Suddenly, at that moment, the young man behind Zhang Dexin took a few steps forward. He had a handsome face, but his gaze was somber, and his pale skin gave him a somewhat sickly appearance.
He walked straight towards me, his steps light; even with the many shards of stone and dry wood on the ground, his footsteps made no sound, giving the impression of snow falling silently.
I was carrying a box on my back and thought he was interested in it, so I protected the Wooden Box. However, to my surprise, when he approached, he stared directly into my eyes.
He held my gaze for several seconds. Feeling uncomfortable under his scrutiny and fearing he might notice something, I asked, "Is there something you need?" My eyes had already shifted away.
At that moment, Wang Wei stepped in front of me and shouted in a loud voice, "What are you looking at? My nephew already has a wife!"
Damn it, what does this idiot Wang Wei think I am?
Both Wang Wei and I knew the secret of my eyes; it was just that this person seemed rather strange. If he noticed any flaws, who knows what trouble could arise?
With Wang Wei causing such a commotion, the man stepped back. Zhang Dexin then came forward to smooth things over, saying, "This is a friend of mine, Chen San." Zhang Dexin's introduction was very straightforward—just two pieces of information: friend and Chen San.
However, after Chen San glanced at me, Zhang Dexin also looked at me with suspicion. But I guessed he couldn't discern anything either. Infatuated Zhang Jie.
Being so young yet able to be friends with Zhang Dexin surely meant he had some skills. Moreover, even Wang Wei sensed something was off about him.
I took a deep breath; when Chen San looked at me earlier, I did feel a bit flustered.
Zhang Dexin chuckled awkwardly and said, "Saning, this treasure I mentioned last time is the High Monk's Sarira. Legend has it that there are nine Sariras. If we obtain one of them, you can definitely suppress the Yin Qi within you."
I thought to myself that if this thing were so easy to get, why would he involve me? But I kept silent for now; Wang Wei and Zhang Dexin had their grudges. So Wang Wei said, "There are nine in total; you're only giving my nephew one? What about the other eight?"
At this point, Zhang Dexin clearly lost interest in Wang Wei. A flicker of annoyance crossed his face but vanished quickly.
At that moment, Ke'er whispered in my ear, "Husband, the place ahead is very dangerous, and we absolutely cannot hand over the Wooden Box."
I nodded and glanced at Ke'er.
Unbeknownst to her, I could see her. She blinked her big watery eyes at me, looking incredibly cute.
"Saning," Jianjian called out to me, then moved closer. At this, Ke'er shot a glare at Jianjian, causing her to shrink back in fright.
However, Ke'er's eyes soon turned into crescent moons, seemingly pleased with Jianjian's reaction, and then she beckoned Jianjian to come over.
Only then did Jianjian dare to approach.
Zhang Dexin was momentarily choked by Wang Wei's words, his expression not looking very good.
Jianjian walked over and said to me, "Saning, I have a feeling that Mom will come looking for me tonight."
I looked at Jianjian as she spoke, finding it hard to believe because her mother had threatened to kill her, yet she still called out for her.
I felt a bit confused.
I said to Jianjian, "Don't be afraid; we will all be by your side, especially Zhang Fatty. He will always protect you."
Jianjian looked at me with a somewhat aggrieved expression and finally nodded.
Ke'er was already glaring from the side, but she couldn't reveal herself now.
Seeing Ke'er's expression made me want to laugh. Zhang Dexin was in a standoff with Wang Wei. After a moment, Zhang Dexin said, "Right now Sarira isn't even ready yet. Let's talk when it's done. I'm in the antique business; that thing is valuable. If Saning needs money when it’s ready, I’ll give it. If he wants Sarira, then we can redistribute."
As the conversation reached this point, it seemed they had come to an agreement.
At that moment, a cold breeze swept through, and Fatty approached Jianjian, saying, "Jianjian, I will never let anyone hurt you." His gaze was filled with emotion.
I couldn't help but shudder at his words; just earlier, Fatty had called us sour.
Chen San remained silent, like a mute, not uttering a word from start to finish.
