Perhaps because the South is a powerful country, the people here have a sense of fear towards Gu Mu.
The guards that Gu Mu sent out gathered information very smoothly, and by the next morning, they had delivered the information that Gu Mu needed to him.
As Gu Mu had expected, Ma Shishi had been in Western Xinjiang for some time; she had arrived there six months ago.
Originally, Xinjiang was a rather rugged country. Logically speaking, someone like Ma Shishi, who is particular about all aspects of life, would not like Xinjiang. However, she stayed there for half a year.
This is one of the points of contention.
Gu Mu continued reading, and the guards recorded all the information they had gathered.
After arriving in Xinjiang, Ma Shishi immediately made contact with the Xinjiang royal family, and her reactions remained normal throughout this period.
Until one day, she went to a temple.
She stayed in the temple for more than half a month without going out.
The day she left the temple was only one month after the Western Frontier sent envoys to the Southern Kingdom to sue for peace and to show their tokens to Gu Mu.
“If there’s a problem, the most likely one is this temple.” Gu Mu had this thought in his mind almost immediately.
"Your Majesty, I will go with you!" Shen Ling quickly grasped Gu Mu's hand and said firmly.
The temple is located halfway up the mountain.
Amazingly, Little Green Tea seemed to have anticipated what they would do, and waited at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Mu's expression darkened upon seeing the green tea b*tch.
Little Green Tea smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you won't find anything there unless it's the night of the full moon."
Gu Mu ignored her and walked straight up the mountain.
The little green tea girl made way for him, looking at the temple.
His eyes held both fear and a hint of mockery.
Perhaps, as Little Green Tea said, Gu Mu didn't find anything unusual in this temple.
There wasn't a single person in the temple.
It doesn't refer to worshippers who burn incense and pray to Buddha, but to everyone.
There wasn't a single monk in this temple.
Surprisingly, the temple was clean and tidy, not at all like it had been abandoned. There was no dust anywhere, as if it was regularly cleaned.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the people here have temporarily left?" Shen Ling asked uncertainly.
After all, this place looks too well-maintained.
Logically speaking, if there were no people in this temple, it would never be in its current state.
"Let's take a look." Gu Mu and Shen Ling strolled around the temple.
For some reason, the more I looked at it, the more horrified I became.
The temple has many rooms, some of which even have beds with bedding, but everything inside is arranged neatly.
Everything, from the teacups on the table and the clothes in the wardrobe to the direction the broom in the yard is pointing, is too neat and tidy.
If there are indeed people living there.
Gu Mu couldn't imagine what kind of person could be so meticulous.
The feeling that Gu Mu had was not that he was a person with extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder managing this temple.
It's more like this temple is a program designed by a computer, and everything here is just a bunch of code.
That's why it's so neat and clean, and it doesn't look like anyone has lived there.
Why wait until the night of the full moon?
Looking at the temple, Gu Mu couldn't help but think.
Perhaps it's not that the night of the full moon is anything special, but rather that if we compare this temple to a program, perhaps something will happen in this temple at fixed intervals, and these fixed intervals correspond to the night of the full moon in this world.
After Gu Mu and Shen Ling went down the mountain, they encountered the little green tea again.
Seemingly knowing that Shen Ling and Gu Mu would return empty-handed, Little Green Tea was already waiting at the foot of the mountain, still with a smiling face: "I told you, you won't find anything."
"What exactly do you know?" Shen Ling tilted her head and looked at Little Green Tea.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the little green tea called out in a polite yet distant tone, "If you discovered that the world you live in is completely different from what you imagined, what would you want to do?"
Seemingly anticipating their lack of response, the little green tea girl muttered to herself, "That's right, you haven't experienced it all firsthand, so how would you understand?"
"At least I saw it... me..." The little green tea giggled, laughing until tears streamed down her face. "All this time, I thought I was striving for everything I wanted for myself. But then I realized..."
"Even what I want is fake, it's all just to please others."
"Not to mention, everything I've ever strived for seems like a joke, a huge joke..."
"I have flesh and blood, and my own thoughts, but who else but myself would understand me?"
The little green tea looked at Gu Mu and Shen Ling with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
She stood there, watching Gu Mu and Shen Ling gradually disappear into the distance, leaving her with only their backs.
She wiped the tears from her cheeks.
“I used to think I had won, or almost won, but now I realize that the one thing I was missing is a chasm that I will never be able to cross.”
"I have never truly existed; I suppose everyone except myself would think so."
"My life has been lived solely for you."
The little green tea girl raised her face, lowered the sleeve she had been using to wipe her tears, revealing a face so beautiful it could shame the moon and flowers, pitiful and exceptionally pretty.
She finally turned around and slowly walked back the way she came.
On a night with a full moon.
Little Green Tea did not break her promise; she was indeed waiting for Gu Mu there.
Gu Mu gripped Shen Ling's hand tightly, feeling a little nervous.
He knew,
This world is not actually a complete world.
Or, this is a female-oriented fiction world, and a female-oriented fiction world that revolves around Shen Ling.
Gu Mu had excellent hearing; he heard everything the little green tea girl said while standing there after he left that day.
If the "green tea b*tch" knew that the world she lived in was a female-oriented fiction world, she would indeed say such a thing.
If anyone told you that you had worked so hard to live for so long, only to find out you were just an insignificant NPC, no one would be able to accept it.
but,
How did the scheming girl find out the truth?
Gu Mu followed Xiao Lvcha towards the temple.
really,
On the night of the full moon, the temple did indeed change.
For the past few nights, Gu Mu had been keeping an eye on the temple. Although the temple was clean and tidy, it was indeed deserted, and it was pitch black at night.
But that night, the lights were on all night.
After climbing the mountain, we arrived at the temple.
A monk, dressed in a kasaya, sat with his back to them, striking a wooden fish in front of the Buddha.
