Chapter 187: The Missing Monk

"Could it be that they are out on business?" Feng Wuyi said suspiciously,

"There are twenty or thirty monks in the entire Ling Temple, how can they all go out, and if they really go out, someone should see it. And the monks never returned. ”

The shopkeeper is right, so many people are leaving, it's not small, how can no one find out?

"And then?"

"Then this spiritual temple was empty, and when this happened, there were still people who went to worship, and then after a long time, no one went."

"No one has gone to it, at most it is deserted, but little second brother, you just said that it is haunted, what is going on?" Lu Wan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Alas, listen to me, after the spiritual temple was abandoned, it wasn't completely uninhabited, some beggars would go there to stay, and some poor children who came from other places would also go to spend the night."

"But one day, there was a sleeper who was woken up by urine in the middle of the night, and staggered to the back to go to the toilet, but he heard a faint cry, and the cry was getting louder and louder, and he was scared to death."

"Who would cry in the temple in the middle of the night?"

"People? It's a ghost baby! The shopkeeper's expression was horrified, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Ghost Baby?" Chun Xing hugged Lu Juan's arm, wishing that her whole face was hidden behind Lu Juan's shoulder, revealing a pair of round eyes, afraid and wanting to listen.

"No, not only that one, but several beggars who stayed overnight have also encountered it. But the strange thing is that no matter how people look in that temple, they can't find any trace of a baby, and there is no newborn in the vicinity, so it can only be a ghost baby. ”

On the way back to the courtyard, Lu Juan has been pondering, although he has heard it once, he has gained something new from listening to the description of the shopkeeper.

Previously, the dead guard said that their task was to put the baby on the lotus platform in the temple. And according to the first person who stayed overnight, he heard the cry of a baby while using the toilet in the backyard.

Is it possible that these missing babies were not taken out of the temple, but that there was a secret room inside the temple for the babies?

Thinking about it this way, even if the monks who suddenly disappeared were all dead, they needed a place to hide their bodies.

If you want to find out about the spiritual temple, you have to go to the scene to see.

Feng Wuyi looked at Lu Juan from time to time, and Lu Wan's preoccupied appearance made him feel strange. From the time Lu Juan asked the temple, he felt that it was abnormal.

When he returned to the other courtyard, the steward greeted him and told Lu Juan that Mo Xie had gone to the military camp in Qiongzhou and might not come back at night, so that the princess did not have to wait for him.

Mo Xie didn't come back at night to be with her, she naturally had no objection, and when she returned to the room, Lu Wan was still thinking about the Ling Temple, but she saw Feng Wuyi looking at her with a curious face.

"What are you looking at? Watch out for eyeballs falling off. Lu Wan glanced at him.

"Master, why didn't I know you still believed in Buddhism?" Feng Wuyi's inquiring eyes couldn't have been more obvious.

"There's so much you don't know." Lu Wan said angrily.

"Master, you already know about this spiritual temple."

Seeing Feng Wuyi's ghostly appearance, Lu Juan rolled his eyes.

She didn't want to hide it from him, but there were outsiders just now, only Feng Wuyi and Chun Xing were there at this time, so it didn't hurt to say it, but if Chun Xing knew that she was going to visit the Spirit Temple at night, she would definitely be worried, so it was better not to let her know.

After breaking up the spring apricots, Lu Wan followed Feng Wuyi to talk about the previous dead baby, as well as some things explained by the dead guard.
