Chapter 1625 The Arrival of the Monk
Chapter 1625 The Arrival of the Monk
The next morning.
Yan Ruyu did not eat in the yard, but went to the front hall with everyone.
Uncle Sima also came. He was asked to come by the letter sent by Xiaolan.
Their behavior last night showed that they believed what Li Sugui said, so everything they did today should be done with goodwill.
Not surprisingly, their breakfast is large, high quality, and non-toxic.
Several people blinked and looked at Yan Ruyu, who nodded: "Eat."
Do not eat white do not eat.
At breakfast time, there were a lot of people in the front hall, and Xiang Guang and his friends were sitting at a table not far away.
Xiang Guang sighed: "Hey, I don't know if I can leave today."
The subordinate next to him echoed: "It should be possible. Didn't they say that they had reported it to the authorities and invited a monk to pray for the soul to be reborn?"
"No one from the government has come. Who knows what's going on?" Xiang Guang was a little impatient. "I don't know if the monk will come."
Once someone takes the lead, others will follow.
Besides, everyone is anxious.
Soon, someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, when will the government and the temple send someone?"
Li Sugui had a smile on his face: "The government officials may be late. After all... everyone knows that I can't make the decision on government affairs."
"But the monk will come today."
Li Sugui looked outside and said, "According to the time, it should be almost time."
"That's fine. We don't care when the government officials come. The most important thing is that the monk can come and pray for the dead souls so that we can continue our journey."
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Echoes came and went.
Yan Ruyu acted as if nothing had happened and continued eating, thinking to herself, what kind of eminent monk is this?
Not long after, I heard someone at the door say, "Amitabha."
Everyone turned around immediately and saw two monks standing outside the door.
They couldn't help but smile with joy: "The great monk has arrived!"
"The monk came to pray for the soul to be reborn. This time it's all right."
Li Sugui also hurried over and said, "Two masters, are you here to pray for the deceased?"
The monk nodded and said, "That's right, benefactor, where is the body?"
"It's not far outside. I'll take you there later. Please come in and rest for a while and have a meal."
The monk waved his hands and said, "Thank you, benefactor. It's not necessary. We will pray for the deceased as soon as possible so that he can rest in peace."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Master. What do you need? I will prepare it immediately," Li Sugui said sincerely.
The monk said, "Just prepare incense, candles, and paper money."
"well."
Everyone present could see it clearly and felt happy, as if they had seen hope.
Yan Ruyu looked at the two monks. They were standing at the door, half inside and half outside. They were tall and strong, not shorter than Li Sugui.
Huo Changhe whispered in her ear: "You can't see any Buddha nature in them."
"He is nothing like our abbot."
Yan Ruyu: “…” Our abbot actually… doesn’t have much Buddhist nature.
Yinding also muttered quietly: "Why does this monk... look so strange?"
Jiang Paopao was puzzled. He really couldn't see it: "What's strange about it?"
The eldest master whispered, "Anyway, he doesn't look like a monk. He doesn't look fierce when he speaks, and his tone is kind, but I just don't think he is. Our abbot is not like that."
Yinding nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Indeed."
"Our abbot is so good, he is a highly accomplished monk."
Yan Ruyu: "..."
"Let's go over and take a look later."
When these two monks arrived, most people lost their appetite and just followed them to watch.
Li Sugui and Li Si led the way in front, while Li San carried a basket filled with things he needed in one hand and a copper basin in the other.
Everyone knew where the bodies were stored, but apart from Yan Ruyu and the others, no one else had ever been there.
There was no time to hide, and no one would come forward.
But this time is different. This time there is a great monk in front of them, and they feel that even the most ferocious ghost can be subdued.
When they reached the place where the corpses were stored, Huo Changhe whispered, "Do you think they will be able to tell that the formation has been destroyed?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "It shouldn't be. If they could see it, they should have arranged some personnel or investigated something secretly, but nothing has been done."
Huo Changhe frowned: "Could it be that the matter of the formation really has nothing to do with them?"
Yan Ruyu pondered: "It's hard to explain. I always feel like something is wrong and it doesn't make sense."
Weird indeed.
Yan Ruyu felt that Li Sugui and his son were not telling the truth, but they did not seem like the kind of people who would set up formations and ambushes.
Those people all have a temperament that is calm and determined, and their eyes are different, but Li Su is one of them, and his skills are his, but he doesn't have that kind of energy.
While he was thinking, two eminent monks had already taken their positions. They glanced at the corpses in front of them and chanted Buddhist mantras.
"Let's begin." said the monk.
The two of them sat opposite each other, cross-legged on the ground, with their hands clasped together.
Let Li San put the copper basin in front of the corpse, take out the incense, candles and paper money from the basket, and start burning them in the copper basin.
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly. This posture really didn't seem like that of a great monk.
However, no one else at the scene said anything, because Li Sugui looked so respectful, and they had already formed a preconceived notion that these two were eminent monks.
Yinding muttered quietly: "What the hell is this? Is this burning paper or praying for the souls to be reborn?"
A smile flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes. She pinched a pill and handed it to Huo Changhe, whispering a few words.
Huo Changhe curled the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded gently.
The fire in the copper basin had been lit, and paper money was put in. As the smoke rolled up, two monks began to chant something.
As for what they were talking about, the distance was too far and their voices were too soft to make out clearly.
Yan Ruyu remembered what the abbot did. Since he didn't know how to recite the scriptures, he would take out a scripture from the space when needed and recite it.
But most of them can't read it at all, they don't recognize many of the words, and don't know where to break the sentences.
Later, he just recited randomly, sometimes lyrics, sometimes novels.
In short, it's all nonsense.
In order to prevent others from hearing him, he slightly opened his lips and muttered in a vague and low voice.
Yan Ruyu felt that these two monks had the same method.
She was watching with interest when the space vibrated. People on both sides were paying attention to the monk. She stood where she was and her consciousness entered the space.
"What's wrong?" Yan Ruyu asked.
The abbot's voice was excited, and he laughed loudly: "Ruyu, I went to work last night, and early this morning, I frightened Governor Cao and City Envoy Li. They even thought I was an old immortal."
Yan Ruyu then remembered that, yes, she was so focused on catching Li Si and Li Sugui last night that she forgot that the abbot was going to build a road outside the city.
I should have said hello early this morning.
She felt a little guilty: "That's great. Let me tell you, everyone was talking about you just now."
The abbot was curious: "What are you talking about me? I was wondering why I kept sneezing."
"Good words, all good words," Yan Ruyu quickly recounted the story about the monk here.
The abbot's tail was almost reaching the sky.
