Some kind-hearted townspeople remembered that two other people had been thrown into the well, so they hurried to the well, pushed away the stones, and removed the wooden boards.
Strangely, the well was empty, and the two people who were thrown down were not seen.
The townspeople felt strange and talked about this matter a lot...
On a large rock outside the town, Ye Ming sat on the rock and drank wine leisurely. His body was very dry and there was no sign of getting wet.
But Chang Hanzhe next to him was different. He was soaked all over, and coupled with the cold weather, he was shivering from the cold.
Maisui hugged Lei Ling and came over with Donkey Gen behind her.
Chang Hanzhe, whose face turned blue from the cold and had runny nose, said to Ye Ming:
"Mr. Yang, you know magic, can you help me get some water too?"
"No, my magic power is limited. I can only use it three times a day. I used it twice when I brought you out just now, and I used it once to dry my clothes. I can't use it anymore."
Ye Ming came up with a random reason.
Chang Hanzhe didn't understand this, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"Let's go. There is an abandoned mountain temple over there. Let's make a fire there and let you dry your clothes."
Ye Ming pointed in a direction and walked first.
Chang Hanzhe quickly followed.
The abandoned mountain temple was not far away, and we arrived in a short while.
When they arrived outside the mountain temple, Ye Ming suddenly picked up Lei Ling by the back of her neck and threw her out.
Lei Ling is dissatisfied and is about to explode with all her teeth and claws.
Ye Ming waved his hand and said to Maisui:
"Take her around the neighborhood."
Maisui didn't say anything, just picked up Lei Ling and went somewhere else.
Lei Ling stared at Ye Ming with a resentful look on her face. This old devil went too far and always started to use his hands and feet.
"Mr. Yang, what are you doing?"
Chang Hanzhe was a little puzzled by Ye Ming's behavior.
"If you want to bake your clothes, do you need to take off your clothes first? It's inconvenient for them, so let them get out of the way."
Ye Ming explained casually.
Chang Hanzhe was dubious, always feeling that this person was not telling the truth.
This mountain temple has indeed been abandoned for a long time, and the statues have been completely broken.
There are quite a few rotten trees of all kinds, making it very convenient to light a fire.
Chang Hanzhe lit a fire with his hands that were almost numb from the cold, quickly took off his coat and started to bake his clothes.
The weather was pretty good today, there was almost no wind, so Chang Hanzhe simply took off his underwear, which caused a huge fire.
Ye Ming lay on the removed door panel, closed his eyes to rest, and seemed to fall asleep soon.
Just as Chang Hanzhe was baking the clothes, a rough voice full of majesty suddenly sounded:
"How dare a mortal do such a blasphemous act!"
The sudden sound frightened Chang Hanzhe, and he subconsciously looked back, but saw nothing.
"Who? Who's talking?"
Chang Hanzhe asked a little suspiciously.
"Of course it is God who is speaking."
The sound sounded again, and this time, Chang Hanzhe discovered the source of the sound.
It turned out to be the dilapidated statue.
"Are you a mountain god?"
Chang Hanzhe looked at the statue in front of him in surprise.
"Yes, I am the mountain god here."
The majestic voice said, and then reprimanded Chang Hanzhe,
"You are such an ignorant mortal. You actually set fire to the wood in my temple and dared to humiliate me naked. You are really bullying me!"
"Ah, this..."
Chang Hanzhe subconsciously looked at Ye Ming sleeping on the door panel.
It's just that Ye Ming seemed to be sleeping deeply and didn't wake up.
"I have cast a spell to make him sleep, and he will not wake up!"
The voice claiming to be the mountain god said, and then said to Chang Hanzhe,
"Although my temple is in ruins, it is not something that a little mortal like you can insult lightly. I will be whipped forty times as a punishment."
Chang Hanzhe looked a little ugly when he heard that he would be whipped forty times.
Forty lashes could kill a mortal, let alone an immortal. If he were to receive a beating, it would be unclear whether he would survive.
"God, what happened today was something Chang had no choice but to do. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty..."
Chang Hanzhe defended himself and gave a long list of reasons.
The self-proclaimed mountain god heard this and sighed:
"That's all, I, Lord God, have a large number, so I won't argue with you.
It's just that my temple has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has offered incense for many years. If you are willing, you can offer me a stick of incense. "
Hearing this, Chang Hanzhe nodded in agreement.
It does look like there hasn't been any incense here for a long time.
There was some old incense in the incense box nearby. Chang Hanzhe took three sticks, lit them together, and inserted them into the incense burner.
After that, he bowed again.
In this way, the incense offering is completed.
After offering incense, Chang Hanzhe asked:
"God, is this okay?"
No voice answered him.
I called a few more times, but still no response.
Seeing this, Chang Hanzhe judged that the mountain god should be satisfied after receiving the incense and never show up again.
"Hey, the mountain god in this dilapidated place is quite pitiful. If you have time in the future, you can come and burn incense sticks again."
While Chang Hanzhe was talking to himself, Ye Ming stretched himself and looked like he had woken up.
"Mr. Yang..."
Seeing Ye Ming wake up, Chang Hanzhe hurried forward and told Ye Ming truthfully what had just happened.
Ye Ming just smiled and said nothing about this.
This made Chang Hanzhe not know what to say.
This Mr. Yang can count, do magic, and is definitely not an ordinary person, but why doesn't he say anything about the mountain god?
"Okay, the clothes are baked, let's leave. We have to have dinner after we go down the mountain."
Ye Ming moved his body and left first.
When Chang Hanzhe heard that he was eating, he felt hungry.
