Ghost husband and domineering: waiting for you to be reincarnated

Chapter 170 The Taoist in the Taoist Temple
Because of the previous illusion, I was a little afraid of the miasma. Although I had taken the pills given by Qin Lin, when I walked in, I still didn't dare to take a big breath.

Qin Lin knew that I was nervous, and kept holding my hand.While looking for the way according to the memory in my dream, while looking back at me from time to time.

Seeing him like this, although I was still a little scared, I gradually calmed down a lot.

At least I'm not alone here.

Thinking of it this way, I can somehow muster up the courage.

The forest was very damp due to the morning dew, emitting a very unpleasant smell.According to my previous understanding, the reason why miasma occurs in these places is mostly due to the abundant rain in the forest and the dead animals and plants as nutrients, so a lot of bacteria and viruses are bred.

Although these bacteria and viruses are not necessarily harmful to the human body, it is difficult for people to really grasp the prevention and control methods of these germs because they reproduce in the forest all year round.If it were placed in ancient times, it would easily cause large-scale plague and malaria.

But miasma can actually cause people to hallucinate, which is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

"Follow me, we're almost there." Qin Lin said suddenly while pulling me.

My spirits froze immediately.

The forest in front of me gradually became thinner, and there was a little smoke slowly rising not far ahead. From such a distance, one could smell a faint smell of fireworks.

Although I have seen it once in a dream, when I actually stood in front of this Taoist temple, I still couldn't help feeling nervous.

In my dream, no matter how eerie my surroundings seemed, at least I knew I was safe, but not now.I am in it myself.

"Don't be afraid."

Qin Lin probably noticed that my hands were trembling slightly, so he turned around and said something.I can't see anything from his eyes, but looking at his cautiousness, I feel that he also seems to be a little jealous.

In order not to let myself continue to think about it, I asked, "What's in it?"

"These people are still alive." Qin Lin gestured with his eyes, and I realized that we had arrived outside the Taoist temple before we knew it.

Although it is early morning and the sun has risen, everything is still the same as what I saw last night.

In front of the door of the Taoist temple, there was a man in a tattered Taoist robe, sweeping the floor with his head down.Judging from his matted and clumped hair and the dirty robes on his body, I suspect that he hasn't washed his hair for several years.

In this kind of place, if you don’t wash your hair or take a bath all the year round, the biggest problem is germs and strong body odor, which will lead to mosquito bites, and even an accidental infection, but the man doesn’t seem to think there is anything wrong It seemed uncomfortable, but I just kept sweeping my head and sweeping the floor, as if I couldn't see Qin Lin and me at all.

I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and couldn't help but look at the man again.

Suddenly, he saw a small insect crawling out from under his sleeve.The bug was on his body, following the man's movements, but he didn't feel frightened at all. Instead, it stayed on the back of the man's hand, and then bit down, obviously sucking the man's blood.

I widened my eyes in fright and covered my mouth in disbelief.

"He..." Can this be considered alive?

I don't know how many parasites are growing on him under that tattered Taoist robe, but this man is enduring such pain, and he doesn't even notice it, just sweeping the floor so casually?

"He is indeed alive. But he has lived in this kind of place all year round, and he has inhaled an unknown amount of that kind of miasma. I am afraid that he can no longer feel the condition of his body. With this degree of infection in his body, death is only a matter of time, but he I just don’t know.”

"But why does he keep sweeping the floor here?" If it was an ordinary person, even if he inhaled the miasma and had hallucinations, he wouldn't behave so strangely, would he?

"I'm afraid someone did it on purpose."

When Qin Lin said this, he couldn't help frowning.There was a dark current in the eyes, and even the red pupils seemed to become a bit darker.

"If it was man-made, it would be too cruel."

I couldn't help but take another look at the man sweeping the floor, looking at his empty and blank eyes, I felt more than just a feeling in my heart.

"Go ahead."

Qin Lin pulled me, probably to prevent me from seeing these things again. He intentionally or unintentionally pulled me into his arms, so that I could only see the road under my feet, but not the surrounding environment.

I am very grateful for his little gesture.The man outside the door just now made me feel a little nauseous. There may be many such people in this Taoist temple. If I see them all, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the nausea until I collapse.

We walked all the way through the courtyard of the Taoist temple, and along the way, no one looked up at us.

On the contrary, there are so many joss sticks burning here, as if they don't need money at all, and the yard is full of the smell of fireworks and paper money. On the contrary, I don't think these people who are dirty enough to start rotting have any smell.

Originally, I thought that the infiltration would go smoothly this time, but I didn't expect that Qin Lin and I just walked into the hall where the founder of Sanqing was enshrined, and suddenly heard someone talking.

"Who's here?"

There are people alive in this kind of place, and they can even talk, which naturally makes me a little scared.

Qin Lin held me in his arms and stood still in the lobby.

I quietly stretched my head out to look, and I happened to see three people who looked like Taoists coming out from the back of the hall.

Different from other people, although the clothes worn by these three people were also a bit worn out, they were considered very clean in comparison.

Moreover, they tied up all their hair with wooden hairpins. If you ignore the environment here and see it elsewhere, you probably won't think there is anything strange about the outfits of these three people.

I wondered how these three people survived in this kind of place, and wanted to open my mouth to answer.But Qin Lin looked at the three of them, but didn't speak.

The fat man at the front looked him up and down, and asked again, "I'm asking you, who are you?"

But Qin Lin still didn't answer, the fat man stood in front of Qin Lin, he didn't seem to be angry, he just waited for Qin Lin.As a result, the two sides actually ended up in such a strange stalemate.

Just when I was wondering what Qin Lin was going to do, I saw him suddenly raise the corner of his mouth with a wicked smile, and said, "Just these three little guys, are you here to pick me up?"
