The guy always seemed to complain, and he talked about some strange things when he went out to sea. However, everyone just listened to him as a story and didn't comment. They just listened to him for fun.

"Hey, you still don't believe it. Recently, I heard from my wife that Muxin Island is amazing. The Buddha appeared." The guy whispered, as if he was afraid that others would hear it.

"Where did you hear it from?"

Everyone laughed.

"Hey, don't disbelieve it. According to those people, the Buddha spoke, and many people heard it. They are all residents of Muxin Island." The guy said seriously, "You don't believe it? Look, otherwise how could so many people go to Muxin Island to worship? Have you seen such a lively scene before?"

"It's true. It's been rumored these days."

Another guy echoed.

"Really?"

"Let's go to Muxin Island."

I squinted my eyes and looked at the small island less than a few kilometers away from the city. It looked like a peach heart, but it was bare, like a desert, mostly covered with shrubs and low trees. From here you can see the only temple on the island.

"Come on, you can go and worship too. Maybe you can find that witch... "Then the guy said with a smile.

Hou San asked me why I was going to join in the fun.

I smiled faintly. I also wanted to know what this Buddha's appearance was all about.

"Okay, let's go."

Hou San said.

It took more than ten minutes to get there by boat. The guy insisted on not charging us, saying that we all looked like students and would have great prospects in the future.

I had to thank him.

Sure enough, there was a big temple on the mountain. Although it looked inconspicuous from a distance, it sounded spacious when you got closer. There was also a village of people living under the temple. They also made a living by fishing. Most of the fishermen believed in gods.

Because they believe that it is the gods who give them the calm sea, so that they can go out to sea to fish and return safely. So in the coastal areas, there is always a day every month when they stop their work and worship the gods.

Generally, firecrackers will be set off, and the tribesmen will celebrate with a big banquet.

There is an endless stream of people going up the mountain, and those who sell incense and candles have a good business.

We climbed to the top of the mountain and couldn't walk anymore. There were so many people here, and there was smoke everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of incense and candles.

I suggested that we come back at night, because there are too many people during the day, which is inconvenient.

"Why, what are you going to do?"

Hou San asked me with a puzzled look.

"I want to see what is different about those Buddha statues." However, my interest is not here, but I think there may be something fishy about it.

Ancient sound!

I seem to be curious and sensitive to sounds at this moment.

Midnight.

It was cool around, and there was a sea breeze blowing, so we climbed over the wall and entered the temple directly.

There was no one inside. At this time, everyone was asleep. Only candles were lit on the main roads of the temple.

"Be careful."

I saw Hou San was nervous like a thief.

"Hey, you said you were going to worship Buddha, but I felt that the witch was here. What should I do if I really meet her in the middle of the night?"

Hou San was worried about this.

"That's better. I can find her and get the porcelain back."

I pretended to be relaxed.

"Come on, it's good to be alive. You forgot that in the exhibition hall, a group of people couldn't deal with this guy."

I still feel scared when I think about it now.

"Hush!"

I warned Hou San that if we woke up those bald donkeys, we might die before we even saw the witch.

There were several halls in the front and back of the temple. We walked forward carefully. We didn't meet anyone watching the night, but the Bodhisattvas were surrounded by layers of railings, and there were a lot of change thrown in them, even red Mao Zedong banknotes.

"So fucking rich."

Hou San was ready to go in and get two tickets.

"Are you looking for death?"

I pulled him, "Isn't that too wicked?"

"Ahem... just look, no." Hou San quickly retracted his hand.

We walked forward along the Bodhisattvas, from the Great Hall to the Arhat Hall. We had no awe when we saw these Buddha statues, but now we felt even more terrified. Their facial expressions were exaggerated, just like monsters.

"Look!"

Suddenly, Hou San stood in front of one of the statues, confused.

"What's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with this statue."

Hou San said.

I stood in front of the statue and noticed that it was a single statue, which seemed to be made of colored clay. Maybe it had been stored for too long, and even the paint had begun to fade. However, it was such a statue that caught us off guard, because there were a few words written in front of the statue.

The statue of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty!

This was not surprising. The most puzzling thing was that the statue seemed to have been tampered with.

There was also a row of very tiny characters carved along Xuanzang's sleeves, but I didn't recognize the characters.

Suddenly, Hou San came around behind the stone statue of Xuanzang, was horrified, and almost screamed.
