“Amitabha, Benefactor Ruan is indeed doing good deeds and accumulating merit,” Yuan Hui said, pressing his palms together.

Wu Nian hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "If we can persuade people to leave, that would be a good deed."

Although he was often invited to participate in Buddhist activities and preach everywhere, and was eloquent, he was no match for these elderly women and men.

We were just completely surrounded and attacked. The elderly folks were all incredibly fierce, and the more we argued, the more distorted their reasoning became. It was impossible to reason with them at all.

Extraordinary measures are necessary in extraordinary times, and they are a last resort.

As the sun rose higher and the heat became unbearable even in the mountains, Mingzhuo yawned. "Let's go find a place to take a nap."

Yuan Hui paused for a moment: "Shouldn't we go take a look at that well first?"

Mingzhuo: "I'm sleepy, I'll go to sleep first, we'll talk about it in the afternoon."

Wu Nian glanced at the sun. The blazing sun was baking the earth, and it was indeed the time when the yang energy was at its peak. When yang is at its peak, yin is at its weakest. He figured that the evil spirits wouldn't try to break the seal at this time.

"Then close the temple gates tightly, and those who were there to provide support last night should go and rest."

Pei Di woke up after sleeping for a while.

This was his first time traveling alone with Mingzhuo, and he felt a great sense of responsibility, so he didn't dare to sleep too soundly.

He walked out of the meditation room and found Gu Xu sitting by the window, looking at a report on a tablet.

"Mr. Gu, you're awake so early?" Pei Di scratched his head.

Gu Xu: "I've boiled some water to make tea, would you like some?"

The water was bottled water that he had the driver bring from the car. He not only brought tea leaves, but also a complete tea set.

After all, managing a large company requires him to keep his brain running at high speed during the day, so he can't do without coffee, tea, and the like.

Pei Di sat down and drank a cup of tea, thinking that the environment in the mountains was quite nice.

The trees are lush and green, and a gentle mountain breeze often brings a touch of coolness, which is especially comfortable.

He thought that Mr. Gu was a very particular and sophisticated person; he had managed to make this simple meditation room very elegant.

After finishing his cup of tea, Pei Di felt embarrassed to drink any more, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to take a walk around the temple."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky, making people's scalps feel hot.

Fortunately, a breeze blows, and you can always feel a cool breeze when you walk under the shade of the trees.

Pei Di walked around Lingquan Temple and noticed that a few monks were already getting up and moving around.

When he arrived at a courtyard, he noticed that the walls were relatively low. It was probably because the area was near the back of the mountain, where the terrain was undulating and the land was relatively high, so the walls were not very high.

The faint sounds of children's laughter and the thumping of a ball could be heard from just a wall away.

Pei Di, seeing nothing more to see, was about to leave when he suddenly heard a dull thud, like a ball falling into a deep place.

Then a child burst into tears, crying, "My ball!"

"Silly boy, go get it yourself." A series of chaotic footsteps sounded, and a group of children ran away laughing.

The child left behind cried bitterly, and Pei Di's fists hardened instantly.

These children were clearly bullying him. He thought of how he was always isolated and bullied when he was a child, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Little friend, don't cry, I'm coming to help you right away!" Pei Di shouted over the courtyard wall.

There was suddenly no sound from the other end. He wondered if the child had left.

He found a high spot, quickly climbed the wall, and the first thing he saw when he looked over the wall was a small figure falling into a cave.

Pei Di's heart tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly climbed over the wall and jumped down.

There is a pavilion here, and next to it is a dried-up stream.

The trees here are so dense that they block out the sun, making it feel like your vision suddenly darkens when you walk over from the sunlight.

The child fell into a sunken cave below the stream, and it's unknown what happened to him.

Pei Di stepped forward and heard the child crying again from the cave. He breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.

It was dark inside, and he could vaguely see a small figure sitting there holding a ball. It must have hurt its leg and was crying very sadly.

"Little friend, don't be afraid, I'll come and save you right away." Pei Di looked at the cave entrance, searching for a place to stand.

"Pei Di, what are you doing?" A clear, melodious voice rang out.

Pei Di looked up in surprise and saw Gu Xu climbing over the wall, frowning as he looked at him.

He answered instinctively, "A little boy fell down, I went to save him."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Xu's expression immediately turned stern. "Pei Di, come back right now!"

The child started crying loudly again, "Brother, it hurts so much, please save me!"

Pei Di's thoughts were interrupted by the crying. He looked down and said to the person inside, "Don't cry, your brother will be here soon."

Gu Xu immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw Pei Di's expression.

After Pei Di left, he also walked around and even went to look at the well that was guarded by several monks.

As I was about to turn back, I unexpectedly saw Pei Di walk into the courtyard and climb over the wall. I found it strange and came over to check.

Although Gu Xu doesn't know magic, he has read a lot of books on feng shui and metaphysics, so he can also understand some feng shui.

There are many trees here, especially locust trees, and the surrounding mountain terrain makes it a place where shade gathers.

He didn't hear any children crying, so what exactly was Pei Di seeing?

It was too late; Pei Di had already climbed halfway down the cave wall.

Gu Xu picked up the bronze mirror, bit his finger, dripped blood onto it, and suddenly shone it into Pei Di's face.

The sunlight reflected off the bronze mirror and shone on Pei Di's face, and Pei Di suddenly felt his five senses become clear!
