Next, Yan Minghua also followed up and said: "I didn't find out much about this. I only heard a few old women who couldn't sleep at night mention that worshiping and enshrining these ghosts and gods is just a custom passed down from our ancestors."

"Others, I'm not sure about..."

Pei Ling nodded slightly and looked at "Xi" again.

"Xi" said: "The news I heard is that the custom of worshiping ghosts and gods has a long history."

"Mortals here, even if they don't take it seriously on weekdays, will go there to offer incense and offer incense in order to get their wish."

"Moreover, over the years, every once in a while, someone will disappear."

"There are also some deeds that we don't know whether they are true or not, and there is no evidence. For example, a person brought his son to offer incense. His son was young and naughty. When he kowtowed, he quietly opened his eyes and looked at the statues to make faces. Only to find that the statues of ghosts and gods were also the same.

Opening his eyes and looking at him with a ferocious smile, the child was frightened and had a convulsion on the spot. He fell ill and died soon..."

"The temple of ghosts and gods is usually deserted, but in the middle of the night, screams are often heard, which is terrifying. Even during the day, no one dares to pass by easily..."

"There are also rumors that some people have seen the statues of gods bleeding, mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the temples, etc..."

Pei Ling listened carefully. The rumors told by the three people were very likely to be true!

Now he wants to fight with these ghosts and gods, but the most important thing is to find out their true strength.

Senior Sister Li and Yan Minghua cannot take risks on this matter, just leave it to "Xi" and "Xiao".

So, he immediately asked: "Which ghost is closest to this place?"

official way.

When the loess was flying, the green shade of the road-protecting trees was like clouds, blocking a considerable part of the dust.

Fourteen strong knights with bows and swords, surrounded by a linoleum cart, walked hesitantly.

The chief escort was still sitting cross-legged on the carriage shaft, holding a riding whip and looking ahead.

His face was no longer as calm and confident as before, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth were drooped, revealing a depressed look.

The entire escort team was immersed in their journey, and everyone's face was still filled with fear and anxiety, but no one made a sound. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as if a huge stone hung above their heads. In the silence, only the horse's hooves stepped on the solid loess.

The sound of "click", accompanied by the windlass of the linoleum cart, resounded throughout the team.

The tall and straight road-protecting trees are constantly retreating. Although this official road repaired and maintained by the government is not crowded now because it is still early and it is not a prosperous place, the scattered pedestrians gradually make everyone feel a little calmer.

Originally, they were short on time for this trip, and they could save a lot of travel by taking a small road across the wilderness, so they had never taken the official road before.

But what I experienced last night...

At present, all the escorts, including the head escort, how can they care about saving time?

No matter how late the goods are delivered, it will be delivered a few days late, but life is still the most important thing!

"Da da da..."

Amidst the sound of horse hooves, smoke and dust dispersed, and birds flew away in fright.

After a while, a small temple hidden among the trees suddenly appeared on the bank of the official road ahead.

This is the place where the Red Winged Immortal is enshrined.

It is said that in the early years, someone received the favor of Red Wing Immortal and built a temple here to worship him.

Anyone who frequents this road knows the origin of this temple.

However, most pedestrians, coming and going in a hurry, will not stop for this.

Seeing this temple, the head escort suddenly raised his hand, and the entire escort team immediately stopped.

But I saw the chief escort looking at the temple, his brows furrowing even more tightly. He had traveled all over the country for so many years, and he didn't believe in these things before, but last night...

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "It's still early, so go ahead and burn a stick of incense."

When the escorts heard this, they were startled for a moment. After they came to their senses, they quickly responded: "Yes!"

If they hadn't been in charge of the escort now, they would have long wanted to find a place to burn incense and pay homage. Now that the chief escort chief had spoken about it in person, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So, the escort team immediately stopped in front of this temple.

Although there are no pedestrians on the official road at the moment, the chief escort still ordered: "Leave a few people outside to watch things, and the others will go in first with me."

At the moment, two older bodyguards stayed behind to guard their mounts and goods, while the others followed the chief bodyguard and quickly walked into the temple.

This temple occupies a small area and has a single gate. After entering the gate and bypassing the simple screen wall engraved with the origin of the temple, there is a small courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is a four-legged bronze incense burner with curved patterns, about chest high. It is filled with dense incense. It burns nearly half of it, and the smell of incense lingers throughout the courtyard.

Behind it is a hilltop-style house with double eaves.

There are three rooms in a row, and in the middle is the main hall dedicated to Red Wing Immortal. At this moment, the lights are dimly lit and the door is wide open.

There is a wing room on the left and right. Under normal circumstances, it is the residence of the temple priests who guard this place. They are all silent at the moment.

Standing in the courtyard, looking around and seeing no one coming out, the chief escort immediately summoned up all his inner energy and said loudly: "Hui, who is on the lower road, is from Chuyun Mansion, and I am the chief escort of the Fuyuan Escort Bureau."

"I passed by a treasured place today and came here to offer incense."

"May I ask where the temple blessing is here?"

Lu Hui's internal energy was strong and abundant, and his voice instantly spread throughout the temple.

In the main hall, the statue's eyes, which were originally closed, opened slightly and then returned to their original state.

After waiting for a moment and seeing no one respond, the chief escort frowned, took a few steps forward, walked to the door of the main hall and looked around, only to see that there was no one inside. However, on the long table on the left hand side, there was a ready-made

Incense stick.

So, he walked directly in, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, and picked up a stick of incense.

The escorts behind him saw this and followed suit.

Now, they just want to burn incense sticks quickly and get rid of the evil spirits they encountered last night under the protection of these great immortals who have temples to worship them.

The chief escort took out the fire stick from his arms, lit the incense, stepped forward with great respect, and inserted it into the incense burner under the statue.

Then with a "plop" sound, he fell to his knees.

Many bodyguards followed closely behind, and soon, in the small hall, there were warriors kneeling on the ground, everyone looked pious and respectful.

The head escort knelt down and kowtowed to the statue, and said respectfully: "Xinnan is on his way to the road. If he encounters evil spirits on the road, please ask the immortal to protect him, drive away the evil spirits, drive away the ghosts, and bless Xinnan for a smooth and safe journey..."

"Believe me, you will be rewarded in the future..."

As he was talking, Lu Hui suddenly felt something was wrong. He glanced at it and suddenly saw thick blood pouring out of the ground. In the blood, there were white fingers, broken human skin, and eyes... Zai Shen Zai

float.

Lu Hui's expression suddenly changed. He immediately raised his head and saw the statue's eyes opened, looking at him ferociously.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
