Chapter 625: A Heavy Mist

if that's what you think, then you underestimate me too much!"After he said that, his face suddenly changed. He became filled with hostility and glared menacingly at Feng Ming. "Feng Valley Master, if...Feng Ming smirked, "Secrets."

An Xuetang :…

Well, if he doesn't want to say it, then he doesn't have to. She'll know when she needs to know anyway.

Right now, we need to figure out what these people from the Western Regions want.

An Xuetang glanced at the dozen or so Westerners, then looked again at the cave decorated with a very exotic style. She started to walk towards the murals and took a closer look.

Feng Ming followed her steps, and they both looked at the murals together. The people in the murals were obviously wearing Western Regions clothing, and their faces looked very sad.

What's most curious is that this place is in the Tianba Kingdom. How could there be such a place within the Jinchuan Temple of the Tianba Kingdom

And such a place couldn't have been built in a short time. Looking at the traces, it must have existed for at least several decades.

After looking for a while, An Xuetang only felt that her legs were tired. At this time, she found a place to sit down, and Fengming also sat beside her.

An Xuetang glared coldly at the group of Westerners. "Speak up, why did you come looking for me"

At this time, a Xirong person who spoke the Central Plains dialect walked up to An Xuetang and knelt down before her.

He knelt down, and everyone else followed suit. An Xuetang was helpless. Although this wasn't her first time traveling through time, she still wasn't used to such a bowing ceremony.

After all, in the 21st century, her understanding of the world was that such a grand kneeling ceremony would only appear at funerals.

They bowed, and one of them raised his head, looking at An Xuetang and pleading, "On behalf of the people of the Western Regions, we beg the Spirit Maiden to return to the Western Regions swiftly."

This person said something, and the other kneeling people immediately followed suit, but they were speaking in a dialect of the Western Regions that An Xue Tang and Feng Ming couldn't understand.

Spirit Girl

An Xuetang instantly raised her eyebrows. Could it be what she thought Was she the so-called saint of the Western Regions But she didn't look like someone from the Western Regions at all!

Feng Ming was jolted when he heard them calling her a spirit maiden. He didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly stood up and rushed to the nearby table, picking up the portrait from earlier.

Feng Ming stared at the person in the portrait, a sudden smile playing on his lips, which made An Xue Tang blink in surprise, her eyes filled with confusion.

She just wanted to ask something, but then she heard Feng Ming murmur to herself, "So you're here, so you're here."

Having said that, Feng Ming turned to An Xuetang, "A Tang, all those years, you made your elder brother look for you so hard."

"...“

An Xuetang scratched her head, looking at Feng Ming's appearance, she seemed to have guessed something. She knew Feng Ming's origins were just as strange and unusual as hers.

So she didn't ask anything in front of the people from Xīyù right now. She stood up and took the initiative to hug Fèngmíng, then suddenly asked a question she had wanted to ask for a long time:

"Brother, why is your obsession so deep Why must you find me Why must you protect me no matter the cost"

Feng Ming stroked her head, "There isn't that much of a why, you just are you, because it's you."

All she could do for him, in this lifetime, he could also do for her.

Knowing he wouldn't speak, An Xuetang sighed softly and gently pushed him away. "I guess now, I probably just look a bit like the person in the portrait, so they mistook me for their Western Regions Spirit Maiden. Brother, what should we do now"

Feng Ming patted her head, gave her a reassuring look, then pulled her back down. He stared at the man from Xiyu, "Was it that mysterious person who gave you his portrait"

"Yes."

So, you trust him just because he showed you a portrait of A-Tang You believe everything he says

A Westerner frowned, "It's not about trust, he...he said that if we don't follow his instructions, he won't help us find the Spirit Woman."

So what time did you arrive in Tianba Kingdom

A month ago.

"After arriving in Tianba Kingdom, what have you all been up to Where are you staying"

“Before today, I had done nothing. After entering the capital city, I have stayed here.”

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Then how did you get into the capital"

"When the night was deep and all were asleep, a mysterious person waited for me and opened the city gate."

"..."

A mysterious person can open the city gate It seems to be a big figure in court.

An Xuetang and Feng Ming exchanged a glance, and Feng Ming continued, "Who arranged for you to live here Who brought you food after you moved in"

When it came to this topic, the faces of the people from the Western Regions showed obvious signs of hesitation and uncertainty.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "I want the truth."

As expected, upon hearing An Xuetang's words, he had to explain. It turned out that the first abbot of Jinchuan Temple was from the Western Regions.

Jinchuan Temple has been around for over a hundred years. The reason this cave was decorated in this way is simply because the abbot at the time missed his hometown and secretly had people transform the cave into this image so he could reminisce about home.

And what's more, unknown to all, the current abbot is actually the grandson of that former abbot. This cave has always been a forbidden zone for Jinchuan Temple, accessible only to each successive abbot.

They were taken to Jinchuan Temple by someone and after meeting the abbot, they were arranged here. Every day, someone would bring food to the foot of the mountain, and they would go down to collect it for themselves to eat.

An Xuetang listened, feeling that something was off. After thinking for a moment, she frowned and said:

"No, the abbot of Jinchuan Temple has met this imperial concubine. Since he knows you, he also knows what you're here for. He could have simply found someone to tell this imperial concubine. Why are you still under the control of a mysterious person You're lying! You were the one who tried to harm this imperial concubine!"

“No, no!” The Western Region man shook his head repeatedly. “The abbot doesn't know we're looking for you at all. As a member of the royal family, the abbot knows we are searching for the Spirit Maiden because for over a hundred years, our people from the Western Regions have been looking for her. But he doesn't know that the one we are looking for is you. Though he is a descendant of the Western Regions, he has never seen a portrait of the Spirit Maiden.”

"!"

This statement from the man from the Western Regions reveals far too much. The current Abbot is actually a descendant of the Western Regions royal family

And, if he were the grandson of the first abbot, wouldn't that mean...that all the previous abbots were also from the Western Regions

...and...the abbot has a son This...isn't usual, is it

Feng Ming frowned, "Did the abbot know about your actions today"

"Unknowingly, the abbot told us when we entered Jinshu Temple that he would only provide us with lodging and food. He wouldn't interfere with other matters."

Feng Ming pondered for a moment and then asked, “How did you confirm that she was the Spirit Maiden you were looking for, simply because she resembled her”

"Of course not."ore. Let's just keep going."Ankang wasn't quite sure about him, so he looked up at Mo Yunjing."Then you must listen to me, or else when the Venerable Master of Charity knows that I brought you here, m...
