C53 Wax Ye Gui Yun (2/2)

Ye Gui did not reply, but gently covered the girl's mouth.

Before night fell, Ye Gui and Mr Lee returned to the city and then split up, returning home.

In the dilapidated hut, the girl started to sob. Ye Gui knew that she was hungry, but since Ye Gui had nothing to eat, he could only scoop a bowl of water from the water jar and feed it to the girl. The girl drank water, and there she could stop the hunger, and she could not stop crying. Tired from the ruckus, he managed to force himself to fall asleep.

Ye Gui had not slept for the entire night and he could still feel the countless shadows of people in the room. However, he no longer minded it as all his attention was on the girl. The girl had woken up many times in one night. She moved somewhere before going back to sleep. It seemed like she had been like this since she was young, constantly hiding at night.

Ye Gui felt his heart ache, as he was unable to think about how he, a poor man, would be able to support this invisible Wu Tong descendant.

On the morning of the second day, the little girl started crying again. Ye Gui quickly carried the little girl and walked to the bridge. The Mr Lee gave Ye Gui a piece of dry food, and Ye Gui got a bowl of water from the winery to make the steamed buns soft. He hid in a place to hide and secretly fed it to the girl.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Gui relied on the Mr Lee's relief for a few days and fed most of it to the girls.

Ye Gui was waiting at the bridgehead for someone to find a cure for his illness. He saw an old monk walking over from afar. Ye Gui immediately became anxious and pulled the little girl behind him. This action was unnecessary in the first place, it was just instinct.

The old monk walked in front of Ye Gui and Ye Gui saw clearly that it was indeed the old monk from Jinshan Temple.

The old monk and Ye Gui looked at each other for a long time before saying, ”Almsgiver is kind, but there are some things that should not be done by you.”

Ye Gui purposely stared blankly, ”I don't understand what Master is saying.”

The old monk continued, ”Wu Tong pestered that family for two years, causing both of them to die.

Ye Gui was unable to refute.

”Two years ago, this woman was seduced by Wu Tong,” the old monk said slowly. ”She was unable to bear the disturbance and was even pregnant.

Ye Gui said: ”Wu Tong is actually no different from an ordinary person.” As soon as he said that, Ye Gui immediately knew that he leaked the message.

”Benefactor can see.”

Ye Gui immediately shook his head.

The old monk continued: ”Wu Tong is invisible and no one can see him, but they are afraid of one thing.”

”Chains,” Ye Gui said, ”I saw how you caught Wu Tong.”

”Wu Tong has been wreaking havoc in Jiangnan for a long time,” the old monk said. My grandmaster fished out a section of iron chain beneath the Yangtze River. The iron chain was made of darksteel, and it had a huge magnetic force that could attract any iron weapon. It could also stick to Wu Tong. In his entire life, my ancestor relied on this profound chain to catch three Wu Tong s. ”

Ye Gui recalled the scene where Wu Tong was attracted by the iron chains and knew that the old monk was not lying, ”So you used a length of iron chain to tie the girl to the bed, afraid that she would elope and run away with Wu Tong?”

The old monk nodded. ”There is no baby in the fishing net.”

Ye Gui said: ”Maybe he took advantage of the chaos to run away.”

”Too young,” said the old monk. ”Not far away, and not back to my mother.”

”Master is a cultivator,” Ye Gui knew that the old monk was suspicious of him, so he spoke bluntly, ”Do you want to kill everyone too?”

”Raising a tiger is a source of trouble,” the old monk did not mind Ye Gui's words, ”A monster, is still a monster.”

Ye Gui ignored him and said to the old monk: ”Master, if you are not looking for me to treat my illness, please go back.”

Mr Lee who was standing at the side suddenly interrupted: ”You really don't know what's good for you, Clan Elder Yun Jian is a famous doctor.”

So this old monk was actually Jinshan Temple's abbot, Yun Jian, and also a doctor.

Yun Jian said to Ye Gui: ”I can teach you medicine.”

Ye Gui said: ”Clan Elder, please go back. I have my own plans.”

Yun Jian stood there for a long time before taking his leave. Before he left, he said to Ye Gui: Wu Tong is an extraordinary person, has Benefactor met such a fortuitous encounter?

”I'm unable to sustain three meals,” Ye Gui laughed and said, ”What fortuitous encounters do you have?”

Yun Jian could only take his leave. Before leaving, he gave Ye Gui a silver ingot, ”We still have our fate to meet again.” Ye Gui kept the silver, he did not know what the old monk meant.

After the old monk left, Mr Lee suddenly turned to Ye Gui and said: ”Why are you wearing a peony embroidered on your clothes?”

It was only then that Ye Gui saw that a large hole had unknowingly appeared on his tattered clothes, revealing the clothes underneath. It was the Four Distinguishing Skeleton of Yin and Yang s that had always been kept at his side.

Under the setting sun, countless cicadas suddenly flew over for no reason. They densely landed on the bridge, and the cicadas' cries rose and fell; it was extremely noisy.

A voice rang beside Ye Gui's ears: ”Below the bridge!”
