Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 290 - 289: They are all looking at me!

Chapter 290: Chapter 289: They are all looking at me!

The light was dim above the side hall, and as Su Chenjin and Mianmian surveyed the entire hall together, the Buddha statue seemed to revert to the inanimate state it should have, as if nothing had happened.

Apart from the Buddha statue and the candles, there was nothing unusual in the hall.

However, Su Chenjin still meticulously squatted on the ground to examine every object, fearing there might be some hidden mechanism.

After this hall, they would move on to the next side hall.

There were martial monks patrolling the temple, which suggested that Fahua Temple had good security measures in place. Maybe because they saw no one around and it was very quiet, the two martial monks started to whisper, "The abbot said today is vitally important to Fahua Temple, but wouldn’t say why it’s so important."

"What the abbot says is never wrong. Now that we are monks, don’t we have whatever we need? What’s there to fuss about?"

"But I’m just curious, aren’t we part of Fahua Temple too? The abbot always speaks half-truths, just to pique one’s curiosity."

"Don’t talk nonsense, everyone can hear. Have you forgotten the previous incident? Our job today is to patrol. Stop talking about all these irrelevant things."

The taller martial monk scolded the shorter one, and the two carried their lanterns away into the distance.

Mianmian wrote on the back of Su Chenjin’s hand, "They said everything can be heard, but they don’t know we’re here. If they aren’t talking about us, who are they talking about? Are there surveillance cameras here?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Chenjin replied by writing back, "There are no surveillance cameras, but..."

The handsome man stared at the external structure of Fahua Temple.

The Buddha statues inside the main hall were grand and solemn, but outside there were also significant features. For instance, where they were standing now, there was a pillar engraved with bas-reliefs.

The pillar likely featured stories passed down from Buddhism. One that Su Chenjin recognized depicted the Buddha feeding a piece of his own flesh to an eagle before attaining enlightenment.

Since the temple had no lights, the figures in these carvings appeared dim and indistinct, with only a nearby oil lamp

Noticing Su Chenjin’s interest in the bas-reliefs, Mianmian also looked up to see them.

Little Bun examined them very carefully, leaning forward to get a clearer view.

Seeing Mianmian’s interest, Su Chenjin simply walked forward a bit to get a closer look at the carvings.

As they were looking at the carvings, two more martial monks on patrol approached. They couldn’t see Su Chenjin and Mianmian and walked past them through a nearby corridor, idly twirling their sticks in their hands.

After Mianmian finished looking at the painting in front of her, she gestured with her small hand for Su Chenjin to move on.

Su Chenjin complied.

As he moved, Mianmian’s eyes remained fixed on the carvings.

As she watched, Mianmian furrowed her brows, Why did the eyes of the figures in these carvings seem to follow her as she moved? She tested it by having Su Chenjin circle the pillar, and indeed, whether it was the eagle or the human figures, they kept their gaze on her.

"Big Nephew, they’re all looking at me!"

Mianmian held Su Chenjin’s slender hand and wrote on it.

Su Chenjin was taken aback and stared intently at the paintings.

If Little Auntie’s feeling was not mistaken, then there was something inside these paintings... like before, when Rose pulled brother number two’s soul into the painting.

And whatever was inside these carvings, it was like the presence of the Divine Artifact, Green from the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron, able to break Little Auntie’s invisibility talisman, and see where they were!

Su Chenjin narrowed his eyes slightly.

This visit to Fahua Temple seemed like they would encounter a formidable opponent.

After some thought, he still decided to share his thoughts with Little Auntie.

As Mianmian was writing on Su Chenjin’s palm, she had already thought of these possibilities. Previously, when they were in Yide Village, looking for Liao Yue in the basement, Liao Yue had detected them and even trapped them in the space of the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron.

However, that was because Liao Yue had controlled the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron at that time and could see them with its help.

If the entities hidden within these bas-reliefs could also see them, then they might be as powerful as Green.

Could they be another Divine Artifact?

But she had never heard of a Divine Artifact in the form of bas-reliefs, nor did the Mountain River Sheji Map look like this.

I wonder if Green would recognize it?

Mianmian thought about it and then remembered that she had left Green with Ying Fang and Ying Miao, so she couldn’t ask now. But the more pressing matter was that this thing had discovered them, would it do something next?

After mulling it over, Little Bun’s round, clever eyes whirled with thought, then she wrote to Su Chenjin, "Let’s continue to check out other places."

After all, no one had come after them, and whatever was in the carvings hadn’t emerged, so they might as well keep looking.

Otherwise, were they supposed to run away, scared, now? That would mean they had come all this way for nothing!

Brave Mianmian, unafraid of difficulties!

Mianmian’s little face was set, looking very composed.

Su Chenjin put Little Bun down, switching arms to carry her.

In his narrow, handsome eyes, there was a faint smile.

It seemed that his parents were right; Little Auntie really did need to lose some weight.

All he had done was hold Little Auntie for a little while, and his arm was already achingly sore. But, it might also have been due to maintaining the same position for a long time, so he couldn’t really blame Little Auntie.

The duo continued to wander around the temple.

Mianmian found that it wasn’t just the bas-reliefs – even the Arhat sculptures they encountered along the way, placed in the scenic areas, had eyes that would watch her.

The other party might have realized they were discovered, as the eyes moved even more outrageously.

If she drew nearer, there was even the illusion that they wanted to break out of the sculptures immediately. This was more pronounced in side halls adorned with statues of Bodhisattvas, like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

Mianmian even felt like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin’s hands wanted to reach out and touch her.

It wasn’t until they had visited every place and returned to their guest room, sitting on the stiff straw mat bed, that Mianmian spoke up, "Big Nephew, are you scared? This place is a bit strange."

Although she asked Su Chenjin if he was scared, Little Bun’s eyes were shining, as if she was anticipating something.

"Hmm..." Su Chenjin’s voice was cold, and he drew out the "Hmm" for a long while before curling his lips up and asking Little Auntie, "Is Little Auntie perhaps thinking about how to dismantle the temple?"

Caught by Big Nephew guessing her little thoughts, Mianmian blushed a little.

She nodded, "Yes, all these things are problematic, and Mianmian really wants to tear them all down. But doing so might put you all in danger, so I’m asking if you’re scared. But don’t worry, Big Nephew, Mianmian will try her best to protect you."

Su Chenjin’s smile grew deeper, "Hmm, Big Nephew knows, Big Nephew is not afraid either, and even feels..."

He deliberately paused, looking to tease Little Bun.

Little Bun took the bait and leaned in to listen, "Feels what?"

Only then did Su Chenjin reveal the rest of his thoughts, his voice low and filled with delight, "Very thrilling."

Mianmian immediately laughed like a blossoming flower, "Big Nephew is truly worthy of being Mianmian’s Big Nephew! Mianmian also finds it very thrilling, hehehe."

Best if the whole Fahua Temple was problematic, filled with kinds of demons that could spar with her. She took out the Flying Sword, yearning for a good and hearty fight, hehe.
