I just want to be a quiet man

"Last night, I have tested repeatedly, and the fear I have collected has not improved my territory in the slightest."

"So the most important thing right now is to find a way to find the key to expanding the territory."

"As for the collection of blood, fear, hatred, resentment... we will discuss it later!"

Rule [-], only restore cultivation, nothing to do with expanding the territory?

Hearing this, the four of them suddenly became puzzled. They originally thought that Rule [-] could restore their cultivation base, and after the cultivation base is restored, the scope of the territory will also expand... But now, it seems that there are still some important conditions missing?

Thinking of this, Li Lieyue pondered: "There are too few clues now."

"Let's talk about all the news we inquired last night."

Immediately afterwards, she was the first to say, "Last night, I investigated all the settlements within a hundred miles to the east."

"A total of one city, two small towns, and five villages of different sizes were discovered."

"In these places, no trace of any monks was found."

"There are no monsters, ghosts or the like."

"After some investigation, I didn't find any clues about 'Yu' and the Pink Bride."

"There is a blue-faced ghost enshrined in the city, known as the Great Blue-faced Immortal."

Pei Ling listened carefully. After reading the rules on the tombstone last night, he asked the four of them to search for nearby clues.

Afterwards, the Escort passed by, and he only sent "Ci" back to test the rules on the tombstone through sound transmission.

But "Xi", Senior Sister Li and Yan Minghua continued to collect information...

Soon after Li Lieyue finished speaking, Yan Minghua also said, "I was investigating Baili to the west last night."

"The west is very barren and the terrain is steep. In many places, it is difficult for birds to cross. There are no cities, only a sporadic small town, and three or four small villages."

"In these places, there are no traces of monks or ghosts."

"After asking the villagers, I have never heard of any practice sect, nor have I heard any clues related to 'Yu' and the Pink Bride."

"Also, the town will send out a person every day to worship the Black Tooth Immortal. It seems to be some kind of long-standing custom."

After a while, after Yan Minghua finished speaking, Pei Ling nodded slightly, and then looked at "Xi".

"Xi" said in a deep voice, "I went to a place a hundred miles to the north last night."

"Most of these places are uninhabited. There are only two towns not far apart in a river valley a hundred miles away."

"No monks were found along the way, no 'Yu' and the junior in wedding dress were found."

"I also deliberately searched for the king's breath, but found nothing."

"In addition, each of the two towns enshrines a temple, which seems to be called the Dragon Spirit Immortal and the Ape Spirit Immortal..."

After listening, Pei Ling nodded slightly, and did not find any trace of "Yu" or the pink bride, which did not surprise him.

After all, if the positions of the three of them are not far apart, the third rule does not need to give such a long time as a year.

It's just that all the places investigated by Senior Sister Li, Yan Minghua, and "Xi" were enshrined. This situation is a bit like the Xiao Mansion in the first gate...

and many more!

Xiao Mansion? !

Pei Ling suddenly thought of something, and immediately understood that the Xiao Mansion was the domain of the Faceless Immortal.

Now that I want to expand my territory, the real way is probably to let mortals worship me like these ghosts and gods.

The more people enshrined and the wider the reputation spread, the wider his territory will be!

However, this requires the four senior sisters to spread his reputation everywhere for him, and it also takes a lot of time and energy to build statues and temples, and maintain and operate them.

But the rules on the tombstone are only set for one year, which is not enough for him to expand his territory!

Therefore, mediocre means cannot be used.

The best choice now is to compete with those ghosts and gods and directly replace them!

This approach is more in line with the inheritance of the "curse"!

Of course, this is just his guess right now, but he has to try it to know whether it is right or not.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately asked: "How strong are those ghosts and gods?"

strength?

Both Li Lieyue and Yan Minghua were taken aback, but they quickly realized that Li Lieyue said immediately, "I've never heard of the strength of those ghosts and gods."

"However, in the places I investigated, people often disappeared."

"But I don't know if it has something to do with ghosts and gods."

"In addition, there are rumors that some beggars stole offerings from ghosts and gods and stole incense money, and all of them suffered bad luck afterwards."

"But these are rumors without any definite evidence, and I don't know whether they are true or not."

She didn't know that Junior Brother Pei wanted to inquire about the situation of those ghosts and gods, and now she knew so much, all of them were searched through [Soul Search]...

Chapter 1 and Six: The Red Winged Immortal.

Next, Yan Minghua also said: "I didn't find out too much about this. I only heard a few old women who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night mentioned that worshiping these ghosts and gods is just a custom passed down from ancestors."

"I don't know much about the others..."

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

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

"Ordinary people here, even if they don't take it seriously on weekdays, when they encounter difficulties, they will go to offer incense and pray for success."

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

"There are also some deeds that are not known to be true or false, and have no evidence. For example, a person brought a son to offer incense. The son was young and naughty. When prostrating his head, he quietly opened his eyes and made faces at the statue of the god, only to find that the statue of ghosts and gods also He opened his eyes and looked at him with a smirk. The child was frightened and went into a convulsion on the spot. Afterwards, he fell ill and died soon..."

