s the "three bows" in traditional rituals.Greeting in Zen involves "standing and not kneeling," . Although the old abbot is elderly, we are from different paths, so he calls us "young friends" and we...Master, spare my life

Whose apprentice is this

"Hearing that voice, it sounds like a child still. I took a step back and looked closely at this hand."

The bones in his hand were small, perhaps a child around the same age as Lang.

"Who are you Come out." I whispered.

In this pitch-black, cavernous hall, even a slightly loud voice would startle oneself, for fear of awakening something dreadful.

That hand probably wanted to bring the Buddhist chanting recorder in a long time ago, but never dared to reach out. Seeing me about to pick it up, it panicked and desperately reached out to grab it.

"...Are you human" a boy's voice asked.

I held a lotus flower in one hand and crouched down to lift the tablecloth.

A little bald head appeared before me.

Needless to say, they must be the disciples of Master Huqing.

"Master Huiqing was your teacher" I whispered.

The little monk nodded, borrowing the faint light from between my fingers to search around. He found a baseball cap and put it on.

"My master didn't let me come, I snuck in here...I couldn't get into the banquet hall at first, but then there was a power outage. I thought it was my chance, but as soon as I got in, I saw a ghost!"

The little monk was on the verge of tears: "I followed the sound of the Buddha's name, but my master is gone…sniff…sniff…where did my master go"

"Little monk, are you a lay disciple" I asked.

He shook his head and said, “I am a true monk who has taken monastic vows!”

"This small Becoming a monk so young Seems like Master Huixing is planning to spend ten or eight years cultivating an heir."

This little monk must be his very important disciple, right

"Did you see what happened here Why is everyone gone" I crawled under the table and sat with him.

The little monk sniffed, then whispered, "I snuck in because the power was out here. It was so cold when I came in, I shivered uncontrollably. Then I saw everyone lying unconscious, and I was so scared I wanted to run away, but it turned out that it was easy to get in, but impossible to get out! And there are people fighting!"

"Right! Someone's fighting! Who are they fighting Did you see" I hurried to ask.

“...I saw a white portal appear, and then it was silent inside—”

He had just said to be quiet, and the table where we were hiding suddenly shook, making me cover my mouth in fright!

The little monk wished he could shove his fists into his mouth. He was so scared, on the verge of tears, and kept staring at me with pleading eyes.

But I don't have any talismans or magic weapons on hand! Looks like from now on, I'll need to carry a life-saving companion with me at all times.

Hmm Lucky guy

I looked at the faint glow emanating from between my fingers. Ji said just now that this glazed thousand layers of snow wasn't used for illumination. The intangible and shapeless cultivation had been accumulated inside it, and in times of crisis, it could be released to save one's life.

Jiang Qiyun only taught me one incantation, which I immediately recited silently in my mind.

The glow of the lotus flower grew stronger, so strong that even the tablecloth couldn't hide it. The table shook more violently, indicating that many things had been attracted over —

"One, two, three! Let's rush out right now!" I said to the young monk.

"Huh Going out to die"

"Aren't you going out there to die" I glared at him.

The little monk shook his head with a pout and said, "My master said not to believe women... I'd better just wait for my master to come save me—"

Darn it! Your master is still waiting for me to save him, isn't he!

The thing that slammed into the table was the monster Jiang Qiyun had blocked at the door earlier — a creature with a human head and a fleshy, long tail trailing behind it. It could fly and wriggle like a giant human-faced earthworm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

There's only one right now, perhaps it drifted out due to the spatial distortion caused by Jiang Qiyun and the old witch Mrs. Situ fighting.

Outside, there are a few tables occupied by representatives from the Mu and Shen families. Perhaps some of these influential families have brought along things for exorcising demons

"If you don't run, I'm leaving on my own!" I crouched down, silently reciting Qian Chong Xue's incantation to dispel the darkness outside.

He gave me a shield-like barrier, I should be able to safely rush to my grandfather's table, right

This was an engagement party. The Mu family didn't want to appear to be showing off, so the patriarch stayed out of sight and waited until the wedding to come out and accept bows.

So the representatives from my family were my grandfather and my father, along with some relatives.

After reciting the incantation, I flung the tablecloth aside and bolted out the door. The "human-headed earthworm" that had been incessantly bumping against the table lunged at me with a sudden burst of speed.

With a deafening clang, a burst of light erupted beside me, sending the monster flying back like it had hit bulletproof glass.

Really disgusting...

I clutched a fire extinguisher in one hand and protectively held my stomach with the other. A burning sensation started in my abdomen.

The fetus is growing, but it hasn't yet gained enough strength to fight off these demons from other worlds.

I have to protect my belly well, but this pregnancy seems different. Every time I get nervous, my lower abdomen aches like it's burning. Could this baby be a hothead

Oh no, please don't! If it were someone like the unruly and arrogant Kintaro, or the cold and cruel Rahula, I would have to worry a lot more!

Though Little Monk Mingming said he wouldn't follow me, he still ran out, tightly gripping my clothes.

"Pretty sister... ah, no, Lady, where do we run to"

"...Cut the crap." How come his tone sounded so much like a reclusive monk's

I found where my grandfather and father were, they were actually holding talismans! Unfortunately the other party was too powerful, before they could even defend themselves, they were taken down!

I reached into my dad's coat pocket and pulled out a few rolled-up red talismans from his cigarette case. What were these things

The little monk clung to my leg in fright, "Bang!" Another loud crash echoed as the monster was again blocked by Ji Du's protective shield barrier.

This time the impact was too heavy, the monster actually sprayed out black blood itself.

That thick, black blood was disgusting!

I quickly unfolded those few red talismans and froze upon seeing them!

"This is no ordinary spell!"

Simply put, talismans drawn by mortals need to be empowered by celestial deities, so there are many intricate processes involved. Celestial deities, however, don't go through such trouble; the talismans they use are different from those used by mortals.

And red paper talismans are rarely seen, especially these few. Under the illumination of Qian Chong Xue's silver light, they actually appear pinkish!

Pink!

My dad, who's in his forties, uses pink paper to make talismans!

To make even demons and ghosts fall for you

I held the strangely-drawn talismans in my hand, unsure what to do. Should I try burning one The incantation on them was much simpler than before, but seeing that Jiang Qiyun had drawn it, it must be a commonly used spell by immortals.

"Lady, lady donor… that monster is so disgusting. Is it vomiting blood"

Vomiting blood

I lowered my head and saw the man's head spitting out large, mouthfulfuls of black blood, staining the carpet and spreading towards us — plains."Little Qiao, those girls definitely came here. There's a bag of snack wrappers, still pretty new. They must have stopped here before heading inside. It probably wasn't dark yet, so they didn'...
