One Punch Tang Monk

Chapter 29 In his story, I should be...

From Puxuan's broken wardrobe, dozens of children's clothes flew out, and they all belonged to children who had disappeared before. The legend of eating monsters in Qiushan Town for hundreds of years seemed to be unraveled at once.

The once highly respected master abbot turned into a monster who eats children and lives forever. The angry crowd frenziedly tore at the sloppy monk who was no longer visible.

Blood, rags, mixed with tears and spittle, the torches fell to the ground, and the monks of Guanyin Temple stood aside in astonishment, not knowing what to do.

The reputation of Avalokitesvara Temple has been completely ruined. I am afraid that after today, people in Qiushan Town will never come to worship again. The Avalokitesvara Temple that Puxuan rebuilt by himself seems to have been destroyed by him.

Guangzhi was still holding the torch in his hand, and there was no expression on his face, as if he was petrified, or looking at something that had nothing to do with him.

"Uncle, should we run away?" A little monk with trembling hands and feet looked at Guangzhi and asked in panic.

The expressions on the faces of the rest of the monks were also similar. If they were involved in the cannibalism, it would be hard for everyone to argue, and they might be burned to death.

Guangzhi tilted his head, glanced at the little monk, and looked at the middle monk again, without any panic on his face, he shook his head and said, "What are you running away from? It is Master who is wrong, not us. Since we are right, why are we running away?" ?”

Everyone looked at Puxuan, who was no longer visible, and then at Guangzhi, their eyes lit up. The little monk who spoke before was short of breath, and said with a stiff neck, "Yes, we don't eat people, we eat people. The master is the master, the master is a monster, we should burn the monster to death!"

"Yes, we are monks, not monsters!"

"He is not the master, it must be a monster that ate the master and turned into him."

There seemed to be light in the eyes of the monks, and you said each word.

"Is it possible to say such a shameless refusal in order to live?" Sun Wukong listened to the words of the monks, and glanced at Puxuan. He never resisted from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even dodge.

"Uncle Guangzhi, you have a high status in the hearts of the villagers, why don't you come and be the abbot, only you can save the Guanyin Temple." A middle-aged monk looked at Guangzhi and said expectantly.

"This..." Guangzhi showed some hesitation on his face.

"Yes, Guangzhi is highly respected. No one is more suitable to be the abbot than you."

"Junior Brother Guangzhi, don't shirk it. You have to settle this matter. From now on, you will be the abbot of our Guanyin Temple."

A few more monks echoed, all the monks nodded, and no one objected.Now most of the monks in the Guanyin Temple are here, everyone nods, and the matter is almost settled.

Guangzhi looked at the crowd, as if he had made up his mind, he clenched his fist and said, "Okay, I won't postpone it any longer, so I will temporarily take the position of abbot. After this matter, everyone will choose you." The new abbot."

"I have met Master Abbot." The middle-aged monk who proposed earlier was the first to bow and shout.

"I have met Master Abbot." All the monks also shouted in unison.

Guangzhi nodded, turned around, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and quickly regained his composure, walking towards the angry crowd.

"Folks, please stop for a while before hitting him, he will die." Guangzhi said loudly to everyone.

Guangzhi received pilgrims who came to the temple to offer incense on weekdays. He treated them kindly and was loved and respected, so when they heard him speak, everyone gradually stopped.

"Guangzhi, this monster ate my little sister, do you want to protect him?" A strong man raised Puxuan and shouted with red eyes.

At this time, Puxuan's cassock and monk's robe had been torn into pieces, his face was covered with bruises and blood, even half of his ears had been bitten off, making him look extremely miserable.

Everyone looked at Guangzhi with hostility in their angry eyes.

Guangzhi glanced at Puxuan, his hands trembled, but his face remained unchanged, he shook his head and said, "This monster ate my master, and then pretended to be him and lived in the temple for many years. I don't know how many children there are, but today everyone worked together to catch him, which is really a great merit."

"However, many children have disappeared over the years, and people in Qiushan Township are panic-stricken. Since the monster has been caught today, we can't just kill him so easily. We will call the townspeople to the temple tomorrow to expose his crimes, and then Punish him again, and return Qiushan Town to a bright future!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and at Puxuan again, with some hesitation.

"I think Master Guangzhi is right. This monster has plagued my Qiushan Town for hundreds of years. If he dies, he can be killed in public, and he can also comfort the spirits of those children." The bearded old man came out, nodded and said .

This old man has a high seniority in the town, and most of the people present are his grandchildren. Seeing that he said the same thing, many people nodded.

"Okay, if that's the case, then lock him up first, and burn this evildoer tomorrow." The strong man carrying Puxuan nodded and said.

"Let go...let go...my master..." Guangmou, who didn't know when he crawled here, hugged the big man's foot, his hands were covered with blood, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Puxuan. Still unchanged.

"Go away, this stupid monk is probably also a monster, let's burn it together tomorrow." The strong man kicked Guangmou over, with a disgusted expression on his face.

Guangzhi glanced at Guangmou, nodded, but did not speak.

"Where is it hidden?" Sun Wukong glanced at Puxuan and Guangmou who had been tied up with straw ropes, and turned somersault cloud in Guanyin Temple.

