Buddhist temples were a place of serenity.

People came to the temple for learning and education, as well as to practice martial arts and cultivate their minds.

Monks would regularly create a platform for town folk to gather and discuss dao, life's meaning, and seeking the truth.

Recently, town folks have had questions about things they shouldn't know about.

“What is after life?”

“Are there such a ghost in this world”

“I heard from my friend they saw a ghost weiling at night”

“Me too, my friends tell me to not look at mirrors at night.”

After being pressed too many times to answer those questions.

The temple dispatched monks to inform the townlord.

And deploy teams to investigate the rumors.

They found a cult called the Brotherhood.

There is one headmaster, six fathers, and approximately 100 brothers in this organization.

The cult preached mostly in the mind area, they heal or cure people for free with rune magic.

They keeped discussing the afterlife. But did not touch the topic involving ghosts.

“We still have not found solid evidence about ghosts.”

“That your jobs, mages. Are your runes useless?”

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

The head monk jabbed our mage faction. What a sharp tongue. Are monks allowed to use foul language? That attitude.

“I just checked all the runes in town.”

“Everything seems to be fine. In fact, no ghosts have been shown in town. I guarantee.”

Master Anna ended her statement and gave me a quick glance.

There is a freaking ghost, I saw it with my own eyes.

At the very least, one is in my room. Master Anna seemed to warn me not to mention anybody about it.

“You sword practitioners. Did you come across anything?" Lord abruptly inquired.

“Yes, we cut down some lunatics outside the town.”

“I don't think it is linked to any of this Brotherhood Incident.”

“They killed many creatures including humans then stored them inside trees around our towns.”

“ We just killed them all”

The Lord gave those blockhead swordsmen a serious frown.

The Monks and Master Anna looked at each other for a sec then they rushed to the sky.

“Those plant loser schemes to break my runes” Anna said furiously.

“How long can your rune last?”

“Let me check”

Master Anna casted nine runes simulately. three of them circulating around her.

The other three appeared on her chest, left and right palm.

The final three appeared in her eyes and on her brow.

Anna gathered mana from all the runes to her brow.

The runes resonated with the town's runes.

All the hidden runes show themselves in the sky, the earth,and in town hall before vanishing.

“The runes work perfectly fine. But there is something leaking into the town right now.”

“Do you want my temple to help? We can replace your runes with our scriptures anytime”

“No, if I let you do that, those plants are gonna rush us down.”

“The mortals aren't gonna survive”

“Then we just wait here for you to deal with those leaks?”

“Yes, are you capable of handling it? My side is gonna clean those weeds.”

“Sure, let's depart”

Master came back to the town hall. She told us the situation.

She’s gonna do solo cleaning some weeds outside the town.

She assigned us to patch the holes that are going to be leaked inside the town.

“If anything serious happened use this echo stone to contact me”

“I feel this is only the beginning of something tremendous.”

“Use these star stones to track the breached.”

“When you are there, you must prepare to combat and restore it.”

Brother collin took all the stones then stored it inside his rope.

Inside his rope, there are several pockets. I want that as well.

Master, please give me some love.

“Alright, Collin, you led this team. Teach Zost how to fix the breached. Lets go”
