Chapter 423: The Villagers Built a Temple, Naming It Holy Infant
Although it was only a layer of paint, the level of luxury definitely exceeded that of 99% of Buddhist temples.
“This great philanthropist Wang is really concerned about the village’s affairs.”
Lin Qiye had a strange expression as he watched the Wang family patriarch and the rest finish the final work.
If the Wang family patriarch had found out that he had built this temple to worship his drowned child, Lin Qiye wondered how his expression would be.
However, Lin Qiye only thought about it before shaking his head. He had drowned in this life, and it was a sin caused by the Wang family patriarch after drinking.
But thinking about it carefully, the Wang family patriarch was indeed a good man and did many charity works, so why would he suddenly do such a disgraceful thing?
If Lin Qiye really wanted to get to the bottom of it, perhaps it was his sudden intrusion that had changed the trajectory of this world and eventually led to all these events.
Karma was hard to explain. Lin Qiye was not an executor of justice, so he naturally would not delve into the past.
The only thing he could do was face the demon race, the main culprit behind the scenes.
Lin Qiye would not let this matter rest.
Just as he moved into the temple and focused on his cultivation, in the depths of Saint King Mountain, within a cave, a monster with a tiger head and a human body sat cross-legged on a stone bed.
He looked at the back of the beautiful figure leaving the cave with a sharp gaze and a cold expression.
“Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t be honest. You dare to go against me. Do you really think I don’t know about your last meeting with that infant soul?”
A cold smile flashed across his face. “Half a year? Hehe, just wait and see. I’ll give you a surprise then.”
Lonemoon, who had been sent out, had no idea what went on with the tiger demon in the cave.
At this moment, she was full of joy as she came to Tata Village. She transformed into a farmer’s girl dressed in plain clothes and entered the village with a curious look.
“Today, the Holy Infant Temple will be officially opened to the public. Let’s quickly go and pay our respects. We’ll get some of the Lord Holy Infant’s blessings and not worry about those messy things.”
“Alright, I’ve prepared the incense. Let’s go over now.”
In the village, many women were gathered and chatting.
On the main road, people were passing by from time to time, all carrying a basket of incense and walking towards the center of the village.
Lonemoon followed the crowd and soon arrived in front of a temple filled with incense.
“Holy Infant Temple…” She muttered to herself.
Lonemoon did not expect the villagers of Tata Village to be so efficient. In less than a month, they had built such a solemn and prosperous temple.
She stepped into the temple and looked at the lively scene of people coming and going. She couldn’t help but smile.
“Come to the back.” At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly entered her ears.
She didn’t need to think to know that it was Lin Qiye calling her. Under the guidance of a spiritual force, she quickly came to a separate room at the back of the temple.
The room was used as a storage room for celebration equipment, but the corresponding items had not been purchased yet, so it was temporarily idle.
Creak!
Like a thief, Lonemoon pushed open the door and sneaked in.
“Little cutie?” She looked around but did not see Lin Qiye.
As for how she addressed him, it wasn’t that she didn’t know Lin Qiye’s name. Lin Qiye’s chubby appearance did look cute, so she had given him such a nickname.
“I said don’t call me little cutie anymore.” Lin Qiye’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
Lonemoon immediately turned back with a face full of joy. When she saw Lin Qiye floating in front of her, she reached out to pinch his face.
“Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Don’t touch me,” Lin Qiye slapped her hand away and said helplessly.
He had already told Lonemoon his name when they were chatting under the tree on Saint King Mountain.
However, she didn’t even call him that once. Instead, she kept calling him ‘little cutie,’ which gave Lin Qiye a headache.
“You little fellow, you’re still young, but you have quite some dirty thoughts!”
Lonemoon stuck her tongue out at him.
Lin Qiye glanced at her, too lazy to argue. With his hands behind his head, he lay in the air and said, “What are you doing here instead of staying on the mountain?”
“Can’t I take a look? You can live in such a good house because of my contribution!”
Lonemoon placed her hands on her hips and shook her body. A pair of furry ears and a tail popped out.
“That’s enough. If you have something to say, say it. I’m still busy with my cultivation.”
After their last encounter, Lin Qiye had a rough idea of Lonemoon’s personality.
Therefore, as soon as he saw her, he knew she must have come for something.
“Tsk, you’re boring.” Lonemoon rolled her eyes.
“Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t, I’ll leave.”
Lin Qiye was speechless about Lonemoon’s habits. When the two of them first met, she looked like a fairy with a serious attitude.
However, after their first encounter, she had become playful and lively without a trace of seriousness.
“Alright, alright. I’m here to check on your cultivation progress.”
Upon seeing Lin Qiye was about to leave, Lonemoon quickly stepped forward to stop him.
She had been thinking about this matter while she was in the mountains.
After all, Lin Qiye’s breakthrough was directly related to whether she could kill the tiger demon.
