Volume 1 Pangea Continent Chapter 52 Yue Ming Mountain
"That's right! The only people in this Yue family who know the secret of devouring the Demon Ancestor now are probably the Yue family master, Yue Qingshan, and Yue Mingshan. ”
The little fox rubbed his chin and said, "With our strength, this head of the Yue family will never be touched." Yue Qingshan has disappeared again, and I'm afraid no one knows where he is now. Now there is only this Yue Mingshan, but where do we go to find him, even if we find him, I am afraid that we will not be able to kidnap him unconsciously, not to mention that we have to find out the secret of the Yue family's ancestral land from his mouth. ”
Hu Lin also frowned, and said, "It shouldn't be very troublesome to get him, the most important thing is not to alarm the Yue family before revealing the secret, this will be difficult...... I hope that Yue Mingshan is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so it will be easier to do. ”
"Young master, what should we do now?"
"What time is it now?"
"It's afternoon, and the young master has been in for a while. You haven't told Mei'er yet, what are we going to do next......"
"Of course, I will go back to Jiangyan City to find the monk and see if there is any news about Yue Mingshan there. If not, I'm afraid we're going to visit Yue's Mansion. ”
"What news can that stinky monk get into?"
"Mei'er, don't underestimate the monk, don't look at his usual bones and chatter, once it comes to the demon face behind him, this guy will definitely take it seriously. Let's go...... Let's see if the stinky monk is as unbearable as you think. After speaking, he took the little fox out of the cave and walked towards Jiang Yan City.
Hu Lin was not in a hurry, and walked slowly along the way, and finally walked into the gate of Jiangyan City in the evening. He didn't go back to the place where Yuan Jing was renting, but went straight to the city where Yue's house was located.
Entering the southeast area of Jiangyan City, he began to look for the monk, and finally saw him at a tea stall not far from Yuefu. At this time, there were many people around the tea stall, and the endless monk after the change of appearance was surrounded in the center, and his mouth was still chattering about something.
When approaching the tea stall, the little fox poked his head out of Hu Lin's pocket and whispered, "How is it, Mei'er is not wrong, right? In the head of the stinky monk elm, there are only those pedantic Buddhist scriptures and rotten ideas to help the world save people." The young master sent him to inquire about the news, but he preached the Dharma here. ”
Hu Lin ignored the little fox, but found a seat outside the crowd and sat down, ordered a cup of tea and listened to the monk's lecture with interest. When the little fox saw that he ignored him, he retracted his little head aggrievedly.
When it was time for dinner, the crowd gathered around the tea stall gradually dispersed. When the crowd dispersed, Hu Lin stepped forward and bowed to the monk and said, "The Buddhist principles in the master's mouth are really profound, and there are many incomprehensible places below, so please ask the master to solve my doubts......
The monk pretended to make a gesture and said with a smile, "Amitabha...... Looking at the face of the donor is a person who is related to the Buddha, how can a poor monk not solve the doubts for the donor?"
"Master, this place is very noisy, let's go to a clean place......
The monk nodded and said, "What the donor said is that this is really not suitable for explaining the principles of Buddhism. Donor, please come with me to the temple where the order is placed, it is not only pure but also very suitable for preaching Buddhism. With that, he walked straight out.
Hu Lin followed, following him around and around. What he didn't expect was that there was really a temple called Faxiang Temple in the city where the Yue family was located. The monk took him to a meditation room and closed the door casually.
"Master Hu Shi, why did you come to the little monk so quickly?" the monk looked at Hu Lin with a puzzled expression.
I didn't wait for Hu Lin's answer, but it provoked the little fox's angry shouting: "Stinky monk, if the young master and I hadn't come to take a look in advance, I don't know that you are only here to preach Buddhism and forget the purpose of coming here!"
Hu Lin pressed the little fox's head, shook his head helplessly, and then said to the endless monk, "Don't be surprised, monk, Mei'er didn't mean to ......"
"Where...... Where...... The reason why the little fox donor is prejudiced against the little monk is also because the little monk wanted to save it without asking the reason. The little monk only begs the little fox donor to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible, where can he dare to blame......"
"Hmph, don't think that if you say that, I will forgive you!" After speaking, the little fox found a futon and lay down, ignoring the monk no more.
Hu Lin also found a futon and sat down, and then said slowly, "I came to look for you this time for two things, the first thing is whether you have any news about Yue Mingshan here?"
"Huh...... The little monk first wants to say a good news, that is, the donor's sale of Yue Xiaoshan's relics has already played a role. Now most of the people of the Yue family have been sent out to acquire those relics. As for Yue Mingshan, I heard a lot of news. The little monk will talk to the donor......"
According to what the monk has learned, this Yue Mingshan is a famous son in Jiangyan Kingdom. This person often went to the luxurious places in the city, and most of the people he befriended were the sons and daughters of the city's powerful people, among whom he had the best relationship with several members of the Shi family's royal family.
The form and style of Yue Mingshan are completely different from those of the ordinary Yue family, except for being mixed in the aristocratic circle, he rarely appears among the poor. It is precisely because of this that he has aroused the dissatisfaction of many children of the Yue family, so the monk is so easy to inquire about him.
Looking at Hu Lin's frowning appearance, the monk said, "The little monk thinks that this Yue Mingshan is an arrogant and arrogant boy who does not learn and has no skills, why is the donor so interested in him." ”
"Stinky monk, my thoughts are the opposite of yours...... Based on what you said, I can be sure that the division of labor among the people of the Yue family is very clear. It seems that Yue Mingshan is specifically responsible for making friends with the powerful people in the city, and such an important task is entrusted to him, which shows that his status in the Yue family is very unusual. Of course I have to take care of such an important person......"
