With a knife on your neck, you would rather die than leave? Niu Youdao was somewhat surprised.
He does not have a deep understanding of this world, but he has some understanding. The Buddha believed in in Buddhism here is not Sakyamuni, and there is no such person as Sakyamuni. There is another person, and Buddhism does not exist in this era. Prosperity seems to have once been a prosperous period. It probably flourished slightly during the Wu Dynasty. Later, it was affected by frequent wars. It has the flavor of the poem "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and there are so many towers in the mist and rain". Buddhism is gradually declining, and temples like Nanshan Temple are only seen here and there. I didn't expect that such a declining Buddhism could meet a bear demon with strong beliefs.
If I was just a little interested in the bear demon because I had never seen a demon before, now I am interested in the bear demon. I couldn't help but say, "I want to meet this demon who would rather die than surrender... Princess, please" Come back and have a rest early, there’s no need to send him away!”
Shang Shuqing was not pretentious, and took out an interrogation transcript from his sleeve, "I have read "Alien Beasts", and after reading this interrogation confession, I found that this bear monster seems to be on the list. , I don’t know if it’s right or not, I ask Master Dao to check it out for himself!” After offering his hands, he bowed slightly and turned around to leave.
The goblin on Alien Beasts? Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, and became more and more interested. He walked under a lantern hanging under the eaves, opened the confessions of the guards during the interrogation of the monks in Nanshan Temple, and read it. After reading it, he handed it to Yuan Gang for him to read as well. Look, he touched his chin and muttered, "The golden-haired bear is also invulnerable. Could it be the Golden King Bear in the Book of Alien Beasts?" He had also read the Book of Alien Beasts.
Yuan Gang hadn't read any records of strange beasts, he just browsed through the confessions to get a general idea of the situation.
Looking at Yuan Gang's put away confession, Niu Youdao smiled slightly and said, "This woman is a thoughtful and careful person. Let's go and meet the goblin."
The two of them found a personal guard and asked where the monks of Nanshan Temple were staying, and then rushed over.
In a small courtyard, about twenty monks were sleeping on the floor and crowded together in two rooms. The bear demon Yuanfang was also among them. There were also personal guards staying in the small courtyard.
After long journeys and hard work, most of the monks were extremely tired and snored and fell asleep. And the goblin was a goblin. Niu Youdao broke into the house. The monks were still sleeping soundly, except for Yuanfang, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating. Open your eyes. Seeing Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang, Yuanfang immediately got up and nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
Niu Youdao looked Yuanfang up and down. He was not tall. He looked like an old man. He was thin and slightly stooped. His complexion was dark, but he was in good spirits. He had a white beard and bright eyes. He was wearing a monk's clothes instead of casual clothes and a felt hat. His bald head was covered, but he could still tell from the area under his felt hat that he was bald.
Looking at the monk sleeping on the floor, Niu Youdao didn't bother him. He waved his hand and called Yuan Fang out of the room and into the living room of the small courtyard.
As soon as he entered the living room, Niu Youdao turned around and smiled at Yuan Fang who followed him: "Take off your clothes and let me see."
"Ah!" Yuanfang stared, hesitant.
Niu Youdao waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I've never seen a demon before. I want to see one."
I see! Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief and sighed. His helplessness was palpable. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a body of golden hair that had not completely transformed. He then stood there with his eyebrows lowered and his body shrunk, letting the people around him The two of them circled around to admire it with curious expressions on their faces. The hair on their bodies was pulled twice by Niu Youdao, but they endured the pain.
It doesn't matter if he can't bear it, he can resist, but the consequences of resisting will affect the monks of Nanshan Temple.
After turning around for a few times, Niu Youdao suddenly winked at Yuan Gang, and saw Yuan Gang smoothly pulling out the dagger attached to his leg and waving his hand with a cold light.
The sharp edge swiped across Yuanfang's body, swoosh! There was a sound of metal friction. It turned out that Yuanfang was indeed invulnerable, with no hair broken and no skin damaged at all.
Yuanfang was taken aback, turned around suddenly, and backed away repeatedly. His face was full of surprise and uncertainty. Why did he use the knife
However, Niu Youdao's interest remained undiminished, and he said cheerfully: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, um, show your original form and see." Seeing the other party's hesitation, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said "Yeah".
Yuanfang had seen Niu Youdao's methods before. Song Yanqing and the other three were not enough to beat him face to face. How could he be his opponent? He gave in under intimidation, slowly unfastened his belt and took off his pants. There was actually a pair of loose shorts inside. .
Taking off his clothes didn't matter. The key was being stared at by two grown men. He had cultivated himself to admire human nature, so naturally he felt ashamed.
After kicking off his shoes and removing the restraints, Yuanfang suddenly took a deep breath. That breath seemed to inflate his entire body. His limbs became thicker and larger, his face also became larger, and his bald head began to burrow. Golden hair appeared, and the skin on his face became twisted and black.
This process looks a bit disgusting and can easily scare people. However, Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang are not ordinary people. They have seen a lot of disgusting things such as corpses in graves. They have even seen zombies. This kind of situation does not scare them, but it does. This process of change surprised the two of them.
Yuan Gang, who was usually expressionless, also looked obviously curious.
