Chapter 354: Green Snake Extra 8

The old man's impatience became increasingly evident, and he spoke directly, "Monk, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm already over eighty years old, and I don't have much time left to live. My only wish in this life is to see my old friend again. I wonder if you can help a dying man like me fulfill this last wish?"

After hearing what the old man said, Fahai did not answer immediately. He just silently moved the Buddhist beads in his hand one by one, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, the old man continued, "Over the years, I have seen through everything. I donated all my wealth to Jinshan Temple. The Buddha statues in your temple were all gilded with my money!" As he spoke, the old man slowly stood up, walked to Fahai, and looked at him straight.

"Monk, do you think this is enough? Can you have mercy and fulfill my small wish?" There was a hint of pleading in the old man's tone.

At this moment, the fish in the golden bowl seemed to sense the movement outside. It wanted to stick its head out to see what was happening, but suddenly found that a layer of fine net had been added to the golden bowl, blocking its way.

"Monk, what are you doing?" Yu Yin hit the net with his head in disbelief.

However, Fahai seemed to be deaf to Yu Yin's shouting and continued to turn his Buddhist beads.

"Old man, I think the golden bowl in the master's hand is a bit strange!" Suddenly, a Taoist priest came out from behind the screen and said with a smile.

When the old man heard this, his brows twitched slightly, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the golden bowl in Fahai's hand.

The Taoist priest chuckled and said, "Old man, maybe the old friend you are looking for is hidden in this bowl."

"The monk is very selfish!" The old man said sarcastically with a frosty face.

Faced with the old man's questioning, Fahai just sighed softly. He slowly stretched out his right hand and lifted the restriction on the golden bowl.

As the restriction was lifted, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly rang out, like the sound of nature, echoing in the air.

"Monk, huh? Can I see?" The voice was full of surprise and curiosity. Then, a small fish head popped out from the golden bowl, and a pair of bright big eyes looked at the surrounding things curiously.

"This, this is..." As soon as the old man saw the little carp, his body trembled immediately. His face was full of excitement. He took a few quick steps and looked at the little carp carefully.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest standing behind the old man followed him, stroking his beard and observing the little carp carefully.

"Old man, this little demon has little magical power, but it has an aura of merit, which is really rare!" The Taoist priest exclaimed, his eyes scanning back and forth on the little carp, seeming to be very interested in it.

This bald donkey must have spent a lot of energy raising this little demon, the Taoist thought to himself.

"Grandpa, who are you?" Yu Yin blinked his big eyes, looked at the old man in front of him curiously, and asked politely.

"Grandpa?" When the old man heard Yu Yin's name, his body suddenly stiffened and a strange expression appeared on his face, as if he was neither crying nor laughing.

"Alas, I'm old!" he murmured to himself, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and emotion.

"Miss, do you still remember Sun Shaowen?" The old man asked cautiously, looking at Yu Yin without blinking, wanting to get his reaction immediately.

"Sun Shaowen?" Yu Yin frowned in thought, then remembered, "Sun Shaowen, I remember him, he was a big bad guy!"

The old man laughed when he heard this, and his laughter became louder and louder, until tears came out.

"Yes, he is a bastard!" The old man wiped away his tears with his sleeves and nodded heavily.

"Girl, do you want to meet him?"

"I guess we won't be able to see each other anymore, right?" Yu Yin said hesitantly. The life span of mortals is only a few decades. After so many years, he might be dead.

"Well, if you can still see him, would you like to meet him?"

Yu Yin shook his head. "There's nothing good to talk about with him. He bullies me and I don't like him!"

"Then, don't you want to scold him to his face?" The old man's tears came out again. Seeing Yu Yin looking at him in surprise, he turned his head away in shame and wiped away his tears.

People are getting old, people are getting old...

"You, you can't be Sun Shaowen?" Yu Yin suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widened, his fin pointed directly at the old man, and said in disbelief.

When the old man heard this, his body trembled violently, his eyes turned red instantly, and tears welled up in his eyes. He tremblingly stretched out his finger that was as dry as tree bark, wanting to touch Yu Yin, but he seemed a little scared. His finger paused in the air for a moment, and finally fell slowly.

"Yes, I am that bastard Sun Shaowen!"

"Wow, you're so old!" Yu Yin said, then blew out another bubble. "Never mind, since you're old, I'll forgive you!"

"Thank you, Yinyin!" Sun Shaowen carefully looked at Fahai, who was standing beside him with a calm expression, and asked Yu Yin, "Is the monk treating you well?"

"Oh no, he won't let me out!" Yu Yin glanced at Fahai secretly and said in a low voice.

Hearing her say this, Sun Shaowen felt a little happy, "Thank you for your hard work, Yinyin."

Yu Yin looked at Sun Shaowen's face with dissatisfaction, "You are so hypocritical. You are obviously happy, but you still pretend to comfort me."

Sun Shaowen laughed heartily. His voice was old and muddy, but it revealed a youthful spirit.

"You are still like this, very good, very good!"

What he didn’t get, Bald Donkey didn’t get either!

At this moment, Fahai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Donor Sun, your wish has been fulfilled. Now you can rest assured."

Sun Shaowen smiled and nodded, "It's time to be satisfied. I have no regrets in my life as long as I can see Yin Yin again."

He looked at Yu Yin, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, "Yin Yin, take good care of yourself in the future."

Yu Yin was somewhat moved, "You...you are fine too."

Sun Shaowen turned around and stumbled into the room. Not far away, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell.

The Taoist priest was quick to reach out and support him.

Fahai looked down at Yu Yin, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry, and said softly, "Let's go."

Yu Yin seemed to be awakened by Fahai's words. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Let's go. I feel uncomfortable staying here."

Fahai did not respond to Yu Yin's words, but turned and walked out of the pleasure boat.

On the West Lake, the boatman rowed his small boat closely following the pleasure boat.

Fahai noticed that the boatman was following him and waved to him.

After getting on the boat, Fahai and Yu Yin sat at the bow while the boatman rowed at the stern.

The boat slowly sailed away from the pleasure boat and went farther and farther away.

When the boat was far enough away from the pleasure boat, the boatman finally spoke up, "Master, are you and Old Master Sun old acquaintances?"

Before Fahai could answer, the boatman continued, "Speaking of which, Mr. Sun was truly an upright official throughout his life! He never married or had children, nor did he care for gold, silver, or treasures. He was only obsessed with seeking immortality and the Way..."

The boatman's words revealed his admiration for Old Master Sun, but at the end, he suddenly changed the subject and sighed, "It shows that even the smartest and most open-minded people have their own obsessions!"

"It is said that when Old Master Sun was young, he had a beloved, but she left him for some reason. Over the years, Old Master Sun has been seeking immortals and asking for the way to find his beloved..."

"I don't know, he's so sincere, can he get what he wants?"
