Chapter 161 Mystery of the Ancient Temple



Snap!

The stone door that had been sealed for who knows how many years suddenly opened a crack.

Suddenly, a thick smoke rolled in, and the four people standing outside the stone gate quickly dodged to the side to prevent the poisonous smoke from being inhaled into their lungs.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

The wind from inside the ancient temple rubbed against the crack in the door, making a wailing sound. In the thick smoke, people wrapped in black robes staggered out from the door, mixed in with the strong wind.

The four of them couldn't help but widen their eyes. How could there be someone here?

However, within five steps, these men in black robes fell to the ground one after another, and the wind blew up their robes, revealing what was underneath.

They were actually some bones that had been dried and yellowed for many years.

About half an incense stick later, all the noise and movement slowly calmed down, and the surroundings returned to peace.

"This ancient temple has been closed for many years, and the resentful spirits inside have not dissipated, wandering in the darkness all year round. We have leaked the feng shui inside the ancient temple, which is equivalent to breaking the evil spirit. You don't have to worry." A strong man took out a feng shui plate and comforted.

"Brother, I still feel it's weird. Is this really the place where the monk Cai Weng Fu Gong Bao practices as the rumors say?" The thin young man standing behind the sturdy man muttered.

His name is Wang Chengze, a treasure hunter from the folk of Yangzhou Prefecture. He is good at using flying claws to grab things, climbing steep cliffs and steep slopes, digging holes and exploring deep underground. He is a first-class treasure hunter.

The sturdy man in front of him was called Luo Changbao. He knew a little about Feng Shui surveying and was actually an internal force warrior. His favorite thing to do was to climb mountains and cross rivers to search for treasures.

The man and woman standing on the other side of the ancient temple gate, the man's name is Dong Xing, who knows some medical skills, and the woman's name is Hong Moli, who is good at Qinggong and also knows the art of setting traps.

These three people are the treasure hunting team formed by Luo Changbao. They run around a lot on weekdays and have extremely rich experience.

Once upon a time, there were three very famous weird brothers in the Jiangnan martial arts world.

No one remembers their real names, and others only know their famous nicknames.

Mr. Wealth, Mr. Rich, and Monk Bao.

These three people are all famous masters in the martial arts world, but what is more impressive than their strength is their greed for money.

As long as it is related to making money or even just something close to it, these three people are willing to do it, and over time they have accumulated a lot of wealth.

No one knows how huge this wealth is. When Mr. Cai, Mr. Fu and Monk Bao were over 70 years old, they retired from the world and never appeared in the world again.

People in the underworld only knew that they were hiding somewhere in Jiangnan, and had hidden all their life savings in a place of cultivation. If anyone could find this place and that huge amount of gold and silver, he could become the richest man in Jiangnan overnight.

Luo Changbao has been secretly investigating this rumor since he entered the treasure hunting business. Some people think it is false, while others are half-believing and half-doubting.

Luo Changbao was the one who believed it completely. After years of investigation and intelligence collection, Luo Changbao finally found some clues. Following these clues, he finally found this abandoned ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains and forests with the members of his treasure hunting team today.

He was very sure that this was undoubtedly the place where the three men practiced and died, and that the wealth they had accumulated throughout their lives was hidden in this ancient temple, quietly waiting for the next owner to appear.

Seeing that his companions looked very cautious, Luo Changbao took out the large fire starter he carried with him, opened the lid and blew hard.

"I'll go in and scout the way first, you guys hurry up and follow me." Luo Changbao pulled the silk mask around his neck to his nose bridge and took the lead and walked directly into the door.

Seeing that he had risked his life, the other three were reluctant to stay there any longer. After covering their faces with airtight masks one by one, they followed Luo Changbao into the ancient temple.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the bronze bell hanging at the highest point of the ancient temple, which was covered with dust several inches thick, suddenly started to ring by itself. The gloomy bell sound echoed among the deep mountains and lingered for a long time.

There was no light in the dark ancient temple, and the entire lighting depended on the fire sticks in the hands of Luo Changbao and others.

After entering the door, you will see a lobby with walls on all sides. There are no tables or chairs, no stairs, and it is extremely spacious and clean.

In the four corners of the lobby, there are four tall stone statues made of unknown material. They hold iron hooks and scissors in their hands, and are wrapped in iron chains. They have ferocious and angry faces, and no one knows what the meaning is.

Generally, places where such ugly stone statues are placed have more or less certain rules to follow. Luo Changbao, who knows a little about Feng Shui, couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.

"Brother, this place seems to be this big. There are no doors or windows, no stairs, and the roof beams are also empty. Could there be a secret passage or something?" Dong Xing said.

"Go check around first to see if there are any mechanisms or secret passages. Be careful. According to legend, Mr. Cai, Mr. Fu, and Monk Bao are three strange men. They built the ancient temple here, probably not for spiritual practice, but as a gift for their own tombs in the mountains after death." Luo Changbao reminded.

The other three people's expressions suddenly became serious. They had not thought so much about it before, but after hearing what Luo Changbao said, it was not impossible.

So the four of them immediately searched around the lobby, trying to find some valuable discoveries.

Among his three companions, Luo Changbao is most optimistic about the only female, Hong Moli. This woman is proficient in mechanical engineering and has a different vision from ordinary people. Naturally, she is more likely to discover some details that others can't think of.
