Chapter 100: True Face
"This monk is really in seclusion and practices. There is no such person in your temple. We have been walking around the temple for a long time before, and we have seen every place, but we have not seen the existence of this monk. Perhaps this monk is not a person in your temple at all, just passing by. If there is really such a master in the temple, why can't we recommend it for us? Even if there is no monk who can draw talismans, other monks are the same. As long as we can see special abilities, we believe that your abilities are not suitable for display. Isn't everyone's abilities suitable for display?" Chen Fang said.
"I can't help you if you don't believe me. After all, we have obtained these special abilities to help more people, not to attract attention. It's getting late at this time, so I won't leave you more. You can pick the fruits and leave on your own. As for how to deal with them later, it depends on you." The monk said.
Although this person really wants Chen Fang and the others to try the effect of this fruit, sometimes the more anxious you are, the easier it is to see the flaws. Therefore, it is better to be free and easy, and it will make people look up to you.
Sure enough, his indifferent look made Chen Fang's roommates more convinced of the function of this fruit. No matter what, he still had to get the fruit before talking about it. As for whether to eat it immediately, this is secondary.
Seeing a few people picking fruits, the monk walked away silently. Although they had already fed the tree today, they had never picked fruits before. Who knew if the tree would have any other actions when picking fruits? If they went to pick fruits and attacked the tree, wouldn't he be attacked if he stood close? Therefore, he had to stay away. If it weren't for winning the trust of several people and not letting the people see the problem, he really wanted to leave the yard and guard outside to avoid being affected. However, at this time he could only stay here with his teeth. However, he felt that there should be no problem. After all, there was a lot of flesh and blood today, and the tree should not move at will. Even if it was about to move, it did not pick the fruits, and the hatred value of the tree would not be on him.
"What is this person doing? He is so kind. If it were me, he would have forced them to eat the fruit. Now these people have not said whether they should eat the fruit immediately. Is he okay? If it doesn't work, I will change it." A monk sitting next to the surveillance monitor said.
"Why didn't you say you went just now? Now you have reached this point. If you go again, what would it look like? It would be better for our people to rush over and arrest them and force them to eat the fruit. Since he has sent him out, we must believe him. If it really doesn't work, we have a backup plan, what are you afraid of? If you don't even have this little patience, you can do anything big. As long as you determine the function of the fruit on this fruit tree, our temple can become a powerful force in the future and enter the competition for power." Another monk said.
"I think everyone should not think too beautifully. The effectiveness of these fruits is just our guess. We don't know what the fruit has. Moreover, this fruit is watered with flesh and blood. Even if it smells very comfortable, I always feel that there will definitely be some problems after eating this fruit." A monk next to him said.
"If you are afraid, you can stop eating then, and we won't force you to eat." said one of the monks.
"I just feel this way now. I don't know what it is. I still have to judge it based on the results of these people's attempts. If these people successfully awaken their special powers and have no side effects after trying, I will certainly want to eat them, but if there are strong side effects, or if this fruit is not something that awakens special powers at all, then of course I won't eat them." The monk said.
"They have picked the fruits. Anyway, if they want to leave the yard if they don't eat the fruit, we will take action and cannot let them leave the yard with the fruits. It depends on whether our people can convince these people and let them eat them immediately. Three of them have been very interested, but one person seems to be very sober. If all three people eat, only one person is missing to eat, we don't have to tear them apart. Three people will be enough to test it, and there is no need to make trouble." The monk said.
Chen Fang and several roommates picked a fruit. Chen Fang did not pick this fruit for eating, but for the purpose of sensing the fruit at close range.
Although she had never seen this kind of fruit, Chen Fang had already come into contact with a lot of medicinal materials, and she could roughly analyze the function of this fruit.
When approaching this fruit tree, Chen Fang felt like she was being targeted, but when she picked the fruit, she didn't feel anything abnormal. It seemed that she was thinking too much.
They picked a few ripe fruits and saw that several roommates wanted to eat the fruits directly, Chen Fang hurriedly stopped them.
"You don't really want to eat it now. We don't know what the use of this fruit is. How can we eat it casually? What if the stomach is damaged? And no one has eaten this fruit before, what if it is poisonous?" Chen Fang said.
"How could it be poisonous? Didn't this master just say that many people in their temples eat this fruit and awaken their special abilities, which means that this fruit is not only not poisonous, but also provides us with special power." Zheng Yue said.
"You are too naive, why do you believe whatever he says? What if the other party tells a lie, you have never thought about what the consequences will be if the fruit is poisonous?" Chen Fang said.
"What's the point of lying to that master? If we are poisoned to death, what's the benefit to this master? We came to this temple to play. If something unexpected happens, the temple will not be able to get rid of it. How could the other party do such a thankless thing? You are thinking too much. Although there are many bad people now, there are still good people. Isn't the monk you met before a good person? Otherwise, how could you give you so many high-quality amulets for free?" Zheng Yue said.
"How can this be the same? The monk I met was a real master of enlightenment. What these monks usually value most is the indulgence and oil money in the temple." Chen Fang said.
"You said this master would deceive us, so what is the benefit of the other party deceiving us? What are we worth deceiving? We have nothing to do, so there is no need for the other party to deceive us." Wang Xia said.
