Chapter 67: The Unfathomable Monk

  The sunglasses-wearing hero didn't say anything suspicious, but instead asked me: "Little Dragon, just how strong is your sense?"

  "It should be as strong as it is, but just a feeling." Because now it's just a feeling in my heart, I'm also afraid of being inaccurate, so I don't dare to confirm too much.

  "Since you're so strong, let's get started." The sunglasses-wearing hero flashed out a dagger.

  Because there were no tools in hand, the sunglasses knight could only use a dagger to dig the soil. The two of us took turns, and after about ten or more minutes, we saw an arm appear before our eyes.

  At that time, I felt a tremble in my heart. It seemed that my intuition was accurate. The sunglasses-wearing guy looked at me with an unbelievable expression!

  Xiao Rou saw us looking dazed and walked over, lowering her head to look at the arm. After explaining for about ten seconds, she shook her head at us and said: "It's not very accurate yet, you guys dig a little deeper and take another look."

  I continued to dig down with the sunglasses guy, but I had a bad feeling in my heart. The body we were digging up shouldn't be that of the witch. If it was the witch's body, Xiaorou would have recognized it immediately after being with her for so long. Since she didn't say anything, it meant she couldn't see any resemblance.

  Because of this arm, it's much easier to get down, just need to be careful. After a few minutes, most parts of the body are exposed, except for the head. The whole corpse doesn't look particularly unusual, except for some wrinkles on the arm, there's nothing abnormal, and no feeling of rotting at all.

  "Looking at her clothes doesn't seem quite right." Xiaoyu walked over and said, which further confirmed my judgment.

  "Mei also nodded and said: 'I don't think it's like that either, but in this place, no one would bury a corpse. If not the witch, then who else could it be?'"

  "Let's just dig it up quickly." I was getting a bit anxious too, and really wanted to know if the corpse was indeed that of the witch.

  I was just about to take action when I heard a voice say, "Amitabha!"

  The sound was very close to us, and we quickly looked around. At a position of about ten meters away from us, a monk was standing still. The monk wore a Buddhist robe all over his body, with a very obvious tonsure on the top of his head, holding a relatively long Buddhist rosary in his hand, his eyes were especially big, and he put one hand on his chest, staring at us!

  Outside the sealed cave, the surroundings were weedless and unusually quiet at this time. Suddenly, a person appeared, and we couldn't help but be surprised. So when we saw this monk, we were shocked.

  After we all turned back, the monk continued to walk a few steps forward. The sunglasses-wearing man blocked our way and shouted loudly: "Monk, stop in your tracks."

  The monk stopped advancing immediately after hearing the Ink Glasses Knight's words, clasped his hands together and stayed in place, shouting: "Amitabha."

  The monk was now very close to us, he was not only tall with clear and beautiful eyes, but also very young, looking like in his thirties. However, a solemn expression made him seem somewhat unfathomable.

  Seeing the monk being so polite, Mo Jian Xia didn't continue and instead joined his hands together to salute the monk, saying: "I don't know where Master came from or why you appeared in the borders of Feng Men Village. You should know that people who come here are not ordinary, there's no exception."

  The monk smiled slightly and said to us: "Three donors, don't be alarmed. My Dharma name is Shen Xuan. This time I came to Fengmen Village to discuss Zen with the witch."

  When I heard this, my reaction was the strongest, and I directly raised the ancient bronze sword high. Because at first, Ouyang Ji just said that to me. He said that if you want to talk to the witch, but who would have thought it was that total rubbish.

  The sunglasses man stretched out his hand and gestured for me to put down the ancient bronze sword, then turned to the monk and said: "Do you know that the witch has passed away?"

  The monk nodded at this time, and again recited a sentence of Amitabha Buddha, saying to us: "I know this unfortunate news, and started chasing the 36 ghosts last night, found the corpse of the witch."

  "Huh?!" The sunglasses-wearing guy was stunned, and both I and Xiaorou were also completely dumbfounded.

  "Did you find the corpse of the old witch?" Little Rong asked the monk.

  "Exactly!" The monk nodded, "I not only found the corpse of the witch, but also cremated it. Now the soul of the witch has returned to heaven!"

  "How is that possible?" Little Rong asked, "What makes you say you cremated the old witch's body? I've been by her side all along, how could I not know she had a monk friend? You're lying."

  "Amitabha Buddha, good, good! This poor monk never speaks!" The monk spoke as he directly came before the three of us.

