"Ding dong! It has been detected that the Wuming Kung Fu is a dual cultivation technique and requires a Taoist companion to practice it."

"Ding dong! It is detected that the host lacks a Taoist companion, and the system will give you a Taoist companion for free..."

The system's beeps sounded one after another, and Pei Ling was suddenly shocked. It wasn't that the mentally retarded system was giving away Tao companions for free, but how could he lack Tao companions?

He has a Taoist companion!

Before Pei Ling could figure out the problem, under the control of the system, he had already strode towards the Taoist temple hall.

Along the way, there are green bamboos and fragrant pistils, and the scenery is quite elegant.

Soon, Pei Ling opened the palace door and walked in.

The layout of this main hall is no different from that of an ordinary Taoist temple, except that the statues of gods enshrined are hidden behind heavy curtains, and their appearance cannot be clearly seen.

On the long table in front of the shrine, there are offerings such as melons, fruits, fish and meat, which look very fresh.

It seems like it was served not long ago.

On the green brick floor below, a row of futons was neatly placed, with many incense and candles placed on both sides.

At this moment, most of the incense candles were extinguished, and only part of the candles were still burning as usual.

The smoke and fire in the entire temple was so strong that it was so strong that it was choking.

Seeing this scene, Pei Ling felt calm.

No matter what the system gives him right now, it's better than playing hide and seek in this deserted Taoist temple!

But then, he saw himself walking back and forth around the hall.

After walking in more than twenty circles in total, I finally sat down on a futon in the back: "Ding dong! The system did not search for the Taoist companion, and the gift failed!"

"Ding dong! A lack of Taoist companions has been detected. This practice ends here. Thank you to the host for using the intelligent cultivation system, one-click hosting, and worry-free ascension! I look forward to your sharing of practice evaluations. If you are satisfied, please give five stars!"

Pei Ling's face changed slightly as he regained control of his body.

Did the system fail to detect a suitable female cultivator, or could it not leave the Taoist temple?

If it's the former, he can change the management method to another one.

But if it’s the latter…

Rumble!

Suddenly, a thunder crashed overhead.

Immediately, there was a chaotic sound of jumping beads on the tiles.

But suddenly it rained heavily.

Hua Hua Hua... Pei Ling stood up, walked to the door of the hall, frowned and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

The rain came suddenly and with great momentum. Almost instantly, raindrops the size of soybeans fell quickly and violently.

On the green brick ground in front of the court, a mist of water vapor quickly filled the courtyard.

Soon, a layer of heavy fog seemed to have arisen in the entire courtyard, blocking the view. Three feet away, one could only hear the roaring rain, but could not see the specific scene at all.

Even with the eyesight of a monk, he can only vaguely see some outlines.

Pei Ling's face was gloomy, this rain is very strange!

He did not dare to make direct contact, so he continued to summon a resentful soul at the sixth level of Qi training and ordered it to go into the rain.

The resentful spirit was fine at first, but after following Pei Ling's instructions, not long after walking in the direction of Zhaobi, it instantly lost contact with Pei Ling just like the resentful spirit at the fifth level of Qi training before.

And when Pei Ling used his vision to the extreme, he could only see that the resentful soul seemed to disappear into the mist all of a sudden.

No warning, no struggle.

He pondered slightly in his mind: "Two options. One is to practice [Burning Night Chapter], break through the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible, and then thoroughly investigate the strangeness on the spot."

"If it's still like this, weird but without any trace of other living beings, we'll just demolish this Taoist temple... and force out the weirdness behind the scenes!"

"The second is to entrust the [Blood Fiend Sword Technique], or other techniques, and continue to try to leave Pengyinguan. After going to the outside world, we can make long-term plans."

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Ling immediately decided to improve his cultivation level first.

Time is very precious right now, and he has already used the system once. He did not leave Peng Yingguan, but went deeper into this strange place.

If you continue to think about leaving now, it would be fine if you can succeed, but if you can't, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

More importantly, there are too many uncertain factors in the system.

If you give him something dangerous as a gift, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

No matter what, his own strength is his biggest trump card!

So, Pei Ling took out the jade bottle filled with Wumeng Powder and was about to take it when he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the hall.

He immediately put away the jade bottle, held the handle of the Nine Soul Saber with his backhand, and stood ready.

"Cough cough cough..." The group of people hurriedly stepped onto the stone steps in front of the hall. Before entering the hall, they were coughed by the strong smell of incense.

Amidst the coughing, seven or eight young men with fast boots and hanging swords looked like guards. After seeing Pei Ling, especially after seeing the Nine Soul Sword in his hand, they immediately moved their steps and pulled out the two young men.

The girl protects you.

The two female relatives are about the same age, but the slightly taller girl has thin skin and tender flesh, and a beautiful appearance. A black mole the size of a sesame seed at the corner of her mouth adds a bit of playfulness, and the clothes are bright and gorgeous; the slightly shorter girl has beautiful skin.

It's obviously a bit rougher, and its appearance can only be described as mediocre.

Wearing a simple green jacket and plain skirt, she stood in front of the former, looking very gray and inconspicuous.

It seems that this should be a master and servant pair.

"I am loyal to Ji, and I am in charge of the Ji family." The other party faced off silently for a moment. Among the group of people, the oldest, a middle-aged man in a soft robe, stepped out from the crowd, bowed his hands to Pei Ling, and spoke in harmony.

He said, "I was ordered by the old lady to escort the eldest lady back home. I didn't want to be within a stone's throw of the mansion, but was blocked by the heavy rain... I wonder if I can use your place to allow the eldest lady and the maid to take shelter for a while?"

Pei Ling did not answer immediately. He used the [Spiritual Eye Technique] and scanned everyone one by one. After carefully checking them several times, he found that these people were all mortals without cultivation.

He did not relax his vigilance because of this, and his eyes paused on the rain stains on the bodies of this group of people, wondering in his heart: is it because these people are too advanced in cultivation that he can't see through their concealment, or is it that the rain outside can hurt the soul but not damage it?

Flesh?

Or perhaps, this rainwater is aimed at the various methods of monks who have entered Taoism and is harmless to mortals?

He was unsure for a moment, so he slowly released the handle of the Nine Soul Sword and said calmly: "I am not the owner of Zheng Jingshan Mountain, but I am here to take shelter from the rain."

Zheng Jingshan?

Never heard of this name.

Moreover, the other party looked very young, so he probably wasn't a great swordsman.

Thinking of this, Ji Youzhong and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised their hands to Pei Ling, before escorting their young lady inside.

The main hall of the Taoist temple is quite large, and neither party wants to cause trouble.

Therefore, Ji Youzhong and his party specifically chose a corner opposite Pei Ling to settle down.

These people were obviously very skilled in wild life, and they soon managed to light a fire, and the soaked people gathered around the fire to keep warm.

The maid in the middle seemed to want to tease her young lady, but before she could finish her sentence, Ji Youzhong stopped her with a stern look.

Obviously, the other party is very cautious and does not want the female family members to attract too much attention while chatting and laughing, which may cause unintended consequences.

For a while, the only sound in the hall was the "crackling" sound of firewood burning, and no one spoke.

Pei Lingfu was sitting on a futon, seemingly closing his eyes to relax, but he was quietly observing every move of the group of people.

After a while, I didn't see anything unusual about them.

He shook his head slightly in his heart, what a pity.

If these people are really just ordinary people, they obviously came at the wrong time.

I can't protect myself right now. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save them...

Just as he was thinking this, footsteps came from outside the door again.

"Straight bitch, it's raining really hard!" Accompanied by curses, three men in different attires rushed in as if there was no one else around.
Chapter completed!
