Everyone hurried into the dilapidated temple. As soon as they stepped over the threshold, the strong wind became more violent like a roaring beast.

The whistling sound of the wind was like the roar from hell, making people shudder.

Lightning flashed across the sky like a sharp sword, illuminating the dark world in an instant, followed by deafening thunder. The lightning and thunder intertwined together, as if to tear the world apart.

The dilapidated temple was crumbling under the ravages of the storm, and from time to time pieces of wood and tiles fell from the roof, making frightening noises.

The crowd huddled in the center of the temple in terror, their faces filled with fear and panic.

The children were frightened and cried loudly, and the women also sobbed. The whole temple was filled with an atmosphere of despair.

"Is this dilapidated temple going to collapse? If it does, we're all finished!" someone shouted in a trembling voice.

"What should we do? Is God going to kill us?"

"I don't want to die. I have children to take care of!"

Everyone was talking at once, and fear was spreading rapidly among the crowd.

Murong Ling'er stepped forward and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! This temple won't collapse for the time being!"

However, her voice was quickly drowned out by the cries and discussions of the crowd.

"Wow, I'm scared, Mommy...!" A little girl hugged her mother's legs tightly.

"Don't be afraid, child, it will be fine." Although the mother was comforting her child, her eyes were full of fear.

……

Chifeng stepped into the black hole cautiously. It was filled with the smell of dampness and decay. Relying on the faint light, he groped his way forward. The ground under his feet was bumpy and uneven. Water droplets from the wall dripped onto his shoulders, making him feel a chill.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chifeng suddenly saw a ray of light in front of his eyes. He quickened his pace and walked towards the light, only to discover that it was connected to a grand temple.

Although the temple's architecture is a bit old, one can still see its former glory and majesty.

Chifeng was extremely surprised and quickly found the abbot of the temple and told him about the plight of the people outside.

The abbot was compassionate and expressed deep sympathy after hearing about their plight.

"Amitabha, monks are compassionate. In this case, let them all in!" The abbot's voice was calm and gentle.

Chifeng was filled with gratitude and hurried back to the dilapidated temple to tell everyone the good news.

"Don't panic, everyone. I found a large temple where we can stay, and the abbot agreed to take us in!"

Chiffon's voice rang out in the noisy environment, like a ray of hope.

When everyone heard the news, they stopped crying and a spark of hope rekindled in their eyes.

Led by Chiffon, they supported each other and passed through the black hole.

The black cave was filled with damp mist, and the road underfoot was rugged and dotted with large and small stones and puddles.

Chu Chu carried the injured Chu Lingfeng on her back and followed the team into the black hole with difficulty. Not long after walking, she was out of breath, her steps became heavier, and she almost couldn't hold on.

Seeing this, Murong Ling'er quickly stepped forward and said, "Chu Chu, let me carry him!"

Chu Chu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Murong."

Murong Ling'er carried Chu Lingfeng on her back without hesitation, and Murong Chen followed closely and walked forward step by step.

But the road in this black hole was too difficult to walk on. Everyone stumbled as they walked. Some people accidentally slipped and the people next to them quickly reached out to help them up. Some people were hit on the legs by protruding rocks and grimaced in pain, but they still insisted on moving forward.

From time to time, suppressed cries of pain and heavy breathing could be heard in the team, but no one stopped, with a longing for the temple as a safe haven in their hearts.

In the darkness, someone whispered, "Everyone, be careful and work harder. We'll be there soon."

This sentence seemed to inject strength into everyone, and everyone gritted their teeth and continued to move forward with difficulty.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone finally walked out of the black hole and arrived at the temple.

The plaque of the temple looked a little mottled in the wind and rain. Murong Linger looked up at the three big words "Miaoyin Temple" and suddenly a strange feeling surged in her heart.

As a cultivator in the past, she was extremely sensitive to the sense of aura. At this moment, she vaguely felt that there was an evil aura in this temple.

Chu Lingfeng held an umbrella and lay quietly on Murong Ling'er's back. He saw that her breathing was steady, as if the person on her back was not an adult man, but a light feather.

Chifeng led the officials and followed behind, leading the horses and carrying the carts, looking extremely embarrassed.

The temple was open, and several young monks holding umbrellas led the group of fugitives into the side rooms. When Murong Ling'er came up, she clearly noticed the scrutinizing gaze of the young monk beside her. He was not scrutinizing Chu Lingfeng on her back, but herself.

Although this look made Murong Ling'er feel uncomfortable, she pretended not to know and entered the rooms with the others. There were four rooms in total, two for men and two for women each.

"Amitabha, the temple has limited rooms, so this is the only arrangement. I hope the donors will forgive me."

"No, no, no, thank you for taking us in, Abbot."

"Master, you are so compassionate. We are so grateful. Please, little master, convey our gratitude to you."

Everyone took a short rest in the side room. The exiles were full of gratitude. At this time, it was a blessing to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. What was even more surprising was that not long after, the temple sent hot meals and hot water.

Chu Lingfeng looked at the vegetarian meal in front of him and suddenly said something.

"Something's wrong."

"Brother, what are you talking about? They took us in out of kindness, how can you say that?"

After Chu Yinyin finished speaking, she took the vegetarian meal and walked away, not wanting to pay any attention to them.

Chu Lingfeng frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. This temple is so hospitable, I always feel that it is not that simple. Those monks are too enthusiastic about us, a group of fugitives. It is really inappropriate." As he spoke, he looked around vigilantly, as if looking for some clues.

Murong Ling'er's heart tightened and she nodded thoughtfully.

She said softly, "I've also noticed that this temple looks ordinary, but it has a strange and evil aura. We need to be more careful." Her eyes were sharp and observant, as if she could see the hidden danger through the appearance.

The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of worry and vigilance in their eyes.

They know that in this unfamiliar environment, they must remain vigilant to deal with possible crises.

Chu Lingfeng whispered, "We must always pay attention to the movements around us and not trust anyone or anything easily."

Murong Ling'er nodded in agreement.

She whispered, "We can observe the behavior of these monks first, and if we find anything unusual, we can act accordingly." Her tone was firm and decisive, revealing her inner determination.
