After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Hearing this, Yun Kaizhou quickly walked forward and carefully picked up the incense burner with both hands.

After trying to turn the incense burner left and right, the sound of stones moving and colliding was immediately heard.

Gradually, a black hole appeared before everyone's eyes, terrified everyone present.

Suddenly, a head popped out from the black hole, which surprised Feng Qiongzhu.

She originally thought that this might be a secret passage or a secret room, but she didn't expect that a Taoist priest would suddenly appear, and he looked quite old.

One of the guards couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why are you hiding in there?"

The Taoist priest in gray Taoist robes crawled out of the black hole and shook off the mud and sand on his body.

Seeing everyone staring at him, he angrily said, "How dare you ask me who I am? Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Who are you? How did you get in?"

Feng Qiongzhu observed the Taoist priest carefully. Although he was wearing Taoist robes and was obviously a Taoist priest in this Taoist temple, she was full of doubts: Why was he hiding in the secret room?

When the Taoist saw that no one answered his question, he did not panic. Instead, he seemed calm and composed, and even sniffed around.

When Feng Qiongzhu saw this, she immediately understood that the Taoist priest was obviously attracted by the aroma of the wine they were carrying, and was lured out.

Yun Kaizhou pursed his thin lips, frowned slightly, and looked at the Taoist in front of him again.

He looked to be about forty years old, wearing a tattered grey Taoist robe, the cuffs of which had been washed white, and it was obvious that he had been wearing this robe for many years.

However, what is most intriguing is that this Taoist priest exudes an unusual aura. He has the unfathomable demeanor of a warrior, but it is impossible to glimpse his true strength.

When the Taoist's eyes were fixed on the wine jar in Yun Kaizhou's hand, Yun Kaizhou had no choice but to hand it over and asked tentatively: "Master, do you want to drink a sip?"

The Taoist priest snorted and said, "Who are you? This is my territory."

Yun Kaizhou quickly explained: "Master, we entered the Taoist temple unintentionally. We were able to get in only after the temple opened the door. We apologize for any offense we may have caused."

He continued, "Master, please accept this jar of wine as our apology. We will leave tomorrow morning."

The Taoist priest showed a surprised expression and asked in confusion: "How is it possible that the gate will open automatically?"

His eyes rolled and his voice was a little cold: "Then you can rest here for a night and talk about it tomorrow. I'll accept your wine."

He took the wine jar from Yun Kaizhou and scolded him, "Why are you drinking such good wine in the middle of the night? The aroma of this wine is so strong that it spreads everywhere. I can't sleep because of it. Since you are so generous, I won't be polite. I haven't had such delicious wine in a long time."

Feng Qiongzhu looked at the old Taoist holding the wine jar without any hesitation and asked tentatively: "Master, why don't we see anyone else in this Taoist temple besides you?"

After the old Taoist drank a few sips of wine, he heard her voice, lowered his eyes, leaned against the wall, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said coldly: "Everyone here is dead. I am the only one now. You can leave when it's dawn. There is nothing here that you are looking for."

When they heard the old Taoist say that they were all dead, Rendong, Anqing and others widened their eyes in surprise.

At this moment, only one thought came to their minds: they were probably in danger now.

Feng Qiongzhu narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the Taoist priest sharply, with a hint of threat in her tone: "Taoist priest, do you know that we are looking for something?"

The Taoist priest glanced at her and said calmly: "You guys are so loud and powerful, obviously you have some ulterior motives. But I want to remind you that there are some places you cannot touch."

After hearing these words, everyone's expression changed.

Especially Yun Kaizhou, the scabbard in his hand moved slightly, and he stared at the old Taoist priest with sharp eyes, as if as long as he moved, the sword in his hand would kill him immediately.

Yun Kaizhou asked in a deep voice: "Since the Taoist priest knows our purpose, why don't you just tell us what we are looking for?"

The Taoist priest pretended not to hear anything and continued to hold the wine jar. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Feng Qiongzhu and said, "Little girl, could it be that you broke the formation in my bamboo forest?"

Hearing this, Ren Dong tapped the firewood stick in his hand gently on the ground, fixed his eyes on the Taoist priest, and asked curiously, "Master, did you plant that purple bamboo forest yourself?"

The Taoist priest snorted, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "I have lived alone in the deep forest for many years. Few people can walk out of that purple bamboo forest alive. It seems that I have met an extraordinary little girl today."

Feng Qiongzhu heard this and smiled indifferently: "Master, you are too kind. Your formation is actually not that mysterious. It is just a facade."

When the Taoist heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he glared at Feng Qiongzhu.

But then, his eyes fell on Feng Qiongzhu's face, and he seemed to have discovered something. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a smile.

"So that's how it is..." the Taoist muttered to himself, then stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

“Since the Taoist temple is open to you, it seems that this girl is indeed the destined person of my Taoist temple.

After saying that, he picked up the jar of wine, turned around and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Everyone, have a good rest, but don't touch anything here. I'm giving you a piece of advice. It's up to you whether you listen or not. Life and death are determined by fate..."

The guard came over quickly and reported to the prince: "Prince, we just went to the secret room to check and found..."

Before he could finish his words, the old Taoist priest had disappeared.

Everyone looked at the empty secret room, and an inexplicable feeling surged in their hearts.

Yun Kaizhou went to check it out personally and found that there was a simple secret room inside, surrounded by stone walls. There was nothing inside and it looked extremely deserted.

The Taoist priest could disappear without a trace in an instant. It was obvious that his cultivation was unfathomable and his personality was quite strange. It seemed that he did not want us to stay in this Taoist temple.

Feng Qiongzhu had drunk half a jar of wine without realizing it, and a slightly tipsy blush appeared on her face.

She glanced at the door, then walked calmly into the woods, whispering, "I'm going out for some fresh air."

Upon hearing this, Yun Kaizhou immediately stood up and wanted to accompany them, but Feng Qiongzhu waved her hand to stop him.

She came to the edge of the bamboo forest, and the bamboos around her were swaying, making rustling sounds.

She stood with her hands behind her back, staring into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Yun Kaizhou waited for a long time, but Feng Qiongzhu didn't come back, so he came to the outside of the Taoist temple and saw her standing outside the bamboo forest from afar.

He raised the corner of his mouth, walked straight towards her, and gently held her hand from behind.

Feng Qiongzhu was startled by this sudden action. She turned around and smiled awkwardly. When she was about to pull her hand back, she felt an itch in her palm.
