Lotus Pond of Rebirth

Chapter 166
Even if someone showed the way, Bai Mingxi searched for more than 40 minutes before finding it.

This looks like a temple. The courtyard has collapsed and only a few mounds remain. The main body of the temple is still intact, but compared to the houses outside, it looks more ancient and vast.

Bai Mingxi muttered to himself, why did the people from Bureau [-] find such a place to stay?
This place is behind the ancient village, and further behind is a deep mountain. The location is remote, no wonder she can't find a place, and no wonder there is no signal here.

Bai Mingxi took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw that even a bar of signal was gone.

She went in and knocked on the door, but no one answered, so she pushed the door open and walked in. I don't know which gods are enshrined in the temple. The statues of the gods are old and peeling. There was a big table with some cigarettes and tea on it, but there was no one there.

Bai Mingxi stepped forward to touch the teacup, it was already cold.

She turned around and found that there was a door behind the statue. After stepping over the high threshold, she found that there was actually a courtyard with two entrances behind the temple!

She found it strange that the [-]th bureau plus the Maoshan faction, and even those members of the Tianma sect, how could a small temple accommodate it. It turned out that there was a courtyard here.

She yelled a few times in the yard, but still no one responded, she walked in with a frown, and then turned around the main hall and the left and right wing rooms, but found no one.

Standing in the yard, Bai Mingxi saw that the mobile phone had a bar signal, and immediately dialed Ma Anan's number, and this time he finally got through.

The phone was connected quickly, but Bai Mingxi waited for a long time but no one answered, just when she frowned and was about to hang up the phone, a faint voice suddenly came from over there.

"...the taste is good...how many?"

"...three...and..."

"……tasty?"

Then the phone hung up, Bai Mingxi frowned, the voices of the two people were male and female, the female was definitely not Ma Anan, and the other one had never been heard before, they seemed to be eating something delicious again.

Did you go to the wild barbecue?

Bai Mingxi always felt something was wrong.

Looking at the empty yard, she couldn't help shivering. It was still daytime, and if it was night, she would be scared to death if she couldn't keep herself together...

After thinking about it, Bai Mingxi decided to settle down here.

Afterwards, Bai Mingxi went to the village. She wanted to inquire about the situation. With so many people living in, it was impossible for the people in the village not to know.

In the afternoon, there were a little more people in the village. Now it’s not the time for busy farming, and the family is relatively free. There are a few old men sitting together chatting and smoking pipes, and a few women are sitting around the turning mill under the big tree. Guazi chattered, much more popular than at noon.

Bai Mingxi's tense heart relaxed a little, but he found a strange place, for example, the faces of the people here are very pale, the shadows in front of them are thick, and their spirits are not good, as if they always stay up late.

One person can think crookedly, but everyone in the village is like this, so they can't be crooked. There must be some reason for this situation.

Bai Mingxi, an outsider, attracted many people's attention as soon as he appeared.

Being stared at by so many people, Bai Mingxi was a little embarrassed, but he still went up to say hello and asked about the ruined temple behind the village.

The people here are not so xenophobic, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with her as a fair and tender girl.

There were a few broken mouths, and they started to talk to her about the ruined temple.

The one enshrined in that temple turned out to be Huang Daxian, no wonder the appearance of the statue was a bit strange.

No one lived in that temple all the time. The reason for saying this is because occasionally some outsiders come here, of all kinds, most of them go into the mountains to look for ancient tombs.

These people usually live in the yard behind the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and over time, the yard has not been abandoned.

Half a month ago, a group of foreigners suddenly came to the village. Under the leadership of a few Chinese, they lived in the Wong Tai Sin Temple. Afterwards, many people came one after another. A little girl like a brook.

Because of the large number of people, tents were set up outside the temple, and the deserted place suddenly became lively.

"The group of people said they came here for archaeology, but I think they are grave robbers!" An old lady left the melon seed skin on the ground, her dark skin turned pale.

"No way, I don't think it looks like it. You see that there are many young girls in that team, and some foreign girls. They must have taken the exam or something." Another aunt said with a smile, showing her big yellow teeth with a grin.

"That's called archaeology, what else is there to test!" The other daughter-in-law, who was younger, said contemptuously, her face was snow-white, perhaps because she was relatively white?
Bai Mingxi knew that the archaeological team they were talking about was Ma An'an and others. Seeing that they seemed to be a little repelled, he didn't dare to say it clearly. He was anxious, but he pretended to be interested and asked insincerely.

Some people love to listen, and others naturally love to talk.

"Those people are strange. Why do you say they are like grave robbers? They take turns entering the mountain during the day, and disappear collectively at night!"

"That's right, I also heard from Daniel that those people disappeared at night, and they all reappeared during the day!"

"The one who entered the mountain at night was not a tomb robber or something!"

This Bai Mingxi is not surprising, he must have been sent out to search for the lair of some kind of Yinshan ghost, since ghosts don't come out during the day, naturally they have to look for it at night.

"Then why are they gone in broad daylight now?" Bai Mingxi pretended to be listening to gossip. She was pretending to be an intern reporter collecting materials, so she would not arouse suspicion if she inquired like this.

"It's not just today. Those people disappeared three nights ago, and they never appeared again." A daughter-in-law kowtowed melon seeds, stared at her face, and bluffed her face, as if this could scare everyone. scary.

Bai Mingxi's face was obviously much worse, and he didn't come back three days ago... so many people didn't come back, so something must have happened, right?
Seeing that she was frightened, the daughter-in-law seemed to be satisfied, and then said with a smile: "Ms. Reporter, please spread the word to us quickly. Make this place a tourist attraction or something, and we can also get rich."

Bai Mingxi didn't have the heart to say this now, so he hurried back to Huang Daxian Temple after a few words.

It was already late at this time, and she didn't have much field experience. Going into the mountains alone at night would be tantamount to courting death. She could only wait until dawn tomorrow.

Maybe, they will be back tonight.

Bai Mingxi prayed in his heart.

As night fell, Bai Mingxi scattered all the beans, and according to the attack and defense arrangement, he enclosed himself in the 'Vine House', only to release ferocious pea shooters and lentil shooters to guard the gate!
Only in this way can she feel a little safe, otherwise, at the edge of the deep mountains and old forests, in the strange ancient villages, in the deserted temples, even if there is nothing, Bai Mingxi will be scared to death by herself!
When Bai Mingxi had just finished 'arranging the formation', a figure appeared outside the Huang Daxian Temple.
