Setting the Mountain Ablaze

Looking at the man, whose face bore a scar but was otherwise rather handsome, Lin Yun felt he recognized him.

The man seemed to be the abbot of a nearby temple. He liked taking in children, though not for any nefarious purpose.

He simply wanted to protect them. He was a fairly powerful psionicist, and in the original story, he thought he had subdued the substitute demon created from Naraku's heart. As it turned out, he had been controlled instead.
