Chapter 28 The Beggar's Acting Skills (Please continue reading)

The blind monk spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

But as the last word fell, the entire monastery was shrouded in a thick atmosphere of murderous intent.

The members of the body-moving team suddenly felt their vision go white, their breath catch in their throats, and then they collapsed to the ground.

In the empty Zen temple, only a slightly thin figure stood in front of the door, but from his slightly trembling hemp robe, it was clear that his frail body was bearing immense pressure.

Li Wushou vigorously activated the Divine Official's Yin Refining Technique, and a chilling aura suddenly emanated from his body.

The oppressive aura of blood and yang energy that was engulfing the meditation room was broken open, and Li Wushou stumbled and dodged to the side.

A powerful surge of blood energy rushed through the hall and crashed against the artificial hill behind them.

"Click~"

The mountain cracked instantly, nearly collapsing.

"Hi~!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Wushou hurriedly called out towards the meditation room.

"Master, wait! There's a misunderstanding!"

"Oh? A misunderstanding?"

The Six-Eyed Monk let out a cold snort. This group of nine corpse-carrying people had felt an extremely pure and cold aura ever since they entered the Blood Buddha's domain in the Zen temple.

The other eight corpse-moving teams gradually collapsed, but this kid still struggled to hold on, and even managed to break through the oppressive force of the Blood Yang!

With such abilities, and the fact that she happens to be part of a corpse-moving team, it would be a miracle if she said that her mother and son's evil spirits and blood-eyed demons had nothing to do with the other party! What a coincidence!
He put his hands together in prayer and chanted a Buddhist mantra.

"May Buddha have boundless compassion!"

The great Buddha, who was sitting in the Crimson Buddha Kingdom, trembled, and flesh mixed with facial features kept falling off the Buddha's body. The moment they hit the ground, they turned into twisted fleshy monsters, baring their teeth and claws, and rushed towards Li Wushou.

Li Wushou calmed his mind and focused his attention, constantly soothing the restless shadow.

He sensed that the shadowy figure was about to lose its patience, as if it wanted to swallow these things whole.

That won't do. If we don't expose this blind monk properly, things will get very complicated later.

Li Wushou hates trouble the most.

Seeing Li Wushou's serious demeanor, the blind monk snorted again.

The Blood Buddha phantoms were all formed from the condensation of divine soul and blood energy, yet this kid perceived them clearly.

"They can see right through you with their very souls, and you still say it's a misunderstanding?"

The blind monk became even more convinced of the boy's strangeness, and that it must be related to the spirit that had devoured his mother and son's eyes.

Seeing the monster rushing towards him, Li Wushou gritted his teeth.

Stand firmly with your waist straight, hands flat in front of you, continuously forming hand seals, and suddenly let out an angry shout:

"Absorb Yin energy and soul, refine Yin body, consume Yin energy throughout, and forge Yin spirit!"

"Swallow it!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow rose up behind him. This was not Li Wushou's shadow, but a soul-devouring shadow condensed by the priest's Yin Refining Technique.

The moment the Soul Devouring Shadow appeared, it lunged at a monster that rushed in front of it and then swallowed it whole.

"Ah~!"

The moment it swallowed, like swallowing magma, the Soul-Devouring Shadow continuously emitted black mist. Li Wushou clutched his neck and roared in pain.

"Hmm...? A priest's Yin-refining technique?"

The blind monk, who was originally preparing to capture Li Wushou and force out the divine soul behind him, suddenly froze in place.

Was that dark shadow the Soul-Devouring Shadow from the Priest's Yin-Refining Technique?

Seeing Li Wushou lying on the ground crying and howling in pain, the blind monk's eyes flashed, and he sneered.

"What a foolish brat, daring to use the divine art of refining yin to devour my blood yang energy?"

Despite this, the blind monk's murderous intent subsided somewhat. He chanted a Buddhist mantra once more and placed his clasped hands flat in front of his knees.

Out of the corner of my eye, the terrifying blood-red Buddhist kingdom vanished, and the eyeless monk, surrounded by six blood-red pupils, sat upright in the meditation hall.

"Ah~ah~"

Li Wushou rolled around in the yard a few times, yelling at the top of his lungs, but he felt a little embarrassed. It sounded rather dry.

