Feng Guang no longer harbored any illusions about Yu Kun's self-perception. She began to wander around the temple, seriously studying its origins.
Yu Kun followed behind her, seemingly hoping she would find something.
Finally, Feng Guang found the half-collapsed wall with words carved on it, but... she recognized the words, but she couldn't recognize these words.
Seeing her deep in thought while staring at the wall, Yu Kun joined in, saying, "Do you need my help?"
“These words…” Feng Guang didn’t say the words she didn’t recognize, but coughed again and said, “I want to test whether you can recognize them.”
"I gladly accept the beauty's test," Yu Kun said with a smile, then looked at the words on the wall and said, "This is the script that was widely used starting in the previous dynasty. Generally speaking, it is taught in schools. And what is recorded on it is just a biography of this female bodhisattva in the temple..."
Long ago, there lived a fisherman's family. They had a daughter. Ordinary people, especially with a girl, usually didn't need to give her a name. They would just call her something like Zhang San or Li Si. But this family was different. The fisherman had a daughter late in life and cherished her dearly. He didn't want other people to call his daughter "fisherman's daughter," but he wasn't very educated. So, he listened to the advice of a failed scholar and added three water radicals next to the character for "woman," turning it into the character "Ru."
The fisherwoman thus became Yu Ru, and the fisherman was very satisfied with this.
Yu Ru was very clever and kind-hearted from a young age. When she was thirteen, she was chosen by the people of Wuwangtian and taken back to embark on the path of cultivation. Yu Ru was very talented, and in just a few years of cultivation, she achieved what others had accomplished in more than ten years.
And then...
Yu Kun glanced at the broken stones on the ground and could only speculate, "Later, it seems that some kind of demon caused chaos and suffering. It was Yu Ru who stepped forward to subdue the demon, and she perished as a result."
To commemorate Yu Ru's merits, the people of Luori Village specially built a temple here.
After hearing the story, Feng Guang asked, puzzled, "Do you think this fish has anything to do with the flood in Sunset Village?"
"I don't know if there's a connection," Yu Kun smiled slightly at Feng Guang, "but we can investigate together."
Without thinking, Feng Guang said, "No."
Why?
“Because it’s too troublesome.” Feng Guang turned to leave the dilapidated temple. “What happens here is none of my business. My goal now is to hurry up and go to Wuwang Heaven to become a disciple and learn skills. I don’t want to waste my time on some trivial matters.”
"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. If this matter is resolved, all the villagers of Sunset Village will be saved. Just think how fulfilling that would be! My beauty, are you really willing to give up like this?"
"A sense of accomplishment is all superficial; going to Wuwangtian is much more practical." Feng Guang stopped in his tracks just as he reached the center of the dilapidated temple's front courtyard.
Yu Kun leaned closer and said, "Has the beauty changed her mind?"
"Shut up!" Feng Guang shouted.
Yu Kun immediately fell silent, feeling wronged.
Fengguang stomped his feet on the muddy ground, sniffed, and asked Yu Kun in a low voice, "Can you smell something?"
Yu Kun also whispered, "What does it taste like?"
"It smells like... fish."
