The size of the back hall is slightly smaller than the main hall, but it’s still impressive.
After seeing the main hall, they looked at the smaller hall, and naturally, neither of them was particularly impressed.
After a brief inspection, the two went to the last place in the temple.
Which was a small courtyard reserved for Taoist Liu to live in.
The courtyard was designed in the style of a traditional four-sided courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, directly ahead was the largest room, intended as Taoist Liu’s bedroom.
To the left and right were four slightly smaller side rooms.
Besides these buildings, there was an open area of more than a hundred square ters in the courtyard, which seed to be intended for constructing a pavilion in the center.
Overall, the layout and style were very ancient and elegant.
"Great! The design is excellent. This temple’s design is magnificent; I will settle here in the future, take on two disciples, and enjoy my twilight years!" Taoist Liu was very satisfied with his living environnt.
Not just him.
Chen Yang looked around and was quite pleased.
The place was indeed nice, and Chen Yang considered asking Li Han to renovate his ho.
Squeak.
After viewing the courtyard, Taoist Liu couldn’t wait to push open the wooden door of the main room and enter his bedroom.
This room was the largest in the courtyard, covering more than forty square ters.
The room was currently empty, looking very spacious.
"Nice design, but the place is a bit too big," Taoist Liu comnted after a glance around.
"It’s fine; it looks big now, but after completion, once you place so regular furniture, it won’t feel so large," Chen Yang replied.
"Yes, yes, you’re right."
Taoist Liu chuckled and then circled around the room himself.
"Finished looking? Ready to leave?"
Seeing Taoist Liu return to the doorway, Chen Yang spoke.
"Yes, let’s go." Taoist Liu continued to grin broadly, evidently very satisfied with the place, nodded, and prepared to leave with Chen Yang.
But before he stepped out, his expression suddenly changed.
He then stood on the spot with a solemn expression, started sniffing the air as if detecting sothing.
Chen Yang had just walked out the door and noticed that Taoist Liu hadn’t moved, so he turned around to take a glance, asking, "What are you doing?"
His nose twitched twice; he looked at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, my friend, when the wind blew just now, did you sll anything unusual?"
"Unusual sll?"
"Yes, quite a peculiar sll!"
Taoist Liu confird.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang seriously sniffed the air but didn’t detect anything.
"The temple is still under construction, with all sorts of materials around; you might be mistaken," Chen Yang said.
"No, I’m definitely not mistaken; my nose is very sensitive. That sll was completely unrelated to construction materials! It was more like... gunpowder!" Taoist Liu exclaid.
"Gunpowder?"
Chen Yang paused, quite surprised, "How could there be the sll of gunpowder at a construction site? Are you sure?"
"I’m sure, and very sure!" Taoist Liu reaffird.
Seeing his confidence, Chen Yang turned around and walked back.
He joined Taoist Liu in searching the room.
When they reached the middle of the room, Chen Yang noticed sothing unusual!
The floor beneath his feet! It seed to have a different texture from the surrounding area.
He took a step backward, crouched down, and touched the floor.
"What do you think, Chen Yang, my friend, did you discover anything?" Taoist Liu, still sniffing around the room, saw Chen Yang’s movents and imdiately walked over.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "This floor feels a bit different; there seems to be sothing underneath."
"Sothing? Then let’s find a tool to open it up and check." Upon hearing this, Taoist Liu was taken aback and imdiately went to find a tool.
Bam!
As soon as he left, Chen Yang acted.
He slamd his palm onto the floor, and the boards couldn’t withstand Chen Yang’s force, shattering instantly.
Taoist Liu heard the noise and instinctively turned to look.
Seeing the shattered floor, he was speechless, abandoning his search for tools and quickly returning.
Back inside, he imdiately started clearing the scattered debris.
Once all the pieces were cleared away, the hidden item was revealed.
There was indeed sothing beneath!
"What is this?"
Taoist Liu stared at the object buried under the floor, wrapped tightly and surrounded by several wires, puzzled.
Unable to figure out what it was.
Chen Yang saw the object and his expression instantly turned cold.
Because he recognized it.
"It’s a bomb," Chen Yang stated calmly.
"Bomb... ah? A bomb?" Taoist Liu had originally reached to retrieve the buried bomb, but realizing it was a bomb, he quickly drew his hand back in fright.
His face was filled with terror: "A bomb? Who would plant a bomb under this floor?"
Finding a bomb hidden under the floor surprised Chen Yang as well, but he remained calm.
After silently considering the situation, the answer ca easily.
"This bomb is planted in your bedroom; whoever wants to remove you, apart from the Gu Family, who else could it be?" Chen Yang stated nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Liu’s expression didn’t change much; he appeared dazed, showing no reaction.
After more than ten seconds, he finally spoke coldly: "The Gu Family is truly malicious, attempting multiple tis against after failed cooperation, even wanting to eliminate ."
"They’ve never been good; collaborating with them is like seeking a tiger’s skin," Chen Yang said.
Taoist Liu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, chuckled awkwardly, "Chen Yang, my friend, you’re right, but now I’ve chosen the right path, let’s not ntion my past cooperation with them anymore."
"..."
Chen Yang said nothing.
Taoist Liu remained silent for a mont, then suddenly stood up and pulled the explosive from the soil.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yang asked, seeing this.
"I’m going to dispose of it; this thing is so dangerous, I can’t just leave it here," Taoist Liu replied.
"No need to dispose of it, give it to ; it can be very useful," Chen Yang also stood up, asking Taoist Liu for the explosive package.
Taoist Liu was baffled: "What do you want it for?"
"Aren’t you planning to just let this go and not seek revenge?"
"Revenge? What do you have in mind?" Taoist Liu asked.
Chen Yang coldly smiled and said: "This is a tid bomb, dismantling it would be complicated. Instead, why not place this explosive in the Gu Family’s building? That would be turning the tables on them."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Liu first froze, then imdiately grinned excitedly.
"Yes, why didn’t I think of that? Chen Yang, my friend, you’re full of ideas. That scoundrel wanted to blow up; I should let them taste this explosive as well." Taoist Liu clapped his thigh in excitent and was ready to act imdiately.
Chen Yang tidied up the room a bit to not leave traces.
Then he followed Taoist Liu, carrying the explosive package, heading towards the village.
On the way back, Chen Yang studied the explosive package thoroughly.
It was a very advanced explosive package.
Operated by a switch.
Unlike ordinary tid bombs or those requiring a fuse to ignite.
This smart device only requires soone to press the detonation button from afar when the ti cos.
The bomb would explode instantly, leaving hardly anyone able to react in such a short amount of ti.
