C160 (1/2)
”No, that's not it! Yes, we …” I decided to wait until the monk had recovered his breath.
”It's us, the Overseers, who are looking for you.”
What, that delivery monk is looking for us? Weren't they in a hostile state just a moment ago? Why were they looking for us now? Could it be that once he knows that the host gave us the illuminating lamp, he felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to return?
”Alright, then let's go back first. Lead the way.”
Honestly speaking, this illuminating lamp is a useful treasure, but it is still someone else's treasure. If the other party really wants to return it, then I will return it without saying anything else. However, I am not so sure about this clever monk, I do not know if he has any ideas on how to make things difficult for us.
Once again entering the Great Xiang State Temple, the little master let us into a remote reception room, Yuan Tong monk is indeed in there. He seemed to be in a hurry and was pacing left and right.
”Ah, we really did get them back. Benefactor, we truly offended you just now. Please sit!” Little Shame, hurry up and bring us some tea! ”
This time, Zhang Ziyuan and I were completely confused. Why did his attitude take a 180 degree turn and was filled with hostility just now? Could they know that we are not people that should be trifled with, and wanted to take back the illuminating lamp s, that's why they came up with this idea?
Actually, if you really want to return the illuminating lamp, you can just say it out. We will return it back to you immediately, no need to act like this, I'm not used to it.
”Ah?” So Master Chair has already sent you all the illuminating lamp? ”
Yuan Tong looked at us in shock, as if he didn't believe us at all. So he didn't know?
Speaking of which, the host probably wouldn't spread the news. After all, it was a hot potato and the more people who knew about it, the worse it would be for us.
But since Yuan Tong didn't know that we had brought illuminating lamp with us, then what exactly did she want to find us for?
”You don't need us to return it to you? Do you want us to come back or do you want to cause us trouble? ”Then please forgive us for not being able to accompany you.”
Yuan Tong had never had a good impression of him. Now, even when I send him a courier message, it would no longer be called Yuan Tong. In the worst case scenario, he might even think of this fat monk.
Ah, since the illuminating lamp s are here, then the Master Chair has already given it to you, and that is yours. I do not have the authority to bring it back, because this thing is not from our temple, and the Master Chair brought it here.
Sigh, so this object does not belong to the Great Xiang Nation temple, and it is also the private property of the Master Chair. No wonder he had the right to lend it to me and gift it to me.
”Then isn't your Master Chair itself a buddhist cultivator at the Great phase of the temple?”
”Yes, the master came here about twenty years ago, and said that foreign monks were good at chanting scriptures. At that time, the master was young and had profound buddhist skills, even our academy master admired him, and he stayed in the Great Xiang State Temple to become this year's academy master.”
The old host did not sound young, but he had buddhist skills at a young age and was carrying treasures like illuminating lamp. Thinking about his mysterious smile, he felt that he really wasn't an ordinary person.
”And then? Since you don't want us to return the goods, then why did you call us back? ”
”Ah, it's like this. Originally, I had eyes that could not recognize Mt. Tai and offended everyone. I truly feel apologetic, so …”
”It's fine, it's fine. Don't feel sorry for yourself. We won't mind. If we were to mind the world that's too old for you, we wouldn't mind it.”
Hehe, I blurted out some words without thinking. After saying it, I realised that there was something different from what I was trying to say. When I saw Yuan Tong's stiff face, I explained once again.
”Cough cough, what I mean is, you really don't need to be like this. If you have anything to say, just say it, and you don't need to hug your thighs …”
didn't seem to think that I was stupid, and had started laughing at the side. The laughter became louder and louder, and he couldn't stop at all, and later on, he asked Zhang Ziyuan why he was smiling at the time. Zhang Ziyuan's answer was, My wife, you are really too adorable!
”Sigh, actually, I really have something to request of you. I really didn't know that you were all such resourceful people. I really thought you guys were scammers. This is what happened. ”
After listening to Monk Yuan Tong's narration, we found out that Kai Feng City seemed to have been a bit unstable recently. A few strange incidents occurred because Da Xiang State Temple could be considered as the famous Baosha Temple in Kai Feng.
Therefore, the few victims found the High Monk of the Great Xiang State Temple, hoping to solve their own problems. However, it was said that the temple had sent many people over, but none of them were able to find anything.
”So you guys knew that I'm a psychic, and just wanted us to go take a look?”
Monk Yuan Tong nodded his head. ”That's right. You can't just take the treasures that the Monastery's headmaster has given us for free. At the very least, you have to give us contribution points, no?”
In fact, what Monk Yuan Tong said seemed to make quite a bit of sense. Using someone's short hand to eat someone else was the shortest. In this case, it was probably inappropriate not to help.
