Chapter 149: Chapter 118 Monk Hongyun

It’s no surprise that the little monk didn’t recognize Su Mo, as there had been no prior announcement of his name.

Just hearing what the little monk said, Yang Xiaoyun instinctively grabbed the corner of Su Mo’s clothing.

“The situation in the temple is bizarre, it’s hard to say what kind of monk Hongyun is…”

Yang Xiaoyun whispered, “I’ll go with you.”

“It’s okay.”

Su Mo gently patted Yang Xiaoyun’s hand and said, “We have been impolite by not announcing our arrival earlier, and now that we’ve been invited, it would be rude not to meet them. Sister Xiao Yun, you need to take care of things at the escort agency… I’ll be right back.”

Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo and unconsciously tightened her grip on his sleeve.

Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun with some surprise.

This girl has always been resolute and unyielding. Why the sudden clinginess?

“Could it be… if that monk really has some method, you… you won’t really convert, will you?”

Yang Xiaoyun looked into Su Mo’s eyes, full of worry.

Su Mo found it a bit amusing, whispered a few words into her ear, and Yang Xiaoyun’s face immediately turned red as she let go of his clothes, glaring at him half-angrily, half-affectionately.

Su Mo chuckled, and before he could leave, Yang Xiaoyun suddenly whispered in his ear, “I don’t care, if that monk really bewitches you like you just said, even if you become ’Monk of the Flowers’, you must come back to me.”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh out loud, causing Yang Xiaoyun’s face to turn even redder.

The staff of the escort agency and the guard team had never seen Yang Xiaoyun showing such emotions.

For a moment, they exchanged glances, their eyes shifting between Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, some amused, some smiling, some nodding slightly, and the older ones even sighed:

“Being young is wonderful.”

Su Mo coughed, and the group quickly returned to normal.

He glanced at Liu Mo, who seemed to maintain his silence no matter what happened.

Su Mo quietly said, “I’ll leave things here to Chief Liu.”

“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, feel free to go ahead.”

Liu Mo nodded solemnly.

Su Mo waved his hand and said to the little monk, “Please lead the way, young master.”

“Follow me, benefactor.”

The little monk cheerfully led Su Mo into the temple without closing the door, as if to show transparency.

At this moment, in this courtyard, there were many signs of a recent struggle, including bloodstains. Fortunately, with the autumn rain, there was no need for much cleanup, as it would wash away soon.

Su Mo followed the little monk, directly entering the main hall.

There were indeed several traveling merchants resting here, although their expressions were far from relaxed.

They had entered the main hall initially to seek shelter from the rain, but upon seeing the fierce-looking monks, they thought they had walked into a den of thieves and dared not speak loudly.

Ban Tiankuang saw an opportunity after arriving.

Yet unexpectedly, despite his notorious reputation, Ban Tiankuang proved to be useless.

In just a moment, all the monks from the temple had subdued him.

Now, seeing Su Mo entering, everyone watched him eagerly, as if he was their last hope in the village.

Su Mo gave everyone a slight smile, but the little monk led him past the main hall to the next courtyard.

There were meditation rooms and a kitchen here. Passing by a room with the door slightly open, Su Mo saw a bare-chested monk kneeling on the floor, reciting Buddhist scriptures while simultaneously whipping himself on the back.

Each strike was vicious, causing the monk’s back to bleed profusely.

Su Mo glanced at the little monk with some surprise, and the little monk explained with a smile:

“Brother Hui Zhi had a past with that female bandit and didn’t want her to stay in Hongyun Temple. He tried to use the chaos of the fight to help her escape. Master’s insight is profound and saw everything; naturally, Brother needed to receive some punishment. However, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, need not worry, it’s merely physical pain, nothing serious.”

Su Mo grimaced, uncertain what to say.

These people had blood on their hands, and any punishment seemed justifiable, yet originally, each had not been such people. Under Monk Hongyun’s influence, everyone had changed drastically, and the reason remained unknown…

Just then, a scream came from another room.

Su Mo heard it clearly; the voice belonged to Ban Tiankuang, Ning Wubian.

He screamed and cursed, “Damn thief, dogspawn, even if you beat me to death, I won’t convert… Ow! Damned monster, you really hit hard, and you still claim to be a monk?”

The little monk seemed to notice Su Mo’s curiosity and directly pulled him to the window of that room, slightly lifting the window for them to peek inside.

They saw Ban Tiankuang at that moment tightly bound to a blood-stained ’Y’-shaped frame.

A fierce monk in front was continuously chanting Buddhist scriptures, while his fingers, palms, and fists kept striking the bound man.

With each hit, Ban Tiankuang screamed, but oddly, no wounds appeared.

For someone like Ban Tiankuang, who was accustomed to living on the edge, mere pain could hardly be considered significant.
