Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 630: Rescue

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Rescue

"Oh, such a high level of enlightenment still exists nowadays?" the person sneered, "But your little disciples don’t think so."

The old monk sighed, "Everything is fate. I have already told you that the Underground Palace disappeared three years ago. This old monk does not know where it’s gone."

"You’re lying. How can such a huge Underground Palace just grow legs and run away?" the person said incredulously, "Even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe that!"

The old monk sighed deeply, "This Underground Palace has existed for over two thousand years; perhaps it absorbed the Essence of the Sun and Moon and became sentient—it isn’t impossible to consider.

There are too many unexplainable things in this world; one cannot simply deem them nonexistent due to ignorance.

Moreover, if it were man-made, you have been digging here intensively for so long, yet how come you’ve found nothing?"

Listening to the old monk’s words, the person became furious, "Looks like you’ve made up your mind! It’s always the same few phrases, just wait, you will pay the price sooner or later!"

After that, the person rudely placed the face cover back on the old monk’s face and left angrily.

Once the room regained its calm, the old monk heaved another sigh.

"Alas!"

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli estimated that enough time had passed, and then they finally came out again.

They had heard all the commotion here just now, and waited until those two people left before they reappeared in front of the Reclining Buddha.

They had been busy searching for something and hadn’t noticed this Reclining Buddha.

It turned out that the Reclining Buddha was hiding someone.

Thinking that they had been searching here recklessly, a cold sweat broke out uncontrollably.

If the one hidden inside the Reclining Buddha was a malefactor, they might have already been ambushed.

Bai Junjun opened the face cover of the statue again, revealing the old monk’s face.

Whoever thought of this method was really malicious!

Trapped inside the Reclining Buddha was a gaunt and frail old man, his face sickly, but his eyes revealed wisdom.

He looked at Li Wenli and Bai Junjun who suddenly appeared, unafraid and not startled, and even offered a rare smile, "I recognize you."

Bai Junjun tilted her head to look at the old monk, but he was so emaciated, he hardly resembled his former self.

Luckily, while the original owner’s memory was unreliable, she had the Fox by her side, whose body’s owner had an excellent memory for minute details, and soon recognized who this old monk was.

"You are the Abbot."

The old monk felt sentimental, "I didn’t expect to meet you two little benefactors in such a way today."

Clearly, the Abbot recognized them too.

Bai Junjun was astonished, if this was the Abbot, then who was the person they met during the day?

The Abbot sighed, "This is a long story. Since you managed to enter through the secret passage, it must be fate, but no matter what brought you here, please give up and do not get involved in these muddy waters; you should leave quickly."

"What is really going on? Who are they?" Bai Junjun asked.

The old monk sighed, about to persuade them to leave.

But Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were not in the mood for long talks, and they quickly set to work pulling the old monk out of the Gold-threaded Jade Clothes.

The old monk had been in there so long that he smelled of urine and decay.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli didn’t mind. They simply dragged him toward the tunnel.

It was clear to them now, this monk definitely knew a lot. Instead of engaging in idle chatter here, it was better to take him back and let him explain slowly.

The old monk looked terrified, never imagining these young people would be so audacious as to think of rescuing him directly?

But he couldn’t leave!

What would happen to his disciples without him!
