Bai Yixuan was already blinded by the golden floor tiles in front of him, she really couldn't understand why there was such a huge amount of gold in this kind of buddhist land, moreover, it looked like its sculpting skills were extremely good. Of course, Bai Yixuan did not continue looking, she only had doubts in her heart.

Then, Bai Yixuan saw a huge golden Buddha that was as tall as two people. A merciful smile with a metallic glow hung on the corner of her mouth, and for some reason, Bai Yixuan felt a little terrified.

Bai Yixuan saw the figure sitting on the praying mat. It was a very old monk, with a merciful smile on his face. He was currently sizing up Bai Yixuan seriously.

That's right, when Bai Yixuan saw the old man's gaze, she could only think of this word 'size'. To put it on a big monk would be inappropriate, but Bai Yixuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Yixuan did not say anything, she only looked around at the situation seriously, then quietly nodded her head. The old monk had already continued, "This old monk's name is Sheng En."

It wasn't that Bai Yixuan hadn't heard of monks before, but she was the first one to call out so blatantly. Even if she was a big monk, she wouldn't call herself Sheng En.

Bai Yixuan could only bite the bullet and introduce herself, "little girl Bai Yixuan, I came here with my brother, so I still have things to do, I need to find my brother."

"Oh? "Is Almsgiver Bai not willing to stay with me for a while?"

Bai Yixuan didn't know how to reply, but the old monk gave her a bad feeling. Bai Yixuan decided to leave, which was why he gave her the excuse of her younger brother.

Bai Yixuan could only continue, "Of course not, it's just that little girl is really too shallow. She doesn't have much knowledge, and she might not be able to talk about it with Master."

"Why don't Almsgiver Bai have a cup of tea?" frowned slightly, she was actually a little angry at the moment, so she might as well watch what the old man wanted to do. Bai Yixuan walked over to the opposite side of the praying mat made by the old monk, and saw that there was also a praying mat inside, but this praying mat was really something. When Bai Yixuan touched it, she knew that it was made of silk, and this monk seemed to be a little too rich.

Bai Yixuan felt that the teacup used for making tea was also very unique. She did not know what material it was made from, but the old monk was still smiling, and Bai Yixuan felt that the smile was extremely uncomfortable, but the fragrance around him seemed to be extremely comfortable, as though he was about to fall asleep. Bai Yixuan suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the smoke inside the hall, and the old monk had already brought the tea cup in front of Bai Yixuan.

When Bai Yixuan heard this, she became impatient. Could it be that this monk would say that he had intelligence?

The fragrance of the tea assaulted her nostrils, but Bai Yixuan could smell a unique smell. Bai Yixuan was sure that she had smelled this smell before, it was actually another bewitching medicine.

Bai Yixuan knew that she would not be poisoned, but in an instant, many thoughts surfaced in her mind. If the one who came to this hall today was not her, but another woman, then wouldn't drinking this cup of tea mean that she had lost consciousness and was allowing others to freely use it?

What was this old monk trying to do? Looking at this place now, it felt extremely empty and eerie. It did not look as dignified as the treasures of the buddhist faith at all.

Bai Yixuan was not prepared to expose this monk, but was prepared to stay and see what this monk wanted to do. After that, Bai Yixuan pretended to be dizzy, her vision turning black as she slowly fell down.

Bai Yixuan saw the monk's smile again before he closed his eyes.

Then, Bai Yixuan heard the sound of the hall door opening, and it was the same big monk's voice just now, "Master, why are you so slow this time?"

"This time, the person you're looking for is a bit hard to deal with. You've always been rejecting me, luckily you still drank this cup of tea in the end. It's not easy for a little girl with no knowledge and experience to be this cautious."

"This woman must have had some experience to be able to say something like that, but she must have been able to buy it for a good price!"

That old monk laughed, "What you said makes sense, but those two sentences are not bad, so why don't you write them down and hang them at the Lotus Pond and sign my name?"

Bai Yixuan felt that if it wasn't for him pretending to be unconscious, she would definitely scold this old man for being shameless, it was truly too shameless.

felt that he had stayed here for a long time, so he was sure that Bai Yizhao had already come out, if he could not find him now, he would be very anxious. Bai Yixuan felt that he had been a little impulsive, why did he have to pretend to faint, and if he really wanted to go out now, he would need to beat him up on the way, not worry that he would not win, but worry that the old man said that he came to smash the Buddha statue, and would be directly beaten out of the temple. Bai Yixuan knew that he was not the first, but why had he not heard anything before.

