Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

"What's wrong with monks?"

Seeing that Fahai had relented, Liang Shan quickly pressed his advantage: "Monks are supposed to be compassionate. Even if Buddha knew about this, he would probably wholeheartedly approve of your righteous act of helping Bai Suzhen and her child."

Fahai's brows furrowed even more, and the look of inner turmoil on his face deepened.

"I'm really bad at taking care of people, let alone the baby in my womb."

"If you don't know how, you can learn!"

Liang Shan patiently persuaded her: "Besides, Bai Suzhen isn't the kind of weak woman who needs to be taken care of. You just need to give her a home and a place to stay."

"Home?"

Fahai was even more bewildered: "I'm a monk, where would I get a home?"

"Bao'en Temple!"

Liang Shan pointed to the meditation room behind him: "Isn't this a ready-made house? The environment is quiet and peaceful, the air is fresh, and there are even free young monks to help clean it. What a wonderful place!"

Fahai's lips twitched a few times.

He always felt...

Liang Shan was arranging a blind date for him.

"I am a monk, and I cannot marry."

He shook his head, his tone very serious.

"Who told you to marry her?"

Liang Shan corrected him, saying, "I meant for you to take her in, let her stay at Bao'en Temple, eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and cultivate her mind and body, and we'll talk about it after the child is born."

"this……"

Fahai fell into deep thought.

"Big brother, think about it."

Liang Shan continued, "Bai Suzhen is a thousand-year-old snake demon with profound cultivation. If you could keep her at Bao'en Temple and have her listen to your sermons every day, you might be able to influence her and convert her to Buddhism. Wouldn't that be a great act of merit?"

Fahai's eyes lit up.

like……

That makes sense?

"And think about it."

Seeing that he was interested, Liang Shan continued, "Bai Suzhen is pregnant with another child. Growing up in a Buddhist temple, she will surely become a highly accomplished monk in the future. Perhaps she can inherit your mantle and carry forward Buddhism."

The more Fahai listened, the more sense it made.

But something just doesn't feel right.

"Second brother, tell me the truth."

Fahai stared at Liang Shan, his face solemn: "Are you setting a trap for me?"

"You're my older brother, I'd never betray you, let alone anyone else!"

"this……"

Fahai once again fell into deep thought and inner turmoil.

Seeing that the time was right, Liang Shan stopped trying to persuade him and waited quietly on the sidelines.

in fact.

He had long discovered that the Fahai of this world hated evil, was eager to help others, and liked to fight for justice.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left Bai Suzhen, this thousand-year-old snake demon, uncaptured.

Instead, they killed Xu Xian.

"Never mind!"

Fahai suddenly stood up, his face filled with sorrow: "Since this is the cause I sowed, then I shall take responsibility for it."

"Big brother truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva!"

Liang Shan gave a thumbs up and exclaimed in sincere praise.

He seemed to...

I see a new star rising in the world of minotaurs.

Nai Liang and the like have to step aside.

"Then...where is she now?"

Fahai then looked at Liangshan and asked somewhat nervously, "Aren't you going to seek revenge on me?"

"Of course not."

Liang Shan confidently said, "After my persuasion, she has decided to let go of her hatred. The death of her husband is no big deal."

"Second brother is amazing!"

Fahai was filled with awe.

"Keep it low-key."

Liang Shan coughed a few times and then said, "I have arranged with Miss Bai to meet you two at my Dali Temple tomorrow to discuss... take over... cough cough, discuss the relocation."

"I will definitely be there on time tomorrow!"

Fahai clasped his hands together, with an expression that said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

[Ding! Tian Gu Xing's favorability: 50]

……

Outside Bao'en Temple.

After properly resolving the issues concerning Fahai and Bai Suzhen, Liang Shan took Zhou Ming down the mountain and prepared to return to Dali Temple.

along the way.

Zhou Ming looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Speak your mind."

Liang Shan glanced at him.

"Sir, you've been busy all day, why do you insist on bringing this monk and that woman together?"

Zhou Ming voiced his doubts.

"A monk and a woman?"

Liang Shan's lips twitched a few times.

These two.

But he is a master of the Celestial Realm.

It's a force that can make the entire city of Kaifeng tremble with just a stomp of its foot.

Do you think this guy is trying to set them up?

Dude, you're clearly saving the world!

If these two were to actually fight, at least half of the millions of people in Kaifeng would die.

"Now that I think about it, this world is more complicated than I imagined; even bodhisattvas exist here."

Liang Shan rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Bai Suzhen once said that.

The Bodhisattva had given her a prophecy: to find the little shepherd boy who would save her life, she needed to go to a high place by West Lake.

Fortunately, he found a loophole.

The halo of Xu Xian's savior was transferred to Fahai; otherwise, the conflict between the two would not have been resolved.

Also.

After a day of hard work.

He busied himself with various tasks and finally managed to raise Fahai's favorability rating to 50.

Try a few more times.

Once you reach level 60, you can unlock information such as the background of the generals, which may give you a more detailed understanding of this world.

of course.

What interested him most were Fahai's three abilities.

He raised his head.

I looked at the system panel

[The Lone Star Monk: Fahai]

[Combat Strength: Celestial Realm]

[Abilities: Great Heavenly Dragon, Indestructible, Super Intelligence]

【Favourability: 50】

[Please note that when the general's favorability rating drops to -100, the host's life will be in danger.]

When a general's favorability reaches 100, the host can recruit the general and choose one of the general's abilities to acquire.

Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Indestructible Vajra, Super Wisdom.

All three abilities seem quite good.

The first should be the attack method.

The second is defensive measures.

The third one...

It also seems to increase wisdom.

"Damn system, if you screw me over again this time, don't blame me for turning on you!"

He snorted coldly and issued a warning to the system.

……

Dali Temple.

The Magistrate's Court.

After returning from Bao'en Temple.

Liang Shan suddenly remembered that tomorrow would be his first court appearance after being promoted.

then.

Before he could even sit down properly, he sent Zhou Ming to invite Han Zhong.

"Sir, you wanted to see me?"

Han Zhong scurried in, beaming with smiles, his attitude even more respectful than in the morning.

"Han Shaoqing, please sit down."

Liang Shan pointed to the chair next to him and personally poured him a cup of tea.

Han Zhong was flattered and overwhelmed. He held the teacup with both hands, only daring to sit on one side, and kept his back ramrod straight.

"Um... I want to ask you something."

Liang Shan considered his words carefully before speaking, "Is there anything I should be aware of when attending court tomorrow?"

"Attend court?"

Han Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "This humble official forgot, sir, you are now a third-rank official, and you are indeed required to attend the court assembly tomorrow!"

That's why I'm asking you for advice.

Liang Shan put down his teacup, his face showing humility: "You've served in the Dali Temple for so many years, you should know the rules of the court very well, right?"
