The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Xi Yu looked at them and said with a smile: "Thank you, masters."

However, the monks did not respond to him. They just looked at him coldly and turned to leave.

After Xi Yu and others finished their meal, they found that several monks had not come up yet, and they suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

He frowned and said to the remaining monks around him: "Why haven't these monks come up yet? Is there something wrong?"

When the monks heard this, their faces instantly became very solemn. One of them whispered, "Amitabha, I'm afraid the situation is not good."

Xi Yu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I'll go down and take a look now."

At this moment, Tuoba Yu ran over in a hurry, and she shouted anxiously: "Husband, don't take risks! This matter has nothing to do with you!" Her eyes were full of worry and concern, and her hands tightly grasped Xi Yu's arm.

Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Tuoba Yu, his eyes revealing a hint of firmness: "No, I can't just watch them get into trouble." There was a hint of determination on his face.

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu, with a hint of helplessness and heartache in her eyes: "But, it's too dangerous for you to do this." Her brows were furrowed, and her tone was full of worry.

Ouyang Linlin ran over in a hurry, her face full of anxiety and her brows tightly furrowed. She said loudly: "No, we must not let Xi Yu go!" There was determination in her voice.

The monk Wuyou, who was a little older, put his hands together and said softly, "Let's go over and take a look first."

Xiyu showed a trace of helplessness on his face. He looked at Wuyou, sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

Wuyou smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "Don't worry, everything is destined to be fine." After that, he turned and walked forward.

Xi Yu frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well. In that case, please go down and check it out first. I'll wait in my room."

Wuyou clasped his hands together and replied with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, after an hour, if I haven't appeared yet, it won't be too late for you to go down again."

Xi Yu sighed slightly, turned around and walked towards the guest room. His back looked a little lonely. He muttered to himself as he walked, "I hope everything goes well."

At this time, Ouyang Linlin closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and said silently with a pious and solemn expression: "Buddha bless, I hope everything will go well."

Tuoba Yuze frowned and complained with dissatisfaction: "Really, I shouldn't have lived here earlier and caused so much trouble!"

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu helplessly, shook his head, and said softly: "Okay, stop complaining. Things have already happened, and we can only wait and see." There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Tuoba Yu pouted and snorted unwillingly, but did not continue to complain.

Ouyang Linlin still stood there quietly with her hands clasped together, staring intently ahead, as if she was having a spiritual communication with the Buddha.

Xi Yu watched them quietly from the side, praying secretly in his heart that everything would be safe and sound.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, gently ruffling Ouyang Linlin's hair. Her eyes became more determined, as if she had found some comfort in the breeze.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yu ruffled Ouyang Linlin's hair. Her eyes became more determined, as if she had found some comfort in the breeze.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yu calmed down a little. She sighed softly and murmured to herself: "I hope this can be solved smoothly this time."

Xi Yu nodded silently, a trace of worry flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

As time passed, the atmosphere around became particularly solemn.

Ouyang Linlin kept her hands clasped together the entire time, without any relaxation.

Tuoba Yu looked towards the door from time to time, expecting Monk Wuyou to bring good news.

Xi Yu paced back and forth in the room, occasionally stopping to stare at the scenery outside the window, as if thinking about something.

Tuoba Yu held her breath and stared at the door nervously. Her heartbeat seemed to be getting faster and faster with the sound of footsteps.

Xi Yu stopped, crossed his arms across his chest, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

As the footsteps got closer, the door was slowly pushed open, and Monk Wuyou appeared in front of everyone.

He looked quite serious, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

When Wuyou stepped into the basement, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes were full of astonishment.

I saw the old monk struggling in pain, his face distorted and his expression painful.

The old monk saw Wuyou and shouted weakly, "Don't come near!" His voice was full of warning.

Wuyou calmed down, frowned and asked, "Abbot, what on earth happened?"

The old monk panted and told the whole story in detail. His eyes revealed despair and confusion.

After listening to this, Wuyou gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I will help you out first, and the bodies of the other monks will be dealt with later." He stepped closer to the old monk.

The old monk raised his hands tremblingly and said weakly: "I don't know who designed all this, and who set up the mechanism in this tunnel."

Wuyou supported the old monk and comforted him, "Master, go out first, everything will be fine." The old monk's face was full of grief, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Finally, with Wuyou's help, the old monk walked out of the basement with difficulty.

After taking a short rest in the guest room, Xiyu stood in the yard.

His hands were unconsciously clenched, his brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of tension in his eyes, as if his heart was shrouded in some kind of uneasiness.

