Chapter 187 - Bizarre Mystery

Chapter 187 Bizarre MysteryHearing Zhang Yunyan’s explanation, the monk was a bit convinced. If the woman in front of him was the partner of the devils, she would not have ended up here. He sighed. It seemed that his fears were unnecessary and it was unlikely to happen.

Wiping her tears, Zhang Yunyan sighed, and she couldn’t help thinking of the terrible experience she had with the “immortal” last time.

She sighed and said, “I have been in the Devil’s Cave some time ago, and it was lucky for me to have escaped. Looking back, it’s quite frightening.”

The monk felt a little strange. Since she already knew how terrible the cave was, why did she enter it again?

Looking at Zhang Yunyan, he did not speak, and he was confused.

Yunyan sighed, “I will never forget the experience, and it’s also a lesson paid for in blood.”

She sighed again as she remembered Shikong, her benefactor, who was dead.

The monk snorted silently. Since she had learned the lesson paid for in blood, why did she come here again to court death? She was such a weirdo.

The monk did not understand. Who was this woman? Could she be an elf with such audacity?

He was a little worried again when he thought of elves. Because elves were wild and would insist to do what they wanted, even in danger.

He asked with some uneasiness, “Are you an elf?”

Yunyan was very surprised to hear that, and she smiled bitterly, saying, “No, I am just a woman. Oh, if I were an elf, I might have run away rather than end up being like this.”

The monk sighed, “It’s great that you are not an elf, and you would not do… Well, I’m in trouble too, and I was not only plotted against but also almost caught by the devils.”

Zhang Yunyan felt the same way. When she thought of those terrible experiences, she sighed secretly.

She did not expect that as a monk who had been off the secular affairs, he still had so many troubles and disasters. Where was the Pure Land of life?

Looking at the monk, though she could not see him clearly, Yunyan could not help thinking of her benefactor Shikong, and she felt sad again.

She sighed, “Last time, I happened to meet a monk like you. Unfortunately, he was killed by the devils. That monk was my benefactor, and if it were not for his rescue, I would have been killed by Misty Flower. Unfortunately, that night, he encountered Jiuyou Sage and was caught. He died miserably…”

The monk was surprised to hear that and he asked, “Who are you and when did you meet Misty Flower? How did you know that I was caught by Jiuyou Sage?”

Zhang Yunyan’s heart sank. Looking at the monk whose figure was unclear, she was more suspicious, “Are you the young monk? Are you…? Are you Shikong?”

The monk was surprised and more vigilant, “Well, how do you know my Dharma name? Who are you?”

“Oh, you are Shikong? It’s so great that you’re alive!”

Zhang Yunyan was very surprised. She was very happy because she never thought that her benefactor was alive and he would stand in front of her. She could not believe that after more than 20 days when Shikong was caught by Jiuyou Sage, he was still alive.

This was a miracle, which was unimaginable. Although it was because Jiuyou Sage and Four King Ghosts were out and had no time to kill people, which was still surprising.

Looking at Zhang Yunyan, Shikong was alert. He was waiting for the answer.

Zhang Yunyan said excitedly, “Shikong, do you remember that we two have met before? Not long ago, on the Qinglong Mountain, you met Misty Flower who forced you to… When I found out, I got into a fight with her. Thanks to you, I survived. Otherwise, I would have been seriously injured. Thank you.”

Shikong was still puzzled, and he looked at Yunyan, “I have just been caught by Jiuyou Sage tonight. How come this happened not long ago? Besides, it has never happened before.”

Zhang Yunyan smiled bitterly and explained, “Hey, you have been in a coma for more than 20 days, and woke up after entering this cave. Naturally, you don’t know what happened after that, and you don’t know that it has been so long.”

Then, she told the story in a simple way. She told Shikong that because Jiuyou Sage was out in a hurry, he did not get killed, otherwise he was already dead. Before Jiuyou Sage left, the old devil had bewitched him and he had been in a coma.

After hearing this, Shikong was shocked. He never expected that he had been in the Devil’s Cave for so long, and it was lucky for him to survive.

He understood what had happened and got very excited, “Ah, so you are Yun Feiyan! Please forgive me. I didn’t recognize you. Sorry.”

Saying these words, he folded his hands and bowed.

Zhang Yunyan was a little unprepared, and she folded her hands quickly to bow back.

Looking at Black Tiger who was dead, Shikong sighed, and folded his hands to pray for it silently.

