Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"Hongzi, can you show it to me?" Fujimine Yukiko asked with anticipation.

Koizumi Hongzi snapped her fingers, and a ball of purple flame instantly appeared at her fingertips.

Beichuan Taki took a glance and said, "Don't play with fire in the car!"

"Whoo~"

Koizumi Hongzi extinguished the flames in one breath.

"Great!"

Because of Kitagawa Taki, Fujimine Yukiko had no doubt about the authenticity of Koizumi Akako's identity.

"By the way, Hongzi, have you finished the spider silk from last time?" asked Kitagawa Taki.

Koizumi Hongzi rolled her eyes at Kitagawa Taki and said resentfully, "No, how could it be so fast? I work so hard for you every day, and you don't even come to see me!"

"Uh... there's been a lot going on lately."

Come to think of it, it seems he hasn't been there for a while.

Fujimine Yukiko gossiped: "Why do I feel like you guys are..."

Koizumi Hongzi didn't shy away from it, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing: "Oh hahahahahaha, Taki is the man I absolutely want to conquer!"

Fujimine Yukiko looked at Kitagawa Taki jokingly.

Kitagawa Taki had nothing to say, and Koizumi Akako really couldn't forget this.

For the next few hours, she kept chatting with Koizumi Hongzi about magic.

I don't know if Koizumi Hongzi was in the mood or something, but she didn't hide it at all.

"Taki, haven't we arrived yet? My butt is sore from all the shaking." Fujimine Yukiko complained.

"It should be soon."

Beichuan Long has already driven more than ten kilometers of mountain road, and this is the only way to go up and down the mountain.

Koizumi Hongzi laughed and said, "Only in such desolate places like this can you find monsters!"

"That makes sense!" Yukiko Fujimine's eyes lit up.

"But then again, the weather here is terrible! It's so gray in the middle of the day, and it's not raining."

"Does anyone really come to a temple built in a place like this?"

What Fujimine Yukiko said does make some sense. Not only is the mountain road here difficult to walk on, it also looks eerie.

"arrive!"

While they were talking, the car drove through a dense forest, and suddenly the view opened up, and a bare cliff appeared in front of them.

Shanni Temple is built on the edge of a mountain. A waterfall flows down from the mountain, falls on the temple's plank road, and then flows to a lower place.

“This temple is well built!”

Several people got out of the car.

Entering the temple, Kitagawa Taki knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

After a while, the sound of faint footsteps was heard coming from inside.

An old man with a white beard opened the door.

The old man glanced at the well-dressed people and said with a stern face, "Who are you? I take it you're from a newspaper or TV station?!"

Beichuan Taki said: "You misunderstood, we are here to stay overnight."

The old man's expression changed immediately, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Stay overnight? Why didn't you tell me earlier? The cost of accommodation, meals, and sightseeing is 20,000 yen per person."

Wow, that’s quite expensive.

However, no matter how expensive it is, I have to stay here, because there is only one temple on this mountain.

Kitagawa Taki took out six Fukuzawa Yukichi cards from his wallet.

The old man took it with a smile and introduced himself: "I am Tianyong, the abbot of Shanni Temple."

Monk Tianyong then turned and shouted towards the temple: "Come out quickly, everyone! It's a rare opportunity to have such distinguished guests!"

Then, four little monks walked out of the temple.

Monk Tianyong then introduced the four people one by one:

Kuan Nian who has practiced the longest, Tun Nian who is good at cooking, Mu Nian who is good at carpentry, and Xiunian who is the newcomer.

Monk Tianyong said, "Kuannian, Xiunian, you two should take a few guests to have a good look around the temple!"

Afterwards, Monk Tianyong took the other two and left first.

"Everyone, please follow me!" Kuan Nian made a "please" gesture.

"The monks here are very realistic!" Yukiko Fujimine whispered in Kitagawa Taki's ear, not afraid that others would hear it.

Beichuan Taki nodded. Monks also need to eat!

The two monks took a few people around the temple.

The temple is quite ordinary, nothing special about it.

Beichuan Taki simply asked directly, "Master Kuannian, I heard that there are fog tengu around here?"

But when the two monks heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They asked seriously, "Guest, where did you hear that?"

This strange reaction made Kitagawa Taki suspect that there was something fishy going on.

Beichuan Taki said perfunctorily: "It's just hearsay."

"Then it's better not to know too much. This is not a good thing!"

Then, Kuan Nian said, "Guests, I will take you to your accommodation."

The three of them looked at each other and followed.

The so-called living place is a room with tatami mats inside.

"Please rest in this room! I'll come and call you for dinner."

After saying that, Kuan Nian took Xiunian away.

"This temple seems to be hiding something!"

Detective Yukiko is online.

"Let's go for a walk around first! We can talk to the abbot about the rest during dinner tonight."

Money makes the world go round. Beichuan Taki saw that the monk Tianyong was a money-loving person, so he didn't believe that he couldn't convince them to talk.

Several people then left the room.

Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Mu Nian who was sweeping the floor.

"Where are you going?"

Beichuan Taki replied: "It's still early for dinner, let's go for a walk around the neighborhood."

Mu Nian nodded and said, "You can go shopping, but you must come back before dark!"

After saying that, he didn't say anything else and just started sweeping the floor.

The three of them looked at each other, this monk was acting so mysterious.

The group left the temple and walked up the mountain along the path.

Just above the temple, there are many cherry trees on the top of the mountain, and there is a stream, which is the source of the waterfall.

"The scenery at the top of this mountain is quite nice!" Fujimine Yukiko said. "How is it? Is there anything suspicious here?"

Beichuan Taki shook his head, "Nothing has been found yet."

Koizumi Hongzi said, "Didn't the little monk just tell us to go back at night? Maybe the Mist Tengu only appears at night."

"That's right!" Fujimine Yukiko wasn't afraid at all. "Then let's sneak out at night."

Kitagawa Taki walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the temple below the mountain.

But I saw a car driving down the mountain and stopped not far from the temple.

"Xiaolan?"

Three people got out of the car. They were Kogoro Mouri, Ran and Conan. Kogoro Mouri was squatting and seemed to be checking the tires.

Kitagawa Taki remembered that Xiaolan said they were going on a trip and invited him and the Miyano sisters, but he had plans, so he had to refuse.

I didn't expect to meet you here.

"Where, where?"

Yukiko Fujimine also came over to take a look, but could only see a few ant-like human figures.

"Taki, your eyesight is so good!" Yukiko Fujimine exclaimed in amazement.

Beichuan Long smiled and said, "Let's go down and take a look. They seem to be in trouble."
