The two walked for an unknown amount of time before they gradually saw the mechanism built against the wall. The gears were running day and night, and the noise of the machinery became louder as they went down.

What they didn't expect was that the stone lion was connected to a river underground, and the exit of the stone steps was very hidden. When they went out, they finally saw the long-lost sunshine.

Gu Xiaoning closed her eyes and felt the warm sunshine.

"This is the bottom of the mountain. It seems that we have to go up the mountain again to pick up the car." Gu Xiaoning checked the time, it happened to be eleven o'clock at noon.

"I didn't expect us to stay in that ghost place for three days and three nights."

"Let's go, go out first."

When the two appeared at the entrance of Shenshan, all dirty, the tourists were shocked.Someone hastily called the staff.

Gu Xiaoning excused that the two had sneaked into the mountains and got lost, and the staff let them go with suspicion.

The two went to the best restaurant in the scenic spot to have a big meal. Outside the restaurant, two staff members stood not far away and looked at them from time to time.

"Hey, you said these people are real, have you ever seen such handsome villains like the two of us?" Chen Shu picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing contentedly.

"We don't care about anyone like this. Let's pay attention later." After all, it's better not to get into unnecessary trouble. They have more important things to deal with when they go back, so they can't waste too much time.

"Yes." Chen Shu listened to Gu Xiaoning's words: "The boss will bring you another big plate of white meat."

"Okay, come right away."

Gu Xiaoning still stuffed his mouth full of meat, he was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and eating dry food for a few days was simply torturing his taste buds.

The two ordered a lot of meat dishes and almost wiped them out.The clerk was dumbfounded, and Chen Shu yelled, "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a big stomach king?"

"The guests really have a good appetite. I wonder if the two guests are full?"

The dirty appearance of the two of them scared away many customers. If it weren't for the fact that they were covered with famous tags, he wouldn't have received them. The clerk just wanted to send the two giant Buddhas away quickly.

"Check out." Gu Xiaoning naturally saw through the clerk's thoughts, he returned the power bank to the front desk, and gave the clerk a lot of tips.

"Do you know any shopping places near here?" Gu Xiaoning didn't want to go out with this slovenly image since he was full of food and drink.

"Yes, yes, yes." The clerk received a lot of benefits and his service attitude changed drastically.

After all, it is a mountainous scenery, and the place to shop is incomparable to the various flagship stores in shopping malls in the city.The two went into the small clothing store and picked out two sets of comfortable clothes.

I went to the hotel to wash up again, and finally changed into the clothes I just bought, so I wouldn't be so embarrassed.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Go up the mountain to pick up the car."

Fortunately, it is Saturday and Sunday, you can take the cable car up the mountain.

When they got off the cable car, they saw a car parked on the left side of the temple. Gu Xiaoning walked over and opened the car door.A bald-headed monk in cassock came over and said, "Hello, benefactor, I am the abbot here."

"Hello." Gu Xiaoning said politely.

"Can the donor have a chat?" the abbot asked.

Gu Xiaoning said generously: "Of course."

In the reception room of the temple’s backyard, the abbot is counting prayer beads in his hand.

"I've heard about the benefactor."

"Oh?"

"If I'm not wrong, the benefactor should be the little brother Gaoren?" the abbot said lightly.

"How did the abbot know?" After all, only the Rong family knew about it!How could the abbot of this sacred mountain know?
"If the old man's guess is correct, the benefactor should have just come out from the stone lion, and he must have entered the tomb where the Rong family was buried for generations, right?"

"The benefactor, don't be nervous. The old monk and Rong Gaoen have been friends for many years. I know something about the Rong family." The abbot explained.

"Rong Goun?"

"Son of the Rong family."

"What else do you know?" Since it was related to the Rong family, Gu Xiaoning naturally continued to ask.

"About a year ago, Rong Gaoen found me and told me about you, guessing that you might come here." The abbot took out an envelope from the box behind him: "Please let me give this to you."

"How did he know I would come?" Gu Xiaoning asked in surprise, and took the envelope from the abbot.On the envelope was written To My Brother.

"For generations in the Rong family, the body ages at an accelerated rate after the age of 25. At that time, Rong Gaoen's body was aging like an old man in his 80s. He guessed that it was an expert, so he came to ask me."

"So that's it. I did go into the Rong family's mausoleum, but I wanted to find the elder brother of the Rong family. Unfortunately, he had already passed away when I went." Gu Xiaoning tightened his strength unconsciously, and tugged at the envelope.

"Everyone has their own destiny. We have been carrying different missions since we were born. There is no regret when we die after fulfilling our personal mission. Don't take it to heart."

"I know. But the abbot has also gone in?" Gu Xiaoning was curious whether the abbot had gone in, but there are dangers everywhere, and there are two giant pythons guarding the Rong family's tomb inside and out, and ordinary people may not be spared if they go in.

"I never went in. Rong Gaoen has been living there since he came back a few years ago. He never invited me in. I think he has his reasons." The abbot looked very indifferently.

"Brother Rong's family is also doing it for the abbot's good, there..." Gu Xiaoning's serious expression goes without saying.

"The letter also wishes the donor to forward it to his brother."

"To be honest, his younger brother passed away a few days earlier than him." Gu Xiaoning suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and explained.

The abbot was obviously stunned for a moment, then regained his calm expression: "That's it."

"Every generation of the Rong family suffered because of me. I will investigate this matter clearly and hope to solve the mystery." He did not believe that Rong Chao was just out of gratitude.Something must have happened back then that he didn't know about.

It was already midnight when they drove back to the city from Shenshan. The two of them had consumed too much energy these past few days, and they didn't have the energy to rush back overnight, so they stayed in a hotel near the train station.

As soon as Gu Xiaoning lay down, he heard a knock on the door: "Who is it?"

"Room service." A clear female voice sounded outside, and Gu Xiaoning opened the door indifferently.

Taking advantage of Gu Xiaoning's opportunity to look down at his phone, the woman immediately squeezed in, then closed the door and locked it.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Xiaoning looked at the woman in front of him who was wearing heavy makeup and dressed in cool clothes. The smell of inferior perfume exuded from her body made his nose itch.

"Don't be afraid, little brother, he is not a bad person." The woman leaned on Gu Xiaoning as she spoke.

Gu Xiaoning avoided the woman, and frowned: "I don't think you are some kind of room service, get out of here before I can talk properly."

"Oh, brother. Come on."
