Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 627: Thousand Miles’ Eyes

Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Thousand Miles’ Eyes

"Do you think... eyes could represent Thousand Miles?" Bai Junjun suddenly speculated.

"Longing for a distant view of a thousand miles?"

Li Wenli murmured with a smile full of interest, "I didn’t expect that before we even began looking for them, they had already set their sights on us."

"Are they merely seeking information, or is someone trying to buy our information?"

Li Wenli shook his head lightly, "Regardless of their intentions, it’s wrong for them to stir trouble under the Emperor’s nose. Curiosity killed the cat; it’s time to teach them a lesson."

From the clues, all signs pointed to Thousand Miles, but it was not yet time to show one’s hand.

Confronting Thousand Miles was easy, but unraveling the mastermind behind the scenes was not that simple. From the way that person did not hesitate to commit suicide by poisoning, it seems they would rather leave behind nothing but corpses should we launch a fierce attack on Thousand Miles.

But now that the man was dead, regretting was already too late.

All the two of them could do now was destroy the bodies completely, making these people disappear from the world.

Delaying even for a moment was a moment gained!

With that thought, Bai Junjun activated her Special Ability and stirred the weeds in the corner.

The weeds woke up as they had last time, instantly disintegrating these bodies with their absorbent power.

In a blink, lively beings were reduced to a pile of clothes.

Li Wenli pinched his fingers lightly and threw a fireball, incinerating these clothes, and finally scattered the ashes with a gust of wind.

The two worked seamlessly together; even the arrival of a forensic expert would likely be futile.

After cleaning up, they headed toward Fahua Temple.

The foot of Fahua Temple was still guarded. It was almost ludicrous—Fahua Temple, even if it belonged to the Royal Monastery, shouldn’t be this cautious, as if fearing thieves, right?

However bizarre it looked, who were they trying to scare?

But even with heavy guard, how did that matter?

Who would think that in the dead of night, someone would create an aerial route to come in?

Li Wenli, carrying Bai Junjun, increased their flying speed significantly, and a novice Buddhist monk had no idea someone flew right over his head.

The two easily bypassed the guards, and because they were overlooking from the air, the ground layout became crystal clear.

As one sees, Fahua Temple could roughly be divided into three major sections after ascending the 1080 steps,

The first area was Heavenly King Hall; behind Heavenly King Hall was a vast square, on one side of which was the guest hall.

During the daytime, their exploration had stopped right there.

The square continued upwards to the second major courtyard, which was the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, where monks held morning prayers or large ceremonial rites.

Further on was the third section, Great Hero Hall and Ancestral Master Hall.

The Great Hero Hall was the Monks’ Quarters; behind the Ancestral Master Hall was heavily guarded, likely where the Dowager Consorts resided.

In the air, they also noticed a double-storeyed loft between Great Hero Hall and Ancestral Master Hall.

This place was also heavily guarded, but not by guards but by monks.

It must be the renowned Scripture Pavilion, reputed to house many valuable scriptures and also the main entrance to the underground palace of Fahua Temple, thus it was perpetually guarded by a Congregation of Monks.

Behind the Scripture Pavilion was a Pagoda Forest; back then, Lame Man Uncle had entered the underground palace through the Pagoda Forest.

Upon spotting the legendary Pagoda Forest, the two silently descended there.

Though termed a forest, it had no trees.

On a vast flat land stood many stone-carved, exquisite pagodas.

Each of these Stupas represented a revered monk.

About this Pagoda Forest, there were particular considerations.

Only revered monks were entitled to have a Stupa; ordinary monks who passed away did not qualify to be placed inside a Stupa.

Their relics or ashes could only be placed in the Fortune and Virtue Merit Pagoda at the outer perimeter of the Pagoda Forest.

Inside a Fortune and Virtue Merit Pagoda, there might be the relics of many monks.
