Chapter 1091
But the odd thing was that after Qin Wanhao had actually paid the money, the group of them entered the temple with ease.
This temple really didn't look any different from any other place.
Inside the temple, there was an already very old acacia tree.
This old acacia tree looked as if it had been struck by lightning.
Most of it was charred black.
But the old acacia tree had a few branches with a little shoot growing out of them.
If one did not look closely, one would not be able to see that the old tree had sprouted.
Not far to the left of the old acacia tree are a few simple stone sculptures.
They also look to have been there for many years.
There is green moss growing faintly on them.
On top of one of the stone sculptures, a lotus flower in full bloom is carved.
The stone is in bloom!
In the middle of the lotus stone opening and the old tree, there is a vacant area.
It is paved with a layer of greenish stones.
It was nothing if you didn't look closely.
Qin Chong was very attentive, and he noticed at a glance that the stone slab he stepped on underneath his feet had a slight wobble to it.
So, Qin Chong hurriedly bent down and lifted this stone slab up.
It turned out that there was a crater under this stone slab.
Qin Wanhao and Mallory hurriedly came over.
The two of them took a closer look into the pit.
Afterwards, Qin Wanhao slapped his thigh and said viciously.
"It looks like Edek's group has already taken what's under the slab."
"Let's hurry up and set off to follow them!"
Having said that, Qin Wanhao led his men out of the temple in a hurry immediately.
As Mallory and a few of his men were about to follow, there was a dark-skinned, bald-headed man who suddenly glanced towards the location in the temple where the Buddha statue was enshrined.
Mallory asked him, "What's wrong?"
The dark-skinned man said, "Just now I felt as if something had been staring at me."
"That feeling was like when I was a child on the African savannah and was being watched by a male lion, it was very scary!"
Mallory said in a deep voice.
"Huaxia is a very mysterious place."
"There are all sorts of people and all sorts of things here."
"All we have to do is try not to mess with these things."
"Let's go, hurry up and follow that group of people!"
After leaving the Double Fishing Village Li Hang and the others headed along a winding mountain path to Zhaoge Ridge.
"Brother-in-law, what is this Zhaoge Ridge?"
"How come it has such a strange name?"
All along the way Xu Haoran kept talking.
It was as if he couldn't stop that mouth of his.
To him, a man who had lived in the city since he was a child, everything in the mountains seemed different and new and interesting.
Although it was a bit tiring to go up the mountain, he was a man after all.
Compared to Xu Muqing, who had always been held by Li Hang's hand, Xu Haoran's experience was quite fulfilling.
When faced with Xu Haoran's question, Li Hang spoke out calmly.
"This Zhaoge Ridge, there is a legend."
"Once, the villages living in this generation were more prosperous."
"When there were more people, there was everything. There was a family where the husband and wife had a very harmonious relationship, but for some reason they just couldn't have children."
"They used all sorts of methods and the woman's belly just didn't get any bigger."
"One day the man went to the mountains to chop wood and didn't come back for a long time, so the woman got a bit worried about him and went into the mountains to look for the man."
"So did her man die?"
Before Li Hang could finish his sentence, Xu Haoran interjected.
Li Hang shook his head.
"The plot that is more dogged than a normal novel is that the woman went into the mountain and met her man."
Chapter 1092
"And the man, a woodcutter, he was cutting wood in the mountains. And the woman was watching him from the side."
"As he watched, the woman fell asleep. But the strange thing was that the woman just fell asleep and it didn't take long to get back home."
Xu Haoran suddenly clapped his hands.
"Ho-ho! That's the power of nature!"
"The two of them at home, no matter how hard they tried, had no effect, this was different when they got to the mountains and forests."
Xu Haoran's words, just as he finished speaking, Xu Muqing kicked Xu Haoran.
"What your brother-in-law means is that those two people didn't do anything inside the mountain."
"It's just that the woman went there and wanted a child. When they came back, they had it. It's the same as going to the temple to offer incense and ask the 'child-bearing goddess' for a child."
Xu Haoran shrugged, "That's all the same thing."
In fact, Xu Haoran wanted to ask when Xu Muqing and Li Hang were going to have a baby.
But for fear of being beaten up by his own sister, he gave up.
"Brother-in-law, those are all just legends, what are we going to do at Zhaoge Ridge now?"
Li Hang smiled and said, "To get the same thing there."
It started the moment he came out from the capital and joined this outdoor adventure.
Li Hang gave Xu Haoran and Xu Muqing a feeling that was a little different from their usual.
At the beginning, Xu Haoran and Xu Muqing could clearly feel that Li Hang's spirit was slightly tense.
It was as if his nervousness was instinctive and even he did not notice it.
Only Xu Haoran and Xu Muqing, who had been in contact with Li Hang for a long time, were able to detect it in a subtle way.
All along, Li Hang had given Xu Muqing and his siblings the impression that he was a man who could do anything.
It was as if there was nothing in this world that Li Hang could not solve.
Whether it was the big brothers of the underground forces or the high and mighty sons of the world that they used to encounter.
As long as Li Hang struck out, he would definitely beat the other party up.
Li Hang looked somewhat indifferent to all the surrounding matters.
All he cared about was Xu Muqing's family and the youngsters he had under his command.
It was hard to see Li Hang, who was particularly concerned about one thing.
Only this time, Xu Muqing and Xu Haoran both felt that Li Hang's mind was not the same as before.
Xu Muqing had met her mother-in-law in the Niu family village.
The two of them did not spend much time together.
Xu Muqing had also been wanting to go and meet her again for the past two days, to learn something from her and improve her relationship.
However, Li Hang did not advise Xu Muqing to do so.
And when Xu Muqing asked when Li Hang himself would be able to go and meet his mother-in-law.
Li Hang's answer was simple.
"When the matter of big brother is finished."
For this big brother Li Mu.
Li Hang had always been secretive.
Xu Mu Qing had been in contact with Li Hang for a long time and he knew very well what kind of person Li Hang was.
There were some things that Li Hang would definitely tell Xu Mu Qing if he wanted to.
And there were things that Li Hang would not say if he kept them inside.
Xu Muqing knew that no matter how she asked, she would not get an answer.
That was why she was trekking through the mountains with Li Hang this time.
It was clear that she was very tired now, but Xu Muqing kept on gritting her teeth and persevering.
Soon, they arrived at the halfway point of Zhaoge Ridge along the winding mountain path.
Looking up from this position, they were able to see a small pavilion that looked slightly dilapidated on the mountain beam.
Pointing at the small pavilion, Li Dongdong said to the crowd around him, "That pavilion is called Zhaozi Pavilion."
"In the past, when there were more people in our surrounding villages, every once in a while, some married women would go to the pavilion to sleep there."
"Legend has it that as long as they slept there, they were able to give birth to a big fat son when they returned."
