"Senior brother! How could you let that cat demon go! That cat demon did evil and harmed innocent people, so you can't just let her go so easily!"

Several elders learned that Wuyuan went to Zhuo's house to cast a spell to eliminate the demon, but the demon was not eliminated, but let her go.Mrs. Zhuo's family came to the temple again after that, deliberately avoiding Wuyuan, talking to several elders when Wuyuan was not there, expressing her deep gratitude to Abbot Wuyuan for being bewitched by the cat demon. dissatisfied.Not only that, Wuyuan and his party went to Zhuo's house to eliminate demons in such a big battle. To put it bluntly, they would be mistaken for Wuyuan, the abbot of the crouching temple, who could even deal with a mere low-level cat demon No, or even worse, it will be misunderstood as a combination of monks and demons, just to defraud sesame oil money.This is very bad for the reputation of the temple, and it also affects its performance.

"I'm not helping the evildoer. Correspondingly, I'm punishing her."

Facing accusations from several juniors and the elders in the temple, Wuyuan didn't care about the misunderstanding of the juniors, but calmly argued.

"Brother, don't you think that letting that demon give the inner alchemy to Zhuo Wenyu, and then let her disappear by herself, is a good way to get the best of both worlds!"

All the elders were aggressive and unrelenting.

"Not all demons need to be suppressed. Suppression is not the best solution. Zhuo benefactor's vital energy is severely damaged. Letting the cat demon take the initiative to donate the inner alchemy is the best way to heal Zhuo benefactor. And she has a low-level Without the inner alchemy, she can't make waves. What's more, she..." is in love with that person.

"Brother, you are too soft-hearted! Mrs. Zhuo made it very clear that she hopes we get rid of the cat demon, not to drive it away! To get rid of it is to purify it and make her disappear from now on! Brother...why are you so confused Woolen cloth!"

The elders were heartbroken, thinking about their senior brother, who had always been their role model since they practiced together in the past. Although they sometimes envied him, they worshiped him more because they knew that even if they No matter how they practice, they can only reach this level, but their senior brother is a born master of exorcising demons. They can be jealous and envious, but they can't reach it by themselves.

"Is it really necessary to kill all of you to be satisfied?"

Even Wuyuan couldn't bear to hear the cruelty that his juniors had treated the living beings inside and out.

The elders froze for a moment, they didn't even consider that even though it was a cat demon who harmed others, she was still a creature in nature.And they are monks, and they practice to save the common people, not only to punish the villains who disrupt the order of the world, but also to rescue the civilians in trouble.No matter what the purpose is, the most important thing in common is to cherish the living beings, instead of killing all evil spirits, at least give them a chance to reform themselves.

Speaking of this, several elders also understood why their senior brother Wuyuan served as the abbot of this year, not only because of his advanced cultivation, but also because he has a benevolent heart, and even more because of his kindness. Teachings, the profound meaning of Buddhism in mind.

"Ahem, senior brother is right, but the size is the same. We don't care about you letting go of the cat demon, but you didn't fulfill your promise to Mrs. Zhuo. You, senior brother, are probably responsible for this. We are from the same sect Brother, we will not make things difficult for you, as long as you confine your feet in your meditation room for three days, and while thinking about your mistakes, fast for three days, and punish minor punishments and major precepts. I also hope that you will not blame us, brother. There is no way."

Wu Yuan nodded, and calmly said to these elders: "I will trouble you in these three days."

At night, except for the night watchmen, everyone in the temple fell asleep.

"Who?"

Wuyuan noticed that the door was quietly opened and closed again, thinking that someone must have entered his meditation room without authorization.

"It's me! Master." The visitor replied in a low voice.

"Deqing, what are you doing here without sleeping most of the night?" Wu Yuan also asked in a low voice.

Deqing approached Wuyuan's bed, and took out something wrapped in paper from his bosom, "Bring some food to Master! But I only brought you half a steamed bun, it's not easy to be found."

Wuyuan stared at the half steamed bun in Deqing's hand, looked at Deqing, and said, "I'm on a fast, so I can't eat. Also, go back quickly, don't come again!"

Deqing didn't care about etiquette anymore, he sat down on Wuyuan's bed and muttered: "You haven't fasted for three days, how can you bear it! The elders are clearly trying to make things difficult for you, but I still think they are amiable, They are highly respected! It’s just a group of…”

"Deqing!" Wuyuan scared off Deqing's next disrespectful words, and then said in a soft voice: "I made a mistake, and I have to bear the consequences. Thank you for your steamed buns, I will eat them, But, don't come here again."

