Chapter 202: The Ape and the Master
"I won't leave. I want to stay here with my master." The monkey sat down in the cave, hugging a protruding stone on the ground, and refused to get up no matter what.
Although it was still wearing the copper ring lock, it did not realize that it was a prisoner at all.
Qing He rolled his eyes in disdain and said only, "Trouble."
He had just said that there was no need to worry about the monkey, just lock it up and throw it into the storage bag, to ensure that it wouldn't cause any trouble and wouldn't disturb Bai Fuling and the others in their work of settling the wronged souls.
But Bai Fuling would not listen, she felt sorry for the monkey's loyalty to his deceased master. Especially after learning about the monkey's history of revenge over the past century, she felt even more sorry.
The monkey had originally determined that Bai Fuling was his enemy. No matter how exaggerated her words were, he firmly believed in his own judgment.
But when Bai Fuling brought it to the cave and saw the blood lotus in the pond, the monkey was no longer so sure.
It walked to the side of the pond and was so excited that it wanted to jump into it immediately, but it was too guilty to dare to get too close.
This is the master's golden lotus. Even though it has now been contaminated and turned into a blood lotus, it can still be recognized at a glance.
It stood beside the pond, looking at the blood lotus in the pond carefully, and couldn't help murmuring.
"If you want to be a dragon or elephant among the Buddhas, you must first be a cow or horse. Do not seek comfort for yourself, but wish for all living beings to be free from suffering."
These two sentences were the scriptures that the master taught it most often. As the monkey recited them, he could not help but shed tears, and soon the hair on its face became wet, sticking to its skin in strands.
Bai Fuling and Xiao Douzi had never seen any monster cry like that before, and they looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
The two little guys, the golden bamboo fish and the snow rat, had their eyes opened wider than each other, as if they were watching some Western show.
The Snow Rat, in particular, enjoyed watching the fun and even imitated others crying. When it had no tears, it used saliva instead, covering its face with spit. Then, Bai Fuling hit it on the head.
"Jin Lai..."
A vague voice entered the monkey's ears. The monkey was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the blood lotus in the pool in disbelief.
It was the master who called me just now, it was the master!
There is still a trace of the master's soul in this blood lotus! The master must have heard me chanting just now, he must have!
The monkey was so excited that he was about to jump into the pool, but was stopped by a transparent barrier outside the pool.
"Open the barrier and let me in! I just heard my master calling me! I want to go and accompany him!" The monkey slapped the barrier frantically, not caring at all that his face was covered with snot and tears.
A hundred years have passed, and it turns out that a trace of the master's soul is still alive.
The monkey's eyes became redder and redder at the thought of seeing his master again. God knows how much he missed his master.
"No!" Bai Fuling had not forgotten the blood lotus's ability to confuse people, and she refused firmly.
There was no way she could open the barrier and let it in in the first place, and it was even more impossible after hearing its nonsense.
What do you mean the master is calling you? Are you sure you are not deceived by the Blood Lotus?
The monkey was confused about the situation, but Bai Fuling was very clear-headed.
"Heh...heh..." Hearing the rejection, the monkey roared at Bai Fuling fiercely.
However, it is now wearing a copper ring lock and cannot use sound waves, so it can only express its dissatisfaction like an ordinary monkey.
Bai Fuling was not scared away by its scolding.
"This blood lotus will confuse people's minds. If you go in, you will definitely be confused. If you pull out the blood lotus when you are not sober, it will affect the purification! If the monk's residual soul is polluted again, there will be no hope."
Although what Bai Fuling said is a bit exaggerated, it is still true.
Since this monkey cares so much about its master, it should listen to him a little.
The monkey groaned unwillingly a few times, turned around anxiously, and finally had to calm down by chanting scriptures.
The master said that one should not be impatient when encountering problems.
Although it didn't trust this woman, it had to admit that what she said made sense.
If the blood lotus leaves the spiritual pond, the remaining soul of its owner will definitely be polluted again.
After all, this blood lotus is still emitting black gas.
But it was very sure that it was its master who was calling it just now, and it was definitely not the Blood Lotus's illusion.
"Don't think I will believe you!" Although the monkey's suspicion of Bai Fuling was about to collapse, it still persisted.
After all, if this woman is the daughter of Mu Laogou, she cannot be trusted.
But isn’t this woman really the daughter of Mu Laogou?
If she was really the daughter of Mu Laogou, she would never put the golden lotus in the spiritual pond water for purification.
However, it had suffered too much at the hands of Mu Ning, so even so, it did not dare to fully trust Bai Fuling.