After a while, he saw Wuyou supporting the old monk and walking slowly towards him.

Xi Yu hurriedly went forward and asked anxiously, "What happened? What happened to the old monk?" His voice was full of concern.

A look of pain appeared on Wuyou's face. He frowned and told Xiyu what had happened in a low voice.

After saying this, Wuyou once again helped the old monk into the meditation room.

After listening to Wuyou's story, Xi Yu's face turned pale instantly.

He widened his eyes, shook his head in disbelief, and muttered to himself, "How could this happen... How could this happen..." His voice was full of pain and sorrow.

Wuyou looked at Xiyu and comforted him softly, "Now that things have come to this, we have to do a good job of cleaning up the mess. I have arranged for other monks to bring the body up." His expression was serious and firm.

Xi Yu bit his lip, tears glistening in his eyes.

"These monks are all innocent, they don't deserve such a fate..."

"We will take care of their funeral and let them rest in peace. The most important thing now is to find out the truth of the matter." Wuyou's eyes revealed firmness and determination.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Wuyou, nodded and said, "I will find out the truth with you." His eyes were full of determination.

Wuyou nodded slightly, then turned around and directed other monks to carry the corpse.

Xi Yu stood quietly by, watching the busy figures of the monks, his heart filled with grief and helplessness.

His brows were furrowed and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart.

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and her eyes were filled with sadness.

She covered her chest tightly with her hands, her lips trembling slightly, and murmured to herself: "How could this happen... It's so cruel..." There was endless grief in her voice.

Her eyes gradually became moist and tears welled up in them, as if they would fall at any time.

Ouyang Linlin's body was trembling slightly. She bit her lip and tried to calm herself down.

She walked to Xi Yu and whispered, "We must find the murderer and avenge those dead monks." Her eyes were full of determination and anger.

Xi Yu turned to look at Ouyang Linlin and nodded.

"Yeah, we will."

Ouyang Linlin took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What do we do now?"

Xi Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Let Wuyou make the arrangements first, and then we can investigate the matter together."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Xiyu's idea.

Her eyes were fixed on the busy Wuyou and other monks, and she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they would be safe.

Xi Yu stood quietly aside, brows furrowed, as if thinking about something.

Ouyang Linlin turned to look at him and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Xi Yu came back to his senses, looked at Ouyang Linlin and said, "I was wondering who the mastermind behind this was and why he wanted to do such a cruel thing to these monks."

A trace of fear flashed across Ouyang Linlin's eyes, "Could it be..." She hesitated to speak.

Xi Yu quickly asked: "What is it? What did you think of?"

Ouyang Linlin shook her head. "I'm not too sure either. It's just a guess."

Xi Yu frowned and asked, "Anyway, tell me about it. Maybe it can provide us with some clues."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lower lip and said softly, "I just feel that this matter may not be as simple as it seems. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."

Xi Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "You are right. We can't take it lightly."

There was a hint of worry in Ouyang Linlin's eyes.

"So what should we do now?" Xi Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's investigate secretly first and don't alert the enemy. At the same time, we must also pay attention to our own safety."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After a while, Xi Yu walked up to the old monk and said firmly: "Master, I want to go down and investigate. We can't let those monks die in vain." His eyes were firm and his expression was serious.

The old monk frowned and shook his head.

"Donor, it has been basically confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave immediately and don't get involved anymore."

Xi Yu straightened up and said solemnly: "Master, I can't just leave like this, I have to find out the truth." There was an unyielding light in his eyes.

The old monk sighed and said helplessly: "Well, since the donor insists on doing this, then let's go."

At this time, Tuoba Yu said: "In that case, I will go down with you. One more person means more strength." Her voice was sonorous and powerful.

Ouyang Linlin said hurriedly: "I want to go too!"

Tuoba Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin, shook his head and said, "You'd better not go. After all, you are just a weak woman. It's too dangerous down there."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip and said unwillingly: "I don't want to be a useless person. I also want to do something for the dead monks."

Xi Yu consoled him, "You are also helping by staying up there and helping us keep an eye on the surroundings."

Ouyang Linlin nodded and stopped talking.

In this way, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu carefully entered the underground passage.

There was a damp smell in the passage, making people feel depressed and uneasy.

Xi Yu's face was a little pale. He looked around nervously and said softly, "It feels very dangerous here. How about I go in alone?" There was a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Tuoba Yu patted Xi Yu's shoulder and said calmly: "Don't worry, I know martial arts and can protect myself and you. I must stay with you." His eyes were firm and confident.

Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu and felt more at ease.

"Okay, let's go together."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly and took the lead to step forward.

