There was no use in thinking too much, so Si Jinyan could only follow.
Upon entering the temple, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge cauldron filled with incense sticks.
There are two incense burners on either side, surrounded by incense and candles.
These must have been requested by worshippers.
Right in the center is the main Buddha enshrined in this Jingci Temple, Maitreya Buddha.
The couplets on the left and right sides:
A generous heart can tolerate what the world finds intolerable, and a cheerful smile can laugh at what the world finds laughable.
On the side are two Bodhisattva statues.
Si Jinyan saw Xu Wei first bow to the Maitreya Buddha in the center, and then bow to the Bodhisattvas on the left and right.
Then they went around to another place to worship the five hundred Arhats.
After paying my respects, I went with Master Huijue to a meditation room.
Si Jinyan wasn't sure if Master Huijue could sense her presence, so she could only follow from a distance.
Even with her exceptional senses, she couldn't eavesdrop from a great distance.
"Let's go all out!"
The truth was right before her eyes; how could she resist listening?
So Si Jinyan crouched stealthily under the window of the meditation room. If he was discovered, he could simply use a teleportation talisman to leave, even though this place was quite far from the capital.
The range of the teleportation talisman is related to the user's magical power; the maximum range she can move is no more than a hundred miles in diameter.
Therefore, she can indeed come and go freely within the capital city.
If it were possible to travel from the southernmost to the northernmost part of China, it would likely require an immense amount of power.
That level of cultivation is probably only attainable by gods.
"You look unusual. Is something the matter?"
"That's what the monk named Huijue asked."
“She knows about her past, and I’m worried she might cause trouble.”
Xu Wei's tone was somewhat anxious.
"Huh? How did she know?"
Huijue's voice rose at the end, and this monk seemed like a wicked monk. When he was alone with Xu Wei, his expression became somewhat frivolous and casual.
“Last night I went to her room, and I was acting out of control. I answered whatever she asked me.”
Xu Wei said with some annoyance.
"You didn't put on the bracelet?"
Huijue simply asked a question.
"I always take them off when I shower, could it be? No wonder!"
Xu Wei wasn't stupid; she realized it immediately.
"It should be a Taoist talisman. Its insight, reaction speed, and cultivation ability are all quite good. As expected of someone with an extremely Yin body, it is indeed intelligent!"
Huijue wasn't annoyed at all; it seemed that the stronger Si Jinyan was, the more excited he became.
Si Jinyan became even more curious about what the monk wanted to do.
She continued to listen intently, holding her breath.
"So what do we do now?"
"I can't let Jiang Feng know that I'm not..."
Xu Wei was about to say the most crucial point when Huijue interrupted her.
His gaze drifted to Si Jinyan, who was crouching under the window.
"Madam, rest assured, the bet between Jiang Chumian and me will soon be settled. That child is just a stake in the bet."
bet?
Who is this bet referring to?
Si Jinyan was somewhat incredulous when he heard his master's name.
Did her master know this monk?
“I know you fabricated her jinx identity, but now she's acting strangely, and I'm worried…”
Xu Wei didn't quite understand Huijue's meaning; what she was worried about now was whether her identity would be discovered.
Seeing her furrowed brows and anxious, he spoke urgently.
Huijue was somewhat displeased, but he held back.
"She is of the most Yin constitution, the source of all evil in the world. You actually think I made that up? That's just a woman's view."
Huijue snorted coldly. What was Xu Wei saying?
"What? Will she really bring misfortune to the Jiang family?"
This jinx is currently in the Jiang family's home. "Then, Master, were all those things you said back then true?"
After Xu Wei realized what was happening, she looked at Hui Jue with a somewhat frightened expression.
“Of course it’s true; monks never lie.”
Huijue answered truthfully.
Hearing this, how could Si Jinyan not understand?
The bet was about her.
In an instant, his heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy abyss.
But reason quickly pulled her back.
How could she doubt her master because of a few words from outsiders, and waste her cultivation to pull her back from the brink of death?
He taught her traditional Chinese medicine, physiognomy, and divination, making her a master of metaphysics.
How could she doubt her master based on just a few words from a bad person?
She needs to calm down.
Calm your mind and guard your spirit.
Huijue, who was inside the room, was quite astonished to see that the aura outside did not fluctuate much.
A body of extreme Yin, the source of evil, with a restless and impetuous nature, fond of killing, inherently suspicious, cunning, and arrogant.
Extreme negative emotions can be manifested in her.
But why is she so calm?
Huijue was originally looking forward to watching the show, wondering if he could get Si Jinyan to release the source of all evil within him ahead of time.
I didn't expect her to suppress it so quickly.
"Madam Jiang, please return."
Huijue didn't intend to discuss useless things with Xu Wei any longer; he wanted to meet Si Jinyan.
The fate he analyzed could not be wrong.
He absolutely cannot lose the bet he made with Jiang Chumian.
Xu Wei wanted to say something, but after seeing Hui Jue's sinister eyes, she swallowed her words.
The monk wasn't as kind as he seemed, so she had to think of another way to deal with Si Jinyan's situation.
