The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 498 Did we burn down your temple? No way! (Please give me double monthly tickets)
The flames were crackling and burning continuously. The main hall, the side halls, the monks' quarters...

One by one, they made loud explosions and fell down one by one. The flames that Shen Le had ignited seemed to have their own intelligence. Without his instructions, they ignited and burned one by one:

In this place, every house and every inch of land was soaked in sin, and was burned clean in one fire!

Shen Le walked slowly forward in the flames. The flames seemed to have intelligence and automatically moved aside to make way for him.

Not only did it not catch fire on his clothes or backpack, it didn't even heat up his face, nor did it make him feel short of breath.

The wind swirled quickly in the ring of fire, gently lifting up his clothes and also providing him with enough fresh air, the cool and moist breeze from the mountains.

Shen Le checked every house along the mountain path and saw that all the houses were burned to the ground. Perhaps all the monks inside had escaped, or perhaps some did not escape. In any case, there were no corpses in sight.

Only some of the large and small Buddha statues were lucky enough not to be knocked down by the beams and pillars and still stood upright in the fire; some had already tilted but did not break into pieces.

Those peaceful, compassionate, and solemn faces, surrounded by the flames, appeared bright or dim, as if they had turned into evil spirits.

"Logically speaking... I shouldn't destroy you." Shen Le walked slowly into the main hall, walked to another statue of Guanyin lying on the ground, and looked down at the smile on Guanyin's lips:
"But I don't know if you are made of blood and soil like the one outside... So..."

sorry!

If there really is a Guanyin Bodhisattva in this world, if you are innocent here, if you are angry that I destroyed your Buddha statue, then all the retribution will come upon me alone!

He stared at the Buddha statue in front of him, silently thinking, silently sensing the power of heaven and earth. Then, he stamped his feet hard -

"Wow!"

The Buddha statue broke into pieces, breaking into pieces as big as a human head, then into pieces as big as fists, then into pieces as big as longans, and finally into gravel all over the ground.

A black gas rushed out from the Buddha statue, circling in panic, trying to rush towards Shen Le, but was burned to ashes by his protective fire ring.

Shen Le stared at the black energy, a sneer appeared on his lips:
"Very good, has this Buddha statue become a place where filth and dirt are hidden, and a nest for evil spirits? Avalokitesvara, you are merciful and compassionate, and you save people from suffering. This is probably not your original intention.

Then, I will clean up the filth for you and make this Zen temple clean!"

Filled with rage, he walked past all the Buddha statues one by one, cleaning and destroying them one by one.

All the Buddha statues in the main hall, side halls, monks' dormitories, by the mountain path, and in the bamboo forest collapsed one by one, and the black air inside was expelled one by one.

Finally, Shen Le searched the Guanyin Temple three times and could not find any trace of black air.

Forget it, let's stop here. Although setting a fire in Japan won't get you a life sentence - if you were going to be in prison, you would have been in prison a long time ago, so this little bit doesn't matter - but the trees and bamboo forests on the mountain are innocent after all...

He retracted the flame and stopped outside the temple. He took a long breath and looked up at the mountains:
The sky was already getting light, but the mountain was shrouded in mist, and the entire mountaintop was gloomy, with only the area burned by the fire showing a little light.

Shen Le leaped up and ran all the way to the top of the mountain, where he felt the dew dripping from the bamboo leaves:

It is said that this temple was damaged by a mudslide or something. So, should we try it again?

Or should we leave it exposed in broad daylight to serve as a warning to the locals?
He looked down at the scorched earth below the mountain, pondering for a while. After a while, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and the rapid roar came closer and closer.

Shen Le looked up and saw a helicopter flying towards him. The logo on the helicopter looked familiar...

[Are they attacking? Do you want me to kill them? ]

Xiao Youdeng asked excitedly. He had been making a fuss with Shen Le all night, killing people all night, and was now full of energy:

He killed a lot of bad guys!
So many!
Those guys who were humming, emitting black smoke, and running around everywhere, all those who tried to run out were killed by him!
According to Shen Le, those guys are accomplices of the guy who injured Yun Kun - moreover, they are the worst accomplices who have done a lot of bad things and killed many people!

He was just awesome for taking down so many people!

"Forget it, let's stop here today." After being asked by Xiao Youdeng, Shen Le came to his senses.

Some people have already come, and some people have already seen it, so there is no need to start a mudslide in front of them - it is better to keep all the trump cards hidden...

He turned and disappeared into the bamboo forest, disappearing from the sight of everyone on the helicopter. In a moment, he sank into the ground, following the direction of the earth vein, and was teleported back to the hot spring hotel.

First, find a secluded place to show up and let the small oil lamp walk around to make sure that no official personnel have arrived and no one is lying in ambush to catch him.

