The abbot was too lazy to pay any more attention to the monk. There was no point in arguing with a fool.

He said to the mother and daughter, "I am leaving now."

Unexpectedly, the monk blocked his way and asked, "What? You want to leave after you cheated someone?"

The abbot looked at him with a righteous look, and his anger grew: "You are shallow-minded, so go and fix your own shortcomings, don't easily accuse others of deceiving others."

The monk snorted and laughed: "This little girl is obviously possessed by an evil ghost. The ghost and the human cannot merge together, so she fell to the ground and twitched, unconscious. But you gave her some water to drink. I see..."

He glanced at the drink bottle in the little girl's hand: "That's not water, but poison, right?"

"When the time comes, you can just randomly detoxify them, and people will believe that you are a skilled doctor and be fooled by you."

The abbot was so angry that he almost laughed, but the mother and daughter were a little scared. They were also ordinary people, and of course they would be scared when they heard about ghosts and gods.

The monk held out his hand to the little girl: "Give me the bottle."

The little girl pursed her lips, and although she was reluctant, she still slowly handed the bottle over.

Before the monk could get it, the abbot snatched the bottle back.

"This is my stuff. Why are you asking for it? Why did it end up in your hands?"

The monk said angrily, "You are clearly guilty of being a thief. If you were not guilty, what would you have stolen?"

The abbot sneered and didn't fall for it at all: "Okay, then give me your cassock and your Buddhist beads. Even though they are not worth much, you have to give them to me. If you don't give them to me, it means you are guilty. I see that there is a ghost attached to you, and it was you who put it there."

"You... you are talking nonsense. These beads were given to me by the previous abbot. They are made of agarwood and are very valuable. How could they be possessed by a ghost? Don't make up stories like that."

"That's what you said. How can you prove it? Who knows if it's true or not? If you say it is true, then it is true."

The abbot was secretly pleased with himself, and felt happy watching the monk jumping up and down in anger. He remembered what Yan Ruyu had said to him - never prove yourself, otherwise you would never win an argument.

If you want to make the other party lose, you have to put forward an argument and let him refute and prove himself.

The monk was indeed fooled.

The abbot was calm and collected, but the monks blushed.

Seeing that he could no longer argue, the monk grabbed the abbot's sleeve and pulled him aside.

The abbot saw him acting suspiciously and became alert: "What are you doing? Stop pulling and tugging."

"Do you know who I am?" asked the monk.

The abbot wanted to say, "I don't care who you are," but after thinking for a moment, he pretended to be curious and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the abbot of Pu'an Temple outside the city. I heard that Governor Cao's grandson is celebrating his full moon today, so I came here specially. Think carefully, I am a local temple, a local monk, unlike you, an outsider. Are you sure you want to go against me?"

"How about this, I'll do as I say, the little girl is possessed by a ghost, and I'll perform a ritual and get the money, and I won't pursue you. Of course, you still have to give me your cassock."

The abbot thought there was something wrong with his ears, and pointed at the beads and said, "You don't want this? There are relics on it, which are more valuable than the robes."

The monk's eyes lit up: "Yes."

The abbot chuckled and said, "You came here on purpose. I was invited by the governor."

"Also, I remember a bird that was very smart and witty, unparalleled in the world, and smarter than many people, once said a famous saying."

"My upper lip touches the sky, my lower lip touches the earth. This is the only thing left between heaven and earth. I have no face!"

The monk was still wondering why there were so many suffixes at the beginning, but at the end it was about a bird. Are birds that smart? The key point is, can birds talk?

After listening again, he realized that the abbot was scolding him!

His face changed, and before he could open his mouth to refute, the abbot shouted angrily: "Xiao Lan, scold him!"

At that moment, the abbot saw a black shadow landing on a branch. It didn't leave nor come down, but just stood there watching the fun. It must be Xiaolan.

Sure enough, Xiaolan flew over with her wings flapping: "Oh my, the clever and resourceful bird, unparalleled in the world, smarter than many people, is about to start scolding!"

"What gods and ghosts? Deceitful mouths and greedy ghosts!"

"Oh my, you are possessed by a ghost who cheated the girl. You are a greedy ghost! You are asking for money, extorting money, the cassock and the relics belong to me! Your upper lip touches the sky, your lower lip touches the ground, you are so shameless!"

The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise. She was really surprised to see that the birds flying up and down could talk.

The monk was so angry that his face turned pale and his lips trembled: "You...you, good, a liar, a foul-mouthed bird, witchcraft, witchcraft! It's you, you are the evildoer, you want to use the banquet to harm everyone."

"I'm going to report to the governor that you want to harm him..."

Today is the Cao family's wedding banquet, the full moon wine for the child, and this person started talking like this, which is really annoying.

As the abbot was scolding, a cold voice said, "Try to say one more word!"

Before he could finish his words, a cold wind blew and passed by his bald head.

He felt a little cool and a little stinging, and then something flowed down from the top of his head.

When I touched it, it was blood!

Only then did I realize that my head was aching.

"Ah!" he screamed in fear.

A figure flashed by the Moon Gate, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked in.

Huo Changhe said: "Shut up!"

There was a cold light flashing at his fingertips, clearly a hidden weapon.

The monk immediately shut up.

Yan Ruyu walked up to the abbot and said politely, "Abbot, I'm sorry to frighten you."

The abbot straightened his back and clasped his hands together: "It's okay, the princess is here just in time."

Yan Ruyu looked at the monk and said, "Where are you from? You slander others and even curse them. Is that what a monk should do?"

The starling landed on her shoulder: "Greedy ghost! Greedy ghost!"

"Yes, he also wants my robes and Buddhist beads."

The monk cried out in his heart: "I..."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the water bottle in the abbot's hand and said, "I'm afraid you want this bottle too?"

The beverage bottle is not valuable, but in this era, it is transparent, has a unique shape, and has beautiful stickers, which is unprecedented.

The abbot then understood that the monk had been claiming that the water was poisonous and wanted to snatch the bottle because he had set his eyes on this bottle.

The monk's legs went limp and he almost knelt down. He said with a bitter face, "I was bewildered for a moment. Please..."

Yan Ruyu would not tolerate him. This kind of person has a special identity. If he commits fraud or bad things, he will be more powerful than ordinary people.

She tilted her head to look at Linlang behind her. Linlang was even more rude. She stepped forward, grabbed the monk by the collar, dragged him to the front and handed him over to the constable.

The farce was over. The woman had just met Yan Ruyu at Madam Cao's place. Although she was unable to speak to her, she had seen it clearly. Seeing that Yan Ruyu was respectful and polite to the abbot, she trusted him a little more.

"Meet the princess."

The little girl also blinked and said, "Princess, you are so beautiful."

Yan Ruyu chuckled and gave her a candy: "What a good child."

"Thank you, Princess."

The abbot cleared his throat and said, "My dear donor, one of the doctors I mentioned to you before is the princess."

The woman was surprised and a little bit unbelievable: "This...Princess? I don't deserve to be asked to treat my daughter."

"What's wrong? Is the little girl sick?" Yan Ruyu asked.
