"Do you feel a lot more relaxed?"
"It's a little bit. I felt a little depressed just now, but it's much better now."
"I also have this feeling."
As soon as I walked onto the trail, I felt my heart lighten up, as if something had left me.
Others just felt it, but Ye Qing could "see" it clearly. In his mental perception, wisps of strange demonic energy overflowed from everyone's bodies and dissipated in the air the moment they walked onto the trail.
Of course, not only Ye Qing, but also Yipou and Xie Chengyun also noticed something strange about them.
"This Taoist temple is really weird." Yipou muttered in a low voice.
"No matter what weirdness there is, as long as it is good for us." Ye Qing had a smile on his face, seemingly indifferent, but in fact he was thinking deeply. He was not aware of the wisps of demonic aura on their bodies beforehand, and he did not know what the demonic aura was. Did they get it during the day, or after dark?
No matter what, you must be more careful in the future.
Otherwise, I probably won’t even know how he will die by then.
"Hey, where's Brother Wu?"
"Still at the foot of the mountain, I'll call him."
"Brother Wu, what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and go up the mountain?"
"Hey, you guys go first. We are all fellows. Everyone is dead. We can't let them expose their bodies in the wilderness. I'll find a place to bury them and I'll come back later."
"Bullshit, this grandson sounds nice, but in reality he wants to plunder those people's belongings. Oh my god, why didn't I think of this just now? This grandson actually got the upper hand."
After saying that, several people turned around and rushed down the mountain.
At the same time, there were several people at the foot of the mountain stroking around on the bodies of those who had killed themselves, obviously looking for something.
"Be careful, don't go."
But as soon as they took a few steps, they were stopped by Xie Chengyun.
"Brother Xie, we just want to..."
Several people thought that Xie Chengyun blocked them because they were greedy, and hurriedly explained, but in the middle of the sentence, Xie Chengyun interrupted them directly: "Look at their backs."
"What's behind?" Several people couldn't help but look down the mountain.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. This sight made several people collapse to the ground in fright: "Then... what is that?"
In front of their eyes, they saw a person lying on the backs of the four people at the foot of the mountain.
It climbed on everyone's back, wrapped its arms around each other's necks, and its long hair covered its face. It hung down from both sides of the four people's necks and floated in the air, giving people an extremely weird and evil feeling.
As for the four people, they were completely unaware and were still picking up the corpses on the ground with excited expressions on their faces.
"Is that... a person?" Li Longxiang asked tremblingly.
"Could that be a human?" Yi Pian gave Li Longxiang a blank look.
If it's not human, it must be weird.
"Wu...Brother Wu, come up quickly." The few people stopped by Xie Chengyun also recovered from their shock, and one of them hurriedly shouted down the mountain.
"Why are you urging me? I'm urging you to die, mother." Someone said impatiently at the foot of the mountain.
"You mother, you want money rather than your life, you are a bunch of idiots, there is something weird behind you." The man on the mountain was also anxious and yelled.
"Weird, what weird?"
Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but look behind them, but they didn't seem to see anything.
They couldn't see it, but the people on the mountain could see it clearly. When they turned their heads and looked behind them, the flesh and blood on their faces and bodies rotted in pieces and fell to the ground, like ripe pieces. Like a persimmon.
What's even more creepy is that the strange people behind the four people seemed to hear the shouts of the people on the mountain and slowly raised their heads, revealing their hair to cover their faces.
And those four faces were exactly the same as the faces of the four people beneath them.
Immediately, four weirdos, with faces identical to the four people beneath them, looked at the people on the mountain and grinned.
"hiss……"
Suddenly, everyone on the mountain couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and a chill shot straight from the soles of their feet to the Tianling Cap.
"Tap..."
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the darkness, as if countless people were stepping on the rain.
The next moment, under the horrified gaze of everyone, a group of martial arts warriors with rotting flesh and blood walked out of the darkness and slowly gathered at the foot of the mountain. Like the previous four, these martial arts warriors were carrying a strange thing behind them.
A weirdo with his own face.
Then, the monsters all raised their heads, looked at the people on the mountain, and slowly opened their mouths, revealing their strong white teeth.
"Master...Master, then...those monsters won't rush up, right?" Li Longxiang said tremblingly, his scalp numb as he was stared at by the monsters at the foot of the mountain.
"Probably not. They came here this morning. There must be something special about this Taoist temple that prevents those weirdos from coming up." Ye Qing touched his nose and said.
According to his guess, those weird things should be related to the demonic energy that just escaped from their bodies. If they went up the mountain later, they would most likely become like those people.
"Brother, what on earth is this?" Yipo swallowed. He had never seen, or even heard of, such a weird thing.
"Do you look at my innocent eyes like I know something?" Ye Qing licked his lips and felt his scalp numb.
"The night in the Demon Tomb is really weird."
"Fortunately, those things seem to be afraid to come up. This Taoist temple is really magical." Yipou said happily.
