Chapter 55 The Demon
The bone umbrella hung in the air above Chen Shuai's head. Even though he was in a state of tatters, he still wanted to protect Chen Shuai from the wind and rain.

I have to say that the hard work of the Bone Umbrella is very touching. It would not be so scary if someone was holding the umbrella.

Chen Shuai was frightened. An umbrella appeared inexplicably above his head, and the umbrella escaped his perception. He was so frightened that he almost took action against it.

"What's going on with this umbrella?"

Although the Bone Umbrella was hanging above it, it seemed that he had no ill intentions towards Chen Shuai.

Chen Shuai calmed down. He could feel a gentle force on the bone umbrella holding it up, so it stood above him, blocking the wind and rain for him.

Looking at the bone umbrella that followed him, Chen Shuai fell into deep thought. He always felt that this umbrella had something to do with Xuanwu.

Although Xuanwu did not inform him of the existence of the Bone Umbrella, it was obvious that the Bone Umbrella would not appear because of Chen Shuai.

"Is it because I didn't come to the pagoda to sweep the floor when it rained?"

Chen Shuai thought for a while and realized that he was not very lucky today. It started to rain as soon as he came to sweep the floor of the pagoda.

Although it had rained a few times before, it rarely rained when Chen Shuai was sweeping the floor, so he had no chance to see the Bone Umbrella.

"Although the umbrella is very tattered, the rain was blocked by it and did not fall on me. This umbrella is extraordinary!"

Chen Shuai looked up at the umbrella with a bit of surprise in his eyes, which quickly subsided.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Shuai paid less attention to the umbrella and thought more about--

Who is the owner of this umbrella?

It doesn't look like Xuanwu's umbrella. After all, Xuanwu is dead.

What does the owner of the umbrella have to do with Xuan Wu?
Why does Xuanwu come to the pagoda to sweep the floor every day?
All kinds of questions lingered in his heart, causing Chen Shuai to fall into fantasy unconsciously.

Fortunately, this is not a fantasy created by the demon, but Chen Shuai's own random thoughts.

"I can't think too much. If I continue to think like this, I will soon come up with a heart-wrenching and bloody love story."

Just now, Chen Shuai guessed that there was a banshee sealed inside the Bone Umbrella.

The banshee and Xuanwu fell in love, but their identities prevented them from being together. Later, the banshee was caught and sealed in an umbrella by the monk of the pagoda.

Xuanwu failed to save people, so he cut off his hair and became a monk, abandoned his cultivation and became a sweeping monk to guard the banshee. The banshee was so moved that she held an umbrella for Xuanwu every time it rained.

Influenced by various film and television works and folklore legends in his previous life, Chen Shuai quickly imagined an alternate world version of the Legend of White Snake.

After dispelling all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Shuai held the bone umbrella and kept a careful eye on it. Seeing that the other party really seemed to just want to hold an umbrella for himself, he concentrated on sweeping the ground.

Due to the obstruction of rain, the cleaning speed was much slower. Fortunately, these obstructions seemed insignificant to Chen Shuai, so when the time came, Chen Shuai completed the cleaning.

Before leaving, he glanced at the bone umbrella still above his head, wondering whether the other party would leave with him. Not long after walking, Chen Shuai felt a few drops of rain falling on his smooth head.

The Bone Umbrella did not follow, but slowly disappeared into the rain and fog.

"Are you afraid of being seen by other monks? Or is it that the Bone Umbrella cannot leave a certain range?"

No matter what the reason was, Chen Shuai had a vague guess in his mind that the owner of the Bone Umbrella should be a demon from the Pagoda.

He stared at the top floor, where there was a thick white mist due to the rain, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

But with Chen Shuai's perception, he could detect that the demonic energy hidden in the white mist was very strong.

What Chen Shuai didn't know was that while he was observing the pagoda, someone was also observing him.

"I remember this monk was called Jie Shuai." A shadow was hidden in the rain, staring at Chen Shuai. He had not been lurking here for too long, but he witnessed the scene of the bone umbrella holding Chen Shuai's umbrella.

This made him a little strange, because he sensed the aura of demons from the Bone Umbrella, which meant that this umbrella was most likely related to demons.

Chen Shuai is a monk. Why would the demon hold an umbrella for him at the expense of himself?

"This monk looks ordinary, nothing special!"

He still had some impressions of Chen Shuai. He had asked Chen Shuai about him at his residence. At that time, he was a weakling.

Now too.

"what?"

The confused shadow suddenly noticed an invisible aura a hundred meters away from Chen Shuai, stopping to stare at Chen Shuai. It was a monkey, deeply hidden, both its figure and aura were hidden in the rain.

If he hadn't had a special talent, it would have been difficult to spot the other person. The monkey's figure was sometimes illusory and sometimes real. The phantom disappeared from the monkey's perception after just observing it for a moment.

"It's strange, why does this monkey show such strong hatred for a harmless little monk? Could it be that he killed the monkey?"

Xuying turned his attention to Chen Shuai again. No matter how he looked at him, he was just an ordinary monk in front of him.

"It's interesting."

The invisible shadow chuckled, not too entangled. Maybe this hatred was only related to Chen Shuai, not the kind of murderous hatred he thought.

Thinking of this, the phantom flicked, and a small drop of rain fell silently on Chen Shuai's body.

Chen Shuai did not notice it, but left alone. Watching Chen Shuai leave, the shadow gradually became illusory.

"Just now, I always felt like someone was peeking at me."

After leaving the pagoda, Chen Shuai walked quickly towards the Sutra Pavilion, meditating as he walked.

After thinking about it, it should be the owner of the Bone Umbrella. Maybe the other party is spying on him secretly.

After returning to the residence, the pouring rain stopped without any warning, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the original appearance of the night.

Chen Shuai was quite speechless about the weather that could change at any time. He went back to the house to wash up and then changed his clothes.

"It's so late, where do you plan to go?"

After washing up, Chen Shuai did not rest immediately, but was immersed in the pleasure of the liver experience.

It wasn't long before he noticed a slight sound of opening the door, coming from Jie Cao's room.

Then, he saw a figure sneaking out of the room. It seemed that he was afraid of being discovered by Chen Shuai, so he took a look at Chen Shuai's room.

Seeing that there was no light in Chen Shuai's room, Jie Cao thought that Chen Shuai was sleeping, so he quietly left the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

After Jie Cao left, Chen Shuai thought about it and finally did not follow up to check.

Everyone has their own secrets. As long as the other person's secret does not threaten you, there is no need to be so curious.

After resting for an hour, Chen Shuai rested. Before going to bed, he glanced at the room next door. It seemed that he hadn't returned yet.

This surprised him, of course, it was just an accident. In less than a moment, Chen Shuai went to sleep and got up to sweep the floor again.
