Chapter 480: Undercurrent in the Crane Temple: Like a layer of sweet sugar coating
Ajing looked at the pineapple in front of him, his face full of confusion. His head seemed to be shrouded in fog and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

At this time, the warm sunlight quietly shines into the house through the gaps in the soft curtains, forming bright beams of light, adding a touch of tranquility and softness to the slightly mysterious atmosphere.

With some hesitation and uneasiness, Ah Jing cast her eyes towards Cheng Mu and asked quietly, "Can this be eaten?" Before she could react, Cheng Mu decisively picked up a piece of pineapple and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he nodded slightly and praised, "Not bad, try it."

Cheng Mu's action made Ajing let down her guard a little. She hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out her hand, picked up a piece of pineapple and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste of the pineapple instantly spread in her mouth, and the fresh fruity aroma filled the tip of her tongue, making Ajing startled slightly, as if she had forgotten for a moment that she was in the dangerous situation of the Crane Temple, and immersed in the taste enjoyment of this moment.

The man was the first to break the silence. He looked at the two of them and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you have any request this time?" Cheng Mu's heart moved, but his face remained calm. He nodded slightly, revealing a hint of confusion in his eyes. He said softly, "I am confused and feel that something is missing in my life. I heard that this Crane Temple is effective, so I came here."

When the woman heard this, her lips curled up and her laughter was clear and sweet, like the warm spring sun in March that could melt the ice, dispelling some of the tension in the house. Ah Jing looked at her bright smile and couldn't help but feel happy too, but the rationality in her heart kept pulling her back, telling herself not to be fooled by this appearance.

The woman laughed, gently played with the hair by her ear, and said softly: "It is common to be confused. In this world of troubles, it is inevitable that the heart will lose its way. However, you will find the answer here with us." Her voice was soft and gentle, as if it had a kind of bewitching power.

Ajing suppressed her inner turmoil and thought to herself, "Can I really find the answer? This temple looks very different from the last time I came here. Is there any special reason?" She tried to find out the secret behind the changes in the Crane Temple from this seemingly casual inquiry.

The man and the woman looked at each other, and the man smiled and said, "This temple is often repaired, so it will naturally change. We are also committed to providing everyone with a better place to pray."

Cheng Mu listened quietly to the man and woman talking. Their tone was full of humility, and every word emphasized that everyone who came here was willing, as if this Crane Temple was a pure spiritual paradise, without any coercion or malice.

This peaceful appearance is like a layer of sweet sugar coating. If a person is not strong-minded and lacks vigilance, he or she may be easily confused and fall into it involuntarily and believe it without a doubt. After all, who can resist all this seemingly beautiful thing?

At this time, Cheng Mu calmly looked at Ajing, his eyes revealing calmness and wisdom.

The gaze lingered briefly on Ajing's face, but the deep meaning in it was clear and obvious. It was clearly signaling Ajing to continue cooperating, following the conversation of the two people, and cleverly raising some questions to further explore the secrets hidden behind it.

Ajing was so perceptive that he understood what he meant instantly. He nodded slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He was ready to continue this back-and-forth performance.

Ah Jing pretended to be confused and nodded, saying, "So that's how it is. Then what can we do to solve this puzzle?"

At this time, the two people in the Crane Temple did not take out any common items such as herbs. After all, they also saw that Ajing and Cheng Mu were not ordinary pilgrims seeking material satisfaction. The woman was thoughtful and had no intention of alarming the enemy. She leaned forward slightly, with a just right expression of concern on her face, and asked softly: "You two seem to have a lot of confusion in your expressions. Why don't you tell me about it? Although we are also struggling in this world and have many confusions of our own, we may not be able to help much, but it is always good to speak out, and maybe we can find some clues together." Her attitude was very humble, and her words were full of humility, as if she was just a kind person who really wanted to help others, making it difficult for people to detect the real purpose hidden behind her.

Cheng Mu said calmly, "As for us, the girl next to me, we have been engaged since we were young. But now, she seems to be still hesitant and has not made up her mind." As he said this, he looked at Ajing with a little helplessness.

When the woman heard this, an understanding look immediately appeared on her face. She nodded gently, with a hint of sympathy and understanding in her eyes, as if she was deeply touched by this love story.

Ajing had just put a piece of pineapple into her mouth when she heard Cheng Mu's words. She almost choked. She finally forced herself to swallow the pineapple in her mouth, secretly criticizing in her heart: "This guy is really good at making up stories!" But she still had to maintain the look of an ignorant girl, but a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in her eyes. She glared at Cheng Mu, and then quickly returned to normal, for fear that the woman would see the flaw and continue this "performance" full of unknowns and dangers.

The man waved his hands hastily, with a friendly and slightly honest smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's really nothing, these are all things we have experienced, we all understand."

Cheng Mu and Ajing quickly exchanged glances, which showed both doubts about the man's words and determination to continue exploring.

The man continued speaking, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and smiled at the woman beside him, and continued: "My wife and I have been married for more than ten years."

Ah Jing couldn't help but blurt out in surprise: "You are married?"

The two smiled at each other, and the man nodded and said, "Yes, we got married when we were young. Over the past ten years, our lives have been ordinary and quiet, and nothing special has happened. In fact, there is not that much difference between getting married and not getting married, so there is no need to be too anxious."

Listening to the man's words, Ajing's heart unconsciously relaxed. She didn't feel any pressure at all. She just felt that these words were like a gentle breeze, gently blowing through her heart, which sounded particularly comfortable. But her rationality deep in her heart was always reminding herself not to be fooled by this seemingly sincere appearance. After all, this was in the mysterious and weird Crane Temple. Any negligence could put herself and Cheng Mu into an irretrievable situation.

The woman bowed slightly, her posture elegant and gentle, and said softly: "Well, that's it. Marriage can't be rushed, especially for girls. You must wait until you are willing and really want to get married and are ready to have children before you make plans for these major events in life. Before that, no one has the right to force you."

As she spoke, the woman's eyes fell quietly on Ajing, her eyes were gentle but with an indescribable penetrating power, as if they could see straight into the depths of Ajing's heart. Ajing couldn't help but feel a little scared when she looked at him, it felt like all his thoughts were exposed under her gaze.

However, it must be admitted that every word the woman said went straight into Ajing's heart, making her feel a sense of identity involuntarily, and every word seemed to be telling her inner thoughts. Ajing secretly exclaimed in her heart: "This person is really amazing. She can make people let down their guard with just a few words. This kind of skill of bewitching people is really high!" But at the same time, Ajing also knew that the more this happened, the more she had to keep a clear head and not be fooled by this sugar-coated bullet. After all, they were in the mysterious Crane Temple, and no one knew what kind of conspiracy was hidden under this seemingly kind appearance.
