Chapter 378 Whoever gets involved will suffer

That woman from the Mo family is a poisonous snake. Anyone who gets involved with her will suffer a bad fate.

But, when it comes to matters of the heart, you have to rely on yourself.

Seeing the donor's sad face, the old monk suddenly thought of a place and said, "Donor, why don't you go to the temple at the foot of the mountain ahead and take a look?

That temple doesn't have such high requirements, maybe there's some information there?"

"Thank you, Master!" When Gu Xiaoxi heard the news, it seemed as if hope was burning in her heart again.

"Thank you, benefactor." The old monk bowed.

Ma Weiwei asked another monk to get paper and pen and asked the old monk to draw the route.

After getting the route map, they went down the mountain and drove the carriage to a temple not far away.

This temple is at the foot of the mountain and is very small.

Although the temple is small, it is very popular.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Ma Weiwei in confusion. Ma Weiwei shook her head and, as a community leader, she randomly found a pilgrim to ask the reason.

You don’t know until you ask, and you’ll be shocked when you ask.

This temple is actually for praying for windfall, no wonder there are so many pilgrims who are willing to squeeze through the temple door to get in.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "There are so many people who like extra money. Besides, who wouldn't like it?"

"But, we can't get in like this!" Ying San was worried that there were too many people and it was difficult for them to squeeze in. How could they find anyone if they didn't go in?

Gu Xiaoxi looked around and found that there were many stalls. They simply walked over and sat down, ate a bowl of noodles, and waited there.

As the sun was about to set, the number of pilgrims in the temple gradually decreased, and the stall owner also wanted to pack up and go back. Gu Xiaoxi gave the owner a few dozen more coins and then got up and walked towards the temple gate.

There are fewer and fewer pilgrims, but the monks in the temple are still busy.

Seeing another pilgrim coming in, a monk stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, benefactor, would you like to stay overnight?"

Ma Weiwei opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the monk spoke again, "If you donors want to stay overnight, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Our temple is too small to provide a place to stay."

Ma Weiwei smacked her lips and said, "We're not looking for a place to stay. We want to ask you about someone."

"Ask someone?" The monk was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Without waiting for them to continue, he continued, "Our abbot's fortune-telling fee is eighty-eight taels, and it can only be done in the morning."

Fortune telling?

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, she remembered her talisman for finding people. In fact, there was no need to ask, she could just use the talisman to find them.

Ma Weiwei shook her head and said, "Master, we're not telling fortunes. We just want to know if you've seen this person before."

"I've never seen it!" The monk's face darkened before he even saw the portrait. He didn't want to waste time.

There are a lot of people asking questions in this temple all day long, but he is too lazy to pay attention to them.

"You! Call your host!" Ma Weiwei roared angrily.

The monks inside heard that someone was causing trouble and hurried in to ask the abbot.

The abbot, Daifu Bianbian, came out of the side room with a big belly. He was wearing a cassock made of the most expensive silk. With his fat head and big ears, it was obvious that he was very rich.

"Who dares to cause trouble in our Temple of the God of Wealth?" The arrogant voice rang out before the other person arrived.

Gu Xiaoxi and the others took a look at the abbot and thought to themselves that he was just a guy who was trying to make money, not a real monk.

Maybe he is involved in eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and everything else, being a monk during the day and having women everywhere at night.

"Monks are compassionate. If the situation wasn't special, we wouldn't have waited until now to come in and ask questions." Gu Xiaoxi said politely.

When the abbot saw Gu Xiaoxi's face, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Just now I was thinking that these people were here to cause trouble and wanted to give them a good beating, but I didn't expect a beauty to come.

No!

They are two beauties!

Ma Weiwei became furious when she was looked at in this way. She thought that if someone could become a nun in such a hellish place, she would write her name backwards.

Gu Xiaoxi put the overall situation first and did not get angry on the spot. Instead, she took out the portrait and showed it to the host.

The portrait was unfolded, and before the abbot could say anything, the monk they had met earlier blurted out, "Isn't this the poor fellow who wanted to hang out here a few days ago?"

"Then where is he?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"How would I know? He's dressed in rags, maybe he's been taken in by human traffickers." The monk said with disgust.

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. It would be troublesome if her second brother, a pure and innocent scholar, was really taken away by human traffickers.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you stay here first while I ask someone to find it." The abbot looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a smile.

Gu Xiaoxi really wanted to dig out the eyes of this disgusting thing.

However, considering that this place is too close to the imperial capital, it would be inappropriate to cause trouble openly.

"No thanks, thank you, Abbot." After thanking him, she turned around and left with her people.

The abbot half-closed his eyes and watched the three people leaving, then winked at the monk next to him.

The monk understood and followed him out the door, then followed Gu Xiaoxi and the others forward.

"Girl, the monk is following us." Ying San said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it, let's go back to the inn first." Gu Xiaoxi still ignored them.

The three of them got on the carriage and rushed all the way to the inn in the town.

Unexpectedly, the monk actually followed them. When he saw the three of them enter a big inn, he became a little worried.

After they returned to the inn, Ying San saw the monk through the window after entering the room. He said angrily, "This monk really doesn't know how to live or die!"

"I don't want to cause trouble. If he wants to provoke me, don't blame me for being rude." Gu Xiaoxi was not in the mood to care about this matter now. She asked them to go back to their rooms. She took out her second brother's things and drew a talisman in the air.

The direction shown by the talisman is exactly the direction of the temple, so it is possible that the person is really there.

Boom boom boom!

The talisman had just been put away when there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw Chen Qinian standing at the door. "Sister Yue, are you looking for someone?" Chen Qinian asked.

Before, they went up the mountain to the temple, and he thought Sister Xiaoxi went there to pray for a child. Just now, when he heard Brother San say that they also went to another temple, he realized that Sister Xiaoxi was not praying for a child, but going to find someone.

This also reminded him of Gu Ximing, the second brother of the Gu family, so he hurried over to ask.

"Before I left, my mother told me to try my best to find my second brother.

I just found the whereabouts of my second brother in the small temple in front. Unfortunately, he passed away a few days ago.

I'm going to stay here for a few days, you just follow Ying San." Gu Xiaoxi told Chen Qinian the situation. Anyway, if she didn't tell him now, she would have to tell him later. She couldn't just let them wait here foolishly.

"Then I'll go with you to find it." Chen Qinian looked sincere.

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head: "No need, more people may not necessarily make things easier."

Chen Qinian was a little disappointed and said gloomily, "Master is biased. He lets Weiwei go but not me!"
