Reborn: The Godfather Has Fallen For Me

Chapter 888: Deity Statue

“It’s a token. Yes, I remember that the elder said something about how he didn’t see the clan leader’s token.” Ah Cai thought for a while and spoke with certainty.

“What token is that?”

“It’s the representative of the clan leaders. Seeing this token is like seeing the clan leader. And it’s said that only the token can enter the clan’s forbidden area.”

“Oh? Your clan still has a forbidden area?”

“Yes, it’s a treasure that has been enshrined in our clan for a thousand years. What’s wrong, An An’s father?”

Yan Kuan thought for a moment and said to the honest Ah Cai:

“One of our brothers smuggled it. I don’t know if you’ve seen it before?”

“Got lost? That’s not good. I’ll go out and help you investigate. If someone in our clan sees it, that person will be sacrificed. We can’t let outsiders in or out here.”

Ah Cai looked extremely worried. He was really thinking for them. If outsiders were really found out by the clansmen, it would be bad.

“Brother Ah Cai, don’t worry. Our brotherhood has some martial arts. Don’t worry about this person’s safety.”

“An An’s father, you don’t know. Our clansmen have been practicing martial arts since they were young. No matter how good your skills are, it won’t work in our clan.”

“Oh? You still train your troops?”

“That’s right. It’s been like this since our ancestors passed down. We can not plant the land, but we must train our troops.”

Hearing Ah Cai’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan became more and more curious about this clan. They actually wanted to train their troops in private. However, 19 had indeed suddenly disappeared. If that clan leader’s token was really missing, it was very likely that 19 had taken it.

“Brother Ah Cai, if you go out and wander around now, it will be easy to alert the enemy. After all, it’s still very early. If someone sees you at one point, you won’t be able to explain it clearly. Anyway, it’s almost dawn now. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble Brother Ah Cai to help check it out during the military training.”

“This — alright, I’ll wait. You guys rest for a while. I’ll go and make some food for you.”

“No need, it’s still early. Ah Cai and his brother should also rest. I’ll bring the children into the basement to prevent them from being discovered.”

“Alright, An An’s father is still cautious. If they’re discovered, it won’t be good. I’ll wait for daybreak to help investigate.”

Ah Cai personally opened the secret compartment door and let the two carry the children into the basement.

At this point, they had put half of their mind at ease. It wasn’t that they completely trusted Ah Cai, but Yan Kuan wasn’t stupid. He had placed a detector at Ah Cai’s door. Once someone approached, it would alert him. Moreover, Ah Cai’s house was the furthest away from the village. Usually, there would be people coming here, so overall, it was very safe.

Shen Xiaoxiao was already a little tired. Yan Kuan’s heart ached for her, so he told her to quickly rest. Going to smash two rounds today was extremely exhausting, so it was better to rest well.

“We can only look for 19 after we have a good rest. Moreover, 19 is very meticulous in his work. I think he will definitely leave something behind for us. I will wait for Ah Cai to fall asleep before going to take a look. You don’t have to worry, my skills will be fine.”

“You want to go alone?”

“Yes, you take the children and sleep well. I will be back in half an hour at most. This village is not big, and I will not take any risks. Don’t worry, with the three of you around, you are my only weakness. I will not leave you alone.”

Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that she wouldn’t be able to leave the children behind to follow Yan Kuan to gather information. Now that Yan Kuan said so, she could only nod and agree.

“I’ll wait for you here. If you don’t come back, I won’t be able to sleep even if I wanted to.”

Yan Kuan looked at her serious expression and knew that it wasn’t good to persuade her anymore. This little thing had an extremely weird temper and wouldn’t compromise so easily.

Yan Kuan could not wait for Ah Cai to fall asleep, so he immediately got up and walked out.

Waiting was always the longest. However, it was absolutely impossible for Shen Xiaoxiao to abandon the children. She could only hope that Yan Kuan and 19 could return safely.

The village was built very flat and square, with an altar in the middle. To the east was the temple of the village. The sacrifices and worshipping of the villagers were held in this temple.

Yan Kuan kept moving toward the village. When he reached the altar in the middle, he did not find any trace of 19. Instead, when he reached the temple, he saw a small ripple-like mark on a bamboo near the door handle. This mark looked like it had been accidentally scratched, but only Yan Kuan knew that this was the only mark 19 had left.

19 had entered this temple?

Yan Kuan looked at the distance between the temple and the altar. It was very close. According to Buda’s words, if the Yang-Revolving Pearl was in the deepest part of the altar, then the only exit was most likely this temple.

After Yan Kuan entered the temple, he was shocked by the statue they worshiped. The statue they worshiped was actually a woman.

It was not an ordinary statue of Guanyin, but a woman whose entire body was surrounded by Suoyin flowers.

She had a pretty face and was dressed in ancient clothes. There was actually a Nine-Tailed Snake as a mount under her feet. This statue made Yan Kuan feel that it was somewhat familiar.

There was only one statue in the temple. In front of the god, there were many offerings of food and fruits. There was no incense, and they probably did not have anything like cigarettes. The entire temple could not be any more ordinary... the only way out for Yan Kuan was the deity statue...

Was there a hidden compartment under the deity statue of the little old house?

Yan Kuan walked around deity statue carefully and indeed found something different. However, because he had promised Xiaoxiao that he wouldn’t take any risks easily, Yan Kuan confirmed everything here and turned around to return. However, before he left, he still used the wristwatch on his wrist to take a picture of the deity statue’s head.

When Yan Kuan successfully returned to Ah Cai’s family house, it had only been half an hour.

The journey was really smooth. After all, this village could be said to be open at night. At night, it was extremely quiet and safe. This was the only advantage of this village.

After all, there had only been one race in the deep mountains for thousands of years.

“You’re back? Are you alright?”

Shen Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Kuan return. However, there was no trace of 19 behind him, which made Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart tighten again. She looked at Yan Kuan and asked, “Where’s 19? There’s no trace at all?”

“No, there are some clues. If I’m not wrong, 19 has already taken the token and entered the forbidden area of this village. I found the only clue he left outside the temple.”

“Oh? Why did he enter by himself so impulsively?”

“He probably found something, but I also found something strange. I’ll have to ask Ah Cai tomorrow.”

“What is it?”

“Take a look. This is a photo I took in their temple. The entire village worships this idol.”

“Idol?”

“Yes, take a look.”

Yan Kuan showed the image of the idol to Shen Xiaoxiao. However, she did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to stand up in surprise. She pointed at the idol and said, “Is this Liu Yufei?”