  We were at least five meters away from the monk, but he suddenly appeared right in front of us. At that time, all three of us were stunned and couldn't understand how he did it.

  "Your name is Xiaoyou, isn't it?" the monk said, looking at Xiaoyou.

  "Hmm!" Xiao Rou slightly nodded, not shouting out loud because no one would ignore the instant movement skill he had just displayed. The high level of this skill was unprecedented. As for seeing it, that was even more impossible!

  The monk sighed and said, "The exchange of Zen is nothing more than resonating with like-minded people. I had a chance encounter with Wu Po in Yunnan. Perhaps she has forgotten, but I remember it. This time coming here was indeed my own idea. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

  This monk gives people a feeling of transcending the world, and from his expression, it can't be seen that he is lying. I'm not clear how the two of them think, but in my opinion, what he said is true.

  "Master, you said that the witch's corpse was cremated. Is there any evidence?" Mo Jianxia asked him politely.

  The monk shook his head and said to me: "There is no evidence, but monks who have left home do not speak falsely."

  The sunglasses man held the dagger horizontally in front of his chest and said coldly to the monk, "Since there is no evidence, then I'm sorry. Suddenly appearing with a monk in this kind of place and saying so many strange words, it's really hard to believe."

  I thought the sunglasses guy was just trying to scare the monk, but unexpectedly, as he spoke, he directly stabbed the monk's neck with a dagger, and at that moment, I took in a breath of cold air.

  As the sunglasses hero's dagger stabbed out, "Bang!" A loud noise sounded, and the sunglasses hero was knocked flying by a force. He bounced back about three or four meters!

  "Amitabha!" At this time, the monk joined his palms together once again.

  Xiao Rou rushed over to help up Mo Jian Xia, while I held the ancient bronze sword and pointed at him, asking: "What do you want to do?"

  The sunglasses man and Xiaorou walked forward at this time, looking like they shouldn't have any major injuries. The monk looked around us with his eyes and said solemnly: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to prove it, not humble to say, the three of you add up are not my opponent, but I won't hurt you. I once heard the witch tell stories about Xiaorou, so I guessed she was Xiaorou earlier. I know your hearts are very anxious now, but what I said is true."

  I and Xiao Rou both remained silent, staring at Mo Jian Xiu, waiting for him to make a decision. He touched his buttocks and gave the monk a thumbs up, saying: "Master, you're really good at this! I'm ashamed to admit it, but what you said is right. The three of us combined are indeed no match for you. Since we're around the same age, I'll call you Big Brother. However, sometimes being powerful isn't enough to escape our questioning. Wu Po Po is Xiao Rou's master and also my master, and she has a debt of gratitude towards Xiao Long as well. We can't just let this go without a conclusion. If you don't produce some evidence, we'll have no choice but to burn the jade along with the stone."

  The monk turned his hand a few times with the large string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and smiled at Mo Jian Xiu: "I'm 101 years old this year, are you sure to call me big brother?"

  This remark surprised us three again, and we really didn't expect that the monk who looked like he was in his thirties would be over a hundred years old. The monk saw our stunned expressions and said to us: "You don't have to doubt anything anymore, although I don't have any physical evidence, but when I cremated the witch's body, I found a black birthmark on her calf. I don't know if this can make you believe."

  Xiao Rou nodded and said: "That's right, there is a black birthmark on the inside of Grandma Wu's calf."

  When Xiaoyu said this, I thought no one would suspect the monk named Shenxuan. They would only think he was even more profound. But now I'm thinking that if Wupo's body was cremated, then it means the one we dug up is definitely not Wupo's body. If it's not her body, then whose could it be?

  "Master Shen Xuan, so you're saying you really cremated the old witch's corpse?"

  "It's not good, the old witch was a practitioner of dark magic when she was alive, and there are many people and malevolent spirits that she had wronged. We must cremate her as soon as possible, or else once her resentment forms, I'm afraid there won't be many people in this world who can handle it."

  After the monk finished speaking, the three of us looked at each other and joined our palms together to pay our respects to him. This time it was a heartfelt thank you, because we had already known that the witch's corpse had to be cremated, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Now that he had solved this problem, we should have been truly grateful, and at the same time, he also joined his palms together to return our courtesy, looking particularly elegant.

  However, at this moment, I found that the arms in the place where I had just dug up the corpse actually lifted slightly. Although it was a very small movement, I saw it very clearly.
