Chapter 227: Becoming a Bodhisattva Once
Lu Sheng took out an oil lamp and a pen. She squatted on the stone steps and casually wrote a line. Then, she folded the paper into a paper crane.
Finally, she bit her finger and tapped on the paper crane before chanting softly.
The originally motionless paper crane suddenly flapped its wings and floated out of her hand.
Lu Sheng reached out and tapped the paper crane’s head. She smiled and said, “Go and find Chu Sihan.”
When the paper crane heard that, it flapped its wings twice before flying away.
Lu Sheng retracted her gaze, stood up, and looked back at Lu Zhou.
With his eyes closed, he conjured a seal with one hand and placed the other hand on the old monk’s head.
Lu Sheng stood up and was about to check on the situation in the front courtyard when she heard the door open.
From afar, she saw Qi Nan supporting Chu Silin before leaving with his subordinates.
Lu Sheng watched coldly, but did not intend to stop them.
Her gaze landed on the young monk who had collapsed by the wall. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before striding forward. She took out a rope from the s.p.a.ce Bracelet and tied him up tightly.
With this monk around, she should be able to help Dongfang Yuechu a lot.
She did not know how the situation was at Dongfang Mansion.
On the other hand, Lu Zhou looked through the old monk’s relatively important memories and indeed, discovered the part he mentioned just now.
It was a boy wearing a ragged s.h.i.+rt and carrying a basket.
He held a white pearl in his hand and played with it curiously.
Coincidentally, a monk in his forties walked over. When he saw the pearl, he took out the only fifty taels he had and bought the pearl from the child.
It seemed like more than twenty years ago, that bald old monk was not as old as he was now.
Seeing that he wasn’t lying and that he had already taken back the Nightmare Beast, Lu Zhou didn’t want to pursue the matter.
This bald old monk’s cultivation was not high and his lifespan was coming to an end. He would be a Bodhisattva for once and let him off kindly.
Without the Nightmare Beast, he couldn’t create any trouble.
As for that young monk, he did not have the heart to pursue the Dao. He even harmed innocent people for some money. It was useless even if he had talent.
He wanted to take away his Spirit Root and make him an ordinary monk for the rest of his life.
Lu Zhou ignored the old monk and turned to walk to the front courtyard. He saw Lu Sheng squatting in a corner. Beside her was a ‘dumpling.’
The corner of his lips twitched and he could not help but say, “He can’t run. Why did you tie him so tightly?”
Lu Sheng pouted. “I have to send him to Dongfang Mansion. To prevent him from escaping halfway, I can only tie him up.”
Lu Zhou tidied his clothes and said lightly, “Let him go. He’ll tell the truth.”
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. “Master, do you mean you’ll follow me to Dongfang Mansion?”
Lu Zhou frowned. “Why? Can’t I go?”
“No, of course you can!”
Lu Sheng smiled and hurriedly untied the rope around the young monk.
Lu Zhou picked up the monk and walked out the door. When Lu Sheng saw this, she hurriedly stood up and jogged after him.

Yun Shui Manor.
After Chu Sihan heard the report from a scout, he was about to bring Xianger to Dongfang Mansion.
A paper crane entered through the window and landed on the table in front of him.
Puzzled, he picked up the paper crane and slowly opened it. When he saw the name, his cold and handsome face became much gentler and his thin lips curved upwards.
The contents of the letter: “I can’t get away anytime soon. Lord, take Xianger and leave first
— Sheng. ”
Chu Sihan folded the letter and placed it on his chest. Then, he stood up and left for Dongfang Mansion with Xianger.
