“Pang Guang, wrap it up quickly,” Chen Yu said with a playful smile. “We still have to catch the big show.”
“Alright, alright.”
Knowing there was more to come, Pang Guang’s eyes gleamed.
Coming out with Chen Yu this time was truly an eye-opener.
Who would have thought a monk would collude with a demon for wealth?
He was particularly surprised by the rat demon’s unique abilities.
“Brothers and sisters, the abbot has been killed! We can’t let them escape!”
“That’s right! The abbot treated everyone well. Avenge him!”
“How dare they act arrogantly after committing a murder? Everyone, attack!”
The surrounding monks surprised Pang Guang. Instead of attacking, they began listing his “crimes” in detail.
A chilling aura emanated from them.
While skilled at scamming money and enjoying life, these monks were hesitant to fight with their lives.
“Don’t waste time. If you don’t attack, I will!” Pang Guang spat on the ground.
He disappeared in a blur, reappearing before two monks.
Before they could react, he grabbed them by the collars and flung them far away.
In a matter of seconds, a pagoda formed ten meters away, comprised of dozens of monks stacked upon each other.
“Dr. Chen, what do we do with this one?” Pang Guang dragged the rat-whiskered man to Chen Yu, reminiscent of dragging a dead dog.
“Don’t worry about it now. Let’s go.”
Chen Yu scanned the area and called Pang Guang over.
“Dr. Chen, you go ahead and use the restroom. I’ll keep watch.”
“Just in case those rat demons try something.”
Soon, they arrived at the temple’s open-air public toilet, and Pang Guang naively assumed Chen Yu needed to use the restroom.
“You don’t want to see the rest of their nest?” Chen Yu asked with a smile.
“Wait, this is their nest?” Pang Guang was speechless.
This was a public toilet; why would they make this their nest?
He couldn’t fathom their unique taste.
“All, so even you can’t see anything wrong here,” Chen Yu said with a slight smile as he entered the building.
The interior was just like a regular public toilet. It had a central sink with a large mirror and men’s and women’s sections on either side, each with two doors.
Unfazed, Chen Yu walked straight into the women’s restroom.
Pang Guang, following behind, couldn’t help but blush at the thought of entering the women’s toilet.
Despite knowing something was amiss, he found himself strangely excited.
“Uh, I’m coming in,” Pang Guang announced sheepishly as he walked in.
A moment later, he peeked in with narrowed eyes, his mouth agape.
“Whoa,” he breathed in awe, his eyes scanning the room like searchlights.
“Oh!” He squeezed his eyes shut as Chen Yu kicked open a stall door.
“There’s no one here,” Chen Yu said with a hint of amusement. “Can you relax a bit?”
Embarrassed, Pang Guang opened his eyes only to encounter something unexpected.
Where the squatting pit should have been, a large hole, big enough for a person, gaped at him.
More startlingly, Chen Yu casually ripped out the ceramic squatting pan.
“Dr. Chen, this… what is this?” Pang Guang stammered.
“As you can see, it’s the tunnel leading to the Gray Immortals’ lair,” Chen Yu answered with a shrug.
“Ugh!”
Pang Guang almost vomited,
Did this group of demons use a manure pit as their nest?
This wasn’t just bad taste; it was… revolting!
Disgusted, he bent down and pleaded, “Dr. Chen, please tell me we’re not going down there?”
“Yes,” Chen Yu said simply.
“Ugh…” Pang Guang’s mental state shattered.
Just moments ago, he complained about the rat demons’ taste, and now he faced another blow from Chen Yu.
“Remember telling me you weren’t afraid of anything?” Chen Yu teased, seeing through Pang Guang’s fears.
“Zombies, headless spirits—nothing fazes you. I need your help to capture demons, not accompany me on some picnic. Why are you so scared?”
“This isn’t the same!” Pang Guang argued, forcefully holding back his disgust.
He’d rather face any other danger than crawl through a manure pit.
“There are other ways to catch these rats! Why torment yourself like this?”
“Don’t you know this place is filthy? Our spells will lose their effect in no time down there.”
“If the rat demons find us, we’re trapped.”
Mystic spells were rendered useless in such filth.
Pang Guang couldn’t believe Chen Yu wouldn’t understand this basic principle.
Jumping down meant enduring months of disgust and risking their lives. They were here to subdue demons, not commit suicide.
“Relax; I’ll ensure your safety,” Chen Yu reassured him.
Before he could react, Pang Guang felt himself lifted and tossed into the gaping hole.
“Ahhh, I’m ruined!” He cried out.
Chen Yu’s aim was far superior to Michael Jordan’s, shooting him into the hole accurately.
“Having fun?” Chen Yu’s voice, laced with amusement, echoed nearby.
“Is this the rats’ nest?” Pang Guang stammered, looking around in shock.
This wasn’t a manure pit, but an underground cave.
“Don’t forget,” Chen Yu said, loosening his grip, “one of the traits of rats is finding shelter within larger burrows. This is their hideout and their treasure trove.”
“Treasure trove?” Pang Guang echoed, his surprise evident.
“Indeed,” Chen Yu confirmed, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
He was one step closer to completing his mission.
Gesturing for Pang Guang to activate his camera and connect to Li Changjun’s phone, Chen Yu revealed his plan.
Understanding dawned on Pang Guang. The manure pit was a clever illusion.
The real entrance was the secret passage hidden beneath the squatting hole, leading to this underground cavern.
Chen Yu’s earlier theatrics were simply a joke.
“Dr. Chen, if you ever decide to prank me again,” Pang Guang sighed, “please give me a heads-up. I almost died of fright back there, convinced I was covered in filth.”
Grumbling, he turned on his camera and sent a message to Li Changjun, calling him from here.
“Damn, there really is treasure here!” he exclaimed after a while, his voice filled with awe.
The cavern floor, though not spacious, was littered with an astonishing array of valuables: meteoric iron, red copper, agate, jade, amber pendants, and countless gold, silver, and jewels.
It resembled a legendary treasure cave.
“Dr. Chen, what’s this?” Pang Guang inquired, pointing at a curious object.
“Tridacna,” Chen Yu replied, turning towards him..
