1027 Winter Cicada Temple

An abject scholar was reading a strange mythical story to a group of kids in the City God Temple.

"The Jiuhua Emperor came from the sky and said that the monster was his mythical pet who snuck into the human world. He asked for forgiveness from the others and allowed him to bring it back to his residence to discipline it…" the scholar looked lifeless. He made a pretentious gesture and said, "We're done. Join the next session if you want to know the next plot."

All the kids were disappointed. Confused, one of them asked, "Sir, is the reason for the other monsters getting killed because of the Immortal Bodhisattva's monster as it ate humans and needed more training?" 

The scholar paused as he did not know how to answer. He had read the story for many years and this was the first time he thought from this angle. This seemed to be a perfect time to refine the story.
