Chapter 73

"Amitabha! I wonder who the two benefactors are looking for?" A young monk asked Shen Ao.

"Little monk, we are..." Zhao Yuling said.

Before she finished speaking, Shen Ao covered her mouth.

"Go aside, don't make trouble! Little master, where is your abbot, Master Xuanci?" Shen Ao asked.

"The abbot is in the courtyard. I don't know why the benefactor is looking for him?" asked the little monk.

"It's like this. I was entrusted by a senior to pass on a few words to the abbot. That senior is an old acquaintance with your abbot." Shen Ao said.

"Oh, who is the senior that the benefactor mentioned?" asked the little monk.

"I can't tell you this, I can only tell you the code between the two of them: Lust, Caution!" Shen Ao said.

"This..." The little monk still looked embarrassed.

"Hehe! Little master, please!" Shen Ao secretly stuffed 20 taels of silver into his hand.

"Haha! It's easy to talk! Wait a moment, benefactor, I'll report to the abbot right away." The little monk smiled and stuffed the money into his sleeve, and then ran towards the Zen room.

"I'm going, didn't they all say that the monks are all empty? Why is this little monk so greedy for money!" Zhao Yuling's eyes were straightened the moment the little monk accepted the money.

"Hmph! So what about monks, they will starve to death without money." Shen Ao snorted coldly.

……

"Abbot! Abbot!" The young monk shouted at an old man in cassock.

"Xu Yuan, why don't you treat the pilgrims well, what do you want me for?" Xuan Ci said sullenly.

"Abbot! Outside... There is a person outside who said that he was entrusted to deliver a message to you." The little monk said out of breath.

"Send a message? Who is he, and who is he entrusted with?" Xuan Ci frowned.

"He didn't say it, he only said two words." The little monk said.

"Which two words?"

"Lust, Caution," said the little monk.

"!"

……

"Shen Ao, do you think that old monk will meet us?" Zhao Yuling asked.

"I don't know." Shen Ao said.

"Then what should we do? It's been so long, and the old monk hasn't come yet." Zhao Yuling said anxiously.

"If he really doesn't see me today, then I can only adopt the second plan." Shen Ao sneered.

"What plan?"

"Hit him in, until he comes looking for me!" Shen Ao said domineeringly.

"Amitabha!" Shen Ao had just finished saying the dharma name, and then the call sounded behind him.

Shen Ao turned around after hearing the voice, and saw a benevolent old monk appearing in front of him.

"You are Xuanci?" Shen Ao smiled.

"Amitabha! Benefactor, this old monk is the abbot Xuanci! I don't know what the benefactor has to do with this old monk?" Xuanci said.

"Hehe! Abbot, don't worry, let's talk about your business first." Shen Ao said.

"My business? Oh! I don't know what the benefactor wants to say?" Xuanci asked.

"Abbot, do you know Erniang Ye?"

"Hmm! This old monk has heard about her, this person is one of the Four Great Evil Men, nicknamed Do All Evil." Xuanci said.

"That's right, Erniang Ye is indeed a perpetrator of all kinds of evil, and she loves to play with babies the most." Shen Ao nodded.

"Benefactor, I don't know why you mentioned this kind of villain to the old monk?" Xuanci said.

"Pretend! Old monk, pretend again! My old lover doesn't even recognize me." Shen Ao said heartily.

"Master, I want to tell you a story." Shen Ao said.

"Benefactor, please tell me!" Xuanci asked.

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman who was gentle, beautiful, dignified and chaste. One day, a prostitute robbed the woman and wanted to do something wrong to her. Unfortunately, this scene happened to be seen by a traveling monk. The monk rescued her. After getting off the woman, I thought she was fine, but I didn't expect that the woman was drugged by the thieves. The monk was so anxious that he couldn't think of a way to save him. Finally, seeing that the woman was going to die, the monk went Make up your mind to use your own body as the antidote."

"Benefactor, where did you hear this story?" Xuan Ci could no longer calm down at this time.

"Master, you don't need to know where I heard it from. I just want to ask you, have you heard this story?!"

Xuan Ci's complexion had turned livid at this moment, and the eyes looking at Shen Ao were also gradually cold, showing a faint murderous air.

"Hmph! Old monk, it seems that I won't show you how powerful you are." Shen Ao said heartily.

"call!"

Shen Ao burst out with tyrannical true energy instantly.

"How is it possible! How can this person have such power at such a young age!" Xuan Ci said in surprise.

"Abbot, monks don't tell lies, don't you dare to admit what you have done?" Shen Ao withdrew his anger after speaking.

"This... this, alas! Nie Yuan, Nie Yuan! Benefactor, why do you still ask me when you already know everything?" Xuan Ci knew that Shen Ao already knew his secret, so he didn't intend to hide it anymore.

"Xuanci, do you know why Erniang Ye became a villain who committed all kinds of evil?" Shen Ao asked.

"This, I don't know."

"Because she once gave birth to a child for you!" Shen Ao said.

"What did you say! How is it possible?" Xuan Ci exclaimed.

"How is it impossible!" Shen Ao said.

"Then since she has a child herself, why does she want to hurt other children?" Xuanci asked.

"That's because someone injured her and stole the child." Shen Ao said.

"What! Who did this?!"

"A person whose wife and children were separated by you did it." Shen Ao sneered.

"People whose wives and children were separated by me? People whose wives and children were separated by my murder...How is it possible, I, Xuanci, have never had such a thing!"

"Think about whether you have done anything or not, now I will talk about my purpose." Shen Ao said.

"Benefactor, please tell me!" Xuanci said.

"As expected of the abbot of Shaolin, he can control his lust so quickly." Shen Ao admired secretly in his heart.

"I want to enter the Sutra Pavilion of your Shaolin Temple!" Shen Ao said.

"The Sutra Pavilion? The benefactor came to see me just to enter the Sutra Pavilion?" Shen Ao asked.

"That's right!" Shen Ao said.

"Benefactor, are you telling me so much to threaten me to hand over Shaolin martial arts? If so, then even if I, Xuanci, try to ruin my reputation, I can't pass on my Shaolin martial arts to the benefactor!" Xuanci said vigilantly.

"You think too much, your harmful 72 stunts are not worthy of my concern." Shen Ao said disdainfully.

Although the 72 stunts are extremely powerful, most of them are just some first-class martial arts, which are useless to Shen Ao.

"Then why did the benefactor enter the Sutra Pavilion?" Xuanci asked.

Xuanci knew that apart from the scriptures, there was martial arts in the Tibetan scripture pavilion, and an expert like Shen Ao would never threaten him with scandal because of a few scriptures, he must have some other purpose.

"Find someone!"

"Looking for someone? The benefactor is probably joking, there are only scriptures left in the Scripture Depository Pavilion except for a few monks guarding them, so there is no one there." Xuanci said in surprise.

"You don't need to worry about this, you just need to send away the monks in the Sutra Pavilion tonight!" Shen Ao said.

"No! The Sutra Pavilion is an important place in Shaolin, I can't let the benefactor mess around!"

"Okay, since you don't want me to mess around, you can go to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion with me tonight! But there can't be anyone else except you and me." Shen Ao said.

"Okay, I promise you!" Xuan Ci agreed to Shen Ao after thinking for a moment.
