Chapter 518

Ye Xiaotian was shocked, "You … You know the Mind Reading Ability?" If you were in front of a person and he could immediately know what you were thinking, how scary would that be?

Venerable was startled and said, "He knows the Mind Reading Ability?"

Venerable immediately came to a realization and smiled, "Ah! The Six Links of Buddhism? "

Venerable had traveled all over the world in the past and had an understanding of the three religions and nine schools of thought. He was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Yes, he knows the Mind Reading Ability. Tathagata knows the thoughts of all living beings. Knowing it as it is. Knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is. Knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is. Knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is. Knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is, knowing it as it is. "

After reciting the Buddhist scripture, the Venerable One chuckled and shook his head. "I don't have the ability to read minds, but I have the Voodoo."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Voodoo? Venerable said, "Humans are sometimes limited. Because of their various flaws and inadequacies, humans invented all kinds of tools to assist them and thus achieved things that they didn't even dare to dream of.

The Venerable One said, "Humans are sometimes limited. Due to their own flaws and inadequacies, humans invented all kinds of tools to assist them, and thus achieved things that they did not even dare to dream of. Ye Xiaotian was surprised, "There is such a tool in the world?"

Venerable smiled and said, "Everything in the world has its own wonders. There are some things that we humans can't do but other creatures can.

We can't fly in the sky but birds can; we can't breathe in the water but fish can; we can't smell but hunting dogs can; we can't hear but bats can. Some strange insects can sense your thoughts but as a different species, they can't understand even if they sense it. However, if we can borrow this ability, we can naturally understand what our own kind is thinking. Do you understand what I'm saying? "

Venerable had already explained it very clearly. Of course, Ye Xiaotian could understand it. Ye Xiaotian said enviously, "Then … doesn't that mean that no matter what people in the world are thinking, they can't hide it from you?"

Venerable had already explained it very clearly. Of course, Ye Xiaotian could understand it. Ye Xiaotian said enviously, "Then … doesn't that mean that no matter what people in the world are thinking, they can't hide it from you?"

Venerable shook his head and said bitterly, "When I first learned the Heart Reading Ability, I thought I could see through everything and from then on, I could roam the world unhindered. But when I really learned it, I realized it was the source of disaster and pain. It was better if I didn't learn it at all. "

Ye Xiaotian asked in surprise, "How could this be?"

The Venerable One said, "There's no such thing as an omnipotent ability in this world, the same goes for mind-reading. I have mastered the Mind Reading Technique. Only when someone is standing in front of me, when he is thinking about something, can I know what he is thinking at this moment. The human heart was the hardest to fathom. One moment, one thought, and the next moment, another thought. Who could accurately grasp that?

Once you think he wants to do that and try your best to deal with his thoughts, he might change his mind the next moment. At that time, you will make the mistake of first impressions. What's even sadder is that the people you can see often are always the people around you, your family, friends, subordinates who follow you for life …

Everyone has selfish thoughts, but they will use reason, emotions, and loyalty to you to suppress these selfish desires. They might have a thought in their heart, but they will never act on it. You can only know what he is thinking, but you won't know if he will do it. Even if you know he won't do it, you will still be unhappy.

You don't know it was good at first, but you know it when he has a thought in his heart. Can you still be as good to him as before? Your attitude towards him has changed. Can he still be as good to you as before? Some misfortunes that could have been avoided have become true because of this. "

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and couldn't help but be shocked. He understood that mastering this ability was indeed not a blessing, but a nightmare. If he had this ability, would he still be so loving with his parents and brothers? If he had this ability, would he still be able to make any friends?

No wonder Yang Yinglong said that Venerable rarely smiled for decades and never had any friends. He was an extremely lonely old man. Perhaps every generation of people who practiced this voodoo would eventually end up like this. It was indeed a pain that they couldn't get rid of even if they struggled for a lifetime.

Venerable smiled and looked at Ye Xiaotian. His round, apple-like face that seemed to be full of wrinkles due to evaporation had a serene and gratified expression. "You are a smart child. Do you understand what I mean? You know what others are thinking. Is it interesting? No! It's extremely boring. Believe me, that is by no means an enviable ability. Your life will become boring because of it.

People often say that Buddha can see through people's hearts. If this is true, then Buddha must not be happy. If God has this ability, God will not be happy. Therefore, I have been training in seclusion since 30 years ago. Others think that I am studying voodoo. It is indeed true. I am studying voodoo, but I am studying how to seal this ability of mine. Otherwise, every day I live will be a day of pain. "

Ye Xiaotian, "…"

Venerable sighed and said, "Six years ago, I finally succeeded. I sealed my mind-reading ability. From then on, I felt that I was living like a human."

Ye Xiaotian said, "But … Venerable just …"

Venerable smiled and said, "Your thoughts are written all over your face. Do you think I can't understand?"

At this time, the gardener had already washed the fruit and placed it in front of them on a silver plate. Venerable smiled and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Come, have a taste. This is the fruit that you said is unique to the western country."

The red fruit was placed on the silver plate. It had just been washed with spring water. It was fresh and juicy. It was heart-shaped and the size of a thumb. There were tiny golden granules on it. Ye Xiaotian picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth. It was juicy and sweet. Moreover, there was no pit. It was indeed very delicious.