"The dilapidated temple is about five hundred meters ahead. Let's head over there first," Zhang Dexin said. After speaking, he called for Fatty to follow him, but Fatty refused.
However, there was indeed something eerie about this place. In my line of sight, Wandering Souls began to appear. In the darkness of night, these Wandering Souls seemed completely unaware of their surroundings, drifting aimlessly. Yet the Wandering Souls here felt different from those in other places; they seemed somewhat "malevolent."
I struggled to find a better term to describe it, but it was as if these Wandering Souls carried a sinister aura.
After some debate between Wang Wei and Zhang Dexin, Wang Wei came over to me and said, "Saning, that person named Chen San is truly ominous; we must be cautious of him."
I asked Wang Wei, "What exactly is hidden here that could take lives?"
Wang Wei's face showed signs of fear as he whispered something unbelievable in my ear: he had died of fright.
I was taken aback; shadows crept into my mind at the thought that someone could die from fear. I couldn't help but gasp as I noticed Wang Wei's complexion had changed.
Chen San led the way, followed by Zhang Dexin, then Fatty, and finally Jianjian came after them.
The area was overgrown with weeds since no one had visited for years, making it look exceptionally desolate. Zhang Dexin had prepared tools like flashlights in advance.
So even though there was no moon tonight, we could still proceed without much trouble.
Chen San wielded a knife, relentlessly chopping through the weeds ahead. The five hundred meters was not far, and we quickly approached the site. However, as I got closer, my expression changed to one of distress.
Human bones appeared on the ground, no longer white but turned black.
Although the slope ahead had been burned in the seventies, a "framework" remained, its general shape still visible, though charred black.
At the same time, more things emerged in my vision.
I couldn't help but ask Wang Wei, "What scared you to death back then?"
Wang Wei lowered his voice and replied, "It was a Vengeful Spirit. It was terrifying, but I actually suspect I wasn't scared to death; I think someone plotted against me. No matter how frightening it was, it shouldn't have killed me."
Hearing this made me feel somewhat reassured. If Wang Wei had truly died from sheer fright, then that Vengeful Spirit must have been incredibly terrifying.
The world in my eyes was not black at that moment; instead, light spots were emerging. It was strange, but then I saw a flicker of firelight.
The firelight drifted toward us.
My first instinct was that it was ghost fire. Just as I was about to warn everyone to be careful, Chen San stepped forward and directly repelled the ghost fire.
Seeing my reaction, Wang Wei couldn't help but remind me, "Saning, you're not the same Saning anymore."
I understood that Wang Wei was trying to remind me; perhaps it was because I hadn't fully adapted yet.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
Turning my head, I suddenly realized Ke'er was missing. I wanted to call out for her but felt it would be inappropriate. So I remained silent.
"Zhang Dexin, call me over," I said.
I responded with a sound, and Wang Wei followed me like a shadow.
Zhang Dexin grabbed the flashlight and pointed it at the dilapidated temple, saying, "Saning, the Sarira is inside the temple. You can go get it now."
I was stunned after hearing this. What do you mean I can go get it now? Aren't you going? Do you want me to go alone?
I glared at Zhang Dexin, refusing to take a step forward. After a moment, I said, " Uncle Zhang, are you really going to let me go alone? I did my homework beforehand and heard that this temple is a bit sinister."
Zhang Dexin looked at me and said, "That's all just rumors, nonsense. Saning, do you think a place where a High Monk attained enlightenment would be sinister? Besides, I'm not sending you alone; I'll have Chen San go with you, and you can also bring your Menstruation along."
I thought to myself that Zhang Dexin was trying to wriggle out of this quickly.
Wang Wei was furious and said, "Why aren't you going?"
Zhang Dexin sighed and replied, "The High Monk left behind a five-character mantra that says only those with fate may enter. I've tried before; I'm not one of the fated ones, so I can't go in."
Wang Wei and I exchanged glances because Wang Wei knew the High Monk's message was: those with fate may obtain.
But Zhang Dexin had twisted those words; he clearly wanted to trick me. Just then, a voice echoed in my ear: Husband, go in.
