Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 29 Murderous Intent (Please continue reading)
I felt the blood-red light around me dissipate.

The City God's voice still echoed in my ears.
Li Wushou got up again, sitting up from the ground in one swift motion, and glanced at the six-eyed monk in the meditation hall with barely concealed smugness.

The six-eyed monk's face turned ashen, and his blood-red pupils, arranged in a circle, suddenly glared at Li Wushou.

Li Wushou quickly suppressed his smugness and bowed to the blind monk, pleading, "Master, please, for the sake of the City God..."

Looking at Li Wushou, who was as soft as a shrimp, the Six-Eyed Monk's expression changed again and again. Although his mother and son's spirit and eyes had been taken away by the City God, it was hard to say that the Yin energy of his mother and son's spirit had not been used on this kid.

I really want to eat him!

However, Blood Buddha Temple benefited from the City God's deal and was hoping to expand to other major cities, so it couldn't afford to ruin such a big deal.

But this anger is really hard to swallow!
After giving Li Wushou a deep look, the Six-Eyed Monk finally suppressed his emotions. There would be a long time to repay him.

"That's the end of this matter. You may leave!"

Li Wushou immediately beamed with joy, quickly stood up from the ground, bowed to the Six-Eyed Monk, and prepared to leave the Zen temple.

"Wait, wake them up and take them out with you."

"Uh...yes!"

With a hint of reluctance on his face, Li Wushou woke up Li Erniu and the others one by one. Apart from Li Erniu and Huang Dabing, the other six people felt uneasy when they opened their eyes and saw Li Wushou.

The Six-Eyed Monk saw everything, and his contempt grew even stronger.

"What a cold-hearted kid. Even the people in the team don't like him. But this personality is really suitable for cultivation. It's just that he's chosen the path of a god, so this is his future."

They had initially thought it was some kind of highly nourishing spirit, but upon discovering it was the City God, whom they dared not offend, the Six-Eyed Monk lost interest. He waved his hand, and the corpse-carrying team withdrew from the Zen temple.

The yellow-robed monk waiting outside was somewhat surprised to see that no one had been implanted with the eye-plant, but he didn't ask any further questions.

My uncle will handle this matter himself!

Back in the courtyard of the body-moving team, the members looked at each other, all bewildered.

Li Wushou was preoccupied, constantly reviewing his actions just now. After a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief. Now he could finally make up for it, right?
As for himself, with the City God holding the line, Li Wushou wasn't particularly worried. He could just run away when the City God couldn't hold out any longer.

However, the copper bowl in front of the Six-Eyed Monk smelled really good today. Li Wushou could clearly feel his body trembling and his heart beating very fast. He was so eager for it. It looked very similar to the Spirit Eye Seed. He wondered how it was made.

No wonder Chen Gou'er has been talking in his sleep these past few days, saying he wants to hire a few monks from Blood Buddha Temple as head chefs to cook for the Three Immortals Restaurant.

This cooking skill is absolutely superb!
The corpse-moving team waited anxiously until evening, but the Blood Buddha Temple did not summon them again, so they went home with trepidation.

Li Wushou had intended to say goodbye to Li Erniu, as tomorrow was the day of the City God's examination, and he would no longer be able to move corpses.

But now that this has happened, the fact that the monks of Blood Buddha Temple dare not retaliate against him does not mean they won't take their anger out on Li Erniu and the others.

Today, I have shown a cold-hearted and petty side, so I think the Blood Buddha Temple will not pursue them any further. After all, more and more people will die in the future, and the corpse-moving team will still be of great use.

So let's just forget about it, this is fine as it is.

I used to not understand why the old beggar had no friends after traveling all over the country. The old beggar always boasted that it was because he didn't get involved in karma.

Looking back now, it seems I understand somewhat.

The corpse-moving team hadn't been gone long when Li Wushou was about to arrive home.

A gray sparrow leaped up from the east side of the main city, flapped its wings and flew south, landing at the Blood Buddha Temple's outpost under the moonlight.

The six-eyed monk sat upright in the meditation hall, constantly chanting Buddhist scriptures, attempting to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

But he was studying orthodox Buddhism, a direct descendant of the Blood Buddha Temple, and the more he chanted, the stronger his murderous intent became.

