Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 81: Foggy Tengu

   A remote forest trail somewhere on the mountainside of Mount Takao, the sky is getting dim, but a car is always parked among the tall and deep woods.

   "Really, I said earlier, don't take this mountain road!" Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro who was checking the tires, "As a result, not only was the car lost, but the car had a flat tire..."

   "Okay, stop being wordy, I don't want it either!"

  Moori Kogoro looked at the flat tire with a headache. Suddenly a few drops of cold rain fell, and a thick black cloud drifted across the sky.

   "Oops, it's raining!"

   "What should I do? I have to walk a few kilometers to the foot of the mountain!" Xiao Lan said anxiously.

   "I can't help it. I don't have a spare tire. There will be no people in this kind of wilderness, so I can barely spend the night in the car." Mouri Kogoro broke the can and fell.

   "Huh?! How can this be?"

   Gao Cheng floated on the roof of the car, half-opened his eyes to look at the yelling family below.

   He really underestimated Moori Kogoro or Conan. He stayed on the top of the mountain for a long time. He thought he would go back peacefully, but he was still trapped in the mountain.

   Can't go on like this. He is already very hungry. Although he has become a ghost, he is only a transparent person who can float. At most, he is relatively unusual in appearance and still has to eat.

   But there are not many things that can be stored in the system space. It was originally a small space created by using camouflage cards to store personal belongings. When he came, he only put some sugar and ate it all on the top of the mountain.

   "Hurry up and find that mountain mud temple..."

   Gao Cheng climbed up a big tree with a light body, looked around from the top of the tree, and soon found Shanni Temple on the edge of a cliff in a valley not far away.

   It is a temple built on a cliff on the mountainside. It is supported by a wooden frame structure as a whole. It is a fairly old Japanese-style building with a waterfall flowing down beside it.

   Without waiting for Kogoro Mori, Gao Cheng first walked along the valley to the temple.

   There is only one road to Shanni Temple, which is quite dangerous. I don’t know why someone built a temple in such a place.

   Gao Cheng floated all the way to the entrance of Shanni Temple and opened the entrance door. It looked like there was no one inside. He wanted to speak but thought that he was still a "ghost".

   "Let’s find out if you have something to eat first."

   After a while, Mouri Kogoro and his entourage seemed to have also discovered the temple, and followed towards the valley.

   "Ah, I didn't expect that there would be a temple in such a place. It seems that I have to borrow here tonight."

"Is anyone here?"

   Kogoro Mori walked into the entrance hall and shouted inside, "We..."

   "What's the matter with you?" Suddenly a gloomy voice rang from behind several people, Xiao Lan looked back in shock, only to see an old monk who looked like a ghost and did not know when he appeared at the door.

  The old monk was wearing a robes, a towering bald head, a long white beard hanging down like sharp teeth in the dim light, and a pair of fierce eyes above the pointed eagle nose staring at their uninvited guests.

   "I'm asking you what are you doing here?" The old monk walked under the light, his expression still terrifying, "Could it be a reporter from a newspaper or TV station? Even if you bring a child, you can't hide it from me!"

"what?"

   "Give me back!" the old monk roared, "This is not the place where your worldly people come!"

   Mouri Kogoro explained with a cold sweat and a dry smile: "We just want to spend the night...because the car has a flat tire and is trapped here..."

   "What? I want to live here?" The old monk's eyes lit up, and he put on a smiley expression, "What the hell, why didn't you say it earlier? I thought I was here for an interview."

   Kogoro Mori stared blankly at the old monk whose attitude had changed drastically: "The interview was about..."

   "It's nothing, it's just some personal matter," the old monk rubbed his hands and smiled. "This temple also runs a hotel, including a meal and the cost of visiting, 10,000 yuan per person."

   "One or ten thousand yuan?" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, his face turned green.

   On the other side, Gao Cheng went to the inner hall and the Buddha hall for a round, but did not find anything to eat. The huge temple had no offerings. He was planning to find the kitchen when he heard movement beside the entrance.

   The accommodation fee is 10,000 yuan. This old monk is really a lion's mouth, and he can afford his food for several weeks.

   "Just forget it," the old monk was like a shrewd little old man, "It takes 6 hours to walk to the foot of the mountain."

  Mouri Kogoro looked embarrassed: "But..."

   "I'm not scaring you, it's better to stay. On this rainy night, that thing might be watching you somewhere." The old monk suddenly said mysteriously with his back to the crowd.

   "Is there a bear here?" Gao Cheng floated to the old monk and asked.

   "Bear? It's not such a cute animal."

   The old monk didn’t notice Gao Cheng at all, and turned around and smiled, “It’s the ancient monster who likes rain and darkness and specializes in cannibalism... Foggy dog!”

   "Crack!"

   There was a thunder and thunder, and the electric light came in from outside the hallway. Xiaolan looked at the old monk with blue faces: "Gang, who was talking just now?"

   "Hello, won't you?" Conan looked around ~www.novelmt.com~ The voice was rather vague, like the sound of wind, but vaguely familiar... Damn, where did the voice come from? Is there really a foggy tengu?

   No, it is impossible, it should be just a coincidence, or what tricks the old monk did...

"Huh?" The old monk looked around in doubt, without thinking, seeing that Conan and his party had been scared by the foggy dog, he secretly said with joy, "Sorry, I said something that shouldn't be said...Come on, let me introduce this temple to you. Four monks practicing spiritual practice."

   It's rare to have a business in the temple, of course, you have to kill it once.

   "Hey, come all of you," the old monk clapped his hands and shouted inside, "A guest is here!"

Gao Cheng silently closed his mouth and didn't say anything again. Although he didn't have to pay the high-priced accommodation fee of 10,000 yuan, he still had a hard time tonight. He is not a real ghost, and he is too easy to be spotted. It is better to spend the money honestly. Ten thousand yuan.

   and I’m really hungry...

   The sky is getting darker and darker, and a delicate monk in the temple takes Maori Kogoro and his party around to visit, Gao Cheng also floats behind.

   This incident happened within a day or two. Although he still had an impression of "Fog Tiangu", he did not remember the specific case, and he needed to investigate in advance.

In addition to the old monk in Shanni Temple, there are four meditation monks. The longest-practised master Kuan Nian, the fat man who eats a lot but is good at cooking, and Mu Nian, who is in charge of carpentry in the temple, has only been here for a year. Although small but very intelligent, most of them are around 20 years old.

   The one who took everyone to visit the temple was Senior Brother Kuan Nian, and the others followed the instructions of Tianyong's presiding officer, the old monk, to cook.

   Gao Cheng wanted to help himself prepare a copy, but couldn't speak, so he could only remember the location of the kitchen.
