A fear suddenly arose in my heart towards Xier. Is she deliberately creating a tense atmosphere, or is she simply unaware of it?

"Xier, what's that in your hand?"

Hearing my almost exaggerated voice, Xier seemed to have lost her excitement just now. She recovered from her shock and quickly looked at her hands, following that, I carefully observed her expression and realised that she was still calm and composed, with a face full of indifference.

What did this expression mean?

I thought to myself, if that's the case, perhaps she really didn't realize that the money in her hands was underworld money?

I could no longer hold it in, and as she fell silent, I asked again, "Xier, are you sure you have no problems with the money?"

Xier seemed to have reacted as she looked at me in shock and said, "This is just money, it's only money that everyone likes. What's the problem with that?"

Listening to her childish tone, I began to wonder if I had made a mistake.

I rubbed my eyes hard and looked at the money again.

The money stung my eyes. This time, I guaranteed that I wasn't mistaken. Those were truly underworld money. It was definitely placed right in front of me. I definitely wouldn't be wrong.

"Xier, what are you holding?"

I said frantically. If I don't say it out loud, I think I'm going to go crazy.

Only, after I had finished speaking, I realized that Xier's entire body seemed to have gone dumb, as astonishment filled her face. "First Miss, are you alright? Don't scare me, do you have a fever? "

As Xier spoke, she walked over and tried to touch my head to see if it was warm.

I got impatient. "I don't have a fever, I just think the money you have is too much of a eyesore. You said that Tathagata personally gave you all of this money? "

My mind was still full of doubts. I always felt that if I didn't figure this out, my heart wouldn't be at ease.

Xier nodded her head and said, "It was indeed given to me by Young Master Rulai, at that time I was still laughing for a long time."

However, I started to feel that it was strange, this Xier had only been here for a short time, even if she was going to pay, he wouldn't send it after just a few days, right?

There was definitely something fishy about this.

Xier suddenly thought of something and said, "Eldest Miss, I forgot that I have important things to do, I have to leave first."

While I was still in a daze, she had already disappeared.

I was left alone in a daze.

Tathagata's movements were indeed strange. There was something abnormal going on everywhere, and I felt that things were going in an unpredictable direction.

Things went far beyond my expectations. First it was warmth, then I was bitten by a cat, then I saw the coffin in the mysterious room at the buddhist hall, then it was the underworld currency in Xier's hands.

It seemed to me that one thing after another was pressing down on me so hard that I could hardly breathe.

At the same time, however, I remembered something else.

It was that before Xiao Wen left, I seemed to have received the letter that said that I was the next target, but now, I felt that everything seemed to have passed.

Yes, I am standing here.

The previous few times, I received a letter to urge me on, something would happen immediately. This time, quite a few days have passed but I haven't encountered such a situation. Could it be that the letter is fake? Or had their conspiracy failed?

I became even more agitated. The cat suddenly flashed across my mind. Could it be that the bite of a cat was an opportunity for me? I just didn't expect that I would unexpectedly be saved.

The more I think about it, the more it's like that.

Thinking about this, my subconscious thought that this matter, this series of bizarre events, must be caused by someone behind it, otherwise it wouldn't stop now. In that case, I must find out who the mastermind is as soon as possible before I can get to the bottom of this matter.

I was pleasantly surprised. I was really incredible to be able to think of such an important matter at such a crucial moment.

I think maybe there is some secret in that mysterious room in the buddhist hall?

Images appeared in my head, the sounds from the coffin, the cries for help.

I was thinking that maybe there was something odd about that room. More and more, I wanted to go back and find out.

After making up my mind, I immediately became spirited.

I don't have anyone I can trust right now, so I didn't tell anyone what I was thinking. I was just secretly preparing for it.

Three days later, I felt that the time seemed ripe, so I decided to go into that room to find out after listening to Tathagata's chant tonight.

I was a little demented by this idea of my own. I was both excited and a little complicated.

When it was finally after midnight and everyone was immersed in the scripture of Tathagata, I quietly stood up and walked into the room.

This time, I was mentally prepared. It was also because of my previous experience, so I didn't panic like last time.

The coffins seemed to be very quiet. As I got closer, I realized that the coffins were actually red in color.

