Chapter 156: Destroying The Buddha Statue
Liu Sanniang sat in the carriage and directed Chu Yan to a few places. Chu Yan drove the carriage over.
Miao Zhen had set up a formation in all eight directions of the fishing village. When the formations were activated, it could instantly take the lives of the entire fishing village. In order to give Zhang Tianyou a healthy body, Miao Zhen was willing to do anything.
The first place was the temple in the fishing village. Miao Zhen had asked the people to build the temple to protect the fishing village initially. The people of the fishing village believed in it devoutly. Every time they went out to the sea, they would go to the temple to pray for safety.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan entered the temple together. The temple worshiped a female Buddha statue. Her eyes were closed and her hands were clasped together. She looked very amiable.
“It was when Miao Zhen was young.”
Liu Sanniang took a look and said to Chu Yan. When one was worshiped, they would have faith. Faith was also a force.
“They sincerely worship her as a female Bodhisattva, but they don’t know that the female Bodhisattva wants their lives.”
Liu Sanniang walked towards the Buddha statue. She reached out and released her power, and the Buddha statue shattered instantly.
Xia Qiluo followed Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan into the temple. She did not appear in front of them and just watched. When she saw that Liu Sanniang had actually destroyed the Buddha statue, she could not help but be shocked.
But soon, she smiled. How dare they underestimate her? She would show them what she was made of.
Xia Qiluo came out of the temple and shouted with her hands in the shape of a loudspeaker. “Someone smashed the temple’s Buddha statue. Someone smashed the temple’s Buddha statue.”
Xia Qiluo’s voice spread far and wide. It was already noon, and everyone who went out to the sea had already returned. When they heard this shout, they immediately came to take a look.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan also heard Xia Qiluo’s voice. Chu Yan’s eyes darkened.
Liu Sanniang frowned. When she and Chu Yan came out of the temple, Xia Qiluo stopped them with a smile. “Why? Do you want to run after smashing the statue?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo. “There’s a huge formation in this fishing village. Once activated, it will instantly take the lives of the entire fishing village. The Buddha statue is one of the eight formations.”
Xia Qiluo knew that Liu Sanniang was explaining to her, but Liu Sanniang had offended her. Xia Qiluo only looked at Liu Sanniang indifferently. “Oh, so?”
Liu Sanniang did not say anything further. Xia Qiluo was furious. She did not like the feeling of being ignored. Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan had provoked her anger again and again.
Xia Qiluo narrowed her eyes and said, “So you smashed the statue in this temple. What right do you have to do that? You will pay for what you did.”
Liu Sanniang did not say anything. Xia Qiluo stopped them from leaving and some villagers had already rushed over in a fury.
This temple was the center of their faith. How could they tolerate their faith being destroyed!
Soon, people surrounded Xia Qiluo and Liu Sanniang. Someone ran into the temple to take a look and came out angrily. He looked at Liu Sanniang and the others and asked. “Who destroyed the Buddha statue?”
Xia Qiluo pointed at Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang. “It’s the two of them. I saw them smashing the statue with my own eyes.”
Someone recognized Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang. Chu Yan’s cold expression made people not dare to act rashly, but they wouldn’t let him off after smashing the statue. They asked angrily. “Is this true? Why did you do this? Did our fishing village offend you?”
Liu Sanniang said, “This is a formation made by Miao Zhen. She wants to use this formation to take your lives in exchange for her grandson’s health.”
Xia Qiluo held her stomach and laughed loudly. “Hahaha, this is too funny. This is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. Who has the ability to set up such a formation and take the lives of others?”
After Xia Qiluo finished laughing, she looked at Liu Sanniang provocatively, as if saying. “Let’s see if you still dare to offend me.”
As soon as Xia Qiluo finished speaking, the fishermen surrounding Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang were even more furious. “If the two of you don’t give us an explanation, don’t even think about leaving our fishing village. Capture them and take them to Granny Miao. She smashed the temple, let Granny Miao punish her.”
Liu Sanniang frowned. Someone stepped forward and wanted to grab Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. Chu Yan’s eyes darkened. Liu Sanniang grabbed his hand. “Chu Yan, don’t do it.”
These were all ordinary people. At this moment, they were extremely angry. Once he attacked, someone would definitely be injured.
These villagers just couldn’t see the truth. Seeing might not be believing, let alone the fact they actually didn’t see it.
Chu Yan obediently retracted his hand and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Chu Yan stood behind Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang could feel being protected and a sense of security.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “We’ll go with you. Don’t use violence.”
Liu Sanniang glanced at Xia Qiluo and said, “Miss Xia, if something happens to these people because of you, can you bear these sins?”
Xia Qiluo frowned and was immediately displeased. “What do you mean? What does it have to do with me?”
Liu Sanniang did not speak to Xia Qiluo anymore and left with the villagers.
After Xia Qiluo shouted to gather the villagers, Liu Sanniang saw something, but nothing had happened yet. Anything could happen.
The formations Miao Zhen had set up were related to the lives of hundreds of people. If they were not destroyed in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xia Qiluo looked at the villagers who were walking away and felt angry. She had exposed Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan for destroying the Buddha statue, but she was not happy at all. Instead, she was even angrier.
What Liu Sanniang said made Xia Qiluo very unhappy. She stomped her feet and chased after her.
She was doing well and had a clear conscience. Why should she bear the sins of others?
The fishermen came to Miao Zhen’s house angrily. They usually came to look for Miao Zhen if there was anything. Miao Zhen was skilled in medicine, and the effects were great. They were very respectful towards her. They knocked on the door three times before shouting. “Granny Miao, are you home?”
Miao Zhen did not answer. The fishermen who could not wait shouted again. “Granny Miao, are you at home? Two people have taken down our temple’s Buddha statue. Please come out and be the judge.”
“Wait.”
Miao Zhen’s gloomy voice came from inside. Not long after, the door opened. Miao Zhen held her walking stick and narrowed her eyes when she saw Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang. “Did they take down the Buddha statue?”
The fishermen replied. “Yes, it’s these two. Granny Miao, how do you want to punish them?”
Before Miao Zhen could speak, Xia Qiluo squeezed to the front and interrupted. “We have to punish them severely for such a despicable thing. I saw them do it with my own eyes. It’s really despicable.”
