Chapter 209: The Ruined Temple Instance Where Accidents Will Occur

The ghost stories and strange rumors that Lao Ma told in a deliberately low voice really opened Yan Xu's eyes. It was like listening to a live version of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Even Guo Heizi, who had been eavesdropping, shuddered from time to time and became much more honest.

I don't know if it was because they had told too many ghost stories, but the three of them encountered a sudden downpour halfway through the journey. The gravel dirt road had not been repaired for years and was already bumpy. A large section of it collapsed after being hit by the heavy rain, turning into mud all over the ground. Not to mention carriages, even people couldn't get through.

"There's a dilapidated temple nearby. Why don't we go there to rest for a night and take a detour at daybreak." Lao Ma said after hesitating for a moment. Even though he was an experienced cyclist, he didn't dare to risk continuing on the road ahead. It was dark and the road was slippery, so he couldn't take a detour because he would fall into the ditch if he wasn't careful. He could only find a place to stay first. But there was a dilapidated temple nearby, which made him hesitant because it was too easy for something to go wrong in this place.

"A ruined temple?" Yan Xu said inwardly, here it comes, and a copy of a ruined temple where something bad would definitely happen appeared.

Trouble is easilyfallen in a dilapidated temple. This is not a deliberate arrangement of the storyline, but has its basis in reality.

Generally speaking, the distances between towns along the way are calculated. Even if some are far and some are near, people who often take this route will choose accommodation according to their itinerary and try to avoid staying in the wild. Even if they only walk for half a day, if they cannot reach the next stop in half a day, they will stop on their own initiative to avoid risks.

The reason for doing this is actually very simple. Once it gets dark, it is hard to say whether you meet a human or a ghost in the wilderness. Even the bravest people will try to avoid walking at night.

Therefore, apart from the unlucky guys like Yan Xu, most of the people who stay in the dilapidated temple are those who do shameful things, or are simply not human. Only they will stay in a place where few people come.

Unfortunately, they met these two types of Yan Xu.

"Master Yan, these are the horses of the horse thief." Lao Ma, who had been a horse thief, could tell at a glance that the three horses tied in the shabby pavilion to shelter from the rain were not decent horses. He held the whip in one hand and reached for the pistol in his arms with the other.

The reason why Lao Ma is still alive is not just luck, his accurate shooting skills also play an important role. Unfortunately, the pistol did not give him enough sense of security this time, because he vaguely sensed a familiar feeling, and a not-so-wonderful memory came to his mind.

"Master Yan, something is wrong here." Lao Ma said somewhat uneasily.

"Of course something is wrong. The horse is still there, but it's hard to say whether the person is still there."

Yan Xu's words confirmed Lao Ma's bad guess, so he took out glutinous rice, cinnabar and other things. These things are sometimes more useful than guns.

"You stay in the carriage and don't get off. Just wait for me here. I'll be back soon." Yan Xu did not take the gun. He shook his neck to relieve the stiffness caused by sitting in the car for a long time, and then said.

"Okay, sir." Lao Ma looked around vigilantly and answered.

Compared to the calm Lao Ma, Guo Heizi seemed much more confused. He didn't know what to do and could only follow Lao Ma around. For the first time, he realized that he might not be that powerful.

Yan Xu walked into the dilapidated temple without looking back, but he didn't know that not far behind him there was a group of people jumping and dragging their feet towards the dilapidated temple.

As soon as he entered the dilapidated temple, Yan Xu found it unexpectedly luxurious, luxurious to the point of being abnormal.

Expensive pink gauze was hung everywhere as an embellishment, bright tall candlesticks were placed around, smoke was wafting from the gilded hollow incense burner, fresh fruits and fine wine were placed on the table, and a beautiful woman in gauze was singing and dancing on the Western carpet. Her graceful figure and seductive singing made people unable to help but indulge in it.

The scene was like a dream, making people feel like they were in a dream. The three horse thieves who only knew how to laugh foolishly had already become addicted to it. Even Yan Xu's coming in did not make them react.

"What a monster! I can tell at a glance that you are not human!" Yan Xu was confused by the scene in front of him. He shouted loudly, and then the blood in his body rose up, like a burning furnace, distorting the surrounding space, revealing the hidden and broken truth. It turned out that all this beauty was an illusion. The spider webs all around, the branches all over the place, the bloodstained skulls, the tombstones placed horizontally as tables, and the mice and beetles that had gnawed on them, how could it be the beautiful dreamlike side just now.

The illusion was broken, and the beautiful woman who was originally preparing to have a hearty meal with a scornful smile suddenly changed her expression.

"Do you think I'm beautiful?" The beauty was panicked but not confused, because the person who came was a man, and no man could resist her temptation.

The other party does have reason to be proud. Compared with the skinny, short and ordinary women in the world of the late Qing Dynasty, the tall, long-legged and curvy beauty is like a fairy from heaven.

Unfortunately, Yan Xu's eyes didn't even show the slightest fluctuation, and his murderous aura was instead drawn out.

Knowing that something was wrong, the beautiful woman gave Yan Xu a charming smile, then turned around on the spot. Her gauze skirt fluttered, revealing her long legs. At the same time, the scattered gauze skirt turned into three white silk threads, which rolled up the three stupid horse thieves and blocked them in front of her.

"Don't come over here, or I'll kill him."

Three gunshots were heard. Yan Xu gestured with the revolver, signaling the beautiful woman whose face was covered in brains to continue speaking.

The beauty was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't say anything and became more and more afraid of the other party.

Where did this killer come from? He has such a strong blood and energy that he doesn't look like a human. He also has a very fierce aura, like a fierce general in ancient times.

Even if this kind of person doesn't know any magic, one punch from him can make her cry out in pain. If he hits her several times in a row, even if she doesn't die, she will at least lose half her life.

Since taking hostages didn't work, the beauty immediately decided to back out. She turned around and stuck out her butt, leaving her two long white legs exposed, creating a gust of wind.

The fishy and smelly wind blowing in his face gave him a sticky and stringy feeling. He didn't know where it came from, and Yan Xu was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged. He didn't even have time to stop it, and he didn't even dare to shoot, for fear of exploding.

The beauty succeeded, and taking advantage of the blinding wind, she was about to escape through the window with her agile body. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she stuck her head out, she found a wretched Taoist priest with glasses hiding under the window. As soon as she showed her head, she was hit on the face by the other party with a Bagua mirror. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head, and she was bounced back.

"Ah! Damn stinky Taoist priest, he actually ruined my transformation technique!" The beautiful woman rolled on the ground with her hands covering her face. When she took her hands away, she saw furry fur under her burnt skin, and one of her eyes turned into an animal pupil, which looked extremely weird.

"Turns out it's a monster, not a female ghost." The Taoist priest took the opportunity to jump in from the window and said, holding a Bagua mirror in one hand and a peach wood sword in the other, he was fully prepared. However, when he saw the three corpses with their heads blown off on the ground, he frowned and looked at Yan Xu with fear.

Yan Xu recognized the other person's identity faster than he recognized Master Ren. He was Taoist Simu, who was from the same school as Uncle Jiu.

Calculating the time, it should be about the same. He remembered that Master Ren's daughter was preparing to move the grave shortly after she returned. At that time, Taoist Simu happened to be passing by while driving corpses and stopped at Uncle Jiu's charity cemetery, so it was not surprising to meet him here at this time.

However, it is better to deal with this monster first. Looking at the look on Taoist Simu's face, you know that the other party will definitely not dare to act rashly. After all, he killed three people right away, which may not be a good move in the eyes of the other party. It is normal that they dare not take action in front of him.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu ignored him, clenched his fist and walked towards the other party.
