C33 (2/2)
It was hard to hide the excitement in his heart as he recounted the story of how he and the police had been pursuing the child's temple for a long time. When he listened to it, Rosen and the others were dumbfounded, while Chen Bailing looked at the child's temple with a face full of worship.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the night. When Rosen and the others went back to sleep, Fang Zhushu found it hard to fall asleep from excitement. He had waited too long for the child's temple to be right in front of him.
As for the words spoken by the old man, Fang Zishu didn't pay them much heed. If this was a Divine Nascent Soul, then it was definitely not something that an ordinary person would be able to see. The temple was in ruins!?
It was just foolishness!
When dawn arrived, the prescription finally fell asleep. In a daze, he felt as if he was trapped in a giant cage of darkness. No matter how he tried, he couldn't break through it.
Just when he was at his wit's end, he was suddenly woken up by someone. He got up and saw that it was already dawn. Chen Bailing had come to wake him up.
His body was already soaked in cold sweat. Fang Zishu heaved a sigh of relief as if he had collapsed. After taking a bath and having some food, the five of them then set off together on their journey.
At the Flying Spring Mountain, the morning mist curled up around it. From afar, one could see flying springs pouring down.
On the small mountain path, the five of them travelled slowly.
It was just as the old man had said. The first part of the mountain road was quite smooth, but the further up they climbed, the harder it was to walk. They were halfway up the mountain, and the dense bushes and brambles had completely sealed off the road.
”Let me do it!”
Little Wu took the lead, brandishing his machete to clear the way. Everyone followed suit and by noon, a small temple appeared faintly in the valley.
”Children's Temple!”
Fang Zishu cried out in alarm and his speed suddenly accelerated. In a few breaths time, he disappeared from the four people's sight!
”Quickly chase them!”
Rosen's expression was very ugly. He called out and chased after her, and the other three of them were stunned for a moment before following after him.
The small temple was divided into the rear courtyard of the front hall. The total area was no more than a few dozen square meters. The front hall was filled with dust and cobwebs, while the shrine was empty.
The backyard was overgrown with grass that was about half the height of a man. The wild rabbits roamed about, making it seem even more desolate and dilapidated.
”Pfft!”
Fang Zishu spit out a mouthful of blood. Feeling dizzy, he quickly supported himself on a large tree to the side.
During this period of time, he risked his life to search for the temple, but when he actually saw the temple, he was instead this desolate and dilapidated.
Anxious, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Fang Zishu seemed to lose his vigor in an instant as he staggered into the temple. The disappointment in his eyes grew stronger, and he didn't even notice the figure that was approaching from behind.
Fang Zishu felt a sharp pain in his head, and everything before him blurred.
”Brother Luo, you!”
Chen Bailing, who had just arrived, covered his mouth in disbelief. With a cold expression, he threw away the stick and fished out a blood clot from Fang Zhushu's chest.
”Hehe, this is a treasure! Since that person on the Yellow River wants it so much, he should be able to sell it for a good price.
