Chapter 1863


    "There was an infertile couple and they went to pray for a son. In the end, the wife really became pregnant upon returning a weekter. There were


    those whose businesses were about to go bankrupt. They came to burn incense and their businesses grew after they got back. There were also


    those who came to pray about their universities, and their results in the national college entrance examination improved by leaps and bounds..." The


    driver continued.


    "Anyway, there are various rumors spreading far and wide. Therefore. many more peoplee to the Lunar Temple to pray. There are even people


    coming from overseas just to pray and offer incense here.”


    "There are too many people here and it''s a remote area. In addition, the poor roads contribute to major traffic like this,” the driver helplessly said.


    After hearing the stories, Fade found it hard to believe and he couldn''t help but say, "Is it really that efficacious? It doesn''t seem possible!"


    The driver said, “I don''t really believe it either. However, there are many who do. The rumors are getting more and more genuine. I have a rtive in


    the vige and he prayed for a week before receiving a cup of sacred water. After he drank it, his rheumatism got better. However, there has recently


    been a rumor that the Lunar Temple isn''t that efficacious anymore."


    "Whether it''s real or not, I believe everyone''s intentions are good. I''m nning toe and pray during my spare time as well," the driver said.


    Fade nodded when he finished speaking. However, he didn’t say anything. They waited for another ten more minutes but the car was stuck on the


    road and was unable to move.


    Upon seeing this, Fade took out his wallet and paid the driver before continuing on foot.


    There were a lot of people who made the same choice as him and decided to walk. However, almost all of them carried bags of different sizes.


    The mostmon items seen in the bags were scented incense and paper money. Some people even brought stacks of paper about Bodhisattvas


    and Buddha. Some rich people even held stacks of cash.


    As the distance wasn''t too far away, Fade had reached the intersection in fifteen minutes as a result of his fast-paced walking.


    One could see that the concrete road ended here. Thereafter, the road was divided into two. The left side was bustling and filled with cars and people


    as they were headed in that direction.


    From a distance, Fade could see a bright temple at the foot of the mountain. There were manynterns shining brightly and the sound of drums and


    gongs shook the heavens. It was all very exciting.


    That was obviously the location of the Lunar Temple.


    On the right side of the intersection, the path led into the woods. It was sparsely popted. That was the location of the ancient tomb Yankee and the


    others were investigating.


    Fade strode towards the right path after ncing at the fanatical people on the left.


    After walking for about twenty minutes, he was deep in the woods


    At the entrance of a valley, he saw the flicker of mes and heard some voices.


    "It seems that the tomb is located inside the valley,” he thought and walked into the valley.


    Yankee came out as soon as she saw him. She skipped over with a smile and said, "Brother Chen, you''re here!"


    He nodded with a smile before following her to the tent in the mountains.


    Upon settling his luggage in the tent, she poured him a cup of hot tea. "Brother Chen, it must''ve been a hassle for you to rush over on such short


    notice,” she apologized


    He took the tea and sipped it before asking. “How''s your teacher''s condition? How about I go take a look at him now.”


    She replied, "My teacher has been in aa. We called for a doctor but he couldn''t diagnose what was wrong. We just considered bringing him back


    to Capital City for treatment."


    "However, as soon as he leaves, we''ll have to stop all archeological work on the temb. The temb will be damaged as the situation isn''t optimistic as of


    now," she added.


    He nodded in agreement. When he


    first enteredthe valley, he had taken


    a look around. There was a small ->


    tomb int the valley and parts of it its


    were damaged. If it wasn''t repaired


    in tisde, the tomb couldbe ?


    destroyed.

    Just as Yankee was chatting with Fade, an anxious voice sounded outside. Someone barged into the tent and said, "Yankee, it''s not good, Hassad


    has been..."


    The voice came from a young man who wore sses in his twenties. He stopped talking as soon as he saw Fade.


    Upon seeing this, Yankee quickly introduced him, "Brother Chen, this is Hallim Zhou, my ssmate from archeology school."


    "Hallim, this is Fade whom I''ve mentioned before. He''s a great doctor and I''ve invited him to take a look at Mr. Hu,” she added.


    "Dr. Chen!" Hallim looked at Fade before speaking in a hurry, "Yankee, Hassad has been abducted by the people of the Xu family vige.”


    "What?" She was shocked and immediately asked, "How dare they do that. Where did they bring him?"


    Hallim was anxious and said, "The


    Xu family brotight Hassad to the


    Lunar Temple They said that

    "Nonsense, this is total nonsense.” Yankee eximed, "They even believe such superstitions.”


    "They still believe in all these things. We tried to exin it to them but we failed. They''re huge in numbers and we couldn''t stop them so we could only


    let them take Hassad away," he helplessly said.


    "This is total recklessness. If something happens to Hassad, it would be a huge loss to the archeological world. I''ll go take a look!" She was very


    anxious as she got up.


    Fade understood the situation and got up with her. "Yankee, I''ll go with you to get Hassad back!"


    Hallim lookechworried as he saw


    their hasty movements. "Yankee,

    Fade spoke in a deep voice and said, "Rx, they won''t dare touch you with me around.”


    "But..." Hallim was still worried


    However, Yankee had already set out with Fade. "Hallim. if you''re scared, you can stay here and wait for us!" Yankee said.


    "I, 1... will go with you!” Hallim hesitated for a moment before rushing out with a shovel.


    The three of them moved together and rushed to the Lunar Temple.


    Half an hourter, it was already dark but the surroundings of the temple were still bright and bustling with people.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The small temple was only about ten square meters but it was now crowded with many people.


    There were hundreds of candles and incense burning at the door. There were even piles of paper money burning everywhere on the surrounding


    ground.


    Many people were kowtowing and whispering. They kept praying for their wishes to be granted.


    There was an old Bodhisattva statue in the temple with a stretcher ced in front of it.


    There was an elder with white hair lying on the stretcher. He was unconscious and didn''t move at all.
