A trace of panic appeared on Mrs. Sun's face, "That cry came from the temple!"
"Really? But I heard from people around me that the sound came from around here."
"That's because they don't want to believe that there is something strange in the temple. The gods that people here have worshiped for so many years actually don't exist at all."
Li Huaiyun felt that what this woman said made sense.
"It is indeed not a god that allows you to serve him. By the way, have you seen that person?"
Mrs. Sun immediately blushed and lowered her head, "It's too... it's too dark! I can't see anything."
"Then did you touch it on your body? Are there any characteristics, such as..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Yuan slapped him hard on the head, "Hey! How can you, a grown man, ask this question? You don't care about the situation at that time!"
Li Huaiyun immediately realized that he was being abrupt, and explained awkwardly, "Don't I want to find out the culprit? Wuxin! Wuxin!"
"roll!"
Mu Yuan comforted Mr. Sun a few words.
Sun continued to explain, "There are not many people living in this area. The sound last night stopped after a while. Those people insisted that it came from my family. Their purpose was obvious!"
Li Huaiyun felt that this inference was more credible, "Then there are several empty houses nearby. How come no one lives in them?"
"These empty houses are because they are near my home. When they saw me, a Kefu person, they thought it was unlucky, so they moved to other places."
"That's right!" Li Huaiyun nodded, stood up, and pushed the chair away, making a clang when it touched the ground.
He looked carefully at the house again. This simple and old house had a thick layer of dust on the window paper, quilts, and other household items, and there were several footprints on the ground.
Mu Yuan raised her head and looked above her head. She saw a large bamboo basket hanging on the beam with red paper on it.
"Why is the basket hanging up there?"
Mrs. Sun raised her head slightly and said, "There are my husband's clothes inside. A fortune teller said that this can dispel the negative energy in the room. He also gave me some talismans and asked me to put them in the basket. He said it was okay. Keep me safe."
Li Huaiyun asked curiously, "Then the manager forced you to serve the so-called gods. Do you still believe in Mr. Divination?"
"It's different. The steward is responsible for the construction and management of the temple. The fortune teller just passed by by chance."
"Then he said that I was suffering from bad luck and hoped that he could help me escape from it."
Li Huaiyun raised his head and looked at the basket, "But now your situation has not improved much."
"Perhaps without Mr. Divination, you might not have seen me."
Maybe! This fortune teller sounds a bit special. I wonder where he learned Taoism.
Li Huaiyun didn't have much to say about this, and warned, "Don't be too superstitious about this kind of people in the future. Some people fabricate facts with complete malice for their own benefit, dig holes for others to jump into, and maybe even sit with the stewards of the temple." A ship, specially formed to deceive you!"
Sun immediately denied it, "No! Mr. Divination, many of the things he said are very reasonable!"
Mu Yuan also agreed with Li Huaiyun, "I agree with his statement. The fortune teller was just helping you when you were down. Maybe he was colluding with the management. They just wanted to possess you and catch you to satisfy them. Other people’s selfish desires.”
Ms. Sun lowered her head and did not explain anything. She still did not believe that Mr. Divination would do such a thing. "This...this is impossible!"
"Whether it is true or not, we will know when the time comes."
"Let's stop here today!" Li Huaiyun looked out the door, "We have other things to do, and we will come to you early tomorrow morning."
He suddenly thought of something and asked again, "By the way! Did you see anyone else knocking on the door last night?"
Sun shook her head, "No! After the sound stopped, it became quiet outside."
"Okay, I know!"
"Then sister, you have a good night's rest. We will come find you early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Mrs. Sun nodded slightly, still looking miserable.
They came to the gate.
Li Huaiyun clasped his hands in his fists and said to Mrs. Sun, "Madam, let's take our leave now. We will come here tomorrow to help you denounce injustice. If the people here are still so stubborn, we will demolish the temple. !”
"Kyoto does not need a false god who only pays attention to worship and does not protect everyone's safety."
The sadness on Mrs. Sun's face dissipated a little, her eyes were full of tears, and with a crying voice, she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the two of them.
"Thank you both for standing up for this woman. I will remember your kindness in the future."
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan reached out at the same time to pull up the kneeling woman. He felt that the arms were light and weightless at all. What was even more strange was that although it was autumn, the lady's body was slightly cold.
"There is no need to make such a big gesture," he said.
Mu Yuan said that if she encounters injustice in the future, she can go to the Demon Slayer Division to find her, and she will definitely not let anyone bully the Sun family.
It seems that Mu Yuan really sympathizes with this woman. Are their experiences similar? No, isn't she a relative of the emperor? Who else could bully her?