It was just that in such an environment, accompanied by the dim light, it seemed to be somewhat terrified.

"Is there anyone inside?" I gently patted the coffin as I whispered.

However, after what happened last night, I was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.

What am I doing? In the middle of the night, he was alone in a room with several coffins. It was obvious that he was having a strange conversation with the coffin.

However, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. My heart hung tight, afraid that someone would suddenly emerge from the coffin.

Seeing that there was no sound from the coffin, I slapped it again, "Is there anyone here? If anyone wants to meet me, then come out and meet me. "

I was a little deranged by my own words, but since I had come, I wouldn't easily leave.

When I thought there must be no one in the coffin, there was a sudden movement, and then the top lid opened by itself, and a man jumped out.

Ah!" I cried out, startled by the sight in front of me.

Then, I saw the face of that person. She looked very familiar, and I thought that she must be in my memory. But as to who she was, I really don't have an impression of her.

That face was as pale as paper and devoid of any color. It was clearly a dead face.

After I shouted once, I felt that I wasn't that scared anymore. I unexpectedly walked a few steps forward until I was close to him. Then, I realised that person was standing there motionlessly. His eyes were dull and his mouth was white as well.

I unexpectedly patted her shoulder. I discovered that her shoulder didn't have the slightest bit of elasticity. It seemed that she was really just a corpse.

But how could a corpse jump out of a coffin on its own? Could it be a fake corpse?

It didn't make sense. If this person was really a dead person, then why did he keep staying here?

There were too many questions in my mind, but I couldn't get any valuable clues from this dead man.

As I was lost in thought, I heard a sigh.

I hastily raised my head to look at the corpse and found that her eyes had already opened.

I instantly became short of breath. "Are you a dead person or are you a living person?"

The corpse blinked, shook its head, and seemed to nod again.

I didn't understand what she was trying to say.

"Why are you here? Who put you here? Is it Tathagata? "

After I asked her this question, I felt that my question was really lacking in quality. Can she know who Tathagata is?

However, I was wrong, because when she heard the name Tathagata, her eyes unexpectedly lit up with a strange light.

This gaze and this posture was enough to recognize Tathagata.

Since she didn't speak, didn't she just express her thoughts by nodding and shaking her head? Then I'll go on.

"Did Tathagata kill you?"

The corpse shook its head and looked at me blankly.

That is to say, it wasn't Tathagata who killed her?

"Then, let me ask you, was it Grandma Hao who caused your death?"

The corpse still shook its head.

I began to get impatient. If they didn't kill her, why hadn't she been buried?

I still wanted to ask something, but I saw the corpse looking at me stupidly, so it just walked straight towards me. When it reached my side, it suddenly hugged me, and there were even some words that weren't clear from its mouth, "Qiduo, Qiduo, my Qiduo."

Qiduo?

That sounds like a name?

Did she treat me as the person called Qiduo?

But, she clearly couldn't speak just now, how did she suddenly call out such a name while hugging me?

Or could it be that she had recognized the wrong person?

I blankly let her embrace me, for a moment it was as if I had lost my whole mind.

However, it was only when I smelled the stench that I came to my senses. I hastily looked at her and discovered that her mouth was wide open.

I pushed her away quickly and took a few steps back.

She didn't chase after him, but at this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound.

The corpse seemed to have been possessed, and it immediately quieted down, closing its mouth and eyes. In short, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

She slowly turned around and walked to the coffin that belonged to her. She then laid down slowly.

Then the lid closed itself.

It's over, but I still seem to be caught up in it.

I snapped out of my daze. What was going on outside?

I wonder if Tathagata has finished chanting?

If it's over, he won't stop until he finds me. The thought of his devilish face, his fierce expression, made my heart pound.

I didn't dare to stay here any longer. I hastily opened the door to the room and walked out.

Fortunately, when I saw that the people outside still had the same expression, my heart dropped.

Just as he walked to his seat, he heard Tathagata say, "Alright, we'll end it here for today. Everyone, have you dispersed?"

It was simply a shock that was not dangerous at all!

I almost got discovered by Tathagata. As I imagined the possible consequences, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Still, I was glad I was lucky.

He could finally go back and rest. In the end, he had gained quite a bit today.