The gardener placed the plate on a small table between the two of them. Venerable also picked one up and chewed on the sweet and juicy fruit. He smiled and looked into the distance. There was an earthy red mountain with sparse vegetation. Venerable saw that Ye Xiaotian was also looking in that direction. He revealed a curious expression and said, "That is one of our forbidden areas. It is called the 'Thunder God Forbidden Area'. Because that mountain area often thunders. I don't know if you have heard before but there is an old saying, 'the Han fear the officials, the Miao fear the thunder'.

You Han people are most afraid of meeting the officials. 'Starve to death and don't go out, wronged to death and don't complain'. But us Miao people are most revered by the Thunder God. That place often thunders. Even when it is not raining, there will be droughts and heavenly thunder. That is why the surrounding tribes have classified that place as a forbidden area.

In the past, there were some bold people who tried to barge in. But the terrain inside is very complicated. It is difficult to determine the direction. Even the most experienced hunter would find it difficult to get out once he barged in. Ever since then, no one dared to go to that place. "

At this point, Venerable abruptly asked, "What do you think of Dewa?"

Ye Xiaotian was stunned. "Dewa?"

Venerable said, "Yes! Oh, you should call him Gedwa. He is one of the eight great elders of the Deity Templar. "

Ye Xiaotian suddenly recalled that when Mao Wenzhi was poisoned by a poisonous insect, the chief Gedore rushed over after hearing the news. He said that he wanted to find Elder Gedwa to treat him. Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I have never seen this elder before. I have only heard about him from Gedore."

Venerable smiled and said, "Yes! He has always played his part and does not move around much. Naturally, he is not as ostentatious as Gögwo. Hehe, this is his strength, but also his weakness. "

While Ye Xiaotian was puzzled, Venerable suddenly changed the topic. He smiled and asked, "This old man has never seen the Westerners you mentioned. However, I believe that this is the first time you have tasted this kind of fruit from the West. How does it taste?"

Sometimes, Venerable gave people a very wise and astute feeling. Sometimes, he was like a common old man. His thinking was very fast. He would suddenly think of a topic and talk to you. When your attention was focused on this topic, he would inexplicably bring up another topic.

Ye Xiaotian could only go along with this old man's wishes and chat with him. It was only when the sun had set and the sky was filled with rosy clouds that Venerable stood up, unsatisfied. He said, "Others are always trembling in front of me. Only you are different. This old man is really happy to chat with you. I hope you can often come and accompany this lonely old man. "

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly got up and said, "Yes! Then, this junior will take his leave. "

Venerable nodded and said to the gardener who had been standing at the side, "Ah Bao, send the guest off for me."

The names of the Miao people, no matter male or female, were all single-syllable names. When the elders addressed the juniors, they only needed to call them by their single-syllable names. For example, "Bao", "Weng", "Li". Only among the same generation, they needed to add the honorific "Bu". This gardener's name seemed to be Bao. When Venerable was young, he had traveled around the world and was probably not used to single-syllable names.

Po nodded, made a 'please' gesture to Ye Xiaotian, then led him out. Po didn't seem to like talking much, so Ye Xiaotian silently followed behind him without saying a word. Po walked him to the end of the long corridor, where that beautiful and enchanting Divine Concubine was still standing there, waiting for him.

Ah Bao expressionlessly nodded to the concubine and turned back. That concubine smiled sweetly at Ye Xiaotian and made another hand gesture.

Perhaps in this Divine Temple, only Venerable could speak Chinese, so the others could only use their body language to communicate with Ye Xiaotian. As a result, Ye Xiaotian felt like he had entered a deaf and mute hospital, he could not find anyone to talk to. He could only silently follow behind that beautiful woman and walk out of the Divine Temple.

Walking behind the enchanting beauty, peeping at her snow-white body, smelling her faint fragrance, Ye Xiaotian's nervousness, as if he was walking on thin ice in front of the Divine Servant Venerable, who could see through everything, gradually relaxed.

That concubine sent him to the lakeside, but did not send him across the lake. She only said a few words to the rower in Miao language, then smilingly invited Ye Xiaotian to board the boat.

On the tall Divine Temple, there were countless arched windows, decorated with stone sculptures of fierce beasts. The stone beasts were crouching on the windows with their wings folded, their sharp claws tightly grasping the upper edge of the window, as if they were ready to attack. In one of the windows, Elder Gögwo, who was wearing a black robe, looked at Ye Xiaotian who was leaving on the boat. His face was gloomy, his eyes were like the stone beasts crouching on the window.

After Ye Xiaotian left the shrine, his nerves immediately relaxed. However, his good mood only lasted until he reached the shore. Not long after he reached the shore of the lake and walked into the village, he saw a silhouette flash out from behind the bushes as soon as he reached the small bridge.

Ye Xiaotian was shocked, "Don't tell me someone is here to recognize me as a godfather again?"

When he saw the person clearly, his relaxed mind immediately tensed up again. It was an extremely beautiful young lady, glistening and bright, her eyebrows full of smoke. Ye Xiaotian did not know her name but he knew that she was Yang Yinglong's woman. This young lady was one of the two young ladies who danced together at Yang Yinglong's banquet.

This young lady, like the concubine, made a charming inviting gesture towards him. But she could speak Chinese, her mouth opened slightly and said in a sweet voice, "Bai Xiaoxiao greets Brother Ye, my master invites you!"
