Hearing my words, Xiao Xue's face reddened. "I have serious business with you. Don't speak nonsense."

I helplessly said, "What I said was the truth. I really didn't lie to you." Snowy also heard the sincerity in my words and lowered her head without saying anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he said, "How is Mr. Leng, did you wake up?" After all, Mr. Leng had saved us in the tomb, and he felt sorry for him.

Snowy nodded and said, "Mr. Leng had already woken up yesterday. It's just that he was severely injured. Furthermore, he had lost his Reincarnation Heart and was in a bad mood. Someone had already brought him back to treat his injuries."

I nodded. I didn't say anything, and for a moment I didn't know what to say.

The old cultivator pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, this old man will believe you today. Let's go into the tomb together!"

General Lan seemed to have long known that the old Daoist would agree as he smiled and said, "Heh heh, it looks like you have great foresight. Since you've joined hands, why don't you share whatever information you have!"

The old Daoist shook his head and said, "We're not familiar with this place, and we didn't find any clues. It's just that this bundle of dragon ropes appeared too strange, so we came to see if there were any clues." The old Daoist continued to ask, "What about you? "Know what?"

General Lan let out a laugh and proudly said, "We know that this Buddhist temple is called 'Yizi', and that this locust tree only appeared 16 years ago, after the great change in the Hu village."

The old Daoist was stunned and revealed a thoughtful expression. He muttered to himself, "It's true. Why does this name sound so familiar?"

General Lan was overjoyed. He endured the happiness in his heart as he said calmly, "Is it true that you know this?"

The old Daoist was also unsure and said with some hesitation, "I seem to have heard this name before, but it's been a long time and I can't remember it."

General Lan was also a bit helpless as he said, "You're really old and have a bad memory."

The old cultivator's expression became serious as he said, "Brat, if we join hands now, that doesn't mean I have to give in to you no matter what!"

General Lan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just a habit, that's all."

The old Daoist gave a cold snort and did not reply. For a moment, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

At this time, Lin Ziqiang said, "Master, shall we go and take a look at this temple?"

The old Daoist waved his hand and said, "There's no need to look, if there was anything in this temple, it would have been taken by someone long ago." He even glanced at General Lan as if to say that he'd long since taken the items inside away.

General Lan did not feel awkward and said with a mischievous smile, "I did indeed come here, but I didn't find anything. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here today."

The old cultivator pondered a bit and said, "Yes, if there really is anything in this temple and it has been lost for so many years, then it is useless to look at it. I will go back to the mountain to look for ancient books and see who this monk is." This was Lin Ziqiang who suddenly said, "Master, do you think that this monk is also real?" The old Daoist man's face trembled and said, "Yes, I remember now. Before Monk Dingshan left home, he was named Luo Yizhen!"

I was also shocked in my heart. So that's how it is, this is really Dingshan. Dingshan went missing 30 years ago, and he really came here 30 years ago. Dingshan monk entered the tomb, so it isn't weird for him to know about the situation in the tomb.

General Lan's expression was also grave as he said in a low voice, "That makes sense. I just didn't know that Dingshan is still alive." "If he didn't die, everything would be clear as long as we find him. If he died …" General Lan paused for a moment as he spoke. If this Dingshan really did die, then everything would return to its starting point.

The old Daoist looked very serious and said, "Right, now we must be sure that this Monk Dingshan is still alive. If he's still alive, we must find him. If he's dead, then we must forcefully break through. Even if it's not for that thing, we don't have much time left!"

General Lan started and said, "Could it be the Miasma?" The old Daoist nodded his head heavily. General Lan hurriedly asked, "About how much longer?" The old Daoist said heavily, "I can't be sure either. It could take at most half a year or at least a month." General Lan's expression was ugly as he said, "Dammit, why didn't I think of that then?"

I was confused and wanted to secretly ask Snowy about it, but I saw that other than the old Daoist Priest and General Lan, everyone else looked confused.

The old Daoist said, "I presume that you also know how serious this is." Seeing General Lan nod, the old Daoist continued, "In this way, we'll make some preparations. You and this Hu Tian Yi will go find some clues about Monk Dingshan. I'll go visit some old friends of mine. No matter what happens, we'll meet here in a month and we'll go to the grave together!"

The old Daoist didn't know that I was a tomb guardian and was a bit hesitant when he saw me. However, he believed that General Lan wouldn't do anything useless and would just choose me.

General Lan thought for a moment and said with a deep voice, "Alright, that will be a month's time. We'll go down together then!"

The old Daoist was also straightforward and said, "In that case, I'll leave this place to you. This old man will take his leave first." With that, he turned around and walked down the mountain. Lin Ziqiang and the others quickly followed, but Snowy hesitated. She turned her head to look at me as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. She sighed and walked away.

