On the day the temple opened to the public, Bian Lang sat on the stone steps at the temple entrance.
To his surprise, despite the notice posted a few days earlier stating that anyone who came to the temple to pray would have their wish granted, no matter what they made, it would not come true.
But on the day the temple opened, not a single person came to offer incense.
The people probably felt that if they came to offer incense today, they would be arrested and punished by the imperial court.
There were rumors that the Empress built this temple to wipe out all those who believed in the monk in her dream.
If the monk in the dream truly had followers, they would only come to burn incense at night, and might even wait several days until the imperial court stopped paying attention to the temple before daring to come.
Even after Bian Lang leaves the temple, someone will still be responsible for keeping watch.
But they only keep watch and will never make things difficult for the people who come to offer incense.
As a result, no one went to the temple to burn incense for several days in a row.
Just when Bian Lang thought the temple could be demolished, a large number of worshippers suddenly poured into the temple.
The once very calm temple suddenly became very lively.
The worshippers knelt in the main hall, praying silently and kowtowing repeatedly, all showing great devotion.
Bian Lang rushed over upon hearing the news, and seeing the busy figures of the pilgrims, he felt that the matter had become even more interesting.
It's because those worshippers aren't flesh-and-blood people, but rather, like the members of a circus, they're all paper figures.
The person behind the scenes can bring paper figures to life and do a lot of things for them. To be honest, Bian Lang is very envious of this ability.
"Honey, the extraordinary people I recruited have arrived. They might be able to help." Seeing Bian Lang looking worried all the time, Shangguan Hongyu felt a pang of heartache.
Bian Lang asked in confusion, "Extraordinary people?"
“In my empire, there are many extraordinary people with extraordinary abilities. You’ll see when you meet them,” Shangguan Hongyu said excitedly.
She recruited these people to the capital because she wanted to follow the clues and find the source.
This time, however, it wasn't the vines that were being carried, but the paper figures.
Making a paper figure is extremely laborious, and no matter how careful the person behind it is, they will still leave their own scent on the paper figure.
If we follow this scent, we should be able to find the paper craftsman soon.
Shangguan Hongyu led Bian Lang to a side hall, where those extraordinary people were.
Their appearances are all very distinctive, one could say they are all quite bizarre.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." They all stood up to greet Shangguan Hongyu as she entered.
Shangguan Hongyu smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need for formalities. His name is Bian Lang. From this moment on, you will be under Bian Lang's command."