Although Ao Xiaobai is timid, he is not weak as a dragon and has the blood of the royal family. If he encounters a life-and-death crisis, he will definitely transform into a dragon. The Guanyin Temple is so big, it is not easy to hide a dragon.

"I don't know where Ao Xiaobai was hidden to sleep, and where did that guy go?" Standing on the roof of the main hall, Sun Wukong looked around, feeling a little worried about Ao Xiaobai, but also a little proud, " What kind of man-eating monster is just a human being, and I was caught by myself, and when that guy comes back, he will definitely feel that he is useless."

……

The news that the child-eating monster was caught spread throughout Qiushan town overnight, and even several nearby small towns heard about it. I don't know how many people stayed up all night, hugging each other and crying until dawn.

Early the next morning, people rushed to the Guanyin Temple one after another. By noon, the big courtyard at the gate of the Guanyin Temple was already full of people.

Almost all the people from Qiushan Town and two nearby towns that also lost many children came. There were thousands of people. Many people had white cloths wrapped around their heads. They looked sad and the atmosphere was a little tense and angry.

In the center of the courtyard, several square tables were put together to build a simple wooden platform. There were two half-foot-high firewood piles on one side, and a cross wooden frame stood in the middle. Puxuan and Guangmou were tied up. on a wooden stand.

Guangmou's mouth was stuffed with a rag, his face was covered with blood, he twisted his body in vain, his gaze was always fixed on Puxuan who was at the side.

Puxuan was even more miserable than Guangmou, but there was no trace of fear on his scruffy bearded face, his black eyes were slightly squinted, and he tried his best to look up at the sun, as if he wanted to catch one last look.

Many stones, rotten eggs and rotten leaves were thrown on the two of them. If it wasn't for the efforts of the monks in the Guanyin Temple to persuade them, these people would have rushed forward and tore the two of them to pieces.

Guangzhi stepped on the stool and climbed onto the table, pressed his hands together, and said loudly: "Fathers and folks, please be quiet for a moment. I know the pain and anger in everyone's hearts, and I know that everyone wants to eat this monster alive. Let me tell everyone, what kind of outrageous things this monster has done, disguised as the abbot."

The venue gradually became quiet. Everyone heard that Guangzhi led the crowd to catch the monster last night, so they were very grateful and respectful to him.

Sun Wukong sat on the branch of the old locust tree beside him, biting a peach he picked from no one knew where, and looked at the people below.She had a good impression of Guangzhi, so she didn't bother to get involved in the affairs of Guanyin Temple.

She didn't find Ao Xiaobai, but she felt that Tang Sanzang would definitely find it, so she had to wait first.

Guangzhi saw that everyone had calmed down, pointed at Puxuan with a dignified expression and said, "Abbot Puxuan was eaten by this monster at some point, and this man lives in the temple as an abbot. Last night his wardrobe was stolen by Master Tang." His apprentice smashed it open, and there were dozens of children's clothes inside, all of which were the clothes of the children who had disappeared before, and only then did he reveal his true face."

When everyone in the audience heard the words, their eyes turned red and they cursed angrily. The crowd rushed forward and knocked down several monks from the Guanyin Temple, and smashed the remaining stones and eggs on them.

Guangzhi raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, and when everyone's voices became quieter, he continued, "This monster is greedy by nature. Last night, he saw that Master Tang's cassock was precious, and he wanted to take it for himself. They plotted to set fire to Master Tang’s meditation room. That’s why the fire started last night, but unfortunately Master Tang could not escape and was burned to death.”

Everyone glanced at Sun Wukong who was sitting on the tree branch, feeling a little grateful and pitiful, and looked at Puxuan and Guangmou with an even more angry expression.

E Guangmou, who was tied to the wooden frame, stared at Guangzhi, and suddenly struggled violently. The thick wood made a creaking sound, and the mouth blocked by the rag made a whining sound. As if wanting to say something.

Guangzhi ignored Guangmou, clenched his fists, with a look of anger on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "The other disciple of Master Datang is only four years old. When it rained last night, he was in the room. If he disappeared, he must have been eaten by this monster too! In the past hundreds of years, countless children have been mutilated and eaten by him, it is a heinous crime, and there is no redemption for death!"

"Burn him! Burn him!"

Everyone raised their fists and shouted in unison, with great momentum, and the anger in their eyes was as real as it was.

Hundreds of years of constant nightmares, the great pain of losing a child, all turned into hatred for Puxuan at this moment.

Guangzhi glanced across the angry crowd in the audience, looked at Puxuan and Guangmou, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Light it up!"

Two monks came forward quickly with torches in hand, and were about to light the firewood splashed with pine oil.

"Keep people under the fire!" Just then, a drawn-out voice came from outside the gate.

Everyone was taken aback, and the movements of the two monks also stopped.

With a loud bang, the two mahogany gates that had been concealed were kicked away. One directly passed through the crowd and embedded itself on the roof of the main hall tens of feet away, while the other was turned into sawdust and rustled. all over the place.

The noisy crowd fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked in the direction of the gate in surprise.

Two people came in at the door, a young monk in a red cassock, holding a little girl in a black skirt by the hand.

"Who are you?" An old man with a long beard asked tremblingly.

"In his story, I should be the zombie of the Tang Dynasty who was burned to death." The young monk said, pointing at Guangzhi with a strange expression.