Hu Lin's words made the monk touch his head and ask suspiciously, "The little monk still doesn't understand...... Could it be that this stinky boy knows......"
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Lin nodded and said, "You guessed right, Yue Mingshan may really know about the Demon Face...... That's the second thing I'm going to say. ”
"Really?" the monk looked at Hu Lin expectantly.
When Hu Lin saw his eyes, he told him in detail about the news he had received from Yue Yunhai and the things that the Yue family's ancestral land had discovered.
After listening to this, the monk frowned and said, "Master Hu, do you mean that there may also be a seed growing in my heart?"
"Stinky monk, I also want to know if you also have a strange seed in your body. So, you might as well take a closer look at your body......"
When the monk heard this, he immediately closed his eyes and began to check his body. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of shock.
"It seems that the monk does have a strange seed in his body, where is it?" asked Hu Lin.
"Hey~ Like the donor, that seed is in the heart of the little monk. It's just that the appearance and color are a little different from the donor's one, it is blood red, and it is exactly the same as my heart, which is why the little monk spent so long looking for it. After speaking, the monk shook his head helplessly.
Hu Lin saw the worry in his heart, and comforted and said, "Stinky monk, I only believe in one sentence when I grow so big, that is, my life is up to me. I don't know why this strange seed is in my heart, but I won't let it affect me!"
When the monk listened to his words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Amitabha...... The little monk was confused...... Now that we know the source of the demonic nature in our hearts, the little monk must study the Dharma intensively in order to dissolve the demonic nature of this sub......"
"Hehe~ Stinky monk, you can figure it out...... I think this strange seed has a soul, maybe it will actually listen to you...... Can you get some food, we have time to discuss this matter tonight, and I will have to go to find that Yue Mingshan tomorrow. I hope he really knows about the Demon Face, and it always doesn't hurt to know more......"
After listening to this, the monk got up and went out to get food. It was a long time before he returned, and he brought back a lot of food. The two of them chatted while eating, discussing many things about the strange seeds and Yue Mingshan, and they didn't fall asleep until late at night.
Early the next morning, Hu Lin took the little fox out of the city, and their goal was Yue Mingshan. According to the information of the endless monk, Yue Mingshan went to Qiming Town, east of Jiangyan City, to buy Yue Xiaoshan's relics, and he went alone.
Qiming Town is not far from Jiangyan City, and Hu Lin arrived here early to look for traces of Yue Mingshan. But after searching the whole town, he found nothing, which made Hu Lin frown.
At this moment, the town suddenly began to agitate. One after another, people passed by him and ran towards the middle of the town, all of them holding all sorts of objects in their hands and shouting in their mouths.
"Hurry up, the son-in-law of the Yue family is coming to collect things again......"
"I must have what this boy wants...... For him, I turned out all the money in my family!"
"Hmph, Zhang Gui, don't dream, the rags in your hands can't get into the eyes of your son-in-law at all. Have you seen it, what I have in my hand is an ancestral object in the family, and my son-in-law will definitely take a fancy to it......"
......
Hu Lin followed when he heard these words, and he thought suspiciously, "Yue Mingshan's nerves won't be so big, right? He actually dared to buy Yue Xiaoshan's relics with such fanfare, so he wasn't afraid of being discovered by someone with a heart? Hehe, this guy really has the temperament of a second ancestor......
In the middle of the town, Hulin found a small square with a set of tables and chairs in the middle, which from a distance he knew was worth a lot. On the chair sat a gorgeously dressed boy, looking at the treasures that people had sent him with interest.
Hu Lin did not approach, but quietly blended into the crowd that had already offered the treasure. After some observation, he found that none of the people of the Yue family were fuel-efficient lamps.
Yue Mingshan's behavior seems to be very high-profile, but he does not only buy Yue Xiaoshan's relics, but from time to time he buys some ordinary items, even if he has a heart, it is not easy to detect what his purpose is. Moreover, when this guy chooses items, he simply chooses them aimlessly, making most of the people present think that he is a complete wrongdoer. Hu Lin also found that Yue Mingshan's eyes swept towards the crowd from time to time, subtly observing the expressions on everyone's faces.
Seeing his eyes, Hu Lin couldn't help but secretly think to himself, "He seems to be looking for something...... It seems that he has brought a lot of trouble to Uncle Liu......" At the same time, he also hoped in his heart that the person with Yue Xiaoshan's relics would not appear.
But the reality is the opposite of expectations most of the time, and a seemingly ordinary villager appeared with a relic of Yue Xiaoshan in his hand. Yue Mingshan quietly accepted the item, and quietly left a mark on the person.
Yue Mingshan had been in the town for a whole day, and no one with Yue Xiaoshan's relics appeared until it was dark. Yue Mingshan put away the tables and chairs and walked out of the town slowly.
Hu Lin followed Yue Mingshan to a ruined temple, and inside was the person who betrayed Yue Xiaoshan's relics. Yue Mingshan saw this person with a smug smile on his face.
"Tell me who gave you this treasure, I can make you die a painful death......" Yue Mingshan said as he took out Yue Xiaoshan's relics.
The man shook his head in horror, and was about to say something when a voice interrupted him.
"The eldest son of the Yue family, I want to ask you for advice on something......
