Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

After thanking the noodle shop owner, Chen Ming turned and left.

After Chen Ming left, the noodle shop owner took out his phone and dialed a number.

After the call connected, the noodle shop owner said, "Boss, I just saw Li... Chen Ming. As you instructed, I told him about how Chen Mu sent Li Dashan and his wife to prison."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh? How was Chen Ming's performance? Did he show any hatred?"

The noodle shop owner shook his head: "Chen Ming just frowned; he didn't show any hatred or anything."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before the voice continued, "Okay, get the money at the usual place."

Upon hearing this, the noodle shop owner beamed with joy: "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss! You can come to me for things like this again in the future. I'm very familiar with Chen Ming."

"We'll see."

In an internet cafe unknown to the noodle shop owner, a wiry man was listening to the phone call; it was Lao Mo.

As the call ended, Lao Mo dialed another number: "Brother Chen, this is Lao Mo."

This was an agreement between him and Chen Mu. If it weren't for this statement, Chen Mu would know that the person on the other end wasn't Lao Mo.

"A discovery?"

Old Mo nodded: "Just as Brother Chen predicted, Xiao Ming's neighbor does indeed have other people's informants."

"The voice has been altered, and the card number is a one-time invalid number, making it very difficult to find out who it is."

Chen Mu remained silent for a moment. He left Lao Mo in Luocheng to see if the person who had schemed against the Chen family and caused Chen Ming to lose his position would deliberately try to make Chen Ming hate the Chen family.

Things unfolded as he had predicted, but the other party was too cautious, like an eel, difficult to catch.

Old Mo didn't hear a reply from the other end, so he continued, "But they said to pick up the money at the usual place, so I'm planning to go there and check if any fingerprints have been left."

"Okay, Lao Mo, be careful and prioritize your own safety."

"become."

……

At this moment, John had already brought Chen Zhou to Taoye Temple.

Taoye Temple is located on Taoye Mountain, a famous mountain in the area, covered with peach trees and with beautiful scenery.

In addition, the head monk of Taoye Temple has a very good appearance, like a highly accomplished monk, which makes Taoye Temple a popular place of worship.

Because of the large number of tourists, John and Chen Zhou used the passage reserved for monks of Taoye Temple, which allowed them to enter the temple directly.

Chen Zhou used an invisibility spell, so no one saw him along the way.

The man and the soul swaggered into the dining hall of Taoye Temple. John said as he walked, "Master usually comes to the dining hall to eat vegetarian food at this time, so we will definitely see him."

At this moment, Zhenyan was eating a large bowl of rice with vegetables in front of him.

Some passing monks asked with some confusion, "Zhi Chu, are you not having a good appetite today?"

As Zhenyan looked up, preparing to answer, he saw John walking towards him.

He stood up, his pupils wide: "John, you... what, what happened?"

The eyes of truth see the living and the soul differently.

When seeing strangers, Zhenyan's perspective is no different from that of ordinary people.

But when you see the souls, they are outlined in black and white lines, like an uncolored painting.

At this moment, John's perspective is black and white.

In other words, John is dead.

"Brother John." The monk who greeted him turned around but didn't see John. He asked with some confusion, "Abbot, Brother John isn't here."

The mantra did not answer the monk, but looked at John.

John said, "Master, let's talk in your room."

Zhenyan nodded, picked up the rice and dishes on the table, and walked towards his room.

Upon arriving at Zhenyan's room, Chen Zhou appeared.

This did not surprise Zhenyan.

Because John had already told him the whole story on the way there.

Therefore, in Zhenyan's eyes, Chen Zhou was nothing more than an extraordinary person with special abilities.

In today's terms, he would be considered a research-oriented superhuman.

Zhenyan looked at the strange man sitting leisurely drinking tea by his bedside and felt that this person did not seem like a young man.

After a moment's thought, Zhenyan spoke, "I understand Benefactor Chen's intentions, but I would like to know if Benefactor Chen's bringing my disciple's soul here carries any intention of provocation?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "No."

The mantra asked, "Why?"

Chen Zhou frankly replied, "I'm not worthy."

Logically speaking, such words should be considered provocative, but Zhenyan did not perceive any provocation in them.

In other words, the person in front of him genuinely felt that Taoye Temple was not worthy of his effort to provoke it.

It's wild, yet also quite ordinary.

Zhenyan paused, then continued, "My Peach Leaf Temple, besides John, has one Grandmaster, three with the Gang Jin skill, five with the Hua Jin skill, twenty with the An Jin skill, and thirty with the Ming Jin skill. Where does Benefactor Chen get the confidence to think he is unworthy?"

Chen Zhou thought for a moment: "Does the master really want to know?"

Zhenyan nodded, ready to speak, "Please enlighten me, Benefactor Chen."

Chen Zhou shook his head: "It's not really about giving you pointers, it's just showing you my skills."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou activated his Eye of Truth, drawing upon a portion of the faith within Peach Leaf Temple that had been infused with mantras.

In a split second, Zhenyan felt that he heard the sounds of Taoye Temple... no, it should be the sounds of the entire Taoye Mountain, and saw the scenery of the entire Taoye Mountain.

With a slight thought, his entire body floated up.

It was as if he had attained Buddhahood.

Before Zhenyan could fully experience this vision and his five senses, his vision returned to normal.

Zhenyan looked at Chen Zhou in surprise, his composure, cultivated for most of his life, instantly shattered: "Benefactor Chen, what was that just now?"

That feeling of being a living Buddha was something no one could remain calm after experiencing it.

Chen Zhou: "The World Through My Eyes"

"I just borrowed some of the faith of Taoye Temple so that you could experience it too."

"Now, do you think I have the right to say I'm unworthy?"

After a long silence, Zhenyan finally spoke, "Yes."

That perspective, that ability—no one in this world should be able to counter it.

After pondering for a moment, Zhenyan continued, "I can have Benefactor Chen examine my eyes. In exchange, could Benefactor Chen allow me to experience that feeling again?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "Your soul is too weak. You can only experience that perspective for a moment. Any longer and your soul will be destroyed."

Having faith requires one's own physical resources to keep up.

If the hardware can't keep up, there will be a one-second overload situation.

True words are very powerful in the mortal world, enough to rival a grandmaster.

But compared to the faith accumulated at Taoye Temple, that level of spiritual attainment and soul was utterly insignificant.

Excessive understanding, at best, leads to foolishness and folly.

In more serious cases, it could lead to the death of the true mantra user.

Chen Zhou only came to study the True Word Eye, not to kill anyone, so there's no need for him to kill the True Word Eye.
