Everyone in the Qiao family packed their things quickly.

Even if there are a large number of people, the noise will inevitably be louder.

When they were about to leave, Master Hongzhen actually appeared again.

He was twisting the beads in his hand, but this time he did not proclaim the name of Buddha, nor did he take the initiative to speak.

He just stood there and looked at the Qiao family indifferently.

His eyes reflected the firelight, and two tiny flames seemed to light up in his eyes.

"Dear donors, it's getting late now. Are you still unable to sleep? Where are you going?"

Qiao Jingchen opened the way in front, stepped forward and said, "Master, I have something to do at home, and I need to rush back overnight. I didn't have time to say goodbye in person, so I hope you don't mind."

Master Hongzhen said expressionlessly: "The young monk observes the sky at night, and there will be heavy rain in the middle of the night. This place is deep in the mountains, and there will inevitably be flash floods and landslides blocking the road, which is very dangerous."

"For the sake of everyone's safety, it's better to stay in this temple for a few more days."

Qiao Jingchen raised her eyebrows and said in a bad tone: "General, I will naturally put the safety of my family first."

"But these are not things that you need to worry about, master. Please go back and rest. Don't delay our schedule."

Master Hongzhen stood still, showing no intention of getting out of the way.

"General Qiao, this young monk has been practicing in this temple. He knows the unpredictable weather in the mountains better than anyone else."

"Moreover, it is already dark now, and walking on the mountain road in the middle of the night is even more dangerous. Therefore, the young monk still advises the general to think twice before proceeding."

Qiao Jingchen took the sword out of its sheath with a "snap" and took two fingers out of it, as if she would take action if she disagreed.

However, Master Hongzhen’s face was still as sinking as water, but his clothes were moving automatically without any wind.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Qiao Wanshu knew that she was powerless to stop it, and couldn't help but wailed in her heart.

[No, this is really going to kill me! 】

[The demon monk’s strength is off the charts! He can take on hundreds of Imperial Guards by himself, but if he didn't rely on the tactics of a large number of people, he wouldn't be able to defeat him at all. 】

[Big Brother wants to attack him now, but with these hundreds of guards, there is no way he can be guarded against him! 】

Qiao Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then gradually put the unsheathed sword back.

If this monster monk is really as powerful as the little sister said, then once he really takes action, his grandmother, mother and little sister will all be there.

It’s simply a shoo-in!

But there are no taboos over there, and women can even be used to contain them. The outcome is destined to be defeat.

Old General Chen suddenly stood up and smoothed things over: "Jingchen, what the master said makes sense."

"The weather in the mountains is changeable, and it's late at night again. We didn't think carefully and started doing things with the idea of ​​marching and fighting."

"My wife is very old, and my son is only one year old. It is really not the best idea to travel with the female family members."

"Why don't we just go back to the meditation room and rest for the night, and we'll see what happens tomorrow."

He cupped his hands and clasped his fists at Master Hongzhen again and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing Master Qingxiu. Please go back and rest."

Only then did a smile appear on Hongzhen's face: "That's very good. Please go back to the meditation room first, so that the young monk can go back safely."

The Qiao family had no choice but to return to the Zen room, make some troubles, and settle down again.

After this storm, everyone was completely sleepless.

Qiao Jingyue has been observing the sky, but no matter how he looks, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. It doesn't look like it will rain suddenly.

"From the look of the weather, it doesn't look like it's going to rain. As for flash floods, it's even more nonsense."

What he said has already been finalized in the hearts of every Qiao family member.

Qiao Wanshu even guessed in her heart: [If the demon monk just wants to keep me, all he needs to do is say that the time for grandma's vow ceremony is not enough and he needs to stay for a few more days. 】

[My grandfather and two older brothers both hold official positions and are going to court. They certainly cannot stay here with us for a long time. Wouldn't it be easy to separate us? 】

[But he insists on keeping everyone here. Could it be that... he wants to catch them all in one go? 】

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all had an ominous premonition.

Qiao Wanshu suddenly said "Ah", which startled everyone again.

I saw her slapping her forehead.

[Oh, I am so old and forgetful! 】

[When the Qiao family was convicted before, there was also the demon monk who added fuel to the flames. He was trying to infer that the Qiao family was a demon star that would cause harm to the country. The emperor also used the topic to play on it, so he was convicted so quickly to silence the world. 】

[But if we take the initiative this time and get evidence of the demon monk's cannibalism first, we might be able to pull him down from the altar and avoid the tragedy from happening again. 】

[But how should I remind them that demon monks eat people and their bones are buried under the peach blossom tree? 】

Everyone looked at Qiao Wanshu's frowning and sad expression, and really wanted to tell her that they could actually hear what she was thinking.

But except for Chen, who knew that Qiao Zhongtian could also hear it, he was not sure whether others could do the same.

It was too shocking to say such a thing, and she didn't dare to gamble for a while.

As for other people, they have the same thought.

So even if I felt uncomfortable holding it back, I could only watch helplessly.

Qiao Wanshu raised her head and stared blankly at the sky.

[Tonight is the night of the full moon, and it is also the time when the demon monk’s skills are at their weakest. And he will definitely be able to eat people today. Maybe if we start today, we can catch him...]

Just when she was in trouble, she suddenly heard Qiao Jingchen say: "Grandpa, I see that the trees and flowers here are growing very beautifully."

"I've heard people say before that plants and trees that are nourished by human flesh and bones will grow very well. So this temple must be really weird."

"Otherwise, let your grandson go explore the peach forest over there and see if you can find any clues?"

Old General Chen nodded and said: "I also have this idea. There must be a monster when something goes wrong. There is nothing wrong with going to check. It would be better if nothing is wrong, and it can also make everyone feel at ease."

"Go! Shu'er...go!"

Qiao Wanshu suddenly leaned out from Chen's arms and stretched out her hand toward Old General Chen, strongly expressing her desire to have a hand in him.

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Chen originally didn't want Qiao Wanshu to take risks.

After all, bloody things and unpredictable dangers made them worried.

But now, only Qiao Wanshu knew the general direction, so he could only agree to take her with him.

As the night got darker, a few people hid in the meditation room next to the peach forest, watching outside with bated breath.

The breeze blows through the peach forest, and the leaves make a rustling sound, accompanied by the chirping of night owls from time to time, adding a bit of a terrifying atmosphere.

The midnight watch sounded, and a burst of almost undetectable footsteps came from far and near.

A figure gradually appeared in the darkness, holding a red cloth package in his arms. It was bulging and he didn't know what it contained.

Qiao Wanshu shouted in her heart: [Here we come! That’s right! 】
