Chapter 887 How can we do without you as a scapegoat?
He didn't know how much time had passed when Lin Que, who was pondering as he descended the mountain, suddenly heard a curious question beside him, which startled him.
He looked up at the sound and was surprised to find a bald boy with a bone age of about five or six years old standing next to him!
The young, bald boy, whose bone age was still quite young, was only wearing a thin monk's robe. He was shivering from the cold, but his pure eyes still looked at Lin Que with a hint of curiosity.
But that's not all. This little bald guy was walking barefoot in the snow and even climbed to a considerable height.
"No... I was just thinking about some things."
Looking at the little bald head, Lin Que recalled the figure of Wang Chen, and then asked with a puzzled look, "But why are you barefoot, little bald head?"
"Isn't it cold like this?"
It goes without saying that the monk's robes he was wearing were thin; after all, in a place like the Lotus Buddha Kingdom, it wouldn't be so bad that a young monk wouldn't be able to afford shoes.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the bald boy, though still trembling, replied with a serious expression: "Our abbot said that only in this way can one truly cultivate a strong heart!"
"If you want to gain enlightenment on the sacred mountain, you must strengthen your own resolve!"
"Only through ascetic practices can one attain true enlightenment!"
"So no matter how cold or difficult it is, this humble monk will persevere!"
Looking at the serious-looking bald boy in front of him, Lin Que was speechless!
This abbot is a god!
Oh no! This is terrible!
"Never forget the path of self-cultivation and become distracted!"
"Alright, benefactor, this humble monk must take his leave to continue his self-cultivation."
"Amitabha..."
After saying that, the little bald man didn't wait for Lin Que's reply. Instead, he hurriedly bowed and continued walking shakily towards the Holy Mountain.
Looking at the little bald man's back, Lin Que felt a sudden stirring in his heart, and a relieved smile appeared on his face!
Without hesitation, he caught up with the little bald man in just a few steps.
"What's wrong, benefactor? Is there something else you need?"
"But let's make this clear first!"
"Don't even think about distracting me!"
You're already distracted, aren't you? How naive.
Lin Que smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I just think you're a funny little bald guy, so I wanted to give you something."
"Would you like to give this humble monk something?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in the young bald man's innocent eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he solemnly refused, saying, "Benefactor, our abbot said that one should not accept rewards without merit!"
"Therefore, whatever you wish to give this humble monk, I cannot accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que's lips curled into an amused smile, and he said with a laugh, "It's true that one shouldn't accept something for nothing, but the premise is that I require you, little bald head, to give something in return, okay?"
"Besides... you're so young, what kind of return can you possibly give me?"
“This…” The little bald man was stunned.
"So this isn't about not receiving a reward without doing something; it's just a one-sided gift from me, and I'm not asking you, little bald guy, for anything in return."
"Besides... surely your temple can't be without a donation box, right?"
"Little bald guy, does your abbot not accept donations from others?"
"Hmm? What you say makes sense!"
"But... how did you know that our temple has a donation box?"
"Judging from your attire, you don't seem to be from our Lotus Buddha Kingdom..."
"That's because I once stole... cough cough~!" Looking at the little bald boy's curious face, Lin Que coughed twice and said, "That's because I've visited several temples before, so I have some knowledge about them."
"Oh! I see, I understand now." The bald boy nodded earnestly.
Before he could continue speaking, he looked up and saw a white kasaya being stuffed into his arms by the stranger in front of him, which immediately stunned the bald boy!
Seeing his dazed expression, Lin Que couldn't help but raise his hand to pat the little bald head and said, "Alright, this is what I'm giving you."
"Remember to keep this safe, lest your abbot find it."
"Oh...right, there's one more thing I want to give you."
As he spoke, Lin Que grabbed the little bald boy's thin arm, and soon saw a five-colored light flash up.
"Benefactor, what is this?!"
After the light faded, the little bald boy immediately looked at his arm and asked nervously!
"Ha ha!"
"It's nothing, just an ordinary mark."
"Alright, little bald guy, I'm leaving now... See you again someday~"
After doing all this, Lin Que walked down the mountain without looking back and waved to himself.
The little bald boy stared blankly as Lin Que's figure disappeared into the swirling snow, a strange glint in his innocent eyes!
After a long while, the little bald man holding the white kasaya in his hands suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
"what!"
"Oops!"
"The abbot seemed to have warned me that a monk should never leave marks on his body!"
"We're doomed! We're doomed!"
"I... I can only keep it from the abbot. Although monks do not lie, I think the Buddha will surely forgive this humble monk."
"Amitabha..."
As the devout words fell, the little bald man looked at his arm with a worried expression.
To be precise, it was a five-colored spiritual mark on that arm.
......
Over the next few days, Lin Que visited some sects and holy lands on the Fengtian Continent, and also visited some acquaintances on the Huanyao Continent and Chongming Continent.
Finally, he appeared beside Shen Wuliang, who was searching for someone to challenge, and without saying a word, he grabbed the bewildered Shen Wuliang and disappeared from the spot.
"What are you doing?!"
"I finally managed to find that guy to have a match with, and we even agreed on a time."
When the two figures reappeared, they arrived at an unknown and mysterious space, which was the very tomb of the old Feng Yan and the others.
However, the place was now completely empty, with no coffins remaining.
Upon appearing, Shen Wuliang ignored the surrounding scenery and instead asked Lin Que a question with a dissatisfied expression.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Que laughed and said, "Didn't we agree to take you to your death? Do you still want to stay in the Wind Spirit Realm?"
"You mean..." Lin Que's words instantly made Shen Wuliang's eyes light up: "We're leaving the Wind Spirit Realm?!"
Lin nodded.
"What, you don't want to?"
"If that's the case, then I have no objection, and I can send you back immediately."
"Hehe... No, no, no!" After confirming that Lin Que was telling the truth, Shen Wuliang immediately waved his hands and said with a smile, "I was just joking. That person was already my defeated opponent, so there's no need to pay him any mind!"
"Heh...heh heh!"
"But then again, where is this place?"
"Don't tell me this is the world outside the Wind Spirit Realm."
"No, I just came here to wait for that silly bird." Lin Que crossed his arms and shook his head.
Soon, a familiar aura came from ahead, causing Lin Que to raise an eyebrow!
"coming!"
Oh!
A sound of space tearing was heard, and the void in front of the two people shattered, from which a scruffy bird flew out!
"You silly bird, you've finally come out."
"But...why have you gone back to looking like a tangled mess? But actually, you look quite pleasing to the eye now."
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuyou lunged forward and kicked Lin Que!
"You don't know anything!"
"After I clear away the impurities, my cultivation level will naturally drop, but I'll recover quickly!"
"Hey, this idiot dared to hit me!"
"You haven't been beaten up in decades, are you itching for a beating?"
"Heh! You think I'm afraid of you?"
"It's still uncertain who will beat whom!"
Holy crap!
In an instant, the man and the bird started fighting again, and it didn't stop until quite a while later.
After pausing, Feng Jiuyou immediately asked in confusion, "Boy, why are you waiting here for me to come out of seclusion? Is there something important?"
"Of course!" Lin Que smiled faintly.
"After all, I'm about to leave the Wind Spirit Realm. How can I manage without you, you silly bird?"
"Whether I live or die is irrelevant, but you, my scapegoat, must exist!"
"Holy shit! You're a real bastard!"
"But...hehe, I like it!"
