Chapter 986 My brother was kidnapped, right?
Master Duanchen gathered the three pilgrims in the side hall and asked them to talk about their affairs, while he ignored them.
"It made the two donors laugh." Master Duanchen responded with an apologetic smile, "Generally, poor monks don't do anything when receiving pilgrims."
"Master is really a man of temperament." Meng Jingzhou put one hand on his chest and admired Master Duan Chen's actions just now.
Master Duan Chen sighed: "Actually, there are quite a few people like the third pilgrim. I don't know what's going on in recent years."
"They didn't know what evil they were possessed by. They felt that their wives and children were bound by their families, so they abandoned their wives and children and fled into Buddhism. After waiting for a few months or years, they thought about it and wanted to return to secular life. What about the temple in the distance? Similarly, as far as the poor monk knows, these nearby temples have all encountered similar situations. "
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Yang thought thoughtfully, feeling that something was wrong with this matter.
"Fairy, do you see anything strange about the third pilgrim?"
The Immortal Fairy scanned the side hall next door with her immortal sense: "It looks like there's nothing wrong with him. He's a normal person. He was beaten quite badly, but he didn't dare to fight back."
Lu Yang frowned. Did he think too much?
"Lao Meng, what do you think?"
"Well done, Master."
“…”
The pilgrims received at the back were much more normal. After all, Master Duan Chen was an eminent monk with great ambitions and had real abilities. Lu Yang and the two watched and learned from the side and benefited a lot.
Although the way to enlighten is to hold a bottle and pour water.
But Master Duanchen's words and deeds are very good, and he can draw the pilgrims into his own step step by step.
"If you want to convince the other party, the background, lighting, speech, demeanor, and expression are all very important." Lu Yang kept analyzing Master Duan Chen's skills to see what aspects he had not yet achieved.
Lu Yang was a little surprised by the last pilgrim today. She was the little girl who almost bumped into him yesterday. Although her clothes were all patched and she came from a poor family, her clothes and face were clean, which made people like her.
According to the little girl's self-introduction, her name is Tang Qiaoqiao, she is fourteen years old, and she has an older brother named Tang Chuanwu who depends on her.
"Master, I don't know what's going on with my brother recently. He seems to be a different person. He is always suspicious and practices boxing all day long. I don't know where he learned the boxing skills. I asked my brother what happened and he also said Don’t say it.”
Tang Qiaoqiao thought about the magic cultivation methods described in the storytelling, and her eyes filled with tears. She bit her lip and hesitated: "Master, do you think my brother was kidnapped?"
Master Duan Chen activated the scriptures hanging on the wall to calm down Tang Qiaoqiao, with a convincingly kind smile on his face.
"This little benefactor, your brother's behavior just shows that he is not the person whose body was taken away. In order to prevent people around him from finding out the clues, the person whose body was taken away will try his best to stay the same as he is and not change his temperament drastically."
"Most of the people who seize the body are accomplished monks. Such people are very thoughtful and will definitely not show any flaws. Even if they are familiar with him, they will not be noticed."
Different from Daxia, which has extremely strict management, here in the Buddhist country, you can encounter people who seize the body from time to time, and there are even people who practice hard after the seizure, and become the abbot. Master Duanchen has come into contact with the people who seize the body several times, and he knows this Human-like characteristics.
Lu Yang nodded. Master Duan Chen was right. When the fairy took his body, she tried to imitate his behavior as much as possible, although the imitation was difficult to describe.
"Then what happened to my brother?"
Master Duan Chen took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, wrapped it with a red rope, and hung it around Tang Qiaoqiao's neck: "Keep this talisman safe. If you are in danger, it will protect you."
"But, I have no money." When Tang Qiaoqiao said this, he looked down at his toes and spoke in a low voice, feeling uneasy and afraid that Master Duanchen would throw him out.
"It doesn't matter. If the little benefactor does more good deeds in the future, he can buy this talisman."
"Ah? Thank you, Master!" Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly raised his head.
Master Duanchen put his hands together and recited the name of the World Honored One: "Monks have compassion. I hope that this little donor will not need this talisman."
Not using the talisman means that there is no danger, which is naturally the best situation.
After the Kaihuang Temple was closed, Lu Yang followed Tang Qiaoqiao secretly, worrying that if Tang Chuanwu was really taken away, it would be terrible if the person who took his body was a stupid young man like the fairy who didn't know how to disguise.
The environment where Tang Qiaoqiao lives is quite bad, the stench is high, the houses are crowded together, the roads are winding, there is no planning, and they are built haphazardly, and the sun cannot shine into this place.
"Brother, I'm back." After being enlightened by Master Duan Chen, Tang Qiaoqiao was in a much better mood than before. When he came back, he bought some fish bones to make soup.
Tang Chuanwu's upper body was naked, sweating profusely, and his eyes were firm, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, and every movement was quite standard.
"Brother, we don't have to work so hard in martial arts, okay?" Tang Qiaoqiao said distressedly.
Tang Chuanwu calmed down and touched his little sister's head lovingly: "Brother can only protect you if he becomes stronger."
"I'm safe."
Tang Chuanwu sighed, looking where he was looking: "It's always good to be more prepared."
"But I heard from the masters at Kaihuang Temple that they drink Shiquan Dabu Decoction every day when practicing martial arts to make up for their body's shortcomings. Our family can't afford Shiquan Dabu Decoction. What should you do if your body develops problems while practicing martial arts? "
Their family was poor, so they could only buy fish bones to supplement for their brother, hoping they would be of some use.
"It's okay, brother will find a way to make money."
Lu Yang secretly raised his eyebrows, feeling that Tang Chuanwu's movements looked familiar: "Long arm fist?"
In nearby cities, only monks from Kaihuang Temple knew this boxing technique. Even if Tang Chuanwu knew it, it didn't look like he was a disciple of Kaihuang Temple.
Lu Yang was worried that the person who had taken over Tang Chuanwu's body was of a higher level than himself, so he rashly used his spiritual sense to detect and scare the snake, and asked the Immortal Fairy to come forward.
"It's just a child. There is no sign of snatching the body." said the Immortal Fairy.
Lu Yang touched the three Immortal Seeking Tokens in his arms again, but there was no movement.
"That's good."
If he hadn't been taken away from him, he would have secretly learned the long-arm boxing, but such a trivial matter was not worth taking care of. As long as everything was fine.
Before leaving, Lu Yang paused and secretly left a few golden beans at Tang Chuanwu's house. Tang Qiaoqiao was right. If he continued to practice like this, his body would really have problems and he would need to use decoctions to replenish his health.
Judging from the precocious maturity of these two children, they should know the principle of keeping wealth secret and will not show off their golden beans.
Just make a good relationship.
Not long after, Tang Chuanwu found a few golden beans on the table, and he couldn't help but feel horrified: "Who is it!"(End of this chapter)
