Chapter 114 Chapter 114 (Three in One) Bai Qingqing: You...
"Just now in the illusion, Bai Qingqing threw something into the water. Do you know what it was?" Jiang Muning remembered what Zan Fang had asked her before.
Bai Qingqing didn't know whether she was deliberately on guard against them or for some other reason, so she refused to say it at the time, but she heard it when Zan Fang asked.
〖Just now it was God’s illusion, a complete little world in itself, not in the database of the Lord God, I have no signal in it... But I will give it a try, Ning Bao, please wait!〗
Several people ran to the outside of the hotel on the first floor. The streets were busy at night, with noisy crowds coming and going, blocking the three people from moving forward.
Bao Zishi pulled Jiang Mu Ning to prevent her from being hit by passers-by: "Be careful."
A passerby holding a box of stinky tofu was also startled, and quickly moved the stinky tofu away, leaning aside to apologize: "Beauty, I'm sorry."
Jiang Muning smiled and shook her head. After the passersby left, she thanked Bao Zishi who helped her: "Thank you, Mr. Bao."
"It's just a piece of cake." Bao Zishi smiled, then looked towards the distant Jinghui Pond and led his hand forward: "Let's go quickly, we won't be able to help if we're late."
Chen Ruihao tiptoed forward and pointed at a figure in the crowd and said, "Hey! I think I saw Pu Yueling!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and ran in front, blending into the crowd to chase Pu Yueling. Bao Zishi and Jiang Muning smiled and nodded, then stepped forward.
In front of the hotel, passers-by turned their heads, looked at her face and stared at her, without saying anything, and naturally withdrew their gazes as they walked away, as if it was just an ordinary passing by.
Jiang Muning frowned slightly, looking at the passers-by and Bao Zishi's tall and straight figure walking away, feeling a little weird in his heart.
He only stopped there to think for a brief moment, and the two people in front of him had already walked away one after the other. Jiang Muning stopped thinking and chased after them through the crowd.
The moment you lift your foot.
A grand and bright firework suddenly exploded in the dark night sky in the direction of Jinghui Pond, and the sound of "bang" illuminated half the sky.
The smell of gunpowder and smoke filled the air. Passers-by stopped and looked up, pointing excitedly at the sky: "Fireworks are being set off at Jinghuichi!"
"Let's go and take a look."
"It was quite lively in the evening. I remember there were performances."
"There are fireworks at every lotus festival. This year, our Baotong is rich and can even afford to set off big fireworks, haha."
Jiang Muning heard the conversations of the passers-by along the way, and many of them changed direction and headed towards Jinghui Pond.
Jiang Muning's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously as he was worried. He asked in his mind, "101, what was thrown away hasn't been found out yet?"
"There should be quite a few people gathered at Jinghui Pond by now. Are Bai Qingqing and the others really there?"
The illusion appeared there, and Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang would definitely go there to check it out after they woke up.
But if they meet the evil god or Wushang, they will most likely have to fight. Would those two not avoid the crowd?
They were already one step behind when they went out, and the crowds on the road made it difficult for them to walk fast. When they finally arrived, they had no idea whether Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang were still there.
[They were at Jinghui Pond, and had just walked around the entire lotus pond and both the old and new gardens, and were now heading towards Chen Yu's former residence.]
〖I know what Bai Qingqing threw in the illusion! It was a Buddha statue!〗
“It’s a Buddha head.”
Bai Qingqing glanced at Zan Fang and smiled, stepped on the railing of the white stone lotus for leverage, grabbed the door lintel with both hands, bent her body backwards, and lightly jumped over the blockade of Old Shen Yu's former residence.
He landed, turned around, and stood in front of Zan Mian across a person-high wooden fence.
The huge fireworks rose into the sky like a backward comet, exploding with a dazzling light above their heads, and reflecting a pool of stars in her dark pupils.
"You threw it away..." Zan Fang opened his thin lips slightly.
Bai Qingqing interrupted him with her eyes and tilted her head towards her, obviously asking him to do the same and get in through the gap above the fence.
Zan Fang was interrupted by her while asking questions, but he had to ask first.
He recalled Bai Qingqing's flat tone when she spoke just now. Her voice was a little unclear due to the popping sound of fireworks, but it was enough to stir up a storm in his heart.
He immediately calmed down and asked again, "Buddha head?"
