Chapter 509: Sinful Dream Hua Shang (Nightmare) 17

The temperature in the mountains is particularly low in the morning.

A Cai got up early, quickly put away the formation plate, and then went back to the tent to continue her nap.

As soon as seven o'clock in the evening arrived, the sleeping soldiers seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. They suddenly opened their eyes and vigilantly scanned the surroundings for any movement.

When Brigade Commander Peng learned that everyone slept exceptionally soundly last night, his face instantly turned ashen.

He hurriedly grabbed Director Ying and trotted to find Staff Officer Liu.

"What happened to us last night? Why did he faint? Moreover, he was inexplicably sent back to the tent? This ghost is too 'kind'!" Brigade Commander Peng's words were full of sarcasm.

Facing the questioning from Brigade Commander Peng, Staff Officer Liu appeared unusually calm.

He was busy washing up, his toothbrush swirling around in his mouth. The foam in his mouth made his words slurred. "Good intentions? If we weren't, we'd probably have become their companions by now."

Upon hearing this, Director Ying trembled all over, as if he felt the pressure of the mountains again.

He said in a trembling voice, "All the soldiers on patrol yesterday also fell asleep in their own tents. Although their positions were a little disorganized, they were all safe and sound."

Staff Officer Liu quickly washed up, wiped his mouth with a towel, and frowned, "This is deep in the mountains, and there's no one patrolling. Is it true that there are no wild animals at night?"

Hearing this, several people around nodded, and an inexplicable fear surged in their hearts.

If there were really wild beasts around, they would probably become their meal.

Chief Yu happened to stroll over and heard their discussion. He said solemnly:

"Hurry up and get the archaeologists here, move the books away, and let the national security department take over. The situation here is really testing our nerves."

...

Inside the tent, Tong Jiawu gently rocked Ah Cai, "We have to get out of the mountains quickly. Tong Shishan and Tong Shiqi are waiting anxiously outside."

Ah Cai opened her eyes dazedly: "It's only been two or three days, and they've already completed the mission?"

Tong Jiawu said with a smile: "Of course, what are these scumbag men and women? Just set up a trap and send them to jail. What's there to delay?"

Ah Cai suddenly came to her senses: "Did they complete their mission perfectly or extremely perfectly?"

Tong Jiawu shook her head: "How would I know? I guess it's just in a completed state."

Ah Cai nodded, quickly stood up, took out the [self-controlled toilet] and [temperature-controlled shower room], went in and started washing up.

Tong Jiawu prepared breakfast for her.

Ah Cai finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. She looked around and asked, "Where are those little ones? Did they go out to play?"

Tong Jiawu set the table and said with a smile, "That's right, they went to the Taoist temple early to wait for the arrival of those cultural relics experts."

"The more mysterious something is, the more aware they will be and the more they will protect the documents. Only then will their level of attention be raised." A Cai chatted with Tong Jiawu while wiping her hair.

After the two men finished their meal and walked out of the tent, they found that the atmosphere among the soldiers around them was somewhat tense.

Ah Cai wiped her nose and went to clean the Taoist temple embarrassedly.

"How can I get them to take this seriously?" Ah Cai swept the fallen leaves with a broom in hand, thinking about a powerful move she'd make to scare the cultural relics experts...

...

When the first ray of sunshine rises quietly.

The deafening roar of a helicopter could be heard faintly on the horizon, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

Ah Cai poked her head out curiously, her eyes flickering with surprise. "Oh my, this is quite a scene! So many helicopters, how many people are coming?"

Tong Jiawu leaned close to Ah Cai's ear and whispered, "Chief Yu personally called this morning to urge us, and even alerted the special national department, so they rushed here in such a hurry."

"However, they need help. Otherwise, the initial preparations alone in these deep mountains and forests will be enough to exhaust them."

A Cai looked at the elderly men who hurried down from the helicopter. Their steps were so hurried, and their faces were full of anxiety and expectation.

She nodded with satisfaction, secretly admiring that these people were quite sensible and knew the urgency of this trip.

It seemed that the only thing in the eyes of this group of old men was the dilapidated Taoist temple, and they turned a blind eye to everything else. They walked straight into the Taoist temple that had been through many hardships.

Old Man Wei frowned and asked doubtfully, "When was this Taoist temple built? We've been searching for so long, but we can't find even a trace of record."

His assistant was busy searching for information on the computer, but was severely scolded by Old Man Wei.

"When I asked you to look up information, all you did was stare at the computer? The information in the computer was also input by people. Why don't you look up those written materials and historical documents?"

Seeing this, Old Su hurried forward to comfort Old Wei, "This Taoist temple looks like it has at least hundreds of years of history. Don't blame the kids. Don't we old guys know nothing about it either?"

Director Feng of the museum quickly followed, his expression solemn, saying, "We've been researching chronologically, but we've only looked back a few hundred years. There are very few records of this Taoist temple. There are only a few vague references in unofficial history that hint at a Taoist temple once existing here."

After hearing this, Old Man Wei was filled with grief. "I am truly heartbroken that our country's cultural treasures are in such dilapidated condition. If we cannot restore this lost history in time, I will never be able to rest in peace!"

A Cai watched the performance of the old men quietly.

She rolled her eyes and muttered to herself, "What the hell? I'm showing off before I even start working. I'm going to make them nervous. What a show!"

At this moment, she was standing next to the broken stone tablet at the gate of the Taoist temple, hiding behind Tong Jiawu.

She carefully took out the [Primary Paint Brush] and gently waved it towards the Taoist temple.

In an instant, a faint light emerged from the [Primary Paint], like the dawn, illuminating the entire Taoist temple.

This ray of light seems a little weak under the sunlight, but it contains endless vitality and vigor.

As the light spread, the walls of the Taoist temple began to gradually glow with their original colors.

The originally mottled wall gradually became as smooth as a mirror, and the traces of time gradually disappeared under the baptism of light.

The gaps between bricks and stones were also filled, as if this Taoist temple had never experienced the erosion of wind and rain.

The tiles on the roof became neat and orderly again under the light, and each tile was shining with a faint light.

The originally dilapidated doors and windows have regained their former glory, revealing a simple and solemn atmosphere.

In the courtyard of the Taoist temple, the originally barren grass has grown new green shoots, and flowers are blooming, emitting bursts of fragrance.

The trees also became lush and green, as if showing people the power of life.

With the blessing of light, the entire Taoist temple seems to be reborn and is full of vitality.

A Cai looked at everything in front of her, and she wanted to know what these old men were thinking.

Surprise...

Surprisingly...

Does it sting?
