long before he died in the pool. The pool was filled with his scattered flesh, blood, and bones, which looked a little disgusting. The Gu insects also lost nutrients with his death and died.
Because their grievances had dissipated and the controlled ghosts had returned to normal, they who were originally unable to reincarnate listened to the little monk's explanation about the ghost temple and agreed to stay, hoping to gain a chance to be reincarnated.
And the young monk naturally became the abbot of the temple.
"Donor, you are a rare person who can go back after your second visit to this place. To express your gratitude... please take this."
The little monk took out a luminous pearl from his arms.
I was a little surprised. This luminous pearl looked exactly the same as the one in the pool before!
"This is……"
Seeing my expression, the young monk smiled and said, "Donor, this is the luminous pearl just now. I have actually discovered something fishy in it a long time ago, so I found one in advance that can be mistaken for the real one. After I took it down just now, I hid it in the
It was on my body, but the other one was taken away."
I exclaimed: "I didn't realize it at all...your technique is really professional."
He smiled awkwardly and lowered his head in shame: "Alas... Actually, I lied to you before. I have no parents at all and am an orphan. The reason why I came to this temple is that in order to survive, I stole other people's things and was raped by others.
I almost lost my life after being chased and beaten, so I didn't dare to go out. I didn't tell you before... I was afraid you wouldn't believe me."
I looked at him and realized that my childhood was already miserable, and I couldn't think of anything more miserable.
I said softly: "It is a good thing to know your mistakes and correct them. I hope you will understand them soon."
He nodded, then handed me the Night Pearl and sent me out of the temple.
When I walked out of the temple, there was a car at the door.
I rubbed my eyes and was surprised: "Li Shun? Didn't you leave?"
Li Shun waved to me in the car: "How dare I leave? Master, haven't you come out yet?"
There was no expression on my face, but I was actually in a good mood. I originally thought that this guy had run away, but now someone was taking me home.
This good mood only lasted until I got in the car.
I just closed the car door and he locked it.
I looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Li Shun still had that calm expression: "It's nothing. Do you remember what you said when you took refuge in my Taoist temple?"
I thought about it but didn't remember it.
He smiled: "It doesn't matter. From now on, master, you have to play your role. The Li family needs your help."
I breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh... that's no big deal. How come it's so mysterious?"
I looked out the car window. This was not a normal route to the city. He was taking me to a more remote place.
But he smiled: "Ha, it's no big deal... Do you think the Li family is the same level of aristocratic family you met before? Anyone else would have been knocked unconscious and sent over with a hood. If it weren't for you being my master
, you are no exception."
I don't believe it.
In my eyes, although Li Shun has a very high status, he never puts on airs with me. If it weren't for the respectful attitude of others towards him, I would never have thought of the huge family behind him.
I just think he is a senior who is quick to escape and handles things well.
"Okay, so what problem did you encounter this time, that even a person like me, who has no name, can use it?"
Li Shun shook his head: "You are not famous... Many people have tried this matter. You are recommended by Mrs. Sun and Li Yuan. You are the last one of us who has expectations. If it is solved..."
He didn't say anything else, just smiled faintly.
For the first time, I felt that I couldn't see through this guy.
I didn’t know how long we had been walking, and I even suspected that Li Shun had made several detours on purpose, driving from noon until the afternoon before he stopped.
"Master, we are almost there, please don't sleep."
He tapped my shoulder to wake me up.
Although I saved a lot of energy by meditating last night, I still didn't sleep all night and was drooling while sleeping.
When I woke up and saw this gate at the foot of the mountain, I was stunned for a moment: "What? Didn't you say you were going to Li's house? Why did you come to the park to climb the mountain?"
"Oh, this is the Li family, and this mountain is our home."
I was yawning at first, but after hearing this I almost screamed like a pig: What did you say? This place?"
I looked out the window again.
This hilltop is in an excellent location, surrounded by water and green mountains, surrounded by dragon veins. It occupies a place where spiritual energy is at its peak. In ancient times, it would have been either the emperor's residence or the residence of important ministers.
Moreover, there is even a trace of auspiciousness on the top of the mountain here, which seems to be a place where incense has lasted for a long time.
No matter which Taoist sect this is, I believe it!
