Chapter 160: Rebuilding The Buddha Statue (Part 2)
Miao Zhen exhaled. She could smell a nice fragrance around her. It was the smell of her soul burning. Miao Zhen looked at Zhang Tianyou and said, “Tianyou, I still have something to do. Stay at home. If you’re healthy tomorrow, leave this place. If you’re still like this, you have to leave this place too. Remember what I taught you. No matter what, you’ll survive.”
Zhang Tianyou’s eyes turned red as he flew into Miao Zhen’s arms. “Grandma, without you, who else in this world will protect me?”
Miao Zhen gently stroked Zhang Tianyou’s hair. “Silly child, if no one protects you, then you’ll have to become strong. You’ll become so strong that you don’t need anyone to protect you. If the heavens don’t give you what you want, then go get it yourself.”
Zhang Tianyou nodded.
Miao Zhen patted his back. “Alright, Grandma doesn’t have much time. I can’t delay any longer.”
Only then did Zhang Tianyou let go of Miao Zhen reluctantly. She stood up and did not use her walking stick anymore. Her body was still hunched, but her footsteps were firm. She took a box and left.
Her turbid eyes emitted a light that was difficult to ignore.
It was already afternoon. Miao Zhen brought her tools and went to the temple. The huge statue was lifelike. This was how she looked when she was young, but it was difficult to associate her with the Buddha statue.
When people put their faith in her, her strength would increase.
The eight formations that she had set up were placed in eight different houses. They were all small Buddha statues. They were formations that were constantly giving her strength.
Liu Sanniang had only destroyed one statue. It was still not too late if it was repaired in time.
The village chief said respectfully, “Granny Miao, thank you for your hard work.”
Miao Zhen waved his hand. “You guys rest first. After midnight, come and invite the Buddha.”
……
The village chief nodded. He was a little curious as to why Miao Zhen had become so energetic. When she went out, she had walked slowly with her walking stick. Now, she was in good spirits as if she had become many years younger.

He was curious but didn’t ask.
Miao Zhen was the only one in the temple. She brushed the golden water over the statue and it quickly became gilded, shining with holy light.
After gilding, she took out another small black pen, dipped it in black liquid, and began to draw some patterns on the Buddha statue.
As time passed, Miao Zhen’s face began to sweat. The light in her eyes gradually faded. She took a breath and smelled a faint stench. Her eyes darkened. The patterns on the Buddha statue were almost done.
Xia Qiluo came to watch the situation after dinner. The highlight was in the latter half of the night. When she arrived, Miao Zhen had already finished drawing. Xia Qiluo walked in and said, “Why are you drawing these?”
Miao Zhen exhaled and said, “To invite the Buddha.”
Xia Qiluo had a lot of doubts. She looked at the Buddha statue and saw that it was a woman. She looked kind and fairy-like. Xia Qiluo said, “Which Buddha is this woman? Why haven’t I heard of her?”
Miao Zhen took a deep breath and said, “There are many unknown Buddha statues in this world. This one is probably the Goddess of the Sea. The fishing village has believed in her for decades.”
Xia Qiluo replied flatly. “Is that so?”
Miao Zhen nodded. “Yes. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone else.”
Xia Qiluo snorted. “I’m not interested.”
Miao Zhen looked away. “Miss, take your time. I’m going to call for help.”
She heaved a sigh of relief. Although Xia Qiluo was tricky, she was easy to deal with.
Xia Qiluo looked at the Buddha statue and was not interested. She thought about Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan and smiled wickedly before turning to leave the temple.
Compared to this Buddha statue, she was more interested in Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. Those two made her very angry.
When Xia Qiluo arrived, Xu De and Xu Shun were dozing off. Xia Qiluo said angrily, “I told you to keep an eye on her. Why are you sleeping? If she runs away, you’ll be the sinners who harm the entire village, understand?”
Xu De and Xu Shun jolted awake.
“Open the door. Let me see if they’re still there.”
Xu De and Xu Shun opened the door obediently. Seeing that Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were still there, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Yan’s cold gaze swept over her and Xia Qiluo uncontrollably shuddered with fright. She regained her cold expression and asked. “What are you looking at? You’ll suffer.”
Why was this person so annoying? Why was his gaze even more terrifying than her father’s, the emperor?
Chu Yan looked away and reached out to shake Liu Sanniang. His voice was gentle. “Sanniang, wake up.”
Liu Sanniang woke up from her meditation.
After waking up, Liu Sanniang felt very comfortable. It was the feeling of being full after eating.
Xia Qiluo curled her lips. “You can still sleep? Are you really not afraid of going to the coffin?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo. “Miss Xia, it’s not too late to destroy the Buddha statue yet.”
Xia Qiluo snorted. “You want me to go, but I won’t. This matter started because of you. Even if something happens, it will be your fault. Don’t try to fool me. Do you think I can be easily fooled?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “The cause and effect will be judged by Heaven. It’s not up to us. If Miss Xia is not afraid, we can just wait and watch.”
Xia Qiluo frowned. “Hey, why do I find everything you say so annoying?”
Liu Sanniang replied with a shrug. “Same here.”
Xia Qiluo was so angry that she stomped her feet. She had come over, wanting to anger Liu Sanniang, but instead of angering her, she was the one becoming angry first.
Xia Qiluo stormed out. She wanted to see what would happen and what kind of disaster would befall her. She did not believe what Liu Sanniang said.
Xu De and Xu Shun looked at Liu Sanniang, who had a calm expression, and felt puzzled. They were locked up and were about to receive severe punishment, but why weren’t they flustered at all?
Soon, the village chief sent someone to bring Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan to the temple.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked towards the temple. Almost everyone in the entire fishing village was present. When Mr. Xu and Xu Xue saw Liu Sanniang, they said worriedly, “Miss Liu, Mr. Chu…”
Why didn’t they run? If they didn’t run, their life would be in danger. These villagers had been deceived by Miao Zhen.
