After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space
Chapter 462 The Statue Disappears
After this incident, Mu Yunxi was still wary of Ye Huaiyao. As long as Mumu was not asleep, she would take him away from Ye Huaiyao. Ye Huaiyao didn't care and still liked to lie on the peach tree.
Mu Chaochao rode Xiao Jin to Bodhi Town. Mu Yunxi was taken out of the space. The mother and daughter got off the carriage, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
"Please come in, sir. We have private rooms."
The waiter saw that the three women were beautiful, one of them holding a fairy-like baby, and were well dressed, so he enthusiastically led them to the box.
Mu Chaochao replied: "No need, we can just dine in the lobby. Bring us one portion of your signature dishes."
"Okay, one serving of each of the signature dishes!" the waiter called out loudly.
"Sir, please come this way."
There weren't many people in the lobby and their dishes were served quickly.
"Sir, please use it slowly."
"Waiter, I want to ask you about a place."
"I see that you don't look like locals. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I am known to be a gossiper and will tell you everything I know." The waiter was very talkative.
"Waiter, which way is the Bodhi Temple?"
"We have a Bodhi temple in Bodhi Town, but generally no one goes there."
"Just tell me." Tianxuan took a silver ingot and put it on the table.
"In...in...the west." The waiter stuttered, staring at the five taels of silver on the table.
"So what mountains, Taoist temples or monasteries do you have here?"
"You don't know, sir, there are no temples in Bodhi Town. There are two Taoist temples, but most outsiders don't know about them. They are on Luoxia Mountain."
"Which family has more incense?"
"It depends on which temple master wins the competition."
"A competition will decide the incense offering?" Is this town so interesting?
"Yes, the original name of the temple was Qingyun Temple, which enshrined the Three Pure Ones. I heard that the two brothers couldn't stand each other since they were young. The current Taoist priest Qingyun inherited the Taoist temple. Taoist priest Qingping was not convinced, so he built Qingping Temple opposite."
"So the two brothers were fighting for the right of succession, and now the villagers will go to the place where the winner of the competition wins to burn incense."
"Yes Yes."
"So what are they competing in?"
"Compare medical skills and Taoism. The winner can take back the treasure of the temple."
"Which master is more powerful?"
"They are all about the same in ability. This year one wins, next year another one wins. The villagers follow their competition and burn incense in the same place. They are all worshipping the Three Pure Ones anyway."
"Interesting, how do I get to Luoxia Mountain?"
"Luoxia Mountain is in the north."
"Thank you, waiter. These dishes will be packed up and taken away after the last one."
"Okay, okay, I'll go tell the kitchen right away."
"Little Princess, is this the place we are looking for?"
"I don't know, let's go take a look first."
After finishing their meal, they walked out and met a group of men in tight clothes. When they passed by, Tianxuan whispered:
"These people are murderous, I wonder what they are going to do?"
"It's none of our business, go away!"
A few people got on a carriage and found the Bodhi Temple. After passing a few farmhouses, they arrived at the Bodhi Temple. The farmhouses looked poor, but were kept clean by the owners.
The temple is next to a big banyan tree. The walls are mottled and cracks can be seen everywhere. The tiles on the roof are covered with a thin layer of snow. Whenever the wind blows, the snowflakes fall to the ground as lightly as feathers.
Although the stone lions on both sides of the threshold are badly worn, their former majesty and solemnity can still be seen. Compared with the farmhouse next to it, they are like two different worlds.
Several people walked into the dilapidated temple. The temple was dark and gloomy, filled with a strange atmosphere. The statue was already badly damaged, and the area around the altar was clean and tidy, which looked very strange.
Mu Chaochao held the night pearl and looked at the mural, and it was exactly as Ding Yong said.
"Have the girls come to the wrong place?"
"Ah!" The voice of Old Sang came, and Tianxuan was frightened by the voice.
"Why didn't Uncle Ding say that the voice was so cold and scary?"
The night-shining pearl illuminated the temple. In front of him was an old man who looked frail. His eyes were calm and still like dead water, and even his breathing was weak.
"Old man, we came here specially."
"Everyone who comes here has been scared by my ugly face."
The old man said quietly, wiping the altar with a rag.
Tian Xuan looked at the old man cleaning carefully and asked curiously: "Old man, are you the temple keeper? You cleaned the inside so well, why don't you repair the statue and the outside as well?"
"It's not a god worshipped here, who's willing to add fuel to the fire?"
"Old man, since you know that the ghosts enshrined here are resentful, why do you still stay here?"
"Little girl, can you tell that there is a resentful soul here?" The old man looked at Mu Chaochao with turbid eyes.
"I came here because I heard Meiji's story."
"The little girl is from another place." The old man's face was no longer expressionless.
"Exactly."
"That's great, you are the destined one, a noble person!" The old man's eyes were wet and he knelt down and said.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
"Little girl, listen to me. According to legend, many people were killed here. The dead were filled with resentment. They couldn't rest in peace, so they gathered here. This place became a gathering place for ghosts.
Whenever night falls, strange noises are heard here, which make people shudder. Some villagers who dare to explore will encounter horrible incidents here, and some people have never returned since then.
The villagers did not dare to live here, but the masters said that if they offered incense to them, our village would be stable. Most of the villagers did not want to leave their homes, and they agreed when they thought that many of the dead were also from our town.
Our ancestors were the ones who helped kill so many people, and from generation to generation we will choose one person to stay here and look after this temple until all the wronged souls leave.”
Mu Yunxi said: "That means these resentful souls haven't completely left yet."
"Yes, it has been forty generations in my generation. I thought that this sin would be redeemed by my death. As I was about to step into the coffin, the statue had not yet dissipated."
"Forty generations of yours have been guarding this place. Didn't you say you would offer sacrifices for a hundred years?" Tianxuan was extremely surprised.
"Yes, I have been here for thirty years. Once you enter here, you can never leave. There are two days every month when villagers come to worship, and I can meet some people."
It's cold and gloomy here. Mu Chaochao feels very sympathetic towards the old man who has been staying here alone for so many years.
"The departure of the resentful soul means the disappearance of the statue!"
"Yes, yes." It's not that they don't want to repair the statue, but they hope it will be as broken as possible.
"Little girl, the masters said that only the chosen ones can help these resentful souls leave. This old man has been in a ghostly place for a long time. When I saw you, I felt that you were full of spiritual energy. You must be sent by God to save us. Please help us!"
As the old man said this, he was about to kneel down again.
"Old man, since you are destined to come here, I will naturally help."
These resentful souls have been worshipped for so many years, and only a few of them are left. It is easy for Mu Chaochao to save their souls.
Mu Chaochao sat on a cushion and chanted scriptures. The spiritual energy released from his body enveloped the entire temple. The statue slowly emitted golden light and soon turned into dust.
