It's normal for me to be a father to someone, right?

Chapter 27 "Picking Up"

In dilapidated temples, dilapidated meditation rooms, creaking and shaking wooden beds, an old monk with gray eyebrows was dying, looking lovingly at the young monk in front of the bed.

"Hui Hai, after I leave, you will be the only one left in this temple."

"Fortunately, I contacted your father two days ago. Counting the time, he should arrive soon."

"Hui Hai, remember, don't leave the Buddhist hall at night..."

After finishing speaking, the old monk slowly closed his eyes and remained silent.

The little monk couldn't help crying, "Master, you haven't told me what my father looks like..."

After the young monk buried the old monk, he sat at the gate of the temple and looked into the distance.

I don't know if my father looks good or not...

The young monk waited for a whole day, but did not see a single figure. At night, he kept the old monk's advice in mind, and stayed under the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall, listening to the strange noises outside.

There were knocks on the door from time to time, and there seemed to be faint and beautiful female voices calling him to go out... Fortunately, the little monk is only five years old, and he still doesn't understand this kind of temptation.

The night was spent peacefully. When the morning sun shone into the Buddhist hall, the young monks curled up slowly opened their eyes, and then washed and cleaned as usual.

While sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, the young monk looked up at the linden tree that had been there for as long as he could remember, and pondered the feasibility of cutting it down.

I can't finish sweeping the fallen leaves every day...

Later, the little monk thought, the old monk was dead anyway, so why did he still sweep the floor, so he threw away the broom and continued to run to the door and wait.

Finally, in the evening, a figure walked over crookedly.

The little monk's eyes lit up, is it daddy?

……

Lin Yi pulled the crooked Taoist robe on his body while walking. The system said that his original clothes were not suitable, so he picked up a Taoist robe.

It's a pity that the robe doesn't fit well.

The system didn't expect that its suggestion would be adopted by the host. After a short period of confusion, it was extremely ecstatic, and there was a strange sense of satisfaction.

Then it realized that the mission target this time is a young monk. As the father of a young monk, is it appropriate for the host to wear this Taoist robe?

However, the system didn't dare to continue to make suggestions. It's good for the host to listen to it once, and the system can't be too greedy...

"Host, the destination is ahead."

"Hey, Hui Hai is such a good boy, he even waited for you at the door!"

Lin Yi also saw the young monk sitting at the door, his shiny bald head glistening in the sun.

The little monk got up from the steps, trotted to Lin Yi's side, he looked at this man who didn't look serious, and asked cautiously, "Father?"

Lin Yi touched the young monk's bald head and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

The little monk nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

He took Lin Yi into the temple. Although the temple was dilapidated, it was still clean. Not long after, the young monk came over with a bowl of white rice porridge.

Lin Yi tilted his head, "Where's the meat?"

The little monk replied honestly: "Monks cannot eat meat."

Lin Yi looked at the bland porridge, and then looked at the young monk seriously, "As the saying goes, when wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha will keep it in his heart."

The system yelled, "Host, you can't teach children badly!"

The system only hopes that Hui Hai will not be fooled by the host, but Hui Hai is obviously very dependent on Lin Yi as his father... especially when the old monk passed away.

So, after a few seconds of serious thinking, the little monk nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi grinned, "Then let's eat meat!"

The little monk said honestly: "There is no meat in the temple."

"Then go buy it?"

"No money."

"Oh……"

Lin Yi touched his waist, then seemed to think of something, gave up the plan just now, and asked instead: "How to make money?"

The little monk seriously thought about how the old monk made money before. It seemed that the old monk had never made any money, and he was all relying on sitting and eating, so he said, "I don't know."

At this time, the system jumped out to show its presence, "Host, I know that the temple mainly relies on others to donate sesame oil, but now the temple is dilapidated, and no one will come to offer incense."

"Oh……"

Lin Yi reluctantly finished his porridge, the sky was already a little dark at this time, and the setting sun in the sky was about to jump below the horizon.

The little monk hurriedly dragged Lin Yi to the Buddhist hall, "Master said that you can't leave the Buddhist hall at night, it will be dark soon, we will go there now."

The moment Lin Yi and the young monk stepped into the Buddhist hall, the last ray of sunshine in the sky disappeared completely, and in an instant, the world seemed to change drastically.

There was whimpering and wind outside the Buddhist hall, it sounded like a child crying.

The branches and leaves of the linden tree rustled in the wind, and the originally quiet courtyard seemed to become noisy in an instant, and various strange sounds could be heard endlessly.

Lin Yi blinked suspiciously, "Is there someone setting up a stall outside?"

The system immediately shouted, "No!"

It was afraid that Lin Yi would run out curiously to have a look. You can't look at this thing, and you won't be able to come back after seeing it.

Although Lin Yi has the cultivation base of the ninth level of Qi training, he can't use it at all!
Seeing that Lin looked at the Buddha statue curiously at first, the system breathed a sigh of relief, but it immediately sucked the breath back, because a melodious female voice sounded outside the door.

"Officer, come and play~"

Lin Yi moved his gaze from the Buddha statue to the door.

He was about to go out to have a look, but under the nervous gaze of the system, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"A little sleepy."

Lin Yi yawned, took out a book from his Taoist robe, put it on the back of his head, and fell asleep.

The system just glanced at the title of the book: "Maoshan Daoshu".

It suddenly remembered something. During the day, it said that the host's clothes were not suitable for the background of this world, so the host "picked up" a Taoist robe by the lake.

And in the lake, an old Taoist priest is taking a bath...

By the way, who is the old Taoist priest who was "picked up" by the host?

Is this "Maoshan Daoshu" authentic?
It didn't even know that there was a book in the Taoist robe picked up by the host...

Seeing Lin Yi falling asleep, the little monk tiptoed to Lin Yi's side, lay down next to Lin Yi, rubbed his bare head against Lin Yi, and closed his eyes in peace.

Early the next morning, Lin Yi opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment. Remembering the sound from last night, he immediately got up and ran to the yard, only to find that there was nothing in the yard except a big tree.

He scratched his head in doubt, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he remembered a word: night market.

Therefore, the group of small vendors only set up their stalls at night.

After Lin Yi figured it out, he decided to buy some meat tonight.

He has already seen it, and the Buddha statues in the temple should be able to sell for some money...