Wu Yuan touched Deqing's cheek, "Go back quickly! Don't be found out."

Deqing nodded and said, "Yes, Master." He tiptoed back to the bedroom.

Wu Yuan stared at the hand that touched Deqing's cheek just now, and slowly bent his fingers and clenched his palm tightly.He looked at the steamed bun that Deqing had stuffed for him, thought for a while, took a bite, and sneered, "It's all hard."

Deqing returned to the bedroom, looked at the bright moon in front of the window, and for a while his mind drifted to Wuyuan's bedroom, which was far away, worrying that Master would not be able to eat for the next two days, and what would happen if his body broke due to boil.After a while, he began to curse the group of treacherous and evil elders in human skin, and beat the group of uncles who only knew how to shirk responsibility in their hearts.After a while, I fell asleep.

Two days later, Wuyuan's foot restraint and fasting were lifted, but Deqing did not follow Wuyuan's warning these few days, and every night in the dead of night, he would go to deliver food to Wuyuan, when he thought Wuyuan was almost falling asleep At that time, he secretly opened the door of Wuyuan's room, put half a steamed bun at the door, and then outside Wuyuan's bedroom, put his hands together, bowed deeply, and tiptoed back to his meditation room.

However, he thought that Wuyuan didn't know, but in fact, every time when Deqing stood outside the house, Wuyuan stood only one door away from Deqing, silently feeling Deqing's breath.After Deqing left, he picked up the steamed bun that had cooled down and started to harden, and gnawed on it in small bites.

"Hmph, this silly boy."

The tenderness in Wu Yuan's smile overflowed his entire face.

A few days later, Master Zhuo gradually regained consciousness.

Even though it is difficult to sit up by one's own strength, she still insists on getting out of bed.Forced him to lie down, but he muttered, "I'm going to feed Xiaoyue, I'm going to feed Xiaoyue..."

Asked him who "Xiaoyue" was, his dull eyes gradually narrowed, and then he smiled lovingly, as if he was boasting about his child to others, "Xiaoyue is the kitten at the door of my shop. At first, there was only I feed it, so it often comes to the door of my store. Later, even if others feed it, it will not eat, and would rather wait for me to feed it when it is hungry. After eating, it always likes to lick my hand, to express Thank you." Master Zhuo looked down at his hands, as if he was reminiscing the itch when Xiaoyue licked his hands.Thinking of not feeding Xiaoyue for a long time, with a smile on his face, he became worried again, "I haven't fed it for so many days, will it stop eating because of waiting for me?"

Mrs. Zhuo didn't tell Master Zhuo that the woman he brought earlier said that her name was "Xiaoyue".

She looked sadly at her husband who was almost killed, but her husband didn't remember the fact that he was almost killed, and he was still thinking about the little goblin who caused him to lose his yang energy.

Ask him if he still remembers what he did these days, he thought for a while, and answered, he only remembered to feed Xiaoyue, and then he did a lot of things later, but he didn’t remember them all. on the bed.

After another month, Master Zhuo's body has recovered and he started to manage the jewelry store again.

At this time, a kitten ran to the door of the store. Under the sunlight, its white fur looked a little dazzling.It is exactly the same as Xiaoyue, it is a little white cat.

Master Zhuo hadn't seen Xiaoyue for more than a month, and he was a little worried. Seeing that Xiaoyue was well, he heaved a sigh of relief, and walked towards Xiaoyue with the food he had prepared.

However, seeing "Xiaoyue" sniffing the food vigilantly, confirming that the food is safe to eat, eating it quickly, licking his paws, wagging his tail, and walking away, Master Zhuo's face The sky is full of haze.

He felt like he was missing something, it was just a cat that looked like Xiaoyue enjoying the food that was originally prepared for Xiaoyue, why did he feel a sense of loss that he would never see Xiaoyue again.It's obviously just a stray cat, why can I let myself be so worried.

Is Xiaoyue angry?Because I haven't fed it for a long time.Is it, will not come again?

The author has something to say:

Have you ever met such a person who likes to shirk responsibility?

Thank you very much for the little fairies and fairies who saw here! mua~
