There was a brief silence in the teahouse, with only the kettle on the stove making sound. The other three people's eyes fell on Lu Fan, quietly waiting for his response.
Granny Yun glanced at Xiang Tingna and praised with a smile: "What a pretty girl. She is a perfect match for Mr. Lu. She can be called a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Xiang Tingna's face turned red and she said with some embarrassment: "Mother-in-law, thank you. We haven't been in love for a long time, so we can't say how far we have come."
Granny Yun said: "You don't have to be too modest. It is his blessing that Lu Fan found you. Even if he becomes a lay disciple of Abbot Kongyuan, it will not affect your marriage, so there is no need to worry at all."
"Well..." Xiang Tingna nodded thoughtfully, blushing and said softly: "That's good, you don't have to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, right?"
Abbot Kongyuan said: "Of course, you just need to have kind thoughts. The main thing is to learn various skills. There are even secrets that are not taught in this temple. I can also teach them to Lu Fan. It's no big deal."
Such a generous offer is really exciting. Almost no young martial arts member can refuse it. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they would have been happy.
Lu Fan was an exception. After careful consideration, he said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I appreciate the abbot's kindness, but I'm used to being undisciplined and don't like the feeling of being restrained, so thank you very much."
This move made Grandma Yun stunned, and she said incomprehensibly: "No way, you actually missed such a good opportunity?"
Abbot Kongyuan was also quite surprised, with a look of astonishment on his face, then returned to normal and said magnanimously:
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Since Mr. Lu has no intention of becoming a disciple, I won't force myself. We can discuss the ways of martial arts, which can also be helpful to you."
Lu Fan was originally worried that the other party would be unhappy, but with such an attitude, he felt relaxed and said, "Thank you, Abbot, for understanding. What you said is absolutely true. This junior will inevitably discuss it with you."
"No problem. I'm also proficient in divination and palm reading. If you can trust me, sir, I can show you my palm reading. At least I can predict wealth and marriage, as well as whether your parents will live a long life. You can tell at a glance."
Hearing what the abbot said, Lu Fan stretched out his left hand with great interest, "Then I'll help you, abbot. Please take a look."
Abbot Kongyuan held Lu Fan's wrist and looked at it carefully for a moment, with a surprised look on his face, and said in a serious tone:
"Young Master is very lucky. At least he has inexhaustible wealth now. In the future, he will be even richer than anyone else in the country. It's incredible."
Obviously, the palm reading was very accurate, which made Lu Fan even more excited and said happily:
"Abbott, what you said is serious. This junior does have money that can't be spent in a lifetime, but well, it may not reach the level you said in the future."
"Don't worry, young master, I can see very clearly, and I must be very accurate... However, you have recently been hit by an evil star, and I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster." Abbot Kongyuan said solemnly.
"What?" Lu Fan widened his eyes and said in surprise: "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
"What I said is absolutely true, why don't you still believe it?"
Abbot Kongyuan's face turned gloomy, almost as black as the bottom of a pot, and he suddenly grabbed Lu Fan's pulse gate.
A powerful force surged forward, causing his arm to swell suddenly and make him almost unable to move.
Lu Fan was horrified by the sudden change and asked in surprise: "Abbott, what are you doing?"
I hurriedly tried to break free, but my wrist was as if it was clamped in a vise. I couldn't get what I wanted, and I couldn't help but feel anxious.
I have already guessed that the old guy has a kind face but a dark heart. I am afraid that he has no good intentions, but he does not dare to act rashly and rashly attacks Abbot Kongyuan.
After all, the pulse gate is controlled by others. Abbot Kongyuan only needs to squeeze it hard to make him faint on the spot or even die directly. He is in a very dangerous situation.
Xiang Tingna, who was standing next to her, noticed something was wrong and immediately turned her face and shouted: "Let him go immediately, do you hear me?"
When he flipped his wrist, he revealed a delicate knife, ready to stab the old guy at any time.
Abbot Kongyuan's eyes flashed with anger, and he roared suddenly, displaying a rare lion's roar, which was as scary as thunder.
And it can control the sound within one foot, forming a stronger shock wave, which is deafening.
Grandma Yun had long expected that the abbot would do such a thing and hurriedly covered her ears with her hands to avoid being harmed.
The young and beautiful Xiang Tingna was caught off guard, with a look of horror on her face. She was so shocked that she fainted and even fell unconscious.
Lu Fan was also dizzy, his body swayed suddenly, and he felt something was wrong, and shouted angrily: "What the hell are you doing..."
Even greater misfortune followed. Abbot Kongyuan's right hand turned golden, and he swung it out in an instant. A Buddha's handprint slammed onto Lu Fan's Tianling Cap, making a banging sound.
"Ouch..."
Rapid screams were heard, and Lu Fan rolled his eyes and fell into unconsciousness, lying on the table.
The top of the head was damaged, and blood spread and appeared on the forehead, which was shocking.
Granny Yun next to her looked happy, looked over with gloating, gritted her teeth and cursed: "Little beast, I didn't expect that you would end up like you did today."
Abbot Kongyuan said calmly: "This kid has suffered a skull injury and has turned into a vegetative state. He will never wake up. He can be at your mercy."
"Great! You have to take action personally to deal with him!"
Full of joy, the old woman came to the nearby cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out the bone chopping knife she had prepared, and carried it back.
The light illuminated her head of white hair and her ferocious expression, like an older female butcher, who could scare people.
Seeing her looking like she was about to kill someone, Abbot Kongyuan said in surprise: "Mei Yun, what do you want to do?"
Granny Yun said bitterly: "Of course it's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Under the pressure of the little beast, I had one of my arms broken. My strength was greatly reduced and I almost became a cripple. Now I have to cut off his arm too.
This is considered revenge."
Abbot Kongyuan took a breath of cold air and hurriedly stopped him: "Let's forget it. He has become a cripple and is no different from a walking corpse. Why do you need to do so much?"
Granny Yun snorted: "I'm just so angry. I've been in martial arts for decades, and anyone who dares to provoke him will be harmed by him wantonly. I can't let it go. Brother Yuan, please leave it alone and let me take action."
Abbot Kongyuan said stubbornly: "You must not do it. As a monk, I made an exception just now to punish this son for you. I have already made a mistake. If you cut off his limbs again, it will be an even greater sin."
In this case, Granny Yun had no choice but to give up, put down the knife casually, nodded and said: "Then I will listen to you and stop harming him, and imprison the little beast in a cave. It should be okay."
