Chapter 435 Secret
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
Hu Xin'er felt a chill on her back: "Could it be that this really is a haunted temple?"
"I can't say for sure whether it's a haunted temple, but according to records, there's only one Lingyin Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, and it was burned down to the point where only broken arms and ruins are left!" Yin Li glanced at her belly, and after seeing that she didn't seem to be in any condition, he continued to explain with confidence.
Yin Li knew this because the ghost market was held here a few years ago.
Taoist Priest Yiqing suddenly realized and said, "No wonder this temple is so magnificent, but there is no incense at all, and there is only one person in the temple."
"One person?" Yin Li snorted and laughed, "I think it's a ghost, right?"
"Then the prescription he just gave us..." Hu Xiner felt a chill in her heart.
"I've checked the medicine, there's nothing wrong with it, and it did work for you after you drank it." Yin Li paused, "Besides, you two are both seriously ill. Even if there is something wrong, we can only try our best to save you."
What he said made sense, but Hu Xiner still couldn't help but worry about Lu's mother. She suddenly thought of something, took out a jade pendant from her arms, held it in her hand and prayed silently.
But what no one expected was that the moment she took out the jade pendant, the little monk suddenly appeared at the door!
Everyone was shocked to see him come back. They were all skilled in martial arts, but they didn't hear any footsteps. This little monk was indeed a ghost.
I just don’t know how long the little monk listened at the door.
The little monk did not have the defensive and surprised look of the people in the room. Instead, he stared at Hu Xiner intently, and his expression looked a little ferocious.
Hu Xiner subconsciously shrank into Mu Qing's arms.
It is said that monks should not be free from anger, ignorance or delusion, and should keep their minds as calm as still water. However, the little monk was so excited that his voice changed. "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
This jade pendant was given to Hu Xiner by the master invited by the emperor when he was repairing the library in the palace.
Because they knew about the strangeness of the temple before, everyone was very cautious and naturally would not tell the little monk the origin of the jade pendant so easily.
Seeing that they did not answer, the little monk walked quickly into the room, aiming directly at Hu Xiner.
Yin Li wanted to stop him, but she didn't know what kind of body movement he used. He was even more slippery than a loach. In the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of Hu Xiner's bed, ready to snatch the jade pendant.
Hu Xiner was startled and quickly hid the jade pendant in her arms.
Mu Qing also embraced her in his arms and glared at the little monk: "Monks are supposed to be compassionate, but why did you steal my wife's jade pendant?"
Because Hu Xin'er was holding the jade pendant tightly, the little monk had a hard time striking. After his strike missed, he said unwillingly, "I've already saved your lives, and you can't even take a look at your jade pendant? You're really too stingy."
After seeing the little monk's skills, Hu Xiner became more and more certain that he was a ghost. Although she was very panicked and scared, she didn't want to really go against him.
She stammered as she explained, "This jade pendant is very important to me, so I usually don't show it to outsiders. Master, please don't make things difficult for us."
The young monk's expression softened after hearing her explanation: "Indeed, this item is very important, so it's inevitable that you should be more cautious."
Seeing that he was fierce to other people but nicer to herself, Hu Xiner guessed that the little monk was soft-hearted and would not tolerate toughness.
Moreover, he didn't seem to mean any harm.
Thinking of this, she plucked up the courage to ask, "Master, do you know the origin of my jade pendant?"
Unexpectedly, when the little monk heard this, he rummaged in his pocket and took out an identical jade pendant.
It seems that the two jade pendants are a pair.
He looked at Hu Xin'er, and the corners of his drooping mouth suddenly lifted up. He said with a hint of anticipation: "If the female donor wants to know the origin, you must give me the jade pendant."
"No." Hu Xiner flatly denied.
If she had the chance, she would like to use this as a token to go and ask the master to tell her fortune.
"No? This is troublesome." The little monk touched his bald head and came up with an idea. "How about this, give me the jade pendant and I'll tell you a secret?"
Da! The little monk was hit on the bald head.
He glared at Yin Li and said, "How dare you, little demon, hit this master?"
Yin Li whistled nonchalantly: "You may not believe it, but the fan moved by itself."
In fact, he just saw the little monk's bald head, so he felt a little itchy.
The young monk was naturally not fooled by his poor excuse. Instead, he felt deeply insulted: "Do you think this master is a three-year-old child?"
At this time, Hu Xin'er asked hesitantly, "What secret are you exchanging with me?"
The little monk's attention was drawn back, and his expression changed from vicious to confident.
He just said in a resounding voice: "I know why you traveled through time!"
Hu Xin'er's heart skipped a beat: "The reason for traveling through time? You even know this? Are you lying to me?"
Seeing that she was indeed interested in this, the young monk felt that he had her firmly under his control, and his tone became somewhat leisurely: "My Lingyin Temple is a first-class sect. It is just a soul from another world. There is no need to use the sect's treasures. Just a little calculation by this monk is enough~"
"Wow, Master, you're amazing!" Hu Xin'er cheered up and asked tentatively, "So what is the sect's treasure?"
The little monk said proudly: "Of course it is Buddha..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly changed his tone: "You don't need to know these things. Anyway, do you want to trade with me?"
"Then go ahead." Hu Xiner thought about it and nodded.
"Actually..." The little monk was about to speak when he was interrupted again.
Hu Xin'er asked nervously, "Can you figure out where the original Hu Xin'er went? Is she doing well now?"
The young monk nodded: "Of course you can, but if you want to exchange this secret with me, the previous secret will not count."
Hu Xin'er said without hesitation: "Then I choose the second one!"
Although, knowing the reason why she traveled through time might help her find a way to return to the modern era and solve the mystery in her heart.
However, the Lu family is now in danger, and she can never abandon her friends, relatives and loved ones and return to the modern world.
Therefore, it would be better to calculate what kind of life the original owner is living now. If she is reincarnated, she can also form a relationship with him.
The little monk tilted his head, somewhat puzzled: "Don't you miss your relatives and friends in the other world?"
