Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

(hiss...)

(What is this? It looks so confusing!)

(This Huanglian seems like a nice person! Why did she secretly tell Cheng Buhui that she found some Buddhist beads?)

(What? Can't I tell her in public?)

(And... I remember the system's assessment of Cheng Buhui this time was—a key person? And... a face blessed by the gods?)

(…)

Looking at the CG, An Lan's mind was in a complete whirlwind.

but!

To An Lan's surprise, there was more than just this one CG scene.

"Buzzing—"

After the scene of a short run towards the [Main Hall] ends...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Adjusting his breathing, Cheng Buhui quickly walked to a prayer mat under the Buddha statue.

Beneath another prayer cushion beside the Buddha statue, "Bilian" was already seated cross-legged, turning prayer beads and chanting some scriptures. Hearing that Cheng Buhui had arrived, she didn't even open her eyes, only muttering, "You're late!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Sorry... host..."

"I sincerely repent to Buddha!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress..."

After Cheng Buhui began chanting scriptures, "Bilian" slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Cheng Buhui, and said, "Liaoye...have you been sleeping very late lately...?"

"Is something on your mind?"

A slightly gentler tone came from behind him, and Cheng Buhui paused in his recitation, then stammered as he looked at "Bilian": "Um...um...Master, I've been having dreams lately...about some men..."

"Then...then..."

"Shut up!!!!!"

moment!

The once kind-faced "Bilian" immediately darkened her expression: "What nonsense are you spouting in front of the Buddha?!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"I...I shouldn't have said these things...I..."

"snort--"

"A monk must learn to control his seven emotions and six desires!"

"The Buddha taught detachment... Only by achieving true purity of the six senses, true clarity, perhaps when we reach that stage... when we reach that stage, we can..."

"..."

"Bilian" was talking to herself, while Cheng Buhui kept reciting scriptures.

As I kept reading...

The little nun's head drooped, and she started to doze off...

【drop--】

[The current CG has finished playing...]

"..."

After watching this CG, An Lan was still completely confused.

What the hell is this?

The young nun is going through puberty; some dreams are uncontrollable, which is perfectly normal...

What's with the host's look of deep disgust?

besides...

In Cheng Buhui's memory, that "coptis" seemed to be very biased towards her, but after being in the temple for so long, she still didn't seem to have seen her.

What does it mean to find "the Buddhist beads in the house"?

What does it mean to spend seven days in the [Shennin-an]?

"Tsk..."

There are still too many mysteries!

An Lan frowned, then immediately sat up from the bed and looked outside.

"What? What came to mind?"

Wen Lan looked at An Lan in surprise, and An Lan nodded: "There's a tiny clue... Let's go somewhere!"

"Huh? Where?"

"next door!"

"Creak—"

An Lan pushed open the door to the meditation room, first glancing at the corridor outside to make sure no one was there, then pushed towards the door of the meditation room next door, [Liao Ye]...

The door wasn't locked; it opened with a push!

An Lan and Wen Lan quickly entered and closed the door.

The room was just like the one An Lan had seen in the CG; it was only about ten square meters in size, with just a wooden bed and a small table and chairs. Nothing else was there!

An Lan squinted at the room's layout and began rummaging through the cabinets around the table...

No!

No! ! !

The cabinet was completely empty!

I didn't see any Buddhist prayer beads at all.

An Lan was undeterred. She lifted the blankets on the wooden bed and searched it thoroughly, but still found no Buddhist beads...

"An Lan? What's wrong with you?"

Wen Lan stared blankly at An Lan, who stopped what she was doing and looked outside with a strange expression: "Strange... Could it be... that [Liao Ye] carries those [Buddhist beads] with him?"

"That doesn't make sense..."

"I didn't see her holding prayer beads like the abbot..."

......

the other side.

In the outer room of the Zen room, the three members of the "Three Kingdoms" were gathered together.

Shudra stood at the doorway, staring warily into the corridor outside: "Captain... they're gone! Where are we now?"

"Um--"

"Brahman!"

The Kshatriya continued to look at the Brahman as usual, and the Brahman began to stroke the crystal ball. Suddenly, a "double fish" pattern appeared on the ball!

This pattern is very interesting. It features a large fish followed by a small fish, and it's like a mirror image. There's a pair of "two fish" above and a pair of "two fish" reflected below!

"this..."

"Pisces reflection?"

"Four Fish Connect..."

"Brahman, what does this mean?"

The Kshatriya looked at the Brahmin with confusion. The Brahmin pursed his dry lips and suddenly muttered, "The reflection represents two worlds... and the intertwined fish symbolize that two people are connected to these two worlds..."

"They are the medium through which these two worlds came into being!"

"ha?"

"so what?"

"So... the only information we can deduce at the moment is that this temple might have another space!"

"That's it?"

"Um... if we could find these two people, perhaps..."

The Brahmin explained, and the Kshatriya rolled his eyes at him helplessly: "Find them? How? There are so many people in this temple, how would anyone know which two they are?"

"Then... Captain... what's the next step, what should we do..."