The wooden Buddha statue that was enshrined in the former residence?
What does she mean?
"Look at these fireworks. Do they look like the stars in the sky in a fantasy world?"
Fireworks exploded overhead one after another. Bai Qingqing stood under the covered bridge and took a step toward the lotus pond, just in time to see the fireworks rising into the sky.
"There are so many people gathered here today, how many do you think will die?"
Bai Qingqing asked two questions in succession, which made Zan Fang's already serious expression even more solemn. She walked forward slowly, pinched the black iron chain that was nearly as thick as her wrist, and with a force of both hands, she broke the door lock and opened the fence-like single door.
He didn't dare to imagine the scene of the pool full of heads in the illusion.
At this moment, he closed his eyes briefly to adjust his mood, then opened his eyes again, stood at the bottom of the stairs, and tilted his head slightly to face Bai Qingqing: "Let's go up and take a look first."
Bai Qingqing saw that the Taoist priest had a serious expression on his face, and thought that he was probably imagining something incredible in his mind. She smiled, turned around and walked up the stairs.
Zan Fang followed her closely and took out the compass. He untied the red rope in the center of the compass and wrapped it around his fingers. He held his breath, chanted some incantations, and felt the atmosphere around the former residence, trying to find some clues.
There was no light on the second floor.
The light from the fireworks could not shine into the house. Only a faint light came in through the window, outlining the contours of everything in the house.
The layout of the room is indeed the same as the one-to-one restoration of Shen Yu's former residence in Xinchi, but the atmosphere is more ancient. Maybe there are no tourists visiting the scenic area, and the cleaning is not done well, so there is a light layer of dust on the table.
Zan Fang had good eyesight. As soon as he entered the house, he followed his memory of the day, walked through the living room of the former residence, and went around to a long table on the side of the bedroom. He saw a wooden sculpture and two incense candles on the table.
The light in the room was dim, and he had to look closely to see the wooden statue clearly. It was facing the Buddha's compassionate eyes.
The compass in his hand did not move. Zan Fang calmed down and said to Bai Qingqing who followed him, "I didn't sense any evil spirits. Do you think... there is something wrong with this Buddha statue?"
"Well, I guessed in my illusion that there was something wrong with this Buddha statue, so I tried it out, and it turned out to be the case." Bai Qingqing walked past him, stood in front of the long table, stretched out her index finger and touched the head of the wooden statue.
Zan Fang put away the compass and walked forward to examine the Buddha statue carefully, but still couldn't sense anything wrong: "You just threw him into the water to test it?"
"Not all of it was thrown away, only the head." Her fingertips ran across the entire body of the wooden statue, then moved up to the neck of the Buddha, hovering there.
"You smashed the Buddha statue!?"
Zan Fang was startled again by her calm tone. His emotions, which had just calmed down, began to surge again. He found it difficult to accept Bai Qingqing's shocking behavior.
We are all from the Xuanmen sect, and Bai Qingqing's behavior is really disrespectful.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing's movements were not good, he hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do now?"
"The illusion was created by the scenery of Jinghui Pond. We went to so many places during the day, especially to Cihe Temple at noon, and saw with our own eyes the thirteen Buddha statues handed down from the past. But has Taoist Zan ever thought about why the illusion appeared here?"
"You should have noticed that there is no evil energy here." Bai Qingqing withdrew her hand, looked out the window, and pushed the old window open, as if she were in a fantasy.
Huge fireworks exploded right in front of the window.
The smell of dust filled the air, and the sound of water splashing in the lotus pond, pushed by the wind, reached the sky.
"This old house where hundreds of lives were lost is next to such a large lotus pond, but there is no evil at all. Taoist Zan, don't you find it strange?"
Bai Qingqing dusted off the dust on her palms, and with the light coming in from the window, she found a lighter by the windowsill and lit the incense sticks on both sides of the Buddha statue one by one.
The appearance of the Buddha statue became clear in an instant.
She put down the lighter, took a step back, put her hands together in front of her chest, and bowed piously: "What do you think? Is it possible that this Buddha appeared to protect this Jinghui Pond from being disturbed by evil spirits?"
Zan Fang was silent for a moment.
He had also noticed the situation that Bai Qingqing described, and he also felt that something was wrong, but now the lights were bright and the wooden Buddha statue was clearly illuminated by the firelight, so it looked normal no matter how you looked at it.