"Okay, don't look away. Those people are hopeless. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go up the mountain quickly!"
After saying that, Ye Qing turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple on the mountain without looking back.
It's too dangerous, too dangerous. It seems that only the Taoist temple on the mountain is safer.
"Brother, wait for me!"
Seeing that Ye Qing was gone, Yipou hurriedly followed him: "Long Xiang, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you leave quickly?"
"Oh, here we come." Li Longxiang responded hurriedly and trotted to catch up with the two of them.
"Brother, what should we do?" Seeing Ye Qing and others leaving, a disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect looked at Xie Chengyun.
"Let's go up the mountain too." Xie Chengyun said, then glanced at the stunned people around him and said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I advise you all, it's best to go up the mountain to hide."
After saying that, Xie Chengyun didn't wait for those people's reaction, and walked up the mountain with a few senior brothers and sisters.
"Oh, thanks for the tip, brother."
"Thank you so much, brother."
"So what do we do now?"
"What to do? Of course it's cold. If you're not afraid of death, just stay here. I'm a coward, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, I'm leaving too."
"Oh, wait for me... you grandsons, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. If you want to be alone, it's a beautiful idea!"
…
For a moment, everyone rushed towards the Taoist temple on the mountain.
No one noticed that after they left, the corners of the mouths of those weird people at the foot of the mountain slowly turned up, the corners of their lips were torn, and strands of bright red blood were left along the corners of their lips.
It seems that all the weird people are laughing, laughing wantonly, laughing arrogantly, laughing ironically, and laughing strangely. His face is stained with blood, and he laughs at the world.
…
"Tao produces one, produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things."
"One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, three sticks of incense, incense to worship the gods."
"This couplet is quite interesting. The first couplet is born in the world, and the first couplet expresses the true meaning of Taoism. The second couplet comes into the world, and in one sentence it expresses what the gods and gods want."
At the door of the Taoist temple, Yipo looked at the couplets at the door and said with great interest: "Wonderful, wonderful, it suits my Taoist taste very well."
"Horizontal criticism is even better, sincerity will make it happen."
Ye Qing touched his nose and smiled: "Seeking Taoism and freedom lies in sincerity, and worshiping immortals and gods also depends on sincerity."
"Haha... what I said is very close to my heart."
Yipou laughed and entered the Taoist temple.
After entering the Taoist temple, the first thing you see is a small courtyard, which is paved with bluestones, the ground is neat and clean, and there is not a single weed or overgrown tree.
There is a small hall with clay statues in the courtyard. It is also the only place in the Taoist temple that can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Enshrined in the house is a tall and thin Taoist with a blurred face. He holds a fly whisk in one hand and puts it on his arm. He holds a magic sword in the other to slay monsters and evil spirits. White clouds are stepping on his feet.
After entering the house, the group of people was clearly divided into several groups. Ye Qing stayed with Yipong and Li Longxiang, Xie Chengyun stayed with his junior brother and junior sister, and the remaining six people stayed together.
Yes, there were more than twenty people before, but now only six people are dead, so the six people hugged together unconsciously.
"Hey, there are actually fresh fruits on this incense table?"
The furnishings in the house are simple, without any tables, chairs, or benches. The only furniture is the incense table in front of the statue. There is an ordinary incense burner on the incense table. On both sides of the incense burner are some tributes, and some of the fruits are still fresh.
"This... this seems to be no ordinary fruit, but a spiritual fruit, Langgan Golden Flower Fruit."
One person suddenly exclaimed.
"What, Langgan Golden Flowers and Fruits, Brother Xiao, are you right?"
"How could I admit my mistake? Look, there is a faint golden flower pattern on this fruit. It is obviously Langgan Golden Flower Fruit."
"Really, haha..."
"I advise you not to touch those spiritual fruits. You don't even think about it. We are the first wave of people to go up the mountain. Who presented those fruits there?" Xie Chengyun looked at a few people who were about to move.
His words were like a basin of cold water poured on those people's heads, causing them to calm down immediately, and layers of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"Could it be that there are other people in this Taoist temple? No...it's impossible, right?" One person said tremblingly.
"No, this Taoist temple is so big that you can see clearly at a glance. There is no place to hide people. How could there be other people?"
"Then where do these Langgan golden flowers and fruits come from?"
"Ask me, who the hell should I ask?"
"Maybe it's the legacy of the owner of this Taoist temple?"
"Hey, is this really possible?"
As the six of them spoke, the greed in their hearts suppressed their fear. They looked at the golden flowers and fruits on the incense table with greed in their eyes.
"What do you want to do? My senior brother has already said, don't touch those fruits, didn't you hear?"
Seeing the actions of the six people, a disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect said angrily: "You want to die, why haven't we lived enough?"
"Hmph, if you want Langgan Golden Flowers and Fruits, just say so. What's dangerous? What danger could there be here?"
A sinister-looking man with a strong build and arms above his knees snorted.
