We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Xi Yu looked at them, smiled and said, "Thank you so much, masters."

However, those monks did not respond to him. They just looked at him coldly and turned to leave.

After Xi Yu and others finished eating, they found that a few monks had not come up yet, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in their hearts.

He frowned and said to the remaining monks around him: "Why haven't these monks come up yet? Is something going wrong?"

When the monks heard this, their faces instantly became very solemn, and one of them whispered: "Amitabha, I'm afraid the situation is not good."

Xi Yu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I'll go down and take a look now."

At this moment, Tuobayu hurried over and shouted anxiously: "Husband, please don't take risks! This matter has nothing to do with you!" Her eyes were full of worry and Concerned, he held Xi Yu's arms tightly with both hands.

Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Tuobayu, with a trace of determination in his eyes: "No, I can't just watch something happen to them." There was a trace of determination on his face.

Tuobayu looked at Xi Yu, a trace of helplessness and distress flashed in her eyes: "But, it's too dangerous for you to do this." Her brows were furrowed, and her tone was full of worry.

Ouyang Linlin hurried over, her face full of anxiety, her brows furrowed tightly, and she said loudly: "No, we must not let Xi Yu pass!" There was determination in her voice.

The older monk Wuyou on the side put his hands together and said softly: "Let us go over and take a look first."

There was a hint of helplessness on Xi Yu's face. He looked at Wuyou, sighed and said, "Okay, then Master Lao will be there."

Wuyou smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "Don't worry, everything will be settled." After saying that, he turned and walked forward.

Xi Yu frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine. In that case, I'd like to trouble you to go down and check first. I'll go back to the room and wait."

Wuyou clasped his hands together and replied with a smile: "Okay, donor, don't worry, if the poor monk hasn't appeared after an hour, it's not too late for you to go down."

Xi Yu sighed slightly, turned around and walked towards the guest room, his back looking a little forlorn. As he walked, he murmured to himself: "I hope everything goes well."

At this time, Ouyang Linlin closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, with a pious and solemn expression, and silently recited: "Buddha bless me, I hope everything goes well."

Tuobayu frowned and complained with dissatisfaction: "Really, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have lived here and caused so much trouble!"

Xi Yu glanced at Tuoyu Yu helplessly, shook his head, and said softly: "Okay, don't complain anymore. Things have happened. We can only wait and see." There was a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

Tuobayu pouted and snorted reluctantly, but did not continue to complain.

Ouyang Linlin still clasped her hands together and stood there quietly, staring ahead intently, as if she was having spiritual communication with Buddha.

Xi Yu watched them quietly from the side, secretly praying that everything would be safe.

At this time, a breeze blew by, gently stirring Ouyang Linlin's hair. Her eyes became more determined, as if she had found some comfort in the breeze.

Tuoba Yu saw this and brushed Ouyang Linlin's hair. Her eyes became more determined, as if she had found some comfort in the breeze.

Seeing this, Tuobayu calmed down a little. She sighed softly and murmured to herself: "I hope it can be solved smoothly this time."

Xi Yu nodded silently, a trace of worry flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Time passed by minute by second, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.

Ouyang Linlin kept her hands clasped together without relaxing at all.

Tuobayu looked at the door from time to time, expecting monk Wuyou to bring good news.

Xi Yu paced back and forth in the room, occasionally stopping and staring at the scenery outside the window, thoughtfully.

Tuobayu held her breath and stared at the door nervously. Her heartbeat seemed to be getting faster and faster with the footsteps.

Xi Yu stopped and crossed his arms, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, the door was slowly pushed open, and Monk Wuyou appeared in front of everyone.

His expression looked quite serious, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but lift.

Wuyou stepped into the basement, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

I saw the old monk struggling in pain, his face twisted and his expression painful.

When the old monk saw Wuyou, he weakly shouted: "Don't come close!" His voice was full of warning.

Wuyou calmed down, frowned and asked, "Abbott, what exactly happened?"

The old monk gasped and told what happened. There was despair and confusion in his eyes.

After Wuyou heard this, he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I want to help you out first. The bodies of the other monks will be dealt with later." He stepped closer to the old monk.

The old monk raised his hands tremblingly and said feebly: "I don't know who designed all this, and who set up the mechanisms in this tunnel."

Wuyou supported the old monk and comforted him: "Master, go out first, everything will be solved." The old monk's face was filled with grief, and tears fell down his cheeks.

Finally, with Wuyou's help, the old monk walked out of the basement with difficulty.

After taking a short rest in the guest room, Xiyu stood in the yard.

