Naruto: The Strong System (Naruto Power System)

"Perhaps the fire burned down the entire temple. It seems that the fire was supposed to be directed at our hut. Unexpectedly, the wind direction changed in the end and the entire temple was burned down."

Ye Chen saw that Sun Wukong was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, so he spoke first and solved the embarrassing situation for Sun Wukong. After all, he knew the entire cause and effect of the matter.

Sun Wukong glanced at Ye Chen gratefully, and then he quickly flew up into the air to check the casualties in the temple. After a few casual glances, Sun Wukong fell down.

"Amitabha, Wukong, how is the situation?" Seeing Sun Wukong coming down, Tang Monk hurriedly asked Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong did not speak and just shook his head.

Tang Monk immediately understood that the situation in the temple was not optimistic, but he still held a glimmer of hope and walked to the yard, only to see piles of corpses.

"Good, good." Tang Seng's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. It was the first time that he saw so many people die in front of him, and naturally he couldn't stand the stimulation.

"Wukong, Ye Chen, the poor monk wants to save these undead souls. You two will step aside for the time being and go find the cassocks." After Tang Monk finished speaking, without waiting for Sun Wukong and Ye Chen's reaction, he sat directly on the ground and began to chant sutras. arts.

Sun Wukong and Ye Chen looked at each other. They no longer disturbed Tang Monk, but walked to the main hall of the temple to look for the cassock taken away by the old abbot.

The two of them searched for a long time and searched almost everywhere inside and outside the hall, but no one saw the cassock. Ye Chen knew very well that the cassock was actually in the hands of the black bear monster. How could it be found in this temple?

But in order not to arouse Sun Wukong's suspicion, he still followed Sun Wukong to search for it. However, after searching for a long time, Sun Wukong was disappointed to find that the cassock was not in the temple at all.

"What's going on? Wasn't this old monk supposed to protect the cassock last night? Why is it missing now?" Ye Chen asked after gathering with Sun Wukong.

"I don't know either. This old monk is full of tricks. He set this fire in order to seize the cassock. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid the master would have been burned to ashes by now."

"But now the old monk is missing. Will he take the cassock and run away?" Ye Chen looked at Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong obviously hesitated.

"Monkey, did you see something?" Ye Chen asked tentatively, but he knew in his heart that Sun Wukong must have seen the old abbot burned to death in the fire.

"I...well, to be honest, this fire was actually supposed to burn into our hut, but I borrowed a fire shield from King Guangmu, so we were not affected by the fire."

"I couldn't stand the behavior of these monks, so I blew a breath and burned the fire into the temple. Last night... the old abbot was burned to death in the fire."

"That's bad." Ye Chen frowned, "Now that the old abbot is dead and we don't know where he hid the cassock, what should we do?"

Chapter 1456 Survivors

"I have no choice. Now we can only find the cassock quickly before the master finishes reciting the sutra. Otherwise, the master will be very sad when he knows that the cassock is lost."

Although Sun Wukong said this, Ye Chen knew that he actually didn't care whether Tang Seng was hurt or not. The main problem was that the cassock was given to Tang Seng by Buddha through Guanyin's hand.

If such an important thing is lost, and it is lost under Sun Wukong's nose, then when Buddha finds out, he still doesn't know how to blame him, so what Sun Wukong is afraid of now is actually Buddha.

"Let's look for it again. By the way, see if there are any living monks in the temple. Maybe someone saw where the old abbot hid the cassock." Ye Chen could only comfort Sun Wukong like this.

"That's all we can do. Let's go together this time to prevent the master from knowing that the cassock is missing." Sun Wukong nodded and agreed with Ye Chen's method, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the temple together.

A fire last night burned almost all the buildings in the temple. All the main buildings were affected by the fire and either collapsed or were turned black by thick smoke.

Sun Wukong and Ye Chen searched for people while looking for cassocks, but to no avail. "Monkey, do you think that cassock will be burned by the fire?"

"No." Sun Wukong shook his head, "I heard from Guanyin Bodhisattva that the cassock has a big back. It is said that even if you wear it, you will not fall into reincarnation. How can it be burned by the fire of the mortal world?"

"I don't know if the Bodhisattva is lying. If what she said is false, the cassock might have turned into a handful of ashes now." Ye Chen showed a hint of doubt about the cassock's ability to resist fire.

"Oh, it's all my fault. If only I had paid attention to the cassock last night, I wouldn't have made things like this." Sun Wukong said reproachfully.

Just as the two men were looking for the cassock, the sound of footsteps stepping on the ruins suddenly sounded from behind them.

Ye Chen and Sun Wukong turned around together and saw a young monk looking at them secretly, and they stopped together.

