The monster roared and waved its claws to fight back. Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo dodged in the narrow space, trying to find an opportunity to end the battle. But the monster's defense was extremely strong, and their attacks were like tickling to it.
At this moment, Sheng Yunrong noticed a seemingly weak spot on the monster's body. She immediately shouted to Tu Subo, "Brother Tu Su, look at its neck! That seems to be our chance!"
Tu Subo heard Sheng Yunrong's shout, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he adjusted the direction of his attack. Sheng Yunrong took this opportunity, aimed at the monster's neck, and stabbed with all her strength.
The tip of the sword sank into the monster's neck, and it let out a shrill howl and began to tremble. Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo took the opportunity to attack continuously, and finally, the monster fell under their joint attack.
"We succeeded!" Tu Subo said excitedly, panting.
Sheng Yunrong was also ecstatic, but she quickly calmed down: "Don't let your guard down, there may be other dangers here. We have to leave here quickly."
The two quickly passed the fallen monster and continued along the secret passage. Soon, they came to the end of the secret passage and found a half-open wooden door. Sheng Yunrong gently pushed the wooden door open, and a beam of light came in. They carefully poked their heads out and found that they had arrived at the backyard of the temple.
The backyard was empty, but under the moonlight they could clearly see a path leading out of the temple. Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes.
"Let's go!" Sheng Yunrong whispered, and the two of them quickly left Kurong Temple along the path. They didn't dare to stop until they had walked a long distance, gasping for breath before reviewing the thrilling experience they had just had.
…
Tu Subo was sitting outside the temple when he realized that the temple had suddenly emitted a series of piercing noises. He frowned and was about to get up to investigate when he saw Sheng Yunrong, the eldest daughter of the Sheng Mansion, hurried over with several followers.
Sheng Yunrong was dressed in red, with picturesque features and an elegant temperament. She looked at Tu Subo with a hint of concern in her eyes: "Mr. Tu Su, have you heard that strange voice?"
Tu Subo nodded, stood up and said, "Yes, Miss Sheng, I was just thinking about going over to take a look. Would you like to go with me?"
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Of course. This matter concerns the peace of the temple. As the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, I will do my best."
The two walked into the temple together, and saw a monk in the main hall holding a wooden fish, hitting it hard, making a harsh sound. When the monk saw Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo, he stopped the wooden fish in his hand, put his hands together and saluted: "Amitabha, two donors, I am honored to meet you."
Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and said, "Master, what do you mean? Why do you make such a harsh sound?"
The monk sighed and said, "My two benefactors, I am helpless. Recently, strange things have happened in the temple. At night, there are always cries. I am worried that the peace of the temple is threatened, so I have to use the sound of the wooden fish to drive away the evil spirits."
Tu Subo frowned and said, "Master, do you know where this crying sound comes from? Maybe who made it?"
The monk shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just think the crying sound is extremely mournful and makes me shudder."
Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment and said, "Master, I have something to ask you. Can you tell me? Has anything unusual ever happened in this temple?"
The monk's face changed, and he said, "My two benefactors, this matter involves the temple's secrets, so I cannot disclose it. However, if you two benefactors really want to know, I can take you to a place."
Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo looked at each other and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."
The monk led them through the temple and came to a dilapidated room in the backyard. There was a strange smell in the room. Sheng Yunrong frowned and said, "Master, is this the place you are talking about?"
The monk nodded and said, "Yes. This was once a place where a monk practiced in seclusion. However, during his practice, he unfortunately became possessed and eventually died. Since then, this room has become a forbidden area in the temple."
Tu Su Bo asked: "Master, is the technique that the monk is practicing related to this crying sound?"
The monk was silent for a moment, and then said, "I am not sure. But the crying did start shortly after the monk died."
Sheng Yunrong asked: "Then how should we solve this problem?"
The monk pondered and said, "Perhaps, we need to find the monk's relics and see if we can find a way to crack it."
Tu Subo nodded and said, "Master, let's start looking."
Led by the monk, they began to search for the monk's relics in the temple. After searching for a while, they found a dilapidated wooden box in the wing room. In the wooden box, in addition to some daily necessities, there was also a yellowed book.
Sheng Yunrong picked up the book and asked, "Is this the monk's cultivation method?"
The monk nodded and said, "Yes. But the book has long been eroded by time, and the words on it are blurred. I have tried to repair it, but I still can't recognize it."
Tu Subo said: "Miss Sheng, can you try to repair this book? Maybe you can find the key to solve the problem."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll give it a try."
In the following days, Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo began to repair the book. They worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and finally finished the book. However, the content of the book surprised them.
It turned out that the skill the monk was practicing was actually an evil spell. This spell could make people go astray and eventually die. Unfortunately, the monk triggered the spell during his practice, which led to his own death.
After discussing with Tu Subo, Sheng Yunrong decided to take the book back to Sheng Mansion and consult the scholars there. They hoped to find a way to crack the spell and eliminate the disaster for the temple.
Before leaving the temple, Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo said goodbye to the monk. The monk looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you, two donors. I hope you can break the spell soon and bring peace to the temple."
Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Master, rest assured, we will do our best."
…
At this time, in Tu Su's house, red silk was fluttering, and drums and music were blaring. As night fell, the lights came on, and the house was decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was joyful. People walked around the house, laughing and talking, celebrating the big day of Qin Wenyuan and Tu Su Yuwei.
At the wedding, Qin Wenyuan was dressed in a red robe, looking radiant. He looked at Tu Su Yuwei beside him, his heart full of joy and expectation. Tu Su Yuwei was dressed in a splendid wedding dress, beautiful and charming. She gently held Qin Wenyuan's hand, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
"Qin Wenyuan, today we are finally married and will spend the rest of our lives together. You must treat me well." Tu Su Yuwei whispered with a hint of shyness in her tone.
