Samantabhadra Temple had always been the most popular temple in Tangyang City. When Xu Tuzhi and Feng Siniang arrived at the main entrance of Samantabhadra Temple, they saw an endless stream of people entering and leaving the temple.
When Xu Tuzhi thought of the demonic temple that imprisoned the souls of the young girls, he could not help but feel a sense of horror. Who would have thought that in this kind place, where evil should not have appeared, the greatest evil in the world was hidden!
"Let's go in!"
Xu Tuzhi sighed and then pulled Feng Si 'niang's hand. It was not an ordinary pull, but a tight grip.
Feng Si 'niang immediately struggled and shouted,""Do you want to die?"
"We are here to see Great Master Li Hu.”Xu Tuzhi explained.
"I know," Feng Si 'niang said in a deep voice.”
"Then what reason are you going to use to see him?”
Feng Si 'niang rolled her eyes." How would I know?”
"So, you have to cooperate with me."
"Let go."
"Do you still want to save your Xianer?”Xu Tuzhi used his trump card.
Feng Si 'niang quieted down and stopped struggling." Are you sure you're not taking advantage of me on purpose?”
"Am I that kind of person?" Xu Tuzhi asked in a righteous manner.
Feng Si 'niang curled her lips, looking as if there was no need to ask.
Samantabhadra Temple was filled with incense, but it did not occupy a large area. There were only three courtyards in total, divided into the front yard, middle yard, and backyard.
The front yard was for ordinary people to burn incense.
The middle court was specially used to entertain ordinary nobles or foreigners who had traveled long distances to Samantabhadra Temple to seek children and fortune-telling.
The style of the backyard was much higher. It was where the host, Master Li Hu, lived. The main guests were also important figures in Tangyang City, such as Lord Yi of Tangyang City, the richest man, the patriarchs of several large families, and so on...
Xu Tuzhi held Feng Si 'niang tightly and came to the front of the hall in the front yard. Before he could enter the hall, he saw the square-faced middle-aged monk from that day come up to him as he wished.
"Constable Xu, why are you here?" This monk was very enthusiastic. Without waiting for Xu Tuzhi to speak, he continued,"I heard that the she-devil kidnapped you and escaped from prison. Fortunately, you're fine. Otherwise, we would have committed a huge crime. If Arrester Xu was here to pray for blessings, then there was no need. These days, Samantabhadra Temple had been chanting scriptures for Arrester Xu to repay his kindness.”
Knowing the filth of this temple, Xu Tuzhi naturally wouldn't talk nicely to him. He teased,""Oh? That she-devil ran away and couldn't avenge your junior brother, yet you're still chanting scriptures and praying for me? Are you cursing me to die quickly?”
The square-faced monk's expression changed drastically. He waved his hands repeatedly." Constable Xu, you must be joking! You must be joking!"
"Alright, I won't waste my time with you.”Constable Xu held Feng Si 'niang's hand and waved it in front of the monk." I'm here to see Master Li Hu today. I want him to help me read my fortune."”
As soon as the words " marriage " came out of her mouth, Feng Si 'niang, who had been calm all this while, couldn't help but tremble slightly as she glared fiercely at Xu Tu Zhi.
Xu Tuzhi glared back and shouted," Behave yourself. Do you still want your brother to go to jail?"”
At the same time, he squeezed Feng Si 'niang's hand. Feng Si' niang understood and could only suppress the anger in her heart and pretend to be pitiful.
When the square-faced monk saw this, he immediately understood what Xu Tuzhi meant. He put his palms together and said Amitabha before refusing,"Constable Xu, it's unfortunate that the abbot has caught a cold for the past two days and is not fit to receive guests.”
"Is it inappropriate, or do you not want to? Could it be that Great Master Li Hu thinks that I, Constable Xu, am not worthy enough?”Xu Tuzhi's expression was solemn." When did Master Li Hu's threshold become so high?”
"Constable Xu, you misunderstood…"
" In short, if Master Li Hu doesn't calculate my marriage with me today, then…" Xu Tuzhi smiled sinisterly." I don't have the power to demolish Samantabhadra Temple, but it's still easy for me to cause some trouble for Samantabhadra Temple."”
"Constable Xu…"
"Alright! Pretend I never came today!"
Xu Tu was too lazy to argue with this monk. When he came in, he felt that many monks were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally even though they were doing things. The more they said, the more mistakes they would make. The longer they stayed, the easier it was for them to be exposed. He had to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
He pulled Feng Si 'niang and was about to leave.
The square-faced monk immediately jogged a few steps and stopped them. He apologized,"Since Arrester Xu has come personally, how can we let him come here in vain? Arrester Xu, please wait a moment. I'll inform the abbot now!”
Xu Tuzhi pretended to be impatient and waved his hand."Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go!"
"Constable Xu, please wait!"
The square-faced monk left. He gave a few instructions to a young monk and hurried to the backyard.
The little monk was responsible for guiding the way in the front yard, so he could walk around freely. As the little monk whispered a few words to the other monks, Xu Tuzhi clearly felt that the monks who were secretly staring at him had relaxed their vigilance and stopped staring at him.
Not long after, the square-faced monk returned.
"Constable Xu, the abbot has invited you."
Xu Tuzhi revealed a satisfied smile. He pulled the weak Feng Si 'niang and followed the square-faced monk to the backyard.
