Chapter 501 Reincarnated Spirit Child 7
"Out for a midnight snack?" Song Zilong looked at Ren Yinyin with suspicion, seemingly quite surprised that she was out looking for food at this hour.
Ren Yinyin, however, seemed quite natural. She smiled and nodded in response, "That's right. As you know, we cultivators often feel hungry after cultivating at night, so we come out to find something to eat!"
The moment Mao Xiaofang saw Ren Yinyin, he immediately understood.
He muttered to himself, "No wonder Yinyin went back to her room to rest so early; she was planning to sneak into the ancestral hall at night!"
Recalling Ah Xiu, whom he had found outside the ancestral hall, Mao Xiaofang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
These two little girls are really quite resourceful!
Nearby, several villagers were holding children, their faces filled with terror, clearly shaken by what had just happened.
When they learned that it was Ren Yinyin of Fuxi Hall who had saved their child, they were all moved to tears and gathered around to express their deepest gratitude to Ren Yinyin.
Some emotional parents even knelt down to express their gratitude on the spot.
Seeing this, Ren Yinyin quickly stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile, "No need, no need, this is what we cultivators should do, haha, please don't take it to heart."
However, just as everyone was moved to tears by Ren Yinyin's gratitude, Song Zilong's gaze fell on Black Rose, who had fainted on the ground.
He turned to look at Ren Yinyin, his question unmistakable: "Why is Black Rose here too? And why is she unconscious?"
Ren Yinyin shook her head, "I didn't know when she arrived!"
Atisha quickly walked up to Ren Yinyin, put his hands together, bowed deeply, and said gratefully, "Female benefactor, thank you for your righteous help! If you hadn't arrived in time, these children would probably have been killed."
Before Ren Yinyin could say anything, the middle-aged woman next to her, holding a child, scolded, "Oh dear, you lamas talk a lot, but what's the result? You're completely useless!"
Her words resonated with the surrounding villagers, who chimed in, "That's right! If it weren't for Miss Ren, my son would have been in real trouble!"
"If you ask me, it would be better to send the children to Fuxi Hall. With Master Mao and Miss Ren there, who could hurt them?"
"Yes, yes, Master Mao, what do you think?" The crowd chattered amongst themselves, turning their gazes toward Mao Xiaofang.
Looking at the villagers' expectant eyes and then at Atisha's pale face, Mao Xiaofang thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
After all, the safety of the children is the most important thing; everything else is just a minor matter.
"Thank you, Master Mao!" The villagers cheered upon seeing this.
Just then, a weak voice suddenly rang out: "Little shrimp!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Black Rose slowly waking up, looking around blankly.
Song Zilong hurriedly knelt down in front of Black Rose and asked with concern, "Miss Rose, have you seen Little Shrimp and Luo Sang?"
Black Rose cried out anxiously, "They've been captured by a lama! He even knocked me unconscious! You have to go save them!"
Song Zilong's heart sank. He knew that all the children in the ancestral hall, except for Xiaoxiaomi and Luosang, were safe and sound.
Atisha Lama said that Lobsang was a girl, so she stayed in a separate room. As for Xiaoxiami, he didn't know why he didn't sleep in a room.
Black Rose was furious after hearing Atisha's words.
"He must not be used to sleeping on a different pillow!" Black Rose stood up and pointed at Atisha, scolding, "It's all your fault! If I had given the pillow to Little Shrimp earlier, he wouldn't have run out in the middle of the night because he couldn't sleep!"
"Could it be that Xiaoxia went to find Luo Sang and was captured along with him?" Song Zilong pondered.
"By the way, the one who kidnapped Xiaoxiaomi and Luosang is the lama on the wanted poster!" Black Rose urged Song Zilong, "Hurry up and take some men to capture him!"
Song Zilong looked at Mao Xiaofang. Master Mao had fought the old lama before, and the two were evenly matched. However, if Miss Ren could help, they should be able to defeat the old lama!
Mao Xiaofang nodded, "Let's go find him!"
Back at Fuxi Hall, Mao Xiaofang used the "Golden Basin Illumination Technique" and saw Xiaoxiaomi and Luosang tied to a stone pillar with ropes, while the lama sat cross-legged on a stone platform.
"Thank goodness, the two children are safe!" Mao Xiaofang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he guessed that the old lama must have had ulterior motives for taking the children away, otherwise it would have been easy for him to kill them with one blow!
"Let's go up the mountain!" Mao Xiaofang strode out of Fuxi Hall.
Ren Yinyin and the others followed closely behind, with Song Zilong and Black Rose also joining them.
The group traveled quickly and soon arrived at the mountain.
A flapping sound came from the tree ahead, and everyone looked to see a white parrot landing on a large tree. It was the spirit bird.
"The spirit bird has the duty to protect the king, and Shrimp and Luosang are nearby!"
When the bird saw so many people, it flapped its wings, trying to drive them away.
Mao Xiaofang was prepared. He cast out a net, trapped the spirit bird, and then attached a talisman to it.
"We can only trap it for a quarter of an hour. Let's go find someone!" Mao Xiaofang didn't want to harm the spirit bird unless absolutely necessary.
They found a cave along the mountain path and went inside. The old lama had one hand on Losang's head.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Black Rose spoke first, about to rush forward to save the little shrimp.
Seeing that someone was disturbing him, the old lama sighed and withdrew his hand, "No!"
"What? How could Luo Sang not be a reincarnation?" Before Luo Sang could even feel sad, the little shrimp protested.
“Lobsang can save people and recite scriptures, how could he not be a reincarnation?”
The old lama looked at the young boy and asked, "Don't you want to be a lama?"
"No!" Little Shrimp shook his head.
"Amitabha Buddha!" The old lama clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist mantra, and said to the little shrimp, "Everyone has their own mission, and you cannot escape it!"
From the old lama's words, everyone understood that he did not intend to harm Xiaoxiami and Losang, but rather to give them an initiation, enabling them to comprehend the principles of life and death.
"Did you kill the children in town?" Song Zilong stepped forward and questioned.
He didn't care what those lamas were doing; he just wanted to find out the truth and find the real culprit!
"I didn't kill anyone!" the old lama said, looking at the crowd. "I only want to find the true identity of the Dalai Lama!"
“Every child whose head you touched has gotten into trouble. How do you explain that?” Song Zilong pressed.
"I'm just trying to help them understand birth, aging, sickness, and death, hoping they'll gain spiritual wisdom soon!" the old lama said calmly.
“Uncle-Master, the one who fought me in the ancestral hall wasn’t him!” Ren Yinyin said from the side.
“No matter what, you are the prime suspect, I’m going to arrest you!” Song Zilong said, pointing at the old lama.
"I am a high-ranking Living Buddha under the Dalai Lama, a Nyingma!" the old lama said proudly, his hands clasped together. "Without evidence, you have no right to arrest me!"
"Master Mao!" Upon seeing this, Song Zilong turned to Mao Xiaofang and whispered, "Thank you for your trouble!"
Mao Xiaofang nodded and stepped forward. “Great Living Buddha of the Nyingma school, Gantian Town is not the Potala Palace of your Tibet. If you did not do it, then there is nothing to worry about. Please!”
Ningma looked at the little shrimp being pulled along by Black Rose and said solemnly, "You must protect him!"
After saying that, he walked up to Song Zilong and said, "Life and death are unpredictable, and everything is predestined! I'll say it again, I didn't do it!"