"Little master, come here, we won't hurt you." Ye Chen said to the little monk. The little monk saw that these two people were the disciples of Master Sanzang whom he met yesterday, so he walked over with peace of mind.

When he got closer, Ye Chen realized that they had met this young master yesterday. It turned out that he was the young monk who served the old abbot the tea set yesterday.

"Little Master, have you ever seen other people who survived the fire in this temple?" Ye Chen looked at the little monk and first asked him what he knew.

The young monk shook his head, and then immediately cried, "They are all dead. My master and other brothers are all dead. This fire killed them."

"Don't cry, don't cry. Don't worry, we will definitely arrange another temple for you to practice there, okay?" Ye Chen quickly comforted the young monk. After all, this young monk is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the cassock.

After crying for a while, the young monk finally calmed down. He briefly talked about his identity. It turned out that he had been doing odd jobs for the old abbot these years, so he knew a lot of the old abbot's secrets.

"Then little master, do you know where the cassock we lent to the abbot last night went?" Ye Chen asked after patiently listening to the little monk's words.

Chapter 1457 The cassock was stolen

"Last night, the abbot said he had to go out for something, and asked me to guard the cassock in the room, but the abbot uncle didn't come back. I was really sleepy, so I fell asleep."

"When I woke up, I found that the abbot hadn't come back yet, but there was one more person in the room. I didn't dare to get up. I only dared to squint my eyes and take a look, and found that it turned out to be a black bear monster who was usually friends with the abbot. "

"The black bear monster has a good relationship with the abbot. He always comes to the temple to preach to the abbot. We also know him, so I was not afraid at the time. I was just wondering why he appeared in the abbot's house."

"Then I saw that the black bear monster had been looking at the cassock in a trance. He seemed to have a special liking for the cassock that the abbot asked me to guard. But before I could say anything, the black bear monster walked out of the room with the cassock. "

"I got up and chased him, but I found that the black bear monster had turned into a black wind and headed towards his lair - Black Wind Mountain. I couldn't catch him, and I saw a fire in the temple, so I hurried to find him. There’s a place to hide.”

Ye Chen and Sun Wukong looked at each other after listening to the little monk's description. Now they were sure that the cassock was stolen by the black bear monster.

"Little Master, do you know where the black bear monster is now?" Sun Wukong thought for a while and asked where the black bear monster was hiding.

"He practices in the Batu Cave in Black Wind Mountain, which is twenty miles southeast of Guanyin Temple. I was once again asked by the abbot to send him something, so I know that place."

"Okay, thank you, little master." Ye Chen thanked him, and then asked Sun Wukong to take the little monk to fly to a temple so that the little monk could continue to practice in the temple.

Unexpectedly, before Sun Wukong could agree, the young monk raised objections, "I, I don't want to be a monk anymore. I don't have any cultivation or merit. I'm afraid I can only work as a handyman in other temples."

"Then you can return to secular life. I and I will not stop you, but thank you for what you told us today, otherwise we really wouldn't know where to look for cassocks."

The young monk waved his hands to indicate that it was not a big deal, and then walked out of the temple. Looking at his determined look, Ye Chen had obviously made up his mind not to be a monk anymore.

"Monkey, you heard what the little monk said just now. I guess the black bear monster saw the fire in the temple and wanted to come to help. Unexpectedly, he saw the cassock by accident and stole it. .”

"Hmph, I don't care what the purpose of his coming to this temple is. Anyway, he stole the cassock, and I'm going to get it back. The cassock belongs to the master, how could he just take it for himself?"

Ye Chen nodded, and then he and Sun Wukong returned to the cabin where they stayed last night. At this moment, Tang Monk had finished reading the scriptures and saved these wandering souls, and he was putting his luggage on the horse.

Seeing Ye Chen and others coming back, Tang Seng stopped what he was doing and said, "Amitabha, how are you? Have you found the cassock?"

Sun Wukong shook his head in shame, "Master, the cassock was stolen by the monster, but don't worry, I will definitely get that cassock back for you."

"Alas, this cassock is a precious thing. I told you not to show it off at the time, but you decided to... That's all. This is also a destined disaster. Let's set off immediately."

Chapter 1458 Black Bear Monster

Tang Monk mounted the horse, Ye Chen took the reins, and Sun Wukong flew directly into the sky, heading towards the Black Wind Mountain to find the black bear monster.

Ye Chen briefly told Tang Seng what happened last night. After hearing this, Tang Seng couldn't help but sigh, "For a piece of cassock, so many lives were lost. This word of greed is very harmful."

Ye Chen didn't say anything. After all, this matter was not Tang Seng's responsibility. If the old abbot hadn't been greedy, there wouldn't have been such a fire last night, and the cassock wouldn't have been stolen by the black bear monster.