After all, who knows if this is another trap, waiting for it to let its guard down and jump into it.
Thinking of the remaining soul of his master, the monkey made up his mind that he must stay here.
Moreover, when it was chanting just now, its owner clearly called it, which means that the owner responded to the sound of its chanting.
Moreover, the sound of its chanting can drive away evil spirits and remove impurities. With it chanting, perhaps the impurities on the blood lotus can be removed faster, so that it can turn back into a golden lotus sooner.
Thinking of this, the monkey took out the scripture again and picked out a few words.
It is now wearing a copper ring lock, and its spiritual power is sealed. When the font is pulled out, it cannot attack, but can only purify the mind.
But before the golden font could land on the blood lotus, it was blocked by a transparent barrier outside the pool.
The golden font collided with the barrier, creating ripples on the barrier and flashing colorful halos.
Colorful halo! This is the barrier set up by a Mahayana master.
I almost got fooled!
With the cultivation level of that woman and child, how could they possibly set up such a high-quality barrier!
Who are the people behind them?
The monkey immediately thought of the god of Muyun City and the barrier in front of the female statue.
This is another trap!
"Ha...ha..." The monkey scratched his arm in extreme anger.
It felt a rush of blood to its forehead, and it wished it could rush over and tear the woman apart immediately.
But the master said that we need to stay calm when encountering things.
The ape chanted silently, forcing himself to calm down.
It looked at Bai Fuling and Xiao Douzi warily.
With its current abilities, it would be difficult for it to even escape, let alone break the barrier and take away the golden lotus.
Moreover, considering the master's current condition, it cannot take the golden lotus away, otherwise the master's remaining soul will definitely continue to be polluted.
Unless it can be like that woman, get a big cauldron, fill it with spiritual pond water and put its master's golden lotus into it.
If the monkey didn't want to leave at first because it couldn't bear to leave its master, now it is just worried.
The monkey made up his mind and sat beside the pond, holding on to the protruding stone and refusing to let go, insisting on staying in the cave to accompany Blood Lotus.
Bai Fuling had no idea that the monkey had so many twists and turns in his mind. As soon as she urged him, he slapped her in the face and slapped her back.
"Just beat it up and take it away! It will only cause trouble if it stays here!" Qing He was too lazy to watch Bai Fuling wasting time here, and reminded, "The matter of the wronged soul should be dealt with sooner rather than later, and it is better to deal with it faster rather than slower!"
"I understand!" Bai Fuling knew this very well, so she never intended to let the monkey stay here.
After all, there is no food in the cave. If the monkey stays here, it will have to go in and out. It would be bad if it attracts someone.
Moreover, the monkey has such a good relationship with its master that it is inevitable that it will be bewitched. If it breaks the barrier and pulls out the blood lotus, it will be a loss.
Another point is, as Qinghe said, its owner is completely dead, so why can it still live for a hundred years?
Especially during this period, it caused trouble for the Lord of Muyun City more than once.
Judging from the things in the city lord’s private vault, the city lord has special methods and magical tools to deal with monsters.
Qinghe doesn't believe that the monkey can escape again and again with just this ability.
It is hard to say that the Lord of Muyun City has no other ideas or plans about the monkey. If this is true, leaving the monkey here is tantamount to sending a signal to the other party.
Bai Fuling cannot ignore the above disadvantages.
When Bai Fuling brought the monkey back just now, she knew that what she did was not rational at all.
In fact, the most correct approach is to ignore the monkey's commotion and deal with the matter of the wronged soul first.
But emotionally, Bai Fuling couldn't convince herself.
That’s why we are facing this situation now.
She couldn't talk about her feelings to the end, nor could she handle things completely rationally.
But Qinghe was right. The world of immortal cultivation was not a place where mercy was valued. If you were not careful, you would face life and death.
Although she is not used to it, she must take it seriously.
So she couldn't delay any longer. After all, this delay would not only waste her time, but also Xiaodouzi's life.
As long as the wronged soul is not dealt with, Xiaodouzi will be in more danger.
Bai Fuling hesitated for about a minute, then knocked the monkey unconscious and put it into the storage bag.
Of course, before packing the storage bags, Bai Fuling took them all to soak in the cold pond.
She didn't want anyone to come along and seek revenge upon her.
Most of the things looted from the city lord required bloodline marking, but she didn't have time to refine all those magic weapons again.
So we can only keep the blood mark, reveal it when we need it, and hide it when we don't.
An hour later, Bai Fuling led them out of the cave and once again boarded the flying magic weapon to find the place where the wronged souls lived.
However, the previous three days were wasted and I have to start all over again.
