Family Of Ghosts

Although the Twin Dragon Monastery was located in the suburbs, there had always been a lot of incense offerings. Believers from all over the world liked to come to this temple to offer incense and pay respects to Buddha. Rumor had it that making a wish here was very effective.

Ye Xiao did not know whether the wishing spirit was real or not. Anyway, before he met Cen Pan, he had never believed in ghosts and monsters, but since the car accident, and now that Cen Pan was unconscious, he had no choice but to believe it.

After entering the temple, Ye Xiao saw a young monk cleaning the front yard. The monk robe he was wearing was completely different from that of the monk who had gone to his house.

It looked like Chen Feng had found a fake monk for him!

Ye Xiao sneered as he looked at Chen Feng. The coldness in his eyes made Chen Feng shiver.

In order to make amends, Chen Feng put on a smile and ran two steps to ask the young monk about the location of the holy water in the temple.

“Why are you asking about the holy water? It’s the cornerstone treasure of our monastery. It’s not easily shown to others.”

The young monk sized up Chen Feng and Ye Xiao warily with a serious expression.

Ye Xiao and Chen Feng were stunned. They had thought that the holy water was just the well water in the temple. If they came to their door and begged, the monks would give it generously. However, that didn’t seem to be the case.

“Young Master, my wife was injured by an evil spirit and needs holy water to save her life. Please do us a favor. I’m willing to donate more incense money as a form of gratitude.”

Ye Xiao sounded sincere and he gave Chen Feng a look.

Chen Feng opened the brown paper bag in his hand and took out a wad of cash. Only a pink corner was exposed.

“I’m a monk. Money is just a worldly possession.” The young monk lowered his eyes and continued, “But since you’re here to save Madam, please wait here for a while. Allow me to report to the abbot.”

After giving a bow, the young monk turned and entered the inner courtyard.

Before long, the young monk appeared in front of the two of them again. He still bowed first.

“The Abbot Master said that if you want holy water, only one person can enter.” After the young monk finished speaking, he stood aside and waited to lead the way.

The two of them exchanged looks. Ye Xiao took the paper bag from Chen Feng and followed the young monk to the inner courtyard.

The temple was built on the mountainside. In order to make it convenient for visitors to come and go, the front yard was bigger and the inner yard was relatively smaller.

The Inner Academy had a tall jujube tree. Under the tree, there was a stone table and four stone stools. Not far away, there was a well.

The moment Ye Xiao entered the inner courtyard, his eyes were attracted to that well.

The well was not large, but it had a strange shape.

The mouth of the well was hexagonal with a huge dragon head hanging from it. The stone dragon had its mouth opened and revealed its fangs while facing the mouth of the well. Water droplets were dripping from the stone dragon’s mouth.

A fat monk in a kasaya stood by the well and smiled at Ye Xiao. “Patron, you can go forward and take a closer look. This is the holy water of our temple.”

Ye Xiao took two steps forward and stood beside the well.

It was only when he got closer that he realized that this was not a well, or rather, not a well in the conventional sense.

Normally, wells were dug very deep and used underground water. However, this well in front of him was extremely shallow, with a depth of less than ten inches. The depth of the water was even shallower, with a depth of less than two inches. It was probably very difficult to scoop it up.

“Ugh… Why is there so little holy water?” Ye Xiao looked at the abbot in confusion.

The abbot smiled and said nothing. He only pointed at the dragon head on the well.

Ye Xiao turned his gaze to the dragon head and observed it carefully.

After a while, Ye Xiao finally discovered something.
