Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Offended the Abbot and Still Want to Leave? (Seeking Collection, Recommendations and Reviews)

It was Pan Ke’s voice, but who would be looking for Li Changhe?

Just as Li Changhe was puzzled, he heard an old voice: "Benefactor, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Changhe was startled, and his expression suddenly changed. He contacted He Feng, who had just left, through his [Friends] list.

He almost forgot, his relationship with Jiushan Temple was not close at all.

Even before he came, he was prepared to have a conflict with them.

That’s because [Unseen Red Dust] came from this Jiushan Temple, and as the one who indirectly killed [Unseen Red Dust], Li Changhe could be considered their enemy.

Moreover, according to the [Great Wall Players] just now, the mermaids had once breached the [Player]’s defense line, and even attacked the innermost Buddhist temple. They were driven back by the desperate resistance of the monks.

It doesn’t sound like much, but do you know how many monks there are here? Only about a dozen monks. Most of them were at the entrance, dealing with the mermaids along with the [Players].

A few monks repelled more than a dozen mermaids who attacked the Buddhist temple?

Don’t think Li Changhe just slaughtered a lot, that was under the effect of [Hundred-Headed Shooter] and [Worm’s Ultimate Bow]. If he had to fight in close combat, it wouldn’t be easy for Li Changhe to break through.

This is not about whether monks are martial or not. They must be Transcendents!

Big trouble, his two [Title Skills] now cannot be used, his combat power has dropped significantly. If they intend to unleash the Eighteen Arhats Fist of the Shaolin Temple on Li Changhe now, he would surely be at a disadvantage.

"No need to worry, benefactor Li. I mean no harm. I just came to settle a debt," the voice outside the yurt continued to echo.

"You mention settling a debt. Are you sure you’re not trying to kill me?" Li Changhe’s hand flashed a spatial distortion, and the mechanical bow was already in his hand: "[Unseen Red Dust] deserved to die. Even if we were to do it all over again, I would still kill him!"

"Sigh." Someone sighed and pulled open the yurt’s curtain.

It was a kind elder, or should I say, an old monk. With deep wrinkles on his face, he was dressed in a yellow monk’s robe with a red kasaya. He wouldn’t even need makeup if he were to appear in a historical drama.

Just looking at him, Li Changhe felt a peaceful aura.

But Li Changhe did not lower his bow, he even took a step back. It wasn’t this old monk he was afraid of, but the door that the old monk pulled open.

Before, in order to prevent the Tingdaros Hound from appearing, Li Changhe even changed the door to a semi-circle shape. To avoid forming angles.

But this monk deliberately held the curtain to form an angle. In an instant, a black mist appeared in that corner. That was the sign before the Tingdaros Hound appeared.

He Feng, not too far away, quickly picked up his spear, Xiao Nan, who was distributing food with the [Great Wall Players], froze in place, frost forming at his feet.

Just as Li Changhe and the others thought they were about to face the Tingdaros Hound, the black mist was casually slapped away by the old monk....

The old monk entered the yurt with a gentle smile, sat down slowly one step away from Li Chang and said with a smile: "Can we talk now, Benefactor Li?"

Did he just scatter the mist of the Tingdaros Hound with a slap?

Suppressing the ’Damn’ in his heart, Li Changhe slowly sat down with his mechanical bow in his hand.

Pan Ke also sat down with a laugh. Who knows which side he is on?

He told Xiao Nan and He Feng through [Friends] that everything was normal.

Li Changhe muttered: "He brought it upon himself. I did nothing wrong!"

At the same time, he took out a photo and a letter and placed them in front of the old monk.

He had returned the items, if the other party still wanted to bring up [Unseen Red Dust], there wouldn’t be much to talk about next. They would simply fight.

The old monk picked up the photo and letter. He sighed, put them into his monk’s robe.

"He’s already bewitched." The old monk’s voice carried a hint of sorrow: "Bu Chen was no longer himself when he lost what he loved. We thought the ancient light of Buddha might change him. But sadly..."

Bu Chen? Is he referring to the Dharma title [Unseen Red Dust]? Li Changhe wondered.

"Benefactor, are you actually the same kind of person as him?" the old monk suddenly mentioned his name for some reason.

"Me?" Flames surged on the bronze mask, Li Changhe laughed: "What’s such a big deal? Everyone’s been saying that I’m just like this person or that person today."

Earlier, Tie Xiong had said that he was also like him, now the old monk is saying he’s like [Unseen Red Dust].

I’m not suffering from multiple personality disorder. How can there be so many similar people?

"I would never resort to anything for power like he did." Li Changhe spoke faintly.

"No, you will! You both cherish someone deeply and would stop at nothing for them. The only difference is, the one you’re protecting is still here. As for him..." The old monk softly shook his head.

"He is what failure would look like for you."

Li Changhe was stunned, his body slightly leaned forward, as the blue flames on the mask looked almost as if they’d scorch the old monk’s face.

He said word by word: "His failure to hold on is his issue. I will never fail!"

The old monk, seemingly unfazed by Li Changhe’s reaction, spoke softly: "During the time Bu Chen left, I pondered a lot. I regretted... if I had insisted on encouraging him to return to secular life at the time, would his fate be different? And then one day, I felt him return. That’s why... we’re grateful to you."

Li Changhe felt chilled hearing this. Thankful to one’s enemy? Li Changhe couldn’t understand that. He couldn’t comprehend the Buddhist truth of ’Everything is predestined’.

An enemy is an enemy, where does gratitude come in?

"So, what are you trying to... do?" Li Changhe slowly tightened his grip on the mechanical bow, as a precaution. Things were getting very weird now!

"I initially thought you were entangled by ghostly energies and wanted to help rid you of them. But it seems like you have a harmonious relationship with them. However, you’re also being targeted by a much more dangerous evil spirit." The old monk must have sensed Yun Ting’s presence as he calmly continued: "Since Bu Chen asked you to deliver the message, I believe I understand his intentions. I’ll help you fend off this evil spirit."

After the old monk finished speaking, he looked somewhat tired and relieved. Pan Ke, on the other hand, let out a weird chuckle and whispered to Li Changhe: "Are you planning to become a monk, young man?"

...

Meanwhile, the [Great Wall Players] were calming down the ordinary people affected by the [Task].

These people were not [players], yet they had experienced life-and-death hardships during this time. Coupled with the shortage of food and the presence of wounded individuals, their trust in the [Great Wall] decreased considerably.

They were even contemplating storming for food and attacking the [Great Wall].

This posed some trouble for the [Great Wall], but luckily some [items] could help maintain their calm. Several particularly agitated individuals who were planning to attack the [Players] were put to sleep, barely keeping the situation under control.

But this wasn’t a long-term solution. Supplies of food and medicine were dwindling. Their morale wasn’t improving much either. A full breakdown was only a matter of time.

At that point, the [Players] alone wouldn’t be able to withstand the onrush of mermaids.

The only solution was to complete the task as soon as possible. One of the Great Wall players sighed and began patrolling around the temple, hoping to find some clues.

Xiao Nan’s thoughts were somewhere else, however. The monk and Pan Ke had been inside the yurt for quite some time and all her inquiries to Li Changhe in the [Friends] section had been replied with ’everything’s normal.’

She simply couldn’t relax. During the moment when the black mist appeared, if not for the response in the [Friends] section, she would have already activated her Demon Armor.

What could be going on inside now?

So, Xiao Nan took the opportunity when her teammates were on patrol to sneak closer towards the yurt.

Then she heard one sentence, "You’ve offended the Abbot and yet you think of leaving? Old Li, just become a monk!"

Xiao Nan ???
