Chapter 94 How did they meet?
The dream she had at night was so terrifying that Jiang Jiu was distracted the whole day, fearing that a fox would emerge from some corner and take her away.
However, until she got out of school in the evening, she didn't encounter anything strange, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe it was because she was frightened by Xiao Nianzhong last time, but the girls in the school didn't bother her anymore. It was just that the other students around her looked at her strangely. But Jiang Jiu didn't care. It was good that no one disturbed her, so she was happy to be free.
But when she walked out of the classroom and went down the stairs, she happened to hear her classmates discussing.
"That new guy really knows witchcraft, right?"
"Sister Xin hasn't been to school. My friends say she seems to be possessed by a demon. She's been talking nonsense and having nightmares and sleepwalking these past few days. It's really scary."
"That's it. Given Sister Xin's parents' personalities, they'll definitely come back and cause trouble for the school soon. And that transfer student..."
"Hey, hey, you can't say that. After all, that transfer student is a bit..."
The two boys discussed in low voices, but they didn't expect that Jiang Jiu was right behind them. They didn't say anything until Jiang Jiu's figure appeared in their sight. After all, the rumored Jiang Jiu was quite scary.
Jiang Jiu didn't even look at them. She heard their discussion, but she didn't care.
I speed up my pace just to get home earlier.
Stepping out of the school gate, it seemed as if all the bad things were isolated inside. Jiang Jiu let out a long breath, turned and walked towards the bus stop. Today she wanted to go to... a temple on the outskirts of the city.
Although she usually doesn't believe in these things, but ghosts, mermaids, and demons...
With all the factors combined, she had no choice but to believe it.
Besides her, there was another man whose face could not be seen clearly at the bus stop. He was wearing a cream-colored sweatshirt and a hat, so his face could not be seen clearly. However, even though his face could not be seen clearly, his tall stature and unique noble temperament made people look at him sideways.
Jiang Jiu stood beside him, feeling strange in her heart. The intuition of what was going to happen lingered in her mind, and she subconsciously moved closer to the edge of the man.
That’s right, ginger wine chooses to stay away.
Although they were waiting for the bus together, there were too many strange things happening recently, and Jiang Jiu just wanted to live a peaceful life.
She had no reason to stare at a stranger, and after moving away, she stopped looking at the man. But for some reason, she always felt that there was a burning gaze locked on her. She looked around but could not see anything.
Jiang Jiu was puzzled. There was only her and that man at this bus stop...
Could it be that he was staring at her?
This realization made Jiang Jiu feel uneasy, and all kinds of bad ideas were wandering in his mind.
Fortunately, until the No. 801 bus arrived, the man did not do anything else strange or approach her. Jiang Jiu relaxed and hurried to get on the bus.
Then...
She saw the man coming up.
Jiang Jiu chose a seat in the middle of the bus, a lower chair, which just happened to meet the eyes of the man who walked in with his head lowered. The pupils of his eyes, which were a different color from those of ordinary people, made Jiang Jiu's eyes widen instantly, but it was only a fleeting glance before the man walked to the back seat of the bus.
She quickly looked away, patted her chest soothingly, and muttered to herself.
In modern society, there are things like colored contact lenses. Maybe he is just a handsome guy who likes to dress up. Don't be too suspicious.
But she could never forget those eyes.
Can cosmetic contact lenses make the effect of animal eyes like snakes so realistic?
She seemed to see his pupils shrink vertically, just like a real snake.
Jiang Jiu fell into deep thought, but quickly shook her head to get rid of all the strange thoughts. She looked at which station the bus was going to. The Leming Temple she was going to was at the terminal, so she only had to wait for a while.
Anyway....
If she really encountered some inhuman creature, such as a monster, it should not be able to enter the temple.
Isn’t it said that incense can ward off evil spirits?
Jiang Jiu thought as he comforted himself.
Little did she know that those eyes had been fixed on her all the time and had never left her body. The man had been staring at her without blinking since he got in the car, regardless of the scenery outside.
The journey was extremely quiet. There were not many passengers in the bus, and most of them got off at a station in the city. When they arrived at the temple station, only Jiang Jiu and the man were left in the bus, which made Jiang Jiu even more uneasy. However, when she thought of the driver in front, her heart finally settled down.
"I hope I'm wrong."
She muttered to herself.
There have been so many strange things happening recently that Jiang Jiu feels like he's becoming a little neurotic.
After getting off the car, the summer wind blew towards me. The sky had been dyed orange by the sunset. I could feel a certain amount of heat facing the light, but it was not as hot as during the day. In front of the lush woods was the nearest temple. There was still a faint smoke rising above the temple, which looked very sacred.
The man and Jiang Jiu got out of the car together. Jiang Jiu didn't wait any longer and walked straight into the depths of the temple. There was a small path outside, with rows of willow trees on both sides. Walking here normally must have a very pleasant atmosphere, warm and quiet, which can soothe people's hearts, but now...
Yes, that man followed.
This realization made Jiang Jiu unable to stop being terrified.
She wasn't even sure if the man was a human. If he wasn't, she would never be found even after she died.
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but want to speed up his pace and quickly enter the temple. There were monks inside, and as long as there were people there, he would be safe.
She even felt a little regretful about her actions today, otherwise how could she have encountered this situation.
Jiang Jiu was feeling annoyed, but she still had to move forward. The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and her pace was getting faster and faster. Until the moment she stepped into the temple gate, the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally fell back.
Now that thing that looks like a monster shouldn't be able to get in, right?
Even if they could get in, there was no way one person could hurt her under the watchful eyes of a bunch of monks.
As Jiang Jiu was thinking, he raised his head and saw a... uh... handsome and extraordinary abbot standing in the middle of the Buddhist hall?
He was wearing a gorgeous and clean moon-white cassock, holding a Zen stick, with his head lowered and his eyes looking down at her, which made Jiang Jiu's heart jump twice for no apparent reason.
Is it true that there is such a handsome monk in the temple?
Jiang Jiu was confused.
Then she heard the monk say again.
"I didn't expect to meet you in front of the Buddha."
Jiang Jiu was stunned. She didn't react before a male voice came from behind her.
"Tsk, I didn't expect she would find you first."
She was shocked and turned around suddenly, only to see another handsome face. It was the man in the white sweatshirt from before. Who would have thought that he actually knew the abbot of this temple?!
Jiangjiu's brain crashed.
