Chapter 370
The two finally reconciled, and the relationship seemed to have dropped to freezing point again, and Ming Yan never appeared again after that night.
Mingran felt guilty, but he didn't know how to tell Ming Yan, if he apologized, it should hurt her even more!
Moreover, he clearly felt that there was a trace of undeserved feelings in his heart, and he was very afraid, because of this, he was even more afraid of seeing Ming Yan.
The abbot seemed to notice something, and he no longer asked Ming Ran to guard the Changming Hall, but let him follow him and practice Buddhism.
In this way, it is even more impossible for Ming Ran to see Ming Yan, and he is relieved in his heart, but he is still a little uncomfortable.
After Ming Yan disappeared for a few days, he finally couldn't help it again and came back to find Ming Ran. This time, she thought it through, and she wanted to tell Ming Ran clearly what she wanted.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident during this period, and one night, a young monk who kept vigil in the temple was killed.
When everyone found him the next day, his body was hanging on the peach blossom tree with bloody flesh and blood, and his blood-stained intestines were exposed, and he was still swinging there.
This incident shocked the entire Wuling City, and after the people of the Yamen came to see it, they said that they were bitten to death by a fierce beast, after all, people can't do this kind of harm.
Everyone was convinced by this explanation, and those who had seen it said that the wound had been torn out by force, and that what could it be but a beast?
Ming Ran also looked at the corpse, but he didn't believe the explanation given by the yamen, he felt that it was more like a monster.
What's even more coincidental is that he actually picked up half of the jade under the tree where the corpse was hung, which was the piece he won for Ming Yan during the Lantern Festival that day.
Frightened, he hurriedly withdrew the jade from his sleeve and left the scene strong and composed.
The jade in his sleeve was cold, just like his cold heart, he couldn't believe that it was made of Ming Yan, but how could this jade be explained.
When his thoughts were confused, Ming Yan actually came to him again. Ming Yan came to show him his intentions, but Ming Ran's eyes made her feel cold.
Ming Yan thought about it for a long time, but decided to confess to Ming Ran, otherwise, she would regret it, even if Ming Ran refused to ignore her again, she didn't want to miss it.
"Little monk, I came today to tell you something, in fact, I ...... you"
Before Ming Yan could say the most important sentence, Ming Ran raised his hand to stop her, and Ming Yan was stunned for a moment.
"I also have something to ask you, is this yours?"
Ming Ran handed over half of the jade, and after Ming Yan looked at it, he laughed out loud and said:
"So it's you! If you like it, say it early, and deliberately refuse me that day. If you had a good time, we wouldn't have been so angry for so long!"
"One of my junior brothers was killed, and this one I picked up next to the corpse. ”
Ming Yan's face changed instantly, she frowned, and asked:
"What do you mean by that, you suspect that I killed him. ”
"I want to believe you, but I can't find a reason. ”
"If you don't believe, you don't believe, what excuse do you make. ”
Mingyan's emotions suddenly got out of control, she yelled at Mingran, and her eyes turned red instantly.
"I just want an answer. ”
"What answer do you want? If I say it's not me, will you believe it?"
"I believe, as long as you say, I believe. ”
Mingran looked at Mingyan with extremely serious eyes, but Mingyan still smiled sadly, she took a few steps back, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Obviously, even if you say you believe me, I know that you still don't believe me in your heart. "Otherwise, you don't need me to say anything at all, you will believe me in the first place, instead of questioning me like you are now." ”
As she spoke, Mingyan's tears slid down, she cried for the second time, the first time she cried, or when the demon queen died.
Seeing Ming Yan crying, Ming Ran panicked instantly, he stood up and wanted to reach out to Ming Yan, wanting to wipe away her tears, but his hand was halfway up and then put it down again.
His actions like this undoubtedly made Ming Yan even more sad, Ming Yan looked at him and cried and said:
"I'm here today to tell you that I like you, I've liked you a long time ago, and I don't want to play dumb with you anymore. ”
Ming Ran's eyes widened as he looked at Ming Yan, piercing the layer of camouflaged paper, and everything spread out in front of him, leaving him at a loss.
He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Mingyan, Mingyan cried even more sadly, she said in a hoarse voice:
"I know my heart very well, and I just want to ask you what you mean by me. ”
"I ...... I...... Mingyan, I'm sorry ......"
A short sentence instantly knocked Ming Yan's heart down, her face turned pale, and her eyes looked at Ming Ran with sadness.
Ming Ran also had a painful look on his face, and he was just about to say something, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and the abbot appeared at the door with a few senior brothers.
