The melodious sound of the bell echoed in Lingwu Temple, startling the birds and causing them to spread their wings and leave the branches.

The pilgrims were confused and didn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, there were not many pilgrims in the afternoon, and monks soon came to arrange for the pilgrims to leave.

Yu Jin opened the door immediately.

The morning bell and evening drum, the ringing of bells at this time usually means that there is an emergency.

Soon Jiang Si and Jiang Zhan came out of their respective rooms.

The three of them stood under the corridor, looking out.

A monk walked over quickly, put his hands together and bowed eleven times when he came to the three people: "Amitabha, there is an emergency in the temple, and the donors should not move around for the time being."

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Master, what you said is a bit unreasonable. We are pilgrims. We come to your temple not to go to jail. Why should our freedom be restricted?"

The monk was startled.

Something happened in the temple, and he was ordered to come and warn the pilgrims staying there. How could he be so embarrassed to speak?

Although Lingwu Temple is small, it is well-known and popular. The monks would certainly not harm the reputation of the temple by creating evil spirits. After the initial confusion, he patiently explained, "Donors, you have misunderstood. I informed several donors of this because there is some chaos in the temple and I am afraid of offending them."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Zhan took the opportunity to ask, "I wonder what happened in your temple?"

The monk was startled again, and then he looked at the ages of the three people and suddenly understood.

Teenagers are very curious, so it is not surprising that they would ask such a question.

While the monk was hesitating, Jiang Zhan asked in surprise, "Is it not appropriate to tell outsiders?"

Monk: “…” You already know it, yet you’re still asking!

But since he had been asked this question, if he didn't say it, it would easily lead to people's wild speculation. And temples like theirs, which received the most female believers, were most reluctant to talk about this, so the monk said, "A fellow disciple passed away."

Jiang Si and Yu Jin looked at each other.

When she met his gaze, she quickly looked away, feeling annoyed: Could it be that her brother was too unreliable, and she only subconsciously wanted to see what he meant when something happened?

Jiang Zhan said, "Eh?" "Passed away? Master looks so young. Your junior fellow apprentice should be even younger than you, right? So he has achieved perfection at such a young age?"

The monk's mouth twitched, and he silently chanted Amitabha to dispel the urge to instantly transform into a fighting and victorious Buddha, and explained: "My junior brother died in an accident--"

"Accident? What accident?" Jiang Zhan looked frightened. "Your temple looks peaceful. Is there any danger? The masters should have warned us pilgrims earlier."

"Amitābha, you are worrying too much. There is no danger in the temple. My junior brother had an accident while fetching water—"

Jiang Zhan put away his exaggerated expression, was silent for a moment and asked: "I wonder what the master's Dharma name is?"

Although the monk was surprised, he still answered Jiang Zhan: "My disciple's Dharma name is Sikong."

Jiang Zhan took half a step back.

The monk finally got the chance to escape. He chanted Amitabha again and quickly walked to another row of guest rooms.

Jiang Zhan stood there blankly, and Yu Jin reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Jiang Zhan came back to his senses with a start, looked at the monk who was walking away, and said in a low voice: "Fourth sister, Seventh brother, do you know that the monk who was watering the ground in the back mountain at noon was called Sikong!"

"Second brother, do you suspect that the monk did not die in an accident?"

"Of course, it's such a coincidence!" Jiang Zhan frowned, "But there was nothing found at noon, how could he be dead?"

"It's not hard to guess. It means there was something in the well, and it was discovered by the monk after Jiang Erdi left. So -" Yu Jin smiled faintly, "they were silenced."

Jiang Zhan slapped his forehead in frustration: "If I had known, I would have persisted to the end."

Yu Jin smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid one more person will get into an accident."

Jiang Zhan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Brother Yu Qi, you are cursing me. If I really stay there, nothing will happen to me."

"Why?"

"Brother Yu Qi will definitely save me." Jiang Zhan said as a matter of course.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Yu Jin couldn't help but twist his expression at this moment.

After taking a look at the sky, Yu Jin asked Jiang Si in a solicitous tone, "It's getting late, let's leave."

"Wait——" Jiang Zhan held Yu Jin's arm, "We can't just leave like this!"

"Hmm?" Yu Jin stared at the hand on his arm, feeling a little unhappy.

How can you behave in front of Ah Si?

"Someone is dead, and there's a good chance that more than one person is dead!"

"so what?"

"So we're not going to find out the murderer?" Jiang Zhan was surprised when he saw that both of them looked uninterested.

Yu Jin said calmly, "We didn't kill him, and he is not related to us."

If you want to catch a murderer on someone else's territory, if the murderer is one of the monks, he can easily be instigated. Facing the monks in a temple, it will be difficult to find the murderer, let alone escape.

With Jiang Si around, Yu Jin absolutely did not want to do such a thankless task and put the three of them into trouble.

"But can we live with our conscience if we turn a blind eye to such a thing?" Jiang Zhan still refused to give up.

Another person died. Maybe as soon as he closes his eyes, two ghosts will come to chat with him.

Yu Jin looked at Jiang Zhan with amusement: "Conscience? I don't have one."

"Brother Yu Qi, you are actually such a person!" Jiang Zhan covered his chest with his hands, feeling heartbroken.

He thought it was a joke from Yu Jin, so he used an exaggerated tone.

Brother Yu Qi is a kind person. They have never met before and he saved him at that time.

He clearly has a sense of justice but he never shows it. Brother Yu Qi is truly a rare good man.

"Really, I didn't. My heart—" Yu Jin glanced at Jiang Si and said calmly, "It's lost."

Ginger seems to be lowering his eyes.

He didn't forget to tease her even at this time, that's enough!

"Second brother, let's go. I'm a little scared." Seeing pilgrims coming out of other guest rooms one after another, Jiang Si said softly.

Jiang Zhan held his forehead and said, "I am so confused. How could I forget that Fourth Sister is a girl. She will definitely be scared when encountering such a thing. Fourth Sister, it's all Second Brother's fault. Let's go now."

Forget it. If a ghost wants to chat with him, just let him chat. Maybe the two ghosts will get along well and he won’t have anything to do with it.

Ah Man, the little maid who had been working as a wood stake, looked at Jiang Zhan with sympathy.

The second young master is really naive. Will these girls be afraid? Haha.

When the monk heard that the guests were leaving, he was overjoyed and hurried to see them off.

The group hurried back to the inn. Outside the inn, many people had gathered under a big tree to enjoy the cool air and were discussing what had happened in Lingwu Temple.

"I heard that the monk accidentally slipped while fetching water and hit his head on the edge of the well, causing a bloody head injury. How pitiful!"

"Or maybe it's said that fate is determined by heaven..."

When the sun was about to set, Ah Man found an opportunity to quietly report: "Girl, Ah Fei sent a message through Lao Qin, saying that you asked him to first go to the home of Mr. Li in Dayang Town to inquire. His daughter came to Lingwu Temple to burn incense today and has not returned yet..."
