Two monks?
The crowd looked at each other in dismay. At this ti, where did two monks suddenly appear from?
"Could it be Senior Brother?" The Wolf Monk suddenly exclaid, and everyone's expressions changed. Everyone knew that the Senior Brother the Wolf Monk referred to was undoubtedly the Buddhist Shakya!
The Buddhist Shakya, the only person who had ever trapped the Corpse Ghost Dragon. It was said that he had gone to find the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma passed away, hoping to find Bodhidharma's Secret Technique there to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. If it was really him who returned, had he already found the Secret Technique left by Patriarch Bodhidharma?
Everyone's expressions were clearly excited. If it was indeed Shakya who had co, then there would be so confidence in dealing with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Shakya was also an extraordinary person; with him here, at least everyone would feel more assured.
"Where are they?" Helian Tiehua hurriedly asked.
"Right at the door..." The man turned to point outside, just in ti to see two monks walking into the courtyard, and imdiately said, "It's them."
Everyone saw the two monks walking into the courtyard. One was wearing a yellow monk robe, and it was the Joyous Monk. The other, with his attire and appearance, could only be described as dirty and shabby, yet he was the current number one in the Buddhist Sect, Shakya!
It really was Shakya!
Everyone was even more excited and rushed out. From afar, the Wolf Monk imdiately walked over and said, "Senior Brother, you finally returned."
"Don't be excited, don't be excited." Shakya shook his head and waved his hand, beckoning to Helian Tiehua to co over quickly from afar.
"Master, you ca." Helian Tiehua went over, unable to contain his excitent.
"Nonsense, I'm already here, so of course, I'm here." Shakya rolled his eyes at Helian Tiehua and said, "Don't talk about useless things, quick, get so food ready, your Grandpa Shakya is starving!"
Everyone was speechless; this manner of speaking was indeed unique to Shakya. This number one in the Buddhist Sect didn't even look as solemn as the Bloody Monk; he was simply a rogue.
Fortunately, Helian Tiehua understood Shakya's character, and without delay, he imdiately turned around and instructed, "Hurry, prepare the vegetarian al."
"Vegetarian al, my foot. Bring at, bring at!" Shakya imdiately said, "I, the Buddha Master, don't eat vegetarian!"
"..." Everyone was completely speechless. Shakya, talking like a hooligan was one thing, but eating at? The key point was, he was making it very clear, saying he doesn't eat vegetarian. What the hell kind of joke was this? Is this still a monk?
Helian Tiehua was also both amused and helpless, and he gestured to his subordinates to prepare at dishes.
"Master, they're preparing it now; it will be ready soon." Helian Tiehua said, "Why don't we go to the main hall to wait for a while; you've traveled a long way, you must be quite tired."
Shakya slapped his thigh and said, "Exactly, you have no idea. Later in Shenchuan City, the ticket inspectors beca more and more regulated. The two of us almost got kicked off the train!"
"Why did they want to kick you off the train?" Huangfu Ziyu asked curiously.
Shakya said, "No ticket, of course, we were going to get kicked off. Your question is really sothing, young lady!"
"You... you evaded the fare?" Ye Qing widened his eyes. This Shakya wasn't a high monk who had achieved enlightennt; he was simply an old rogue! An old rogue who had lived for over two hundred years!
"What, is it not allowed?" Shakya shalessly glared back at Ye Qing.
"Al... Allowed..." Ye Qing was at a loss for words. At this point, he had to admit a fact. Shakya and Old Wang Ba were indeed similar, equally sleazy!
Back in the main hall, as soon as everyone sat down, Shakya imdiately said, "I know you all have a lot to say to , but don't waste your breath. I, the Buddha Master, am about to faint from hunger. Sat two days and two nights on a train, always outsmarting the train personnel, and didn't even have a al. Right now, I'm not in the mood to answer any questions. So, whatever you want to discuss, let's talk after I've had my al!"
Shakya's words imdiately left everyone speechless; those who wanted to ask questions also closed their mouths in resignation.
Fortunately, the manor was always stocked with food. Soon the dishes were brought up, Shakya ran straight to the table, grabbed a white-cut chicken without a word, and started devouring it. While eating, he pointed at dishes like the hairy crab and lobster, shouting, "What are these things? Where's the at? Where's the at?"
"Master, the texture of the hairy crab and lobster is better," Helian Tiehua said.
Shakya said, "Don't give any of that pretentious stuff; what kind of at is this? Beef and lamb, now that's real at!"
Helian Tiehua was completely speechless and gestured for his subordinates to bring more beef and lamb so Shakya could have his fill.
The Joyous Monk seed hungry too, but he didn't eat the at dishes. Instead, he asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of vegetarian noodles. I must say, the monks from Xiaolin Temple were quite a peculiar bunch, each one stranger than the last.
