“By the way…”

Just as the old man wanted the hand, Luo Yun suddenly turned around.

The old man was shocked and hurriedly covered his hideous and terrifying face with his hands.

If it was night, or it was a rainy day without any sun, he was not afraid of being seen by Luo Yun. At most, he would just swallow Luo Yun's yang energy and flesh and blood together.

Anyway, the Xuanyi Niangniang Temple is on the hillside, and there are not even a few living people around, not to mention the surveillance eye. If you swallow one or two people, you will not be noticed at all.

But it's noon now, and the sun in the sky is so poisonous, and even living people feel uncomfortable, let alone ghosts.

The old man's ghostly aura was suppressed by the sun and could barely control the clay figurines to move around. It was already very good that he could barely keep people. Once his true identity was discovered, he could not keep them. With his current situation, if an ordinary person pushes him hard, he would have to fall to the ground and smash it.

So he didn't dare let Luo Yun see his current appearance.

"I want to inhal my yang energy? It's not that easy." Luo Yun sneered in his heart, and pretended to be surprised on his face, and asked with concern: "Grandpa Miao Zhu, what are you doing with your mouth covered? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The old man followed Luo Yun's words: "Oh, I suffered a little cold last night, my throat was uncomfortable, and I was always coughing. Cough cough cough..."

"Do you want me to take you to the town hospital below?" Luo Yun stepped forward and asked.

"No, no, I cooked some herbs and drank a bowl later. It won't take long to get better." The old man covered his face with one hand and waved his hands repeatedly, for fear that Luo Yun would approach.

Although he was hiding in the clay figurines and was not afraid of the sun, he did not dare to leave the Xuanyi Niangniang Temple. Because his strength was limited, once he left the small temple, he lost the protection of the Xuanyi Niangniang, even if there were clay figurines, it would be impossible. He would be scattered by the poisonous sunshine at noon in minutes.

"What else do you have?" The old man was anxious to change the subject.

"I want to ask, when I go in to worship Empress Xuanyi, should I donate money for incense? How much is appropriate?" Luo Yun said.

"It's okay." The old man replied. "As long as you believe in Empress Xuanyi with sincere heart and devout faith, it doesn't matter whether you donate incense or not."

"Okay, I understand." Luo Yun nodded and turned around.

The old man hurriedly let go of his hand, and his ferocious mouth opened wide again to absorb the yang energy.

But Luo Yun turned his head again: "There is another thing..."

The old man hurriedly covered his face with his hands. Because he was too quick, he almost stuffed his hands into his mouth and broke the clay-shaped mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." The old man was not pretending to cough, but was really coughing. He was frightened by Luo Yun's sudden turn around and coughing. He hated Luo Yun even more: You are not playing with me on purpose, right? You also told me not to suck my yang energy.

"Miao Zhu Grandpa, I see that you cough very hard, really don't go to the hospital?" Luo Yun asked.

"What's wrong with you if you don't go or not?" the old man asked, his tone was not so good... It's right. No matter who it was, he was about to eat delicious food, but he was interrupted continuously and he couldn't get better.

Luo Yun laughed in his heart, but he didn't show any of it: "I want to ask, is there any particular thing to pay attention to when worshiping Empress Xuanyi? I heard that there are differences between worshiping Bodhisattvas and Taoist Immortals, gestures, etc."

"There is no need to be a matter of attention. Put your hands together and kneel down and kowtow. The movements are not important, as long as you are sincere." The old man replied.

"Okay, OK, I understand, thank you for the answer." Luo Yun turned around again.

The old man hesitated this time, for fear that once he let go of his hand, Luo Yun would turn around again.

His hesitation missed the opportunity.

Luo Yun crossed the high threshold and walked into the hall.

The old man's face turned green, and he didn't dare to absorb the yang energy in the hall of Empress Xuanyi.

Although Empress Xuanyi turned a blind eye to her subordinates sucking people's yang energy in and outside the temple. After all, after eating meat, she had to let her subordinates drink some soup, otherwise no one would be willing to serve her. But she did not allow her subordinates to enter her hall without her permission. She also did not allow her subordinates to absorb people's yang energy in her hall.

It doesn’t matter if you absorb yang energy in and outside the temple, or even kill and eat people, but these things are strictly prohibited in her hall.

It’s not that she has a cleanliness habit, but because once a ghost absorbs human yang energy in the hall and harms people, it will cause great hindrance to the formation and absorption of incense vows. Therefore, even she herself absorbs human yang energy outside the hall.

Although now, due to the sudden decrease in pilgrims and the incense vows have greatly weakened, this rule has been implemented for decades and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of ghosts. Moreover, the Empress Xuanyi never said that she would change it. So although the old man was unwilling to accept it, he had to give up for the time being.

He stared at Luo Yun's back, gritted his teeth, and said angrily in his heart: "You always have to come out of the hall. When you come out, I will find another opportunity to absorb your yang energy. If you don't believe it, you can't absorb it!"

The black cat squatting on Luo Yun's shoulder saw the old man's reaction and what he thought clearly. It smiled and said to Luo Yun, "This ghost is so angry with you!"

Luo Yun said in his heart without hesitation: "Why is it so easy for him to absorb my yang energy? But I really thank you just now. I will reward you with dried fish after I go back."

The reason why Luo Yun did not look back just now was that he could clearly grasp the actions of the old man behind him was all thanks to the help of the black cat.

This black cat is the eyes behind him.

"Young man is very good now!" The black cat squinted his eyes and expressed his satisfaction.

Luo Yun didn't waste time chatting, so he opened his spiritual eyes and looked at the main hall.

The floor of the hall is paved with bluestone bricks, the walls are painted white, and there are scrolls hanging. The contents on the paintings are all stories of the Empress Xuanyi appearing to save people.

In the middle of the main hall is a statue of the Empress, wearing a black garland, holding a lotus flower in her left hand and a porcelain bottle in her right hand. She has a graceful temperament and a compassionate smile on her face... At first glance, she thought this was the Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.

But the goddess statue was sitting not a lotus platform, but a black giant python with a coiled tiles! The head of the python was raised high and spitting out a red letter, but it was not ferocious at all. Instead, it showed a bit of silly and mighty, which made people know at a glance that this was a fairy mount tamed by the Queen Mother Xuanyi.

On both sides of the statue of the Empress Xuanyi, two boys stood, one man and one woman, with their hands folded together and their expressions were solemn, just like the golden boy and jade girl beside Guanyin Bodhisattva.

These are the situations that ordinary people see when they come.

But after Luo Yun used his spiritual eyes, he saw a completely different scene!

The black giant python was not a statue, but a real giant python! It coiled on the divine platform, and the snake's eyes kept swallowing and spitting, scarlet and the big snake's eyes shot out a creepy and fierce light, staring at Luo Yun with saliva gushing out from the corner of his mouth. There was no doubt that if it weren't for the rules set by the Empress Xuanyi, this black giant python would have swallowed Luo Yun on the spot!
