Chapter 440

After lunch, Abbot Faxin was taking a nap in his room when he was suddenly disturbed by Mòmíng, who rushed in looking flustered. Abbot Faxin slowly got up, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to Mòmíng's account. Then he nodded slightly, seemingly having already made up his mind. He told Mòmíng not to panic, but to take Zixiu to the secret room to hide temporarily, and no matter what happened outside, they should not come out to ask about it. Seeing that his master was calm, serious, and spoke with absolute authority, Mòmíng lost his previous sense of panic. He turned and left his master's room, leading Zixiu—who was dozing off in a chair in the backyard—into the secret room to hide.
