Chapter 326: Chapter 56-evil?
Translator: 549690339
Among the three newcomers, the leader looked to be in his thirties. He had a dark face and a pair of triangular eyes that shone with a bright light. He was wearing a yellow Daoist robe and had a square bun on his head that was loosely tied with a Jade bamboo hairpin.
The one in the middle was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager. He looked simple and honest, with a pale face and a fingernail-sized hairpin under his left eye. His gaze gave people a kind of sticky feeling, completely unlike the usual bright and lively look of this young man.
The last one was a short man who was shorter than an ordinary person's waist. He was dressed in a brown robe and had red hair. He had a dove-shaped face and looked old. However, his expression did not have the slightest bit of kindness. Instead, it was filled with maliciousness.
What surprised PEI Ling was not their appearance and behavior, but that they were all cultivators!
The person in the lead was at the seventh-stage Qi refinement realm, while the two people behind him were both at the sixth-stage Qi refinement realm.
Although his Qi was weak and his spiritual power was extremely impure, it was obvious that he was a rogue cultivator, but he was a true cultivator.
What was going on?
Mortals and cultivators could pass through the rain, but could it be that the rain outside only targeted things like ghosts that had no physical form?
PEI Ling frowned slightly.
After the three of them entered, they looked around. He didn't want to cause any trouble at this time, so he looked away and sensed in secret.
However, after the three of them looked around, they were all confused.
The leader of the yellow-robed cultivators frowned and said, What's going on? didn't we agree to travel through the night to the market City to buy what we need? Why did you come to this Daoist temple?
Brother Zhu, weren't you the one who led the way? The young cultivator and the short cultivator were slightly stunned and said, we thought you came here for something else. &Quot;
The yellow-robed cultivator carefully recalled and said blankly, I wasn't looking where I was going just now, and I ended up here.
As they spoke, the three of them also saw the people from the two sides in the hall.
On one side was an ordinary martial artist The three of them immediately looked away with disinterest.
On the other side, it seemed like a rich family from the secular world was on a trip.
The three of them only took a glance at Ji youzhong and the guards.
However, the eldest daughter of the Ji family, who was surrounded by them, was fifteen or sixteen years old. Her beauty made their eyes light up slightly.
It was already rare for a woman in the secular world to have such looks.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. The young cultivator took the lead and said, Forget it, it's getting late. We've been traveling through the night these past few days, and it's been hard on us. Since we've met, why don't we take a rest here?
The yellow-robed cultivator and the short cultivator nodded their heads in tacit understanding. Then, the three of them walked to the bottom of the shrine and sat down on the futon facing the long table to rest.
PEI Ling turned a blind eye to this scene. On the Ji family's side, Ji youzhong, the young lady, and the maidservants were still fine. They were all mortals who had never practiced martial arts, so their senses were limited.
However, the guards, especially the leader of the guards, were on high alert.
He could sense an unparalleled sense of danger from the three of them!
It was as if the other party could easily crush them to death if he wanted to!
Thus, from the beginning to the end, he didn't dare to make a sound or even breathe loudly!
Now that he saw that the three people had no intention of making a move, a large stone in his heart was finally lifted. He only felt a chill on his back, but they were all covered in cold sweat.
After that, the three parties didn't interfere with each other. Only the sound of rain and breathing could be heard.
PEI Ling began to cultivate the [ burning night chapter ]. Now that there was an outsider present, he was worried that an accident would happen at any time, so he did not let the system take over and cultivated on his own.
At this time, the three wandering cultivators also began to meditate and regulate their breath, recovering from the fatigue of the journey.
Outside the hall, the torrential rain continued to pour, showing no signs of stopping.
The sky gradually turned dark with the rumbling of the rain.
Soon, the outside was filled with darkness, and the entire Taoist temple became even more gloomy.
After the candles on both sides were extinguished, the scattered candles could only light up a square inch of space. The only effective light source was the bonfire where the Ji family sat.
However, no matter if it was PEI Ling or the three itinerant cultivators, they all had cultivation and could see things in the dark. It was very normal.
Hence, they remained unmoved even when it was dark.
Seeing this, the captain of the Ji family guards suddenly whispered, &Quot; manager, eldest miss, the old Madam must be missing you very much at home. We've had enough rest, let's go! &Quot;
The Ji family's eldest miss was originally drowsy, but when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at the guard Captain in confusion.
They had entered the Taoist temple to take shelter from the rain. Now that the rain was getting heavier and the sky was dark, they didn't leave just now, but now they were in a hurry to leave?
She frowned slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she showed her disapproval.
You Zhong, on the other hand, knew that this Guard Captain was very loyal to the Ji family and would not speak without thinking. He turned his head and revealed a questioning expression.
The guard-chief did not explain. Instead, he looked at PEI Ling and the three itinerant cultivators. Then, he looked at his eldest miss.
Seeing this, you Zhongzi fell into deep thought. Then, he thought of something and his face turned pale.
The world was not peaceful. Even if no one in the Ji family had entered the Dao, they were still an ordinary family in the secular world. They had heard many stories about demonic ghosts.
At this moment, this Daoist temple was built in the wilderness, which was a place where it was easy to give birth to spirits.
The two groups of people who entered the Taoist temple before and after them seemed to have not moved since they sat down!
The sky was already dark, but the other party had no intention of approaching the light. This was very strange!
Upon closer inspection, other than the sound of rain coming from outside, all the movements in the hall, be it the sound of the bonfire burning, the breathing, or the sound of clothes rubbing, came from them.
There was not even the sound of breathing in those two places
Therefore, Ji youzhong immediately stood up and said in a low voice, Old Furen is indeed rushing us, we can not delay any longer. Get up, let's hurry!
Hearing this, although the Ji family's eldest miss was surprised, it was obvious that she had been told to listen to the steward and Guard Captain when she was out.
Therefore, he didn't object and stood up first.
Seeing this, the others did not dare to have any objections. They immediately began to pack their things and prepared to rush through the night in the rain.
At this moment, the short cultivator among the three rogue cultivators suddenly opened his eyes and said gloomily,Everyone, it's getting late and the rain is pouring. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Ji youzhong and the guard-chief's hearts sank when they heard this. Youzhong quickly smiled apologetically and said, Thank you for your reminder, but the old madam at home is concerned and does not dare to delay. Moreover, my house is just nearby, so we'll be there in a short while.
The guard Captain didn't say a word. He moved his feet to protect the young miss and secretly sped up his pace, walking out.
However, just as they were about to reach the entrance of the hall, the short cultivator let out a strange laugh and suddenly made a hand seal. A ball of Green Ghost fire the size of a basin suddenly fell in front of the door!
BOOM!
The ghostly fire landed on the ground and quickly formed a wall of fire. It burned fiercely and blocked the path of many mortals.
