C75 (1/2)

Seeing the woman's eager expression, I didn't pay attention to her commanding words and turned to look at Master Hui Kong.

”Master, you just said, what kind of seal inheritance did I take out, is it this box?” I took out the box and handed it over.

Master Hui Kong also didn't expect that I would hand over the box that I brought with great difficulty to him so confidently. After being startled for a moment, his eyes revealed a trace of praise as he received the box. Actually, I also know that since they said what kind of seal inheritance this is, they would not let me take it away. Since they are unable to take it away, why not hand it over to me?

”Amitabha, that's right. Benefactor Zhang, do you know why this temple is called the Devil Binding Temple?”

”Why?”

”Hundreds of years ago, the demonic cultivator appeared and attracted countless cultivators to attack him. Although he was eventually killed, I did not discover the demonic cultivator's inheritance crystal, but it was a pity that it was very powerful and my cultivation was not high enough. I had no choice but to seal it and set up the temple to protect it.”

”What about the Devil Snake?”

”The serpent demon was originally a demon beast protecting the formation. This humble monk has subdued it and taken it into my temple.”

”Hmph, surrender?” The woman sneered, then said in a stern voice, ”Since you've submitted, why are you still so demonic, harming my sister's life?”

”Amitabha, this humble monk has said that there must be a secret in this matter. Wu Ming also said that he did not want to harm anyone and only wanted to stop them. That man sold your sister out in order to protect himself, causing this tragedy.”

”Your sister, is that Song's wife?”

”Wife? ”It should be said that he's a Daoist companion. That kid surnamed Song, years ago, I noticed that he wasn't very righteous, and somehow tricked my sister. Hmph, I didn't think that he would come to steal the Devil Dao, and after finding out about my sister's death, I went looking for him. However, he seems to be dead, and there's no news of him at all.” The woman's face was filled with rage, causing her pale face to flush.

So back then, the old man surnamed Song did not accidentally discover this place, but deliberately tried to steal the inheritance of the Devil Dao. The Snake Demon also did not want to kill him, but he did not know that he used his wife as a shield. He told me to retrieve his wife's corpse and that the box contained a trace of essence energy. Naturally, he knew that I couldn't break the seal on the box, but a mere mortal like him had a way. Once he inherited the Devil Dao technique, he would kill me.

”I can bring you to him, but you have to listen to me along the way. Otherwise, even if you kill him, you might not be able to understand the truth!”

The woman hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and nodding.

”Amitabha, the two benefactors can rest here for the night. We will set off tomorrow. Enlighten yourself, prepare a room.”

”Hmph, even if the Devil Snake wasn't intentional, it could still be considered to be the murderer of my sister. When I find out the truth, I will find it and settle this score!” After he finished speaking, he turned around and followed Wu Xin to the other room.

”Amitabha, what a sin, is it not fate!”

Master Hui Kong shook his head and turned around to leave as well.

I sat for a while, and the young monk named Wu Xin came back and took me to the other side of the room.

”There's only two monks in this temple, you and Master Hui Kong?”

”Huh?” The young monk stared blankly for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head, ”No no no, there's still senior Wu Ming.”

”Oh? ”Wu Ming, isn't that the snake demon?”

The young monk named Enlightened Mind was startled when he heard this. He turned his head and put his hands together before saying in a serious tone, ”Demon or demon, after entering an empty door, they are all Buddha's descendants. In his previous life, he was nothing more than a floating cloud.”

Looking at the solemn expression on his young face, I couldn't help but laugh. ”Good, good. Young master is already so enlightened at such a young age. In the future, your achievements are not inferior to your master's.”

”Hehe …” When Enlightened Mind heard me praise him, his face showed a hint of embarrassment. He scratched his head. However, he was clearly overjoyed.

”Are you not afraid of your senior brother?”

”Amitabha, although senior is a snake demon, he is kind-hearted and wholehearted. His heart is devoted to Buddha, and he likes senior very much.”

”Yes.” Seeing that we had arrived at the room, I nodded. ”If that's the case, I'll rest. I'll have to trouble Young Master.”

”Amitabha, Almsgiver should rest early.”

The night passed in silence, but just as the sky started to brighten, the girl knocked on the door, saying that they should leave earlier. I didn't like her attitude, but since she did it for her sister, I decided to have her.

We didn't say goodbye to Master Hui Kong, who was doing morning lessons, but with a master like him, our departure couldn't be hidden from him.

I didn't want to know more. Although I saw that she was anxious, I couldn't help but to be slow, so I didn't care too much about it and just followed beside her, accommodating her speed.

Three days in a row, we were all on the road. Seeing that she didn't have any intention of stopping to rest, I frowned slightly.
