Hong Kong film: You were asked to collect debts, but you ended up taking Bao'er to bury people

In the abandoned temple, Chu Tian, ​​Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Zihao sat in a circle, deciding to use the magical artifacts in their hands to deduce the mastermind behind the scenes.

Moonlight streamed through the broken rooftops, bathing the ruins in a serene atmosphere.

Chu Tian closed his eyes and began to silently recite the incantation on the magical artifact.

His voice was deep and rhythmic, as if it came from a distant ancient time.

In this quiet night, time seemed to stand still.

Ding Xiaoyu and Chen Zihao, following Chu Tian's voice, also found themselves in a peculiar situation.

Suddenly, strange images appeared before their eyes.

It was a world full of exotic charm, with blue seas, towering mountains, and deserts everywhere.

The people in the picture live on this land, in all shapes and sizes, full of vitality.

Ding Xiaoyu looked at the images with suspicion and asked, "Is this the mastermind we're looking for?"

Chen Zihao shook his head: "I don't know either, but there seems to be some important information hidden here."

As they stared at the images, suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared in the scene.

This person is wearing a mask, so their face cannot be seen.

He held a scepter in his hand, and there seemed to be a pair of wings faintly visible behind him.

Chu Tian sensed an ominous aura and whispered, "This person seems to be connected to everything we've been through."

Ding Xiaoyu also sensed the uneasy atmosphere. She looked nervously at the mysterious person in the picture and asked, "What should we do?"

Chen Zihao took a deep breath and said, "We should find this person first, and then investigate further..."

Just as they were discussing, the image suddenly blurred, and the mysterious figure seemed to sense their prying and began to disappear from the picture.

Chu Tian opened his eyes and stopped chanting the incantation.

He looked at Ding Xiaoyu and Chen Zihao and said firmly, "We must find this mysterious person and uncover the truth behind all of this."

The images transmitted from the magical artifact gradually blurred, but Chu Tian, ​​Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Zihao obtained a vague location information.

The mysterious figure in the picture seems to live in an ancient city, where there are lush trees and ancient buildings.

Chu Tian pointed to a map and said, "This location should be around here. We need to get there as soon as possible."

The three packed their bags and embarked on their mission to find the mastermind behind it all.

They traveled through town after town, experiencing various local customs and appreciating different landscapes.

One morning, they arrived at the edge of an ancient city.

The ancient city is majestic and magnificent, and the mottled marks on the towering city walls bear witness to the vicissitudes of history.

Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the stone steps of the ancient city.

Chapter 562 Discoveries in Ancient Paintings

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Zihao remarked with emotion, "This place has such a strong sense of history."

As Ding Xiaoyu walked along the streets of the ancient city, she asked curiously, "Where could that mysterious person be hiding?"

Chu Tian looked at the map thoughtfully: "We need to look for clues in this city and see if we can find that mysterious person."

So they began searching for clues throughout the ancient city.

They visited temples and consulted monks about ancient texts;

They visited old houses, trying to find buildings that matched those in the pictures;

They even climbed the city wall, gazing at the distant mountains and rivers, trying to find inspiration.

Just when they were almost in despair, a street performer caught their attention.

The street performer was wearing a mask and performing an ancient dance.

This mask is extremely similar to the mask worn by the mysterious person in the picture.

Ding Xiaoyu said excitedly, "Could this mask be the clue we're looking for?"

Chen Zihao also felt that this discovery was very important: "We should go and talk to this street performer."

So the three of them walked up to the street performer.

They asked the street performer about the origin of the mask, only to learn that it was nothing special, just an ancient tradition.

Although the clues about the mask didn't lead them to the mastermind, the three were not discouraged. They continued to search for new clues in the ancient city.

One evening, Chu Tian, ​​Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Zihao stopped to rest at a tavern in the city.

The tavern was bustling with noise, filled with the aroma of wine and laughter.

The three of them found a corner seat, ordered some snacks and drinks, and began to chat.

Just as they were enjoying this rare moment of leisure, Chen Zihao suddenly noticed a painting on the wall.

This painting depicts a mysterious ritual, with people dressed in unusual costumes surrounding an altar.

The altar in the painting contains objects that are very similar to the ritual implements they hold.

Chen Zihao excitedly pointed to the painting and said to Chu Tian and Ding Xiaoyu, "Look, aren't the ritual implements on the altar in this painting exactly the same as the ones we have?"

Chu Tian and Ding Xiaoyu observed carefully and also felt that the similarity was extremely high.

Ding Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Shouldn't we find the artist of this painting? Maybe he can provide some valuable clues."

The three inquired with the tavern owner about the painting's origin and learned that it was painted by a local artist.

The owner told them the painter's address, and they decided to visit him early the next morning.

The next morning, the three of them arrived at the painter's house.

The painter was an elderly man over fifty years old named Master Zhao.

He warmly welcomed the three of them and introduced them to the background of the painting's creation.

It turns out that the painting depicts an ancient sacrificial ritual that has been lost.

When he was young, Master Zhao accidentally discovered a description of this ceremony in an ancient book, which inspired him to create this painting.

Chu Tian asked Master Zhao if he knew any more information about this sacrificial ceremony.

Master Zhao told them that the ceremony was related to a local legend, in which a mysterious figure held the secret of the ceremony.

Master Zhao told them that the legend about the mysterious figure had become blurred, but there were rumors that he lived in a mysterious temple hidden among the mountains.

Chapter 563 Searching for the Mysterious Man

Upon hearing this news, Chu Tian, ​​Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Zihao decided to search for the temple to see if they could find this mysterious figure.

Guided by Master Zhao, they embarked on the road leading to the temple.

Along the way, they traversed towering mountains and deep forests.

Sunlight dappled across the forest path, and a fresh scent filled the air.

After several days of arduous trekking, they finally arrived at the temple hidden among the mountains.

This temple is simple and elegant, with lush greenery in its tranquil courtyard, as if it were isolated from the world.

They searched for the mysterious figure in the temple, only to find it deserted.

In a secluded corner, they found an elderly monk sweeping the courtyard.

Chen Zihao stepped forward and asked, "Respected Master, we have heard that a mysterious figure lives here. Could you tell us where he is now?"

The monk stopped what he was doing, smiled, and said, "There was indeed a mysterious figure here, but he has left this world."

However, before he died, he left behind a book that recorded the secrets he possessed.

Chu Tian asked curiously, "Where is this book now?"

The monk pointed to the temple's scripture pavilion and said, "That book is in the scripture pavilion; you can go in and look for it."

They arrived at the library and, after searching for a while, finally found the mysterious book.

This book records the life of that mysterious figure and the secrets of the ancient sacrificial rituals he possessed.

The book mentions that this sacrificial ritual is closely related to the ritual implements they hold.

When used correctly, ritual implements can reveal the truth hidden behind the scenes.

The three of them carefully read the book in the temple and gradually learned the correct way to use the ritual implements.

After several days of trekking, Chu Tian, ​​Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Zihao finally returned to the ancient city.

The stark contrast between the city's hustle and bustle and the tranquil temple evoked a flood of emotions in them.

They decided to rest briefly on their first day back in the ancient city to prepare for revealing the truth.

As night falls and the city lights come on, a lively atmosphere fills the streets and alleys of the ancient city.