He hadn't eaten anything since morning, and he was thrown into a well and almost drowned. It was really miserable.
Chang Hanzhe, who was starving, felt a little unable to walk.
After descending the mountain, they met up with Maisui and Leiling on the way, and the group went up the official road again.
After walking forward for a while, we encountered a village.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Just stay here tonight."
Chang Hanzhe didn't want to talk anymore because he was too hungry.
Just when he was thinking about how to get some food, he suddenly saw two people wearing sackcloth and mourning coming this way, and their target seemed to be Chang Hanzhe.
"Master, I finally meet a master who can do magic!"
One of them came up and took Chang Hanzhe's hand.
"Master, quickly, please do a ritual for my family!"
Chang Hanzhe was a little confused when he was pulled in this way. Apparently, due to the way they were dressed, the two of them mistook themselves for monks.
I originally wanted to explain that I was not a real monk, but I heard these two people say that they would be rewarded and invited to dinner.
This made Chang Hanzhe's heart move.
Although it was immoral to pretend to be a monk, what he wanted to do most now was to fill his stomach first.
Besides, he didn't think he was unqualified.
In terms of his understanding of Buddhism, he considers himself to be no worse than a formal monk. It is just a ritual, no big deal.
Ever since, Chang Hanzhe agreed.
After being brought home by the two people, I realized that the rituals to be performed this time were not simple, and it was not something that ordinary people could handle.
It has been three days since the old man of this family passed away. During these three days, a dark wind would blow in the mourning hall every night, and the sound of ghosts crying would be heard from time to time.
This frightened the family, and some people immediately expressed their intention to invite the eminent monks from Yuanwen Temple to perform rituals.
Unexpectedly, Yuanwen Temple has been preparing to welcome Princess Zhengwen these days and has no time to send anyone.
In this way, things can only be delayed again and again.
After Chang Hanzhe heard about this, his paws suddenly became numb.
He didn't know how to exorcise evil spirits, so he subconsciously looked at Ye Ming, hoping he would give him an idea.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"It's simple. You just need to sleep in the mourning hall tonight to ensure that the problem is solved."
"Ah~~Is this okay?"
Chang Hanzhe felt a little unsure, but seeing that Ye Ming looked confident, he had no choice but to believe it.
That night, the family treated Chang Hanzhe to a good meal and made a floor in the mourning hall just for him.
Chang Hanzhe huddled in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He wanted to ask Ye Ming who was resting in the guest room, but remembering the other party's instructions not to leave the mourning hall, Chang Hanzhe struggled for a while and decided not to leave the mourning hall.
Just after sleeping for a while, I suddenly felt the wind blowing in the mourning hall.
Moreover, the surrounding doors and windows were closed, and there was a sudden wind in the room.
That kind of wind is cold and terrifying, making people unconsciously think of some terrible things.
Chang Hanzhe huddled in the bed and curled up into a ball.
Suddenly, bursts of ghostly cries sounded in my ears. The sound was sharp and shrill, making people's scalp numb and hair-raising.
Chang Hanzhe saw a ghost with a somewhat transparent body emerging from the coffin in the mourning hall. It was not an old man, but a green-faced and fanged ghost.
After the ghost completely appeared, Chang Hanzhe discovered that the ghost's left leg had no feet and seemed to have been chopped off.
After the ghost appeared, its green eyes looked at Chang Hanzhe, and it floated directly towards him, with its sharp claws stretched out towards his neck.
Chang Hanzhe was horrified when he saw this, but seeing a ghost for the first time in his life, he was so frightened that his whole body was so weak that he couldn't get up at all, let alone run away.
Just when he thought he was doomed, the window outside the mourning hall suddenly opened, and a huge monster appeared outside.
This is a monster that looks like an evil spirit, with two heads and one body, weak legs and powerful hands, a naked body, and a length of two feet.
As soon as the monster appeared, its two heads looked into the room, one staring at Chang Hanzhe, and the other staring at the ghost.
The monster's tiger-claw-like hands shot out and hit the ghost.
The ghost was frightened, dodged, passed through the wall, and appeared outside. With a shout, it pounced on the monster.
Chang Hanzhe watched the fight between ghosts and monsters with his own eyes, and the scene was horrifying and horrifying.
The huge monster didn't get much benefit from the ghost, and the two sides fought inextricably.
Chang Hanzhe didn't understand what was going on and was just a bystander.
It was only after the monster was clawed by a ghost and screamed that it became a bit surprising.
The monster's cry sounded so familiar. Wasn't it the mountain god I met at the mountain temple during the day?
So, the mountain god sensed that he was in danger and came to rescue him?
For a moment, Chang Hanzhe was full of affection for this ugly god.
As expected, gods are beyond appearances. I just put on the incense stick to apologize, and others came to save me. I am really a great god!
In the end, the ghost failed to defeat the huge monster and turned around and ran away without returning to the mourning hall.
Chang Hanzhe was greatly excited when he saw this.
Even if evil does not prevail over good, the mountain god is still powerful!
Just as he was thinking about how to thank the other party, he saw the monster looking at him again and stretched out his hand to catch him.
"God? What are you doing?"
Chang Hanzhe asked in confusion.
"God? Hahaha, boy, don't you understand that you are about to die?"
Seeing Chang Hanzhe's appearance, the monster felt a little funny.
"You are just my chosen food!"
With that said, he was about to grab Chang Hanzhe and put it into his mouth to eat.
At this moment, a beautiful cat suddenly appeared.
Although the cat has a small body, it is surprisingly powerful, knocking the monster to the ground directly.
