Chapter 346 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [22]
He carefully got up from Shiga's robe, used magic to smooth out the wrinkles, then stretched and yawned before tiptoeing outside. He washed his face with his paws and licked his messy fur.
When the sky brightened, Jiang Xiyu glanced at Shijia with his eyes closed before leaping down from the pagoda.
He went to the main hall of Puji Temple to worship Buddha, and then, taking advantage of the monks' inattention, took a piece of fruit from the offering table, then found some water, and returned to the pagoda.
Shiga had already stood up, his figure standing still in the morning light.
Jiang Xiyu put down the small gourd filled with water that she was holding in her mouth, and then conjured up fruit.
Shiga turned to the side, looking down at the things he had prepared.
Jiang Xiyu said, "Master, please have some water and something to eat."
Shiga didn't respond, but walked over instead.
He didn't eat anything, he just drank some water.
Jiang Xiyu knew he didn't need to eat, so he decided to eat the apple himself.
But before his claws could even touch the apple, Shiga reached out and took it.
Jiang Xiyu stared blankly at him.
Shiga handed the apple back, but it had been cut into small pieces.
It turns out he didn't want to eat it; he just wanted to cut it into smaller pieces.
Although Jiang Xiyu could do it herself, she was still very happy that Shijia did it.
He held a small piece and slowly took a bite.
Shiga said calmly, "Don't wander around here."
Jiang Xiyu swallowed the apple and asked, "Master, where are you going?"
Shiga looked at him and said, "Puji Temple."
They are at Puji Temple.
Shiga, however, was going to meet the abbot of Puji Temple.
The abbot of Puji Temple was a highly accomplished monk. When Shijia met him, the abbot was still a young man. Now that he was about to complete his virtuous deeds, Shijia went there to enlighten him.
Jiang Xiyu nodded, and only continued to eat the apple after Shiga disappeared from the spot.
Later, when no one was around, he summoned the other cat demons in the temple and ordered them to return to the demon realm to relay the message to Xiu Jie.
There have always been strict records of demons from the demon realm coming to the human world.
He instructed Xiu Jie to investigate all the demons who had come to the human world in the past two months, in preparation for any eventuality.
Shiga didn't return until sunset.
Jiang Xiyu turned around when she heard the noise and found that there was a futon where she had been.
Shiga lowered his eyes, gesturing for him to come over.
After Jiang Xiyu obediently sat down, Shiga actually began to interrogate him about the Heart Sutra.
Jiang Xiyu's lips twitched slightly, and he could only answer seriously, thinking to himself: Sure enough, I can't be negligent for even a moment.
Since the monster did not appear on the first night, Jiang Xiyu and Shijia remained at the pagoda on the second night. The monster was very cautious. Then three more nights passed, and it was not until the fifth night that the restrictions set up by Shijia finally showed signs of movement.
Seeing that the city had returned to normal, the demon couldn't resist returning once again.
The restrictions had long covered the entire Jade Capital City. To Jiang Xiyu's surprise, the demon was so audacious as to come directly to Puji Temple.
Originally, the Buddha's light outside Puji Temple should have easily blocked those demons, but for some reason, the demons were able to pass through unimpeded.
Shiga, with Jiang Xiyu in tow, watched as the demon infiltrated Puji Temple and poured something into the stone incense burner in the center of the square—something that seemed like demonic energy, yet didn't quite resemble it.
Jiang Xiyu pondered for a moment and said, "So that's how he infected the people in the city."
The people of Yujing City are devout Buddhists, and Puji Temple is the largest temple there, attracting countless visitors every day. If that demon were to put the demonic energy that controls people's hearts into this incense burner, it's no wonder so many people would go mad if they were to inhale some of it.
However, what puzzled Jiang Xiyu the most was how he, a demon, managed to evade the Buddha's light and enter the temple.
Shiga didn't speak, but simply reached out and stroked Jiang Xiyu, gesturing for him to hide in his sleeve.
Jiang Xiyu withdrew her head.
Shiga then led him to the square of Puji Temple.
The demon was completely unaware of Shiga's arrival. By the time he finished and turned to leave, Shiga's restrictions had already manifested from underground, transforming into a cage that trapped him inside.
The demon transformed into a cloud of black mist and tried to escape, but was burned by the barrier and forced back into human form.
Jiang Xiyu heard the sound of hitting the barrier and peeked out. It turned out to be just a snake demon. The snake demon was really effeminate, with snake scales on its face and vertical pupils that gave it a sinister feel.
He recognized the man immediately when he saw that he was dressed in a plain white robe and surrounded by a halo of Buddha's light.
"Grand Master Yujing?"
The snake demons had heard of this great sorcerer before, but since their demon race generally did not believe in Buddhism, they felt that this figure was far removed from their race.
The most recent instance was a few months ago, during the great battle between the demon race and the immortal cultivation sects. It is said that this great mage has reappeared after many years.
The snake demon thought that such a trivial matter should not have alarmed the Buddha, but she did not expect him to come in person.
The snake demon tried various methods but could not escape the restrictive cage, and finally collapsed to the ground in a panic.
Jiang Xiyu's gaze turned cold when she thought about how this mudfish had made her sleep on the floor for several days.
The snake demon felt a chill run down his spine and immediately knelt down to confess his sins to Shiga.
"Master, Great Master, I know I have committed grave sins, I only beg the Great Master to spare my life."
As the snake demon spoke, she concealed the cold, calculating glint in her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu stepped out of Shiga's sleeve and slowly approached Shiga's barrier. He paced around outside for a while, but found nothing unusual about the snake demon.
He asked curiously, "How did you get into this Buddhist temple?"
The snake demon saw that Jiang Xiyu was also a demon, and only a faint demonic aura was detected on him. It looked at him with disdain, but because he came out of Shijia's sleeve, it guessed that he might be Shijia's demon pet, and immediately came up with a plan.
He said, "I was able to enter this Buddhist temple because I have a treasure on me."
Jiang Xiyu glanced at him, then suddenly sneered, "Oh? What kind of treasure is it?"
The snake demon tempted, "The treasure is on me."
Jiang Xiyu followed his wishes and stepped into the barrier. In an instant, the snake demon's five fingers turned into claws and attacked Jiang Xiyu as swiftly as if hunting prey.
Regardless of whether this weight is useful or not, let's grab it first.
The moment the snake demon made its move, a cold voice descended.
"evil creature."
The oppressive force within the barrier pinned the snake demon to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
Jiang Xiyu turned around and saw Shijia walking slowly towards her.
The snake demon gritted its teeth and trembled as it pleaded, "Master... Master, spare my life!"
Why did you make a move when I had such a powerful backer?
A mocking smile flashed in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, her pupils twitched slightly, and she immediately pretended to be frightened and ran to Shiga's side, stretching out her little arms as if she wanted him to hug her.
"Master, he's scary."
Shiga bent down and picked up Jiang Xiyu, his eyes cold.
After approaching for a moment, Shiga pulled a wisp of malevolent thought, like a cloud of mist, from the snake demon's body.
Jiang Xiyu looked at that evil thought and immediately realized something.
Moon Goddess...
