Chapter 888: Deity Statue

Its a token. Yes, I remember that the elder said something about how he didnt see the clan leaders token. Ah Cai thought for a while and spoke with certainty.

What token is that?

Its the representative of the clan leaders. Seeing this token is like seeing the clan leader. And its said that only the token can enter the clans forbidden area.

Oh? Your clan still has a forbidden area?

Yes, its a treasure that has been enshrined in our clan for a thousand years. Whats wrong, An Ans father?

Yan Kuan thought for a moment and said to the honest Ah Cai:

One of our brothers smuggled it. I dont know if youve seen it before?

Got lost? Thats not good. Ill go out and help you investigate. If someone in our clan sees it, that person will be sacrificed. We cant let outsiders in or out here.

Ah Cai looked extremely worried. He was really thinking for them. If outsiders were really found out by the clansmen, it would be bad.

Brother Ah Cai, dont worry. Our brotherhood has some martial arts. Dont worry about this persons safety.

An Ans father, you dont know. Our clansmen have been practicing martial arts since they were young. No matter how good your skills are, it wont work in our clan.

Oh? You still train your troops?

Thats right. Its been like this since our ancestors pa.s.sed down. We can not plant the land, but we must train our troops.

Hearing Ah Cais words, Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan became more and more curious about this clan. They actually wanted to train their troops in private. However, 19 had indeed suddenly disappeared. If that clan leaders token was really missing, it was very likely that 19 had taken it.

Brother Ah Cai, if you go out and wander around now, it will be easy to alert the enemy. After all, its still very early. If someone sees you at one point, you wont be able to explain it clearly. Anyway, its almost dawn now. When the time comes, Ill have to trouble Brother Ah Cai to help check it out during the military training.

This alright, Ill wait. You guys rest for a while. Ill go and make some food for you.

No need, its still early. Ah Cai and his brother should also rest. Ill bring the children into the bas.e.m.e.nt to prevent them from being discovered.

Alright, An Ans father is still cautious. If theyre discovered, it wont be good. Ill wait for daybreak to help investigate.

Ah Cai personally opened the secret compartment door and let the two carry the children into the bas.e.m.e.nt.

At this point, they had put half of their mind at ease. It wasnt that they completely trusted Ah Cai, but Yan Kuan wasnt stupid. He had placed a detector at Ah Cais door. Once someone approached, it would alert him. Moreover, Ah Cais house was the furthest away from the village. Usually, there would be people coming here, so overall, it was very safe.

Shen Xiaoxiao was already a little tired. Yan Kuans heart ached for her, so he told her to quickly rest. Going to smash two rounds today was extremely exhausting, so it was better to rest well.

We can only look for 19 after we have a good rest. Moreover, 19 is very meticulous in his work. I think he will definitely leave something behind for us. I will wait for Ah Cai to fall asleep before going to take a look. You dont have to worry, my skills will be fine.

You want to go alone?

Yes, you take the children and sleep well. I will be back in half an hour at most. This village is not big, and I will not take any risks. Dont worry, with the three of you around, you are my only weakness. I will not leave you alone.

Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that she wouldnt be able to leave the children behind to follow Yan Kuan to gather information. Now that Yan Kuan said so, she could only nod and agree.

Ill wait for you here. If you dont come back, I wont be able to sleep even if I wanted to.

Yan Kuan looked at her serious expression and knew that it wasnt good to persuade her anymore. This little thing had an extremely weird temper and wouldnt compromise so easily.

Yan Kuan could not wait for Ah Cai to fall asleep, so he immediately got up and walked out.

Waiting was always the longest. However, it was absolutely impossible for Shen Xiaoxiao to abandon the children. She could only hope that Yan Kuan and 19 could return safely.

The village was built very flat and square, with an altar in the middle. To the east was the temple of the village. The sacrifices and wors.h.i.+pping of the villagers were held in this temple.

Yan Kuan kept moving toward the village. When he reached the altar in the middle, he did not find any trace of 19. Instead, when he reached the temple, he saw a small ripple-like mark on a bamboo near the door handle. This mark looked like it had been accidentally scratched, but only Yan Kuan knew that this was the only mark 19 had left.

19 had entered this temple?

Yan Kuan looked at the distance between the temple and the altar. It was very close. According to Budas words, if the Yang-Revolving Pearl was in the deepest part of the altar, then the only exit was most likely this temple.

After Yan Kuan entered the temple, he was shocked by the statue they wors.h.i.+ped. The statue they wors.h.i.+ped was actually a woman.

It was not an ordinary statue of Guanyin, but a woman whose entire body was surrounded by Suoyin flowers.

She had a pretty face and was dressed in ancient clothes. There was actually a Nine-Tailed Snake as a mount under her feet. This statue made Yan Kuan feel that it was somewhat familiar.

There was only one statue in the temple. In front of the G.o.d, there were many offerings of food and fruits. There was no incense, and they probably did not have anything like cigarettes. The entire temple could not be any more ordinary the only way out for Yan Kuan was the deity statue

Was there a hidden compartment under the deity statue of the little old house?

Yan Kuan walked around deity statue carefully and indeed found something different. However, because he had promised Xiaoxiao that he wouldnt take any risks easily, Yan Kuan confirmed everything here and turned around to return. However, before he left, he still used the wrist.w.a.tch on his wrist to take a picture of the deity statues head.

When Yan Kuan successfully returned to Ah Cais family house, it had only been half an hour.

The journey was really smooth. After all, this village could be said to be open at night. At night, it was extremely quiet and safe. This was the only advantage of this village.

After all, there had only been one race in the deep mountains for thousands of years.

Youre back? Are you alright?

Shen Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Kuan return. However, there was no trace of 19 behind him, which made Shen Xiaoxiaos heart tighten again. She looked at Yan Kuan and asked, Wheres 19? Theres no trace at all?

No, there are some clues. If Im not wrong, 19 has already taken the token and entered the forbidden area of this village. I found the only clue he left outside the temple.

Oh? Why did he enter by himself so impulsively?

He probably found something, but I also found something strange. Ill have to ask Ah Cai tomorrow.

What is it?

Take a look. This is a photo I took in their temple. The entire village wors.h.i.+ps this idol.

Idol?

Yes, take a look.

Yan Kuan showed the image of the idol to Shen Xiaoxiao. However, she did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to stand up in surprise. She pointed at the idol and said, Is this Liu Yufei?
