Huang Ran also felt that he was too nervous. With Zhang Yan watching over the temple, he told her to wake him up if there was anything. He then lied down.
Meanwhile, in One Finger Monastery.
“Master, they left to report us. What do we do?” asked Red Boy.
Fangzheng said calmly, “What do we do? Just run…”
Red Boy: “…”
Salted Fish crawled out of Fangzheng’s tattered monk robes and said, “Master, we can’t run for the rest of our lives, right? Besides, without money, eating in the future is still a problem.”
Squirrel added, “That’s right. Master, you have to think of something, right?”
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, “It’s not that there’s no solution…”
“What’s the solution?” Squirrel asked.
“Play hide-and-seek…”
“What do you mean?” Red Boy and company were dumbfounded.
Fangzheng called them over and whispered a few words. They were instantly dumbfounded.
“Master, this will do?”
Fangzheng spread out his hands and said, “Why not?”
“However, Master, our landing spot doesn’t seem to be controllable,” said Red Boy.
Fangzheng shook his head. “Although it’s random, it’s not completely out of control. In short, I have my own ways. Alright, prepare…”
When the few fellows heard this, they immediately smiled evilly.
Late into the night, the stars twinkled in the sky. Huang Ran, who had gotten up after a nap, sat by the bonfire and roasted some sausages. Zhang Yan was reading a book as they chatted from time to time.
Zhang Yan said, “Huang Ran, sleep well. You keep watch at night. Don’t panic about squirrels or monkeys…”
Huang Ran said, “Don’t worry. Since you’re with me, I won’t let you suffer. Sleep well. I’ll be by your side tonight. I guarantee you won’t be alarmed…”
Just as he said that, Huang Ran saw a shadow flash behind Zhang Yan!
“Who is it!?” Huang Ran suddenly stood up and shouted.
Unfortunately, even though there was some starlight deep in the mountain, it was not enough for him to see the situation more than ten meters away. All he could see was something burrow into the grass.
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Yan was also shocked. She quickly stood up and turned around. At the same time, she held a shovel in her hand.
Huang Ran said, “I saw something small running behind you. It might be a rat or wild rabbit.”
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes and said, “What’s there to be surprised about? Look at how agitated you are. I thought there was a tiger… You scared me to death.”
Just as he said that, he heard someone speaking from afar. It was as though they were praying and chanting scriptures…
The voice came with the wind, the volume varying. They couldn’t make out of it, but it kept ringing in their ears. It was like a cat’s paw scratching at their hearts…
“What’s that sound?” Zhang Yan was afraid.
Huang Ran stepped forward, trembling. “It should be… a monk… chanting the scriptures.”
Zhang Yan said, “This chanting of scriptures… is too frightening. Also, why are you trembling? With those muscles of yours, didn’t you say that you can fight a tiger?”
When Huang Ran heard this, he realized that he had embarrassed himself in front of the beauty. He quickly puffed out his chest and said, “I’m just teasing you. How can I be afraid? Let’s go, I’ll take you to see what it is. No matter who it is, I guarantee you that I’ll beat him so badly that even his mother can’t recognize him!”
Zhang Yan didn’t know that Huang Ran was pretending, but after Huang Ran said that, her heart felt much more settled. “Then let’s go take a look?”
When Huang Ran heard that Zhang Yan really wanted to take a look, his legs turned a little weak. However, having bragged, he needed to bite the bullet. Otherwise, when he returned, he could forget about chasing chicks…
Therefore, Huang Ran patted his chest and said, “Let’s go take a look!”
Hence, the two of them lit a torch each and walked in the direction of the voice.
They passed through the grass, circled around a boulder, and walked for a while until they were almost at the edge of the cliff. They saw a protruding rock that looked like sharp fangs! In front of the rock was a group of small animals kneeling!
The two of them took a closer look… At the next moment, their hairs stood on end!
Zhang Yan instinctively wanted to cry out, but Huang Ran reacted at the crucial moment. He covered Zhang Yan’s mouth and hushed her.
Zhang Yan nodded, indicating that she understood. Only then did Huang Ran let go.
The two of them took a closer look and saw a bunch of weasels, old trees, rabbits, and other wild animals standing on their hind legs. Their front claws were placed together and they kept moving up and down as if they were paying respect to something…
Animals paying respects to Heaven and Earth? This was enough to make one panic.
In addition to the row of weasels in front, the various rumors about the weasel that had to do with the supernatural, the two of them couldn’t help but tremble. However, due to their curiosity, they didn’t have any intention of running away. Instead, they just stood there and watched.
At the same time, they realized that the small animals did not seem to care about them and allowed them to watch by the side with torches in their hands.
“Why are they ignoring us?” Zhang Yan asked softly.
Huang Ran said with a sobbing tone, “What? You want them not to ignore us?”
Zhang Yan said, “I just feel that this is abnormal.”
Huang Ran said, “Why is it abnormal?”
“Don’t you think this is the calm before the hunt? Perhaps they don’t want to alert the enemy. Instead, they’re waiting for the ghosts to descend before they start the meal…” Zhang Yan said.
Huang Ran shivered and said, “Why don’t we go back?”
Just as Zhang Yan was about to nod, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance!
The two of them could see clearly that the figure was getting closer and closer. The two of them were so frightened that they didn’t dare say a word. On careful look…
Zhang Yan and Huang Ran covered their mouths. They knew that person. He was the young monk from the monastery—Jingxin!
The two exchanged looks and did not say anything, but they both understood what each other meant. “Why is he here?”
The young monk looked at the two and pressed his palms together. He smiled and said, “Patrons, you haven’t left yet?”
“We are leaving now…” Huang Ran hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Yan and said as if he had seen a ghost.
The young monk shook his head and said, “Since you are here, don’t be in a rush to leave. It’s time to witness a miracle…”
“Miracle?” The two exchanged looks, not understanding what the young monk meant.
The young monk looked up into the sky and said, “You will know when the moon comes out.”
Huang Ran and Zhang Yan wanted to leave, but they were very curious about what the young monk was getting at. The scene before them was just too shocking, completely shattering their world view. They felt that if they were to leave just like that, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives. Since that was the case, why not take a gamble?
Hence the two of them did not leave…
The young monk looked up at the moon and said, “Weren’t the two of you constantly mentioning One Finger Monastery?”
The two subconsciously nodded…
