"Okay." Lu Anyuan instructed the people outside the car, and sure enough, there was a temple on a small hill not far away, so everyone changed direction and drove slowly towards the mountain.

After getting off the car, the three words "Wubei Temple" came into view.

"Wubei Temple? This reminds me of the Jingxi Temple we first met later. It's interesting to see the combination of sadness and joy."

"You're thinking too much." Xu Yixing got off the car and handed the child to the wet nurse. After so long, she found that her love for Xiaobao was still intermittent. She would get annoyed when she heard him cry, but if he was well-behaved, she would feel extremely fond of him.

At first she always wondered if she was too selfish, but later she gradually came to realize that there are thousands of ways to express love in the world, and maybe she just hadn't found the right way, so she stopped worrying about it.

"The name of the temple is nothing more than something like Cibei or Miaokong. It's just a coincidence."

Lu Anyuan looked up at the temple gate, which showed some signs of age, and it did not look as neat as the famous temples in the city, but rather dilapidated. So he decided to leave, but Xu Yixing had already entered the temple, so he could only follow him.

Xu Yi walked into the temple and followed the main road into the main hall. He felt the majesty of Buddhism and was filled with awe. He knelt respectfully on the cushion on the ground and silently said in his heart:

I used to be ignorant and fearless, and I boasted disrespectfully in front of the Buddha. However, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, I finally came to the present moment and realized the compassion of the Bodhisattva, who saved countless people from suffering. I only wish that I can live a peaceful life, be healthy, and have an unfettered heart. I can live in peace with my loved ones, retire from the bustling city, and never have any more troubles. If I get what I want, I will rebuild the temple for the Bodhisattva and make another golden statue.

After making the wish, Xu Yixing opened his eyes and saw Lu Anyuan also kneeling on the mat beside him, with a solemn expression and his eyes closed, silent.

As soon as Lu Anyuan opened his eyes, he saw Yixing staring at him with sparkling eyes, so he said, "Okay, let's go after we've finished worshipping."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say to wait until the sun goes down before leaving?"

Lu Anyuan didn't know why, maybe it was because the temple was too dilapidated, which made him always want to leave. After hearing what Yixing said, he could only let her do it.

So the two of them went to the back hall of the temple together. Unlike the front hall, this back hall was full of bricks, stones and wood, and it seemed that it needed to be repaired.

Ah Da also came forward and said, "I have just asked the monks in the temple. The things piled in the back hall are used to repair the temple. They were donated by a donor."

"Yeah." Xu Yixing walked along the back door of the temple to the back of the mountain. At this moment, the breeze was blowing, which was extremely comfortable. However, a person passed by the edge of his eyes vaguely, and when Xu Yixing turned his head to look, he was gone.

"You go to the front hall and wait for me. I want to be alone for a while." Mo Ci was stunned, but still took his people away, but quickly reported to the master. Then A Da walked towards the lady by feeling the gable, and soon came back.

"Master, the madam is talking to a monk in the temple. That monk is..." Ada whispered a name in Lu Anyuan's ear, and the latter immediately lost interest. He waved his hand and led everyone back to the front hall to rest and eat something.

On the back mountain, the two men accepted his kindness and spoke freely.

"I couldn't find you anywhere. So you've been pretending to be a monk here?" Xu Yixing looked at the bald Shadow Five. He felt very awkward, even more uncomfortable than when he first wore women's clothes.

"Amitabha, I'm not pretending, I really have become a monk." Ying Wuyi raised his hand to salute, and the Buddhist beads on his wrist crackled.

"What? What happened?" Xu Yixing didn't think that anything could force him to this point. If there was, she would definitely not ignore it.

"I heard that you were determined to disband our old group. I know that I have committed a grave sin, and I think you don't want to see me again, so I donated all my wealth to this Wubei Temple, only to become a monk and leave the world behind."

"You..." Xu Yixing still didn't believe it in his heart. Ying Wu was the closest to her among all the shadow guards. He really didn't look like a detached person, otherwise he wouldn't have chased her from Miaozhou to Sijiabao. "Did you kill those people in Yanshan?"

"Yes."

Seeing that he admitted it so straightforwardly, Xu Yixing felt relieved. "You don't have to blame yourself. It's all because of me. The lives of these people are all on my head. If there is retribution, I will pay it back when I die and go to hell. In addition, I have asked people to find their relatives and give them enough compensation. I hope that can reduce some of my sins."

Ying Wu raised his eyes, but there was no trace of relief in his eyes:

"The Bai family saved my life and nurtured me. There is really no need for you to do this. But Madam, you have decided to dismiss us, but I have one question to ask you. Apart from us, the only people you can rely on are the money managed by Miss Si.

Now that the old friends have dispersed, Miss Si is useful, but she thinks you are dead, and you probably won't bother her, let alone get her help. Madam, do you intend to entrust your life and property to a man?"

Xu Yixing didn't expect him to ask such a question. She originally thought that the loyalty of these shadow guards was mostly based on the Bai family and the beliefs they had been taught since childhood, but what Yingwu said was clearly from his own perspective.

"You don't have to worry about this." Xu Yixing patted his thigh: "See, what is this? I have legs. If I'm not doing well, I will run away by myself."

Ying Wu was silent for a long time, but finally said nothing. He originally had many reasons to give to make his wife change her mind, but now it seems that it is useless.

"Do you really want to become a monk?"

"Yes."

"In that case, I wish you all the best and that you will not be bothered by worldly affairs." Xu Yixing reached out and took out a handful of silver notes from his purse, which was worth two thousand taels. No matter what Yingwu's real purpose was, he would do his best to compensate him.

"Amitabha, monks do not accept money, please take it back."

"Anyway, I've given it to you. As for whether you want to keep it and donate it or burn it for fun, it's none of my business." Xu Yixing said and left, just like when he gave the note to Ying Si that day.

Just as he was about to enter the back door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, what is the master's Dharma name?"

"This is the wisdom precept of this poor monk."

Xu Yixing left with satisfaction. I don't know if the host knew the details when he recruited him. This name is indeed very appropriate.

Before going down the mountain, their carriage and horses were listening to the melodious sound of bells on the winding road. Lu Anyuan was a little surprised: "Twenty times? How can a bell be rung so many times?"

"Humph, it's only one hundred taels at a time, so cherish it."

"You are really rich..." Lu Anyuan touched the purse on her waist, which was now deflated. The price of this bell was really expensive.
