The Demon’s Menu
Chapter 1032: Hair Volume and Strength (2)

The old monk said, his face full of sighs.

"How does it taste?"

Jason asked.

"The soup base is great."

"It has the richness of meat and the freshness of fish soup, and it’s not greasy."

"Too bad the noodles can be refilled for free."

"But the soup is charged."

"Really..."

The old monk’s face was full of emotion, but suddenly, he froze.

Because he realized that the sadness he had just felt had disappeared.

Right after Jason asked about the taste.

Everything became joyful.

"So that’s how it is."

"Thank you, Master, for the enlightenment."

The old monk clasped his hands together toward Jason.

Jason was already used to these kind of occurrences often happening with Cat Hole’s external staff.

He casually nodded, showing an expression that said, ’Yes, exactly what you’re thinking.’

And the female detective was completely baffled.

What did I miss?

Wasn’t I just walking with you guys?

"Ms. Hui Lijing, you need to slowly comprehend the Master’s words."

"The taste perceived by the tongue is actually the taste of life."

"Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty... The five flavors of life, that’s all there is."

The old monk’s face was full of contemplation.

What does that mean?

Is Jason not just simply asking about the taste before deciding to have a bowl?

How come there are so many profound truths?

Am I thinking too shallowly?

As the female detective doubted her life, Tongshou Temple was already close at hand.

The old monk quickened his pace, went up the steps, and opened the door.

The Tongshou Temple they saw was no different from before.

There were also left and right wings, a main hall, and a courtyard.

"Ms. Hui Lijing, please wait here."

"Or you may wait in the left wing."

"If you need some tea, please help yourself—I need to complete the transmission for the Master as soon as possible, excuse any rudeness."

The old monk at Tongshou Temple expressed his apologies.

"It’s okay."

"I can manage myself."

The female detective generously waved her hand, helped the old monk close the temple gate, and walked alone into the left wing.

"Not surprisingly for Ms. Hui Lixiang’s sister, although there is a big gap in strength, both have such forthright characters."

The old monk softly praised, then made a welcoming gesture to Jason again.

Entering the main hall, coming to the back of the statue, Jason once again saw the locked door.

Is the inheritance here?

Jason looked around.

There were no noticeable traps or anything noteworthy around.

Is it too simple?

Jason wondered.

The old monk laughed again.

"Inside are just some ordinary scriptures."

"Even the inheritance of Tongshou Temple, to outsiders."

"Are just ordinary scriptures."

Ordinary scriptures?

Disguised?

Only the people of Tongshou Temple can see the true nature of the ’scriptures’?

Jason quickly understood.

Back in his hometown, he had heard such rumors.

And in Nightless City, he had seen it with his own eyes.

Because, the old man’s ledger was arranged in that way.

Anyone other than the old man, getting hold of that ledger, would only think it’s an ’H’ magazine.

Surely, an ’H’ magazine in a safe is a bit too conspicuous.

But the approach of ’Tongshou Temple’ is more appropriate.

Since that’s the case, then...

Could the ’Fear’ flag also be stored this way?

Placed somewhere conspicuous yet overlooked?

Jason narrowed his eyes.

This was a very likely possibility.

After all, such a useful method wouldn’t be used just once.

Then, if the ’Fear’ flag exists,

And it’s really in ’Tongshou Temple’,

Where would it be?

Click!

The crisp sound of unlocking interrupted Jason’s thoughts.

The old monk at Tongshou Temple took off the lock, held it in his hand, and pushed open the door.

With the light shining, a small library appeared in front of Jason.

The bookshelves were no taller than 1.5 meters and only about 2 meters long, arranged haphazardly.

Walking among them, as long as one was tall enough, one could see all the books on the top shelf at a glance.

The old monk of Tongshou Temple walked through the library familiarly, and soon came to a table specially for reading with a dozen books.

"This is the basic skillset of Tongshou Temple, including boxing, leg techniques, staff techniques, swordsmanship, and knife skills, etc."

"Because of my poor Talent, I only glanced through them."

The old monk took out seven or eight books.

Then, he took out three of them.

"These are [Body Double Technique], [Boat Traversal Technique], [Silence Technique], the secret techniques I’m most familiar with."

Subsequently, the old monk took out another book.

"This one is [Vajra Palm], I can only perform it, my Talent is too poor."

The old monk said with a helpless shake of his head.

Then, the old monk took out another book.

When taking out this book, the old monk’s expression immediately became solemn.

"This is the core secret technique of Tongshou Temple: [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique]!"

"Rumored to be able to summon the ’Divine Dragon’s power’ to exorcise demons."

"Unfortunately, I only understand a bit of it."

The old monk put the [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique] on the table, clasped his hands again, and directly asked Jason, "Master, where do we start learning from?"

"Don’t we need to start from the basics?"

Jason looked at the majority of basic skills, slightly curious.

The concept from his hometown always made him used to starting from the simple to the complex, laying a solid foundation, and then progressing step by step.

"Basic skills are just that, skills, although practicing to a profound level can also rival secret techniques."
