22. Chapter 22: Attack on Lingyin Temple

Translator: mellet

Zhao Yun gently stroked the head of Xia Mingyu, his brown soft hair resembling the fur of a cat, making him love it.

Eight Tails rolled his eyes, stopped satirizing Xia Mingyu. They packed up their belongings and went down the mountain.

The familiar Bugatti Veyron parked down the hill. The window rolled down-it was Sun Yaxin, still wearing a bright red jacket. In Xia Mingyu’s opinion, this guy was… uh, ostentatious.

“Get in.” Sun Ya waved and saw He Nai look confused, “Why are you here?”

Sun Yaxin took a chocolate bar in his mouth and said casually, “I know that your master is missing. I thought that you might go out to find him, so I come over.”

“What a coincidence!?” He Nai was surprised. It had been three weeks since Mu Feng disappeared, and when Sun Yaxin came to visit them, it was just the day they were going down the mountain. How could it be so coincidental?

The chocolate bar swung up and down, Sun Yaxin glared at He Nai and said, “Coincidence? I’ve been fucking waiting here for several days! If only I knew the way on the mountain. I would have gone up and dragged you bastards down!”

Zhao Yun, who was mixed in the crowd of bastards, drew the corner of his eyes uncontrollably.

He Nai selectively ignored Sun Yaxin’s last words and smiled, “Haha, you don’t know the road, but didn’t master tell you that there is only one way on the mountain, and the road is paved with pebbles?”

As soon as He Nai said so, almost everyone saw that Sun Yaxin’s handsome face began to change color, from white to a little red, then the red became more and more intense, and finally completely became a red apple. He Nai laughed more happily, even Wangchuan couldn’t help but bend his lips. Eight Tails buried his head into Wangchuan’s arms, and the little butt exposed outside was trembling, obviously he was also laughing. Xia Mingyu’s eyes narrowed. He turned to Zhao Yun, finding the smile in his eyes, then also laughed without scruples.

Sun Yaxin was angry and urged them to get in the car, “Don’t laugh! What’s so funny? Damn it, get in! Get in! Get in!”

The more excited he was, the redder his face was, and finally even the tips of his ears were red like blood. The young childe looked so cute, and what just happened made a few people closer. Xia Mingyu thought that Sun Yaxin would be serious and domineering, but the truth was that he was so interesting.

After getting into the car, He Nai asked Sun Yaxin if he knew where Mu Feng had gone. The latter had just recovered from embarrassment, and was still a little angry, deliberately ignored He Nai. He Nai rolled her eyes, how stingy! She reached out and patted Wangchuan who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Even Wangchuan asked him, and Sun Yaxin was ashamed to still indulge in the embarrassment, only saying that Mu Feng had visited him once and bought some new goods got when “Daodouing”(“Daodou” refers to robbing tomb) from him, which he didn’t know exactly, as if they were kind of like stuff for ancient sacrificial.

Xia Mingyu didn’t know what  “Daodou” meant, but he didn’t ask. He had no need to know it. What he should do was just to follow along, because he couldn’t help anything anyway.

“Why did master need those goods? Don’t you know that the things just taken from the grave are usually filled with the cold of ghost in the grave? Maybe there is something dirty inside.” He Nai looked disagreeable and thought that Mu Feng had brain problems.

Wangchuan thought for a while, then asked, “Did master have anything else in his hand? Like a pottery jar?”

Wangchuan wanted to know whether Mu Feng released ghost children’s souls from purgaton before he went to visit Sun Yaxin. Sun Yaxin recalled and said, “It was like… No, I’m not very clear because he carried a big travel bag. The bag was full of stuff. I don’t know what was in the bag.”

Wangchuan nodded and couldn’t speculate only on the backpack whether Mu Feng had gone before or after releasing souls. After all, it was hard to promise that his unreliable master would not buy something useless to put into his bag.

“Hey, where are we going now?”

“West Lake of Hangzhou.”

Sun Yaxin turned the wheel to the state road and asked, “What are you doing there? Do you want to see the broken bridge and Lei Feng Tower? It’s nothing to do with Mu Feng?”

Wangchuan shook his head and continued, “It’s to Lingyin Temple.”

Knowing that the explanation of Wangchuan might not be satisfactory, He Nai continued, “Master went down the mountain to release ghost children’s souls from purgaton, so he probably went to Lingyin Temple. We intend to check it.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Sun Yaxin stopped asking and focused on driving. Xia Mingyu in the back seat was a little dizzy, so he rolled down the window and the cool wind blew in, making him feel more comfortable.

A few people soon arrived at Lingyin Temple, today there were a lot of people come here for praying and traveling. It was a sea of people. Sun Yaxin parked the car. Wangchuan gave Zhao Yun and Eight Tails two blessing bags respectively, saying that it could shield the Buddha light. Then several people went directly to the backyard to find the host of the temple.

Xia Mingyu didn’t follow He Nai and Wangchuan, and he watched others praying under the tree a little further away. He hadn’t been in the temple and was curious about everything. When he saw that Zhao Yun stood next to Sun Yaxin,  four people talking with the host, he felt at ease and went to play around.

“Hello, little brother.” Xia Mingyu, who hadn’t go far yet, was patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw an uncle with a shaggy beard and a pendant with a Eight Diagram Array around his neck. “?”

“Are you alone?” Uncle smiled and asked, Xia Mingyu stepped back, thinking that he would not meet a human trafficker. He turned to see that Zhao Yun was still there, and he was relieved, “What can I do for you?”

The uncle glanced at the Kirin pendant around his neck, pretended to soothsay for Xia Mingyu and said, “Little brother, I see that the middle of your eyebrows is dark. I’m afraid you’ve encountered something dirty. Do you want  me, the taoist priest, to drive that thing out for you?”

Hah, he did meet a zombie and he was a powerful one, but it was none of this strange uncle’s business. What’s more, a Taoist who cheated in a temple of Buddha was really not afraid to be thrown into the West Lake?

But Xia Mingyu didn’t say it directly, just blinked and the asked innocently, “What are you going to do?”

“It’s simple. As long as you sponsor me financially, I’ll take responsibility for all the matter of labour.” Probably thinking the child was very easy to cheat, the strange uncle immediately revealed his true intention. Xia Mingyu rolled his eyes:  I knew that what he really wanted was money.

Xia Mingyu opened his palms innocently, “I have no money.”

The uncle pointed to the Kirin pendant around Xia Mingyu’s neck and smiled, “Then I don’t want money. Give me that thing and I’ll help you drive the ghosts out.”

Sure enough, it was for the Kirin pendant. Xia Mingyu immediately froze his face, and he was too lazy to be entangled with the guy, “No way.”

Just after walking two steps, the uncle grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the temple. Xia Mingyu struggled and was annoyed, “What are you doing?!”

Uncle smiled and saw the people around him looking at him, then said with a embarrassed smile, “I’m sorry, my child is rebellious and has a temper.”

People around them felt a little strange, but hearing what he said, they all thought that he and Xia Mingyu were father and son, so no one was about to meddle. After a while, Xia Mingyu had been dragged to the gate by the uncle and was about to leave the backyard.

Xia Mingyu couldn’t find Zhao Yun, and felt a little flustered. He couldn’t free himself from the uncle, so he kicked towards the uncle’s private part of body. The strange uncle didn’t predict it, and loosen the hand quickly, at the same time Xia Mingyu turned around and ran.
