515 The Monk (2/2)

”Buddha... If you are truly existent, please let this world become normal!”

The monk sighed. Suddenly, he froze in his steps. ”That is...”

”Pa!”

A man in a windbreaker knocked into him. At that moment, extreme fear filled the monk's heart.

”Amituofo...”

He started to continuously chant his mantra as his hands shivered in fear. ”Such a feeling... It seems as though I had seen the person who had turned Master evil... It is hell! Everyone, including the grandmasters, had done their best. Did it have no effect at all?

According to his Master's revelation just before he died, the monk knew that there was the existence of 'hell' in the realm.

Even his Master could be affected by the demon before turning evil to commit all the wrongdoings.

For that, the few grandmasters who were living in isolation were shocked. They came down the mountain in anger and wanted to seal up this 'hell'.

However, they never returned and the young monk always thought that the new grandmasters had combined forces and were annihilated together with the 'hell'. Never would he have thought that this being would still be in the realm, peering into the souls of humans without restraint!

”This issue... I cannot ignore it! Also... I will have to investigate where my grandmasters ended up!”

The young monk had come to a conclusion for himself and seemed determined.

He came from the Golden Mountain Monastery and was once part of the exorcists. They were only second to the Tantai Family at that time.

However, because of that so-called 'hell', most of the powerful beings of the monastery were wiped out and what was left were a few weak monks.

Until now, he was the only one who was powerful enough to start exploring the outside world!

This was a vengeance for the entire Monastery and he had to avenge all of them!

'Although I do not know where it is, I remember Master telling me that this being has the ability to see through one's weaknesses... Has it arrived here? I need to investigate further!'

The young monk silently chanted a mantra and an invisible palm print landed on the body of the man in the windbreaker.

'Indeed... Our spiritual auras have merely come into contact and I can already feel so much fear...'

He shook his head and did not follow that man. Instead, he stuck to his original plan and arrived at the Ma Paranormal Detective Corporation.

”Amituofo! I wish to see the owner!”

”Eh?”

Ma Wencai was in his pyjamas and a toothbrush stuck out of his mouth. He revealed a disgusted expression. ”We do not give donations here. We do not provide vegetarian food as well!”

”Father! Is that how you treat guests?”

Ma Xiaoling rolled her eyes. ”Master, please take a seat. Have you encountered any troubles?”

”No... I am here to thank all of you for what you've done at the Chen Residences!”

The monk placed his palms together and displayed a look of disappointment as he looked at Ma Wencai. As he examined Ma Xiaoling, he nodded his head. ”A comrade indeed!”

”Comrade? Eh? Are you talking about me?”

Ma Xiaoling pointed to herself.

”Since you have the Yin Yang Eye, you are therefore a comrade. Are you not the one who resolved the issue at the Chen Residences?”

The monk sounded a little confused.

”It's me... and it's also not me! That is resolved by the colleagues here at the corporation, but it's not just me!”

Ma Xiaoling revealed a look of embarrassment. ”I'll help you call for him. Although Yuan has always been lazy and is mostly unwilling to meet strangers, he has become diligent recently. Oh, Master, what do I address you by?”

”Amituofo….. My Buddhist name is Jiese[1]!”

”Pfft!”

Before Ma Xiaoling could react, Ma Wencai spat the water from his mouth before laughing. ”Jie... Jiese? Wahahaha... Why would you have such a name, little monk?”

”Amituofo. Everything is fleeting, so why would a name matter?”

Master Jiese spoke in a serious tone. However, his slightly flushed face showed that he still knew what his name meant.

”Just admit it... you're a lustful monk!”

...

”Jiese?”

In the backyard, Fang Yuan overheard their conversation and felt interested. ”Alright! Just by this name alone, I feel that it's worth to meet this monk!”

He arrived at the living room and met Master Jiese.

Master Jiese was very young. However, his muscles were bulging which showed that he was well-versed in his martial arts. Furthermore, there was a Buddhist vibe lingering around him, which was the rare sign that this person had a true cultivation in Buddhism.

”I am Fang Yuan. Master Jiese, are you here regarding the issue at the Chen Residences?”

”That's right... My Master's mistake resulted in a huge problem. As his disciple, I can only try my best to make up for it...”

Jiese the Monk started to explain what had happened years ago and started to look at Fang Yuan in a different light.

Ever since he had come down from the mountains, he had never come across a person which he was unable to see through.

[1]: Jiese means 'To abstain from lust'
