Walnut's eyes were not focused on the people in the hall, but on the headless Buddha.

There was a sense of inquiry in her plum blossom eyes, as if she wanted to find some secret. Someone noticed her strangeness, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

……

"There are incense, candles and fruit offerings. Are you going to go up the mountain to worship Buddha?"

In the town at the foot of the mountain, the wealthy man who had sent people to capture the old beggar couldn't help but frown when he saw the servants busy preparing these things.

"Ah."

The person he was talking to was a woman, also dressed elegantly. Although she was old, it was obvious that she had been pretty when she was young.

Seeing his wife nod, Zhong Fa glared at him, then said with an unhappy look: "Nonsense, why are you joining in the fun? And your brother, didn't I ask you to keep an eye on him? He almost got into big trouble today."

"Get into big trouble?"

The woman's tone suddenly became sinister: "My brother is like this because of you. You lock him up for three days and only give him one or two meals. Do you want him to starve to death?"

To be honest, Zhong Fa did think so, but he would never admit it.

"Nonsense! This is called starvation therapy. Xumi was given it to me by a doctor. You know nothing about it."

But his words did not calm the other party down, instead they made him even angrier.

"Nonsense, there is no such treatment. Besides, my brother is not sick, he was... umm."

Zhong Fa's face was filled with fear. He covered his wife's mouth with his right hand and scolded her, "Shut up! If you want to die, don't drag me with you!"

……

In the dark corner of the temple, another cold corpse was added to the cold floor.

Coincidentally, there was some wood used for making coffins in the temple. It was prepared by an old monk in the past, but he disappeared later, so the wood was left idle in the wood house. If Hu Tao hadn't said that they could make another one, I'm afraid these monks would not have thought of it.

Kurumi put down the bag he had been holding and took out the tools from it.

This made Jiang Yu more and more convinced that Hu Tao had already anticipated this moment and was well prepared for it.

There were a few people standing in the hall, and from the introduction they were said to be wealthy families from the town at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Yu walked to the front and looked up at the headless Buddha. Although it was called a headless Buddha, the plaque next to it read "Emperor Rock King".

Zhongli is truly loved in Liyue.

In other words, the gods of each country are deeply loved by their own people. However, this is not surprising. The gods in the original world are not like the gods in other worlds. The gods in this world truly love the world and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

"This stone statue was dug from this mountain, right?"

Dingfeng was sitting on the ground keeping vigil. He looked up when he heard these words. Seeing that it was the servant of Hall Master Hu who asked him, he nodded.

"I heard from the master that this stone statue was indeed dug out from the mountain. It is said that it caused quite a stir at the time."

"Oh." Jiang Yu looked at him and suddenly said, "You seem to have no respect for this Buddha statue."

I thought the other party would make excuses, but Ding Feng nodded directly, with an embarrassed look on his pretty face, "I didn't expect it to be so obvious. Even you, the donor, noticed it. It seems that my skills are not good enough yet."

His expression was filled with reminiscence. "Actually, I believed it at first, but then something happened. I won't tell you what it was. Also, because of one other thing, I'm going to leave the secular world and come down the mountain."

Dingfeng's eyes were filled with light. Jiang Yu had seen this kind of light many times, um... on Xiaogong and the others.

Everyone looked at him with that kind of eyes when they were with him, and of course, appetite was occasionally mixed in.

Observing this monk, he is quite young, probably in his twenties. He is the youngest among the five monks in this temple.

"In love."

Ding Feng was a little surprised when he heard this, "Donor, you can see that too!"

He didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through one after another.

Jiang Yu felt speechless when he encountered such a gaze. Apart from the issue of the Buddha statue, anyone with a discerning eye could see that you were in love. However, the other party's next words made him wonder if he was too sensitive.

Zhi Dingfeng scratched his bald head and said, "Don't tell my brothers, they don't know."

"Haha, benefactor, I will tell you about one person. The girl I like is called Xiaohua. She is very gentle. We met in Liyue City."

The young monk had a shy and yearning look on his face, and he said softly, "After I bury my junior and senior brothers, I will return to secular life and go down the mountain to Liyue with Xiaohua."

Jiang Yu smelled the scent of Li Qiyan. Generally speaking, in such strange and terrifying incidents, people who said such words would not end up well.

He found this monk quite pleasing to the eye, unlike Ding'an, who seemed to be hiding something.

If there is danger and there is enough energy, we can rescue them.

Jiang Yu thought to himself, then stood up and left.

When Dingfeng was the only one left at the scene, he took out a piece of jade from his arms, with a happy smile on his face.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a faint sound came into my ears through the air: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng..."

"It's Xiaohua!" Dingfeng raised his head in surprise and looked outside. He stood up and took a few steps when he suddenly thought of something and looked at the two bodies on the ground with hesitation.

"My junior brother and senior brother are still here. I have to stay here. Um...then go out and talk to Xiaohua and ask her to wait for me in the town at the foot of the mountain."

Having made up his mind, he left quickly, ready to let his sweetheart go down first to avoid having their relationship discovered.

The temple gate was slowly pushed open and Dingfeng walked out. Looking at the thick white fog, he called Xiaohua's name in a low voice with some concern. After getting a reply, he walked in that direction.

Without anyone holding it open, the door slowly closed, but at the last moment, a dark shadow slipped in.

It shuttled through the temple courtyard and came to the Buddhist hall. It licked its front paws and stared at the two people on the ground with its vertical pupils.

"Meow~"

The cat's cry echoed here, the black cat landed on Dingxin, and then jumped onto Dingzai's face.

The white fog outside the temple was getting thicker and thicker. The black cat's fur stood on end. It quickly climbed up the wall with a few jumps. Its dark eyes stared at the two corpses on the ground. It called out twice and then left.

……

Night has fallen.

Jiang Yu found Hu Tao, who was carefully making a coffin with tools. She looked very normal at this moment.

Hearing the noise, the girl who was working hard raised her head, her plum blossom eyes showing a bit of joy, "If Jiang Yu is not busy, come and help me."

"Hehe, bring that piece of wood over here. By the way, do you remember when we first met, I was the one who suddenly sat up from the coffin and scared you?"

……

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance! Happiness and perfection! Successful studies! Successful work! Successful family!
