Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

The Witch God punishes the people of Xizhou?
This was not the first time Liu Yunxiang heard this saying, "Why does the Witch God punish the people of Xizhou?"

"It's not because of King Suping..."

When the lady boss said this, her expression suddenly froze. She listened carefully again and whispered: "Ah, they are here."

Liu Yunxiang listened carefully. There was a ringtone outside, but the ringtone was eerie.

clang... clang... clang...

Each sound was very long, piercing the dark night, as if coming from a distant place.

Before Liu Yunxiang could ask clearly, the proprietress hurriedly turned around and walked out. When she went out, she told her that if nothing happened to her two people, she should not forget to go downstairs and not go out at night.

After the landlady left, Liu Yunxiang and Zijin looked at each other. Both master and servant were extremely curious.The two of them came to the window, opened a crack and looked out.It was pitch dark outside, but there were four clusters of firelight swaying, following the clanging sound, coming closer and closer.

When I got closer, I saw nine people. They were all wearing loose white clothes, their hair was disheveled, and their faces could not be seen clearly.Dressed like this, at night, and with the ringing of the bell, it looked like a white ghost emerging from the ground.

In their group, the one at the front was ringing, the four in the middle were holding torches, and the four at the back were carrying a large black wooden box.

Before they arrived, the innkeeper and his wife had already greeted them out.The two knelt down on one knee, crossed their hands, and saluted in a very special gesture.

The leader stepped forward, and the two couples crossed their arms at a glance, nodded on the heads of the boss and the boss's wife respectively, said something, and then stepped back.

The boss and his wife then stood up and hurriedly invited them in.

Zi Jin closed the window and shouted, "Who are these people? They are so mysterious."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "I think they should be the 'messengers of the witch god' that Lao Zhang calls them."

"If they are messengers, then the big wooden box just contained the corpses of the children who were poisoned by them?" Zijin thought along the way.

"should be."

There was a lot of commotion downstairs, and the innkeeper and his wife were greeting these people.Then there was movement in the backyard, and then there was fire.

Liu Yunxiang came to the back window and looked down, and saw that they had placed the black wooden box in the middle of the yard. Then the eight people held the talismans in their hands. After lighting them, they started to jump around the black wooden box, mouthing What are you thinking about?

When the talisman paper was about to burn out, they placed it on the eight corners, sat cross-legged again, closed their eyes and started chanting sutras.After reading for about a quarter of an hour, they got up and walked downstairs to the hall.

Liu Yunxiang and Zijin were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses.

"Girl, why do you feel like a bunch of lunatics?" Zijin clicked his tongue.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It's like some people believe in Buddhism and some believe in Taoism, and they believe in witches and gods. But we have to confirm whether there is the body of the child in the box."

Zijin nodded, "While they are eating, I'll go take a look."

Zijin was about to go when he heard crying from the backyard. He opened the back window and saw the innkeeper beating his son.

"I'm not telling you not to run around or touch this sacred object. You're a stupid thing that can't teach you. You've angered the Witch God. Let's see if you're still alive!" , although I felt very distressed, I didn’t dare to step forward to stop him.

Until a man in white robe spoke up, "That's all, the Witch God still loves the people of Xizhou and won't argue with them."

After hearing this, the boss let go of his son and asked the boss's wife to take him into the house quickly, and then went to entertain those people again.

Zi Jin stuck out his tongue, "I just accidentally touched it, but they reacted so bigly. If I open it, they will chase me crazy." Liu Yunxiang looked at the wooden box in the yard for a long time.

When it got late at night and those in white robes had gone back to their rooms to rest, Zijin quietly jumped out of the back window, looked around the black wooden box, and was about to step forward to open it.A man in white robe suddenly rushed out and rushed towards her with a sword.

Zi Jin hurriedly turned around to accept the challenge, not expecting that the white robe's kung fu was not bad. The two of them had just passed a dozen moves when other white robes arrived one after another.She knew that if she continued to fight, she would suffer a loss, so she quickly climbed over the wall and escaped.

Liu Yunxiang saw this scene through the gap in the window and let out a small breath.After Zijin escaped, several people in white robes did not chase him. Instead, they sat around the black wooden box and began to meditate and rest.

Zijin got in through the front window and glanced at the gap in the back window.

"They're too cautious."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "That's all, we have come to Panlong City, and the truth will be revealed soon."

The next day, Liu Yunxiang got up when she heard the noise below. She looked out the front window and saw that the group of people in white robes had already left the inn carrying the black box and were heading towards the city gate in the dim light.

Liu Yunxiang and Zijin got dressed and came down to see the boss and his wife clearing away the dishes.

Seeing them coming downstairs, the landlady hurriedly asked them to sit down.

"I'm going to bake two meatloaf for you two right now, okay?" asked the landlady.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the table next door that hadn't been cleared yet and said, "You can give us whatever they want to eat. Don't bother too much."

"What they eat is raw porridge and boiled vegetables. I'm afraid you two won't be used to it," said the proprietress.

Zi Jin was curious, "Is this all they eat?"

"Yes, they have to practice clean cultivation and cannot eat meat or fish. They also have to eat rice with raw food in it, which will make their minds suffer."

"Is this true every day?"

"No, it's like this every time."

Zijin clicked his tongue. He originally thought that this witch-god sect was one of three religions and nine streams, but he didn't expect that it had clear rules and precepts and was so strict.

"They often help the people and treat local people's diseases, and the people appreciate their kindness." The boss said while clearing the table next to him, "But we are all afraid of them coming to the house. Just like last night when they came, I was worried all night I didn’t dare to sleep, my heart was always hanging.”

"How do you say that?"

"I'm afraid that the Witch God will take a fancy to my child."

"Oh?"

"The Witch God will look for the Holy Son in the world. As long as he chooses the Holy Son, the Holy Son will get sick and die. These messengers will draw spells on the child, and then take the child's body away and offer it to the Witch God. Although they go to serve the Witch God It is a blessing for the child, but for us, death is death, who wants to be separated from the child."

"So the black wooden box they carried contained the body of the child who was chosen by the witch god and died of illness?" Zijin asked.

The boss nodded, "So my wife asked you two to try not to go out, so as not to attract bad luck."

When the word 'bad luck' was mentioned, the boss quickly sighed twice and added: "Blessing, blessing."

"But recently, they have brought back dozens of these black boxes from outside. They want to hold a ceremony to worship the witch god or something." The boss said. (End of chapter)