"So in this situation, everyone would want to try to see if there is anything wrong with the Buddha statue."
Bai Qingqing smiled with her eyes curved. Compared to her usual quiet and impatient self, she showed rare patience today and explained everything to him in detail, sentence by sentence.
She released her hands that were clasped in respect before her chest and continued with a smile, "So I smashed the Buddha statue, and when I saw that the illusion did not change, I threw his head into the water."
"The Buddha is compassionate and treats all living beings equally. We are all leaders, so we cannot favor one over another."
Zan Fang: “…”
Although Zan Fang did not see the entire process of Bai Qingqing smashing the Buddha statue and then throwing the Buddha head, but listening to her current words, he could still picture in his mind what she looked like when she took action before.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It was a fantasy before, but now it is reality.
Zan Fang: "Chen Yu's former residence was renovated twice by later generations. I think the Feng Shui here was adjusted by a senior master, so it's normal that there is no evil spirit. This Buddha statue should have been placed here for a hundred years. It may be as old as the big Buddhas we saw in Cihe Temple during the day. It has been worshipped for many years. What you are doing... is really disrespectful."
Bai Qingqing nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I think so too."
"So, tell me, if I smash it again, will this guy be so angry that he will come out and hit me?"
Zan Fang was stunned and almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Bai Qingqing stared at the Buddha statue carefully, then looked around the old house. Her expression was serious and didn't seem fake.
The room became inexplicably quiet, as if the noise outside could not be heard inside. It was so quiet that Zan could only hear his own and Bai Qingqing's breathing.
She seemed to be waiting for something. After a few breaths, she sighed slightly and reached out to the Buddha statue.
Zan Fang's face froze in astonishment. He had not expected Bai Qingqing to do what she said. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her from stretching it forward: "This Buddha statue is a Vimalakirti statue. Although you are not a Buddhist, you should still have the proper respect for it."
As he spoke, Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "Vidhya Chana? Who is this? Why have I never heard of him?"
"This is……"
"Master Zan, please think about it carefully. Who exactly is Vaidochana? I have only heard of Vaidochana, the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha. When did a Vaidochana Buddha with four hands and four eyes appear?"
Zan Fang perked up, but he was speechless as he looked into Bai Qingqing's calm eyes.
Suddenly I felt a chill on my back, my memory seemed to become blinding with my sight, and the sound of water splashing in the lotus pond became clear in my ears.
"Yes..." He opened his mouth to explain, but couldn't come up with the next words.
The empty memory left him speechless.
Bai Qingqing smiled at him. She did not struggle to free her slender wrist from his grasp. Instead, she slightly turned sideways and patted his shoulder with her other hand: "Master Zan, wake up."
The palm filled with spiritual energy poured a warm current into his body, and the breath that was stagnant in Zan Fangdun's chest began to flow again. His eyes blurred and his vision suddenly darkened.
He still held Bai Qingqing's wrist in his palm and stood opposite her.
Fireworks popped outside the wide-open window.
The room was pitch dark.
Zan Fang suddenly turned his head and looked at the long table. The red candles on both sides of the Buddha statue were still new, and the cotton threads were white, and they had never been lit.
His heart was beating violently in his chest, and the sound echoed in his ears, no louder than the fireworks outside.
Through a thin layer of cloth, he could feel the warmth and slight pulse of Bai Qingqing's wrist in his palm.
Zan Fang slowly loosened his grip, his eyes becoming defensive: "Just now..."
"Master Zan fell into an illusion just now. How is it? It's the second time. Have you learned anything from your experience?" Bai Qingqing retracted her wrist and pinched the place where he had grabbed her. She walked to the Buddha statue, stretched out her index finger, and lightly touched the face of the wooden Buddha statue with her fingertips.
The movements were exactly the same as those he had seen before.
Zan Fang closed his eyes and mobilized all his mental alertness, trying to discern the clues from it.
What happened just now was an illusion, but he had no idea when he entered it, and whether his current clarity was real.
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Qingqing's fingertips had already traveled all over the Buddha statue and returned to the Buddha statue's neck, hanging: "There is something wrong with this Buddha statue."
Zan Fang looked at her movements without responding. He folded his hands flat in front of his abdomen, making the Taiqing Guanxin Seal, and silently chanted with his lips slightly opened: "Always be clear and calm, respond to the mindless, Taishangtaixing, the soul is at peace..."