Sheng En was still talking to the big monk, "This girl doesn't seem to be here to ask for marriage."

The monk shook his head, "Originally, he was headed towards the Peach Blossom Symbol, but I don't know if he had a request."

Sheng En said, "Will there be any trouble?"

"But I'm already dizzy, so I might as well lock her up and sell all these girls out the night after tomorrow."

Bai Yixuan felt that she had been right, and that there were probably a lot of girls that had been imprisoned inside the hall. Bai Yixuan felt that she must have been carried by the big monk, and although Bai Yixuan felt that it was a little disgusting, she could only continue to pretend to be unconscious. She felt that the whole path was winding around the hall, and Bai Yixuan guessed that this hall had some kind of secret room, if she thought about it carefully, it was really a little scary.

Fortunately, Bai Yixuan could pretend better. Otherwise, she would have already crashed into the ground and grimaced in pain. Bai Yixuan expressed that she remembered this big monk, and planned to beat this big monk up after he left the room to vent his anger.

Bai Yixuan felt that her head was hurting, but she did not dare to open her eyes. Who knew if that old monk had really left, or if there was some sort of surveillance place.

Bai Yixuan felt that she might have already lied down until night time, when she slowly opened her eyes. Coincidentally, the big monk came over to bring him food, he was even a little surprised to see Bai Yixuan awake.

"You're really different from the others. You actually woke up so quickly!"

Bai Yixuan could only pretend to be afraid, of course, there was also anger caused by her fear, "What are you trying to do, why am I here, who are you, am I not in the temple?"

Originally, when the big monk saw that Bai Yixuan did not cry, he was still a little worried. He had already come to a conclusion regarding Bai Yixuan and guessed that Bai Yixuan was most likely the daughter of a rich family. She had some knowledge and had read many books, thus she was extremely proud and arrogant.

also felt that her act was extremely successful, and then, Bai Yixuan pretended to be extremely angry and hadn't eaten yet. Just when Bai Yixuan thought that the surrounding girls would go and snatch her food away, who would have thought that the girls would still be crying on the spot, with no one getting up to eat. Bai Yixuan watched the big monk leave, and immediately crawled over to eat.

The food's appearance was not good, and they were all vegetables, but some food was better than nothing. Seeing that the girls did not eat Bai Yixuan, he could not help but ask, "Why do you not eat?"

The girls looked strangely at Bai Yixuan, then continued to cry. Only one of them said softly, "If we eat it, we'll be sold to that place. We might as well starve to death."

Bai Yixuan felt that there was nothing wrong with this theory, the only thing these girls could probably think of was this. They could not think of such a way to escape, and Bai Yixuan started to feel sad for this era once again.

Deep into the night, Bai Yixuan saw that all the girls had gone to sleep. The girl that was talking to her was also there, so Bai Yixuan quietly walked over to the girl and pushed her to wake her up.

The girl was obviously hungry for a few days, and her eyes looked a little hazy. Without a word, Bai Yixuan directly gave the bottle gourd to the girl.

"It's fine if you don't want to eat and drink some water, right?"

The woman was probably really thirsty, but she actually did not reject him. Instead, she started to drink the water in big gulps, and the woman felt that after drinking the water, she did not feel hungry at all. Furthermore, her previous weakness had all disappeared.

The lady nodded her head in a daze, Bai Yixuan continued to say, "Life is so beautiful, don't keep thinking of ending her, we still have other ways."

"Do you have any other way?" the woman asked in surprise.

"Tell me your name first."

"I am Meng Xun. What is elder sister's name?"

"I am Bai Yixuan, now tell me, do you want to live?"

The woman nodded.

"Then how did you get tricked here?"

"I came to beg for Peach Blossom Symbol, then saw a big monk take me to talk to his master. After that, I woke up and was right here."

"Didn't your family come to find you?"

Meng Xun cried and shook his head, "Definitely not, my father might think that I have already eloped with someone else, but I really want father to agree to it!"

"Have you ever thought of eloping?"

Meng Xun nodded, "I only thought about it, and then I wrote down this wish. If I could be with Liu Lang, I would be willing to go to the ends of the world with him, and then the master who gave me the Peach Blossom Symbol would let me go to the lotus pond to continue praying, and then we would meet that big monk."
