Hearing this, Guan Nan lowered his head in shame, "Where are we going now?"

"Looking for Huang Cuihua."

After the three of them left the city, Sang Mo followed the marks left by Huang Cuihua and arrived at the village where Sang Mo first went.

After questioning, I finally found Huang Cuihua in the clothing store where Sang Mo stayed.

She sat in front of the counter with a sad look on her face. Seeing Sang Mo come in, she felt a little sad and said, "I made a mistake."

"What's the mistake?" Sang Mo said and looked at the store curiously, "By the way, where is the boss lady here?"

Huang Cuihua sighed and suddenly opened the curtain of the dressing room inside.

A row of eviscerated monks suddenly appeared in front of several people.

It was the monks who wanted to molest Sang Mo that day, but Sang Mo caught them and left them to the landlady.

She opened her eyes in confusion, "Who did this?"

Huang Cuihua covered her face and sighed, saying nothing.

Sang Mo took two steps back and almost collapsed on the ground. She supported the counter and stood up, "It's broken. I became an accomplice."

The smell of corpses in the store was overwhelming, and Nianlan Yao's attributes were immediately aroused. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, staring straight at the corpses, as if she had been given blood.

Sang Mo was so frightened that he even forgot to regret it, and hurriedly slapped her on the back of the head, "What are you looking at, kid? Get out!"

Several people came to a noodle shop and sat down, and each of them ordered a bowl of noodles.

"I really didn't expect her to be a cannibal. She was raised by the old abbot of Wuxiang Kingdom and Jialan Temple, and she has always been a vegetarian." Huang Cuihua said regretfully after taking a mouthful of noodles.

Sang Mo's action of picking garlic froze, "Raise her up?! What is she?"

Huang Cuihua took a sip of the soup and said, "Spiritual snake! What else could it be?"

Sang Mo suddenly grasped the key point, "Oh! Isn't she the abbot's old lover?"

"Returning my lover! The enemy is still the same!" Huang Cuihua said and suddenly became angry, slapped her chopsticks on the table, and talked about her old best friend.

It was an ordinary afternoon, and the old abbot opened the scriptures as usual.

Amid the curls of sandalwood, a black snake suddenly slowly stretched out. The sun shone on it, making it radiant and refracting the light of the rainbow.

The old abbot was already over forty at that time. Jialan Temple was not as grand as Jinguang Temple. There were only three monks in the temple.

He just smiled knowingly when he saw the snake. The snake drank water from the fish tank by his window, lazily coiled up in a dish, and listened to the old abbot reading scriptures.

One person and one snake lived together peacefully like this all afternoon, and then the snake took Jialan Temple as its home.

Later, it opened its spiritual wisdom amidst the old abbot's chanting and began to practice.

Everything was going in a good direction until various temples began to compete for believers.

First, a pilgrim found a woman's bellyband at the feet of the Buddha statue in Jialan Temple.

Later, someone said that there were women in Jialan Temple at night.

Soon the news spread that the monks of Jialan Temple were having sex and hiding women in the temple.

The other two monks couldn't bear it and switched to other temples. Only the abbot remained.

He began to knit straw sandals in exchange for money, and gradually reduced the number of incense and candles offered in front of the Buddha.

He is getting busier and busier. He not only has to sweep fallen leaves every day, but also chops firewood for cooking. The time for chanting is getting shorter and shorter.

During that time, the spirit snake stayed with him and helped him drive away the rats that stole the incense candles.

In winter, the abbot made a nest for the snake and let it hibernate in his meditation room.

It was during this period that a pregnant woman came to the door.

The woman was still a young girl, and her family said that the child in her belly belonged to the abbot, and that the abbot was violent towards the woman. The abbot glanced at the submissive woman beside him and admitted the matter.

The woman's family suddenly became furious, smashed the door of the temple, broke into the abbot's Zen room, and moved away all the usable things.

Later, the woman took abortion pills and happily married, but the abbot was forever stigmatized.

After that, everyone started pointing fingers at the abbot.

After the woman's husband heard about this, he was even more furious. He led a group of strong men into the temple and beat and kicked the abbot.

The hibernating spirit snake was awakened during this period. It sprang out suddenly, exposed its fangs, and hissed to scare away those people.

I originally thought that the matter would be understood, but the woman's husband has been unwilling to let the abbot go, and is ruining the abbot's reputation every day.

In this way, the abbot was described by the world as a beast wearing a cassock, and was also said to have raised a giant snake with ulterior motives.

The angry people rushed into Jialan Temple, tied the abbot to a cross, and planned to burn him to death.

The spirit snake was also stun with sulfur and placed on the firewood to be burned together.

The abbot looked at the pilgrims who used to come to Jialan Temple to chant sutras every day. At this time, his face was hateful and his eyes were fierce, and he couldn't bear to cry.

The tears fell on the snake, causing it to transform.

……

At this point in the story, Nian Lan was the first to ask, "Is he crying because of the betrayal of the pilgrims?"

Huang Cuihua was unhappy after being interrupted, but she patiently answered Nian Lan's question, "That pilgrim originally had a good heart and his love for life was revealed in his eyes. But because of the abbot, he became hateful. No longer believed in Buddha. So the abbot shed tears."

"Then what does this have to do with my father? Why do you say she has a grudge against my father?"

Huang Cuihua glared at her and said, "Children, please don't interrupt all the time. Let the adults finish what they have to say, okay?"

"I didn't..."

Just as Nian Lan was about to refute, Huang Cuihua quickly interrupted sharply, "Shut up!"

She sighed angrily and said, "By the way, where did I just say?"

Xiao Nianlan just picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "The spirit snake transformed into a human being. You just said you didn't want me to interrupt, and now you're asking me again."

Huang Cuihua: "..." Who will take this dead child away?

After the spirit snake transformed into a demon, it showed great power and was about to rescue the abbot when a demon catching net suddenly fell and captured the spirit snake.

And the one who threw the demon catching net was the abbot of Jinshan Temple.

Because of him, the spirit snake watched the abbot being burned alive by the fire.

He brought the spirit snake back to Jinguang Temple, dug out her inner elixir, and released her blood to a group of women to drink every day.

The spirit snake also learned from him that the pregnant woman was instigated by him to frame the abbot.

Later, the woman's husband frequently found trouble, and he hired her with money.

The purpose is to make it impossible for the abbot to survive.

Just because when the abbot was going up the mountain to cut firewood, he said, "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the time in the world is worth it." This struck a chord with the abbot, who was in a high position at the time and was being served by more than a dozen novice monks, but was very tired.

He was jealous of the abbot and thought: You, the abbot of a small ruined temple, have to go out to chop wood and make fires for cooking. Now you don't even have money for incense. How can you say such words as "The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the time in the world is worth it."

You should be like him, you should be displeased and unhappy with everything you see.

So he encouraged the woman who got pregnant out of wedlock.

Later, when he learned that the abbot admitted the false accusation, he felt even more uncomfortable, so he bribed the woman's husband and went to Jialan Temple every day to find trouble.

Until the abbot was burned to death, it was all his instigation.