As he closed his eyes he heard a soft laugh.
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Qingqing had taken back the hand that was lighting the Buddha statue. She put one hand behind her back and used the other hand to light the incense and candles. The soft flames ignited, and she looked at him with clear eyes: "You are awake now, Taoist Zan."
Zan Fang's heart was beating fast, and he was afraid that no matter what was behind this, it might be difficult to fight against it with his ability.
He couldn't even tell whether it was an illusion or not, let alone fight against the mastermind behind it.
Just as they were feeling frightened, the voices on the other side of the lotus pond suddenly became louder. Under the bright lights on the opposite street, pedestrians and tourists suddenly stopped opposite them, pointing in their direction and whispering to each other.
He had some skills and could hear the conversation clearly.
"There are people on the other side."
"Isn't that Shen Yu's former residence? Why is there someone inside at this hour?"
"Don't you know that the Jinghui Pool will be open all night tonight?"
"Silly! That's the old residence of Shen Yu, no tourists allowed!"
"Oh my god, I saw two people in there, two young people, a man and a woman, they must be tourists."
"Young couples nowadays are so uncultured... How did they get in? Let's go and tell the administrator..."
Zan Fang's expression became complicated as he looked at the candle that Bai Qingqing had unreservedly lit in the dark, illuminating the two of their figures extremely clearly.
All the passers-by and well-mannered tourists were coming to catch them, and for a moment he actually felt a sense of reality in this absurd scene.
It seems so realistic now.
"They are coming over. Let's leave first." Zan Fang said, looking at the wooden Buddha statue standing still between two burning red candles. "If you think there is something wrong with this Buddha statue, let's... take it away first."
He spoke the last few words quietly.
It's like being a thief, afraid of being discovered.
Bai Qingqing smiled at Zan Fang's cautious look, picked up the Buddha statue with one hand, looked at it for a few seconds, then took another step forward, stood by the window, and threw it without warning.
“——Bang.”
"Bai Qingqing!"
Zan Fang ran to the window and watched her throw the Buddha statue into the pool without hesitation. A few seconds later, there was a loud sound of it entering the water.
The crowd on the other side of the river cheered even louder. Many passers-by saw clearly that she threw something into the water. Someone on the other side of the river had been recording the video. When they zoomed in on the video, they saw clearly that what she threw was a Buddha statue.
It is impossible for a tourist to just take a Buddha statue, put it in her bag, and bring it to Chen Yu’s former residence to throw it away. So the statue she threw away must have been the Buddha statue enshrined in Chen Yu’s former residence!
Some enthusiastic citizens who had nothing to do with the matter became excited and angry. They asked them to stop at a distance of dozens of meters. A few male comrades led by them ran forward to catch them in the act.
Zan Fang took a step back and immediately tried to close the window to block the sight of the people opposite. He said to Bai Qingqing, "Let's go first. If we are surrounded by them, it will be troublesome."
"Why are you running? Didn't you see they were recording the video? With the pixel count of today's phones, they should have recorded our faces clearly."
Bai Qingqing blocked Zan Fang's hand from closing the window and leaned against the window, looking down at the water, looking calm and composed.
"Do you believe that we are already trending on the Internet? Before Baotong comes out, we will be the number one trending search."
"There are still programs. I don't know how many cameras Director Wu has arranged in Baotong County. Now there are several more around us."
As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her lips curved deeper, as if she was laughing: "Anyway, with so many eyes staring at us, we are doing this for the show and for Baotong County. We can't run away, and we can't be blamed."
Zan Fang knew that Bai Qingqing was skilled and courageous in exorcising ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, but he never knew that she was so bold and reckless in other aspects of her life.
Right now, there are dozens of mobile phones on the opposite side taking photos and videos of them.
They were also carrying microphones for recording the show, so even if there were no cameras nearby to broadcast their footage to the live broadcast room, the audience should be able to hear them talking and guess what they did.
Bai Qingqing was right. There was no way to avoid this matter even if you ran away.
Even though the antique Buddha statue that was buried in the former residence was thrown away, but... Bai Qingqing had never made a mistake in her work. If there was really something wrong with the Buddha statue, there would be no way to save it.
Zan Fang sighed, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and bowed to the long table which was now empty without the Buddha statue.
