After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Chapter 66: Ruined Temple Secret Room

Huang Jiuyuan touched his head and thought, he usually thought he was very smart, but he didn't expect that he was so stupid today. He still felt ashamed when he thought that he almost harmed Helan Xuenuo.

Fortunately, Helan Xuenuo is fine.

Xiao Yuanzhao leaned against him and fell asleep. He didn't dare to move and could only stare at the two people sleeping in the car with his eyes wide open.

Prevent anything from happening again.

Only by looking at it can you feel at ease.

The carriage drove for a long time before arriving at the dilapidated temple.

The driver let out a "whoosh" and everyone in the car suddenly woke up.

Helan Xuenuo did not sleep, but just closed her eyes to rest, so as to avoid Huang Jiuyuan's interrogation. She was a little annoyed looking at Huang Jiuyuan.

After they got off the bus, they saw only a lonely, dilapidated temple in the wilderness. It was truly dilapidated, with most of the tiles having collapsed, leaving only three sides covered. In the center stood a statue of Guanyin, but it also looked dilapidated, clearly no one had offered incense to it.

The grass around it grew in a haphazard manner, some yellow and some green, completely covering the dilapidated temple.

If I stay here at night, I don’t know if there are any wandering ghosts.

Helan Xuenuo asked the coachman to wait for them outside the carriage.

The four of them pushed aside the uneven weeds and walked towards the dilapidated temple.

Huang Jiuyuan scratched his body and complained, "What are you doing here in the wilderness?"

Helan Xuenuo showed a scary expression and said gloomily, "I'll catch ghosts."

Huang Jiuyuan was so frightened that he grabbed the corner of her clothes, buried his head behind her, closed his eyes, and then quietly opened one eye, "Where is the ghost? Where is the ghost?"

Xiao Zhu was so scared that he stuck to Helan Xuenuo, looking around with a frightened expression.

Little Yuanzhao was already hugging Helan Xuenuo's thighs, trembling. He didn't seem to be that scared when he was just being held hostage, but now he was shaking with fear all over.

Helan Xuenuo looked at the three of them and shook his head, "I'm just kidding you. Where are there ghosts in this world? Even if there are ghosts, are they as scary as humans?"

Huang Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He immediately let go of Helan Xuenuo's clothes, touched his chest, and said, "You scared me to death. You can't joke like that. If you scare us to death, you'll be dragging three corpses back to the city."

Xiao Zhu glanced at Huang Jiuyuan and said, "What are you talking about dead people? How unlucky! Pah, pah, pah."

Seeing Xiaozhu's serious look, Huang Jiuyuan had no choice but to cooperate and said "Pooh, pooh, pooh" three times.

Xiao Zhu turned around with satisfaction and asked Helan Xuenuo, "Miss, are you talking about this dilapidated temple? What could be hidden inside?"

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

Huang Jiuyuan heard their conversation and said with a wicked smile, "So you're here to dig for treasure."

Helan Xuenuo didn't answer him and led them into the dilapidated temple.

There was dust everywhere in the dilapidated temple. The dust was very thick and it flew over their faces as they walked. The four of them started coughing.

The temple was in a dilapidated state, with spider webs of all sizes in the corners.

In the middle stood a statue of Guanyin, buried in dust and looking gray.

Seeing this statue of Guanyin, Helan Xuenuo was deeply moved. She thought that her rebirth must be due to the mercy of Guanyin who gave her the opportunity to live again.

She didn't have any perfume on her, and there was none in the carriage either, so she asked Xiaozhu to go to the carriage and get some fruits. These were all brought by Xiaozhu with her, and she wanted to give them to Helan Xuenuo as a token of her appreciation.

After Xiaozhu came back, Helan Xuenuo placed the fruit in front of Guanyin, and she bowed reverently.

The three of them also followed suit and bowed.

Next, Helan Xuenuo began to look around. She really couldn’t understand what this place was. What could be put in just a few thin walls?

Huang Jiuyuan imitated her and looked around. Frowning, he asked, "Are you really here to dig for treasure? What kind of treasure could this dilapidated temple hold?"

Helan Xuenuo replied, "Of course there is, but I don't know where it is hidden."

Little Yuanzhao offered his opinion in a baby voice, "There are thin walls everywhere, so it's impossible to hide anything. Could it be hidden underground?"

Helan Xuenuo agreed, "That makes sense."

Little Yuanzhao started jumping around, stomping around. Huang Jiuyuan was covered in dust from his jumping and yelled, "Stop jumping, you damn kid! You're covering my face with dust."

Little Yuanzhao looked unhappy and cast his eyes towards Helan Xuenuo, hoping that Helan Xuenuo would support him. He said aggrievedly, "Grandfather once said that wealthy families throughout the ages would dig secret rooms to hide treasures. Secret rooms are hollow, so compared to other solid ground, the sound will be different. I'm just trying to see which piece of land is hollow. There might be treasures underneath."

Helan Xuenuo touched little Yuanzhao and said to Huang Jiuyuan, "That's enough, stop bullying a child."

Huang Jiuyuan said, "I know!" He then smiled and looked at Xiao Yuanzhao and said, "Not bad, you are so smart. Is your brother even smarter? Take me to meet him someday."

Xiao Yuanzhao curled his lips and said, "No way."

Helan Xuenuo admired Xiao Yuanzhao, and they followed Xiao Yuanzhao's method, stepping and knocking around.

Suddenly Huang Jiuyuan shouted, "Come quickly, come quickly."

The three of them swarmed towards Huang Jiuyuan's corner. Huang Jiuyuan knocked on the ground with his knuckles, and an echo came from the empty space below. He stood up and knocked on a nearby piece, which made a very dull sound.

He returned to the patch of floor he had just been on and said with certainty, "It must be this one, but...how do I open it?"

Huang Jiuyuan turned to look at Xiao Yuanzhao, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has your omnipotent grandfather ever told you?"

Little Yuanzhao became proud and said, "Yes, my grandfather said that the key to the secret room is usually hidden in some place that seems possible but not impossible."

Huang Jiuyuan said, "What's the difference between this and not saying anything?"

Xiao Yuanzhao said angrily, "Better than you, you are as stupid as a pig."

"You...you damn kid..." Huang Jiuyuan reached out and pinched Xiao Yuanzhao's face, and Xiao Yuanzhao kicked him.

Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu found it very funny to see the two of them arguing back and forth.

Ignore them too.

Helan Xuenuo looked around and strolled to the front of the Guanyin statue. Looking at the fruit in front of her, her eyes drifted to the base of the Guanyin statue. She reached out and wiped the dust, and found that there was an area that was lighter in color than the other places. It looked like it had faded due to being touched for many years. She could probably confirm that this was the switch, and pressed it without hesitation.

The floorboards on that ground bounced inwards, and Huang Jiuyuan happened to be standing on that floorboards. He fell down and screamed in pain, "Help!"

The sound came from underground, empty and hollow.

Little Yuanzhao immediately crawled near the cave entrance, looked inside at Huang Jiuyuan, and laughed.

Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu hurried to the cave entrance and looked inside. Huang Jiuyuan looked at them with a reproachful look. He got up from the ground and saw a stone ladder on the side. He was about to climb up the ladder.

Helan Xuenuo said, "Don't come up, I'll go down."

Huang Jiuyuan had just stepped onto the stone steps but then retracted his foot.
