Chapter 270: You’re Indeed a Demon Monk!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
Ji Zhao had always thought that she had concealed her emotions very well, but she did not know that Shen Yao had long seen through the worry in her heart.
“If…” Ji Zhao lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, “Shen Yao, can you promise me one thing?”
“I can’t!”
To her surprise, Shen Yao’s attitude was so unyielding.
She could not help but smile bitterly. “l haven’t said what it is yet–”
“Ah Tao, I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with Father.” Shen Yao let go of her hand and said with a gentle smile, “Why don’t you rest first..
Before Ji Zhao could answer, Shen Yao had already turned around and left.
Looking at his hurried back, Ji Zhao helplessly closed her eyes.
Shen Yao actually chose to avoid talking about it.
However, when she recalled what Grandmaster Wuzhi had said, Ji Zhao felt her heart in a mess.
On the other side.
Shen Yao did not go to the front yard. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the Earth Temple.
As he walked faster and faster, the clamor in the Shen family’s courtyard behind him gradually faded away.
The May sun was already a little scorching.
When Shen Yao walked into the main hall, a fat monk in a gray kasaya was sitting cross-legged on a soft futon, knocking on the wooden fish and chanting scriptures.
“Master Wuzhi?” Shen Yao frowned slightly and questioned in a low voice,
‘What exactly did you say to my wife?”
“The anger in your heart is surging. It’s really inappropriate.”
Grandmaster Wuzhi slowly opened his eyes. The smile on his face was very kind. “Benefactor, why don’t you calm down and listen to the Buddhist voice? Only then can you stop being arrogant and become calm.”
For some reason, Shen Yao’s emotions were even more unstable at this moment.
He could not help but rush forward and attack the monk!
Grandmaster Wuzhi raised his kasaya lightly and easily dodged his attack!
“A benevolent master?’ Shen Yao was even angrier. The blood in his heart surged, and even his peach blossom eyes were filled with scarlet blood vessels! “I think you’re simply a demon monk who deceives the public with demonic words!”
“Amitabha!” Grandmaster Wuzhi sighed helplessly. Then, he quickly attacked and tapped the acupuncture points on Shen Yao’s body.
Shen Yao, who could not move anymore, narrowed his eyes vigilantly. There was a coldness in the depths of his eyes.
“You are indeed a demon monk! ”
Master Wuzhi looked at him and shook his head helplessly.
Shen Yao tried his best to circulate his energy to break through the acupuncture points in his body, but he suddenly felt his vision turn black before he lost consciousness—
As dusk approached, the noisy courtyard of the Shen family gradually regained its peace.
Ji Zhao, who had slept for nearly four hours, felt refreshed and full of energy.
However, she searched the entire courtyard and did not find Shen Yao. “Mother?” Ji Zhao suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and rushed to the kitchen. “Mother, have you seen Shen Yao?”
“No, what’s wrong?” Zhao Lanhua, who was clearing the dishes, quickly looked up and replied, “Maybe he went out with your father?”
“But isn’t Father still sleeping?’ Ji Zhaoyao pointed in the direction of the central room and frowned slightly.
She searched the entire Shen family’s courtyard again, but she still did not see Shen Yao.
Ji Zhao was getting more and more anxious.
She forced herself to calm down and then thought of another place!
Earth Temple!
Night fell quietly, and a new Earth Temple was repaired. It was brightly lit.
The moment Ji Zhao rushed into the main hall, he saw Shen Yao kneeling in front of the statue of the local god. Only at this moment did she feel at ease.
“Shen Yao?”
“Mm.” Shen Yao, who had his back facing her, slowly turned around.
However, the way he looked at her was no longer gentle and doting.
“Are you all right?”
“Ah Tao.” Shen Yao suddenly stood up and walked to her step by step. He looked down at her eyes and asked with a sharp gaze, “You’re not Ah Tao, right?” At this moment, his gaze was too sharp.
Ji Zhao could not help but feel a little afraid. “Shen Yao, are you alright?” Shen Yao looked at her with a complicated gaze. Then, he walked around her and left.
For some reason, Ji Zhao felt a sudden pain in her heart.
Ji Zhao was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she walked into the back hall of the Earth Temple.
At that moment, Grandmaster Wuzhi was drinking tea under the parasol tree. When he heard the footsteps, he did not look surprised at all.
“May I ask what Master said to Shen Yao?” Ji Zhao clenched her fists and questioned in a cold tone.
“Amitabha.” Master Wuzhi slowly raised his eyes. The expression on his face was as kind as ever. “Benefactor, don’t worry. A monk doesn’t lie. I never lie. “Since Master is unwilling to tell the truth, I have nothing to say.” Ji Zhao took a deep breath and couldn’t help but sneer. “However, I’m afraid Master doesn’t know that this Earth Temple was very dilapidated and simple back then. If I hadn’t spent money and effort to call for everyone to repair this place, Master wouldn’t have been able to find such a perfect residence!’
“However, I feel that this temple is still too small to accommodate an accomplished monk like you.” Ji Zhao mocked, “So, Master, please pack your luggage and leave this place as soon as possible!”
“Benefactor, are you chasing me away?” Although Grandmaster Wuzhi was a little surprised, his expression was still indifferent.
“Master, don’t misunderstand.” Ji Zhao crossed her arms and said coldly, “1 have no intention of chasing you away. It’s just that this Earth Temple is not suitable for you to stay! ‘
“Besides, the Earth God is Daoist, but Master is a believer in Buddhism! Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to continue staying here?’
What surprised Ji Zhao was that no matter how much she mocked him, Grandmaster Wuzhi still had a benevolent expression on his face, as if he was not angry at all.
In the end, she said angrily, “Anyway, this Earth Temple doesn’t welcome you. Master, you should leave early!”
“Benefactor Ji.” Just as Ji Zhao turned around, Wuzhi suddenly said, “I still have a word of advice.”
“Fate in this world seems to be fate, but it’s actually not.”
“As the saying goes, the sea of bitterness is boundless. Repent and be saved. This poor monk hopes that you can comprehend it as soon as possible. Namo
Amitabha!”
After saying these words, Grandmaster Wuzhi left.
The huge Earth Temple was silent.
Ji Zhao only felt exhausted. She was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she knelt in front of the statue of the Earth god piously, full of questions.
“Earth God, your devotee, Ji Zhao, is going to disturb you again. I have many questions in my heart. I hope you can give me some instructions as soon as possible.”
Fifteen minutes later, just as Ji Zhao turned around and was about to leave, she felt a wave of dizziness in front of her. In a short while, she fell to the ground— In the Shen family’s house, the family sat around the central room. Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief.
Zhao Lanhua, in particular, widened her eyes in surprise.. ‘Third Brother, did you just say that you wanted to divorce Ah Tao? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Or have you gone crazy from studying recently?!’
