Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality Chapter 1354 - 680: There’s Something Wrong with This Pot! (
Fortunately, this tourist spot is not far from his ho, and he arrived near the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple without much effort. The clear mountains and waters here were very similar to the scene at the Celestial Spirit Temple, making him feel a bit dazed.
However, as he looked around, he still couldn’t find the entrance to the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple. He could only wander around the surrounding area, trying to find the hidden path leading to the temple.
"Last ti, it was because I was too tired and stumbled upon the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple by chance." He recalled his previous experience and decided to try again.
Lin Beichen wandered nearby for a long ti, trying again and again, and finally, as the heavens reward the diligent, he found the entrance to the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple. The feeling of relief made him take a deep breath.
Upon entering the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple, his gaze was imdiately drawn to a copper cauldron in the center of a small square.
That copper cauldron was almost identical to the one he saw in his dream. However, the one before him now had been bathed in the years, appearing more ancient and historical. The one in his dream was new, lacking the sense of vicissitudes.
Lin Beichen was almost certain that these two copper cauldrons were the sa. Excitedly, he jumped up and couldn’t wait to head to the ditation room to seek out the abbot and inquire about the origins of this copper cauldron.
"Is the abbot here?" he shouted loudly at the entrance of the ditation room.
Soon, an elder dressed in a robe of yellow and red erged from the back room of the ditation room. His expression was calm, and his eyes revealed a profound wisdom.
"Benefactor, I am the abbot of this Celestial Cloud Temple. How may I assist you?" The Elder spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful.
Seeing this, Lin Beichen imdiately stepped forward and said excitedly, "Master Abbot, I have co to the Celestial Cloud Temple to inquire about sothing."
The Elder nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"I want to ask about the origins of the copper cauldron in the small square of the Celestial Cloud Temple?" Lin Beichen pointed to the copper cauldron in the distance.
As soon as he finished speaking, he watched the abbot’s face closely, trying to catch any hints from his expression.
However, to his disappointnt, the abbot remained silent for a long ti, his face becoming slightly unnatural.
"Benefactor, I do not know the origins of that copper cauldron either," the abbot finally spoke, but his voice was a bit stiff.
Lin Beichen noticed the abbot’s unnatural deanor but did not expose it. He knew that there must be a secret behind this copper cauldron, sothing the abbot was not willing to easily reveal.
Seeing the abbot’s tense face, Lin Beichen knew that continuing to inquire wouldn’t yield any results. So, he decided to leave temporarily, but inwardly he made up his mind to find out the origins of this copper cauldron.
"Thank you for your ti, Abbot." He said politely, then turned and left.
However, Lin Beichen did not really leave. He knew he wouldn’t get any results from asking, so he decided to feign departure and instead hid behind the exit of the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple, secretly observing the abbot’s actions.
Sure enough, not long after he left, the calm expression on the abbot’s face disappeared, replaced by a sense of panic and unease. He quickly returned to the ditation room, and seeing this, Lin Beichen cautiously followed.
Inside the ditation room, the abbot looked very alard; he didn’t notice anyone following him. He walked to the table and gently turned the table leg. As the table leg rotated, the vase at the back slowly moved aside, revealing a secret door.
Upon seeing this, Lin Beichen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected there to be such a secret passage within the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple. He suppressed his inner excitent and continued observing the abbot’s movents.
The abbot walked out of the secret door, which promptly closed. Lin Beichen didn’t hurriedly follow in; he knew it wasn’t the right ti. If he rushed in now, it would alert the enemy.
He decided to stay within the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple and carefully search every corner to see if he could find any clues. The ditation rooms in the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple weren’t many, and the place was sparsely populated, so searching wasn’t difficult.
Lin Beichen, unwilling to give up, observed each room, not missing a single detail. He ticulously examined every arrangent, every corner, trying to find sothing unusual.
Finally, in the left wing room of the Cloud Heaven Cloud Temple, he found sothing strange. There was a pot there, and inside it simred a pot of unusual broth.
Lin Beichen circumnavigated the pot of broth, trying not to think about what kind of at it contained, but instead focused on observing the layout of the room.
The room’s furnishings were similar to those in the adjacent rooms, with nothing particularly out of the ordinary. Except for the pot placed in the center, everything else seed normal.
However, the pot emitted a disconcerting sizzling sound, making Lin Beichen feel very uneasy.
He couldn’t help but look into the pot, only to see white foam, blood-red at, and bones rising and falling in the broth. The milky white broth bubbled and boiled. The sight made Lin Beichen feel a wave of nausea, and he imdiately looked away.
Yet, when he looked at the pot again, he couldn’t help but frown. He distinctly rembered that he hadn’t slled any aroma just now; instead, there was an inexplicable stench.
But now, when he covered his mouth and nose, the foul sll disappeared, replaced by a tempting at aroma.
Lin Beichen widened his eyes, unable to believe his nose. He tried multiple tis, and the result was always the sa.
This pot definitely has sothing wrong!
A suspicion imdiately ford in his mind.
Just as he was about to take further action, he suddenly felt the room grow cold. He clearly sensed his hair standing on end, as if sothing was approaching him.
Lin Beichen looked around warily; the surroundings were silent with only him alone. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
However, the cold feeling intensified, as if sothing was pressing against him, that feeling of being pursued alarmingly clear.
He dared not act rashly and quickly took out a Spirit Communication Talisman from his chest, activating the Yin Yang Eye. When he first activated the Yin Yang Eye, he felt a bit uncomfortable; after that discomfort faded, he slowly opened his eyes.
With the support of the Spirit Communication Talisman, Lin Beichen’s perception of his surroundings beca more acute. As soon as he looked down, he saw a child standing in front of him, eting his gaze.
He broke out in a cold sweat, instinctively wanting to push the child away. However, when he reached out, he found nothing but air. The child obediently "slid" off him and stood quietly in place.
Not only that, but in the corner, more and more ghosts began to erge. They were all quite young, appearing to be only a few years old.
Lin Beichen steadied his mind and looked again; the ghosts were already standing in a row, staring back at him.
"Are you all..." Lin Beichen couldn’t even finish his sentence before he froze. To his surprise, among the ghosts was a familiar figure, one he had seen in photos before, one of the missing children!
This discovery sent a shiver through Lin Beichen. He realized the ghosts here were very likely to be those missing children.
Ghosts can’t stray far from their bodies, aning the children’s bodies were likely nearby!
A chilling thought arose in his mind, even though he didn’t want to acknowledge it. Still, trembling, he pointed toward the pot of boiling broth. A little boy nodded, confirming his suspicion.
Lin Beichen let out a weak gasp, his breathing beca rapid and heavy. He clutched his stomach with one hand and painfully crouched down. The other hand held tightly onto a nearby stool as if it were his only support at the mont. Finally, he couldn’t hold it back any longer, and the contents of his stomach surged out, splattering everywhere.
His gaze fell on the pot, and an indescribable loathing surged in his heart.