When he stood up, he saw the faces of Chen Ruihao, Jiang Muning and others in the crowd watching the excitement on the other side. After a slight pause, he sighed again.
I clearly told them not to follow me before I left.
Bai Qingqing might have given similar instructions, otherwise they would not have appeared here together instead of arriving one after another.
However, none of the remaining four people listened, and judging from their attitude, they were about to gather together, showing no fear at all.
When the six of them really gathered here, it looked even more like the scene in the illusion...
Zan Fang felt heavy in his heart, and intuitively felt that there would be a tough battle to fight today.
He could only sigh, and walked over to stand by the window with Bai Qingqing. He craned his neck to look down at the black pool water that was lapping against the shore five or six meters below, and asked her, "How is it? Did you see the problem after throwing it in?"
Bai Qingqing crossed her arms over her chest, looked down and shook her head: "Nothing is happening."
"There's another one at Xinchen Yu's former residence. Why don't we go there and throw that one away and try?"
The excited and enthusiastic citizens now rushed onto the Lotus Bridge, which was less than a hundred meters away from the two-story building where they were, and were about to surround them.
Even without his cultivation, he could still hear those people's angry voices.
The momentum is so great that it seems as if they are going to kill them right now and execute them on the spot.
Zan Fang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid we can't get there now."
"Well, you can't say that. With our abilities, we can probably get so many people out, right?" Bai Qingqing remained calm and composed.
It was clearly her who said that there was something wrong with the Buddha statue, but after she threw it into the water, she didn't seem to be in a hurry to find the problem. Instead, she started to watch a show, slowly looking at the group of passers-by who rushed up.
Standing by the window, he pointed at the crowd and said, "Look at that guy, isn't he the big brother selling candy figures, the city-level artist? What's his name?"
"Zhao Annian."
"Yeah, I've seen him in the fantasy too. He was one of the heads floating on the shore of the pond."
Bai Qingqing really didn't seem to be in a hurry. She pointed at another person in the crowd and said, "And that one, does he look like the passerby who watched the dispute outside the gate of the old house during the day?"
"Oh, I see Doudou's family at the door!"
When Bai Qingqing saw the people along the direction her hand was pointing, she withdrew her hand with great interest and said with a smile on her lips, "Baotong County is really small, and it seems to be all these people."
"Master Zan, how many people do you think Baotong has in total?"
Zan Fang didn't know what she meant by asking this, but he felt that Bai Qingqing wouldn't waste her energy and words. He recalled what she had said tonight and connected them all together, while answering, "The population of a typical county town is between 400,000 and 1.5 million."
"Although Baotong is not a big county, it is not small in size. Today, I saw many young people on the streets, probably around 1.2 million."
Bai Qingqing nodded slowly, "That makes sense. One million and two hundred thousand people believe in the same god. How much faith does that require..."
She smiled as if she was thinking of something happy.
"They broke the door lock! Everyone, go up and catch them and send them to the police station!"
“These foreign tourists are going too far!”
"They look familiar. They seem to be celebrities who are here to record a show..."
"What's wrong with being a celebrity? Even celebrities can't go where tourists are not allowed."
"And you still light candles! Aren't you afraid of fire?"
"Throw out the two people who destroyed our cultural relics!"
The thumping sound of footsteps on the wooden steps reached upstairs. Zan Fang exhaled and turned to the door: "They are coming."
There was no door or lock in Shen Yu's former residence, so the group of people outside could see the two of them at a glance when they went up to the second floor and surrounded them.
Among the crowd that was crowding up the stairs, Zan Fang also saw Pu Yueling and a few others. They all lowered their heads and mixed in the crowd, not daring to say a word, and went upstairs with the crowd.
"...It must have received a lot of faith and worship in order to benefit the people of this area." Bai Qingqing said the second half of the sentence with a smile, and looked at the passers-by in front of her leisurely.
Cell phone cameras were pointed at them from close range, with flashes flashing one after another in the dark corridor.
Someone started a live broadcast, pointing at the two of them and cursing angrily. A skinny old man rushed out from the crowd, grabbed Zan Fang's wrist, took a look at the empty long table, and shouted: "Where did you throw the Buddha statue on our table? Who asked you to come up here! Why did you two throw our Buddha statue for no reason! Do you know that this is disrespectful!"
“He really threw it!”
"What the hell, these two are crazy."
