I rolled my eyes. "You just want me to absorb more resentment, don't you?" The monk chuckled. "Donor, when I first met you, I said that you have an extremely heavy Yin energy. If that's the case, why would I need to use a red blood Buddha bead to attract resentment? That would be redundant!" I stared at the Buddha bead. "Then how do you explain the red marks between the beads, clearly the traces of blood soaking through?"
The monk picked up the rosary from the ground, pulled apart the beads, and pointed to the red marks, saying, "You say this is blood? Donor, this is just cinnabar powder. Cinnabar is used to ward off evil."
"Cinnabar is close to bright red in color, while dried bloodstains are brownish red. Donor, please look, these red marks are bright red, not brownish red!"
I walked over in confusion, took the rosary, and examined it carefully.
It's really bright red!
"Are you saying that I've been deceived by that old Taoist again?" I whispered.
The monk immediately said, "Yes, I came to find you to tell you. I have been studying the scriptures these days and found that the refining of Jiaolong elixir requires the irrigation of the blood of forty-nine people. I suspect that the old Taoist intends to use the lives of the villagers for irrigation. That's why I rushed to tell you, benefactor."
The monk handed me the Buddhist beads and said, "Remember, do not have too much contact with that Taoist in the coming days, and do not open the door at midnight."
I Once everything is ready tomorrow, I will be able to subdue that Taoist.
After saying that, the monk was about to leave, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, where do you live?"
The monk said lightly, " I resides where we first met." To be honest, I didn't believe either of them. So, I found the village chief and told him everything.
The village chief, leaning on his cane, said, "That Taoist is an old friend of mine from the past, he couldn't possibly deceive me! That monk must be framing you for sure!"
The village chief has always been highly respected in the village, and I was immediately surprised, "Ah, I've been deceived again."
"However, village chief, no matter who is lying between the two of them, we cannot take it lightly and still need to be cautious," I said.
The village chief said, "That's natural. I will always keep the well-being of the over two hundred people in the village in mind. Qiwa'er, rest assured."
I laughed and said, "Then I'll trouble the village chief."
As I was leaving, the village chief suddenly called out to me, "By the way, Qiwa'er, where does the monk live? I'll go and find out."
I kept a thought in mind and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask the monk." The village chief waved his hand and said, "Alright, you should hurry home." I smiled and replied, "Okay."
After turning around, my face instantly fell, and it became colder behind me.
It seems that I know who to believe now!
The village chief's words, both overtly and covertly, are telling me that the Taoist is trustworthy, but the monk is not.
If it were a normal person, knowing all this, they would at least be wary of the two people.
But the village chief is not.
He even tried to brainwash me.
Especially at the end, he asked, "Where does the monk live?"
Clearly with some malice!
This further confirms my thoughts!
Village chief, we have a problem!
Thinking back, it was him who initially said that my sister was a lamia, and he was also the one who brought the Taoist! I couldn't help but make a connection in my mind!
Perhaps the village chief and the Taoist priest are in cahoots!
Their goal is to obtain the Jiaolong elixir that can grant immortality!
Realizing this, I immediately ran to the place where the monk and I first met, which is at the home of second uncle at the end of the village, after leaving the village chief's sight.
Now, I completely believe in the monk. So I told the monk everything in detail.