I looked at the back of Xiao Xue's back in a daze. I always felt that this scene was familiar to me, but it was the opposite. At that time, Xiao Xue had sent me off with her gaze.

General Lan arrived at my side at some point in time and said with a lewd smile, "Have you taken a fancy to that young lady and can't bear to leave?" He returned to his rogue look, as if the one with the heavy expression wasn't him. This sudden change made me uncomfortable. I didn't say anything for a long time. When General Lan saw that I didn't say anything, he said shamelessly, "I guessed it right? Look, you're so scared that you can't speak anymore."

I ignored his teasing and seriously asked, "The yin aura you just mentioned was from the huge change in yin aura we saw in the tomb? Didn't Lin Ziqiang already tell you? "Why do you only know now that you don't have much time?"

General Lan was still smiling mischievously as he said, "Lin Ziqiang, this brat, is lacking in ambition and talent. He doesn't even know what this means. He's just telling me that his yin aura has changed greatly." "If you had told me what it was, I would have thought of a solution a long time ago."

I curiously asked, "What can you do?" General Lan's expression changed as he said awkwardly, "Of course I have a way. You don't need to care about that."

I also saw that he was weak on the outside and looked at him with disdain. "Just what does this huge change in yin aura mean? Why do you and the old Daoist looked like you were facing a great enemy?"

General Lan laughed and changed the topic. "We are here to look for clues. Let's go inside the temple." Then, ignoring me, he went straight to the ruins of the valley.

I knew that he wouldn't tell me no matter how much I asked. Helpless, I took out my Yin Yang Eyes and followed him into the ruins.

This was the place where the Yang Qi of the Pearl Bead was gathered. Although it was now in ruins, the moment it entered the area of the buddhist temple, it gave off a feeling of warmth that was the complete opposite of that of the locust forest. The Yin Yang Eyes in his hands seemed to have warmed up a lot, as if he really liked this environment.

It was a small place, with only a main hall and two rooms, one for the old monk and the other for the kitchen. Even the walls of the hall had collapsed. The golden body of the Alchemist Buddha statue in the middle was long gone, revealing the clay sculpture inside. However, for some reason, I kept having the feeling that the Buddha statue was smiling, as though it was alive. Looking at the Buddha statue, I seem to have forgotten my worries.

At this moment, the two Yin Yang Eyes vibrated slightly. I instantly woke up and was astonished. This Monk Dingshan was indeed powerful. This Buddha statue had been abandoned for 16 years. I didn't expect it to have such an effect.

General Lan smiled as he looked at me. "You've woken up. If you're awake, quickly check if there's anything strange about this place."

This guy knew that I was captivated by the Buddha statue, but he didn't save me. Although I had Yin Yang Eyes and everything was fine, I was still angry and said, "The strangest thing here is this Buddha statue!" He didn't remind me.

General Lan giggled and said, "You have Yin Yang Eyes and you've met a Buddha statue that has been lost for sixteen years. Of course you'll be fine. Besides, I'm training you in advance to deal with the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

I ignored him and looked around with my Yin Yang Eyes, hoping to find some clues. But other than the Buddha statue making the reincarnation eye react a little, the rest of the temple was just a pile of ruins, completely worthless.

General Lan was nervously staring at me as I walked back and forth in the temple. When he saw that my Yin Yang Eyes didn't have any reaction, he refused to give up and said, "Why don't we go to the other room and check it out?"

Although I didn't think there could be any clues in the chamber, I still carried a glimmer of hope into the chamber.

The room was covered in dust, and even the bed where Monk Dingshan used to live had turned into a pile of rotten wood. Holding the Yin Yang Eyes, I went through the rooms one by one, but as expected, there was nothing.

General Lan's face was filled with disappointment, but I felt that something was amiss. I couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it's strange? Why is there no trace of a mouse in the room that has been empty for so long? "

As everyone knew, mice were the most tenacious type of rats. Not to mention abandoned houses, even some of the more inhabited houses in the countryside would have rats. The mice had been abandoned for so many years, yet there were no traces of rats.

Hearing what I said, General Lan looked at me with disdain and said, "Nonsense! This is the place where the Yang energy in the Bead's Eye is gathered. There aren't any Viper Worm Ants in the first place. Only a fool like you would ask such a question."

I felt a little awkward. Even some ordinary people knew about this, but I had never come into contact with it, so I asked in a silly manner. I hastily changed the topic. "I've already found this. There's nothing here. What do we do now?"

General Lan said gloomily, "What can we do if we can't find him? We can just find someone to help us. Don't worry about it, we're hungry. Let's find a place to eat first."

It was already past noon, and it was indeed time for lunch. He nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go eat first." With that, he walked out of the temple with General Lan.
