Ma Yingbei said, "Master, did you find any clues yesterday?"
Wen Xi simply walked over, dragged Ma Yingbei out, and then pulled Xiao Shaoyan to Wen Chenxi's room.
After closing the door, he said, "It's a good thing you guys got back in time yesterday. After all, we alerted the enemy. They will definitely be on guard against us."
Wen Chenxi said, "Last night, you were indeed discovered. We heard the noise of someone searching, so we hurried back and almost ran into the people from the temple."
Wen Xi said, "Yes, Xiao Shaoyan and I found the main hall and saw someone who looked like Master Liuyun. However, compared to Master Liuyun, I think the Buddha statue in the main hall is even stranger."
Wen Chenxi was stunned. "Buddha statue?"
"right!"
Xiao Shaoyan recounted what happened last night, including the ghost thing he saw, which gave Ma Yingbei goosebumps.
Wen Chenxi frowned and said, "But Ma Yingbei and I have been searching all the way here, passing by many temples, but we haven't heard the sound of people chanting as you said. Our side can be said to be... silent."
"Is it so magical?"
Xiao Shaoyan looked at them with some envy. If he had known earlier, he would have taken that route. At least he could have a good sleep.
Boom boom boom!
They were about to say something when there was a knock on Wen Xi's door.
"Could you please get up, my guests? Our vegetarian meal is ready. You can all come and eat together."
An unknown voice came from the opposite side.
Everyone fell silent, and Xiao Shaoyan subconsciously held his breath.
Wen Xi, however, opened the door openly, met Wuming's surprised gaze, and smiled, "Master Wuming, we are in my brother's room, helping him clean up and prepare. He's not very comfortable. He lost his balance when going to the toilet today and fell. Luckily, we live nearby and heard the noise and came to take care of him in time. Otherwise... it would not be good if he got shit on himself."
Wuming was originally wondering how they all squeezed into Wen Chenxi's room, but when he heard Wen Xi's explanation, his expression frowned, which was very vivid.
He twitched the corners of his lips and clasped his hands together. "Amitabha, it's normal for someone seriously ill to be unable to take care of themselves. I'm here to call everyone to have breakfast. Afterwards, Master Liuyun will invite you."
Wen Xi's eyes lit up, and the smile on the corners of his lips deepened. "Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it."
"Oh, by the way, my brother's shit hasn't been completely cleaned up yet. Master Wuming, do you want to join us?"
Seeing that he was still standing there, Wen Xi couldn't help but ask in an innocent manner.
Wuming panicked for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm still very busy. The snow at the door needs to be cleared. I'll go now. Everyone, please remember to go to the main hall after dinner."
When Wuming heard that he was going to make a mess, he refused to do it. He quickly said something and ran away as fast as he could.
Seeing Wen Xi return, Ma Yingbei gave her a thumbs up and said, "Master is amazing. You sent someone away with just a few words."
Xiao Shaoyan had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and laughed happily, "Hahahaha, making shit? Not bad, not bad, this excuse is really good, too perfect."
Wen Chenxi's face was gloomy, and the cold light in the corner of his eyes could have turned him into a sieve.
Xiao Shaoyan felt the cold gaze and suppressed the smile on his lips. He touched his nose and said innocently, "I didn't say that."
"Let's go and have a vegetarian meal."
Wen Xi greeted them, "I still want to eat well and meet the host Liuyun."
She was the first to walk out of the room, and then she saw another horrifying scene.
The rooms that were empty last night gradually opened their doors and pilgrims came out one after another.
Ma Yingbei rubbed his eyes and asked, "Was I blind last night, or was my eyes blurry?"
Wen Xi frowned, "Did you hear the door closing last night?"
Wen Chenxi said coldly, "No! And when we came back, I took a special look and indeed, I didn't see anyone in the room."
Ma Yingbei exclaimed, "What a miracle!"
As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and suddenly he saw a familiar person. The smile on his lips froze, and he cried out in surprise, "Mom! Damn, I finally found you."
A woman just walked out of the wing room. She walked forward with a dull look in her eyes, but before she took two steps, she was grabbed by Ma Yingbei.
Ma Yingbei looked her up and down, and when he saw that she had no injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Mom, how are you? Are you okay? Did you get hurt? How did you get out of there? When we came here last night, we didn't even see you enter the room?"
Fan Wenyan's eyes were dull and lifeless as she stared blankly at the road ahead. After being stopped by Ma Yingbei, she slowly bumped into him, as if trying to knock away the obstacle.
"Mom? What's wrong with you? Can you hear me?"
Finally realizing that something was wrong with Fan Wenyan, Ma Yingbei's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand to hold her shoulders and continued questioning.
Wen Xi pulled him away with one hand and let Fan Wenyan pass by them and walk towards the cafeteria.
"Mom!"
Ma Yingbei was feeling uneasy and wanted to catch up, but Wen Xi twisted his arm hard.
"Ma Yingbei, don't forget your identity. She's not your mother now. Have some sense of public morality in your role-playing. Don't let yourself down here. It's not just your mother who needs to be rescued. There are so many people out there."
Wen Xi shook his head at him and said soothingly, "At least we know that they haven't suffered any physical damage so far. The most serious... is the damage to their minds."
Ma Yingbei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Master, I understand. I will try my best to be patient."
That was his mother. He finally found her, but he had a vague feeling of unease, as if... that was not his mother, but... something else.
When Wen Chenxi and Xiao Shaoyan saw this scene, their expressions became more serious.
"This method is unheard of and unseen. It's like they've been put under a puppet spell, completely losing their consciousness."
Someone came out from next door. Wen Chenxi bravely waved in front of him, but the other person continued walking forward without even looking at him.
"If you stay here for a long time, the same effect will occur."
Wen Xi said rudely, "Now, let's go eat vegetarian food first. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Let's go."
They followed the crowd to the cafeteria of Wuyuan Temple, watched them eat and chew like robots, then followed them out of the cafeteria and walked towards the main hall in unison.
