In the Buddha Mother Hall, the candle flame is flickering.

When Chen Jing said the last few words, the splendid hall seemed to be shrouded in some kind of ominous shadow, a kind of "haze" that was invisible to the naked eye but could be perceived through the visual system......

At this moment.

It was as if the air had condensed.

The oppressive atmosphere made everyone present feel quite uncomfortable, especially the elders who were sitting behind Erga, many of the short-tempered people were already ready to flip the table, because the provocative meaning of Chen Jing's words was much stronger than Chen Bofu's crazy ridicule before, not to mention that Chen Jing's words were directly said to the temple leader Erga.

"We're not the beasts of the Hermitage Order, nor are we the iron-headed monks of the Hanging City...... There are some things we can't do. Erjia didn't have the slightest anger in his heart, but showed a curious expression towards Chen Jing, as if he didn't expect Qiao Youning, a child, to have such weight in his heart.

Threat?

Or is it a warning?

Erga looked at Chen Jing with interest, the smile on his face was still so kind and kind, like an elder who dotes on his children.

"Lord Egga, I believe in you."

Chen Jing suddenly smiled, and the rather depressing momentum on his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he had returned to his normal appearance in an instant, and his slightly green face was still so harmless to humans and animals.

"I'm just worried about the influence of the Buddha Mother on Youning, after all, her status in your temple is extremely special, so I have to think about it more......"

"Are you worried that we will give her as a sacrifice to the Buddha Mother, or are you worried that the Buddha Mother will assimilate her?" Ega asked with interest.

"Both." Chen Jing replied with a smile, without the slightest concealment.

Ega snorted, fiddling with the rosary in his hand.

The kind and kind face was full of smiles, as if thinking about something, and only spoke again after a moment.

"We have never used her as a pawn, but I can't guarantee that she will be assimilated by Mother Buddha in the future...... Just as we ourselves are not exempt from this risk, the more power we borrow from the Buddha Mother, the greater the price we have to pay, and you should understand this truth. ”

"She doesn't have to do anything with me, but if I'm not with her, I want you to watch her for me." Chen Jing said with a smile.

"If she is really ...... by the Buddha Mother one day" Erga looked at Chen Jing and asked quietly.

But before he could finish speaking, Chen Jing suddenly interrupted him.

Under the flickering lights.

Chen Jing silently looked back at the seated statue of the Buddha mother on the altar, and there was not much emotion in his calm eyes.

"If something really happened to her because of the Buddha Mother, then your monastery will probably have to change her faith."

"Presumptuous !!"

"You kid is too arrogant!! Do you know what you're talking about?! It's just a resuscitator in deep space......"

"Do you have any opinions?"

Just when the elders were furious, Chen Bofu, who had been holding a cigarette and didn't speak, spoke.

Although the old man still looked lazy, holding his chin with his hand and smacking his mouth, his eyelids half-open as if he were going to fall asleep at any moment...... But at the moment when he spoke, a chilling aura of energy suddenly and silently poured out of him.

It was a visible tidal wave of energy.

The energy from the Calamity sequence was all turned into a liquid state, and the blackness spread through the hall like ink.

In the twinkling of an eye.

The resplendent Buddha Mother Hall was covered with a thick layer of black slime, and even the seated statue of the Buddha Mother changed color at this moment.

With a strange and sticky sound, countless pairs of eyes slowly opened on this layer of black water, as if there were tens of thousands of strange creatures lurking in it......

Being watched by them with such a vicious and crazy gaze, the rest of the elders except for Ega only felt a little shuddering, as if that resentful gaze was like a virus, silently infecting them all, invading the bone marrow and even spreading to the depths of the cells, completely cutting off their connection with the Buddha Mother.

"Although I really don't want to be the one who spoils trouble, I really can't stand your attitude towards my grandson, let alone look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, this proverb that has spread from your monastery...... Have you all forgotten? ”

Chen Bofu's body continued to twist, as if it had fallen into distortion due to this invisible tide of energy, and in an instant, he lost his human form, just like a gloomy fog that was uncertain.

"Scolding my grandson in front of me, I see that you are all tired of living......"

At this moment, the elders suddenly remembered the events of that year, it was the year when Chen Bofu fought fiercely with the monastery, and the psychological shadow he left on everyone has not been eliminated to this day...... A moving humanoid scourge, the source of an ominous calamity.

These names seem to have been given to him by these elders.

That's when it happened.

Suddenly, a crisp bell rang in the hall.

Before everyone could find the source of the bell, they saw that the black liquid covering the surface of the main hall began to fade continuously, especially the black substance that covered the Buddha Mother sitting statue layer by layer, which disappeared almost instantly, revealing the golden light of the Buddha Mother's true appearance.

"Although I remember that you have a small heart, but I didn't expect that after so many years, your heart and eyes really haven't grown at all......" Oga said helplessly, "Can we not fight......

As he spoke, Ega suddenly got up and walked in front of Chen Jing.

Chen Jing also got up and looked at the kind old man with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry."

Ega stretched out his right hand to Chen Jing and said in a serious tone.

"Whether Youning is your friend or not, the monastery will not let her be wronged, let alone become a part of the Buddha's mother...... Just like you said, we will keep an eye on her and will not allow her to use the power of the Buddha Mother indiscriminately, so that it will not be easy to be assimilated by the Buddha Mother. ”

"Then we'll be our own." Chen Jing held Ega's palm tightly, only feeling that it didn't look like an old man's hand, and his skin was indescribably delicate, "I will try my best to solve the problem of the Buddha Mother for you, but the premise is that you have to tell me how the entire sealing ritual works, otherwise I can't do anything." ”

"Of course."

Ega said with a smile, looking back at the elder.

"Take these two distinguished guests to the guest room to rest, the banquet will be postponed until midnight for the time being, and I will go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to reproduce a drawing of the ritual."

"Yes."

……

When leaving the Buddha Mother Hall, Chen Bofu was still a little unhappy.

Because he felt that these monks were not the kind of people who were sensible and beneficial, if it weren't for the good grandson who had been persuading him, it is estimated that he would have to turn his face with Ega at that time......

"If you want me to say that these guys just owe a lesson, what kind of thing dare to play with us!"

"Forget it."

Chen Jing helped the old man to walk outside a secluded courtyard in the temple, with a gentle smile on his face, and did not take the attitude of those elders to heart.

"Don't say anything else, at least for now, they are really good to Qiao Youning, for her sake."
