Chapter 161 Embark on a new journey
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei decided to go to the ancient temple where the "Spirit Water" might be hidden. They packed their luggage and prepared to embark on a new journey.
Before setting off, the Queen held their hands, her eyes full of reluctance and worry: "Children, the journey is long, so you must be careful." Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei nodded in agreement, comforting the Queen not to worry too much.
They left the palace and traveled all the way from dawn to night. The scenery along the way gradually changed from prosperous towns to desolate countryside, and the road became more and more rugged and difficult to travel.
"Shen Mo, we don't know where this temple is. Can we really find it if we look for it like this?" Lin Yuwei looked at the vast road ahead, feeling a little uneasy.
Shen Mo held her hand and gave her strength: "Yuwei, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up. I believe we will find it."
One day, they came to a remote town. The town was empty, with only a few shabby shops still open.
"This place looks a bit depressed." Lin Yuwei said.
Shen Mo walked towards an inn, ready to inquire for some information.
The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with a weathered face. When he saw them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Dear guests, would you like to stay overnight or have a meal here?" asked the boss.
Shen Mo said, "We are both staying here for the night and for the night. Boss, I want to ask you something. Have you heard of an ancient temple nearby?"
The boss frowned and thought for a moment: "Temple? There is an abandoned temple on the mountain nearby, but it is said that strange things often happen there, so few people dare to go there."
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei looked at each other, and hope ignited in their hearts.
"Boss, please tell us the exact location of the temple." Shen Mo said.
The boss gave them detailed directions and at the end advised: "Sir, I advise you not to go, lest you run into danger."
Shen Mo thanked the boss and continued on his way with Lin Yuwei.
The mountain road was rugged and overgrown with weeds, and they had a hard time walking.
"Shen Mo, I'm a little tired." Lin Yuwei said panting.
Shen Mo looked at her distressedly: "Come, I'll carry you for a while."
In this way, Shen Mo carried Lin Yuwei on his back and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.
Finally, they saw the legendary temple. The gate of the temple was dilapidated and there was a gloomy atmosphere around it.
Shen Mo put Lin Yuwei down, and the two of them walked into the temple cautiously.
The temple was filled with dust and cobwebs, and the Buddha statues were incomplete.
"This place looks really scary." Lin Yuwei grabbed Shen Mo's arm tightly.
Shen Mo comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we will search carefully."
They searched everywhere in the temple and finally found an ancient stone tablet in a secret room.
There are some strange words and patterns engraved on the stone tablet.
Shen Mo studied it carefully: "This may be a clue about the 'Spiritual Water'."
At this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly came from outside the temple.
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei suddenly became nervous.
"Who is it?" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
A dark figure flashed in from the door and stood in front of them.
The shadow had his face covered, so his features could not be seen clearly. He said in a hoarse voice, "You shouldn't have come here. This 'Spiritual Water' is not something you can get."
Shen Mo said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try."
The black shadow sneered and suddenly launched an attack.
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei quickly fought back.
After a fierce fight, Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei gradually gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow turned around and ran away.
"We can't let him run away!" Shen Mo said as he chased after him.
Lin Yuwei followed closely behind.
They chased into a forest behind the temple, but the black shadow disappeared without a trace.
"What should we do?" Lin Yuwei said.
Shen Mo pondered for a moment: "Let's go back first and continue studying the clues on the stone tablet."
Returning to the temple, they looked closely at the stele again.
After some thought, they seemed to understand some key points.
"Yuwei, I think the 'Water of the Spirit' may be hidden under the temple." Shen Mo said.
So they began to look for an entrance to the underground inside the temple.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a secret passage behind the Buddha statue.
The passage was dark and damp, with a pungent smell.
Shen Mo lit the torch, took Lin Yuwei's hand, and slowly walked down the passage.
There was a strange atmosphere in the passage, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time.
"Shen Mo, I'm a little scared." Lin Yuwei said.
Shen Mo comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As we walked, several forks appeared ahead.
"Which way should we take?" Lin Yuwei asked.
Shen Mo observed for a while and pointed to the fork on the left: "Try this way."
They continued along the left fork and suddenly heard a low roar.
"What's that sound?" Lin Yuwei asked nervously.
Shen Mo raised the torch and looked forward, only to see a huge monster appear in front of them...
