Chapter 167 Ghost Exploration Variety Show (5)
As soon as Nan Mingcheng finished speaking, a group of nuns came towards him.
"Godfather, are there new people here?" After the nuns saluted the godfather, they looked at Shen Yijin and the other six and asked.
The godfather smiled and nodded: "Yes, you can tell everyone the good news, and we will celebrate tonight."
The nuns were very happy: "Great, we will have delicious food tonight!"
The nun at the end of the team had a sad face and was out of place with the other nuns.
The godfather noticed her difference and asked softly, "Xiyue, are you worried? Why don't you look happy?"
Sister Xiyue said, "Godfather, we don't have enough food in stock. If you bring more people back, everyone will starve in less than half a month."
The godfather's expression froze: "Don't worry about these, I will solve the food problem. I have something else to do, Xiyue, take them to find a place to rest."
Seeing that the godfather was determined, Xiyue didn't say anything else.
She waved to Shen Yijin and the others, signaling them to follow her.
The guests followed immediately.
After walking a little further away, An Ningxuan quickly walked to Xiyue's side and tried to probe her with words, hoping to get some clues: "Sister Xiyue, do we have a lot of new people coming to our monastery every day?"
"Yes, when I was first picked up by the Godfather, there were only a few nuns in the monastery. Just over a month later, there were more than two hundred nuns in the monastery..." Xiyue was not on guard against An Ningxuan, and the expression on her face became more and more complicated when she talked about things related to the monastery.
Xiyue was picked up by the Godfather, who gave her a new life. Logically, she should be happy that there are other people as pitiful as her who were picked up by the Godfather.
However, Xiyue was responsible for cooking for everyone every day, and she knew very well how much food was stored in the monastery.
Seeing that the food supply was decreasing day by day while the number of people in the monastery was still increasing, Xiyue found it difficult to be happy.
An Ningxuan observed Xiyue's expression and then asked, "Why were all of you brought back by the Godfather?"
Xiyue pulled her thoughts back from her memories and looked at An Ningxuan strangely. "Of course it's the same as you guys! Why are you asking this? Are you one of them? The monastery doesn't get involved in disputes outside. If you come to the monastery to gather information for them, don't waste your energy. We have nothing here."
"We don't welcome you, please leave as soon as possible!" Xiyue said to An Ningxuan in a stern voice, her eyes fixed on An Ningxuan's face, and she almost wanted to chase her away.
An Ningxuan was shocked. She chose this question among several ones, which she thought was very safe, but it ended up touching Xiyue's forbidden zone.
She is now in a dilemma, but the problem is that she doesn't even know who the "they" Xiyue is talking about is, and she is only trying to find out the current situation by gathering information.
Seeing that Xiyue was about to treat everyone equally and kick all the guests out of the monastery, Shen Yijin quickly said: "You misunderstood Ningxuan. She wanted to understand everyone's experience before coming to the monastery, and she was afraid of accidentally touching on the sad story of a certain nun."
After that, Shen Yijin added with emotion: “After all, the world is too chaotic now, and even the slightest thing can cost us our lives.”
After hearing what Shen Yijin said, Xiyue's expression eased a little, but she didn't completely let down her guard.
She didn't chase the guests away anymore, and took them back to their respective rooms.
"Don't think about doing anything that is detrimental to the monastery. I will keep an eye on you all the time!" After saying this, Xiyue left.
It would be dinner time in half an hour, and she had to prepare food for everyone.
After Xiyue left, the guests immediately surrounded Chen Yijin in the center.
Su Yi looked at Shen Yijin with admiration: "Yijin, you are amazing. You dispelled Xiyue's vigilance against us with just one sentence."
Shen Yijin corrected her wording: "Xiyue still doubts us, she just became a little less vigilant towards us."
"Almost!" Su Yi asked curiously, "But how did you know what to say to appease Xiyue?"
The questions Su Yi asked were also what the other guests wanted to ask.
Ever since the Sword of Evil-Slaying was repaired, Nan Mingcheng has gradually been able to see the existence of ghosts.
He saw many ghost afterimages in the monastery and guessed that Shen Yijin might have gotten some clues from a certain ghost.
Afraid that Chen Yijin would have trouble explaining, Nan Mingcheng spoke first: "You should have guessed it based on Xiyue's clothes and the appearance of the monastery, right? We are all wearing clothes from the Republic of China, and most of the nuns are also wearing clothes from the Republic of China. There are traces of war everywhere in the monastery, so it's easy to guess that there is war everywhere now."
Shen Yijin nodded and said, "It's similar to what Nan Mingcheng said. There are many books in the library, and some of them are related to the current era."
Although the program team did not set those books as one of the clues, people who know history can roughly guess what period it was after seeing the names of those books.
At this time, both at home and abroad, there was chaos, giving people the illusion that being alive was a mistake.
Yu Hong suddenly realized: "So the people in the monastery are all homeless people who have suffered various hardships. It was the godfather who took them in and allowed them to live again."
Yu Hong's words seemed to have touched upon some key words. The curtains in the dormitory were suddenly drawn, and the guests were plunged into pitch darkness.
In the darkness, the candle on the table was suddenly lit, and the woman's sad voice echoed in the dormitory.
Su Yi suddenly buried herself in An Ningxuan's arms, closed her eyes tremblingly, covered her ears with her hands, and could not hear many sounds. Her condition improved.
The Calming Talisman on Ling Yun's body fluttered in the wind. Chen Yijin was quick to re-stick the talisman paper and prevented the Calming Talisman from flying away.
"It sounds like Sister Xiyue is crying. It turns out that Sister Xiyue is still here..." Shen Yijin heard the voice coming from the hairpin and knew that it was not talking about Xiyue played by the NPC, but the nun Xiyue who was actually picked up by the Godfather and brought back to the monastery decades ago.
"Why do there seem to be two crying voices?" Cong Lingyun was inexplicably annoyed by the crying voices. At first he could tell that it was the sound played by the program team, but the crying voice that came later sounded like someone was crying next to them.
An Ningxuan also heard it, she hesitated and said: "Is there an NPC hiding in the dormitory? Everyone be prepared, there may be an NPC coming out to scare us."
As if to confirm An Ningxuan's words, a woman in red suddenly appeared in front of the guests. Her face was pale and tears of blood were still flowing from her eyes.
Yu Hong bravely reached out to grab the NPC, but he missed and watched his hand pass through the woman in red.
Seeing this scene, the director was so frightened that he fell off his chair, and his voice was split with fear: "Where did this woman come from? Why is she floating in the air!"
