Chapter 69

Standing in front of Chen Shuai is an old woman with a stooped figure, wrinkled cheeks, and tired eyes. She is holding a little girl with a ponytail, nestling behind the old woman, sticking out her little head, and using the water spirit Ling's eyes looked at Chen Shuai.

Chen Shuai stood there and searched for a while, but he still couldn't find any memory fragments about the old woman and the little girl. In the original memory, the two people did not appear.

"Hello, little master, I take the liberty of disturbing you. I would like to ask you, where is Lu Feng?"

Lu Feng, a strange name appeared in Chen Shuai's mind. He shook his head and then said, "I don't know Lu Feng, this benefactor. If he is a monk here, can you tell me his name?"

When the old woman heard this, she immediately showed an embarrassed smile. The wrinkles on her face stretched out and became as dry as tree bark. She only heard her say: "I forgot that Lu Feng is his common name and his Buddhist name is Xuan Wu."

Hearing this, Chen Shuai was stunned for a moment, Lu Feng is Xuan Wu?
"Who are you?" Chen Shuai asked after a while.

The old woman saw Chen Shuai's expression and guessed that Chen Shuai knew Xuan Wu, so she explained: "I am Xuan Wu's earthly wife."

"???"

A series of questions ran through Chen Shuai's mind. Xuanwu actually had a secular wife!

"May I ask, young master, where is Xuanwu?"

Seeing that Chen Shuai was silent for a long time, the old woman seemed to notice something unusual, so she asked.

After hearing this, Chen Shuai took a breath, clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, Master Xuanwu has passed away."

Hearing this, the old woman couldn't help but shake her body. Seeing this, the little girl quickly shouted: "Grandma, are you okay?"

Chen Shuai also looked at the old woman, who took a long time to calm down. She sighed heavily and said with disappointment: "After all, I was still a step late. I didn't expect that he left before me."

His words were quite helpless and full of regret.

Chen Shuai didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Be patient with decline and adapt to change."

"Little master, can you take me to his tomb?"

The old woman looked at Chen Shuai with ardent hope in her eyes. After Chen Shuai hesitated for a moment, he nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then he entered the Sutra Pavilion and asked Jiinan to take care of the second floor for him for the time being. Not long after, Chen Shuai came to the old woman and said to her: "Please follow me."

Xuanwu was buried in the tomb forest on the back mountain. Unlike Kong Xiang, who could enter the relic courtyard, the tomb forest on the back mountain was a bit far away from the Sutra Pavilion. It took the three of them more than an hour to arrive after stopping and walking.

Looking at the small grave bag with the words Xuan Wu written on it, the old woman's expression changed, and then she came to Xuan Wu's tombstone and sat down blankly. She looked at the tombstone as if she saw Xuan Wu.

Chen Shuai stood aside, not paying attention to the two people's reminiscences. Everything was so quiet.

Suddenly, he noticed a gaze falling on him. It turned out to be the little girl staring at him intently. It seemed that she noticed Chen Shuai's attention. The little girl lowered her head in fear.

Chen Shuai couldn't help but be startled when he saw this. Is my brother so scary?

"I wasted your time, little master. Thank you for what happened today."

After an unknown amount of time, the old woman stood up and came to Chen Shuai and thanked him. After hearing this, Chen Shuai shook his head and said, "Donor, you are welcome. Let's go down the mountain."

The old woman nodded, held the little girl's hand, and walked down the mountain with Chen Shuai step by step. The speed of going down the mountain was not much faster. The old woman's legs and feet were a little inconvenient and she couldn't walk too fast.

After coming down the mountain, just as Chen Shuai was about to say goodbye to the old woman, the old woman suddenly said: "Is that the pagoda over there?"

Chen Shuai looked in the direction the old woman was looking, shook his head and said, "That's Bodhi Courtyard." "Ah, hahaha, I'm getting old, and I can't tell the direction." The old woman waved her hand and smiled. After the smile stopped, he said again, "Then may I ask, young master, where is the pagoda?"

After hearing this, Chen Shuai couldn't help but look at the old woman. She was also looking at him, and her expression was serious, not like she was joking.

"Donor, people who are not from this temple cannot approach the pagoda without permission."

"I'm not getting close, I'm just taking a look, I've seen it before. Master, can you take me to see it?" the old woman said.

These words made Chen Shuai a little embarrassed, because he heard from the old woman's words that the other party was not lying. In other words, the old woman had been to the pagoda before.

It is indeed said that non-residents of the temple are not allowed to approach the pagoda, but if the old woman has been there before, it seems that there will be nothing wrong if she goes there again.

"Little master, let me go once, I beg you..."

Seeing that Chen Shuai refused to agree, the old woman actually planned to kneel in front of Chen Shuai. Chen Shuai quickly helped the old woman up and asked: "Donor, may I ask, who asked you to go before?"

"It's your husband." The old woman said Xuanwu's common name, as if she was afraid that Chen Shuai wouldn't believe it, so she added, "There is also Master Kongxiang. He knows that I come to the temple every year."

Listening to these two names, Chen Shuai fell into silence. Both Xuanwu and Kongxiang were dead.

Seeing the old woman's attitude of insisting on going, Chen Shuai finally nodded: "In that case, the donor will come with me, but the donor must remember not to get close to the pagoda."

The old woman nodded repeatedly and thanked Chen Shuai many times. The three of them walked towards the pagoda. This walk took half an hour. The old woman's breath was a little disordered, but her face was calm, her steps were strong, and the light in her eyes became more and more intense.

The three of them came to the Pagoda. Chen Shuai pointed at the tower and said, "Donor, this is the Pagoda."

He looked at the old woman. The old woman looked up with excitement, her eyes fixed on the pagoda.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shuai became more and more curious. He saw in the old woman's eyes... nostalgia.

Does she know the demon in the pagoda?

"Donor, don't go."

Suddenly, the old woman took a step forward. When Chen Shuai saw this, he quickly reached out to hold her. The old woman shook her head, then stopped and looked at the pagoda blankly.

puff.

Under Chen Shuai's gaze, the old woman suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the pagoda. While kowtowing, she tremblingly chanted: "Sister, I'm here to see you."

With that said, the old woman pulled the little girl over and said to her: "Yun'er, call Grandma quickly."

The little girl seemed to have seen this scene for the first time. She knelt on the ground and screamed: "Grandma."

Chen Shuai stared at the scene in front of him in confusion. The old woman's actions and words made him vaguely aware that things were not simple.

Ok?
Suddenly, Chen Shuai frowned. He suddenly noticed an abnormal aura overflowing from the pagoda and drifting in the direction of the old woman and the two people.

Just when Chen Shuai was about to take action secretly, he noticed a familiar feeling from this breath.

He slowly raised his head and saw a white bone umbrella looming in the air, and finally landed in front of the old woman's forehead.

The umbrella body shook up and down, then started shaking, making a buzzing sound, as if responding to the old woman.
