Lechen seemed to have guessed what Jiang Jingyu wanted to say and quickly interrupted her.
"Yes, female Bodhisattva, even though it's hot now, the water in the lake is very cold! Female Bodhisattva, quickly follow Senior Brother Chen to change clothes!"
The little monk took Lechen and Jiang Jingyu, one in each hand, and dragged them back to the pavilion.
What happened last night had already tormented Lechen's heart, and now this happened again today. Lechen didn't know how to face Jiang Jingyu.
He slept on the bed that night, and he didn't move at all even when Jiang Jingyu pretended to be haunted by a nightmare.
Early the next morning, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu rushed to the Fo'an Temple again. In order to speed up their journey, they asked their guards to ride on horseback, which was much faster than a carriage.
This time, when the two arrived at the Fo'an Temple, they did not cry out in disbelief. Instead, they looked at the monks anxiously and asked them to call Lechen out, as they had something urgent to see him about.
This time, the senior brothers in the temple did not send the little monk directly to Luoxia Peak to inform Chen, but came to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.
"If you two have anything to say, please tell me and I will pass it on to you."
"This matter concerns my son's life, we must tell him in person!"
Mrs. Gu looked anxious and glared at the monk in front of her as she spoke.
The monks looked at each other and were displeased with Madam Gu's tough attitude.
One of the older monks said in a deep voice, "I can convey your words to Junior Brother Chen, but if he doesn't want to see you, no one can force him."
"Master, please, please tell him that this matter concerns his life and he will definitely come to see us!"
Mr. Gu bowed to the monk. On the way here, he and his wife had already thought of the words to deceive Chen.
Upon hearing this, the monk glanced at the young monk next to him. The young monk gestured and quickly ran to Luoxia Peak to convey the matter.
Last time, Master Gu and Madam Gu had caused such a commotion at the Fo'an Temple that the monks and many pilgrims there remembered them. Seeing them coming to the temple again today, they subconsciously gathered around them.
I want to see what trouble these two will cause today!
As Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were anxiously waiting, Lechen's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
The monk conveyed the words of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu to Lechen truthfully. Lechen did not hesitate and followed the monk directly to the temple.
He knew that this day would come sooner or later. Since they didn't care about blood ties and killed him, it was time to put an end to everything between them.
When Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu saw Chen, they immediately rushed towards him.
"Son! You're finally here!"
Just as Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were about to pounce on Lechen, two monks stepped forward and blocked their way.
"Donor, please speak nicely."
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu suddenly stopped in their tracks. Mrs. Gu looked at the two monks standing in front of her with displeasure.
"What do you mean? Are you going to stop me from looking for my own flesh and blood?!"
"Madam, please be quiet! You are the guest and the host is the host. Show some respect!"
Mr. Gu tugged at Madam Gu's sleeve and scolded her harshly, then looked at the two monks in front of him with a flattering expression.
"Please forgive me, my wife is also very anxious to see our son. I hope you two can allow us to have a few words with the child. My wife and I will be very grateful."
Although Mr. Gu was blaming Mrs. Gu, his words were implicitly referring to the two monks standing in front of him.
Guests are welcome, and we should treat them as guests. What's the point of standing in front of them?
"You may speak, but please do not be impulsive. If anything were to happen to Senior Brother Liaochen, we would not be able to explain to our Master."
The two monks were quick-witted and brought out their master, Master Jingkong.
The master is highly respected and even the current emperor gives him some face. I think after bringing up the master, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu won't dare to act too rashly again.
"Yes, yes, Master is right! We won't act impulsively!"
Master Gu quickly agreed, and the two monks then bowed and stepped aside, waiting to attack Chen from both sides.
"Why did you come to see me?"
Liaochen had a cold expression on his face and treated Mr. and Mrs. Gu like strangers, even colder than strangers.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu no longer cared about Chen's attitude towards them. The most urgent thing now was to take him away from Fo'an Temple as soon as possible!
Mr. Gu adjusted his mood and said the words he had thought of on the way.
"My child, seeing that you are living well in Fo'an Temple, I didn't want to disturb you. But ever since you left that day, I have been worried and restless all day. I really had no choice but to ask the Taoist priest for a fortune-teller."
"This divination is incredible! Someone has put a curse on our Gu family! Everyone in the Gu family will be afflicted by this curse. They will have an aversion to water and will fall into the water if they get close to it, eventually drowning!"
Mr. Gu spoke with great confidence, and his face was filled with indignation when he mentioned the curse. After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen with a worried look on his face.
"As a descendant of the Gu family, you are also afflicted by this curse. Tell me the truth, have you fallen into the water in the past two days?"
Mr. Gu looked straight at Lechen, waiting for his reply.
Monks do not tell lies. If it is true as Taoist Qingshan said, then this evil creature must have fallen into the water!
The pilgrims sighed after hearing Master Gu's words. "Is there such a curse?"
However, considering that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu lied when they came to the temple a few days ago, everyone did not believe what he said today and waited for Lechen to expose their lies.