The misunderstanding was addressed, and there was no tension or anger in the mysterious cave. Instead, it was full of excitement and joy. Two hearts of gratitude were communicating, integrating, and they were dependent on each other with comfort…

Zhang Yunyan thought her benefactor Shikong had been killed by Jiuyou Sage, so she did not expect him to be alive. When he suddenly appeared in front of her, she was deeply surprised and gratified.

Shikong was very excited to see his benefactor and companion, and his heart of grief and fear felt the warmth.

In the dark cave, they could not see each other clearly, but they felt the warmth.

Although the warmth was not infinite, in the “Hell” full of fierce devils and in the gloomy and horrible atmosphere, he and she needed the warmth so much to warm two fragile and cold hearts.

As a young girl, Zhang Yunyan found that it was inconvenient to face a young man who was a monk.

As a handsome man and a monk with powerful martial arts, Shikong felt a little worried when he was with a woman alone.

Men and women were different, so were monks and secular men. Although she and he knew they had done nothing wrong, they were still not close. They didn’t talk too much. They sat with their backs against the rock in silence, and sometimes talked to each other with a few words.

Even so, they were very satisfied. In the despair, they felt the warmth and care from each other, hoping that this good feeling could stay longer.

In the Devil’s Cave, their hearts were deeply hurt, and they had been tortured by the feelings of pain and despair. At this moment, their poor hearts were bleeding. They waited for the unknown atrocities and their inevitable deaths…

In the silence, Zhang Yunyan remembered that before she entered the sealed cave, there was a sudden red flash. When she came in, she found nothing with glow in the darkness.

Why was there a flash just now? What was it?

She was nervous and frightened at the thought, not knowing what the sudden red flash indicated or concealed.

Zhang Yunyan had a bad feeling that the momentary glow was not accidental, which confirmed that this cave was not ordinary, and there must be a secret hidden in it.

Yunyan could not solve the mystery in her heart, and she was also suspicious of what happened to Shikong. No matter how hard she thought, she could not find the answer.

There was no doubt that Shikong was still alive. But where was the secular young master? How to explain his appearance and disappearance?

Yunyan was puzzled, and she still remembered the words of Turtle Elf. The rich young master was the one who had got caught by Jiuyou Sage that night, and he was the only one.

Yunyan had seen the man who was caught with her own eyes. The man who was caught by the old devil was a monk, which was Shikong. According to Turtle Elf, since the rich young master was the only one who got caught, he must be Shikong.

However, these two people were totally different, as one was a monk, and the other was a rich young master. They were surly not the same person.

How to explain this strange thing?

It was so strange and unbelievable. But it was what it was, and she had to accept the fact, otherwise, it was impossible to explain these bizarre mysteries.

After the rich young master entered the sealed cave, he would not disappear without a trace. Instead, he must be Shikong who had woken up. That was the only thing that made sense.

As for why Shikong changed his Buddhism costume into secular clothes, and then changed back, it was an unsolved mystery.

It was mysterious, weird, and hard to guess.

In the dark mysterious cave, it was so quiet with warmth. The warmth was precious and hard to get.

In the desperate situation, in the “Hell” full of devils, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong enjoyed the precious warmth to soothe their bleeding hearts in silence…

In silence, Zhang Yunyan thought of something, and then got very puzzled. She could not help but look at the fuzzy figure.

She could not help asking, “Shikong, when Turtle Elf and I saw you, you were unconscious. We ran to this place all the way, and you were still not awake. Turtle Elf and I were worried that we had no ability to help you break the magic. However, what’s strange is that when you went into this cave, you woke up on your own. How did you break the magic? Why didn’t you break the magic that bounded you before?”

Looking at Yunyan, Shikong was puzzled, and he didn’t know how to answer.

He knew how he was caught by Jiuyou Sage, and knew that the devil wanted to take his vital essence and blood and was not going to take action at this moment. But except that, he knew nothing.

Shikong didn’t understand how he was treated by Jiuyou Sage, what happened later, why he was in this cave, and why he would meet Yun Feiyan and the stranger Turtle Elf… Knowing nothing, he was confused and couldn’t explain.

Zhang Yunyan told Shikong how she and Turtle Elf found him and how they escaped when the magic trap started to work. In order to escape the devils’ chase, they ran down here with Shikong and entered the mysterious cave.

Hearing this, Shikong was very surprised, and he was very grateful to Zhang Yunyan and Turtle Elf for saving him.

Yunyan was still confused in her heart, and she could not let go. Shikong was originally dressed as a secular man, but at this moment, he had become a Buddhist monk, which was too strange.

It was an amazing change and it was surprising. What happened?
