Li Shu walked to the gate and stopped, her eyes fixed on the closed door. She then took out an invisibility talisman from her pocket and used it on herself.
She walked to the high red wall and leaped directly to the top of the wall which was more than three meters high. Then she jumped down again and sneaked into the Yanling Temple silently.
Following her memory from the day, Li Shu came to the hall where the Buddha's body was placed.
Even at night, this hall is still brightly lit with candles, as if everywhere else is dark.
It was just that the flickering candlelight shone on the peaceful face of the Buddha statue, half shadow and half bright, which gave it an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
Li Shu showed up and quickly glanced around the hall, her gaze finally settling on a spot where the center of the formation was being sealed.
As long as the eye of the formation is broken, all the suppressed souls can be released.
Li Shu didn't waste any time. She walked over directly, gathered the spiritual power in her palm, and then struck it towards the center of the formation.
The next second, all the candles in the hall suddenly went out, and the suppressed souls were released.
For a moment, a cold wind blew in the hall and the temperature dropped sharply.
Li Shu cast a talisman and looked at the ghosts in front of her who were trapped. She said slowly, "Do you want to take revenge on your own, or do I liberate you now and help you take revenge at the same time."
Just as he finished speaking, someone appeared at the door of the hall.
Li Shu turned around and looked behind her, her eyebrows slightly raised. She was not too surprised that the person who came was the deceased abbot.
When he saw Li Shu's face clearly, Yuanji's pupils suddenly contracted, "It's you!"
He sensed it the moment the seal was broken and rushed over immediately.
"It's me." Li Shu nodded slightly. At the same time, she felt the ghosts behind her begin to stir. She curled her lips and said leisurely, "Abbot Yuanji, you came quite quickly. As expected, the seal in this hall is your work."
Yuanji narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He felt that this girl was very suspicious during the day, but he did not expect that she would sneak into the temple in the middle of the night and break his seal directly.
He looked at Li Shu with a wary look on his face, "Who are you? How could you break my formation so easily? Besides, I have no grudge against you."
"You probably won't have the chance to know. After all, the wronged souls behind me want to seek revenge on you." After saying that, Li Shu snapped her fingers, releasing them from their immobilization.
When the wronged souls saw that they could move, they immediately pounced on Yuanji with their fangs and claws.
Yuanji frowned, but did not look too panicked. He immediately raised his hands and formed a seal to block the wronged spirits that were attacking him.
Li Shu raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly when she saw this. Just as she had guessed, Yuanji was indeed quite capable and these wronged souls were no match for him.
Li Shu didn't want to watch the show anymore. Wanting to end the battle quickly, she immediately raised her hand and attacked Yuanji.
Yuanji was still dealing with those wronged souls, but now Li Shu took the opportunity to join the battle. For a while, he was surrounded by enemies and was unable to cope with it. The situation was reversed in an instant.
He was defeated in a short while, and was surrounded by those wronged souls, leaving only miserable screams.
Li Shu patted the non-existent dust on her hands, glanced at the miserable dead Yuanji on the ground, and quickly retracted her gaze. Her eyes fell on the wronged souls, and without any nonsense, she started to make hand gestures and directly liberated all of them.
Her gaze fell on the flesh-and-blood Buddha statues placed in the main hall. She raised her hand and waved it, and the originally peaceful expressions of the Buddha statues slowly turned into a state of fear before death. The gold paint on their bodies disappeared, and their heads drooped. The most eye-catching thing was the long nails that pierced through their bodies and pierced out from the back of their necks.
After finishing everything, Li Shu put her hands in her pockets, stepped over the deceased body, closed the door of the hall, disappeared into the darkness, and left slowly.
......
Back at the hotel, Li Shu came to the door of Ji Yanli's room and knocked on his door.
After a few seconds, Ji Yanli opened the door. When he saw who was at the door, his eyes lit up and his heart finally relaxed. "You're back. Is everything going well? Are you hurt?"
"It went smoothly." Li Shu walked in. "Don't worry, second brother, I'm not hurt."
Ji Yanli closed the door and followed him.
Li Shu walked to the coffee table and stopped, her eyes falling on the unopened takeout boxes on it. It seemed that they were all her favorite foods. "Second brother, how did you know I was hungry?"
"Please sit down and eat. I guess you must be hungry after traveling back and forth, so I ordered in advance and wait for you to come back." Ji Yanli said with a smile.
Li Shu sat down on the sofa and picked up the disposable chopsticks. "Second brother, come and eat with us."
Ji Yanli nodded, sat down next to her, and as he opened his lunch box, he asked, "By the way, has the deceased abbot shown up?"
Li Shu unpacked the chopsticks slowly and calmly. "It appeared. The seal in the hall was his work. He rushed over right after I broke it."
"Then what?" Ji Yanli asked.
Li Shu picked up a shrimp and put it into her mouth, saying concisely: "Then he was killed by those wronged souls. I saved those wronged souls and came back directly."
"I think there will be chaos in Yanling Temple tomorrow. The death of the abbot is a big deal." Ji Yanli said.
"It's okay, they can't find me." Li Shu said slowly, "This Word Spirit Temple will soon be unable to operate."
"That's good." Ji Yanli said.
......
The next day.
At daybreak, the young monk in charge of daily cleaning came to the main hall door yawning.
He frowned and looked at the closed door in front of him with some surprise.
You should know that in this hall where the Buddha's body is placed, the abbot has instructed that candles must be lit every night and burn until dawn, and the door must not be closed.
He clearly remembered that he did not close the door of the hall when he left last night. Who was so careless as to ignore the abbot's words and close the door?
The young monk suppressed his doubts and pushed open the heavy mahogany door.
"ah!"
The little monk couldn't help but widen his eyes, his pupils trembling violently, and he fell to the ground in fear, his face full of horror. He never expected to see this when he opened the door.
The abbot who was fine last night was found dead in the hall, and even the flesh-and-blood Buddha statues in the hall had changed their appearance.
In particular, the long nails piercing from the back of each body's neck were deeply imprinted in his eyes.
Only then did he truly understand how the Buddha in the flesh came to be, and how this was the path to becoming a Buddha...
He still remembered that a few days ago, the abbot praised him for his wisdom. Thinking about it now, he was really horrified.
