God's Gift

Lu Keming paused for a second, carried Yu Youyou back to the room, and after Yu Youyou fell asleep, he went out again.

The bright moonlight fell on the ground, the dead leaves rustled in the wind, and the thin shadows of the trees swayed on the ground. Lu Keming stepped on the dead branches and walked to the foot of the mountain.

On a huge rock not far away, Ah Chou sat on it, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky in a trance.

Lu Keming followed Achou's line of sight and glanced at the bright moon above. The moon was the same as usual, clear, cold and bright, without any difference.

He walked over, stopped behind Ah Chou, folded his hands casually, and said:

"The moon is beautiful. Everyone likes such a clear moon, right?"

When Achou heard Lu Keming's voice, he turned around to look at him, lowered his head, stood up and was about to leave.

"Do you also want to pick this moon?" Lu Keming did not move, but suddenly asked when Achou was about to leave.

Ah Chou paused, raised his head and looked at Lu Keming, and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"

"That has nothing to do with me." Lu Keming snorted disdainfully and stared at Ah Chou: "I remember that Lijia Village does not allow women to go up this mountain. Why are you able to come up?"

"The village doesn't allow outsiders to go up the mountain, but you came up anyway." Ah Chou was not afraid of Lu Keming's words, but instead fought back.

Lu Keming raised his hand and fiddled with the ring twice. The dark blue gem reflected the cool moonlight and fell right into his eyes.

"I came here for the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha."

"What?" Lu Keming raised his eyes, his delicate jaw exposed in the moonlight. He looked down at Ah Chou and continued to speak in an ambiguous tone:

"The same to you?"

When Ah Chou heard Lu Keming say that he came for the Ten-Faced Buddha, there was a brief surprise on his face. But when he heard him ask if he also came for the Ten-Faced Buddha, he sneered.

"Only people like you would be so drawn to it."

When she mentioned the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha, there was a hint of disgust on her face.

Achou's reaction was completely beyond Lu Keming's expectations. Lu Keming looked at the expression on Achou's face and frowned slightly.

He originally thought that Achou had made a deal with the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha and turned himself into a puppet like the patriarch, but now Achou's behavior really seemed to have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha.

"As a native of Lijia Village, you actually don't like the Buddha you worship." Lu Keming paused for two seconds, his voice became a little tentative, and he stared at Achou calmly.

Lu Keming said this so bluntly. Ah Chou's eyes quickly swept around and then looked at Lu Keming again.

"It's not my turn to worship it. It has nothing to do with me." Ah Chou answered casually.

Lu Keming rubbed his fingers at his side, looked at Ah Chou's genuine expression, raised his hand slightly, and used his mental power to control Ah Chou who was about to leave. He stared at Ah Chou motionlessly and asked directly:

"What is your relationship with the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha?"

Ah Chou, who was about to leave, stopped, turned around and looked at Lu Keming in a daze.

"I have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha." Achou's eyes became empty, and he answered word by word under Lu Keming's control.

After getting such an answer, Lu Keming frowned and looked into Ah Chou's eyes, confirming that she had been controlled by his mental power.

What Achou said is true.

Lu Keming looked at Ah Chou and continued to ask, "How did you see us when you went to Chen Qingqiu's house for class that day?"

Ah Chou slowly rolled his eyes, stared at Lu Keming for a while, and replied, "I haven't seen you at the teacher's house."

Lu Keming pursed his lips and withdrew his hand, knowing that there was no point in asking further.

Achou was in a daze for a second, then came to his senses, looked at Lu Keming's gloomy and unhappy expression in confusion, and turned around to leave.

Lu Keming looked at Ah Chou's back as he left. As if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised an arc, and he said maliciously: "Chen Qingqiu can't possibly like you."

Achou suddenly stopped and turned his back to Lu Keming without saying a word.

Lu Keming's inquiring gaze was fixed on Achou, and his words became increasingly cold.

"He is the one who lives in the sunshine, as clean and clear as the moon. Even if he is pulled down now, he will never be in the same world with you."

His voice pierced into his heart word by word, Ah Chou's shoulders gradually trembled, as if trying to suppress himself.

Lu Keming paid attention to Ah Chou's reaction, the curve of his mouth became deeper and deeper, and he continued:

"The moon hangs high in the sky and never belongs to anyone."

The cold wind blew through the woods, making a rustling sound. The clouds in the sky gradually covered the moon, and the night fell into darkness again.

"Ha..." Ah Chou clasped his hands tightly together, and his voice sounded particularly eerie in the darkness. He said, "The moon doesn't belong to anyone. Does that mean Yu Youyou is not the moon?"

"Do you know who Yu Youyou is?" When Lu Keming heard Ah Chou say Yu Youyou's name, his indigo eyes turned cold. He looked down at Ah Chou, sneered, and said:

"You can see my past, which means the regression is in your body."

Lu Keming stared at Ah Chou's back, without any fear in his eyes, and said calmly: "Since Huisu is here, it is not a simple puppet."

Ah Chou turned around, his eyes had turned bloodshot, staring at Lu Keming viciously.

Lu Keming stroked the dragon ring and stared at Ah Chou carefully. He thought of something and said with a smile, "Just now he was disgusted with the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha and knew nothing about him, but now he seems to have become a different person."

Lu Keming half-knelt down, looked at Ah Chou under the boulder, and continued: "I want to ask, are you still Ah Chou now?"

Ah Chou did not answer, but stared at Lu Keming without saying a word.

"Is it possessed?" Lu Keming looked at Ah Chou's expression and said firmly, "It was you who was watching us in front of Chen Qingqiu's house that day."

"So who are you?" Lu Keming asked, but he didn't need Ah Chou's answer, and analyzed:

"Being able to use the power of the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha means that you are part of the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha, but you are also related to Chen Qingqiu." Lu Keming looked at Ah Chou with a fake smile and concluded in a calm voice:

"So you are the female ghost who has been following Chen Qingqiu."

Ah Chou didn't seem surprised when he heard Lu Keming's words. He just laughed sinisterly, "As expected of Lu Keming."

Lu Keming stood up and straightened his clothes. He seemed not to want to waste time talking to her, so he asked directly, "How can you stop going back?"

"Impossible." Ah Chou's voice was decisive and left no room for doubt. "No one can leave here."

Lu Keming laughed out of anger, gnashing his teeth, "Are you so sure?"

Ah Chou glanced at Lu Keming, laughed darkly, and said confidently: "I have fire in me, your mental power has no effect on me."

Seeing her knowing everything, Lu Keming's expression gradually turned cold. "It seems that backtracking is really useful."
