Chapter 135 Happy Events: The Ghost of the Wild Temple (Please subscribe!)

Even if they didn't use the Hidden Abyss and Shrink the Ground, Chen Yan, Fa Cai, and Hei Hu were not slow in their pace. In just a quarter of an hour, Chen Yan and others reached the top of the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Chen Yan found a small village at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the mountain.

The sky was dim, and even though they were far away, Chen Yan still vaguely saw that this small village seemed to be holding a wedding event, and the village was filled with red lanterns.

However, Chen Yan only glanced at it and had no intention of going to the small village. He focused his attention again on the wild temple on the top of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Yan got closer, he realized that this was not a temple, but a Taoist temple.

It was deserted, leaving only a Taoist temple in ruins.

Judging from the signs of damage to the Taoist temple, it should have been pushed down artificially after the fire.

The gate of the Taoist temple is very old, and the paint has peeled off in many places, revealing spots of rust underneath.

The ground in front of the door is also covered with dust.

What’s weird is that the doors of ordinary Taoist temples usually have some couplets posted on them, but the door of this poor Taoist temple actually has a statue of Zhong Kui posted on it.

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Yan subconsciously used the Netherworld Technique to look inside the Taoist temple. Then, Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, and soon there was a trace of amusement in his eyes.

Push open the door.

"Squeak-"

A musty smell goes straight into people's noses.

Behind Chen Yan, Fa Cai and Hei Hu both made low voices. Before they could see any movement, Chen Yan patted their heads and said calmly:

"go in."

He glanced at the young man suspiciously, as if wondering why the young man turned a blind eye to these 'dirty things', but when he saw Chen Yan walking in, he followed him into the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is not large in area, with only one main hall, half of which has collapsed and is in dilapidated condition. In the center of the main hall is an incomplete Sanqing statue covered with moss.

He walked up to the Sanqing statue and bowed as if there was no one else around. His peripheral vision swept across the entire main hall of the Taoist temple, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Who would have thought that there are more than ten ghosts hiding in a Taoist temple.

The one in the corner on the left has a black ring around its neck and a long hanging tongue. It is obviously a hanged man.

The one on the right is lying on the beam, his body is swollen and blue, and his feet are stained with water. He must be a drowned ghost.

Over there squatted above the head of the Sanqing statue. The flesh and blood between the waist and abdomen were blurred, and the intestines and liver were vaguely visible. He was wearing a broken armor. He should be a dead man on the battlefield...

There are also headless ghosts, starving ghosts, tuberculosis ghosts... and more than a dozen ghosts are gathering in the main hall, looking directly at Chen Yan, the uninvited guest, nervously and apprehensively.

Those ghosts kept staring at Chen Yan. Seeing that Chen Yan seemed to be unable to see them, his tense mood immediately relaxed.

After a while, Sanqing greeted the ghost above him, and several ghosts gathered towards him, forming a small circle and whispering to each other.

With an expressionless expression, Chen Yan found a broken straw mat to place next to them, sat down cross-legged, and listened openly.

"Seems like a fake Taoist priest..."

"I was scared to death. I thought I was going to die tonight!"

"Aren't you already dead?"

"...What you said makes sense."

"This fake Taoist priest's eyes are glowing purple, it's so magical."

"I'm a little afraid of these two cats. I've been most afraid of cats since I was a child, and now I'm even more afraid of black cats. These two cats seem to be able to see us."

"It's just two cats. What are you afraid of? Can you still make a living from it?"

Under the gazes of Chen Yan, Fa Cai, and Hei Hu, a dozen ghosts chattered as if no one else was around.

"Ahem, please be quiet."

The dead ghost on the Sanqing statue coughed, and all the ghosts calmed down and looked over.

Seeing that all the ghosts were looking over, the dead ghost coughed again, and then asked:

"It seems that this Taoist priest is going to live in our territory tonight. What should we do? Should we drive him away?"

"Get away. Today is the third master's happy day. What if the third master comes and sees this fake Taoist priest? Wouldn't this fake Taoist priest become a dish on the table? My mother has taught me since I was a child that saving someone's life is more important than anything else. Build a seven-level pagoda.”

After the Hengdegui finished speaking, the Drowned Ghost suggested hesitantly. When Chen Yan heard this, his heart suddenly moved and his eyes narrowed.

"You're already dead and you're still a shitty pagoda. I suggest arresting this Taoist priest. Don't forget that the third master is having a big day today. If we don't send a living person to congratulate him, the third master will be jealous and everyone will be finished. !”

The Hanged Man couldn't help but rolled his eyes and retorted.

The hanged ghost's words silenced all the ghosts in the Taoist temple. It was obvious that the Third Master had put great pressure on them.

"But...but I've been afraid of killing a chicken since I was a kid, so why don't I just forget it?"

The drowned ghost hesitated, but insisted on his opinion.

The other ghosts also had expressions of unbearable expressions. Finally, the dead ghost who had seen the world waved his hand and said decisively:

"Get away! I was betrayed to death back then. I don't want to end up like this after death. I'm not a ghost anymore!"

Seeing that all the dead ghosts said this, the hanged ghost shook his head helplessly. At this time, another ghost asked again:

"Then how can we catch up?"

"How about using 'ghost to cover your eyes'?"

"Is it...useful?"

"Why is it useless? When the time comes, I suddenly cover his eyes, and all of a sudden he can't see his fingers. This fake Taoist priest is so scared that his buttocks will urinate. Hehehehe..."

Chen Yan took a quick look and found that it was the Drowned Ghost who made this suggestion.

Fa Cai and Hei Hu, who were squatting aside, looked at the drowned ghost with pity.

"Okay! That's it!"

In the end, the dead man made the final decision.

With the decision made, the ghosts immediately started to take action. The sick ghost and the headless ghost came to the main door together, looked at each other, and then snickered and pushed the door open.

"Squeak..."

But the door that was originally open was slowly closed under the push of two ghosts.

Ordinary people would be shocked if they saw a door slowly closing.

The other ghosts hurriedly looked towards Chen Yan to see if they had scared Chen Yan, but they saw Chen Yan sitting on the straw mat and lighting up the fire with a calm expression, as if he didn't pay attention.

"The movement is too small! Be more energetic!"

The dead ghost scolded.

The tuberculosis ghost and the headless ghost got the order and immediately became violent.

Just a "bang" sound was heard, and the main hall door slammed shut.

At this time, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and looked over, seemingly finally discovering something was wrong in the Taoist temple.

Seeing that Chen Yan finally reacted, the ghosts in the Taoist temple suddenly cheered. The dead ghost raised his hand to signal for silence, and then winked at the drowned ghost beside Chen Yan.

The drowned ghost who had been guarding Chen Yan for a long time received the order. It seemed that this was not the first time it had been attacked. With a snicker on its face, it crept close to Chen Yan. Water stains formed puddles on the ground. Footprints on the beach.

It stretched out its hands and walked around to Chen Yan's left side.

Chen Yan turned his head and looked at it, with a half-smile on his face.

The drowned ghost was stunned for a moment, took another breath, and tiptoed to the right.

Chen Yan's eyes also followed to the right.

The drowned ghost blinked. It was confused and moved back to the left hesitantly. This time, Chen Yan's eyes did not follow him, so it was relieved.

It almost thought this fake Taoist priest could see it!

It swung its long braids a few times, and with a hint of a successful snicker on its face, it stretched its hand towards Chen Yan's eyes.

But suddenly!

The boy with his back to it suddenly turned around, and before it could react, a fist as big as a casserole was stamped on the center of its basin.

It immediately went dark!