"I saw the woman throwing it! I recorded it all!"
A young person in the crowd provided additional information, and the old man's face turned red with anger. When Bai Qingqing turned around and saw her face clearly, he was even more furious and punched her: "I remember you, girl! You spoke rudely to our Buddha during the day! You even sneaked into the forbidden area at night and threw our Buddha statues!"
Bai Qingqing didn't even try to give in, and was hit hard by the old man's punch.
Pu Yueling and Chen Rui, who were mixed in the crowd, were very anxious. They squeezed out of the crowd and immediately blocked the two of them. They pulled the old man's hand away from Zan Fang and said to him, "What's wrong with you, old man? Why do you come up and hit people?"
Chen Rui glared at the old man.
Pu Yueling stood beside Bai Qingqing, pulled her back a step, and shouted to the people on the opposite side: "Don't come over here!"
The old man was so angry that he almost fell backwards. He pointed at the two young men who suddenly appeared and said, "You..."
"They are in the same group!"
"I have seen the four of them during the day! They were touring the old house together in the daytime, looking like ordinary people!"
The old man swallowed his saliva angrily, and finally calmed down: "Not only will I beat you, I will also beat you to death! You are disrespectful to the Buddha, and the Buddha will not forgive you! You..."
"Yes! They are disrespectful to the Buddha, beat them to death!"
The old man picked up a bench placed against the wall, and the anger of the crowd was aroused, and they reached out to push Zan Fang.
Chen Ruihao and Zan Fang protected the two girls behind them. Although the former started to speak in a gentle tone, as Bai Qingqing was indeed in the wrong for throwing the Buddha statue, no one on the opposite side listened to him. They all looked ferocious, which made him angry and he wanted to fight with them.
The latter protected the people and tried to persuade them, but no one listened. He even had to find time to grab Chen Rui so that he would not hit anyone. Bao Zishi squeezed out from the crowd at the back, stood in front of them with his tall and strong figure, pointing at the young and middle-aged men who were about to hit people, scaring them so much that they dared not rush forward.
Jiang Muning arrived late, and as soon as he arrived, he squeezed through the crowd and stood next to them.
He tilted his head to look at them: "Qingqing, Taoist Zan, are you okay? What happened? Why are so many people surrounding you?"
A row of six people squeezed into the room, filling up the small room in an instant. The people on the opposite side stared at them in shock, then quickly realized, "Great! They're all here! These guys are all in the same group!"
"What's wrong with having too many people? We have more people!"
"I'm telling you, you must jump into the pond today and fish the Buddha statue out for us!"
"Go to the police station and lock him up for a few more months! He'll learn his lesson!"
"Whoever throws it jumps! If a woman throws it, that woman should fish it out in the water!"
Jiang Mu Ning, who arrived a step later, seemed to understand what was said. His eyes gradually became shocked and he looked at Bai Qingqing: "Qingqing, did you throw the Buddha statue that sank in the old house into the water?"
"How could you do this?! Apologize to everyone right away."
Bai Qingqing: "Why should we apologize to them? The Buddha statue is not theirs. If we want to apologize, we should apologize to the Buddha statue itself, right?"
Jiang Muning was stunned when she heard it. Not only her, but the others were also confused by what she said and didn't understand what she meant.
"Who wants her to apologize? That's a cultural relic. She's breaking the law by doing this!"
"This woman lost our Baotong County's cultural relics and jumped into the water to retrieve them! She deserves a beating and punishment!"
A group of people on the opposite side were talking at once, but Bai Qingqing seemed not to hear them. She said to Zan Fang, "Zan Fang, how's your memory? Do they look familiar to you?"
Zan Fang had already felt that Bai Qingqing was waiting for something in a leisurely manner.
When he heard her say this, he immediately looked at the faces in the crowd one by one, and was horrified.
The faces of these people have all been seen in the pool of heads in the illusion.
Some of them were clearly things he had not seen during the day, and they were also among them at this moment, completely matching what was in the illusion.
When the people nearby heard Bai Qingqing's words, they recognized a few of them from among the angry crowd. They had been bravely protecting Bai Qingqing and fighting against them, but when they realized they were dead bodies, they immediately became timid and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.
Chen Rui lost his temper and quietly approached Pu Yueling and whispered, "Yueling, we are not in the illusion again, are we?"
