387 A Tree With Spirituality

In fact, it was all because of Su Meng’s slow progress. In order to make her feel more relaxed, Wei Ting had been helping Su Meng for the second half of the journey.

He wanted to carry Su Meng on his back, but she refused. Su Meng even wanted to reject Wei Ting’s help, but she accepted it when she was too tired.

Perhaps due to its location, the temple was not big, and there were not many people who came to offer incense. From the moment she walked in, Su Meng only saw two monks sweeping the floor and a devotee.

“Amitabha, is there anything I can help you with?” One of the monks who was sweeping the floor saw Su Meng and Wei Ting. He put down his broom and walked in front of the two of them, putting his palms together.

Su Meng returned the monk’s greeting and asked, “May I ask if you know of Tang Feng?”

“Tang Feng?” The monk thought for a moment and then shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it.”

“What about Chu Xing?” Su Meng continued to ask.

“I’ve never heard of it.” The monk continued to shake his head.

Seeing that none of the monks knew anything, Su Meng was put in a difficult position. Tang Feng had set up the formation in the temple. Although the temple was not big, she did not know where it was. She could not just look everywhere, could she? If she searched everywhere, she would be disrespecting the gods and Buddha.

“Then, Master, when visitors come to offer incense, where do they go to worship?” Su Meng couldn’t think of any other way. She could only go to all the places that the visitors could go.

Although there were few visitors here, it was not as if there were none. If Xiao Feng had really set up a formation here, it must be a remote place, otherwise, it would be discovered.

She could first go to the place with the least visitors and then slowly look for it.

“You can go to all the temples to pay your respects. In addition, there’s also a place where the Kasaya is located.” The monk turned around and pointed to the innermost part of the temple. “There is an ancient tree inside. The hall next to the ancient tree is where the devotees pray for blessings and return their wishes. You can also go there, almsgiver.”

“There are many boxes in the hall. They are all placed there when you pray. If you want to pray, you can go there. It’s just that that place is specially prepared for devotees, and we are forbidden from entering. Therefore, I can’t lead the way for you, but you can go there yourself.”

The main hall? A box? Monks can’t enter?

Hearing this, Su Meng suddenly seemed to understand something.

She smiled and bowed to the monk. “Thank you, Master. Let’s go there now.”

The monk nodded and picked up the broom again to continue sweeping.

“You suspect that he placed the formation there?” Wei Ting guessed what Su Meng was thinking and asked.

Su Meng nodded. “The temple is different from other places. It’s a very sacred place. No filth is allowed here. Some skilled monks can feel the existence of evil formations when they get close.”

“Since monks can’t go there and it’s confidential, he’ll definitely put it there. Who would have thought that someone would do such a thing in the temple?”

“Indeed.” Wei Ting nodded and asked, “The visitors can go there and put their things there as they wish. Aren’t they afraid that someone with ulterior motives will do something?”

Su Meng laughed and shook her head. “Who would have the time to come to this temple, especially on the way here? Not everyone has the same stamina as you.”

The temple wasn’t big, and the main hall that the monk had mentioned wasn’t far either. The two of them arrived after a few words.

Just as the monk had said, there was a big tree here that required three adults to hold hands to hold it. It was unknown if it had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, but it was luxuriant at the moment. However, although the tree was very thick, it was not very tall. There were many red ropes tied to it, and they were all very long, almost hanging to the ground.

Perhaps they were afraid that someone would do something to the tree, so they made a fence with wooden boards about a meter high below, protecting the tree in the middle.

“The mayflies on this tree have already gained sentience.” Su Meng stood under the tree and looked up. The sun shone through the leaves and into her eyes.

Su Meng’s vision was blurry. She seemed to see a cloud of transparent mist floating out of the tree and disappearing into the air.

Wei Ting stood at the side and looked at Su Meng. He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but Su Meng was completely different from before. Her entire body was emitting a warm and gentle light.

The scene at the moment was too beautiful, and Wei Ting could not bear to break it, so he did not call Su Meng.

Su Meng stood quietly under the tree for a while, then she suddenly turned to Wei Ting and asked, “How long have I been standing here?”

Wei Ting looked at the time and replied, “About five minutes.”

“It’s really amazing. I didn’t expect to stand for so long,” Su Meng murmured.