Ming Ran looked at the abbot who appeared in a panic, the abbot's face was gloomy and he didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Ming Yan on the side, and shouted:
"Bold and demonic, dare to be presumptuous in the Buddha's Gate, today, the old man accepted you on behalf of my Buddha. ”
"Old bald donkey, do you think you can hurt me?"
Mingyan's expression instantly became hideous, her gentleness was only shown to Mingran, if anyone was her enemy, she would not give up easily.
The old abbot shouted and took his life, flew forward and fought with Ming Yan, and several senior brothers were waiting on the side, holding weapons in their hands, ready to help the abbot at any time.
Mingran shouted to stop, wanting to step forward to stop them, but was caught by the senior brother and blocked his voice.
The old abbot wandered in the rivers and lakes in his early years, got an opportunity, learned the skills of subduing demons and subduing demons, and later became the abbot of the temple.
Although Ming Yan is a saintess of the Demon Realm, due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, her mana can only be used for three-tenths of the original in the world.
In this way, she and the old abbot were on a par. The old abbot saw that it was difficult for him to subdue Ming Yan, so he motioned for his disciples to come forward to help.
The abbot's disciples have already prepared a magic circle outside, no matter what demons and monsters, they can be subdued, not to mention that Ming Yan only has thirty percent of his mana.
The old abbot and his disciples attacked Ming Yan together, Ming Yan was forced to retreat step by step, and seeing that he was about to be forced into the magic circle, Ming Yan was anxious, and his attack became ruthless.
Her nails instantly became sharp, and she grabbed the nearest monk in front of her, as long as she pushed a little harder, this monk would die.
Seeing the great change in his face, he shouted in horror:
"Mingyan, don't!"
Ming Yan was stunned for a moment, his hand unconsciously loosened, and as a result, the old abbot saw the opportunity and slapped it with a palm, and a golden Buddha horn hit Ming Yan's chest.
Ming Yan screamed miserably, his body was directly knocked away, and finally fell in the center of the circle, and Ming Yan spurted out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled it on the circle.
The old abbot recited the Buddha's name aloud, and the magic circle instantly emitted a brilliant golden light, turning into a cage to lock the smoke.
When Mingyan heard the sound of the Buddha's horn, he suddenly had a splitting headache, covered his head and wailed in pain on the ground, and Mingran's heart was in pain.
Kneeling down and begging the old abbot to say:
"Master, please let her go! Although she is a demon, she has not hurt anyone, and she did not do the death of her junior brother. ”
The abbot's face was gloomy and unmoved, he pulled it up and said:
"Disciple, don't be fooled by this banshee, if she kills someone, how can she tell you. Have you forgotten all the things I taught you in the past?"
"I haven't forgotten it, but Master, the Buddha talked about compassion, why can't you be open to demons. ”
"The hearts of demons are black, and the Buddha's teachings can't influence them, so what are you and I capable of?"
"But she's not a great evildoer, trust me, Master. ”
Ten years ago, you also interceded for a banshee, and you let her go, but in the end, after she achieved great cultivation, she began to absorb people's essence and cultivate. ”
"If you make the same mistake again at this time, I will not be ashamed to face my Buddha. ”
Ming Ran was stunned and looked at the abbot in disbelief, obviously not believing what he said. The abbot sighed and said:
"I didn't say it in the past, because I was afraid that you would be sad, and you didn't know it all the time in Changming Palace. ”
"As early as seven years ago, that banshee had already begun to do evil, she seduced mortal men, specifically sucking their essence to achieve the purpose of cultivation. ”
"You were kind enough to let her go, but she didn't repent at all, and now, do you want to be wrong again?"
"No, I don't believe it, Master, you must have lied to me. ”
Mingran's face was pale and he kept shaking his head. The old abbot's face instantly became angry, and he pointed at Ming Ran and shouted:
"Your junior brother is her poisonous hand, what do you not believe, is it difficult for her to come in person and kill everyone before you believe it. ”
Mingran sat on the ground weakly, and his heart was already full of remorse, but he still pulled the old abbot's sleeve and said:
"Master, Ke Mingyan is innocent, she is not the banshee, the apprentice has known her since she was a child, and knows that she will not harm anyone. ”
"Ridiculous, you are still with a banshee, is it possible, do you want to defect to Buddhism and be with her?"
"No vain, vain...... The apprentice just didn't want the master to kill the innocent by mistake. ”
The old abbot looked at Ming Ran with a disappointed expression, turned around and stopped talking, he folded his hands, his eyes were closed, and he read the scriptures aloud in his mouth.
