Chapter 19 The true purpose of the old Taoist priest
His wife's "You can't do it" almost broke Li Nanke's heart.
But in the face of the facts, he was really unable to refute, so he had to accept the other party's warning (ridicule) with a sincere attitude.
After resting at home for a whole day, Li Nanke gathered enough energy to go to the night patrol department.
It's worth being happy to have achieved success with Sister Leng now, but the danger hidden in the dark really emerges and needs to be cleared up in time.
Li Nanke didn't want to hurt the women around him a second time.
"Brother Li, there is news!"
When they arrived at the Night Patrol Department, Lan Minsheng hurried over and said to Li Nanke with excitement, "After the brothers' diligent search, we found traces of the monster!"
"Where?"
Li Nanke's attitude was cold.
The monster that had no clues before suddenly made movements at this time, which was somewhat surprising.
"A Taoist temple named Mengdie."
"What?"
Hearing this, Li Nanke was suddenly stunned.
Two days ago, in order to investigate Yu Hongye, he learned about Mengdie Taoist Temple from Ye Yaoyao. Before he could investigate, the name suddenly appeared again.
How does it feel that there are hands deliberately guiding his thoughts?
…
He and Lan Minsheng came to Mengdie Taoist Temple.
Different from the majestic Taoist temple in our imagination, the Taoist temple in front of us is very dilapidated, even half of the outer wall has collapsed, and it exudes a sense of depression everywhere.
There was only one Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, a middle-aged man, tall and thin, who seemed to be malnourished.
I feel weak even when I walk.
Seeing so many members of the Night Patrol Division surrounding the Taoist temple inside and out, the Taoist priest was frightened.
When he was brought to Lan Minsheng and others, he was trembling all over.
"Is there anything unusual in the Taoist temple these days?"
Lan Minsheng asked.
Cold sweat broke out on the Taoist priest's nervous forehead, "When I get back to the official, it's... nothing unusual. Very few people come to this Taoist temple on weekdays."
"Is there a secret passage?"
"There is no more of this." The Taoist priest shook his head repeatedly.
After Lan Minsheng asked a few more questions, he leaned next to Li Nanke and whispered: "I have had someone draw the approximate appearance of the monster that attacked Master Leng and distributed it to my subordinates.
According to the brothers, they saw a similar monster escaping here this morning. They also used magical tools to detect it to confirm that there were traces of the monster.
However, Mr. Jing has led people to search carefully and found nothing."
Li Nanke looked at the Taoist temple. After walking around, he motioned to his subordinates to bring the Taoist priest over and asked, "Are you alone here?"
"Yes, sir, I am the only one in this Taoist temple."
The Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "There is not much incense on weekdays. All the brothers and sisters have left."
Li Nanke looked up at the shabby plaque with the word "Mengdie" written on it and asked, "Why is it called Mengdie?"
"This...I don't know either."
The Taoist priest shook his head.
Li Nanke smiled and said, "I don't know here, I don't know where. It seems that this Taoist temple doesn't recognize you at all. And the Taoist robe you are wearing doesn't fit you. You must be some beggar who got here to cheat you."
Hearing Li Nanke's words, the Taoist priest was shocked and his face turned as white as gold paper.
This expression completely proved that Li Nanke's guess was correct.
Lan Minsheng reacted, grabbed the Taoist priest's collar and said angrily: "You idiot, you came to someone else's territory and became the master. You are really not ashamed. No wonder you don't know what you are asking."
"Sir...sir...I...I also make a living, I..."
The Taoist priest was so scared that his legs were shaking. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said to Li Nanke, "Sir, sometimes a light appears in the main hall of this Taoist temple. I don't know where this light comes from."
Light?
Li Nanke frowned.
He came to the main hall, which was also dilapidated. The statue of the god who was worshiped and offered incense was completely rotten. It even had arms and legs missing, and was shrouded in large cobwebs.
"There doesn't seem to be much here."
Lan Minsheng looked at it.
While people weren't paying attention, Li Nanke drank a bottle of Red Rain and unlocked his clairvoyance ability.
When his eyes fell in front of the broken statue of the god again, the statue in front of him changed its appearance. The face was distorted and even more terrifying than the glaring King Kong.
From the kind eyes and kindness before to the ferocious and terrifying one now, the contrast is huge.
What's even more terrifying is that when Li Nanke observed the statue, the statue seemed to be aware of it and looked at Li Nanke without noticing.
This statue...is a living thing?
"Stand back a little."
Li Nanke motioned to those around him to stand farther away.
He grabbed the hilt of the knife, drew it sharply and slashed towards the statue.
Draw your sword and chop!
The sword light came out of the sheath, blooming with an extremely dazzling cold light, directly breaking through the statue with invincible force.
After having sex with Sister Leng, my strength also improved a bit.
The sturdy statue of Nuo was torn apart amidst the rumbling sound. The Taoist priests on the side were so frightened that they almost collapsed on the ground, looking particularly funny and embarrassed.
A bead appeared inside the statue.
The beads emit dazzling light, reflecting extremely fine blue and white light.
"What's this?"
Lan Minsheng stared at this scene dumbfounded.
Li Nanke raised his hand, and the beads fell on his palm.
The next moment, light emitted, wrapping him directly in it and isolating him from the outside world.
When Li Nanke returned to consciousness, he found himself in a strange Taoist temple, with wisps of white mist lingering in the air, like a fairyland.
There are colorful butterflies flying around.
Li Nanke is very familiar with these butterflies and has encountered them several times.
Every time he touches these butterflies, he will travel through time and space.
"Mengdie...Mengdie..."
Li Nanke stared at these dancing dreamy butterflies, thoughtfully.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps sounded in my ears.
Li Nanke turned around suddenly, but saw nothing, but the footsteps were still clear and gradually moved away.
Li Nanke hesitated for a moment and followed the footsteps.
After walking around in circles, he came to a jujube garden and found many tombstones standing here.
The name on the first tombstone is "Li Nanke".
"Huh, pretending to be a ghost!"
Li Nanke subconsciously drew his sword, but found that the sword at his waist had disappeared.
Even the firecrackers are missing.
"You will die here, do you believe it?" A soft and familiar female voice sounded from behind.
Li Nanke suddenly turned around.
The woman in a red wedding dress was looking at him with a smile. She was invisible in the white mist, as if she never really existed.
Princess Shanyun!
Ever since the last time Hong Yu's heart in Hong Yu's world was swallowed by him, Princess Shanyun in the wedding room has disappeared and has never appeared again.
I didn't expect it to show up at this time.
"You have been lying to me." Li Nanke said calmly, "I lost the Heart of Red Rain, and the world of Red Rain did not disappear. On the contrary, you became free."
"Freedom? Are you sure I'm really free?"
Princess Shanyun's tone was solemn.
She walked up to Li Nanke and said softly: "Do you think I am really the savior that the old Taoist priest said?"
Li Nanke was silent.
In his memory of time and space, he had seen the truth.
The woman in front of me is not actually Bei Wenliang's daughter, she was secretly replaced by the old Taoist priest.
"He wants to sacrifice the world to save his daughter."
