Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 118: No Abstinence
The scene was a bit embarrassing.

Ye Nianyi and the young monk Bujie were both staring at the only two candied haws left in the vendor's hand.

Based on the principle of first come first served, the vendor finally risked offending the immortal master and decisively handed the candied haws to Ye Nianyi.

It is worthy of being called Chan Chan City. If it were in other places in the world of immortal cultivation, mortals would be quite in awe of the monks on the mountain and would never make such a rash decision.

This made Ye Nianyi feel a little embarrassed. She always felt that it was not a glorious thing to snatch the candied haws from a little brother, so she looked at Yun Yi for help.

Yun Yi immediately understood and said decisively: "I won't eat it. Why not give it to this young master?"

Ye Nianyi gave Yun Yi a look that said "You're sensible", and then handed one of them to Bujie.

The little monk blushed instantly, but after taking a look at the sweet, red hawthorn, he finally reached out to take it. Then he immediately saluted with his free hand and said, "Thank you, both donors."

He now looks completely different from when he was catching the criminal just now. This true nature of his is not fake and is really likable.

Yun Yi took a quick look at Bujie and thought that it was rumored that this kid was an extremely rare "seed of no leakage" and was naturally well-versed in Buddhism. But now it seemed that he was no different from a greedy child.

He suddenly had some bad thoughts and took the initiative to urge: "Young Master, why don't you eat? Don't be embarrassed."

Bujie originally planned to find a place where no one was around to enjoy his meal, but after hearing what Yun Yi said, he felt even more embarrassed and opened his little mouth to take a bite.

Great, hooked.

Yun Yi added, "Young Master, since you ate my food, you owe me a favor."

Bujie stopped talking and his face was filled with fear. He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

How could the big brother who was so kind just now suddenly say such words?!

The abbot never let me go down the mountain to gain experience, saying that people outside are unpredictable. Turns out he wasn’t lying!
Ye Nianyi glared at Yun Yi, but guessed that he must have other plans, so she did not interrupt him.

Yun Yi said gently and coaxingly, "Actually, I wouldn't ask the young master to do anything that goes against the moral principles of heaven and earth. I just have a few questions I want to ask."

Bujie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this person was not that bad after all.

"There are too many people here, why don't we go over there and talk?"

"Um, okay."

Bujie was holding a candied haws in his hand, and felt that Yun Yi had no ill will towards him, but just had a bad taste, so he gritted his teeth and followed him to a remote place.

Yun Yi: "I haven't asked for your Dharma name yet, Master."

"The little monk refuses to abstain."

"I heard that there's a Chuzu Temple in Fusheng Temple that accepts female lay disciples. Is this true?"

Bujie replied while eating, "That is indeed the case. Our temple never forces anyone to become a monk. If a lay disciple is proficient in Buddhism, he can be promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple."

"Where is the Chuzu Temple located? Is it inside the Fusheng Temple?"

"Yes and no. Although Chuzu Temple is one of the "three courtyards" of Fusheng Temple, there are only female disciples in the courtyard, so it occupies the eastern Mianbi Mountain alone."

Fusheng Temple is one of the five major sects of the orthodox way and the only Zen sect, with "three courtyards, two pagodas and one Buddha".

The three courtyards refer to the "Arhat Courtyard", "First Patriarch Temple" and "Heavenly King Hall", and the two towers are the "Bodhi Tower" and the "Shenbian Tower". The former is used for meditation and enlightenment, while the latter houses many magical weapons and supernatural powers.

As for the last Buddha, it naturally refers to the Main Hall.

It is said that Fusheng Temple has experienced several wars and is no longer complete. If it were in its heyday thousands of years ago, it would have had eight towers and twelve courtyards and a large number of disciples.

After Yun Yi had inquired about the situation, he finally revealed his true intentions and asked the key question: "How can I visit Chuzu Temple?"

Bujie thought for a moment and replied, "You need to enter the mountain gate of Fusheng Temple first, and then go to Chuzu Temple alone. However, the senior sister there may not necessarily receive you."

"I heard that Fusheng Temple has set up a 700-mile ban. If I want to pay my respects to the mountain, is there any way?"

"This...I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Little Master, are the candied haws delicious?"

"Hmm, delicious." Bujie said and immediately closed his mouth with a conflicted look on his face.

Yun Yi added, "To be honest, my sister had a fateful relationship with Nun Ci Lan of the Chuzu Temple. Because of her, she almost lost her life."

"What? Is this true?!" Bujie was surprised, then he bowed to Ye Nianyi and said, "Excuse me."

After saying this, he looked carefully at the peach blossom mark between Ye Nianyi's eyebrows, "The donor has a peach blossom immortal body... but his soul is inherently weak. If it is injured, it will scatter and die..."

The young monk Bujie's cultivation was astonishing. He actually saw through Ye Nianyi's illness in just a few glances. He said, "Now the female donor has a thousand-year-old peach blossom spirit in her body. It is because of her natural closeness to the peach blossom spirit that she can keep her soul intact."

He looked puzzled: "But what does this have to do with the First Patriarch Temple? Could it be that?"

Yun Yi explained, "She should have had two years left to live, but she was struck by Master Ci Lan. If it weren't for the Peach Blossom Spirit, she would have died."

Bujie quickly chanted the Buddha's name, "Does the donor have any evidence regarding this matter?"

