Mushroom Man

Chapter 94: The abbot is narrow-minded and can’t escape if he offends you (Please subscribe to the latest chapter)

Temple of Childbirth.

In the dim Buddhist hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated the gloomy face of Abbot Shanren.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, slowly turning the Buddhist beads in his hand, making a slight friction sound.

"Your Excellency, the spies of our temple scattered across the three families have already investigated the matter of the Demonic Mushroom Master."

The young novice monk stood with his head bowed and spoke very respectfully.

Abbot Shanren raised his eyes slightly and motioned him to continue.

"The magic mushroom master who appeared at the Wu family at that time shouted, 'Damn Buddhism, I have fallen into your trap.'"

"Then the Wu family members arrived and saw the Yan and Wu clan leaders fainted on the ground, seemingly poisoned."

"They saw no trace of the Eighteen Bronze Men."

The young monk paused and continued, "In addition, when the Magic Mushroom Master appeared, the head of the Wang family was called out by Master Wen and has disappeared."

"At the same time, Wu Xingzhe suddenly came down the mountain..."

The Buddhist beads in Abbot Shanren's hand paused slightly, then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

At the same time, the young monk felt a little uneasy.

He thought the abbot would think hard about it as usual.

However, this time, Abbot Shanren simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You can go down now."

The little monk was surprised and couldn't help but look up and take a peek.

This sight made his heart tremble violently.

Abbot Shanren had his eyes tightly closed, his face gloomy, and veins throbbing faintly on his forehead. It was obvious that he was suppressing some kind of anger.

Seeing this situation, the young monk dared not stay any longer.

He quickly bowed his head and took his leave, leaving the Buddhist temple in a hurry.

After the little monk walked away, Abbot Shanren slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, revealing a cold murderous intent.

"Buddhism, it is indeed Buddhism!"

He murmured softly, his voice hoarse.

"I didn't expect that not only Master Wen was involved in Doctor Mo's matter, but even Wu Xing and Patriarch Wang also turned to Buddhism..."

"Okay, okay, Doctor Mo, ah Doctor Mo, four rank four mushroom masters wanted to kill you, your death is well deserved!"

Abbot Shanren suddenly clenched his palm, and the Buddhist beads were instantly crushed into pieces, with debris falling from between his fingers.

He had thought that in addition to Master Wen, there might be another Buddhist mushroom master involved this time.

But he never expected that the Buddhist mushroom master he guessed was actually Wu Xingzhe and Patriarch Wang!
It would be fine if he was just the patriarch, but this man is a businessman who often changes his attitude according to the situation and is a complete fence-sitter.

He will submit to Buddhism, and Abbot Shanren is no exception.

What really surprised Abbot Shanren was that Wu Xingzhe also betrayed him and surrendered to Buddhism.

"Strange, what's going on?"

"Didn't I use the deception mushroom to instill fear in him?"

"Logically speaking, a martial artist shouldn't have the thought of rebelling against me..."

Abbot Shanren frowned, puzzled.

That's right!

A long time ago, he had used his third-level deception mushroom to influence the cognition of martial artists.

At the beginning, he had just taken over the body of Abbot Shanren.

As it happened, Wu Xingzhe found out all this by using the Death Rattle Mushroom.

If Doctor Mo had not been in secret at the time, he would have happened to know about this and reported it to him.

Who knows, he might have been captured by the Buddhist sect by that time.

Later, when he learned about this, in order to shut up Wu Xingzhe, he used the third-level fraud mushroom obtained from the deceiving stone chamber to influence Wu Xingzhe's cognition.

At that time, the martial artist had not yet reached the fourth level of cultivation like today, but was only a second-level mushroom master.

In this case, it is naturally difficult for martial artists to resist the influence of the deception mushroom.

Abbot Shanren easily instilled in Wu Xingzhe the idea of ​​fearing him.

This made them afraid of him and they dared not reveal his secrets to the Buddhist sect. Moreover, he made him a knife in his hand.

Logically speaking, the perception that martial artists have been influenced by the Fraud Mushroom should have been deeply ingrained after so many years of subtle influence.

Why would she suddenly betray him and become a lackey of Buddhism?

"Could it be that a master from the Buddhist sect has come and cracked my method?"