His hands clenched unconsciously, his brows knitted, and his eyes showed a trace of tension, as if his heart was shrouded in some kind of uneasiness.

After a while, he saw Wuyou supporting the old monk slowly walking over.

Xiyu hurriedly went up to him and asked anxiously: "What happened? What happened to the old monk?" His voice was full of concern.

Wuyou's face showed a painful look, he frowned, and told Xiyu what happened in a low voice.

After that, Wuyou supported the old monk into the meditation room again.

After listening to Wuyou's story, Xiyu's face turned pale instantly.

He widened his eyes, shook his head in disbelief, and muttered to himself: "How could this happen... How could this happen..." His voice was full of pain and sadness.

Wuyou looked at Xiyu and comforted him softly, "Now that things have come to this, we have to do a good job of post-processing. I have arranged for other monks to bring the bodies up." His expression was serious and firm.

Xiyu bit his lip, tears flashing in his eyes.

"These monks are innocent, they don't deserve such a fate..."

"We will do a good job for them and let them rest in peace. The most important thing now is to find out the truth of the matter." Wuyou's eyes revealed firmness and determination.

Xiyu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Wuyou, nodded and said, "I will find out the truth with you." His eyes were full of firmness.

Wuyou nodded slightly, then turned around to direct other monks to carry the bodies.

Xiyu stood quietly aside, watching the busy figures of the monks, his heart full of grief and helplessness.

His brows were furrowed, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying to restrain the pain in his heart.

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were full of sadness.

She covered her chest tightly with both hands, her lips trembling slightly, and murmured to herself: "How could this happen... It's too cruel..." There was endless grief in her voice.

Her eyes gradually became moist, and tears rolled in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any time.

Ouyang Linlin's body trembled slightly, she bit her lips, and tried to calm herself down.

She walked to Xiyu and whispered: "We must find the murderer and avenge those dead monks." Her eyes were full of determination and anger.

Xiyu turned to look at Ouyang Linlin and nodded.

"Well, we will."

Ouyang Linlin took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What should we do now?"

Xiyu thought about it and replied: "Wait for Wuyou to arrange it first, and then we will investigate this matter together."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Xiyu's idea.

Her eyes were fixed on the busy Wuyou and other monks, and she prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that they would be safe.

Xiyu stood quietly aside, frowning, as if thinking about something.

Ouyang Linlin turned to look at him and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Xiyu came back to his senses, looked at Ouyang Linlin and said, "I'm wondering who the mastermind is and why he is so cruel to these monks."

A trace of fear flashed in Ouyang Linlin's eyes, "Could it be..." She hesitated.

Xiyu hurriedly asked, "What is it? What did you think of?"

Ouyang Linlin shook her head, "I'm not sure, it's just a guess."

Xiyu frowned and asked, "Anyway, tell me, maybe it can provide us with some clues."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lower lip and said softly, "I just think that this matter may not be as simple as it seems. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."

Xiyu nodded and said thoughtfully, "You make sense. We can't take it lightly."

Ouyang Linlin's eyes revealed a trace of worry.

"So what should we do now?"

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "Let's investigate secretly first, don't alert the enemy. At the same time, we must also pay attention to our own safety."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After a while, Xi Yu walked to the old monk and said firmly: "Master, I want to go down and investigate. I can't let those monks die in vain." His eyes were firm and serious.

The old monk frowned and shook his head.

"Donor, this matter has basically been confirmed to have nothing to do with you. You should leave quickly and don't get involved in it again."

Xi Yu straightened up and said solemnly: "Master, I can't just leave like this. I want to find the truth." His eyes revealed an unyielding light.

The old monk sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, since the donor insists on doing so, then let's go."

At this time, Tuoba Yu said: "In that case, then I will go down with you. One more person means more strength." Her voice was sonorous and powerful.

Ouyang Linlin said hurriedly: "I want to go too!"

Tuoba Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin, shook his head and said: "You'd better not go. After all, you are just a weak woman. It's too dangerous down there."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip and said unwillingly: "I don't want to be a useless person. I also want to do something for the dead monks."

Xi Yu comforted: "You stay up there and help us keep an eye on the surrounding situation. You are also helping."

Ouyang Linlin nodded and stopped talking.

In this way, Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu cautiously entered the underground passage.

There is a damp atmosphere in the passage, which makes people feel depressed and uneasy.

Xi Yu's face was a little pale. He looked around nervously and said softly: "It feels very dangerous here. Otherwise, I should go in alone." There was a trace of hesitation in his voice.

Tuobayu patted Xi Yu on the shoulder and said calmly: "Don't worry, I know martial arts and can protect myself and you. I must accompany you." His eyes were firm and confident.