Shen Le leisurely packed his luggage and went to check out.

There was a commotion at the front desk of the hot spring hotel. Some people wanted to check out immediately, some wanted check-out fees, some wanted compensation, some wanted the hotel staff to accompany them to see a doctor, some wanted medical expenses...

This hot spring hotel, which has been passed down for 300 years, is extremely famous, and of course the price is very attractive. The people who come to stay here are either rich or noble.

No one wanted to let it go after being frightened for no reason. In contrast, Shen Le, who quietly checked out and asked for nothing but to leave, was simply the savior of the hotel...

His request was naturally responded to quickly. After completing the formalities, Shen Le walked out of the hotel and found a secluded place to sink into the ground.

Go back to the Consulate!
Alas, they must be getting anxious over there. Whether I take a plane home or teleport home directly, I have to give them a message...

By the way, if I wasn't teleporting home, I would have to ask them to help me buy a mobile phone. These days, it's really hard to move around without a mobile phone!

The consulate was about to explode. When Shen Le was full of anger and killing people, the guy from the Special Affairs Bureau and his colleagues were running around in the consulate:
"Where is Shen Le?"

"What is Shen Le doing now?"

"Shen Le...is he in danger?"

That's the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!

It's a high-level ghost riot!
Shen Le threw their colleagues back to the consulate and rushed back alone!

"He is so impulsive!" The guy from the Special Affairs Bureau turned around and hit his thigh again and again.

He hated himself for reacting too slowly and not being able to hug Shen Le in time, and he also hated himself for being too weak in fighting ability and not being qualified to enter, so he could only be thrown to a safe place:

"How is it now? Is it connected?"

[Hello, the user you dialed has been powered off, please call again later...]

He kept calling, and calling. He called seven or eight times with the same result. Worried about being blocked by Shen Le, he asked a colleague to call again.

I called both my personal phone and the consulate's office phone, but the result was always the same:

"He turned off his phone?"

"Did he get caught?"

"It shouldn't be... If we get caught, the other party should keep their phone on and wait for us to call them at any time so that we can collect evidence..."

"Or maybe the phone was damaged during the fight? How fiercely did he fight? He couldn't even save his phone!"

"I hope not... His portable spirit can use extremely strong electric currents to attack. Maybe it's because the surrounding electric field is too strong..."

"Keep calling! Until you get through! Well, it doesn't matter what he did, I just hope nothing happens to him..."

A group of people were milling around, and they had to put up a fence to seal off the area where Shen Le appeared.

People often come and go here, either doing business or looking for someone. If someone sees him popping up...

"Family, guess what I saw! A person emerged from the mud! It wasn't a special effect! It wasn't someone crawling out of a well!"

The self-media these days is really a headache... Moreover, they dare to shoot and broadcast anything, without considering whether it disturbs others or their privacy...

The staff in the consulate were on guard outside, and the guy from the Special Affairs Bureau who was accompanying Shen Le was walking around in circles inside the fence.

From late night to early morning, and from early morning to dawn, there was no news.

The Special Affairs Bureau does not have enough manpower abroad, especially in such a small place. They want to transfer people from other places... The nearest place with sufficient manpower is the Embassy in Japan...

The consulate is of a lower level than the embassy. One has to report to the higher authorities, explain the situation, request instructions, and bow one's head and accept scolding.

After the embassy has arranged its personnel, the nearest personnel will set off and rush to their destination...

"Are you there yet?"

"Are you there yet?"

"How's it going over there?"

"How should I know what's going on?!" The operative who was picked up in the middle of the night was full of anger and poured it all out on his colleague:

"I haven't even left the metropolitan area yet! There's a traffic jam!"

"Ah... there's a traffic jam in the early morning?"

"Why isn't there a traffic jam in the early morning? There is a traffic jam around the Pentagon in the early morning!"

The young man from the Special Affairs Bureau was restless. Just when he was about to rub the ground inside the enclosure to make a big hole, a loud shout suddenly came from outside:
"Shen Le! Shen Le is back!!!"

The young man lifted the fence and rushed out. After rushing out of the circle of colored strips, Shen Le was surrounded. A large group of staff members were talking at once, and everyone was asking questions:

"Are you ok?"

"Are you hurt?"

"What did you do?"

"Did you have a conflict with them?"

"Did you kill anyone? How many people did you kill?"

"Uh……"

Shen Le had a trolley case in his left hand and another in his right hand. He smiled shyly and was asked questions so many times that he didn't have time to answer.

He spotted the guy from the Special Affairs Bureau in the crowd, and quickly squeezed over to him, handing him the box in his hand:
"Well, your luggage - sorry, the car is too big, I can't get it back..."

Is now the time to worry about the car?!
The young man from the Special Affairs Bureau wanted to roar. However, before he could shout, his hand felt lighter and the box was pulled over:
"Send it for inspection! See if it's contaminated or has any abnormalities!"

