    A gust of wind blew, Chen Wenying shrank her neck and said: "It's really strange. I have lived in the east of the city for a long time. Why don't I know there is a temple here?"

    Luo Yuanqiu saw that there was no sign or plaque on the temple door. Although the door was wide open, the interior was dim and unclear, and he didn't know which deity was being worshiped. He walked around the smoky incense stand and stepped into the temple first.  .

    Chen Wenying followed closely beside her and looked around in surprise. The temple looked big from the outside, but the front hall was actually empty and there were no statues of any gods.

    No need to say anything, a person could tell that something was wrong here. Luo Yuanqiu walked inside without saying a word. After passing through the front hall, the two of them stopped in front of the tall lacquered door of the middle hall.

    There was a faint light coming from the flower grid on the door, and there were whispers and voices singing in harmony.  Just as Luo Yuanqiu was about to push the door open, a yellow-robed Taoist came out from the side. When he saw them, he flicked his fly whisk, nodded and said, "Are these two good women also here to listen to the Master's lecture?"

    Luo Yuanqiu lowered his eyes and said, "Exactly."

    The Taoist looked at them and seemed a little confused. When he was about to ask a question, Chen Wenying hurriedly said: "Taoist, we haven't seen anyone since we entered the temple. We don't know who to look for if we want to add some sesame oil. This money -"

    The Taoist smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Is this the first time that the good woman has come here? The small temple does not need sesame oil or other offerings, and you two do not need to look for anyone. But it is fate that you came here, and it coincides with the Master opening the altar today.  It¡¯s better for you two good women to listen to the lecture. As the saying goes, sincerity leads to spirituality. If you chant this sutra often, you will get what you want. Why do you need external things to cause troubles?"

    He flicked the fly whisk again, leaned on his arm, and said: "The main entrance of the hall cannot be opened easily now. You two, please follow me."

    Luo Yuanqiu and Chen Wenying looked at each other and followed the Taoist into the hall from the side corridor. Suddenly, their eyes were bright. Thousands of oil lamps hung from the lamp stands on both sides of the hall. The red lamp bowls were as bright as a lamp.  Wang Chuning's blood was reflected by the light, which was eye-catching and shocking, but also shocked people for no reason.

    The hall was filled with a strange smell of incense and candles. The Taoist took two paper masks from a cabinet and handed them to the two of them. He said, "Today the Master is talking about the section of life and death. Could you please two good women put them on?"  Only by forgetting this body on this piece of paper can you understand the mysteries described in this sutra.¡±

    Luo Yuanqiu took the mask and turned it over. He saw a face that looked like he was crying or laughing. It was really ugly.  Putting it on calmly, she remembered that she had clearly seen this mask before.

    Seeing that Chen Wenying was also wearing a paper mask, the Taoist led the two people towards the depths of the hall.  The lights became brighter as we walked in, illuminating every corner of the large hall as clearly as day.  A tall statue of a god stood in the center. The statue held a long sword and made an angry look. The silk ribbons of its robes flew up and hung in the air, as if it was about to kill the demon under the sword.  People who enter the temple must look at this image, so it is specially placed here, presumably to intimidate.

    Luo Yuanqiu looked up and felt a shiver in his heart - the eyes of the statue had not been lit and were still gray, as if it was done deliberately.  She looked at the feet of the statue again. In the soaring flames, countless human bones and skeletons were struggling hopelessly, being mercilessly trampled by the heroic god who subdued demons.

    There are many people sitting on their knees in the main hall, all wearing strange-looking pieces of paper, like a group of paper dolls.  On the stage, a middle-aged man dressed as a mage was talking. Next to him were seven children kneeling with white masks on their faces. The expressions painted on the masks were very different, vaguely including happiness, anger, sadness, joy,  Greedy, angry, and stupid, Luo Yuanqiu pulled Chen Wenying to kneel down in the corner. Chen Wenying whispered: "Why can't these people even move?"

    Luo Yuanqiu shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to the stage.  She had no intention of listening to what the mage was saying, and met the statue's eyes again. Her eyes were calm, but the murderous intention that had been absent for a long time gradually rose from the bottom of her heart.

    The meandering blood slowly gathered together, and the eyes were filled with overwhelming red, like a flower that had bloomed and failed. There was an unspeakable beauty in the ruin.

    She leaned over and grabbed a handful of snow and wiped the blood on her hands. She heard the man say: "You and we are obviously the same kind of people, but you want to kill us all If you kill us today, you will be killed tomorrow."  Someone is coming to kill you! Do you think you can escape?!"

    Since you can¡¯t escape, why bother trying to escape again?

    People are bound to die, and it doesn't make much difference to her to die early or die. People who kill people will eventually die at the hands of others, which can be regarded as retribution in the cycle of cause and effect.

    With his hands spread out on his knees, Luo Yuanqiu lowered his head and looked at the lines on his palms.  She didn't care about life or death, but she had promised her junior sister that she would live no matter what.  The road to death is smooth, but the road to life is extremely difficult. It is true to live, but how can we do it well??In the corridor behind the side door.

    As the cool breeze blew, Chen Wenying suddenly woke up a little, but her eyes were still a little blurry.  Luo Yuanqiu knew that she was just fascinated by the fragrance in the palace, and he would come back to her senses after a while, so he specially used his sleeve as a fan to fan her.

