"Okay, let's try this and see just how delicious it is."
When they arrived, they found that there were too many people eating at the temple, and they finally managed to find two empty seats.
Yes, it's just empty seats. The 1888 set meal doesn't mean they'll cook you a whole table of dishes; it's just a ticket for the meal. In other words, 1888 means four dishes and a soup, while 2888 means three dishes and a soup, only the dishes are more refined. To put it bluntly, it's just a communal meal!
It looks like an ordinary communal meal, but so many people are eating it. Isn't that infuriating?
After Jiao Qi and Mo Yan returned, they found a place to sit down, and opposite them was a mother and daughter.
"Let me tell you, we're going to get a love charm in a bit. You'll definitely get married this year. Look at you, you're already 30. What will you do if you don't get married now?"
The girl was getting annoyed. "Mom, can you please stop talking? I already promised to come, but you keep going on and on. What do you want?"
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about it. Let's eat. Food is expensive at this time of year."
Mo Yan and the others watched as the girl's face suddenly turned rosy after she finished eating.
She initially refused to eat, but eventually finished the whole box.
"Mom, you're right. I really should go on blind dates, otherwise I won't be able to get married in the future, and who will take care of me in my old age?"
Jiao Qi: "!!!" Can a person change so much before and after?
Mo Yan looked at the food, which, like the purse, seemed to carry something that could subconsciously make people believe in certain things. For example, this mother desperately wanted her daughter to go on a blind date, and sure enough, the daughter believed it as soon as she ate. Naturally, she would think the God of Love was incredibly effective, and then she would go and ask for more talismans.
Some people brought their children along; the children didn't like studying, but after eating the food here, they started to enjoy studying more and more.
They're willing to pay any price for the food here.
"Mom..." Jiao Qi saw what looked like shiny powder in his food, but he couldn't recognize what it was.
"Let's eat."
With a wave of her hand, Mo Yan's glittering powder disappeared. Jiao Qi, seeing this, thought his mother was truly amazing.
After they finished their meal, they went to the main hall of the Yue Lao Temple. The statue of Yue Lao on the hall looked incredibly gleaming, but beneath that gleaming surface lay countless resentments.
Those so-called talismans and purses, while granting people's wishes, also harm another person. Even if they don't say it on the surface, they will feel resentment, sadness, and heartache in their hearts.
That's why the statue of the Matchmaker has gathered so much resentment.
Originally, the God of Marriage was a symbol of people's good wishes and blessings for marriage and relationships, but now he has become like this.
The statue of the Old Man of the Moon was surrounded by resentment, as if it were chained up. If it weren't for the golden light, the statue would have been clearly dilapidated.
Mo Yan discovered that there was no Old Man of the Moon among the statues. It was normal that the spiritual energy in this world was depleted and that no deities could be sensed.
Even though the Matchmaker had been turned into this, Mo Yan was still very angry.
They also bought sachets and lucky charms for finding love before leaving the Temple of the Matchmaker.
"Mom, why don't we take action now? So many people have been deceived and hurt."
"Why don't you call the police now?" Mo Yan looked at him with a smile.
"With so many people, even if I call the police, I wouldn't know which one to arrest."
"It's because there are so many people here. In their hearts, this matchmaking temple is very powerful. If someone tries to sabotage it, what do you think the consequences will be? But we're not without options."
Mo Yan walked to a guzheng shop across the street. "Boss, I want that guzheng. May I try it out?"
boss:"?"
"Of course." The boss nodded immediately. Why not if there's business to be had?
Mo Yan sat down and began to play the guzheng.
The melody, though without lyrics, warms the heart.
Mo Yan played very quickly, and Jiao Qi watched as the melodies transformed into symbols that traveled to the Matchmaker Temple across the street. The symbols eventually surrounded the Matchmaker Temple.
Much later, he saw the mother and daughter. The girl was holding a peach blossom charm in her hand, frowning and looking puzzled. "Mom, you always say that ordering takeout is expensive. Why did you spend five or six thousand on something like this today?"
Jiao Qi saw that the powder on the symbols was being absorbed by the musical notes.
"I heard it's very effective, but it doesn't seem that great now. Should I try the most expensive one?"
"Forget it, let's just get out of here."
Jiao Qi walked over and stopped the mother and daughter. "Auntie, do you remember me? We were sitting across from you before. May I ask where you heard that this matchmaking temple is very effective?"
Jiao Qi checked and found that the Yue Lao Temple has been very effective this month, starting a month ago. At the beginning, very few people knew about it.
But a month ago, it suddenly seemed to spread like wildfire.
"I learned about it while we were doing square dancing. We went to the supermarket to pick up eggs, and that's when we heard about it. Later, a lot of people went and found that it really worked."
The timing was perfect, a month ago. The hospital had just been shut down, and this place appeared immediately.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome."
Jiao Qi returned to Mo Yan's side and discovered that the resentment from the Yue Lao Temple was rushing towards Mo Yan. Mo Yan continued to play her instrument to suppress it.
The shop owner watched this scene in shock and brought out another guzheng from the house.
"Madam, please use this."
Mo Yan looked over and discovered that it was an ancient zither imbued with spiritual energy, perfect for suppressing the evil spirits.
She quickly switched and continued playing. The resentment that wanted to burst out was suppressed by Mo Yan time and time again, and some of the resentment even disappeared without a trace.
When the song ended, the Temple of the Matchmaker was sealed away. Now it is just an ordinary Temple of the Matchmaker, but only temporarily.
The things in the Temple of the Matchmaker were waiting for nightfall, just like Mo Yan.
"Madam, are you a practitioner of spiritual cultivation?"
The boss looked at Mo Yan in shock. He had been guarding this place for decades, and finally, he had found someone who would let him leave.
"No, boss, what about you?"
"No, I'm just a one-man guzheng seller. My family has been protecting this place for generations, so I know and can see some things."
Although the things inside cannot harm me, they prevent me from leaving this place, just like this guzheng.
A demon is suppressed beneath this temple of the Old Man Under the Moon. At first, people's wishes became his bondage, preventing him from leaving. However, more than ten years ago, he began to try to escape, bewitching people's hearts with his aura and collecting resentment. I had no choice but to take out the guzheng. I never expected that he would also meddle with the temple of the Old Man Under the Moon.
I cried for help time and time again, and the government sent people to seal it off, but the seal was broken again and then sealed off again. But since a year ago, I haven't been able to get out or make any phone calls..."
The demon's abilities are growing stronger; it's even preventing him from making phone calls or delivering messages. "Lately, no one has been able to get into my place."
