Chapter 223 The Strange Master
Xu Muhua and Feng Shaoqing both had strange looks on their faces.
It was the first time that someone asked them whether they would donate money to burn incense and pray to the gods.
Xu Muhua secretly scanned the surrounding environment and expressed deep understanding.
It was understandable that they wanted pilgrims to donate money to the temple, as it was in such a state of decline. After all, it was obvious that the temple was very poor, and it didn't look like it had any other business income besides the money from the temple.
It was not like some Buddhist temples, which had more land under their names than the landlords, and the rent alone was a huge income. Someone once joked that the richest people in the world were not the businessmen, but the monks.
She quickly calmed down and showed a pious smile on her face, "Of course, we are all believers, and we will definitely donate money when we come to burn incense and pray to the gods."
The little Taoist priest also showed a happy smile on his face.
"I heard that the master of Xuanqing Temple is a Taoist master, so this time I came to ask the master for help. My family encountered some strange things that cannot be explained by common sense. I hope the master can help me solve this problem."
"If the master can help me solve this problem, let alone the money, I am willing to rebuild the golden body of the statue enshrined in the hall!"
Not only the little Taoist priest was surprised, but also Feng Shaoqing.
Rebuilding the golden body, does she know what she is talking about? Or is she actually fooling this little Taoist priest?
"Really? Are you really going to remake the statue of God?"
The young Taoist priest was so excited that he couldn't believe it.
Today, a pilgrim finally came. Not only will he donate money for incense, but he will also remake the statue of God?
"Of course, but the premise is that you have to help me solve the problem at home."
The excited expression on the young Taoist priest's face paused, and he immediately said, "You guys just look around first, I'll go find the abbot!"
After that, he ran away!
Xu Muhua looked around and felt that there was nothing to see. It was like visiting the ruins of some place that had been abandoned for many years. The ruins were at least a tourist attraction after renovation. This place was purely wild.
Neither she nor Feng Shaoqing moved. It seemed that they didn't know where to go or what to see.
"Ahem, sister Muhua, since something in your family that cannot be explained by common sense has happened, how did you find here to seek help? To be honest, I just knew there is a Taoist temple on Xuanqing Mountain."
So it is not well-known, and I am afraid that people with no ability may not be able to solve the problems of Chengguo Mansion.
Xu Muhua wanted to sigh.
"Actually, I also heard it from others."
In fact, she didn't expect it to be so inconspicuous before she came! She thought that even if it was not as good as Xiangguo Temple, it should not be too far behind. Unexpectedly, the gap was like heaven and earth.
Xiangguo Temple was magnificent, with a lot of incense, pilgrims coming one after another, and the sound of Sanskrit was endless. But here, there was no one in sight, only the whistling wind, which was so desolate.
"That person couldn't have been unaware of the situation at Xuanqing Temple, but he still introduced it to you. Obviously, he has bad intentions."
Female ghost: It's unfair!
She obviously introduced it with good intentions!
Oh my!
Xu Muhua was silent for a moment, and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go back and settle the score with her."
After a long time without seeing anyone coming back, Xu Muhua suggested, "Why don't we just walk around?"
Feng Shaoqing nodded, "Okay."
Anyway, waiting is a waste of time.
The two of them were not familiar with this place, so they could only walk around.
After a round, they were more certain that this Xuanqing Temple probably only had a name and the archway left. The other main halls were like ruins, and you could even see the sky directly when you looked up! The
more Xu Muhua looked, the more silent he became.
Feng Shaoqing wanted to comfort her, but at this moment the little Taoist priest came back again, sweating profusely, as if he had been looking for them for a long time.
"Finally I found you! You are walking so fast! Dear believer, aren't you looking for the abbot? Please follow me!"
Xu Muhua nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you, little Taoist priest."
Hearing her shout, the little Taoist priest actually blushed.
He led Xu Muhua and Feng Shaoqing around in Xuanqing Temple, and it was unknown how long they walked before they arrived at a monastery.
"Master, Master, I have brought the person here, please come out to greet him!"
If he ran away, I don't know how long it would take for pilgrims to come next time!
Xu Muhua, Feng Shaoqing: "..."
There was no need to use the word "greet".
After a long time, a slightly dissatisfied voice came from the inner room: "Here they come, why are you rushing them! Since they are here, they can't leave without leaving money for incense, why are you in such a hurry..."
The little Taoist priest also heard the second half of the sentence, which sounded like a murmur, and his face changed.
He reminded loudly: "Master, the distinguished guest is already in the room!" So don't talk nonsense! People have heard it! What if they scare people away?
Xu Muhua and Feng Shaoqing didn't know whether to turn around and leave or pretend that they didn't hear it.
After the little Taoist priest shouted, it was quiet inside, as if there was no sound of footsteps.
After a while, a tall and thin man wearing a loose Taoist robe came out from behind the partition curtain. Xu Muhua took a closer look and found that his Taoist robe actually had a lot of patches!
When the man saw the two of them, his eyes lit up and his face subconsciously filled with smiles. But he didn't know what he was thinking of, and his smile disappeared again. His expression became profound, and he deliberately put on the posture of a master.
He nodded slightly, bowed his hands, and said, "I wish you a long life."
Xu Muhua and Feng Shaoqing also returned the greeting.
After sitting down, the man said, "I heard that the believers have something to ask for. I wonder if you can explain it in detail. If I can help the believers, I will certainly be very happy."
I don't know why, but Xu Muhua felt a sense of disharmony when he heard him say this. It was as if this person was pretending.
But since things have developed to this point, they have to give it a try no matter what.
Feng Shaoqing originally wanted to avoid it, but Xu Muhua waved his hand.
Anyway, it has come to this, there is no need to avoid it.
"It's like this, in my family..."
Xu Muhua told the story, but did not say what happened to Xu Jinyu. He only said that there was someone in the mansion.
Feng Shaoqing's eyes flashed, and he guessed something, but he didn't know whether the person who was possessed by the evil spirit was Arui's sister or brother.
The Taoist priest, who was only thinking about the incense money, couldn't help but look a little solemn after hearing this. It
turned out to be a body snatching. If this is really the case, then he...
