Chapter 522: The Monk Guards Wang Siruo
Chapter 522: The Monk Guards Wang Siruo
"Abbot, you have been guarding here for several days in a row. The weather is getting colder. Can you bear it? I have asked people to prepare bedding and charcoal in the side room. Do you want to go and have some vegetarian food and take a rest?"
Just as Wang Siruo was considering whether to kill the old monk who was in the way outside the door, the voice of the old lady of Anyang Marquis suddenly came from outside the door.
"Thank you, benefactors. This woman is a very evil person. I need to stay here to prevent her from going out to do evil. Please leave the vegetarian food here."
The old monk who was chanting with his eyes closed heard what the old lady said, opened his eyes, looked at her and spoke kindly.
The old lady put her hands together and chanted "Amitabha", then ordered the servants behind her to put the vegetarian meal on the low table next to the old monk. She also placed a few braziers and four screens to block the wind next to him. Then she looked at the closed door with a complicated expression, nodded to the old monk, and slowly left with her people.
A few days ago, the old lady asked her old friend Rong Mama to invite this eminent monk. However, the eminent monk just glanced at her granddaughter Wang Siruo from a distance at the gate of the courtyard, and bluntly said that she was a very evil person, and he needed to stay here to chant sutras and enlighten her. From that day on, the eminent monk sat outside Wang Siruo's door, beating the wooden fish and chanting sutras, and never left again.
The old lady felt that this was too tiring and asked the old monk to rest many times. However, he said bluntly that if he left, someone would die. Although the old lady felt that her granddaughter could not leave the heavily guarded Anyang Marquis Mansion, the monk was famous. Thinking about her granddaughter's horrific killing methods, she finally decided to follow the monk's arrangements.
"Amitabha! You have too much murderous intent. You must know that the sea of suffering is endless and turning back is the shore. I urge you to chant sutras and eat vegetarian food with me to help the souls killed by you to be reborn and to reduce your sins!"
The old monk seemed to sense the murderous aura of Wang Siruo inside the door. He moved the Buddhist beads in his hand, chanted a Buddhist name, and tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Hmph! Old bald donkey! I don't know how you managed to confuse my grandmother and trap me in this small room. I advise you to mind your own business, or you may lose your life someday!"
Wang Siruo spoke harshly through the door, looking gritting his teeth.
A few days before the old monk came, Wang Siruo was still able to pretend and spoke to him very politely, saying that he must have made a mistake. How could a delicate young lady like her go out and harm others? She had not left the Anyang Marquis Mansion since the day after her mother passed away.
Later, seeing that the old monk was unmoved, she insisted that if he left, she would definitely go out and do evil and kill people. Then she kept chanting scriptures outside the door and hitting his broken wooden fish.
These past two days, she simply stopped pretending. She was annoyed by the nagging, so she came to the door and glared at the old monk fiercely and spoke ill of him. But the old monk was not annoyed at all, and still stood guard outside her door day and night. When he left for the toilet, he would have several guards guard outside her door. She had no chance to sneak out of the house at all.
Today her patience was running out, and she made no secret of her murderous intent towards the old monk.
"Donor, if you don't repent, you will be punished. I hope you can practice meditation with me!"
After saying this, the old monk ignored Wang Siruo, picked up his chopsticks and ate quietly. The only sounds in the whole yard were his chewing and Wang Siruo's occasional roars.
"Ah! I can't bear it anymore! Old monk, give me your life! After I kill you, I won't go back to the mansion for the time being. When I have cultivated successfully, I will come back to see my grandmother and father. Then they will definitely welcome me back to the mansion politely!"
Wang Siruo seemed to be on the verge of collapse. She had not absorbed human flesh and blood for several days, and her whole body felt like being gnawing by countless ants. She felt painful and itchy and was in great pain.
She suddenly opened the door and attacked the old monk's head with her hands like claws at an extremely fast speed.
The old monk's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, his long white eyebrows fluttered, and he muttered something. A large golden character blocked Wang Siruo's attack and pressed her to the ground, unable to move.
"Amitabha! The donor is too murderous, just calm down for a while!"
After the old monk finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, the door slammed shut, and he sat back on the cushion and continued to eat his vegetarian meal leisurely.
Wang Siruo in the room was not injured. She was pressed down by the golden characters and could not move. Not only that, she could not speak. Her body was in more and more pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at her bones. She could not struggle at all and could only lie there and endure it.
After a while, sweat soaked her clothes. She lay weakly on the ground, no longer as arrogant as before.
An hour later, the golden characters disappeared. Wang Siruo moved his stiff limbs and took a long time to stagger up from the ground. He looked resentfully in the direction of the old lady's yard for a while, then calmed down and lay back on the bed.
Wang Siruo was trapped temporarily like this. There were no more cases of evil practitioners harming people in the capital, so Lin Xi and his friends gradually relaxed. They only sent half of the people out for patrol every day, and the others were free to move around.
That day, the three brothers Lin Kang and some of their team members went on patrol. Lin Xi accompanied Cao and Lin Dayong to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just after dinner, they heard the servants report, "Madam, Guard Leng is outside the mansion asking for an audience. He said that the Regent King wants to ask Miss Lin to come to the palace for something!"
"Xi'er, go quickly. I'll take your mother for a walk in the street. Your father is accompanied by your uncle! Don't worry!"
Leng Linglong knew that Jun Moxie must have something important to discuss with Lin Xi, so she stood up and said with a smile.
Seeing her father's miserable face, Lin Xi suppressed her laughter, said goodbye to everyone, and strode out of the house. Her father was most worried about being alone with his uncle. He didn't know what to talk about with this uncle who was full of poetry and books, but his uncle always liked to talk to her father.
"Hello, Miss Lin! Sorry to bother you with your reunion with the old Prime Minister and his family!"
Leng Yi, who was waiting outside the mansion, saw Lin Xi coming out and said embarrassedly that he felt embarrassed to ask someone to come to someone else's relative's house, but thinking of the regent waiting in the palace, he could only bite the bullet and go to the old prime minister's mansion to ask for help.
"No problem, let's go!"
Seeing two horses behind Leng Yi, Lin Xi knew that one of them was prepared for her. She jumped on the horse, looked at Leng Yi and smiled.
Jun Moxie must have developed spiritual roots, so he asked Leng Yi to find her and bring her to the palace to teach him how to practice.
Lin Xi had really guessed it. As soon as Jun Moxie saw Lin Xi, he dismissed his attendants and said to her excitedly, "Lin Xi, a spiritual root has grown in my body. What should I do next?"
Lin Xi carefully taught Jun Moxie the method of cultivation and practiced with him for an hour. Seeing that Jun Moxie had mastered the method of cultivation, she left him a batch of dried spirit fish and asked him to teach the selected practitioners. Then, she did not stay in the palace for long and left with the delicacies from the imperial kitchen prepared by Jun Moxie.
In the following time, Jun Moyue would invite Lin Xi to the palace from time to time to consult with everyone about the problems they encountered in their cultivation.
