Strange Cards

Chapter 249 Qingdao Buddhist Academy

Shi Yu led Shi Yanlan over and found that not only the monks were sitting there striking the wooden fish, but also a considerable number of ordinary people.

Shi Yu looked at the group of people sitting there chanting and striking wooden fish, and suddenly discovered something terrifying.

That was the sound they made when they struck the wooden fish; it sounded quite strange.

A normal wooden fish should make a very crisp sound, each beat being quite calming.

The sound of these wooden fish was a dull thud, much like the sound of bones colliding.

As Shi Yu listened, she suddenly felt a little dazed and longed to sit with the monks and strike the wooden fish.

Shi Yanlan, being a child, was more affected and even began to slowly walk in that direction.

"wrong."

Shi Yu quickly grasped Shi Yanlan's hand, gently applying pressure.

Seeing that Shi Yanlan was becoming increasingly difficult to control, Shi Yu hardened her heart, grabbed Shi Yanlan's hand and rubbed the bones of her hand hard.

The intense pain instantly brought Shi Yanlan back to her senses. She turned her head and looked at Shi Yu with a pitiful expression.

"What are you doing, brother?"

"Wake up, you're being controlled."

Shi Yu took out two earplugs and said to Shi Yanlan.

"Take these earplugs and come with me to see what's going on."

"If there's a problem, I'll create a black hole and send you away."

"In an emergency, I may not be able to pinpoint the exact coordinates of the black hole, but it won't be outside Nanhai City."

"If something really happens, hurry back and ask for help. These bald monks are not simple."

"Another major war may be brewing."

Shi Yanlan nodded and put the two earplugs into her ears.

The monks seemed completely unconcerned about Shigure's approach, simply sitting there quietly tapping their wooden fish.

After a short while, the old monk in the lead stopped playing the wooden fish in his hand, opened his eyes and said.

"Esteemed benefactor, you have been listening for quite some time now."

"Why not join us like the other benefactors who came later?"

Shi Yu turned slightly to the side, shielding Shi Yanlan behind her.

I believe in the Way.

"But I do not believe in heaven and earth, nor in ghosts and gods, nor in the past or the future."

I only believe in myself.

"How interesting, benefactor."

The old monk stood up and shouted into the distance.

"A gentle breeze and a clear moon."

"Let's serve you all a vegetarian meal."

After the old monk finished speaking, two young monks carried over a bucket of porridge.

But this porridge is neither vegetarian nor vegetable porridge; it's a pot of fragrant meat porridge.

After the wooden fish was struck, the onlookers rushed over to get some porridge, but Shi Yu and Shi Yanlan remained standing still.

Shi Yanlan was quite tempted by the fragrant meat porridge, but she clearly remembered Shi Yu's words and did not act on her own.

"Aren't you two going to have a vegetarian meal?"

Shi Yu shook her head and said.

"I don't eat meat porridge; I prefer vegetarian porridge."

"Me too."

Shi Yanlan nodded sharply, then suddenly noticed a small, light green bell in her palm.

This bell was none other than Shi Yu's Shadow Stepping Bell. Upon seeing it, Shi Yanlan gripped it tightly in her hand, as if afraid of being discovered by others.

"That's a real pity, you two benefactors."

"Today, our Qingdao Buddhist Temple has come here to preach and spread the Dharma, and we have specially prepared meat and fish for all of you benefactors."

"But it's all good, as it proves that the two benefactors have a connection with Buddhism."

"I am Qingtian, the current abbot of Qingdao Buddhist Temple."

"My name is 㵘, and this child's name is Ningwu."

Although Shi Yanlan found it strange that Shi Yu didn't reveal her real name, she held back. She simply hid behind Shi Yu and secretly watched.

"You two are truly fascinating."

"Well then, our Qingdao Buddhist Temple will be holding a Buddhist assembly in three days. At that time, you are welcome to bring your family and friends to visit the Qingdao Buddhist Temple."

Master Qingtian then took out an invitation and handed it to Shiyu, who accepted it after glancing at it.

"Whether you wish to chant scriptures, preach, or seek peace and protection, Qingdao Buddhist Temple can meet your needs."

"Our Qingdao Buddhist Temple has produced a total of seventeen Buddhas over the years, and the next Buddha will be born soon."

"At that time, I invite you all to come and witness this, and together we will be bathed in the Buddha's light."

"I will definitely go."

Just as Shi Yu was about to leave with Shi Yanlan in her hand, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and turned to Master Qingtian.

"By the way, Master Qingtian."

"What's wrong, sir?"

Master Qingtian asked with a smile, but what Shiyu said next made Master Qingtian's expression change.

"The letter comes."

"Then we might as well do it ourselves."

After saying that, Shigure left, leaving behind the gloomy-faced Master Qingtian.

……

Shi Yu led Shi Yanlan back to the car, and then suddenly grabbed Shi Yanlan's hand and poured the Asura Killing Aura into it without hesitation.

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Shi Yu, Shi Yanlan was instantly stunned. Then, Shi Yu lifted Shi Yanlan's clothes slightly and looked at a spot radiating golden light.

"I knew that bald monk was up to no good."

After using the power of Asura to erase the mark on Shi Yanlan's body, Shi Yu then used killing intent to cleanse his own body, erasing the mark on his body as well.

After grinding off the mark, Shi Yu was about to light a cigarette when he remembered that Shi Yanlan was still in the car, so he put the cigarette back in the pack.

Looking at the silent Shiyu Shiyanlan, she tentatively spoke up.

"Brother, what does that old bald monk want to do?"

"The sound of their wooden fish can control people; it's not something normal."

"Even with my Thousand Illusion Ghost Eyes, I almost got controlled. If I hadn't reminded you, you would have been controlled too."

Shi Yanlan immediately recalled the eerie sound of the wooden fish, and then, as if remembering something, she spoke in a trembling voice.

"elder brother."

"Their wooden fish seems wrong."

"The sound was clearly the thud of bones colliding, not the clear, crisp sound of a normal wooden fish."

"Oh, you noticed that too?"

Shi Yu flipped his palm over, and a tooth appeared in his hand.

The tooth was clearly a human molar. After looking at it for a while, Shiyu threw it into the trash can outside the car window.

"This is a tooth I plucked from one of their wooden fish using a black hole."

"Those guys who were being controlled weren't even playing the wooden fish."

"Those are bone wooden fish made from human skulls."

"I scanned it again with my glasses, and the wooden sticks they used to strike the wooden fish were made of human knuckle bones."

Upon hearing this, Yanlan's face turned deathly pale with fright.

Because she had clearly calculated that there were no fewer than a hundred people sitting there striking the wooden fish.

If these wooden fish are indeed as Shiyu said, then these more than one hundred wooden fish represent more than one hundred lives.