Pu Yueling also spoke in a low voice with a timid look in her eyes: "No, I didn't feel it...Ask Qingqing!"
The people on the opposite side saw that their expressions suddenly changed, as if they were scared, and sneered: "Are you scared now? Why weren't you scared when you broke into the forbidden area and threw our cultural relics!"
"Stop talking so much nonsense! Push that woman down and pick up the Buddha statue! Don't let them get away!"
"Down! Down! Down!"
The old man standing in the front was angry and sad. He was so angry at Bai Qingqing for throwing the Buddha statue that his eyes turned red. He was almost crying. He pointed at Bai Qingqing and said in a hoarse voice: "You jump down and pick up the Buddha statue yourself. We won't force you."
"Mr. Li, she won't agree. Everyone, take her in!"
Several strong young men came forward and wanted to attack Bai Qingqing.
Pu Yueling pointed at the dark lotus pond outside and shouted, "The pond is so big and deep. You want a girl to jump into the lotus pond in the middle of the night to fish out a Buddha statue. This is going to cost her life! Aren't you afraid of killing someone?"
The few young men who walked to the front had determined expressions on their faces. The team of dozens of people moved a few steps forward, and each of them had a crazy look in their eyes.
"If she dies, it must be the mercy of the Buddha, who will take her life to atone for her sins and help her escape from the suffering of the world as soon as possible."
People in the crowd put their hands together one after another, and their angry expressions suddenly became calm, and they chanted one after another: "Buddha, have mercy on you."
"Buddha has mercy on us."
"Buddha has mercy on us."
"Ascend to paradise early."
Pu Yueling and Chen Ruihao felt that they were even scarier now than they had looked just now, and looked at Zan Fang and Bai Qingqing helplessly.
Jiang Muning felt that there was something wrong with this group of people, and quietly asked E01: "Is there something wrong with this group of people? Are we in another illusion again?"
〖This is not an illusion. The evil Buddha Wu Ri Tathagata was originally in Baotong County and was nurtured by the faith of the people in the surrounding counties. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for their faith. These people are also very dangerous. Ning Bao, you'd better be careful and don't stand out...〗
Bai Qingqing calmly looked at the dozens of people who crowded the room and the corridor outside. Her eyes passed over Jiang Mu Ning, looking at everyone, and finally looked at the other side of the pond outside the window.
More and more people have noticed the unusual movements here, and many are gathering here one after another.
The streets around the scenic area have become much emptier, with everyone heading towards Jinghuichi.
"Are you running fast?" she suddenly asked softly.
The people on the other side didn't hear it clearly, but the five friends around her did hear it clearly, but they didn't react. They all looked at her. Bao Zishi asked, "What do you mean?"
Pu Yueling opened her mouth wide and looked at Chen Ruihao, exchanging thoughts.
Sister Qing isn't going to run away, is she?
There are so many of them. How can they run?
Jiang Mu Ning grabbed her wrist and whispered, "You want to run?"
The sharp-eared crowd heard it and immediately shouted, "They are trying to run away!"
Bai Qingqing grabbed Jiang Mu Ning's wrist with her backhand, pulled the long table by the window and swung it across in front of everyone. The two red candles shook violently, and with two "bangs" they fell onto the table and rolled around. The open flames scared the crowd so much that they took a step back.
Bai Qingqing grabbed Jiang Mu Ning's waist with both hands and lifted her to the window. Before she could react, she was held by the waist and thrown to the corridor outside.
He patted her butt and pointed to the stairs ahead, saying, "Run, Miss."
Pu Yueling was stunned by Bai Qingqing's smooth operation. She patted Chen Ruihao to signal him to go, and immediately ran to the window. Chen Ruihao held the table, shaking it from time to time to prevent the group of people from lighting the candles. Seeing Pu Yueling climb out of the window, he quickly let go and followed.

Zan Fang carried his bag on one shoulder and ran beside Bai Qingqing. He was shocked by the sudden absurdity: "You waited until everyone was there before running just to see their faces?"
"Yes." Bai Qingqing nodded.
Seeing that Pu Yueling could not run after two steps, he patted her on the back. Her calves immediately loosened up a lot and she ran faster.
Zan Fang: "So what is it now?"
He watched Bai Qingqing leading everyone to run onto the street, as if they were trying to blend into the crowd to hide their tracks, but he always felt that Bai Qingqing would not get away so easily.
