Chapter 187 Thief

What you fear will come true. I just came here and encountered this kind of thing again not long ago.

Two minutes later, Lu Chengchuan returned to the hotel.

"What's going on? What are those guys doing at Xianzang Temple?" Zhou Yaning quickly pulled people in and asked.

"I heard there's a treasure in the front hall of Xianzang Temple. They might want to steal it."

"Treasure? What kind of treasure could it be? Where did you hear this rumor?" Zhou Yaning still didn't know what was going on after hearing it. When did the treasure appear in Xianzang Mountain?

"I heard it from others. I went up the mountain to relax and saw two people acting suspiciously. I learned from them that these three guys came out later..."

He didn't know the details, nor did he go into the hall to look for the treasure. He heard everything from those two people.

"I will report the matter to the director first and ask him to negotiate with the people in Hedong Province."

As for stealing treasures, Zhou Yaning really didn't know what was worth stealing. She was even more afraid that it was the cultists who wanted to cause trouble again.

"Xiao Ling, is there a mysterious meteorite near Anjiang City?"

"I don't remember. A meteorite fell in Hedong Province, but not here."

Qian Xiaoling's words made her even more confused. If there was no meteorite, why would the cultists steal things? Could it be that the founder of Xianzang Temple really left behind treasures?

"Let's go up and check again tomorrow. If those thieves appear again, can we recognize them?" Zhou Yaning planned to go up tomorrow and check it out personally.

"Yes, I will remember their scent. As long as they appear in front of me, I will be able to recognize them."

"That's good. Rest up. I beg you not to wander around anymore."

The Taoists should be searching the mountain now, and Zhou Yaning was afraid that he would be seen by the Taoists if he went up the mountain.

"Don't worry, Captain Zhou. No one can find me if I don't want to show up. Even if the Taoist priest sees me, no one can stop me if I want to leave." Lu Chengchuan was confident.

But having said that, he still went back to his room to rest.

On Xianzang Mountain, after searching for several hours in vain, the Taoist priest returned to his residence in the back hall and came to a room.

"Brother, we didn't catch those thieves."

"Those five people are all superpowered and are not from the same group. I don't know how they escaped."

The person sitting in the room was Huang Ting, the abbot of Xianzang Temple. He was sitting on the bed in meditation and slowly opened his eyes after hearing his junior brother's words.

"In the past few days, we must take strict precautions and nothing can happen before or after the exchange meeting."

"I will ask the younger generations to be more vigilant. If it really doesn't work, we will go find the police and ask them for help." The Taoist nodded in agreement and he also made preparations.

But he was very curious: "Brother, I don't understand, did the ancestor really leave anything behind?"

"Who knows? For hundreds of years, many people have said so. Master himself said so too, but we have been searching for years and there is no so-called treasure at all."

Huang Ting and his friends have lived here since childhood and are familiar with everything here. If there really are treasures, it would not be the turn of outsiders to take them. The people in their Xianzang Temple have already used them.

Huang Ting felt somewhat helpless. This kind of thing had happened before, but those were all ordinary people, at most professional thieves, not people with super powers like there are now.

Even the supernatural beings are eyeing the treasures of their Taoist temple. What will they do in the future?

The next morning, Lu Chengchuan and the other two got up, had breakfast, and immediately headed towards Xianzang Mountain.

The Xianzangshan Taoist Temple is holding an event, and the officials have issued some special passes. Some of these passes allow you to enter without buying a ticket, and you can also ride the sightseeing bus for free.

The three of them came to Xianzang Temple again, and there was a group of people there early in the morning.

What happened that night did not spread, but Zhou Yaning still saw many Taoists patrolling back and forth, as if they were looking for someone.

The scene was not like this yesterday. Zhou Yaning and the others were standing in the crowd. She asked Lu Chengchuan to look at the people coming and going to see if those people would turn back.

From morning to noon, countless people came and went, but Lu Chengchuan did not sense the breath of five people.

At noon, when they left the front hall, Zhang Chengyan called and said that he had already reached an agreement with the Investigation Bureau of Hedong Province. The other party would send people to investigate and also let them investigate in secret.

It’s not known whether the person came or not, and Zhou Yaning and the others didn’t find any suspicious persons.

In the evening, when the scenic spot was closing time, all the tourists went down the mountain, and Lu Chengchuan and his friends also left.

"Do you still want to go up the mountain to relax tonight?" Zhou Yaning asked him in a low voice on the way down the mountain.

"It depends on the situation. I don't think those guys are that brave. I think those Taoist priests are also on guard. I'm afraid it won't be easy to take action tonight."

Whether to go up the mountain or not was not a problem for him. It would only take a few minutes for him to go up.

Xianzang Temple is already prepared. If he were those little thieves, he would not choose to go there at this time.

"Besides, are there really any treasures there? I took a look today, and it's still unclear whether there are any treasures there."

He really didn't see or sense that there was any treasure in the hall. If it could be hidden from his perception, then others would probably be groping in the dark when looking for it.

"Yes, where is the treasure, Captain? This can't be a lie. Who would put the treasure in such a place? It must be a lie." Qian Xiaoling didn't believe that there was a treasure in it either.

She searched everywhere today, leaving no corner untouched, but there was nothing there.

"I haven't investigated it either. They say it existed hundreds of years ago. Who knows if it's just something someone made up."

In the final analysis, does that treasure exist? If it really exists, why do the people in Xianzang Temple put the treasure in the main hall? Isn't this clearly inviting people to steal it?

In the restaurant, several people were eating. They looked at the sky outside and Lu Chengchuan said

"I'll go up and take a look later at night."

There's nothing to lose by going up and taking a look. I have nothing to do anyway.

"Be careful not to be discovered by them."

Since it was a matter of cult members, Zhou Yaning didn't care about other issues as long as he didn't get discovered.

After dinner, Lu Chengchuan waited until after twelve o'clock in the evening. When the time came, he went out to prepare to go up the mountain. Before going up, he sent a message to Zhou Yaning to keep in touch.

On the mountain, Lu Chengchuan came to a familiar place again.

This time he didn't meet anyone on the way. He walked to the front hall and found a Taoist priest patrolling nearby.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming to steal anything, Lu Chengchuan quietly walked towards the back hall.

His figure flashed in the darkness and he could move to another place in an instant. Soon he came to the back hall and walked to the area where the Taoists lived.

"Brother, is what they said true? Are those man-eating guys targeting us?"

As he was walking, Lu Chengchuan heard a slight sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and quickly moved to the shadow outside the room.

Relying on his terrible hearing, Lu Chengchuan eavesdropped on the conversation inside from outside.

"How did they know someone came to steal things last night? I specifically told them not to do that. It's impossible that we told them. Does they have some magical power?"
