Chapter 218: Land Temple Outside the City
"Who?" Bai Shiqing asked vigilantly.
"Sir, it's me, the waiter." A voice came from outside, "A customer asked me to give this to you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shiqing walked over and opened the door, only to see the waiter standing at the door with a note in his hand.
"What is this?" Bai Shiqing asked after taking the note.
"I don't know either. The customer asked me to give it to you." The waiter shook his head.
Bai Shiqing closed the door and walked to Lin Congyun with the note in his hand: "Grandfather, what do you think this is?"
Lin Congyun took the note and opened it, only to see a few words written on it: If you want to find someone, come to the land temple outside the city.
Her heart moved. Could it be that someone knew that she was looking for someone, so they sent her the clues?
But who could this be?
Lin Congyun thought about it and decided to go to the land temple outside the city to take a look at the situation first.
She took the Bai brothers out of the inn and walked out of the city.
After walking for about half an hour, the three of them arrived in front of the land temple.
I saw that the land temple was in dilapidated condition, and the stone steps in front of the door were covered with moss, which looked extremely desolate.
Lin Congyun led the Bai brothers into the land temple, only to find that it was empty with only a statue of the God of Land standing on the altar.
"It looks like we've been tricked." Bai Shiqing said, looking at the empty land temple, "There's no one here at all."
"Not necessarily." Lin Congyun shook his head, "Look over there."
As she spoke, she pointed to a small door next to the altar.
Upon hearing this, the Bai brothers looked and saw that there was indeed a small door there, which they had not noticed when they came in before.
"Let's go in and take a look." Lin Congyun said, and walked towards the small door first.
Seeing this, the Bai brothers hurriedly followed.
Lin Congyun pushed open the small door and saw a small space inside that could only accommodate four or five people.
At this moment, three people were lying in the small space, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
"Madame Bai!" Lin Congyun stepped forward and saw that the people lying on the ground were Madame Bai and Yuping Yingyue.
The three of them looked pale with their eyes closed, and no one knew what had happened.
"Madame Bai, Yuping, Yingyue, wake up!" Lin Congyun shook the three of them, but found that they had no reaction at all.
The Bai brothers became anxious upon seeing this and hurried forward to check the situation.
"What happened to them? How did they become like this?" Bai Shiqing asked Lin Congyun.
"I don't know either, but we have to take them back to the inn to see a doctor." Lin Congyun said as he was about to carry Nanny Bai on his back.
Seeing this, the Bai brothers hurriedly stopped her: "Grandfather, let us do this."
As he was about to carry the three of them on his back, the small door suddenly closed.
When the Bai brothers saw this, their faces suddenly changed and they hurriedly tried to pull the small door, but found that the small door was blocked by a huge force and they couldn't open it at all.
"What happened? Why did the door suddenly close?" Bai Shiqing said to Lin Congyun.
"We've fallen into a trap." Lin Congyun's face was terribly gloomy. "Someone deliberately led us here just to trap us."
Hearing what Lin Congyun said, the faces of the Bai brothers also turned ugly.
They didn't expect that they were being tricked.
"Ancestor, what should we do now?" The Bai brothers looked at Lin Congyun and asked.
"Don't be impatient. Let me think about it." Lin Congyun said after a moment's silence, "You two should work together to see if you can break this door open."
The Bai brothers nodded when they heard this, and then they pushed hard towards the small door together.
There was a loud bang and the small door shook violently, but it still stood.
The Bai brothers became anxious upon seeing this and knocked on the small door several times in a row, but still failed to break it open.
"Don't knock it, it's useless." Lin Congyun said, "This door must have been blocked by someone. We can't knock it open."
"What should we do then?" The Bai brothers looked at Lin Congyun and asked.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, "You damn old woman, I finally caught you."
When Lin Congyun heard the voice, he felt it was familiar. After thinking carefully, wasn't it Huo Wan'er's voice?
"Little dwarf..."
Before Lin Congyun finished speaking, Huo Wan'er outside had gone mad, "What are you talking about, old woman? Someone, burn this land temple for me. I want to burn them to death."
As soon as Huo Wan'er finished speaking, the maid beside her hesitated, "Miss, will this cause death?"
"Don't worry, she won't die." Huo Wan'er smiled coldly, "Didn't you see how powerful that old woman is? A mere fire won't kill her. Just go ahead and burn her. Even if she dies, I will take the responsibility."
"Yes." The maid said nothing more after hearing that. She turned around and went to prepare kerosene.
When Lin Congyun in the land temple heard what Huo Wan'er said, his face suddenly darkened.
This Huo Wan'er actually wanted to burn them to death. She has such a vicious heart.
"Grandfather, what should we do now?" The Bai brothers heard the conversation outside and became anxious. "If they really set fire to the temple, won't we be burned to death here?"
"Don't worry, we will find a way." Lin Congyun said, looking around in the small space.
Lin Congyun looked up and saw that the top of the small space was covered with dust and spider webs, and it was obvious that no one had been there for a long time. However, in the thick dust, she seemed to catch a glimpse of an unusual light, which came from a tiny crack in the roof.
"Perhaps, that is our way out." Lin Congyun said softly, his voice full of determination and hope.
Upon hearing this, the Bai brothers also hurriedly looked up, only to see that tiny ray of light seemed so faint in the darkness, yet so dazzling.
"Let's give it a try." Lin Congyun said, and then he climbed up carefully, holding tightly on both sides of the gap with his hands, and climbed up with all his strength.
Seeing this, the Bai brothers also hurried forward to help. With the combined efforts of the three of them, they finally opened the gap a little, revealing a hole that could accommodate one person through.
"I'll go up and take a look first." Lin Congyun said, and climbed up first.
However, when she came out of the hole in the roof, she found that the outside was surrounded by Huo Wan'er's men, and there was a familiar face beside Huo Wan'er.
That person was the middle-aged woman who had lost her daughter and was met in the town today. It seemed that when Lin Congyun and his group arrived in Qingyang Town, they were met by Huo Waner's people.
"She's there, quickly catch that old woman!" Huo Wan'er saw Lin Congyun coming out from the roof at a glance and immediately shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Lin Congyun hurriedly jumped off the roof and rushed towards Huo Wan'er.