Shakya claid to be the number one in the Buddhist Sect today, but how did he resemble any Buddhist figure, eating at, drinking alcohol, cursing, and indulging in sleazy acts. The Bloody Monk was notorious for killing countless people, which was widely known. As for the Wolf Monk, he was no better than the Bloody Monk. As for the Joyous Monk, his situation was even more troubleso. He had as many romantic entanglents as his na suggested. Four monks, each with their unique style, truly a peculiar bunch.
Everyone sat on the side, watching as Shakya consud a whole chicken, a whole duck, two pounds of beef, a pound of lamb, and drank three bottles of newly opened Maotai, before letting out a long burp and sitting back satisfied, rubbing his belly.
After much difficulty, when Shijia finally finished eating, everyone imdiately gathered around. While others were still sowhat in awe of Shijia, Ye Qing was not polite and directly said, "You're full, right? Co on, let's talk business."
Shijia waved his hand, "Don't rush, let digest first..."
"Cut the crap!" Ye Qing directly interrupted him, saying, "Did you find a way to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon this ti?"
"No." Shijia replied very straightforwardly.
"No?" Everyone was astonished. The Wolf Monk urgently said, "Elder Brother, this is important, don't joke around."
"I'm not joking, I really didn't find a way to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon," replied Shijia.
"Then why did you co back?" Ye Qing demanded.
"What, you don't want to see ?" Shijia imdiately sat up straight and said, "If you don't want to see , then I'll leave right now, is that okay?"
"No, no!" Everyone hurried to stop Shijia, thinking that if this old fellow left, what would they do when the Corpse Ghost Dragon cos?
Seeing everyone trying to stop him, Shijia was even more invigorated and shouted, "Don't hold , don't hold . Just listen to the way this kid talks, is that how people talk? I'm not staying here, it's too aggravating, I've never been so insulted in my life."
This old guy, acting like a child wanting to play tricks, left everyone helpless.
"Don't hold him!" Ye Qing suddenly spoke, stopping everyone: "Let him go!"
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Ye Qing in astonishnt, and Shijia was also taken aback, then said, "Fine, Ye, rember you're the one telling to leave. I'm going now, nobody stop !"
"This..." Everyone was speechless, thinking what are these two doing, having a tantrum?
"You can leave..." Ye Qing blocked Shijia's way, "But, the things you just ate are worth one thousand seven hundred yuan, settle the bill first!"
"Uh..." Shijia suddenly softened a bit, looking at the things on the table, "Who are you trying to trick? Are these things worth one thousand seven hundred yuan? At most, I think it's worth two hundred yuan!"
Ye Qing said, "Two hundred yuan works too. Take out the money and you can leave."
"Uh..." Shijia fell silent again, as he had no money on him, not even two mao, let alone two hundred yuan.
Shijia said, "This... I didn't ask for the food, they deliberately put it in front of and insisted I eat it."
Helian Tiehua imdiately turned his head away, not wanting to get involved in this matter and figuring Ye Qing could handle Shijia anyway.
"Those were my things, I put them there, who told you to eat them?" Ye Qing said, "Stop talking nonsense, it's either two hundred yuan, or you'll stay here, make your choice!"
"You...you're trying to extort ?" Shijia said, "This is extortion, don't you understand?"
Ye Qing said, "Don't worry whether it's extortion or not, do you have money or not!"
"No... no money..." Shijia said helplessly.
"No money, then sit honestly here." Ye Qing pushed Shijia back into his seat. He could tell this old guy ca over just to give everyone a hard ti at first. He couldn't let him succeed, otherwise, who knows how he'd ss with everyone.
Seeing Ye Qing handle Shijia so effectively, everyone couldn't help but snicker, finding this old guy quite amusing.
"Master, let's stop ssing around," Shen Tianjun walked up, "In the past two days, we've faced the Corpse Ghost Dragon twice. The first ti, we were lucky that Divine Doctor An Shiping helped us, burning the Corpse Ghost Dragon with the Purple Lotus Karma Fire and forcing him to retreat. The second ti, we attacked them, creating a fake Purple Lotus Karma Fire, which scared him off and saved Broom Star. We estimate that he will try to attack Shenchuan City tonight. If we don't co up with a way to deal with him, it'll be dangerous!"
"What good does it do telling , I can't beat the Corpse Ghost Dragon," Shijia grumbled.
"Master, didn't you go to find the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma entered Nirvana? Surely you've found a way, right?" Helian Tiehua said, "Otherwise, why would you co to Shenchuan City?"
"Heh heh heh..." Shijia suddenly laughed after hearing this. Seeing Shijia laugh, the others felt slightly reassured and laughed along.
"Elder Brother, did you really find a way to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon?" the Wolf Monk urgently asked.
"Heh heh heh..." Shijia laughed even more happily, making everyone suspicious, wondering what this old guy ant.
"There is a thod, but..." Shijia suddenly looked at Ye Qing and said, "I need Ye Qing to do a big favor!"
