From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 27 Call it a day
The spring rain rustles, the spring rain rustles.

The remaining ashes of Great Tail Venerable were burned to ashes, but were soon wetted by the spring rain.

"I'm afraid this old wolf has been tricked by someone."

Nie Yannian stepped forward and kicked the remaining ashes, cursing, "There's not even a relic, it's obvious that he's a demon monk, not a great monk!"

"Master Nie, Yunzhou is the only place in the country that has Buddhist traditions. This Venerable Dawei seems to have really studied Buddhism, but why did he come here to spread Buddhism?" Meng Yuan was really curious.

"These bald donkeys are the most troublesome!" Nie Yannian crossed his arms, touched his chin with one hand, and said, "Monks are similar to those sour scholars. The sour scholars think they can educate the ignorant and foolish, but in fact they are superior; the bald donkeys want to save the suffering people, but in fact they can't save themselves."

As he spoke, Nie Yannian pointed at the pile of ashes and said, "These bald donkeys are all sick. They love to make great wishes no matter what. If they make eye contact with your mother on the road, they will say that they have a karma with you. They are very difficult to deal with! There are too few great monks in the world, but too many bald donkeys like this!"

Meng Yuan asked again: "What is the Sudden Enlightenment Sect that Master Nie mentioned earlier?"

"The Sudden Enlightenment School is not a school of thought, but a school of philosophy. Just like Confucianism and Taoism, there are various branches. Buddhism has the Sudden Enlightenment School and the Gradual Cultivation School. These are due to their different philosophies and are internal factions." Nie Yannian explained.

"Then how did Master Nie tell that Venerable Dawei was from the Sudden Enlightenment School?" Meng Yuan was curious.

"I just lied casually and didn't think too much about it." Nie Yannian smiled, "In fact, I couldn't tell whether he was a sudden enlightenment school or a gradual cultivation school."

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "What should we do next? This is not even within the scope of the palace guards."

"If it's just a few little monsters causing trouble, then this matter can be forgotten." Nie Yannian said more seriously, "But this old wolf is too deeply involved, and there is some kind of master behind him, I'm afraid it's very mysterious. You don't need to worry about it when you go back, you have to let the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau take over."

"Master Nie, did you work for the Demon Suppression Bureau before?" The Great Tail Venerable said that Nie Yannian was from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and Nie Yannian directly admitted it.

"Yeah, I used to specialize in killing monsters." Nie Yannian held the knife, and he, who had always been frivolous, actually looked a little depressed.

Seeing that Nie Yannian didn't want to talk more, Meng Yuan stopped asking questions. However, he made up his mind and went back to Zuiyue Tower to talk to Master Nie's beloved daughter.

"Master Nie, when can I learn how to cause spring thunder?" Meng Yuan is an ambitious person and has long coveted the skill of attracting the spring thunder phenomenon.

"You're looking for a woman before you're even weaned?" Nie Yannian sneered, pointed his finger at Meng Yuan, and said, "You're ruthless in action, but not in heart! Not only did you release the yellow fox, but you also gave him gentle instructions! Others are looking for vixens, but you found a weasel spirit. What a promising you!"

Nie Yannian saw the release of Xiangling, and Meng Yuan did not argue, but only asked: "Master Nie, after the spirit changes into a human form, can it give birth to a baby with a human?"

"Sure!" Nie Yannian smiled, "I'll arrange one for you?"

"Master Nie didn't make any arrangements for himself?" Meng Yuan also laughed.

"It has been arranged. It will be very smooth!" Nie Yannian laughed.

They both laughed.

After a while, the spring rain continued and Ren Debiao finally returned.

He was seen to be in tatters, with blood on his arms, but he came back alone, without any sign of Lang Er.

"Run away?" Nie Yannian frowned.

"I am incompetent." Ren Debiao saw Lang Da's body, glanced at Meng Yuan, and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"You've been in the realm of cultivation for two years, and your acupoints are almost open, but how come you're not even as good as a young boy? Scholar Meng killed the monster, but he still had time to sleep with a weasel spirit. Look at you!" Nie Yannian never spoke in a tactful way.

What does it have to do with me? Why compare me? Meng Yuan is an honest man who would not do anything to offend others. He said tactfully, "I was lucky. The road was slippery and the wolf fell down. I shot him with two arrows. He was not good at using his sword either. I was lucky enough to kill him. I almost died outside." "You are the only one who knows how to behave!" Nie Yannian glared at Meng Yuan, and then said to Ren Debiao, "If you don't have a good background and want to make a difference, you can only work hard, kid!"

"Yes." Ren Debiao clenched his fist and lowered his head to respond.

Nie Yannian said no more. He came to the bluestone where Venerable Dawei sat when he preached and raised his chin towards Meng Yuan.

I have to do all the dirty work, right? Meng Yuan walked forward honestly, lifted the bluestone, and saw a tunnel.

The tunnel is only about ten feet deep and you can see the end at a glance.

There was nothing much inside, just two dead dogs, a few sacks of herbs, and a tattered bundle.

Nie Yannian took out the bundle, opened it and saw a few pieces of silver and a tattered monk's robe.

There is no text or any marks.

"Since there are no written words on it, he might really be a Zen master of sudden enlightenment." Nie Yannian muttered to himself as he looked at the cassock.

After checking the surroundings again and seeing that there was nothing to be gained, Nie Yannian told them to go down the mountain, "You killed the wolf, you should carry it back yourself!"

The wolf weighing about 200 pounds was not considered heavy. Meng Yuan carried the wolf on his back without saying a word.

Nie Yannian was walking in front, so he naturally wouldn't help. Ren Debiao didn't want to lend a hand either, but his face became uglier.

Meng Yuan had not recovered his strength after the battle, and he felt exhausted after walking for a while. In addition, the spring rain had not stopped yet, and the mountain road was slippery, so he could not help but stumble and fall.

Nie Yannian walked for a while and then stopped to wait, still smiling, but Ren Debiao remained silent.

Meng Yuan did not ask them for help. He just gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and walked down the mountain.

By midday, the spring rain had stopped and we had finally left the mountain. The head of the medicine shop was already waiting with a few villagers, pulling a donkey cart.

When the villagers saw the giant wolf's corpse, they were so frightened that they cried out in fear.

"This..." The village head also looked very unhappy. He stared at the wolf corpse for a while, then said, "Master Nie, the village has prepared food and hot soup. Let's take a hot bath and eat some hot food first."

Nie Yannian nodded, pulled Ren Debiao over, whispered a few words to him, and then Ren Debiao rode away on his horse towards Songhe Prefecture.

Meng Yuan was already exhausted. He threw the wolf's body onto the donkey cart and simply lay down on the cart, using the wolf's belly as a pillow.

"Are you weak now?" Nie Yannian came over, sat on the donkey cart, and handed the water bag to Meng Yuan with a smile.

Meng Yuan didn't want to take it, but the fur on the wolf's big belly pricked his face, so he sat up again, took the water bag, and drank it for a long time without taking any action.

"You want not to offend anyone, but if you have gains and they don't, then you have already offended them! Otherwise, why wouldn't they lend you a hand?" Nie Yannian kept laughing.

"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. It is a favor for him to help me, and it is his duty not to help me. I don't care what he thinks, and I don't expect him to help me. As long as he doesn't provoke me, I will still respect him. If he provokes me, I have beaten the son of Manager Liu before." Meng Yuan said.

"Hey! You kid have really made some achievements in studying!" Nie Yannian looked Meng Yuan up and down, smiled, and said nothing more.