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan watched Sun slowly close the door. In the crack of the door, he saw the talisman floating in the wind. But at the next moment, his chest beat violently because he inadvertently saw that The manhole cover moved upward slightly.
He calmed down his violently beating heart. Was it my imagination?
Seeing his dazed look, Mu Yuan pushed him and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you also thinking about this widow's body?"
Li Huaiyun came to his senses and followed Mu Yuan to the other side of the alley, "I'm thinking about something more important!"
"Chastity!"
"Yes! Your virginity!"
"Rogue!" Mu Yuan glared at him.
Li Huaiyun waved his hand, "I won't tell you these useless things. Do you think the room is a little strange?"
"Strange? Apart from the strong Yin energy, there is nothing else?"
Li Huaiyun raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, "Look at the area around. There are willow trees planted there. They are full of yin energy. Moreover, have you noticed that in the yard of the house, there is a well with talismans carved around it?" , there is a yellow talisman on the manhole cover, do you think it’s suspicious?”
"It's quite suspicious, but didn't Madam Sun say that a fortune teller came to her home, so it's not normal to have these things."
"The fortune teller must have discovered something in this house!"
"Then it just depends on luck. If you are lucky enough to meet this person, you will know the specific situation."
Li Huaiyun wanted to go back and ask why the well had a talisman posted on it, but now that it was out, it was not good to disturb others' rest because of this problem, so he walked straight to the alley, and Mu Yuan also Followed
At this time, it was already late at night, and the watchman had just called out the hour. The moonlight was hazy, and the alley was dark.
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan walked in the alley with towering walls on both sides, "Why don't we go to the temple to see it."
Mu Yuan frowned, "It's getting very late, so it's not appropriate to go to that kind of place to investigate."
"Are you scared?"
"What? Say it again, when did I get scared? It's just that at this time, the temples are closed and no one is around. You sneak in in case you are discovered."
In fact, Li Huaiyun himself didn't really want to go. It was relatively dangerous to go there in the dark. If there was something there, it would be a big deal.
He just mentioned it casually to see Mu Yuan's reaction. Apart from denying her fear, the woman was fine in other aspects.
Mu Yuan asked, "Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"My boxing skills have been improved for a long time. No matter how many monsters come, I will be beaten to death."
"Tch! It's blowing quite loudly! It's already midnight. It's a bit difficult for you to find the temple here. You can't ask anyone yet. I suggest you come here early tomorrow morning."
Li Huaiyun pondered for a moment, "You are right, then come back tomorrow!"
It was dark at this time, and the geographical location here was complicated. Therefore, it was a bit difficult to find, let alone the temple, out in the dark.
"From which direction did we come in?" Li Huaiyun looked around. The surrounding area was completely dark and he couldn't see the road at all.
Mu Yuan picked up a hexagonal box from his waist, and then clicked the button in the middle with his finger. The top of the hexagonal box suddenly sank, and a bead rose up.
The bead emitted a faint white light, and then the bead broke away from the hexagonal box and floated in front of the two people.
"Let's go!" Mu Yuan said, walking towards the bead. After a while, the white light emitted by the bead became brighter and brighter.
Li Huaiyun caught up with Mu Yuan who was walking in front of him, "What is this?"
"For lighting!"
“What are these beads made of and why do they glow?”
"A kind of horn on the top of the monster's head. Now I put the horn into beads and control it with a hexagonal box! This way I can see the way around it."
"Since it's so bright, we can go directly to the temple!"
Mu Yuan explained, "This thing can't last long. What if we don't find it and the thing stops lighting up?"
"That's true! Just tomorrow!"
Relying on the brightness of the bead, the two found the streets of Kyoto. The moment they left the alley, a miserable scream suddenly rang out.
The sound made Li Huaiyun tremble. He turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, "That's the cry!"
"Can we still go in?"
Mu Yuan shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work anymore. The beads have lost their light. We have to wait until the next time and they will be exposed to the sun."
The shrill voice still continued, making people's hair stand on end.
"Did it really come from that temple?"
"Not necessarily!" Mu Yuan also looked inside.
Li Huaiyun glanced at her and said, "Mu Yuan, do you also think there is something wrong with that woman?"
"A bit, but I can't tell what's wrong! Maybe we'll know the truth right away tomorrow! Once there's a problem, she can't escape."
"Then let's go!" Li Huaiyun said.
They left this place and walked towards the Demon Slayer Division. They separated midway, and Mu Yuan continued back to the Demon Slayer Division.
And he was ready to return to his house, but he played a trick here. In fact, he didn't want to go back quickly, but wanted to go to the Jiaofang Division.
Now is not the perfect opportunity to meet the two oirans. He also needs to gather his energy again in order to break through to the refinement realm.
