The four of them drove to Ciguang Temple.

Looking at the staircase that seemed to have no end, they looked at each other and felt a little worried. It was too high. It would take a long time to climb up.

"Xiao Fumei, do you have any useful talisman paper that can help us get up there quickly?"

"Yeah, there's a speed accelerator."

"One per person, put it on and let's go. This has a time limit, and it's useless after the time limit."

"Let's go up within fifteen minutes of the game."

The four of them split into two teams and went up the mountain. After more than ten minutes, they stood on a high point and looked down at the area below. Li Wenhao slowly exhaled and said, "Let's go to the temple."

Entering the temple and looking at the huge courtyard, I saw that there was already a long queue at the place where people burn incense. I estimated that if the queue lasts until dark, I might not be able to get there.

"Let's go and explore other parts of the temple. There's no need to burn incense. Even if you do, it costs money and it's useless."

Gao Ming hummed, "Divide into two teams and keep in touch via cell phone."

Li Wenhao brought Fumei to the main hall and looked at the huge golden Buddha statue standing there. It looked so golden that it seemed to be glowing.

"Brother Li, you said that the Buddha statue is made of gold, how much does so much gold cost?"

"No, there aren't usually solid golden Buddhas this big. They're usually made of clay inside and covered in a layer of gold. If the temple is willing to spend money, the gold covering will be thicker."

Li Fumei felt that there was no breath of Buddha's light here, and she felt a little strange. Her master had said before that Buddha statues with a lot of incense would have Buddha's light.

Although those who practice Taoism and those who practice Buddhism are not in the same field, they can still feel each other's aura. That's why the monks here don't have Buddha nature.

He looks no different from an ordinary person, and his eyes are not pure.

Li Wenhao saw her lost in thought and called out, "Fumei, what are you thinking about?"

Li Fumei shook her head: "Nothing, I just think this temple is quite big, why don't we go and see more, maybe we can stay here tonight."

"Unless there are special circumstances, we are generally not allowed to stay. One reason is that the donation is large, and the other is that it is raining heavily."

"It doesn't look like it's going to rain. We might have to think of a way to stay here tonight and go out to investigate the situation."

"Okay, I see. Let's come over after dark."

"Okay, that's fine."

The two of them walked around the temple for a long time. Li Fumei took photos with her watch phone and sent them to Su Chen, and asked him about the things she had doubts about.

"Master, I feel like something's not right with this temple. Look, the incense is incredibly popular, but the Buddha statue is as still as if it were dead. There's no light at all, it's completely dim."

This is a bit contradictory. My master once said that temples with a lot of incense would have Buddha nature. Why is this temple so strange?

Oh, and there's one more thing. The monks here will try to trick people into donating money, and they'll even respond differently depending on the amount.

If you don't have much money, they won't even glance at you, and will even make sarcastic remarks. There's something strange about this place; it feels more like a shopping mall than a temple.

Su Chen: [Why did Fumei go to the temple? ]

Li Fumei answered honestly: "Investigating a theft case. The complainant said he had lost 100,000 yuan while staying at a temple overnight. He wanted to see the surveillance footage but was refused and chased away."

[This doesn't make sense. Someone must have done something here. If you investigate, be careful. Don't be reluctant to use those talismans. If a problem arises that you can't handle, run away.]

[By the way, you can also shake the master and he will help you.]

Li Fumei felt warm at heart after hearing this and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Master, I understand. If you say something is wrong here, then it must be wrong. I will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

[Okay, keep going. Feel free to ask the master if you need anything.]

Regarding the Buddha statue's lack of aura, if you can go and take a closer look, I think the golden color of the statue is a little off. It doesn't look like golden skin.

[I see. I'll go check it out at night. There are too many people now, and monks are not allowed to approach the Buddha statue.]

【Um. 】

Li Fumei came over and whispered, "Brother Li, my master said that the color of the Buddha statue is a little off. Did you notice that it really is made of gold?"

Li Wenhao paused and shook his head: "I'm not sure. It looks golden and shiny. The temple is making so much money, so they wouldn't skimp on the Buddha statue."

"I don't know. We'll know when we go and see it tonight."

Before they knew it, the sun had set and the little monk began to invite people to go down the mountain. He considerately suggested that they take the cable car, but each ride cost 100 yuan.

When Li Wenhao heard the price, his mouth twitched. This is called a temple, but this is clearly... a scam. Whose cable car ride is so expensive?

Too much, too much.

The old lady at home comes here several times every month. If that’s the case, then all her pension will be spent here. Li Wenhao’s face turned ugly when he thought about it.

Li Fumei asked in confusion: "Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? You don't look very well."

"I'm fine. I just thought about my old lady at home who is obsessed with Ciguang Temple. Her monthly pension of more than 10,000 yuan is not enough to spend, so I wondered if I had spent all my money here."

"With so many pilgrims, this temple's monthly revenue couldn't possibly be tens of millions. Where did all that money go? I have a feeling it might not have been spent on the Buddha statues."

Li Wenhao led his men into the small woods. After the pilgrims came down the mountain, the two waited a little longer until it was completely dark before coming out. They climbed over the wall and sneaked into the back of the temple rockery.