Xi Yu followed closely behind Tuoba Yu, his eyes full of vigilance as he paid attention to the movements around him.

Tuoba Yu looked back at Xi Yu and said softly, "Be careful and follow me closely."

"Well, I will."

The two continued to walk forward, the passage became darker and darker, and the atmosphere became more tense.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Xiyu's forehead and his breathing became a little rapid.

Tuoba Yu noticed Xiyu's nervousness, and she comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

At this moment, Wuyou's anxious voice suddenly came from behind.

"Do you have a fire starter?" Wuyou's voice echoed in the passage.

Xiyu and Tuoba Yu stopped suddenly, their faces showing shock.

Xi Yu patted his head and said in annoyance: "Oh, we were so focused on coming in that we forgot about the fire starter!"

Wuyou's voice came again.

"I brought it to you!"

After a while, Wuyou hurried over and handed them the fire starter.

Xiyu looked at Wuyou with gratitude.

"Thanks to you, otherwise we would be in trouble."

"You're welcome. The donor is doing this for us. We should take care of each other."

Afterwards, Wuyou turned and left. Xiyu and Tuoba Yu looked at each other and continued to move forward cautiously.

The two of them soon arrived at the place where several monks had died.

There were still some bloodstains on the ground, which were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Xi Yu frowned and said softly: "Look at the bloodstains, the situation must have been very tragic."

Tuoba Yu squatted down and looked around carefully.

"There don't seem to be any other clues here."

Xiyu nodded.

"Let's look for it again, maybe we can find some clues."

They searched slowly along the blood trail, not missing any details.

Xi Yu sometimes lowered his head in thought, and sometimes looked up to observe his surroundings, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Tuoba Yu remained alert the entire time, paying attention to the movements around him.

Just at this moment, Haishe, with a tired look on his face, dragged his heavy feet and passed by the temple entrance.

Her face was pale, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her lips were a little purple.

Seeing this, the servant Shuang'er beside her asked with concern: "Madam, how do you feel? If you are not feeling well, let's find a place to rest."

Haishe nodded slightly and said weakly: "Well, I am indeed a little tired. Let's find a place to rest."

Shuang'er looked around and pointed at the temple and said, "Madam, why don't we rest in this temple for a while?"

Haishe looked at the temple and frowned.

"Is it okay here? Will it be inconvenient?"

Shuang'er said quickly, "Madam, you are not feeling well, you should rest first. We will stay for a while, there shouldn't be any problem."

Haishe nodded.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

After a while, Shuang'er came to the gate of the temple and said softly, "Master, hello, we are passing by here. My wife is feeling a little unwell and can't walk anymore. We hope to stay in your temple for one night. Could you please make it convenient for us?" There was pleading in her tone and anxiety in her eyes.

The monk at the door replied: "Donor, I am really sorry, something has happened in the temple recently, and it is temporarily inconvenient to receive guests. Please forgive me."

When Shuang'er heard this, she hurriedly said, "Master, my wife is really unwell. If we continue on our journey, I'm afraid her condition will get worse. Please be flexible."

The young monk looked at Haishe, sighed softly, and said, "Well, I'll go talk to the abbot."

After a while, the little monk came back and said to Shuang'er, "Donor, the abbot agrees to let you stay for one night. However, the temple is simple, I hope you don't mind." There was a hint of relief in his tone.

Shuang'er thanked him repeatedly with gratitude: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Abbot."

The two people soon came to a room.

Shuang'er helped Haishe take off her coat and helped her lie down on the bed.

Haishe's face showed fatigue, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Shuang'er looked at Haishe's peaceful sleeping face and said softly, "Madam, you should have a good rest."

After settling Haishe, Shuang'er stood in the room and looked around.

She felt that this temple was particularly strange and was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Thinking of the changes that the monk had just mentioned, Shuang'er felt more and more uneasy.

I don’t know what happened here, I hope there is no danger.

At this moment, Song Shuwen stood quietly outside, his brows slightly frowned, and a hint of worry revealed in his eyes.

Xiaohong came out of the toilet and walked to Song Shuwen.

Song Shuwen sighed softly and said with emotion: "Although I know medical skills, the current trouble is really difficult to solve."

Xiaohong smiled and comforted him: "Doctor Song, you don't have to be so sad. There will always be a way out, don't worry too much." Her eyes were full of determination.

Song Shuwen looked at Xiaohong, smiled bitterly and said, "That being said, I'm still worried."

Shuang'er's eyes suddenly lit up. This old man knows medical skills, so should he let Madam take a look? (End of this chapter)
