Chapter 949: Monster Hunt (17)
Jing'an Temple
"Brother, I'm back."
Xuan Zhen looked at Xuan Yi and asked, "Have you dealt with the snake demon?"
Xuan Yi nodded with mixed emotions. Everything that happened now was caused by the snake demon.
Although he was filled with emotion, Xuan Yi did not show any flaws on his face. His expression was well managed. Xuan Zhen did not notice anything unusual and nodded, saying, "Then I feel relieved."
Xuan Zhen would never have thought that just for capturing a snake demon, he would end up sacrificing his own junior brother.
Not wanting to talk about the snake demon anymore, Xuan Yi changed the subject and asked with concern, "How is Senior Brother's injury?"
Xuan Zhen said worriedly, "I still can't get out of bed. There are many things in the temple, big and small, waiting for me to deal with them. I..."
Xuan Yi comforted him, "Brother, rest and recover. Don't worry. I will take care of the temple's affairs."
Xuan Zhen looked at Xuan Yi with relief and gratitude, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother."
Xuan Yi shook his head. "I am also the abbot of Jing'an Temple. This is my job."
Xuan Zhen patted Xuan Yi's shoulder and said, "You must be tired after coming back from such a long journey. You should rest early."
Xuan Yi stood up and said goodbye, "Brother, you should also rest early."
After Xuan Yi left Xuan Zhen's Zen room, he did not return to his own Zen room, but went to the main hall.
Xuan Yi knelt down devoutly on the cushion facing the golden statue of Buddha in the hall, "Buddha, I have sinned. I do not ask for your forgiveness, but only for your guidance."
Xuan Yi confessed his sins to the Buddha one by one, and finally asked, "Buddha, should I be expelled from Buddhism?"
The Buddha did not answer, but just looked at Xuan Yi with compassion.
"Ayi, instead of asking the Buddha, you should ask your own heart."
Xuan Yi turned and looked at Yun Shen.
Yun Shen met Xuan Yi's surprised gaze, walked step by step to the cushion next to Xuan Yi and knelt down, "Buddha, everyone says that Buddha is merciful and can save all living beings. I would like to ask Buddha for a favor. I wonder if Buddha can grant it?"
Yun Shen was speaking to the Buddha, but his eyes were always on Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi didn't know for a moment whether Yun Shen was praying to Buddha or to him.
Yun Shen turned his head to look at the Buddha statue and bowed three times earnestly. "There are many Buddhist disciples, and I only want Xuan Yi. I hope the Buddha will have sympathy and give Xuan Yi to me."
Xuan Yi said seriously: "Yun Shen, don't talk nonsense in front of the Buddha."
Yun Shen asked back, "I prayed to the Buddha sincerely, how can that be considered nonsense?"
Xuan Yi: "You..."
Yun Shen stood up and said, "The Buddha has already answered my request. You are mine now."
Xuan Yi was puzzled and asked, "When did the Buddha respond to your request?"
Yun Shen replied with reason and evidence: "I just made a wish in front of the Buddha. The Buddha did not refute it, so it was granted."
Silence is a sign of agreement, there's nothing wrong with that.
Xuan Yi: “…”
Xuan Yi was really afraid of Yun Shen's mouth. It was ok for him to talk nonsense in front of him before, but now he dared to say such disrespectful words in front of the Buddha.
Xuan Yi was afraid that if he continued talking, he would be punished by the Buddha, so he hurriedly pulled Yun Shen out of the hall.
After leaving the hall, Xuan Yi finally felt much more at ease and took the initiative to ask, "Why did you come to the hall? After all, you are a demon. Although you have the golden light of merit to protect your body, the Buddha's light still has a certain effect on you. Don't go to the hall casually in the future."
Yun Shen did not answer but asked: "Ayi, are you concerned about me?"
Without waiting for Xuan Yi to answer, Yun Shen continued, "I went to the main hall because I couldn't find A Yi. If A Yi had always been by my side, I would never have gone to that kind of place."