Ye Nianyi took out the Buddhist beads that belonged to Master Ci Lan, "This is her life-saving magic weapon."

"Why is her magic weapon in your hands? Could it be that..." Yun Yi nodded and said, "Killing someone means paying with one's life. It's only natural."

Bujie chanted the Buddha's name several times in a row, and then he took the string of Buddhist beads in his own hands. Although he asked Yun Yi and the others many questions, he actually believed it in his heart.

The name of Master Ci Lan was heard by chance in the temple. It was said that she had betrayed the sect many years ago for unknown reasons.

I just didn't expect that the next time I heard news about her, it would be like this.

Yun Yi said, "I was just wondering how to go to Fusheng Temple to ask for an explanation, and I happened to meet the young master here, so I wanted to ask you to help introduce me to him."

"Okay, why don't I talk to the abbot first? If he allows me to enter the temple...how should I tell him?"

"My sister and I will be resting in the city for a few days. Why don't we make an appointment? Five days from now, we will go to Fusheng Temple to meet early in the morning."

Bujie nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely wait for you two donors at the mountain gate that day."

"By the way, do you know a master named Kuhaha in the temple?"

"Kuhaha?" Bujie thought for a moment, then acted as if suddenly enlightened: "You must be talking about Uncle Huifan. I think that was his name when he was walking on earth."

"Maybe we'll have to trouble the young master to take us to visit him when the time comes."

"Well, okay, okay."

When Yun Yi saw that the young monk Bujie agreed, he tried hard to suppress his laughter.

He was worrying about how to enter Fusheng Temple, but he didn't expect to meet a noble person tonight.

Bujie was only about ten years old and had never traveled down the mountain. He was at the age of a blank slate.

In addition, he is kind-hearted by nature and seldom interacts with others, so his actual age appears to be even younger.

Therefore, Yun Yi was certain that Bujie would help him, firstly to repay Tanghulu's kindness, and secondly because Ye Nianyi was suffering from a strange disease.

Even though Yun Yi had practiced in the Demon Sect in his previous life and discovered that there were many true heroes there, he had to admit that the people of the righteous path had a good tradition and were indeed worthy of praise.

As a "cultivation seed" in the sect, Bujie treats people with utmost sincerity and has no bad intentions at all, which is truly rare.

After making such an appointment for five days, Bujie was pulled to Ye Nianyi's side again. They chatted while enjoying the candied haws in their hands before saying goodbye and leaving.

The young monk was very perceptive and never suspected Yun Yi was deceiving him. In his opinion, if Ci Lan hadn't hurt anyone first, these two wouldn't have come to him after killing Ci Lan.

And for some reason, he always felt that the male donor looked at him in a strange way, with a bit of admiration and pity.

Why should he have mercy on me?
Although I am just a little monk, I have everything I need. I am satisfied with just a string of candied haws.

I just can't figure out the real answer to this question no matter how hard I try.

The one who makes Yun Yi feel sorry for Bujie in his previous life. Seeing how innocent he was when he was young, and then thinking about how the Fusheng Temple fell into decline a few years later and the little monk became a killer monk, he must have suffered a lot in his heart.

What a crime.

As for who committed such a heinous crime, the blame will be placed on Futian Pavilion.

In his previous life, Yun Yi did not participate in this event, but he knew that this was the last time that Fusheng Temple would open its secret treasures. From then on, it became worse and worse, and in a few years it became a second-rate sect in the righteous path.

Thinking about it this way, Yun Yi had dealt with Futian Pavilion many times in this life, but unexpectedly he met it again this time.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are destined enemies.

As the night deepened, Yun Yi took Ye Nianyi back to Liuxianzhan. When passing by the counter, he saw that the Pixiu shopkeeper was already asleep. Ye Nianyi immediately had evil thoughts and wanted to go up and touch him.

As a result, he was stopped by Yun Yi and dragged back to his room, where he honestly refined the Nine-Transformation Soul-Fixing Pearl.

The more familiar he got with this girl, the more unrestrained she became, revealing her true colors, which were surprisingly similar to Nangong Zhuozhuo.

No wonder these two people can play together and become good sisters who share weal and woe.

Little did he know that just after Yun Yi closed the door, another person happened to walk into Liuxian Inn.

This man stood tall and straight, dressed in a silk satin robe embroidered with golden dragons, appearing incredibly noble. His jet-black hair was held back by a golden crown. His eyes were deep and bright, and his brows radiated a heroic air.

Moreover, he used hundreds of spirit stones in one move, which made the Pixiu shopkeeper wake up instantly with his eyes shining.

If Yun Yi was present, he would immediately recognize this extremely familiar face.

King Xian Su Xin!

He did not come back to life, but was refined into a mask by Zhao Wuxiang to replace his identity.

That was also why Zhao Wuxiang spent money lavishly. He passed through various towns and cities and got a lot of benefits using Su Xin's identity.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that Prince Xian Su Xin has an invitation to the Fusheng Temple to watch the ceremony. Originally, Su Xin planned to seize the tiger talisman, comprehend the secrets within, and then use the opportunity to watch the ceremony to obtain the hidden benefits.

Unexpectedly, he ended up dead, the complete tiger talisman was in Yun Yi's hands, and the invitation to the ceremony was "recycled" by Zhao Wuxiang.

Anyway, from head to toe, inside and outside, everything was just a favor to others.
