The three of them returned the same way and soon found Xiaolan and the others.

"Taki, Anko, Yukiko... Onee-chan, why are you here?"

Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.

Conan frowned. Why was his mother hanging out with Kitagawa Taki again?

Thinking of this, Conan walked up and pulled Fujimine Yukiko aside.

Beichuan Taki said: "We are here for something, Xiaolan, weren't you traveling? Why are you here?"

"We're saved! Brother Kitagawa, our car has a flat tire." Kogoro Mouri came forward as if he had seen a savior.

Xiaolan explained: "We came here to enjoy the cherry blossoms."

Beichuan Taki nodded and said, "It's getting late now, and it's still a long way down the mountain. Brother Maori, I think you should stay at that temple like us!"

Maori Kogoro said helplessly: "Okay, but brother Beichuan, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Maori Kogoro asking questions, Kitagawa Taki had no choice but to say, "Exorcism."

Maori Kogoro shuddered, "Is there a ghost or monster here?"

After he met Kitagawa Taki, he became skeptical about these things and had long lost his previous firm materialism.

Beichuan Longdao: "Not necessarily, so it's better not to go at night. Besides, this mountain road is too difficult to drive on."

Kogoro Mouri nodded quickly.

On the other side, Fujimine Yukiko was squatting and talking to Conan.

Conan said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, why are you hanging out with Kitagawa Taki again?"

Fujimine Yukiko narrowed her eyes slightly and reached out to twist Conan's ear, "What do you mean by slacking off? I, your mother, came out to do something serious. Do you think I have to stay at home every day?"

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about you!" Conan wanted to cry, "By the way, didn't Dad call you and ask you to go to New York?"

"So it was you who instigated this." Fujimine Yukiko sneered, "Without me in New York, isn't it just right for him to be free and easy?"

Conan smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, you must have misunderstood Dad. He is not that kind of person."

"Hmph, that's enough, stop interfering in our affairs!" Fujimine Yukiko said meaningfully: "You should worry more about yourself!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Conan didn't understand what Fujimine Yukiko was referring to, but she had already stood up and left.

"Brother Beichuan, are you here to exorcise ghosts?" Conan followed the crowd. He was a little curious about the business his mother was talking about.

"It is said to be Mist Tengu." Kitagawa Taki glanced at Conan, wondering why this kid cared about this.

Tengu?

Conan curled his lips.

……

Kitagawa Taki returned to the temple with a few people.

When Monk Tianyong saw another person coming to visit, his face was so bright with smiles.

Seeing that several of them seemed to know each other, he asked, "Are you three here to stay the night as well?"

Maori Kogoro explained: "Yes, our car had a flat tire, so we wanted to stay overnight."

"Okay, 10,000...20,000 yen for adults, and 10,000 yen for children!"

Monk Tianyong was just about to say ten thousand, but quickly changed his words.

Only then did Kitagawa Taki realize that they seemed to have been ripped off. This monk was too dishonest.

"What? Twenty thousand yen?" Kogoro Mouri was shocked that this shabby temple charged such a high price.

"The three of them are all charging the same price. We're always fair to everyone!" Monk Tianyong's smile instantly disappeared. He said coldly, "If you don't want to stay, you can just walk down the mountain in six hours."

"No, no, we didn't say we wouldn't stay overnight."

Kogoro Mori was speechless. This monk had quite a temper.

He took out his wallet, counted the money, and looked bitter.

After extending the car rental fee, repair costs, and accommodation expenses, he has very little money left for alcohol this month!

Monk Tianyong regained his smiling face and said, "Okay, Kuannian, take them to their room."

The room of Kogoro Mouri and his companions was arranged next to that of Taki Kitagawa and his two companions.

It can be divided up again, with the three men living in one room and the three women living in another.

……

Soon it was time for dinner.

Kuan Nian came to call everyone to eat, and on the way passed by a locked room.

Conan left the group, walked straight over and pushed open the door of the room.

"Little brother, you can't just go in there!"

Seeing this, Kuan Nian hurriedly chased after him.

Conan turned a deaf ear to him, walked into the room and glanced around.

"This place looks like a warehouse! The ceiling is so high!" Conan looked up and was shocked by the height of the ceiling.

"What room is this?" Kogoro Mouri followed in.

Kuan Nian explained and urged, "This is the training room. Let's go!"

"Excuse me, why are the colors of the wooden boards here different?" Conan asked, pointing to a corner of the wall.

Kuan Nian's expression changed, and he forced a smile and said, "Little friend, let's go eat! This is nothing."

After saying that, he pushed Conan out without caring about Conan's reaction.

Conan looked back again. This temple seemed to be hiding some secret.

The dining room.

The temple prepares set meals, and everyone's meals are exactly the same.

The taste is okay, but it's a bit too simple.

During this period, Xiaolan asked a lot of questions about monks.

Japanese monks are more like a profession and most of them do not have to abide by the precepts.

Kuan Nian introduced with a smile: "During our vacation, we will go to the beach together!"

It seems that as long as you don't mention the matter of Mist Tengu, this monk is quite kind.

Conan looked at Kuan Nian and interrupted, "Master, I want to ask you something about Mist Tengu."

"Little boy, where did you hear that? It's better not to ask about such things." Kuan Nian didn't intend to say more.

Beichuan Taki put down his chopsticks and said, "Master Abbot, can you tell me about Mist Tengu?"

Monk Tianyong's expression changed and he was about to say something, but after seeing Beichuan Taki's actions, he held it back.

Beichuan Taki took out his wallet, counted out several banknotes from it, and placed them in front of Monk Tianyong. "These are my donations to the temple."

"No problem, no problem." Monk Tianyong accepted it with a smile.

Conan rolled his eyes. What kind of monk is this? Is it so real?

Monk Tianyong said, "Legend has it that on rainy nights, the Tengu sneaks into villages like fog, uses brute force to break down walls and capture people, then hangs them from tall tree branches and eats their flesh."

"But don't worry, it's just an old legend."
