Soon, the two arrived at Jingchen's yard.
Wenxuan led Li Shu to a stop in front of the stone table, lowered his head slightly, and said in a depressed voice: "Uncle, I brought Sister Li here."
Jingchen was making tea. Hearing this, he looked up at him and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. But what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Master, I'm fine. I'll leave first. Call me if you have anything." Wenxuan said in a muffled voice.
"Oh, okay, you can leave now." Jingchen said.
Wenxuan responded and then turned and left.
Jing Chen glanced at his departing figure, then quickly retracted his gaze. His gaze finally landed on Li Shu. He raised his hand and pointed to the seat opposite him, smiling and saying, "Miss Li, I'm sorry, please take a seat."
Li Shu nodded, walked over and sat down opposite him, "Master Jingchen, long time no see."
Jingchen picked up the teacup, poured her a cup of hot tea, and then placed it next to her hand. "Yes, that's why I specially invited Miss Li to be our guest here. Don't rush to leave this time. Try the food in our Taoist temple at noon."
Li Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly. "Okay, then I won't be polite."
"I think Wenxuan doesn't look well. He refused to say anything when I asked him just now. Miss Li, do you know what happened?" Jingchen asked.
Li Shu put down the teacup and paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Hmm... maybe he's heartbroken."
"Broken heart?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jingchen's eyes, "When did this kid start secretly dating?"
"It should be because he lost his love before he even achieved it." Li Shu said softly.
"This..." Jingchen's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on her face, as if he had thought of something, "Could it be Miss Li..."
Li Shu coughed lightly, interrupting what he was about to say, "Master Jingchen, we just need to know it in our hearts, there's no need to say it out loud."
"Yes, it's enough to know it in your heart." Jing Chen smiled and then changed the subject: "By the way, I wonder if Miss Li has heard about what happened in Yanling Temple these two days?"
Li Shu picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, nodding slightly. "I heard that Taoist Jingchen also likes to surf the Internet?"
"That's not the case. I only knew about this from Wenxuan." Jingchen shook his head. "I just didn't expect the flesh-and-blood Buddha of Yanling Temple to be formed in this way."
Li Shu tilted her head, her dark eyes clear, "Hasn't Taoist Jingchen ever been to the Word Spirit Temple?"
"No." Jingchen said, "Although I know Abbot Yuanji, I have never had the opportunity to visit him. The main reason is that our Taoist temple affairs are very busy, and we usually need someone to stay with us."
He paused, sighed softly, and continued, "I was quite shocked when I heard about Yuanji's death. After all, he was quite powerful, and he had no enemies with anyone. How could he die so suddenly, and in that Flesh Buddha Temple?"
Jingchen picked up the teacup, blew away the foam, and said slowly, "Miss Li, do you think there might be some master hidden in T City?"
Li Shu stroked the wall of the cup with her fingertips, her face expressionless and nonchalant. "Maybe. After all, there are so many masters in this world that we don't know about."
"Miss Li is right." Jingchen nodded. "I heard from Wenxuan yesterday that Miss Li was also in T City a few days ago."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yeah, that's right."
Jingchen picked up the teapot and filled Li Shu's cup with tea. "I believe that with Ms. Li's strength, if she went to the Word Spirit Temple, she would definitely be able to tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the Buddha in the flesh."
"That's not certain. You'd have to see it in person to know for sure," Li Shu said. "But there's no need for that now."
Jingchen smiled and said, "Yes, come, have some tea."
Li Shu's eyes moved slightly, she hummed softly, lowered her eyelashes, picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam, and took two sips.
For some reason, she always felt that there was something else behind Jing Chen's words, as if he wanted to test her.
Could it be that he suspected that he was the one who did what happened at Yanling Temple?
Thinking about it this way, Li Shu felt more and more that this was the case. If he had any doubts, he could just ask her directly. Why did he have to beat around the bush and say so many things in a roundabout way? It was inexplicably strange.
After all, what she did was not a bad thing like burning, killing and looting, and strictly speaking, the person who had passed away was killed by the wronged souls in the hall, so her hands were not stained with blood.
"I have recently researched a new talisman. I wonder if Miss Li would be interested in helping me take a look and see if there are any areas that need improvement." Jingchen said again.
Li Shu's attention shifted after hearing this, but she actually became interested. She put down the teacup in her hand and looked at him with the corner of her eyes. "Okay, what kind of talisman is it?"
Jingchen took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not a completely new talisman. It's like this. I've always felt that the peace talisman and the protective amulet are very similar, so I thought of combining the two into a talisman that can both ensure safety and resist attacks."
Li Shu's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly. "That's a very good idea. At least I've never thought about it before. Can I see the new talisman that Taoist Jingchen has researched?"
"Of course, I wanted to show it to you anyway." Jingchen said as he stood up. "Wait a moment, I'll get it from the house."
Li Shu nodded, "Okay."
…
Soon, Jingchen came back with the talisman paper.
He handed the talisman paper in his hand to Li Shu, and then sat down in front of the stone table, "Come, take a look."
Li Shu nodded lightly, reached out to take it, and began to look at it carefully.
She spread the talisman paper flat on the stone table, her fingertips resting on a certain spot, and said, "I think this can be modified a little bit..."
Upon hearing this, Jingchen leaned forward slightly and listened to her quietly.
"But these are just my personal opinions. Taoist Jingchen can just listen to them. After all, I haven't practiced them myself." Li said.
"Ms. Li is too modest. I have benefited a lot from listening to you. If I follow your method and make changes, the effect will indeed be better." Jingchen exclaimed.
"Master Jingchen, you're too kind." Li Shu asked, "I wonder if I can also borrow Master Jingchen's idea. It's really convenient after the fusion."
Jingchen nodded, "Of course, I hope Miss Li can show me the talisman she drew."
Li Shu took a sip of tea and said, "Of course."
Jingchen looked at her and suddenly thought of something, so he suggested, "Oh, Miss Li, you probably haven't met my senior brother, Wenxuan's master yet. How about I take you to meet him now?"
Li Shu put down the teacup and thought for a moment, "Okay, then I'll trouble Taoist Jingchen."
Jingchen put away the talisman paper on the table, then stood up from the stone bench, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Follow me."
Li Shu nodded and stood up as well, "Okay."
