The people nearby chanted piously without looking away, completely ignoring their joining.
Ma Yingbei was confused, "But I don't know how to chant."
Even if he came from a Xuanmen family, he wouldn't be able to do this.
Master Liuyun smiled and said, "It's okay. Just calm down and listen to the chanting, and you will naturally learn it."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and began to chant while beating the wooden fish.
The complicated scriptures make people feel dazed.
Ma Yingbei and Xiao Shaoyan had closed their eyes involuntarily, and after only a few seconds, one could hear the sound of chanting scriptures from their mouths.
Wen Xi also wanted to find out what was going on, so he simply closed his eyes. The sound of chanting kept drilling into his ears, like the sound of a devil, bewitching their minds and eroding their vitality.
Hehehe…
Amid the eerie sound of chanting, Wen Xi heard a different voice.
She opened her eyes and saw nearly transparent evil souls floating in the air, sticking to every pilgrim who was chanting and praying, wantonly absorbing their energy and spirit.
The originally kind-looking Buddha statue also began to twist and transform, revealing its true face. It peeled off the gilded shell on its body, revealing its dark body. It had six hands and climbed down from the table at an extremely fast speed. Its ferocious face faced the pilgrim closest to it, and the nearby ghosts all made way for him.
He showed a greedy expression, opened his bloody mouth, and was about to swallow the pilgrim in one gulp.
Bang!
With a loud noise, all the ghosts stopped moving, including the most ferocious ghost and Abbot Liuyun. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at the culprit who made the sound with coldness and bloodlust.
Wen Xi blinked innocently. The pots and bowls she had brought out from the cafeteria shattered into pieces and fell in front of her.
Host Liuyun asked coldly, "Donor, what are you doing?"
Those little ghosts also gathered towards Wen Xi, staring at her with ill intentions, wanting to get close to her to absorb her energy and spirit.
“Hehehe…”
"Ahhh, what is that? It tastes so bad!"
"It's not so much that it tastes bad, it's more that it's too horrifying. What kind of feeling is this? My soul feels like it's being evaporated!"
"Who is this person? There seems to be something wrong with her soul."
When the little ghosts approached Wen Xi, they screamed and fled faster than each other. They all crowded in the corner and looked at her in fear.
Wen Xi remained calm, ignoring the presence of these little devils, and smiled sheepishly, "Oh, I wasn't full just now, so I brought some food out from the cafeteria, thinking I could take it out and eat some when I was hungry. I didn't expect that I moved too much and accidentally broke it. I'm really sorry for disturbing you."
At some point, the chanting stopped, and the pilgrims nearby stared at Wen Xi with dangerous and murderous eyes. Wen Xi seemed to feel nothing and his expression remained relaxed.
In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, they can’t see the little ghost and the hideous ghost thing at all, and what they see is still the kind-hearted host Liuyun.
Liuyun, “…”
Liuyun glanced at the debris on the ground and his eyelids twitched.
He really believed her lies and thought they were true. He was even a little curious about how she managed to bring in such a big pot and bowl without any abnormality.
Abbot Liuyun said coldly, "This is a very solemn occasion. Eating is not allowed. If you can't calm down and pray for your brother, you'd better leave here as soon as possible."
Wen Xi said confidently, "Abbot Liuyun, I can do it. I don't feel that hungry anymore. I will continue chanting."
She closed her eyes and chanted, and she could hear the many-armed monster crawling towards her, its cold breath spraying on her face, with a smell of blood.
Wen Xi didn't move at all, as if she didn't see him, without any movement.
After a long time, the monster seemed unable to enter her, and after spraying a few breaths, it changed its target.
Wen Xi opened his eyes and saw the monster had stopped beside Ma Yingbei, sticking out its long tongue, wanting to taste something.
Although Ma Yingbei closed his eyes, cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead. He swallowed and his body was shaking.
The monster seemed to be a little interested in Ma Yingbei and opened its mouth as if it wanted to eat him.
“Oh my!”
Wen Xi screamed and successfully disturbed the monster. He glared at Wen Xi with a bad look, looking very upset, and his bloodshot eyes were about to burst into flames.
Abbot Liuyun was shocked when he saw this scene. He could no longer sit still and quickly stood up and bowed to the monster repeatedly, trying to humbly appease his anger.
The monster was so angry that he wanted to do something to Wen Xi, but he seemed unable to move Wen Xi. His hooked tail swept across Liuyun Host, venting his anger on him, like a whip, making a loud noise.
Abbot Liuyun broke out in a cold sweat, but he managed to hold it in without screaming.
The monster lost its desire to eat, turned around angrily and returned to the tribute table, standing in the place where the Buddha statue was, and in an instant it turned into its original sculpture appearance.
Abbot Liuyun exhaled a breath of foul air, glared at Wen Xi with bloodshot eyes, and shouted angrily, "What are you going to do now? Are you hungry again? I have told you so many times that you cannot eat in such a solemn occasion and place, and you are not even allowed to talk casually!"
Wen Xi smiled embarrassedly, "It's my problem. I still can't calm my mind and concentrate. I feel my legs are numb, so I cried out. It seems that I should adjust my mindset first."
Abbot Liuyun didn't want to pretend anymore, and quickly waved his hand, saying disdainfully, "Go away, don't stay here."
"Okay, when I'm ready, I'll come back and chant sutras and pray for blessings."
Wen Xi stood up lightly and walked out of the main hall.
Liu Xing, who was standing at the door, had been looking around. When he saw Wen Xi coming out, his eyes widened and he asked, "What on earth did you do to make the host so angry?"
Wen Xi asked back, "Is Elder Liu Xing so curious? Then why don't you go in and take a look? What? Are you not qualified to go in?"
Liu Xing's expression froze for a moment, and he had a subtle feeling that he was being seen through.
"Of course not. Everyone can enter the Great Hall. Look, pilgrims can go in, so why shouldn't I be allowed in? It's just that the temple has a rule that when the abbot leads the group in chanting and praying, the rest of the people have to stay outside."
Liu Xing covered his fist and coughed lightly, his eyes wandering as he spoke.
“Oh, really?”
Wen Xi said calmly, "That's such a pity. I won't be able to see the excitement."