Suddenly, the ordination scars on his head opened, and six blood-red eyes turned towards the Zen temple. His ears twitched slightly, and the six-eyed monk slowly spoke: "Who?"

His words were plain, yet they contained a strong aura of bloodlust.

A gentle breeze suddenly swept through the courtyard, dispersing the bloodthirsty aura in the words.

Looking closely, Liu Mu discovered that a gray sparrow the size of a fist had been hovering in the Zen temple at some unknown time.

The gray sparrow opened its mouth slowly, its voice sounding somewhat old, yet still deep and resonant.

"Master Six Eyes, what a powerful aura! What brings you such trouble?" Upon seeing the gray sparrow speak, Six Eyes immediately recognized who it was. Composing himself, he rose from the meditation cushion and greeted the sparrow at the door of the meditation room with a smile:
"I did not expect it to be Lord Zhu who graces us with his presence. I apologize for my rudeness, Lord Zhu."

Seeing that Liu Mu didn't want to elaborate, Zhu Sihai didn't press further. People like them, if they wanted to kill a few people one day, did they need a reason?

"I am being impolite to visit you at night without being invited."

"Not at all, Lord Zhu, please come in!"

The Six-Eyed Monk, with an eager expression, cupped his hands in greeting to the Gray Sparrow and stepped aside.

Upon entering the meditation hall, the six-eyed monk sat back down on his meditation cushion.

The gray sparrow, with its wings spread wide, stood before the six-eyed monk and said bluntly:

"I am disturbing you at this hour because I have a request."

"Oh~?"

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eyed Monk also became interested. Was there really a place in Wufang City where Zhu Sihai needed to ask for help? Blood Buddha Temple was not the Wusheng Sect, so it did not have the method of cutting off one's lifespan.

"Lord Zhu, please speak frankly!"

Gray Sparrow nodded and said directly, "I want to ask the master for a person named Li Wushou, who is a corpse carrier in the southern city!"

Upon hearing this, the meditation hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

Gray Sparrow subconsciously looked up, only to see the Six-Eyed Monk who had just been calm, and his chest inexplicably heaved a little faster.

After a long while, the Six-Eyed Monk exhaled a long breath and asked the gray sparrow in front of him:

"Is the Li Wushou that Lord Zhu mentioned a tall, thin young man?"

Gray Sparrow's heart skipped a beat. According to the description on the letter, Li Wushou really looked like that.

But he didn't expect that the Six-Eyed Monk would be so familiar with a young man from a corpse-carrying team.
Could it be that the other party is highly regarded by the Six-Eyed Monk?

What was supposed to be a simple matter has now turned into a major controversy, leaving Zhu Sihai somewhat speechless.

"Is it true, as the master said, that the master recognizes this Li Wushou?"

The Six-Eyed Monk's expression was grim. He slowly nodded, then shook his head at the gray sparrow.

“I do recognize this Li Wushou, but I have no way to hand him over to Lord Zhu.”

The gray sparrow paused, tilted its head, and gave the six-eyed monk a serious look.

"Oh? I didn't know that Li Wushou was acquainted with the master. I was presumptuous!"

The Six-Eyed Monk shook his head again and said, "Lord Zhu, that's not the case. As far as I know, Li Wushou has already been favored by the City God. It is said that he was born with a yin nature and has already consumed yin energy. He will be tested and promoted to a high priest tomorrow."

"what?"

The Six-Eyed Monk's words were quite beyond Zhu Sihai's expectations. The boy who had the golden statue made six days ago was about to become a high priest.
"I wonder who City Lord Zhu is looking for?"

The gray sparrow was stunned for a moment before finally coming to its senses.

"Oh~ This kid helped the City God have his statue gilded a few days ago. I originally wanted to bring him to the main city to take care of him, but I didn't expect the City God to take a liking to him first. It was really unnecessary, haha."

Looking at the lark, whose words were clearly insincere, the Six-Eyed Monk felt inexplicably better, though he didn't know why.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the gray sparrow flew back to Zhengcheng from the meditation hall of Blood Buddha Temple.

But the murderous intent that had just filled the meditation hall seemed to have shifted to its eyes!
