Chapter 55

Abbot Tianyong and Xiunian both mentioned the [matter], which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, so they asked Xiunian about the specific situation.

Xiunian didn't shut up like Abbot Tianyong, and casually explained: "I heard that it happened before I came to the temple to practice. I don't know the details, but it's related to the legendary monster fog Tiangou..."

"Xiunian, shut up!"

The originally silent kuannian suddenly gave a loud shout, interrupted Xiunian's preparation to continue to say, and asked sternly, "that's something you can't say to the guests. Have you forgotten?"

"Sorry, senior brother kuannian." facing the angry senior brother, little master Xiunian quickly bowed to him and apologized.

After coldly glancing at the wrong Xiunian, kuannian motioned to Bai Yan Zhenyu and others to leave the room and reminded them: "benefactors, the vegetarian meal in the evening is ready. Please go to the vegetarian hall with me."

Seeing kuannian's attitude, the people were very knowledgeable and did not continue to ask questions. They followed kuannian away from the confinement room, enjoyed a small waterfall flowing through the temple on the way, and then entered the Zhaitang of the temple for dinner.

The vegetarian food in Shanni temple is very rich. There are four plates of exquisite dishes and a bowl of clear soup made of mountain goods.

Although they are all simple vegetarian dishes, they taste delicious and not greasy. Compared with the domestic dishes we have eaten before, they have a different flavor and can barely afford the accommodation expenses that make ordinary people feel pain.

The dining atmosphere in the Zhaitang is no different from that in the outside restaurants. It is not as solemn as everyone imagined. Instead, it is talking and laughing about a variety of topics.

Conan, who had enough to eat and drink, never forgot about [that matter]. Using the identity of a child, he asked, "Abbot Grandpa, what kind of monster are you talking about the fog dog? Is there a mask Superman powerful?"

"Foggy dog is a legendary monster. It is said that every rainy night, it will sneak into the village like fog, break the wooden door with brute force, grab the people in the house, then rise up with those white wings, drop people on high trees, and finally slowly taste the ancient monster of human flesh..."

Abbot Tianyong's response was not as intense as kuannian before. After hearing Conan's question, he deliberately told the legend of fog dog in a gloomy and terrible tone.

After introducing the legend of foggy dog, abbot Tianyong stared at Xiao Lan and added, "and the people he grabbed and ate were young and lovely girls like you."

Little lanben was afraid of ghosts and other things. He was scared by Abbot Tianyong. He even looked out of the window at the dark mountains with an obvious color of fear.

"Ha ha."

Seeing Xiaolan's frightened reaction, abbot Tianyong laughed and comforted: "little girl, don't be afraid. I'm kidding you. Fog dog is just a fairy tale handed down."

Mu Nian, who has been relatively silent, is unconventional at the moment and retorts: "I think this is not just a legend. After all, such a strange thing happened two years ago, when..."

"Mu Nian!" Kuan Nian gave a soft drink, looked at Mu Nian nervously, and motioned Mu Nian not to go on, so as not to violate the rule set by Abbot Tianyong that it is strictly prohibited to discuss [that matter].

"Master Mu Nian, can you tell us what happened?"

Bai yanzhenyu, who knows the truth, will not miss the opportunity to get clues. Pointing to Maori xiaowulang, he said, "my uncle is a detective, Maori xiaowulang. If you are willing to tell us, you may be able to help investigate the truth of the strange thing."

"Maori Kogoro? The famous detective?"

"Eh? Uncle, you are Maori Kogoro..."

"I didn't expect to see such a famous detective today..."

After hearing the name of Maori Kogoro, kuannian and others immediately gathered around, showing their worship eyes and looking at Maori Kogoro, who they thought was "uncle of waste wood".

Facing the worship of monks, Mao xiaowulang was very happy in his heart, but he was very indifferent. He adjusted his collar without wrinkles and admitted: "yes, I am Mao xiaowulang."

"Great. With your help, I will be able to figure it out."

Kuan Nian, who had been preventing others from talking about it before, actively explained: "detective Maori, please listen to me. Two years ago, there was a young monk..."

"Shut up, don't you forget the agreement that you can't mention it again?"

Abbot Tianyong interrupted kuannian with a bad look and said angrily, "well, this is the end of dinner. Go back to your room and have a rest. And Mr. detective, that's something inside our temple. Don't bother you. Please leave here early tomorrow morning."

Looking at the tense appearance of Abbot Tianyong, Conan and Maori Kogoro both realized that there must be something hidden. However, since they were sleeping on other people's territory, it was not easy to disobey each other's instructions, so they had to return to their room to have a rest.

After returning to the clean wing room, Xiaolan took the initiative to help everyone lay the floor. However, from the way she put her floor in the middle, she was obviously afraid of the nonexistent monster fog dog.

In the middle of the night, Xiaolan woke up from her sleep and wanted to go to the bathroom. However, she was afraid of the story told by abbot Yongtian during the day, so she shook up Bai yanzhenyu sleeping in the next floor shop.

In the place where the case may occur, Baiyan Zhenyu has been vigilant to keep in a shallow sleep state. After feeling Xiaolan's shaking, he immediately opened his eyes.

Glancing quickly across the room, Bai Yan Zhenyu asked, "what's the matter, Xiaolan?"

Xiaolan's face was slightly red, and she replied shyly, "brother Zhenyu, that... Can you accompany me to the bathroom?"

"Xiao Lan, you don't really believe in fairy tales... Oh, forget it, I'll go with you."

Baiyan Zhenyu was speechless, but he accompanied Xiaolan to the bathroom far from the room, and then waited for her to come out in the corridor outside.

Before long, Baiyan Zhenyu heard a slight footsteps, turned to the direction of the bathroom and found a monster with red skin and a long nose standing behind him.

"Monster?"

Baiyan Zhenyu was surprised and was ready to attack with all his strength. He suddenly realized that it was Xiaolan with a fog dog mask, so he quickly stopped.

When Xiao Lan took off the mask on her face, Shii Masawa bent her finger and make complaints about her forehead. She said, "Xiaolan, you really are. The ghosts in the evening are frightening. Do you know that people are terrifying?"

"Hey, hey, I saw this mask in the bathroom and wanted to tease you."

Xiaolan threw out her tongue, then put the fog dog mask back to the bathroom and returned to the room to continue to rest.

The next morning, when the people had finished washing and were ready to go to the canteen for dinner, a panic scream suddenly came from the direction of the confinement room.
