The tense atmosphere became even denser.
Thus, aside from some mumbling to oneself, some comforting whispers, and some anxious pacing, the only sounds left in the main hall were Jiang Lu and Zeus cracking bawdy jokes.
"Do you know how to match couplets?" Jiang Lu asked.
"You've taught me; I know a little," Zeus nodded.
"Then I'll say one, and you match it."
"Alright."
"The moon sets."
"The sun rises."
"A disciple."
"A nun."
"Mount Wu."
"White water."
"Leave."
"Come."
"Pretty neat," Jiang Lu said, nodding his head in surprise.
But suddenly, Zeus realized something, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he pushed Jiang Lu: "Hey, you're really bad."
Just then, finally someone couldn't bear the duo who had been idling since entering the temple: "Have you two had enough?!"
They looked up only to see quite a few priests looking at them with disdain.