Just now, I didn't hold on to it, and the shadow merged into the Soul Devouring Shadow, swallowing the monster born from the blood yang energy mixed with the power of the soul in one gulp.

He felt warm all over, as if he had been soaking in a hot spring. But his acting skills, inherited from the old beggar, were already ingrained in his bones. Li Wushou timed his actions perfectly, howled for a few more moments, and finally decided to stop.

In the instant he regained some strength, he shouted with all his might towards the meditation hall.

"Master, it's a misunderstanding. I have no knowledge of any spirits or eyes."

Seeing Li Wushou struggling to explain even as he lay dying, the Six-Eyed Monk's suspicions deepened.

"Are you a priest of the City God?"

After catching his breath for a moment, Li Wushou supported himself and sat down in the courtyard. After trying his best to calm his breathing, he explained to the Six-Eyed Monk:

"Master, not yet. Six days ago, I went to Zhengcheng to help the City Goddess cast a golden statue. The High Priest examined it and said that I was born with a yin spirit."

Although Li Wushou still spoke cautiously, his tone revealed an undeniable arrogance.

"The City God values ​​me highly and has bestowed upon me the art of refining Yin energy. He said he would test me in seven days, and if I passed, he would make me the chief priest of the City God Temple! So I really don't know what the evil spirits and the eyes are all about!"

Although the Six-Eyed Monk was disdainful of the boy's arrogance, it was indeed something to be proud of that a flat-headed boy could eat qi, even if he was on the path of a priest.

Where were you the night Old Master Ren moved the body?

"Um... I stayed home all night that night. Around 7 PM, Captain Li and Huang Dabing came to my house and asked me to move a corpse. But that night I was trying to comprehend Yin energy and refine Yin. Once I succeeded, I would be a high priest. Who would care about a corpse-moving team?"

At this point, Li Wushou became somewhat carried away with his pride, then seemed to realize something, stopped speaking, and glanced somewhat guiltily at the six-eyed monk in the meditation hall.

The Six-Eyed Monk looked at Li Wushou, whose expression was changing, and felt a sense of disdain.

A peasant is still a peasant; even if they rise to power, they still lack the foundation.

But at the same time, Li Wushou's words finally filled the gap in time that Li Erniu and Huang Dabing had missed.

It seems that's where the problem lies.

Could it really be the City God?

Thinking of this, the blind monk put his hands together again and chanted a Buddhist mantra.

"May Buddha see through all!"

Li Wushou's face fell, and he let out a wail: "Master, no!"

Behind the scenes, one's own shadow shrinks back into the body along the celestial ridge, casting a shadow over the physical body.

The Blood Buddha reappeared in the meditation hall, its vertical pupil suddenly opening between its brows, and a beam of blood-red light pierced through the hall, shining on Li Wushou.

Li Wushou felt a tingling sensation all over his body, his flesh and blood constantly writhing, as if countless insects were crawling under his skin.

"Ah~ah~"

Li Wushou imitated Chen Gou'er's cries, shouting loudly, his voice so shrill that even the Six-Eyed Monk became somewhat irritated.

After calling out for a while, it suddenly seemed to remember something. The dark shadow on its shoulder slowly contracted, and the red light scanned for a long time before suddenly stopping on Li Wushou's shoulder.

The City God's soul, which had been dormant for several days, was slowly awakened by the Blood Buddha's gaze. As if still grumpy from waking up, he gave a soft rebuke.

"who is it?"

The blood-red light paused for a moment, then suddenly dissipated!

The blind monk's face darkened. "Truly the City God!"

This smug kid, how come he's so highly regarded by the City God?
After repeatedly replaying the scene from that night in his mind, the Six-Eyed Monk finally came to a conclusion.

This lucky kid has caught the eye of the City God.

That night, he must have sensed the Qi and was about to consume it, with the City God's spirit protecting him.

At this time, they heard about the relocation of the corpse from the Ren family compound. Originally, the plan was probably to extract a living soul to help this kid refine his yin, but they happened to encounter the mother and child being possessed, so they were extracted as well.

As for those hundred blood-red eyes?
These past few days, the City God has already increased his demand for flesh and blood and facial features, so need I say more about the result?

It's probably already in the City God's belly!
The six-eyed monk's expression shifted, as if he were swallowing his pride and grievances.

Damn it, what did I, Buddha, do to deserve this?
