I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Yan mingchen followed up, &Quot; I didn't find out much about this. I only heard a few old women who couldn't sleep at night talk about it. Worshipping the ghosts and deities is just a custom passed down by our ancestors. &Quot;

"I'm not too sure about the rest ..."

PEI Ling nodded slightly and looked at Xi again.

Xi said,"I heard that it's the custom of worshiping ghosts and gods. It's been a long time."

&Quot; the mortals here might not care about it on normal days, but if they encounter any problems, they will all go and offer incense to pray for their wishes. &Quot;

&Quot; also, over the years, there have been people going missing every once in a while. &Quot;

&Quot; there are also some other things that we don't know if they are true or false. There is no evidence. For example, someone brought his son to light incense. His son was young and mischievous. When he was kowtowing, he secretly opened his eyes and made a face at the statue. In the end, he found that the statue of the ghost God also opened its eyes and looked at him with a sinister smile. The child was frightened and convulsed on the spot. He fell ill and died soon after ... &Quot;

&Quot; the ghost God's temple is usually empty. However, in the middle of the night, there would be shrill screams that would make one's hair stand on end. Even during the day, no one would dare to pass by ... &Quot;

&Quot; there are also rumors that people have seen god statues bleeding and temples filled with corpses and blood ... &Quot;

PEI Ling listened carefully. The rumors that the three of them were talking about were very likely true!

Now that he wanted to fight with these ghosts and deities, the most important thing was to figure out their true strength.

He couldn't let Senior Sister Li and Yan mingxiao take the risk for this matter, so he would leave it to Xi and Ti.

"Which ghost is the closest to this place?" he asked immediately.

※※※

The official road.

As the yellow soil flew, the green shade of the Dao-protecting tree was like a cloud, blocking a considerable amount of dust.

Fourteen strong Knights with bows and blades were hesitating on a felt carriage.

The head of the escorts was still sitting on the shaft of the carriage, holding the horsewhip and looking forward.

His expression was no longer as calm and confident as before. His brows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth drooped, revealing a bitter expression.

The entire escort party was engrossed in their journey. Everyone's face was still filled with fear and uneasiness, but they did not make a single sound. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as if a thousand pounds were hanging over their heads. In the silence, only the "da da" sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the compact loess resounded among the troops, accompanied by the sound of the felt carriage's wheels.

The tall and straight path-protecting trees continued to retreat. Although this official road maintained by the government was not crowded because it was still early and not a prosperous place, the scattered pedestrians gradually calmed everyone's hearts.

Originally, they were in a hurry for this escort trip and could save a lot of time by taking a small road across the wilderness. Thus, they had not taken the official road before.

But last night's experience ...

All the escorts, including the head of escorts, had no time to think about saving time.

It didn't matter if the goods arrived a few days later, his life was more important!

"Da da da ..."

In the sound of horse hooves, smoke and dust dispersed, and birds flew away in shock.

A moment later, a small temple hidden in the trees suddenly appeared on the side of the official road ahead.

This was the place where the red-winged immortal was worshipped.

It was rumored that in the early years, someone had received a favor from the red-winged immortal and built a temple here to worship him.

People who often came and went on this road all knew the origin of this temple.

However, most of the pedestrians would come and go in a hurry and would not stop for this.

Upon seeing the temple, the head of the escort suddenly raised his hand, and the entire escort team immediately stopped.

The head of escorts looked at the temple and frowned even more. He had traveled North and South for so many years and didn't believe in these things before, but last night ...

"It's still early, let's go in and burn some incense first," he said.

When the bodyguards heard this, they were stunned at first. After they reacted, they quickly replied, " "Yes!"

If they weren't still escorting the goods, they would have long wanted to find a place to burn incense and pay their respects. Now that the head of escorts had personally spoken, they all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Thus, the escort team immediately stopped in front of the temple.

Even though there weren't many people on the road, the head of escorts still ordered, &Quot; leave a few people outside to look after the things. The rest of you, follow me in first. &Quot;

Two older bodyguards stayed behind to guard the horses and goods while the rest followed the head of escorts into the temple.

The temple did not occupy a large area, with its own door and courtyard. After entering the gate, they went around a simple wall carved with the origin of the temple and reached a small courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a four-legged bronze incense burner with curved patterns. It was about chest-high, and there were dense incense sticks inserted in it. Nearly half of it was burned, and the smell of incense lingered in the courtyard.

Behind it was a house with heavy eaves and a mountain top.

There were three rooms in a row, and in the middle was the main hall where the red-winged immortal was enshrined. At this moment, the door was wide open and the lights were dimly lit.

There was a wing room on each side. Under normal circumstances, it was the residence of the temple attendant who was guarding this place. However, it was silent at the moment.

Standing in the courtyard and looking around, the head of escorts didn't see anyone coming out. He immediately circulated his inner strength and said in a clear voice, " &Quot; I'm lu Xun. I'm from the cloud storage Manor. I'm the head of the Fortune spring escort agency. &Quot;

"I'm passing by a treasure land today, so I'm here to offer some incense."

"May I ask where the temple attendant is?"

Lu Xun's inner strength was strong and abundant, his voice instantly spread throughout the entire temple.

In the main hall, the statue's originally closed eyes opened slightly, then returned to normal.

After waiting for a while and getting no response, the head of escorts furrowed his brows and took a few steps forward to the main hall's entrance. There was no one inside, but on the long table to his left was a ready-made incense stick.

Thus, he walked in directly, wiped his hands on his clothes, and picked up an incense stick.

Seeing this, the bodyguards behind him followed suit.

Right now, they just wanted to quickly burn some incense and get rid of the evil they had encountered last night under the protection of these great Immortals who were worshipped in temples.

The head of escorts took out a match from his chest. After lighting the incense, he walked forward with great respect and inserted it into the incense burner under the statue.

With a plop, the Empress knelt on the ground.

Many bodyguards followed closely behind. Soon, the small hall was filled with kneeling martial artists. All of them had pious and reverent expressions.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

The head of escorts knelt and kowtowed to the statue as he said respectfully, " &Quot; I'm a faithful man, Lu Xun. I've encountered an evil spirit on my way. Please bless me, great immortal, to dispel the evil aura, to drive away ghosts and monsters, and to bless me with a smooth and safe journey ... &Quot;

"I'll definitely repay you in the future ..."

As he spoke, Lu Xun suddenly felt that something wasn't right. With a glance, he suddenly saw viscous blood gushing out of the ground. Within the blood, there were also ghastly white fingers, broken human skin, eyeballs ... They were floating up and down.

Lu Hui's expression suddenly changed. He immediately looked up and saw the eyes of the statue open, looking at him with a ferocious expression.

&Quot; ah ah ah ah ah!!!! &Quot;

Incomparably shrill screams came from the temple.
