In the time it took Fang Zishu to eat a meal, he had explained the history of the temple to the four of them. Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wen were still able to keep their composure.

"Big Brother Fang, is that child's temple really that magical? can it really defy the heavens and change fate? "

As soon as the words left his mouth, the other three looked over at Fang Zishu, and the enthusiasm in their eyes caused Fang Zishu to sigh inwardly. Sure enough, once a person had desires, they couldn't resist the temptation of the temple.

"I don't know if it's useful or not, but the ancient books passed down in the Fang family shouldn't be wrong. Even if we can't change our fates, there must be other secrets to it."

Fang Zishu took a sip of his fragrant tea, smiled, and said, "Even if there is nothing mysterious about it, it is still a place that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is not bad to roam about in seclusion."

"Makes sense!"

Rosen was the first to applaud and praise him. "Big Brother Fang, you're truly an elegant person. We have to rest for two days before we go back. If you don't mind, can you bring the four of us to broaden our horizons?"

"Yes, yes! Big Brother Fang, just take us there! "

Chen Bailing gently shook the corner of Fang Zishu's shirt. With a look of anticipation, his eyes lit up as he looked at Fang Zishu.

Fang Zishu smiled and nodded. "Alright, it's not far anyway. Since all of you are so interested, let's go!"

Fang Zishu took out the map that his grandfather had given him from his backpack and carefully examined it. According to the records on the map, the temple should be near this place.

After receiving Fang Zishu's affirmation, the four of them showed great enthusiasm and immediately decided to send someone to investigate while the sky was still dark.

The four of them split up. Chen Bailing insisted on going with Fang Zhushu, who pretended not to see the jealousy in Xiao Wen's eyes and happily agreed.

The small town had a small number of people and was economically underdeveloped. There was no nightlife at all. It was only eight o'clock at the moment and there were no longer many people on the streets.

With great effort, the book managed to find a clue in a thirty-year-old key shop.

"You mean the Children's Temple!"

The old man let go of the work in his hands and raised his head to look out into the deep night. His expression was gloomy, as if he was lost in distant memories.

"There is indeed a temple on the Flying Spring Mountain, ten li east of the city. It used to be full of incense and was very lively. People from the neighboring villages would pay homage to the temple during the new year's festival."

"However, since twenty years ago, that place has been ruined and nobody has been there. Young man, this is a temple for children on Mount Feiquan, and even the local young people rarely know about it. How do you know about it?"

Fang Zishu smiled faintly. "Twenty years ago, my family moved away from home, and my father once made a vow in the temple, which was granted by the sect, but by that time, we were gone. Twenty years had passed, and things have changed since then."

Chen Bailin was keenly aware of the crux of the old man's words, "You always say that it was very useful before, but why did it start to crumble ten years ago? What happened in the middle? "

"Sigh, something did happen."

The wrinkles on the elder's face deepened. He frowned and hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

However, Fang Zishu's goal had been achieved. To be able to find the exact clue of the temple was the greatest victory of all.

"Old man, we have to go back too. I won't disturb you. Since you're still at the Flying Spring Mountain, I will go and take a look no matter what."

However, the old man's voice sounded behind his back, "A few months ago, I had something to take care of and passed by. The mountain road has long been destroyed, and there were many thorns growing out of it. Young people, if you want to go, you should wait until daytime!"

"Got it, thank you elder!"

Chen Bailing was the first to return to the inn. After a short while, Rosen and the others also rushed back. The news they received was almost the same as the one in the book.

It was hard to hide the excitement in his heart as he recounted the story of how he and the police had been pursuing the child's temple for a long time. When he listened to it, Rosen and the others were dumbfounded, while Chen Bailing looked at the child's temple with a face full of worship.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the night. When Rosen and the others went back to sleep, Fang Zhushu found it hard to fall asleep from excitement. He had waited too long for the child's temple to be right in front of him.

As for the words spoken by the old man, Fang Zishu didn't pay them much heed. If this was a Divine Nascent Soul, then it was definitely not something that an ordinary person would be able to see. The temple was in ruins!?

It was just foolishness!

When dawn arrived, the prescription finally fell asleep. In a daze, he felt as if he was trapped in a giant cage of darkness. No matter how he tried, he couldn't break through it.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he was suddenly woken up by someone. He got up and saw that it was already dawn. Chen Bailing had come to wake him up.

His body was already soaked in cold sweat. Fang Zishu heaved a sigh of relief as if he had collapsed. After taking a bath and having some food, the five of them then set off together on their journey.

At the Flying Spring Mountain, the morning mist curled up around it. From afar, one could see flying springs pouring down.

On the small mountain path, the five of them travelled slowly.

It was just as the old man had said. The first part of the mountain road was quite smooth, but the further up they climbed, the harder it was to walk. They were halfway up the mountain, and the dense bushes and brambles had completely sealed off the road.

"Let me do it!"

Little Wu took the lead, brandishing his machete to clear the way. Everyone followed suit and by noon, a small temple appeared faintly in the valley.

"Children's Temple!"

Fang Zishu cried out in alarm and his speed suddenly accelerated. In a few breaths time, he disappeared from the four people's sight!

"Quickly chase them!"

Rosen's expression was very ugly. He called out and chased after her, and the other three of them were stunned for a moment before following after him.

The small temple was divided into the rear courtyard of the front hall. The total area was no more than a few dozen square meters. The front hall was filled with dust and cobwebs, while the shrine was empty.

The backyard was overgrown with grass that was about half the height of a man. The wild rabbits roamed about, making it seem even more desolate and dilapidated.

"Pfft!"

Fang Zishu spit out a mouthful of blood. Feeling dizzy, he quickly supported himself on a large tree to the side.

During this period of time, he risked his life to search for the temple, but when he actually saw the temple, he was instead this desolate and dilapidated.

Anxious, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Fang Zishu seemed to lose his vigor in an instant as he staggered into the temple. The disappointment in his eyes grew stronger, and he didn't even notice the figure that was approaching from behind.

Fang Zishu felt a sharp pain in his head, and everything before him blurred.

"Brother Luo, you!"

Chen Bailing, who had just arrived, covered his mouth in disbelief. With a cold expression, he threw away the stick and fished out a blood clot from Fang Zhushu's chest.

"Hehe, this is a treasure! Since that person on the Yellow River wants it so much, he should be able to sell it for a good price.
