I glanced at the business card twice and it said he was a freelancer.

I raised my eyes and looked at him.

He scratched the back of his head and looked embarrassed: "Actually, I'm just a handyman. Little boss, don't worry about these details."

I nodded lightly and put away the business card: "Just call me Xiao Xu."

"Okay, Brother Xu." He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, and there was an inexplicable greasy smell about him.

"By the way, Brother Xu, does your shop have a name? What do you usually do? I heard that your business is very profitable, is that true?"

I waved my hand: "It's just a small shop in the countryside. Where did the name come from? The order is the same order. Every line is the same. How can it be different?"

He responded repeatedly: "Well said, Brother Zhi, I like what you said."

Along the way, he and I just chatted, and he always wanted to bring up the subject of everything, intentionally or unintentionally, about gods and ghosts. I could only respond casually and watch out the window at any time to see if anyone was there.

Finally, after chatting with him for a long time, we finally arrived at the station.

"Hey, Brother Xu, please go slowly. We'll contact you later." He said to me before I left.

After getting out of the car, Teacher Kong walked up to me with a mocking look on his face.

"Where to go next?" She looked at me.

I looked at her with some confusion: "Teacher Kong, you don't know?"

She rolled her eyes: "I don't need to know this, I'm too lazy to look at it. You've found it anyway, right?"

I nodded and took out a piece of paper from my pocket. On it were several addresses I wrote before coming.

Teacher Kong took a look and said, "We'll start looking from the nearest place."

The first place happened to be a temple located near the station.

Teacher Kong seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he took me directly and started walking in one direction.

I can't keep up with her.

Originally, we were still walking on the main road, but she walked halfway, changed direction, and entered a few alleys.

I followed her for a while, and the road became more and more gloomy.

We even later walked to an alley where people could only walk sideways. I finally realized that I couldn't help but asked: "Sister Kong, are you sure this is the place?"

She said casually: "Guess."

I immediately wanted to explode, but she still didn't stop, so I had to continue to follow her.

After exiting the alley, I finally took a breath.

Sister Kong also stopped and put her hands on her waist.

There was a wall in front of me. I thought she realized she was going the wrong way, but she said, "Here we are, right here."

I was stunned and looked around: "Sister Kong, are you sure?"

She ignored me and walked straight forward, passing through the wall in front of me who was stunned.

I looked around again, and this place looked really unnatural. How could any temple be built with this kind of Feng Shui? The monks inside might have cultivated themselves into demons long ago.

I also followed her example and walked directly through the wall.

Blindfold.

Behind the deception is a temple that looks normal, but a little less popular.

"Hello? Is there anyone?" Teacher Kong followed and walked forward. Although his pace was still familiar, as if he knew how to walk, the entire temple was empty, and no one came out to answer.

"Where is this?" I asked quietly.

She frowned: "Isn't it the temple you found out?"

Having said that, the atmosphere here was so weird that it made me feel that this place was not that simple.

She finally stopped in front of the Main Hall.

She frowned and squinted for a while: "Come on, let's go inside and walk around."

I followed him step by step.

"Squeak."

The moment I opened the door, a layer of ash fell from the ceiling like snowflakes. Even though I was wearing a mask, I couldn't help but cough a few times.

There was a Buddha statue in front of me, but there was still no one around.

Teacher Kong walked directly into the door with long legs, stood in front of the Buddha statue, folded his hands, and said nothing.

The Buddha statue had accumulated dust, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time. However, the tributes in front of it seemed to have been replaced not long ago, and the candles and incense were extinguished before they were even burned.

I asked carefully: "Sister Kong, what did you see?"

Teacher Kong glanced at me: "Boy, if you don't worship the Buddha when you see him, how can he tell you what's here?"

I understood immediately.

Changed the incense candle and stood in front of the Buddha statue.

Nothing happened.

I looked at Sister Kong with some confusion.

She narrowed her eyes: "Don't worry, let's sit down and wait."

Only then did I realize that there were several futons on the ground.

There was dust on it, almost the same color as the ground.

Only the one in the middle is not stained by any dust. It seems that someone must have been here not long ago.

Teacher Kong showed no intention of sitting down, so I stepped forward and started meditating on the futon.

The incense candles were burning, and the surrounding air gradually became smoky.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, I was already a little discouraged and started to look around: "Sister Kong, is it possible that the problem is not with the Buddha statue? Let's take a look around here."

Teacher Kong didn't say anything, he just raised his chin and motioned me to look up.

I looked up.

It was only then that I realized that the eyes of the Buddha statue, which were originally open, were now drooping and would close completely in a short time.

I quickly sat back down and continued waiting.

The Buddha statue closed its eyes.

"bump!"

The door behind me suddenly closed.

Teacher Kong nodded to me

I stood up warily and stood next to Teacher Kong.

"Click, boom——"

The bottom of the Buddha statue suddenly began to make a loud noise.

The huge Buddha statue moved back at least one meter, revealing a passage leading underground.

Teacher Kong walked straight on without stopping.

I looked at the dark hole, took out the luminous pearl from my bag, and made sure it was safe before going down.

In this underground area, there were stairs and handrails at the beginning. As you go further inside, the traces of artificial construction become less and less.

After walking for a while, we were already in a completely natural underground cave.

Teacher Kong also stopped.

Only then did I follow her footsteps. In front of me were three different cave entrances, all of which were bottomless.

I took a photo with a luminous pearl, but I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Sister Kong? Where should we go?"

She gently raised her hand and made a silencing gesture to me, and said, "Listen."

I calmed down and breathed lightly.

There was the sound of water, mixed with the chirping of some kind of creature.

Teacher Kong obviously heard the sound, and walked towards the entrance of the cave where the sound came from.

I followed closely behind.

The cave entrance was quite big at first, but the further you went inside, the narrower it became.

In the end, we can only crawl forward.

In the end, all I could see was Teacher Kong’s legs.

Because I was really embarrassed to stare, I lowered my head subconsciously.
Chapter completed!