"Who said there is no need to deceive us? Are we not ready-made guinea pigs? There is no problem after we eat the fruit, so they are delicious." Chen Fang said.
"What you mean is that the efficacy of these fruits has not been proven at all. They want to use us to try the effects of these fruits, so they are so generous to let us pick them?" Xu Ting said.
"Yes, no one knows what the effect of these fruits are. They dare not eat them, so they naturally have to find someone else to try them. But they dare not catch them and try them. Isn't it a very good choice for us to sneak into the yard? The other party gave us a few fruits that they don't know about their efficacy, which can both seal and make us become guinea pigs. This is definitely a very cost-effective deal." Chen Fang said.
"If the other party wants to test, you can go find some small animals to test. There is no need to use people. Just find a small animal to try it out if it is toxic or not. Why take such a big risk and let us try it for them." Zheng Yue said.
"Little animals are different from humans. Who can do this and the effect is obvious after trying it? It is best not to eat this fruit. Even if you have to eat it, you have to verify the efficacy of the fruit before you can eat it." Chen Fang said.
"But won't this fruit attract those awakened animals? If we take this fruit and attract the awakened animals to attack us, what should we do? We are no match for the awakened animals. If we eat this fruit, it won't be so troublesome." Zheng Yue said.
"It's not that coincidental. We happened to meet awakened animals when we went out. Now the number of awakened animals is still very rare. If there were so many people who could meet them anyway, it would have been a mess. Even if someone above wanted to block the banned news, it would not be blocked." Chen Fang said.
"If you don't have to be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what if. If we encounter it, wouldn't that be a joke about your life? If you are really worried, let's eat it first and keep your fruit first. But even if you keep it, you have to find a box to seal it, so that the smell will float out and cause trouble." Xu Ting said.
Chen Fang also understood that several roommates wanted to get special power, but no matter how anxious they were, they could not eat casually. If something went wrong, it would be difficult to solve. Especially some toxins were blood-sealed. Although this fruit did not look like the kind of poison that was blood-sealed, you should not be careless.
Chen Fang spent a lot of talk there and finally convinced several roommates that it would not be too late to eat the fruit after returning.
Originally, those monks were not going to move thickly before. As long as Chen Fang and others ate the fruit honestly and let them see the effect, they were willing to give them some benefits. However, because of Chen Fang's persuasion, they did not eat the fruit alone and planned to take the fruit away, so they could no longer sit still.
The purpose of giving them fruits was to experiment, but now they don’t eat them in front of them, how can they know the effect? When Chen Fang and the others leave the temple, it is even more difficult to know the news about Chen Fang and the others, so it is best to let them eat the fruits in the temple so that they can observe the effect.
He said everything he should say and did everything he should do. Now it still didn't work. They were still going to take the fruit home. The monk was not going to say anything more. Originally, he was just here to try it, and it didn't matter if he didn't. Then let people outside come in and tie a few people to a stool. At that time, they could feed them whatever fruit they wanted, and in this way they could clearly see the changes in their bodies.
"It seems that the people we sent were failing. We saw that they were going to eat them, but we didn't expect that the other person was so persistent. Not only did he insist on not eating, but he also pulled others not to eat them. In the end, the four of them didn't eat the fruit. If they had known it would have taken so much effort, and wouldn't it be enough to just send people outside in and arrest them? Now that we have been in such a big circle, we have to arrest them in the end. After all, if we don't arrest them, we will not be able to stop them from leaving.
When opening a temple, there is no way to watch them eat fruits and verify the effect of the fruits, so we can only capture these people first. As for what the result will be after being arrested, it depends on whether these people are cooperating. If they cooperate, they can save their lives at that time. If they do not cooperate or even have a strong resistance, then we can only be very sorry. We can only eliminate the danger in the bud." One of the monks said.
"Master, thank you for the fruit you gave me. It's getting late today, so we left first. We discussed it and wait until we get back before eating the fruit. I believe our luck will not be so bad. We met awakened animals in just a few steps. After all, awakened animals are still very rare now, and we can't meet them just by wanting to meet them. After a few days, we will come to the temple to see the Taoist monk. I hope that the Taoist monk will have time to see us by then." Zheng Yue said.
They didn't eat the fruit and were still preparing to leave. The monk would definitely not let them leave.
"A few people come to the temple to have fun. We don't have good hospitality. Why not rest in the temple for a night? There are guest rooms in our temple." The monk said.
"No need, we have to go home." Chen Fang said.
The monk saw that the few people were about to leave, but he was not ready to continue pretending and revealed his true face.
"Since you are here, can you leave as long as you want? Isn't it good for you to eat this fruit honestly? You have to break up and force you to eat it." The monk said.
"You finally revealed your true face. I said you were ill-intentioned. I didn't expect that you were really ill-intentioned. There was no free lunch in the sky. I knew that if it was a good thing, it would definitely not be our turn." Chen Fang said.
Chen Fang felt a little happy when she saw the other party's fox tail exposed. In this case, several roommates would definitely believe her guess.
After several roommates knew the other party’s true face, they would no longer believe him and would not eat the fruit immediately.