Xi Yu looked at Tuobayu and felt a little more at ease.

"Okay, let's go together."

Tuobayu nodded slightly and took the lead to step forward.

Xi Yu followed closely behind Tuobayu, his eyes full of vigilance, paying attention to the movements around him.

Tuobayu looked back at Xi Yu and said softly: "Be careful and follow me closely."

"Yeah, I will."

As the two continued to walk forward, the passage became darker and darker, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Beads of sweat broke out on Xi Yu's forehead, and his breathing became a little rapid.

Tuobayu noticed Xi Yu's nervousness, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

At this moment, Wuyou's anxious shout suddenly came from behind.

"Did you bring the fire seals?" Wuyou's voice echoed in the passage.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu suddenly stopped and looked shocked.

Xi Yu patted his head and said in annoyance: "Oh, we only thought about coming in, but we ignored the fire certificate!"

The worry-free voice came again.

"I brought it to you!"

After a while, Wuyou hurried over and handed the fire certificate to them.

Xiyu looked at Wuyou gratefully.

"Thanks to you, otherwise we would be in trouble."

"You're welcome. The donor is doing things for us, so we should take care of each other."

After that, Wuyou turned around and left. Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu looked at each other and continued to move forward cautiously.

The two of them soon came to the place where several monks died.

There were still some blood stains on the ground, which looked particularly dazzling in the darkness.

Xi Yu frowned and said softly: "Looking at the blood stains, the situation must have been tragic at that time."

Tuobayu squatted down and looked around carefully.

"There don't seem to be any other clues here."

Xiyu nodded.

"Let's look for it again, maybe we can find some clues."

They searched slowly along the bloodstains, not missing any detail.

Xi Yu sometimes lowered his head in deep thought, and sometimes raised his head to observe his surroundings, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Tuoba Yu always remained vigilant and paid attention to the movements around him.

At this time, Hai She passed the temple gate with heavy steps and a tired look.

Her face was pale, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her lips were a little purple.

The servant Shuang'er on the side saw this and asked with concern: "Madam, how do you feel? If you feel uncomfortable, let's find a place to rest."

Haishe nodded slightly and said feebly: "Well, I am indeed a little tired. Let's find a place to rest."

Shuang'er looked around, pointed at the temple and said, "Madam, why don't we just rest in this temple for a while?"

Hai She looked at the temple and frowned.

"Is it okay here? Is it inconvenient?"

Shuang'er quickly said: "Madam, you are not feeling well, it is important to rest first. We will just stop for a while, there should be no problem."

Haishe nodded.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

After a while, Shuang'er came to the door of the temple and said softly: "Hello, master, we are passing by here. My wife is feeling a little unwell and can't walk anymore. I hope to stay one night in your temple. Is it convenient? There was pleading in her tone and anxiety in her eyes.

The monk at the door replied: "Donor, I'm really sorry. There have been some changes in the temple recently, and it is temporarily inconvenient to receive guests. Please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Shuang'er hurriedly said: "Master, you see that my wife is really unwell. If she continues on her journey, I am afraid it will become more serious. Please be accommodating."

The young monk looked at Haishe, sighed softly, and said, "That's fine, I'll go talk to the abbot."

After a while, the young monk came back and said to Shuang'er: "Donor, the abbot agreed to let you stay one night. However, the temple is simple, so I hope you don't mind." There was a hint of relief in his tone.

Shuang'er thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, master, and thank you, abbot."

The two people soon came to a room.

Shuang'er helped Haishe take off her coat and helped her get on the bed and lie down.

Haishe's face showed exhaustion, his eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Shuang'er looked at Hai She's peaceful sleeping face and said softly: "Madam, please have a good rest."

After settling in Haishe, Shuang'er stood in the room and looked around.

She felt that this temple was particularly strange, and there was a tense atmosphere surrounding it.

Thinking of the incident that the monk had just said, Shuang'er became increasingly uneasy.

I don't know what happened to them here. I hope there won't be any danger.

At this moment, Song Shuwen stood quietly outside, frowning slightly, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Xiaohong came out of the toilet and walked to Song Shuwen's side.

Song Shuwen sighed softly and said with emotion: "Although I know medical skills, the current trouble is really difficult to solve."

Xiaohong smiled and comforted him: "Dr. Song, you don't have to be so sad. There will always be a way to solve the problem. Don't worry too much." Her eyes were full of determination.

Song Shuwen looked at Xiaohong and said with a wry smile: "That being said, I still feel uneasy."

Shuang'er's eyes lit up immediately. This old man knows medical skills, so should he let Madam see him? (End of this chapter)