    Chen Wenying said blankly: "Huh? What's going on? I, I was just what's wrong with me."

    Luo Yuanqiu put his hand directly on the back of her neck. Chen Wenying suddenly jumped up and shouted: "It's so cold, so cold, take it away, take it away!"

    "Have you come back to your senses?" Luo Yuanqiu said amusedly, "I didn't expect that this mage's ability to preach scriptures is so good. You almost worshiped with them."

    Chen Wenying was greatly embarrassed and said incoherently: "What the Master said is nonsense. How could I worship him just because of his few words? There must be something wrong with the incense in that temple!"

    Realizing that she was still holding the piece of paper in her hand, Chen Wenying said angrily: "There must be something wrong with this piece of paper! This evil god who is not on the list dares to openly gather people to preach in the city. I will definitely look back.  Report to Taishi Bureau!"

    Luo Yuanqiu looked at the crumpled paper in her hand and said, "I have seen this mask before."

    "Really?" Chen Wenying asked, "This mask is so ugly, have you ever seen it before?"

    The two of them squatted in the corridor and blew in the cold wind. Luo Yuanqiu listened to the faint voices coming from inside and said thoughtfully: "Didn't we arrest a Taoist priest who made alchemy earlier? Do you still remember this?"

    Chen Wenying hurriedly said: "Remember, remember! That person is still a remnant of the Bai Jue Sect, and he has raised a bunch of bugs behind the yard where he lives!"

    Thinking of this, Chen Wenying felt a little chilly and turned her head to vomit for a while: "Although we haven't seen the bugs, we seem to have caught those bug nests with our hands"

    Even Luo Yuanqiu couldn't bear it now. He held her hand first and said, "Okay, okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore. I remember that I found a bronze mirror in his room, and there seemed to be a Bai Jue on it.  The logo of the religion. Later, someone stopped me on the road and asked me to hand over this mirror. The person who blocked me was wearing a messy ghost mask like this that day."

    Chen Wenying said in surprise: "Wait a minute, why didn't you tell me about this?"

    Luo Yuanqiu waved her hands and said: "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." She glanced at the side door leading to the main hall behind her and whispered: "If I guessed correctly, this is where the Baijue Sect is hiding in the capital.  place.¡±

    Chen Wenying¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°What do you want to do?¡±

    "In the past, when she heard anything related to the Bai Jue Sect, she would stay away from it, and she would be endlessly worried.  But with Luo Yuanqiu by his side, Chen Wenying was very afraid and even a little enthusiastic.

    Luo Yuanqiu paused, knowing that his friend had been tortured by Hua Ben for many years. He yearned for the unrestrained life of fighting in the world, punishing evil and promoting good, and he was determined to turn the clouds around and do something big to spread his good name.  .

    She sighed imperceptibly, Chen Wenying was like sticky cake and it was hard to get rid of it. I was afraid that she would have to find another way to get her out of the temple.

    Unfolding the piece of paper, Luo Yuanqiu had an idea and pretended to be serious: "I'm afraid what if I scare the snake and they run away? Beijing is so big, if these people hide in the houses of those believers, even if they are given orders, they will not be able to do anything.  Can¡¯t we conduct house-to-house searches?¡±

    This statement is both emotional and reasonable, and Chen Wenying is also very troubled: "There are only two of us, it seems not enough."

    Luo Yuanqiu said: "Have you brought the commanding belt with you?"

    Chen Wenying has been doing night patrols in recent days, so she naturally took it with her and nodded immediately.  Luo Yuanqiu put his arm around her shoulders, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "In this way, if you go out of the temple now, someone will definitely follow you. But you have the cover of your waistband. After your appearance changes,  , those people may not be able to recognize you, so they will not be alarmed. Take this opportunity to return to the Taishi Bureau and report the matter to Master Dong Guanzheng."

    Chen Wenying nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then she was stunned for a moment and looked at her suddenly: "I've gone back, what about you?"

    Luo Yuanqiu smiled: "I'll keep an eye on them here to prevent them from escaping."

    Chen Wenying wanted to stay with her, but was hesitant after hearing this.  Seeing her wavering, Luo Yuanqiu decided to strike while the iron was hot, and said seriously: "It's not easy after you leave the temple. How to get rid of those who followed you all the way depends on your ability."

    She also deliberately exaggerated her words, making it seem like she was going up a mountain of swords and down a sea of ??fire, with countless difficulties and obstacles.  Chen Wenying's passion made her boil as she spoke. She suddenly felt that she had an important responsibility that she could not refuse, and she wanted to leave the temple immediately.

    Luo Yuanqiu gave her a few more instructions and watched her leave the temple with a smile.

    After Chen Wenying was no longer visible, the smile on her face faded.  Turning around, she returned to the corridor of the central hall, gently pushed open the side door, and raised her head slightly, those bright lights fell into her eyes and turned into a gleaming glow of night.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Behind her figure, the smile on her face faded.  Turning around, she returned to the corridor of the central hall, gently pushed open the side door, and raised her head slightly, those bright lights fell into her eyes and turned into a gleaming glow of night.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
