The two paddled hard, trying to get to the island in the middle of the lake as soon as possible, but the strange thing was that no matter how hard they tried, the island in the middle of the lake was always hanging alone on the lake not far away, and it seemed that they could never get close!
Dehui and Dehai realized the strangeness and knew that they might have encountered a ghost fighting against the wall, so they began to chant the Buddha's name. With the blessing of the Buddha, they finally broke through the ghost fighting against the wall and began to move forward.
Seeing that we were getting closer and closer to the island in the middle of the lake, but at this moment, the mutation happened again!
In the depths of the lake, there was a sudden loud noise, setting off waves of turbulent waves. Their boat was like a floating leaf in the huge waves, swaying this way and that, and almost capsized into the lake several times!
In order to avoid being swallowed by the huge waves, Dehui and Dehai had no choice but to give up the idea of landing on the island and began to retreat.
Strangely enough, as they retreated, the strange huge waves gradually calmed down, and soon the lake surface returned to calm.
It was as if the huge waves appeared specifically to prevent them from landing on the island in the middle of the lake.
The tall Dehui and the short Dehai were the first disciples of Master Yinguang. Neither of them could land on the island in the middle of the lake. The other disciples in Lanruo Temple were naturally at a loss.
"My martial arts skills are low, so we found Master Cheng Yuan. I hope Master Cheng Yuan can help to find Master Yinguang. I, Lanruo Temple, will be grateful!"
After finishing speaking, Dehui and Dehae clasped their hands together and looked at me with pleading faces.
"I have understood your request, and I deeply regret what happened to Master Yinguang. However, I am just a businessman. I wonder how much remuneration you plan to give?"
I smiled lightly and said to Dehui and Dehai.
The short Dehai was a little unhappy: "Master Cheng Yuan, we have heard that you are a righteous man and have done many good deeds. Recovering Master Yin Guang is an act of immeasurable merit. What else do you want in return?"
"Sorry, I'm just a businessman. If you two don't agree with my approach, then please go back!"
Hearing Dehai's words, I also turned cold, stood up directly, and asked Akang to see off the guests!
Opening the door for business, charity cannot be used as food. My previous actions were either designated by the Yin Yang Association, or were related to the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot or the wizards of Southern Xinjiang. Naturally, I will not care about the others.
But the disappearance of Master Yin Guang has nothing to do with me. I'm not some Holy Virgin White Lotus. I can't be stupid enough to help in vain, right?
This Dehai wants to kidnap me morally, but he really thinks too much!
"you……"
When Dehai saw my merciless rejection, he was about to get angry. Dehui quickly pulled him aside.
"Master Cheng Yuan, don't be angry. This junior brother of mine was a little reckless and bumped into you. I hope Master Cheng Yuan can forgive me!"
This Dehui spoke more politely, but I still didn't give him a good look.
"Master Dehui, no matter what your status is, everyone who comes to my place is my customer. I treat all customers equally. Since you are asking me for help, it's better to show a little sincerity! "
"Master Cheng Yuan is absolutely right, we were the ones who were reckless!"
Dehui hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and took off a string of Buddhist beads from his hand.
"Master Cheng Yuan, we Buddhist disciples don't have any money. This string of Rudraksha Bodhisattva was left by the previous master Yinjue. Wearing it on your hand can detect evil spirits and eliminate disasters. If Master Cheng Yuan does not dislike it, I am willing to take this string of Buddhist beads as reward, I wonder what Cheng Yuan wants to do?"
I looked down and saw that the string of Buddhist beads in Dehui's hand was made of 108 chicken fat and yellow beeswax beads. It was of extraordinary appearance and the Buddha's dharma was constantly being released. It was the best!
"Senior brother, no!"
Before he could speak, Na Dehai hurriedly stopped him and said, "This Rudraksha is priceless. It was passed down to you by Master Yinjue personally. How can you give it to others at will?"
"Junior brother, the Sixth Group said that when you have your own nature, don't let your mind be too involved in external things. In order to find Master Yin Guang and preserve the inheritance of Lanruo Temple, what does a string of Buddhist beads mean to me? The decision has been made, you don’t need to say more!”
With that said, Dehui handed over the Buddhist beads.
"Master Cheng Yuan, this is the most valuable thing in my body. If Master Cheng Yuan is still not satisfied, we can only return to Luoruo Temple and mobilize all our brothers to find Master Yinguang."
I have to say that this Buddhist bead is indeed a good thing. I felt secretly happy in my heart, but my face did not show any emotional change, just a helpless sigh.
"Forget it, since the two masters are so sincere, I will help you!"
After saying that, he took the Rudraksha Bodhi and put it on his body. He immediately felt the holy power of the Tao, instilling it into his whole body, and felt extremely comfortable!
Dehui clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you so much, Master Cheng. I wonder when Master Cheng can set off?"
"Tell me the specific location of Crescent Lake and leave now!"
Dehui looked happy and quickly told me the location of Crescent Lake. Then he told me some personal information about Master Yinguang, and then he took Dehai and said goodbye.
"Mr. Cheng, would you like to ask Mr. Bai and Sister Lonnie to help?"
Akang stepped forward and asked me.
"No need!"
I waved my hand and rejected Akang's proposal.
Lonnie was slightly injured in the battle with the monster yesterday. I want her to recover for a while.
Hu Hua has been doing business since he came back yesterday, and there is an endless stream of people looking for him to see things. I don't want to trouble him too much.
As for Bai Ze, he was focused on finding An Jingjing, and this mission probably had nothing to do with the Southern Xinjiang wizard and the Soul Refining Pot fragments. In my opinion, it wasn’t too difficult, so he decided to go find Yin Guang alone. Grandmaster.
After giving Akang a few words, I walked out of the store, took a taxi, and sped straight to the north of the incense and candle shop.
More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the end of a remote road. I paid the driver and asked him to leave, and I continued northward as Dehui said.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the sky gradually became gloomy. Looking up, I saw a wilderness all around. Not far ahead, a sparkling lake suddenly appeared in my sight.
That should be Crescent Lake!
I couldn't help but quicken my pace, and after more than ten minutes, I finally arrived at Crescent Lake.
This lake is so large that you can't see the end at a glance. It is shaped like a crescent moon, so it is called Crescent Lake.
The lake was deep and quiet, with a layer of hazy mist covering the lake. There was not a single cruise ship visible on the water, and there was even no sign of life on the lake's edge.
I felt as if I had entered a backwater area that I had never entered before.
