I've searched through thousands of corpses, but I couldn't find my master and senior brother. I hope they were captured. But usually, they wore the same clothes as everyone else, making it impossible to distinguish them when they're unconscious from poisoning. Moreover, in the temple, no one wears their name tags either.

  Xi Le finished crying on one side, stood up and flipped through the corpse, continuing to cry.

  And I was almost desperate, afraid to really find someone's corpse, this is a kind of devastating feeling. I found myself unable to continue, on the one hand, it was already completely dark, their faces were almost all destroyed, and it was impossible to know who was who. On the other hand, neither I nor Xile wanted to stay, as with the deepening of the night, I felt that there was a strong resentment around me, making the air thick, and I always felt that there were many things from the past that did not want to leave, with hundreds of eyes watching, in different rooms, it seemed like someone was still doing the same thing as before, only possibly for the last time. Although they all believed in Buddhism, dying in such an unclear way was still hard to accept.

  I walked down the mountain with Jile, and Jile broke the silence: I'm scared.

  I said: nothing, just in other worlds.

  Xi Le said: I always feel like someone is following us.

  Suddenly I was scared by Jile's words.

  I said: It's nothing, they're all people we knew before, coming to see us off, probably wanting us to take revenge or something.

  Xǐlè said: Didn't you say everyone went to other worlds?

  I said: We need a transition period. Now it's slightly overlapping, they're just on the other side. It'll be fine after two days of superimposition.

  Xile said: Who will deliver them?

  I said: That's right, maybe we have to wait for a while, other big temples will send people to temporarily take over here.

  Xile said: I think they won't for the time being, maybe they are all scared.

  What am I afraid of?

  Xi Le said: Afraid of other gangs.

  I said: This won't do, how can all these grudges be avenged, but it's not possible to just go and kill people. From now on, at least for the next hundred years, we won't be able to get along.

  Xile said: Shifu and them...

  I said: Don't worry, I think nothing's wrong. Look, the abbot is fine. Master has always known some things early on, otherwise he wouldn't have sent us away. If Master is fine, then Master Brother should be fine too. You counted carefully, didn't you? It seems like a few corpses are missing.

  Xile said: I'm afraid you'll be sad, so I didn't dare mention it. Then let's not mention it.

  I said: Alright. Let's go to Chang'an immediately. I think that old man should know a lot of things.
