Chapter 97: Behind the Scenes

In the silence of the night, only the sound of insects can be heard, a monk is sitting in the middle of the ruined temple outside the capital, the monk's clothes are tattered, the whole body emits an unpleasant sour smell, the hair on the head half an inch long looks oily, and the back of the head is full of scabs, and there is a little yellow liquid flowing out, smelling nauseous. It may be that the affected area is very itchy, so the monk scratches it with his mud-covered hand from time to time.

He also often looked up at the outside of the temple, as if waiting for someone. Seeing that there was no movement outside the temple, the monk scratched the back of his head, and after some scalp-like objects fell off the back of his head, he closed his eyes and recited words in his mouth, and he didn't know whether he was chanting sutras or what. After a while, the monk opened his eyes again, stood up, walked to the gate of the ruined temple and looked out, but did not see what he wanted to think of, and he returned to the temple again.

This time he didn't sit down again, but his face was worried, and his heart became more and more irritable, and he knew that he couldn't sit down. He sighed, and then began to cross the temple. But this did not make the uneasiness in his heart lessen, but became more and more prosperous, and he was about to demolish the entire ruined temple later. Then he left to investigate, but he knew that it was not realistic, and what if he left with his left foot, and the man with his right foot arrived, so he could only continue to wait in the temple and wait for the outcome of the matter.

I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's an hour, maybe it's only a quarter of an hour, in an anxious mood, he can't accurately predict the time, only know that the days are like years, and there are footsteps outside the temple, and the footsteps are very soft, not like ordinary people, to like the people he is waiting for. However, he didn't dare to let down his guard when he was in the field, and shouted: "Who!"

"It's me. A familiar voice came, and the monk lowered his guard, and the person he was waiting for finally arrived. Sure enough, a Taoist priest walked out in the dark night, and it was the Taoist priest who appeared in Lin Ruhai's house.

"What's going on?" The monk saw the Taoist priest appear, and knew that he was okay by looking at him, so he asked directly about the matter.

"It went better than we expected. He took the medicine. The Taoist priest replied.

"Oh. He had never seen you before, and if he gave him medicine for nothing, didn't he suspect it?" The monk at first thought that the plan did not succeed so easily, and was surprised to hear that it was going to be sent out.

"There will definitely be doubts, but I appeared in the name of his ancestors, and then scared him with the last thing, so even if he is half-convinced, for the sake of his descendants, he will put away the medicine. Then, as long as his wife is not pregnant after a long time, his suspicions will slowly waver, and finally he will take the medicine. The Taoist priest said with great confidence, and he had to say that the Taoist priest had a very accurate grasp of Lin Ruhai's psychology, but it was a pity that he missed the existence of Jia Yu.

"Hopefully. But the monk felt that the chances of success in this matter were too low, and who knew if his wife would conceive, even if she could not conceive for a while, and wait two or three years?

"Don't worry, I still think it's very likely that it will work out, and even if it doesn't work, the two of us still have a chance to make a move. The Taoist priest thought that his companion was worried about this matter and comforted him.

"If you appear in front of everyone like this, you are not afraid of startling the snake. The monk was still worried, and he had not approved of such an upright appearance in front of people from the beginning.

"That's what I'm going to do, let the news get out, and when everyone pays attention to it, he'll be anxious, he'll be fooled. The Taoist priest explained.

"You're so calculating that you can even play with humanity. The monk's tone didn't know whether it was sarcasm or praise.

The atmosphere made the monk cold, and the Taoist priest didn't know what to say, so the two of them stood quietly in the temple, only the insects were still chirping at night.

"You say, are we really right to do this?" the monk suddenly looked up and asked the priest, his eyes full of confusion.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're doing the right thing, it's in accordance with the destiny of heaven, they're destined to do this, so don't think too much about it. As soon as the monk finished asking, the Taoist priest's face changed, and he said to the monk in a very stern tone.

"If that's the case, why did we become like this?" the monk retorted, although he didn't make rapid progress in his cultivation and looked ordinary when he was doing casual meditation, he looked full of aura and everyone was called a high-ranking monk. Now, he has become a dysentery monk who everyone hates, and his cultivation is higher than before, but he just feels that the feeling of crumbling is different from the previous sense of steadiness.

"What has become of? Isn't our cultivation getting higher and higher? It's just a matter of paying some price, for the sake of immortality, what is this worth?" the Taoist priest's voice raised again, saying this to the monk and to himself.

In fact, when the monk's appearance and his legs changed, he knew that something was wrong, and the monk's appearance was not in the most perfect state when he was sitting, and with the blessing of the aura, it would only make people feel close. They don't talk about other people's situations, even they feel that they are unsightly.

He knew it was backlash, retribution for what they had done. But they couldn't get off this boat, and they could only go headlong into the dark. And it's not their turn to regret it, the person behind it is not something they can match.

"It's for immortality, isn't that a big deal?" the monk repeated what the Taoist priest said, as if trying to convince himself.

"Don't think about it so much, we just need to do what the fairy explained, if it weren't for the fairy, we wouldn't even be able to build a foundation, don't say that we will be able to marry Jindan in a few more years." The Taoist priest said excitedly, as if he had seen that he had become a Jindan monk.

"Yes, we must become Jindan monks, even if we use all means. The monk was also persuaded by the Taoist priest: "But you better change back to your original appearance, this is a waste of aura." ”

The Taoist priest nodded, pinched a magic trick in his hand, lifted the spell on his body, and showed his original appearance, still a Taoist priest, but if he gave people the feeling of being a senior master just now, his current appearance is like a down-and-out Taoist priest, his whole body is sloppy, and even his Taoist robe is gray, I don't know if it is too old or dusty.

"Who's where?" the monk drank, and a spell struck the roof, and immediately a large hole was pierced in the roof, and the monk flew up to the roof through the big hole, only to see a black shadow fly away. It turned out that when the Taoist priest lifted the change, there was a heavy breathing sound from the roof of the broken temple. The Taoist priest also came up, and as soon as the two looked at each other, they chased in the direction where the figure disappeared, and what they just said could not be passed on.