"The temples of ghosts and gods are usually deserted, but in the middle of the night, there are often screams and screams, which are creepy. Even in the daytime, no one dares to pass by easily..."

"It is also rumored that some people have seen blood gurgling from the statue, mountains of corpses and seas of blood in temples, etc..."

Pei Ling listened carefully. The rumors the three of them said were very likely to be true!

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

Senior Sister Li and Yan Minghua can't be allowed to take risks on this matter, just leave it to "Xi" and "Ti".

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

official way.

Amidst the flying loess, the green shade of the berm trees was like clouds, blocking a considerable part of the dust.

Fourteen strong knights with bows and sabers surrounded a linoleum cart and walked hesitantly.

The Chief Escort was still sitting cross-legged on the shaft of the chariot, holding a whip and looking ahead.

His complexion was no longer the same as before, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth drooped, revealing a look of distress.

The entire bodyguard team was on their way, everyone's face was still full of fear and anxiety, but no human voice was made, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as if a thousand weights were hanging above their heads.In the silence, only the "da da" sound of the horse's hoof stepping on the rammed loess, accompanied by the pulley of the linoleum cart, resounded through the team.

The tall and straight berm trees kept retreating. Although this official road was repaired and maintained by the government, although it was not crowded because it was still early and it was not a prosperous place, the sporadic pedestrians gradually calmed everyone down.

Originally, they had an urgent time for this trip, and they could save a lot of travel by taking a small road across the wilderness, so they hadn't taken the official road before.

But last night's experience...

Right now, all bodyguards, including the chief bodyguard, how can they save time?

If the goods are delivered a few days later, they will be delivered a few days later, life is the most important thing!

"Da da da……"

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the birds flew in fright.

After a while, a small temple among the bushes suddenly appeared beside the official road ahead.

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

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

People who often come and go on this road know the origin of this temple.

However, the vast majority of pedestrians, coming and going in a hurry, would not stop for this.

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

However, the Chief Escort looked at the temple, frowning even tighter. He had traveled all these years, and he didn't believe in these things at all before, but last night...

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

All the bodyguards were startled when they heard the words, but after realizing it, they quickly responded: "Yes!"

If they weren't still guarding the escort, they would have long wanted to find a place to burn incense and worship. Now that the head of the escort has personally spoken about it, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So, the dart team immediately stopped in front of the temple.

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

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

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

In the middle of the courtyard, there is a four-legged bronze censer with curved patterns, about chest height, with dense incense sticks inserted in it, nearly half burned, and the scent of incense lingers throughout the courtyard.

Behind it is a house with double eaves and a gable top.

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

There is a side room on the left and right, under normal circumstances, it is the residence of Miao Zhu, who guards the place, and they are all silent at the moment.

Standing in the courtyard, looking around, but no one came out, the head of the bodyguard suddenly exerted all his internal energy, and said in a loud voice: "Xialuhun, he is from the family of Chu Yunfu, and he is the head of the bodyguard of Fuyuan bodyguard bureau."

"I'm passing by the treasure land today, so I'm here to offer incense."

"May I ask where the temple wishes are?"

Lu Hun's inner strength was strong and abundant, and his voice instantly spread throughout the temple.

In the main hall, the eyes of the idol, which were originally closed, opened slightly, and then returned to normal.

After waiting for a while, seeing no response, the head escort frowned, stepped forward a few steps, walked to the entrance of the main hall and looked, but saw that there was no one inside, but on the long table on the left hand side, there was a ready-made incense sticks.

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

Seeing this, the bodyguards behind him followed suit.

Now, they just want to burn incense sticks quickly, and under the protection of these great immortals with temples to worship, they can get rid of the evil spirits they met last night.

The Chief Escort took out the fire folder from his bosom, lit the incense stick, stepped forward very respectfully, and inserted it into the incense burner under the statue.

Then with a "plop", 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 devout and respectful.

The head of the bodyguard kneeled and kowtowed to the god statue, and said respectfully: "Xinnan Lu Hun, encountered evil spirits on the road, please bless the great immortal, dispel the evil spirits, drive away the ghosts, and bless Xinnan's trip smoothly and safely..."

"Believe in men, there will be rewards in the future..."

As he was talking, Lu Hui suddenly felt that something was wrong. He glanced at it and suddenly saw sticky blood gushing out from the ground. In the blood, there were white fingers, broken human skin, and eyeballs... float.

Lu Hun's complexion changed suddenly, and he looked up immediately, and saw the statue's eyes opened, looking at him with a ferocious face.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

In the temple, there was an extremely shrill scream.

Chapter 1: New words in blood.

... Outside the temple, under the shade of green trees, the horse snorted restlessly, striding forward, trying to leave the place.

The two bodyguards who were guarding stepped forward to appease, but at the same time guarded the surroundings, especially looking at the way they came from frequently, their eyelids couldn't help twitching.

This time it was really a stroke of luck, they have been in the dart industry for so many years, they spent the night in the mass graves, and ate in the pile of dead people, this is the first time they have encountered such a wicked thing!

Fortunately, there is a temple here, and after a while, the chief escort and the others will come out after offering incense, and it will be the turn of a few of us to go in and offer incense...
