Chapter 648: Chapter 648 Suddenly Disappearing

At this moment, Master Vina, in charge of the Wooden Fish, Dharma Drum, and Large Bell, chanted in a highly professional manner, flowing from the Praises of Incense Flowers to inviting the Buddha without confusion amidst the busyness.

Then, another master took the responsibility of pinching incense to offer, followed by letting the Chief Incense Master present the incense.

The Chief Incense Master, that is, the person who donated the most money for the entire ceremony, was none other than Bai Junjun and Li Wenli.

Inside the hall, men and women stood separately, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli one at Dongdan and the other at Xidan. The two of them were the only incense visitors in this vast hall, giving off quite the feeling of having it all to themselves.

The novice Buddhist monk led them to offer the incense; after being separated for most of the day, they finally gathered in the center of the main hall. The two knelt down together, waiting for the monk to light the incense and bring it back to them.

However, just as the novice monk was sending the burning incense their way, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun suddenly disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

"!!!"

The monks, who were still acting, abruptly stopped.

Belatedly, they glanced around and realized Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had truly vanished!

It turned out that the place they had been searching for several days was actually inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas!

Master Vina, responsible for the drum, suddenly struck a series of urgent beats, the Wooden Fish keeping pace with him, ten rapid drumbeats followed by the sound of the Large Bell echoing from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Before long, the assembly of monks who were meditating on this mountain hurried over after hearing the sounds.

Suddenly, more than five hundred monks gathered in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddha.

An Imperial Guard conducting a patrol in the Ancestral Master Hall noticed the anomaly here and couldn’t help but stop a monk: "What’s going on?"

"They’re conducting a ritual for an incense visitor below, now we need to gather the collective merits of the monks to bestow blessings on his ancestors." The young monk, likely a habitual offender, responded smoothly and without batting an eyelid when questioned on the spot.

The guard was somewhat puzzled: "Whose family do they belong to?"

After all, since the Dowager Consorts came here, the monastery had not conducted rituals for ordinary believers apart from those for the Royal Family.

"I don’t know, they came here last time with the Princess Consort."

The monk gave an answer that was half true, half false, and then with an anxious face, he said: "Guard brother, there’s no time left, if I don’t get there soon, I’ll be punished to kneel before the incense."

The guard, seeing his genuine urgency and not suspecting a ruse, let him pass.

So the monk ran away as fast as a rabbit.

Going back to inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddha, when Bai Junjun and Li Wenli suddenly disappeared, the people began a frantic search throughout the hall.

As everyone gathered outside the hall, they closed the doors of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddha, attempting to trap the perpetrator inside.

Of course, what they were trying to catch was not Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, but the mysterious Underground Palace that appeared and disappeared unpredictably.

Everyone believed that this was all Monk Shan Ci’s doing, never considering that he had hidden his skills for two years.

When the person in charge of interrogation went back to the Seclusion Room, where was Monk Shan Ci’s figure to be found?

He seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The people moved everything out, even dismantling the wooden planks and blue bricks, but still did not find a trace.

Eventually, unable to sit still any longer, they expanded the search area, yet still there were no clues to be found.

Finally, just as they were about to give up hope, who would have thought that the two people who had been offering incense would suddenly disappear?

So everyone began searching in earnest, locking the doors, and shutting themselves inside.

In a space apart, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli gauged that enough time had probably passed, and then they finally let go of each other’s hands.

One after the other, they reappeared in the main hall.

The crowd saw them reappear in the same spot and were again stunned; just a moment earlier, they had seen nothing out of the ordinary there and had instinctively scattered to the surroundings, only for those two to reappear in the same place.

Just as Li Wenli and Bai Junjun showed up, the people, like madmen, lunged toward them.

The turn of events happened at that very instant!