Abbot Shanren had an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

After all, if the Buddhist sect had not intervened, how could his two disciples, one literary and one martial, dare to betray him at this critical juncture?
What's more, they joined forces to kill Doctor Mo, which was clearly a demonstration against him.

Without sufficient support, they would never dare to be so arrogant.

Moreover, this reliance can also make Patriarch Wu and Patriarch Wang unite and submit to Buddhism.

Abbot Shanren thought about it and only had one possibility left...

"It seems that someone from the Buddhist sect has arrived..."

Abbot Shanren took a deep breath, and a chill grew in his heart.

At this moment, he only felt an invisible pressure coming from all directions.

It was as if a huge hand from Buddhism was slowly approaching him.

But he was Abbot Shanren after all, and his character was far superior to that of ordinary people, so he quickly calmed down.

"If someone from the Buddhist sect has really arrived, then the fact that this person has not shown up yet and has directly challenged me shows that he must be worried about something."

Abbot Shanren narrowed his eyes, quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, and soon came up with an idea.

He gave up his original plan to forcibly recall Master Wen, Wu Xingzhe and Sekong.

Doing so would certainly allow them to be caught in one fell swoop, but it might also alert the enemy and cause greater trouble.

"If I act rashly now, I will probably be besieged by several rank 4 mushroom masters."

"By then, no matter how strong I am, I will inevitably suffer a loss if I am outnumbered."

"For me, the best option right now is to take advantage of their tactics and defeat these guys who have surrendered to Buddhism one by one!"

Abbot Shanren's eyes flashed with coldness and murderous intent.

He immediately summoned the monks and ordered them to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the three family heads, Wenwu and Sekong.

Soon, news came.

The Wu clan leader has left the Wu clan land and headed for the Wuxiang inheritance, where Sekong is also.

Master Wen and Wu Xingzhe stayed in the Wang family, seemingly plotting something with the head of the Wang clan.

"The Wenni monk is with the King, so it's hard to attack him."

"Clan leader Wu and Sekong are in the Wuxiang inheritance, so it is also inconvenient for them to take action."

"It seems that only Chief Yan is left..."

Abbot Shanren sneered, already having a goal in mind.

Although Clan Leader Yan was in the clan territory and not directly involved when Doctor Mo died, the young Clan Leader of the Yan Clan mixed up with 'Sekong' and appeared in the Wu Clan.

The guy who replaced "Sekong" is obviously a Buddhist. The young patriarch of the Yan family is in collusion with him, so how can the Yan patriarch be free from involvement?

"Well, I'll go meet Patriarch Yan."

"If he truly surrenders to Buddhism and intends to betray me..."

Abbot Shanren's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and before he finished speaking, his figure had quietly disappeared from the spot.

……

the other side.

Yan family land. Clan leader Yan put down the teacup in his hand, frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Yan Wuxin who was sitting beside him.

"So, Xin'er, you were implicated by that little lecherous monk yesterday, and that's why you suffered this unprovoked disaster?"

Yan Wuxin nodded, looking a little tired.

"That's right, the magic mushroom master must be going after that little lecherous monk."

"It is said that the eighteen bronze men sent by Abbot Shanren to protect him were all killed by the Demonic Mushroom Master."

"Eighteen bronze men?"

When Patriarch Yan heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

He had naturally heard of the name of the Eighteen Bronze Men.

Although the eighteen bronze men are all second-level mushroom masters, they are all ruthless characters who are not afraid of life and death.

An ordinary second-level mushroom master is no match for them at all. With eighteen people joining forces, even a third-level mushroom master would have to retreat.

However, the magic mushroom master was able to easily kill the eighteen bronze men.

He even managed to escape unscathed from the pursuit of Clan Leader Wu, which shows that his cultivation level is very high and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

It seems that this magic mushroom master must be a fourth-turn mushroom master, and is also one of the best among the fourth-turn masters.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this.

He shook his head, then showed a hint of fear.

"fine……"

"Fortunately, that magic mushroom master wasn't going after you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"You don't know how anxious I was when I heard that you were in danger."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wuxin raised his head and looked at his father, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

However, just when he thought his father was going to say something caring...

Patriarch Yan took a sip of tea and spoke with a thankful tone.

"At that time, I thought it was you who exposed yourself and gained the favor of the Formless Will, which is why you attracted the Magic Mushroom Master."

"Now it seems that it was just a false alarm."

"As long as the matter of the Wuxiang inheritance is not exposed, everything will be fine."