In an instant, a big bear with shiny golden fur stood in front of the two of them like a bear. Its body was three times bigger than before. It was tall, majestic, and frightening. The baggy shorts were so puffy that they hung around her waist like a grass skirt. The flesh on the bear's paws and face is thick and dark, and the claws exposed are sharp.
It was an eye-opener to see something new. The two of them circled around the extra-large golden bear to admire it.
The golden-haired bear stuck out his tongue, and his dark eyes followed the two people who were circling around. There was innocence in his eyes, and he didn't know how long the two of them were going to appreciate it.
After a while, Niu Youdao gave Yuan Gang another look. Yuan Gang swung the dagger in his hand repeatedly, making several swishing metal friction sounds, but failed to break through the golden retriever's defense. Suddenly his gesture changed, and the dagger directly stabbed the golden retriever's thigh. Go up, this time the knife saw blood and penetrated less than half of it.
"Oh..." The golden-haired bear jumped away in pain and begged for mercy, "Can you two be so generous and let this poor monk go?"
Niu Youdao understood that this golden hair was indeed invulnerable, but its density was limited and could not block the direct thrust of sharp weapons. He waved his hand and said cheerfully: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please change back!"
The golden bear immediately shrunk like a deflated ball, and quickly returned to its round shape. He turned his back, pulled off the rag on his waist, briefly bandaged the injured area on his thigh, and then Limpingly, he picked up his clothes and put them back on.
After finishing dressing, Yuanfang stood there honestly, with a slightly sad look on his face.
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and said, "You have trouble with your legs and feet. Sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."
Yuanfang took two steps back and sat down, and began to accept Niu Youdao's detailed questioning. When talking about what he did in Nanshan Temple, he once again emphasized that he had done it just as he had confessed to Song Yanqing. More or less good things, showing that he is not a bad person.
Niu Youdao was delighted when he heard this. Regardless of whether it was for the purpose of revitalizing Nanshan Temple or for his own selfish purposes, making money was just making money. How could there be so many excuses to rob the rich and give to the poor just to give some relief to the villagers? Does that mean that if you do all the bad things and then do some good deeds, you can get away with it? It's also called the suppression of bandits, but it's clear that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There were too many robbers on one piece of land, which affected the financial resources of your Nanshan Temple, so the bandits were taken advantage of.
"How much money have you made in the past two years for making money and killing people?" Niu Youdao, who was sitting on the chair, crossed his legs and tapped his fingers on the coffee table.
Yuanfang shook his head and said, "No more money."
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Why, are you afraid that I will steal your money?"
Yuanfang shook his head with a grimace and said: "You misunderstood. The location of Nanshan Temple is too remote, and you can't get much money to feed so many people in the temple, as well as repair the temple after it is dilapidated, and occasionally give charity. The villagers only have a few hundred gold coins left, all of which were confiscated by the prince and others before, saying that it was the food and drink expenses for so many of us along the way!"
Niu Youdao laughed happily, not wanting to be robbed by Shang Chaozong and the others who were short of money. He smiled and said: "You monster, do you still feel aggrieved? You are lucky to have met us. How can you always walk by the river?" If you don't get your shoes wet, you will always make mistakes when doing dirty work. If you hide there and rob, you will run into trouble sooner or later. When you meet those monks who slay demons, you will lose your life. How about this, follow me from now on How about you hang out? I'll give you an identity that allows you to walk openly."
Yuanfang said with a sad face: "Master, please let me go. I promised the old abbot to maintain Nanshan Temple, and made a great wish in front of the Buddha to revitalize Nanshan Temple as my life's duty. If I violate this oath, I will be punished." Go to hell!"
Niu Youdao smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. If you mess with me, I will help you build the largest temple in the world."
Yuanfang raised his head in shock, "Really?"
Niu Youdao: "At least give you enough money to build the largest temple in the world."
Yuanfang felt that it was not very reliable. The main point was that he did not want to get involved in any disputes. After thinking about it for a while, he said weakly: "No need to go to so much trouble. I'd better find a way myself."
Niu Youdao sneered, "Don't give me face? I'll give you one last chance to think about it. Don't force me to fall out!"
Yuanfang's attitude changed immediately, and he nodded decisively: "Okay! From now on, follow the Master's instructions."
Niu Youdao turned his head and said to Yuan Gang: "If this goblin is not honest in the future, he will kill all the monks in Nanshan Temple!"
Yuan Gang nodded expressionlessly and glanced coldly at Yuan Fang, who was sitting opposite.
Yuanfang's expression twitched, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, we are all honest people!"
I accidentally acquired a goblin, I can study it slowly in the future! Niu Youdao stood up with satisfaction, "We have been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your name."
Yuan Fang then stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Poor monk Yuan Fang."
Niu Youdao said angrily: "You really take yourself seriously. Is that you Yuanfang? I want to ask your real name."
Yuan Fang responded, "I don't have a name either. People in the temple used to call me Xiao Jin."
"Xiao Jin?" Niu Youdao looked at his old man's appearance and pointed at Yuan Gang, "He is a monkey. From now on, I will call you Lao Xiong!"
Yuanfang immediately looked at Yuan Gang and said in surprise: "Are you a monkey?" You looked like you were hiding so deeply that I didn't notice. ,.
