"arrive?"

I looked in the direction Yiyi was looking, and I was dumbfounded. This wasn't a temple at all; it was the courtyard where I grew up!

Damn it!

I couldn't help but curse. I remember that I lived in the village for a period of time when I was little, probably before I was five years old.

This is just a small, run-down courtyard, and the family doesn't even keep that many dogs.

I looked ahead and saw the familiar fence, the familiar gate, the familiar decorations, and the familiar apricot tree in the yard.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

All of this may be unfamiliar to others, but it is all too familiar to me.

"Alright, brother, stop dwelling on the past. This is the Temple of the Beast God!"

Yiyi first took a sip of water, then took my hand and walked into the yard.

My gaze kept sweeping around the yard.

I'm now certain that this is the house I lived in when I was a child.

There are three rooms in total. I live in one room, my grandfather lives in another room, and the third room is empty, but it contains a Buddha statue.

Just as we went inside, I suddenly noticed that there was an elderly woman inside. She looked to be over seventy years old, which was about the same age as my grandfather.

I looked at the old lady and, for some reason, felt a strong sense of familiarity with her.

I still remember that I didn't have a grandmother. From the time I can remember, I lived with my grandfather. This old lady looked really kind and also quite familiar.

"It's Xiaoyan! Why are you back!"

The old woman spoke in a trembling voice, as if she were about to die at any moment.

However, after hearing these words, I felt a deep sense of warmth and familiarity.

The old lady completely ignored Yiyi and walked beside me, holding my hand.

When I turned around, I was surprised to find that Yiyi was gone, replaced by a black cat.

It's the one I saw when I was a child.

I'm increasingly confused. Yiyi just told me explicitly that this is the Temple of the Beast God, but from any perspective, this place doesn't seem to have any connection to a temple.

It's just like the home I remember. The only connection it has to a temple is that there's an empty room in the house with a Buddha statue inside.

"Xiaoyan, come here, come to Grandma!"

The old lady first sat up from the stone in the yard, then limped over to my side and took my hand tightly.

As I felt the warmth of the old lady's hand, I didn't know why, but a sense of warmth welled up in my heart—the taste of family affection.

Suddenly, I felt a strange memory flooding into my mind, and my head instantly started throbbing.

But at this crucial moment, my eyeballs twitched. It was the eyeball that had been ruptured before. I felt a special coolness emanating from my eyeballs, protecting my brain. The special memory didn't come in directly.

Instead, after being digested, it slowly seeped into my mind, and I can now clearly tell that what I just saw was altering my memories.

However, it was intercepted by the power left behind by Yiyi and by my black arm.

I tried to process the memory I had just received, and sure enough, the content of this memory was very simple: I had a grandfather and a grandmother when I was a child, and both my grandfather and grandmother were feng shui masters, especially my grandmother, whose skills were even more extraordinary.

As for the rest, it was just as I remembered. Seeing this, I couldn't help but marvel at the brilliance of this method.

The most ingenious deception is actually a mix of truth and falsehood. If it weren't for the protective energy that Yiyi gave me, I probably would have already believed that what I saw was real.

This is truly terrifying.

"Okay, Grandma, I missed you!"

I took the old lady's hand and helped her onto the rock, where we sat down together.

Next, the old lady led me to recall the events of the past. Each time, I could clearly sense that strange memories were constantly flooding into my mind. These memories were like a virus, constantly altering my data.

After I finished speaking, I secretly observed the old lady's expression. Sure enough, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. It seemed that she really liked me, her grandson. Yes, no one dislikes an extra grandson.

I originally wanted to communicate with Lei Jijian, but after hesitating for a moment, I gave up. After all, Yiyi could see through my telepathic communication method, so if this old lady could appear here, she could probably see through my telepathic communication method as well.

Most importantly, Lei Jijian has always been a chatterbox. Whenever he encounters something new, he just keeps talking nonstop.

But now, we haven't heard a single complaint from Lei Jijian. So there are only two possibilities: first, our connection has been severed; second, Lei Jijian has also discovered this.

After all, the Thunder Strike Sword's true form is an eagle owl, and its sensing ability is even stronger than mine.

As I was lost in thought, the cat suddenly jumped over and nestled into the old lady's arms.

The old lady's kindness was evident to the naked eye.

"Yes, Yiyi, my little Yan is really grateful for your care!"

The old lady let go of my hand, then hugged the kitten and petted it affectionately. When I saw this, my mouth twitched slightly.

I was taken care of by Yiyi? It's always been me taking care of her, right?

The kitten made a face at me, and I became even more certain that this kitten was Yiyi from before.

The so-called Beast God Temple should be this house. So, is the Beast God enshrined here the Buddha statue in our house?

I suddenly remembered that when I was very young, my grandfather worshipped a strange Buddha statue. The appearance of that Buddha statue was completely different from the Buddha statues I saw later.

It looked strangely shaped. I asked my grandfather why the Buddha statue in our house looked so fierce, when Buddha statues are supposed to be kind and benevolent.

My grandfather told me that Buddha has no form; only by showing a fierce and evil side can he suppress people and have enough deterrent power.

Once I understood this, everything became clear to me.

The one at home might have been a beast god from the very beginning.

No wonder my grandfather possessed such great power, and was a Taoist priest who also believed in Buddhism.

Now I understand, my grandfather didn't worship any Buddha, he worshipped a beast god!
