Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 314 Lingyin Temple Monk

When Xu Shen followed the "No Visitors Allowed" sign and found the old monk mentioned by Dean Xiao, he was leaning leisurely against an old tree, shaking his legs and spitting date pits into the pond.

He has a frivolous temperament, not like that of an enlightened monk, which fits the image of a hermit in Xu Shen's mind.

“Young man, go to the front hall to worship Buddha,” the old monk said lazily.

"President Xiao said the True Buddha is here."

"President Xiao?" The monk asked in a surprised tone, "Xiao Bingsen?"

Xu Shen nodded and took out the letter.

"Oh, this old guy is amazing. I haven't been around for many years, but he still remembers to cause trouble for me."

The old monk yawned, and before he made any move, the letter in Xu Shen's hand was opened out of thin air and hung in front of him.

This guy acted so smoothly that Xu Shen was impressed.

But soon, the old monk lost his composure.

"Psychic victims?!"

He jumped up and almost hit Xu Shen's nose.

"Master, there are too many people and too many eyes."

Xu Shen was speechless. This old guy was so jumpy. He wondered if he could do anything weird again.

"Amitabha, I lost my composure."

The old monk clasped his hands together and stared at Yu Mian, as if he was looking at some priceless treasure.

"Girl, are you willing to take me as your master?"

His tone was amiable, even a little flattering...

“I don’t want to be a nun.”

"That's not important. I can return to secular life for you."

Yu Mian was startled and hid behind Xu Shen and whispered: "This sounds like what some disrespectful old scumbag said."

Xu Shen was also stunned: "So casual? Then why did you become a monk in the first place?"

"Lingyin Temple has a beautiful view. I want to live here, but I can't if I don't become a monk."

"Ah this..."

Xu Shen and Yu Mian looked at each other.

Very good, very strong reason.

Speechless and simply skipping the topic, Xu Shen asked about multiple personalities.

The old monk replied casually: "What's the big deal? I have multiple personalities, so I have multiple personalities. It's just right for you to take turns to rest, so that no one will be treated unfairly."

"This is good!"

Yu Mian clapped his hands, obviously agreeing with this "treatment plan".

Xu Shen said nothing more, took Yu Mian and turned to leave.

I don’t know if this stinky monk has any ability, but just looking at his frivolous appearance, three words are evident from his whole body - unreliable!

"Hey, wait."

The old monk spoke in a leisurely tone, and Xu Shen felt his consciousness tremble, and inexplicably he stopped as the old monk meant.

When he came to his senses, he was suddenly horrified.

With the help of the Linglong Ball, his mental power has reached the eighth level, almost reaching the limit of human mental power.

With this level of mental power, one should have a very high resistance to mental and curse magic.

But the old monk's mere words made his soul defense seem non-existent.

Xu Shen was certain that a super-class psychic mage would never be able to do this.

So, this frivolous old monk, like Dean Xiao, is a forbidden spell? !

And he is very likely a rare psychic forbidden spell mage in the world?
"Boy, have you seen my strength now?"

The old monk put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

"So, it's really a forbidden spell?" "Don't you know it?"

Xu Shen didn't want to talk anymore.

In front of a master of psychic powers, any thoughts are exposed, and it makes no difference whether you say them or not.

"I'm not as powerful as you think," the old monk said leisurely, "For example, I can't see through her mind."

He pointed at Yu Mian and said, "The more you can't see through, the more you want to see through. So, the reason why you can get here without any obstacles is all because of my good guidance. Unexpectedly, Old Xiao gave me a big surprise."

"Master, let's be serious. How can we cure Yu Mian's multiple personalities?"

"Yes, yes. Although I think this is a good idea, Ah Shen insisted that I was sick and wanted to take me here for treatment. Master, how about we follow your plan?"

When Mian Mian heard that the standard for "curing" multiple personality disorder is that all other personalities disappear, she was very resistant in her heart, but she loved Xu Shen so much that when she heard that he wanted to cure it, even though she didn't like it, she had to follow him.

However, she was overjoyed that the old monk recommended by Dean Xiao was not the kind of old monk who did not speak human language. On the contrary, she felt that the "treatment plan" proposed by the old monk simply hit the mark.

"Mianmian, if you agree to be my apprentice, we will follow the previous plan."

The old monk was in a good mood, and an invisible force secretly sealed Xu Shen's ability to speak.

"Okay, okay."

Seeing Xu Shen's agreement, Yu Mian clapped her hands happily.

"My dear disciple, let's go, I can't stay in this broken Lingyin Temple for another day", the old monk said as he threw all the remaining dates in the pond, threw away his cassock, changed into casual clothes and prepared to go down the mountain.

Xu Shen was stunned when he saw this scene. He just recovered and had not spoken yet when the old monk's words entered his spiritual world and interrupted his spellcasting: "Boy, if I told her from the beginning that I was going to destroy her secondary personalities, she would definitely be wary and would not fully cooperate with me. You have already made a very bad start, so if you really want her to return to normal, don't be so talkative."

Xu Shen was slightly stunned, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed true.

He followed the old monk angrily: "Old Master, where are we going?"

"It depends on what Mianmian likes. I'll follow her."

"How about we go find Sister Tang Yue? We haven't seen her for a long time."

The old monk interrupted, "Tang Yue, the Tang family on the lake island?"

"You know them?"

The old monk laughed and said, "That family is not simple."

Xu Shen knew what he was talking about.

As an ancient totem guardian family, the family heritage is quite strong.

“It’s more than that.” The old monk shook his head and said, “It’s even more complicated than you think.”

Xu Shen was stunned.

"More than that? So there are other secrets?"

"Don't say it, don't say it."

The old monk shook his head mysteriously.

"Do you know who I hate the most?"

The old monk asked mischievously, "A person who only speaks half the words?"

Xu Shen choked and replied with gritted teeth: "Not now."

Is there anything that can make a psychic mage understand what the sense of boundaries between people is?

The old monk blinked and said, "Mianmian, your Ah Shen said you are annoying."

"Ah, you're the annoying one, damn!"

Mianmian patted Xu Shen's shoulder in a delicate voice, and the smell of dog food could not be hidden at all.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing," the old monk said leisurely, "It is addictive to spy on other people's minds. Your attempt to teach psychic mages a sense of boundaries will not find a market."

"So, the reason you went to Lingyin Temple to be a fake monk was to eat melons, right?"

"Hahaha, you finally discovered it. Let me tell you, those stories about praying to Buddha and burning incense are really exciting..."

The old monk was uncontrollable. It was obvious that he had been holding it in for so many years and was really exhausted. He kept muttering all the way, and when he reached the island in the middle of the lake, he still looked unsatisfied.