Patriarch Yan put down his teacup, turned his gaze to Yan Wuxin, and his expression became serious.

"Xin'er, the favor of Wuxiang Will is related to whether our Yan family can obtain Wuxiang inheritance, ascend to heaven in one step, and restore the glory of our ancestors."

"This matter is extremely important. You must be careful and not let anyone know about it. There can't be any mistakes, understand?"

Yan Wuxin listened to his father's words, and a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He thought his father would care about his safety, but he didn't expect that his father cared about only whether his favor from the Wuxiang Will was exposed.

Yan Wuxin sighed in his heart. Perhaps in his father's eyes, a delicate girl like him, even if she had changed her appearance, was still not as good as a real man.

His only value is to shed his last drop of blood for the Yan family and restore the so-called glory of his ancestors.

Patriarch Yan did not notice Yan Wuxin's mood changes.

Instead, he stroked his beard and a smile appeared on his face.

"Xin'er, your father has good news for you."

"Some time ago, my father asked the caravan to bring back a woman from another town who was not affected by the Mother River."

"That woman has a large pelvis and is good at giving birth. Your father struck her with one blow and got what he wanted. She gave birth to a younger brother for you."

When Yan Wuxin heard this, his expression froze.

The Yan clan leader didn't notice his abnormality and continued with a smile, "Now that he's here, I don't have to worry about having no successors or no one to take over the Yan family."

"Once you inherit the Wuxiang inheritance, you can be your father's daughter again."

"Also, now that I have my hands free, it's time to stretch my muscles."

"You will take your father with you to the Wuxiang inheritance in a while."

"Father, I heard you say that the third level that Wuxiang Will allowed you to enter has many high-speed beasts."

"It's too much for you to handle with your strength. It's just right for me to clear the obstacles for you so that you can inherit the Wuxiang inheritance as soon as possible."

Yan Wuxin felt a pang of sadness in his heart as he listened to his father's words.

He looked dazed, his attention completely focused on the words, "I gave you a younger brother."

"Brother..." Yan Wuxin murmured in a low voice.

He really didn't expect that while he was out worrying about the Wuxiang inheritance, his father was actually having a child with another woman.

And he only found out about this now!

He never expected that his father would actually say that with that little brother, there would be no need to worry about no one to take over the Yan family.

Could it be that his father was telling him that the Yan family would be handed over to his younger brother in the future and not to him?

Yan Wuxin really wants to be a daughter again, but that doesn't mean he wants to give up inheriting the Yan family.

He changed his appearance and became a man in order to inherit the Yan family and gain his father's approval.

However, now, what my father had already promised has changed like this!

Yan Wuxin still remembered what his father had said a few days ago...

"Well, well, well, Xin'er, you are indeed worthy of being my father's military advisor."

"I will be relieved when the Yan family is handed over to you in the future."

But now...

Yan Wuxin was in a trance and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Patriarch Yan couldn't help but frown.

"Xin'er, what are you thinking about?"

"Did you listen to what your father just said to you?"

Yan Wuxin only came to his senses when he heard this.

He suppressed the disappointment in his heart and forced a smile: "Child, I heard it."

"Father intends to enter the Wuxiang inheritance with me and challenge the third level of the Bronze Tower."

"I think, with my father's help, I will be able to succeed unstoppable and inherit the Wuxiang heritage."

Patriarch Yan nodded with satisfaction, a look of relief on his face.

"That's right, if you and I join forces as father and son, it will be no problem to take down the mere Wuxiang inheritance."

"Let's go. I can't wait to see what the third floor of the bronze tower looks like."

However, the moment Patriarch Yan finished speaking!
Originally, there were only him and Yan Wuxin in the room, but at this moment, another person's voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh?"

"Clan Leader Yan, you just said..."

"The third floor of the Bronze Tower?"

This sudden voice made the expressions of Patriarch Yan and Yan Wuxin change drastically.

They turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw an old monk wearing a bright red cassock sitting on the armchair in the room.

The old monk had a kind face and was holding a teacup in his hand, sipping tea leisurely.

It’s Abbot Shanren!

Abbot Shanren glanced at the two people who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy and put down the teacup in his hand.

He curled his lips into a creepy sneer.

"Clan leader Yan, young clan leader Yan, I am very interested in what you just said."

"Would you mind if I could have another good talk with you?"