The Brahmin looked at the Kshatriya, who stroked his chin and suddenly looked outside.

"I remember..."

"Long Ao from the Dragon Kingdom, his abilities seem to be based on speculation..."

"If our speculations remain unclear, perhaps following them... could we find some opportunities?"

"this--"

The Brahmin was clearly still hesitant, while the Kshatriya smirked: "What are you afraid of? They don't dare to make a move! That means there's some kind of setting here..."

Furthermore...

"We don't need you to deal with Zhao Kuo..."

"Alright! We'll split into three teams. I'll go find Long Ao! Shudra will keep an eye on Zhao Kuo! As for you... you keep an eye on An Lan!"

"The rest...let them be!"

"Okay... alright..."

After watching his two teammates leave, the Brahman, stroking the crystal ball, resumed fiddling with it.

But this time...

As the sphere was rubbed, the stars inside flickered on and off—"Bang!" The crystal ball...exploded!

"What?!"

"This...this! A sign of death?!"

......

At the Mahavira Hall!

This is probably the most solemn and important area of ​​all temples in the world.

A colossal golden Buddha sits in the center, surrounded by various other Buddha statues. His expressionless face gazes upon all living beings, while wisps of smoke rise from the altar.

【Bilian】sat on the futon, still turning the prayer beads, muttering something.

Her eyebrows twitched up from time to time, as if she were happy?

"Ta-da!"

"Ta-da!"

next moment!

The sound of running footsteps came from outside the main hall. Liao Ye, her ears flushed and face flushed with embarrassment, ran in. It was as if she had just witnessed something shameful. As soon as she reached the Buddha statue, she knelt down on the prayer mat!

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress..."

[Heart Sutra] was recited quickly. [Bilian] glanced at [Liaoye] with disdain, and was about to reprimand him...

"Tap tap tap—"

Two more people walked in from outside the main hall.

Long Ao and Jiang Lai wore official smiles and looked at [Bi Lian]: "Abbot, we also want to come and worship Buddha. We hope that's not considered a disturbance?"

"Oh?"

"It's kind of you gentlemen to be so kind; of course, we can!"

"Please wait a moment, I will fetch incense for all of you! And you outside, would you like some too?"

After giving a soft reply, Bi Lian glanced outside the main hall. Long Ao and Jiang Lai were startled, only then noticing that Shadi Li was standing outside.

This guy?!

When did you follow me here?!

"Oh—of course! Buddhism is also a part of our traditional culture!"

"If possible, could I have a stick of incense and candles too?"

After bowing to Bilian, the Kshatriya slowly walked into the Mahavira Hall...

He glanced at Long Ao and Jiang Lai, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping around the hall.

[Bilian] went to the Buddha statue, as if she was going to get incense.

On the prayer cushion beside the Buddha statue, the one who had "dispelled karma" was chanting some scripture, but his voice was growing softer and softer, and more and more indistinct...

"Tsk...two friends from China..."

"You're being too polite!"

"What's wrong? Can't you tell us? Why are you hiding your actions from us?"

Kshatriya looked at Long Ao with a teasing expression. Long Ao grinned and said, "You're the one being too polite. Why were you in such a hurry to close the door back then?"

"Hey—we're just having a meeting as usual..."

"Let's not talk about that... Captain Long, have you discovered anything?"

"Oh? Captain Kshatriya, you came alone...aren't you afraid—"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

! ! ! ! !

Just as the two were exchanging sarcastic remarks, the ground around them inexplicably began to shake! The entire [Shennien-an] seemed to be hit by an earthquake, with the ground trembling violently!

"What?!"

Long Ao, Jiang Lai, and Shadi Li all shifted their bodies erratically, looking around in disbelief!

The sky outside the Mahavira Hall turned crimson, and blood rained down in torrents!

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"

Inside the main hall, blood began to seep from the walls and ceiling, gathering and dripping irregularly.

"Thump—"

"Thump—"

"Thump—"

The enormous Buddha statue that originally sat majestically and inviolably in the center of the hall has now transformed into a gigantic body!

Yes!

The body!!!

This body had no head, no arms, and no legs; it was just the upper chest of a man! He was huge and naked, and on his chest, countless veins throbbed and knotted, as if wrapping around a constantly beating heart!

"Rustling sound—"

At the severed ends of the arms and thighs of this enormous body, blood-red vines are now growing out of the ground in a bizarre manner, and on each vine is a tall woman holding a knife!

These women, some with green skin and others with red skin, had two crescent-shaped horns on their heads, sharp nails, and a pair of fangs protruding from their mouths. Even though they were wrapped in blood and swung around in mid-air, they kept swinging their knives and fighting back and forth!

"ah!!!"

"ah!!!"

"ah!!!"

With each heartbeat, these monsters roared and recklessly slashed at the surrounding monsters!

And so...

"Puff puff puff—"

Severed limbs, severed hands, severed feet, bits of flesh, and even heads, amidst the swaying blood and the glint of blood, rained down like rain inside the [Great Buddha Hall]!
