"lively?"
Liu Xing felt a tingle of curiosity, but he eventually suppressed it. "Amitabha, no matter what, benefactor, you have rashly come out and interrupted the prayer process. The effect will be very poor. If your heart is not sincere, it will not be effective."
Wen Xi said perfunctorily, "Yeah, I know."
"you…"
Liu Xing was about to say something when he saw Ma Yingbei, Wen Chenxi, and Xiao Shaoyan running out. His eyes widened and he said disapprovingly, "What do you all mean? How can you just walk around praying like that? Such a big... the abbot will be angry. Do you still want good health? Do you still want to pray for marriage? Do you want lovers to finally get married?"
Wen Chenxi said sternly, "Good health is certainly important, but my physical fitness is not very high. I feel like I can't breathe after sitting in meditation for a long time. Let me rest for a while."
Xiao Shaoyan was even more astonished, saying nonchalantly, "Marriage is destined by heaven. Whether it's Sister Xiaoxi or my boss, as long as one of them is willing to be with me, it's all fine."
He completely gave up and accepted this setting!
Wen Chenxi felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Ma Yingbei said, "Being the second male lead for life and guarding the person I love, I think it's also very happy."
Liu Xing, “…”
What else can he say?
Liu Xing turned around and left. He wanted to ask Wuming why he let these lunatics in. They were simply torturing him.
After Liu Xing left, Wen Xi and the others returned to the wing room.
Ma Yingbei gasped and said, "Damn, what on earth was that just now? Could it be the monsters we saw in the ruins before? Are there any here too?"
Just now he didn't dare to breathe, for fear of seeing that bloody mouth when he opened his eyes.
Xiao Shaoyan said seriously, "Honestly, if Wen Xi hadn't broken things at that time, I feel like I would have lost my mind. It was like a force was bewitching me, and I almost fell victim to it and lost my consciousness."
Wen Chenxi rubbed his brows. "There's something wrong with that scripture. And the incense burning in the temple, that fragrance is also wrong. It makes my chest feel stuffy. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll become a puppet without my own consciousness like the other pilgrims."
Xiao Shaoyan said, "No wonder so many people are missing. They're all here. It looks like we need to find a way to contact the other people in the Special Management Bureau and clean up this place together."
Wen Xi shook his head and said, "No, it's not that simple. I'm wrong about one thing. This thing isn't a monster created in a laboratory, but... an evil god!"
Xiao Shaoyan and others were all stunned.
"Evil God?"
They were stunned.
Wen Xi said, "Well, haven't you heard of it? In ancient times, there were evil gods. They relied on devouring human desires, and dark emotions grew wildly. They were quite powerful, luring humans to give them shelter and let them worship them. They ate human souls and once wiped out an entire village overnight. The underworld couldn't even pull souls in, disrupting the reincarnation cycle and causing great chaos. At that time, the Emperor of Fengdu joined forces with other rulers to destroy the evil gods that could be destroyed, and suppressed those that could not. As a result, many evil forces were reduced in the world, otherwise the world would be in chaos."
Ma Yingbei exclaimed, "I seem to have heard of this kind of ancient mythology from my grandfather before, but it was just stories about evil gods, rarely heard of. I never thought such a thing could actually exist."
Wen Chenxi frowned, "Wouldn't that be very difficult?"
Wen Xi said, "Don't worry for now. This evil god isn't very powerful. He's clearly been suppressed by the rules. He must have been sealed before and can't remain in the world for too long. Otherwise... he wouldn't have gone back in disgrace after being disturbed by me twice."
Wen Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."
Wen Xi said, "But we definitely don't have much time left. He must have devoured souls before, which has spawned a considerable amount of evil power. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to disturb so many people at once. If he breaks the seal, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
"So what are we going to do?"
Wen Chenxi has been in the Special Management Bureau for so many years, and has faced supernatural events, but this is the first time he has faced something like an evil god.
Wen Xi said, "What he needs is the incense and faith offered by others, so that more people will come here in an endless stream and eat his soul. What we need to do now is to destroy all of this."
"Destroy this temple, these halls?"
"That's it for now."
Wen Xi shook his head, his eyes dim, "I also hope that my guess is wrong."
"While we still have a signal, second brother, you should send a message to the Special Management Bureau first, and then we can cooperate with the outside forces."
Wen Xi commanded, "We haven't let the evil god have enough to eat and drink today. He must have set his sights on us. When I say sealed and restricted, I specifically mean during the day. At night... that's the world of evil spirits and demons. His restrictions will definitely be lifted. We must seal him again while protecting ordinary people from harm."
Ma Yingbei didn't understand. "I'm also confused. Aren't those people out of the room at night? Why do they suddenly appear during the day?"
Wen Xi said, "They were chanting in another temple at the time. The evil god's power is very strange and changeable. You can only see it when he wants you to. You can also interpret it as an illusion, or... a ghost covering your eyes. His power is at its peak at night, so I didn't use the power of the underworld last night. I just heard the chanting."
Xiao Shaoyan suddenly realized, "Then the chanting we heard at the place we went to yesterday was indeed their voices."
Wen Xi said, "Well, let's wait until nightfall. We will split up and leave the evil god to me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
During the day, all the pilgrims chant scriptures in the main hall. At noon and dinner time, Liuyun will let them out to eat something. After all, it is their food, so they have to be fattened before they can be slaughtered.
Just as Wen Xi said, at night the pilgrims did not return to their rooms to rest, and the incantatory chanting could still be heard near the side hall.
The night wind is blowing and the cold moon is hanging high in the sky.
Wen Chenxi and Ma Yingbei did not stay in the side room, but came to the side hall, where the sound of chanting was very obvious.
Just as they were about to go in, Liu Xing suddenly appeared and stopped them.
His face was grim and he was furious. "What's wrong with you? I told you not to come out at night, but you ignored me? This is not a place for you. Why don't you leave now?"
Wen Chenxi said bluntly, "I've always felt that there's something strange about your temple. Why are there only a few rooms occupied by people here, while no one else's has returned? You don't want to let us in to take a look, are you feeling guilty?"