Ah, this... You guys didn't send Shen Le's box for inspection, so you took my box...

Just treat me as a soft persimmon?
The young man was angry but dared not speak. Fortunately, after this interruption, the crowd gathered around Shen Le finally dispersed a little.

Most people were doing what they were supposed to do. Only a middle-aged man with a serious face invited Shen Le into the consulate building, a conversation room with a relaxing and leisurely decoration.

After Shen Le settled down comfortably and sipped a cup of hot tea slowly, the other party smiled and asked:
"Mr. Shen, you have worked hard. Thank you for sending our colleague out of danger as soon as possible and protecting his life. By the way, can I ask what you did last night?"

"Oh……"

Shen Le hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to use the most straightforward way of communication:
"I killed the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and then burned down the Guanyin Temple over there..."

"puff……"

The middle-aged man who asked the question had just picked up the teacup and was about to drink the tea when he almost spit it out. Burnt, burned, burned...

"Burn it all?! Did anyone get killed?"

"It's all burned clean." Shen Le nodded seriously:
"All the temples, monks' quarters, and houses that could be seen were burned down, and even the Buddha statues were smashed. There may have been dead people, but I didn't see any, and I didn't deliberately go after them."

The middle-aged man heaved a long sigh of relief. Shen Le's destructive power was really strong. Without weapons or large machinery, he burned down such a large temple alone in one night...

He didn't even have gas!
It seems that Shen Le's combat power needs to be re-evaluated. The attack power of his fireball seems to far exceed the data left by the previous test...

He leaned back in his seat, his chest rising and falling for a while. Then, he suddenly clenched his fist and waved it fiercely:
"here you go!"

I've wanted to do this for a long time!
That dilapidated temple known as the "little god's toilet"!
What a huge debt of blood!

If it weren't for his official status, if he didn't have to take various things into consideration, he would have wanted to burn that broken thing, smash it, and destroy it all!
Alas, it is better to be a civilian. You have more freedom and can do whatever you want. As long as you can escape...

Shen Le relaxed all of a sudden. Very good, he knew that the authorities would definitely support him——

Even if we can't say to the devil openly, "Well done, beautifully done, you'd better do it a few more times", secretly, we must be inclined to him.

That’s convenient. From now on, he will have a lot of freedom whether he wants to fight or escape!
"By the way, what do you think of next?"

The middle-aged man smiled and asked slowly. Shen Le hesitated for a moment:
"If I buy a ticket from a domestic airline to go back home, will it pose a safety threat to domestic flights?"

"You want to return home through normal channels?"

The middle-aged man sat up straight. Shen Le nodded first, then shook his head:

“I don’t know if they will notify customs and arrest me directly… although I can still escape if they arrest me.

But if I send them a message and let them know that I'm back, they can relax a little, right? I'm afraid they'll shoot down the plane... Otherwise, should I buy a ticket from a foreign airline? "

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. In the current international situation, generally speaking, it is unlikely that such a cruel act as shooting down a passenger plane would happen.

Even if it was really shot down, it was a mistake, a mistake between the two sides in the war zone. The situation between our country and Japan has not yet reached this point.

However, foreign airlines can do a lot of tricks. The simplest one is that once you get on the plane, the plane turns and flies to another country...

It seems that Shen Le's teleportation ability requires the use of the power of the earth veins. It may not be possible to teleport in the air, right?

Furthermore, if you go back through normal channels now, it is still very easy to be detained. Even if Shen Le has many tricks, he can't stand the opponent's home field, and there are many operations:
For example, setting up a barrier beforehand;

For example, a group of soldiers armed with tranquilizer guns were ambushed in advance;
For example, an ambush with a sniper rifle, just kill...

He thought about Shen Le's safety, the country's position, and the pressure on the consulate's external communications, and made a decisive decision:

"No. You'd better not take the risk. Just teleport back and we'll help you fill in the entry record. As for leaving the country, you won't go through the normal channels when you come to Japan in the future, right?"

Shen Le couldn't help but lean back and smile. Okay, the organization will cover him, that's great.

He clapped his hands and stretched comfortably:

"Okay, I'll go back first. By the way, if you have anything to do in the future, remember to look for me!"

He grabbed the suitcase with one hand, closed his eyes slightly, and began to sense the direction of home.

A second before the transmission started, I seemed to hear someone shouting:

"Let us explain? - Explain what? Our people were attacked over there, and we want them to explain!"

　New Year, New Year, New Atmosphere. Cat wishes you and your family good health, longevity, happiness and contentment in 2025!

　　I ask everyone to vote for double the monthly ticket and wish the cat and his family health and happiness...

　　By the way, I recommend a book: Longevity from Fishermen
