"Alright, everyone's had a long night here, let's go."

After apologizing, Lu Ming and Han Bing waved to Su Wu and the others.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow.

For them, who had been terrified all day yesterday, Lu Ming and Han Bing, as demon-suppressing guards, represented absolute security.

Seeing the crowd arrive, Lu Ming and Han Bing bowed to Ming Yuan again.

"I apologize for disturbing the abbot."

After saying that, Lu Ming and Han Bing led Su Wu and the others straight away from the Incredible Hall.

Watching Lu Ming lead Su Wu and the others away, the young novice monk Huineng walked up to Mingyuan's side without him noticing, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy.

"Abbot, are you just going to let them leave like this?"

Seeing Huineng's dejection, Mingyuan reached out and gently rubbed Huineng's smooth head.

"The Demon Suppression Division has come in person to demand their release, what else can they do?"

"Even though we are hospitable, we cannot take them all in at our Lanyin Temple for the rest of their lives."

"It would be good if we could keep even a few."

As they spoke, four Buddhas dressed in kasayas emerged from the main hall behind Mingyuan.

Their robes were clean and new, and their faces were full of respect and reverence for Mingyuan.

"I have met the abbot."

If Su Wu and the others were still here, they would definitely be shocked.

Because these four Buddhas looked exactly like Wu Dameng and his two companions, as well as Wu Er!

They just can't see it.

Upon seeing the four people appear, Mingyuan smiled and reached out to pat their heads to receive their precepts.

"Having broken free from the old shackles, I now know who I truly am."

"From now on, this Lanyin Temple will be your home."

As the palm swept across, the ordination scars on the heads of the four people slowly appeared.

……

"My lords..."

On the mountain path, Su Wu looked at Lu Ming and Han Bing's backs, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

He had prepared himself to die at Lanyin Temple last night, but he never expected that he would be rescued and brought down the mountain with the two of them this morning.

The Stone Brothers standing nearby were full of praise.

"Fortunately, the abbot of Lanyin Temple is a good person, otherwise we might have really been trapped in this deep mountain forest yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming, who was walking at the front of the group, couldn't help but shake his head with a cold smile.

"A good person?"

He didn't continue speaking.

But everyone understood the unspoken meaning in his tone.

Su Wu quickly seized the opportunity to ask.

"Judging from the tone of your two superiors, it seems you don't think Mingyuan is a good person?"

In response to Su Wu's question, Lu Ming turned his head and gave Su Wu a meaningful look.

"Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

The definition of good and bad is not so absolute.

"Perhaps, considering your experience yesterday, Mingyuan, that old monk, is a good person."

Lu Ming paused here, then looked at the people behind him.

"But you'd better forget everything about this Lanyin Temple."

"It would be best if they even forgot about Lanyin Temple."

As Lu Ming finished speaking, Wu Dameng couldn't help but tap her head.

"What Lanyin Temple? What are you two officers talking about?"

The Stone Brothers, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but cover their heads and squat down.

Why does my head suddenly hurt so much?

"It feels like something has been ripped out of my mind!"

A moment later, the two stood up and looked around with some confusion.

"Huh? Where am I?"

"How did we get here?"

Even Wu Er was somewhat bewildered as he turned around and looked around.

"No, weren't we being chased by the three-headed chick demon?"

"How did you get here?"

"Are the two officers here as well?"

Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Lu Ming remained calm, as if he had known all along that this would happen.

"They really thought Nalan Temple was easy to get into."

"You expect to receive protection without paying a price?"

However, Lu Ming's words got stuck in his throat halfway through.

Because at this moment, Su Wu and Liu Dashan looked completely calm, without the slightest abnormality.

"You two..."

Looking at the calm duo in front of them, Lu Ming and Han Bing couldn't help but show disbelief in their eyes.

"How come you two weren't affected?"

Faced with Han Bing and Lu Ming's surprise, Su Wu and Liu Dashan blinked their eyes, pretending to be dumb.

"What impact? We don't know."

"Why are they suddenly like this? Have they all lost their memories?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming and Han Bing's gazes toward Liu Dashan and Su Wu began to grow increasingly intense.

"How did you manage to escape the curse of Lanyin Temple?"

"A curse?" Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan and Su Wu frowned simultaneously, looking at Lu Ming and Han Bing with some curiosity.

"What curse?"

In response to their questions, Lu Ming sniffed and coughed lightly.

"It's nothing much, it's just that people who stay overnight at Lanyin Temple will experience a little amnesia."

"Everyone will forget everything that happened at Lanyin Temple."

No one is an exception.

"What exactly happened during that time remains unknown."

At this point, Lu Ming turned his gaze curiously toward Su Wu and Liu Dashan.

"You still haven't said why you haven't forgotten?"

Han Bing, in particular, spoke to the two of them with great enthusiasm.

"If you haven't lost your memory after you get back, please be sure to write a statement..."

"Alright, let's do it now. Before you lose your memory, quickly tell us everything that happened to you at Lanyin Temple yesterday."

"This is extremely important information for our Demon Suppression Division!"

However, when faced with Han Bing's instructions, Su Wu did not immediately answer about his experience last night, but instead frowned and looked at Han Bing.

"Is this important information to your Demon Suppression Division?"

"Could it be that this Lanyin Temple also belongs to the demonic sect?"

Both Lu Ming and Han Bing were taken aback by Su Wu's question.

Lu Ming, in particular, looked at Su Wu with a face full of admiration.

"You're a clever little rascal; I saw it when we were in Xizhaofang."

"I didn't expect you to guess Lan Yin Temple's identity so easily with just a few words."

"That's right, Lanyin Temple belongs to the category of demons recorded by our Demon Suppression Division."

"However, he was not aggressive and even sheltered villagers who entered Lanyin Temple on several occasions."

"Therefore, our Demon Suppression Division only recorded it in our records and did not take any strong measures against it."

"After all, it's just losing a memory; it's not a big loss for anyone."

At this point, Lu Ming turned his gaze back to Su Wu.

"You still haven't explained how you preserved your memories?"

Faced with Lu Ming's question, Su Wu blinked his eyes, considering whether or not to answer, when suddenly a gust of demonic wind rose from the ground!

The wind blew so hard that everyone, including Lu Ming, was swaying precariously, feeling as if they couldn't even stand up straight.

"Where did this strange wind come from?"

Feeling the eerie, demonic wind encroaching upon him, Lu Ming instantly drew his long sword from his waist!
