Hearing this, although Du Bai's face had not changed, his heart was a little turbulent.

This old woman could actually see these emotions that he had never expressed at all?

There is indeed some confusion and anxiety about the future hidden in his heart.

Whether it is coming from modern times to this strange world, or the identity of his son-in-law, or the crisis facing another ghost king clone...

Although he had never mentioned these things in his mouth, he always had concerns in his heart, not knowing what he should do or how he should do next, nor even where his future is in this world.

He thought he was hiding well, and he tried his best to play two completely different roles so that outsiders could see any flaws.

However, at this moment, I was seen through...

This made him take this old man seriously.

"But even if you really tell the Buddha about his troubles, will the Buddha really give him help?" Du Bai said softly, "Buddha is not omnipotent. If it is really effective, there will not be so many poor and evil people in the world, and the world is also a prosperous and beautiful scenery."

"Because lies in front of the Buddha are useless." The old woman slowly opened her eyes, and there was only peace in her slightly cloudy eyes. "Everyone has greed, and too many people seek Buddha to satisfy those insignificant desires. Her heart is not sincere, and the Buddha cannot hear their true hearts."

"Original heart?" Du Bai was stunned, and then smiled helplessly again.

He himself didn't understand what his original heart was, so how could the Buddha understand it?

Then he heard the old woman say slowly: "Cherish the present and don't care about the past..."

Du Bai's eyes were slightly condensed. He looked down and found that the old man had closed his eyes and seemed to have no intention of further explanation.

"Thank you." He hesitated for a moment and bowed softly.

But he secretly wrote a note in his heart.

But at this moment, Su Zhirou walked in, glanced at Du Bai and quickly looked away, landed on the old woman kneeling in front of the Buddha, walked up slowly and asked in a low voice: "Old man, can the Buddha really hear what you said with sincerity?"

It turns out that she heard it all...

Du Bai was shocked and laughed, not too surprised. What he said just now was not a secret, nor did he deliberately lower his voice. The temple was not big in total, so it was normal to hear it.

And what the old woman said does sound a bit reasonable. No matter what, seeking Buddha is more about seeking peace of mind. It is tantamount to expecting Buddha to come down to earth to satisfy his wishes. It is like hoping that the pie falls from the sky.

The old woman did not affirm or deny it, but said slowly: "If a girl wants something, it is always right to come and worship Buddha."

Su Zhirou actually doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods. After all, most people in this society regard ghosts and gods as a kind of research object. If they study too much and see too much, the awe in their hearts gradually fade away.

But at this moment, she hesitated for a moment, and still carefully knelt on the cushion on the ground that didn't look very clean, closing her eyes and praying with decent look.

If she could, she was willing to believe this time.

After that, she did not say what she had prayed to the Buddha, but the somewhat strange old woman said: "A sincere heart will make you feel." It seems that she affirmed her sincerity.

Until he left, Du Bai did not kneel down to worship Buddha.

He knew that the gods and Buddhas had disappeared now, and worshiping Buddha was only one form of airs, and there was no meaning to do much. Instead, the conversation with the old woman gave him some gains.

The few people who learned it were already planning to leave. After all, when they learned that everything was a rumor, there was no need for them to stay in such a wilderness and suffer. It would be better to go back to visit the next place earlier.

The only surprise was that Wang Chengyuan seemed to have met the little bird without fighting, and at this time he said goodbye to each other reluctantly. If he hadn't known that the bird was the only companion of the old woman, he would have really wanted to spend money to buy the bird and take it back.

After saying goodbye to the old man, everyone got on the carriage and prepared to return. Although they didn't see the expected ghosts and gods on this trip, it was a good enjoyment to treat it as an outing and having fun. The few of them were excited and tired.

After a lot of hard work, I finally returned to Yongxu Village before the sun sets.

But when I first entered the village, I met a few young scholars dressed up in a bookcase and planned to leave.

Xu Zhiyan glanced out but happened to see a familiar face. After being stunned, he asked happily: "It's Brother Lu?! Long time no see!"

The scholar turned around in surprise when he heard someone calling him, and indeed saw Xu Zhiyan walking down from the carriage, with a hint of joy on his face: "Zhiyan! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Yes, I didn't expect it." Xu Zhiyan sighed a little, "I haven't seen each other for a year since I left Nanlin City last time."

As he said that, he looked at the bookcase behind the other party and asked with a little confusion: "Brother Lu, are you going to Beijing to take the exam?"

"No, no, no..." Lu Shusheng shook his head and smiled, "I just went to Nishan Academy to study."

"Nishan Academy?" Xu Zhiyan thought for a while and sighed, "There is a long journey there, and I'm afraid it's time to see you again."

Immediately, he glanced at the scholars who were walking with him: "It's getting late today, so why not stay here for a night, and have a good chat..."

"No, if you delay your time, you may not be able to enter the academy." The scholar surnamed Lu declined, "We all bring dry food. When it's late, we can only stay overnight. We have many people, and fire has started, so even those wild beasts in the forest dare not approach."

"That's fine..." Xu Zhiyan sighed lightly, then seemed to remember something, and mentioned, "By the way, there is a Lanruo Temple in this direction, which contains a kind old woman. If you can hurry, you might as well spend a night there. Having a house that can shelter from wind and rain is better than sleeping in the open."

"That's thank you!"

The two of them bowed and farewell, and the scholars left together with laughter and laughter, slowly walking towards the direction where Du Bai and the others had just returned.

Looking at the direction of their departure, Xu Zhiyan gradually withdrew his pity and explained to Du Bai and the others: "Brother Lu is a friend I met while traveling abroad. He is a righteous person, but unfortunately his family is poor and determined to be a grandfather. I believe that he had taken a lot of effort to obtain the quota for studying at Nishan Academy. He will naturally cherish it even more. It's a pity..."

He wanted to speak but stopped.

"That's a good thing, why are you a pity?" Du Bai was a little confused.
