"Hu Ling, how are we going to check?" Dongzi asked me.
I walked to the window, opened a gap in the curtains and looked at the sky outside, then took out my phone and checked the time.
It's not even four o'clock yet, but the sky is a little gloomy and it's about to rain. It should get dark earlier than usual.
"Go to Liuyun Temple before it gets dark. It's best to leave now."
As I spoke, I knelt down, wrapped all the small stone statues in black cloth, repackaged them, and handed them to the old mayor.
"Old mayor, please find a place to put these stone statues first. Don't let them see the sun. Let's deal with the evil spirit first, and then find a way to release the souls inside." I said to the old mayor.
"I'll take these things to the town office first!" Liu Dong said to the old mayor.
The old mayor hesitated and said to Liu Dong: "From the current situation, it seems that people holding these things will be in danger. You are not from our Yanjiadi Town, so there is no need to be implicated and take this risk."
"What are you talking about?"
Liu Dong said with some dissatisfaction: "Although I am not a local, when it comes to the safety and future development of Yanjiadi Town, I have a greater responsibility than anyone else. Where does the saying that I will be implicated come from?"
The old mayor's lips moved, and he wanted to say something else. Judging from his face, it was probably because Cuihua's soul was inside, and he felt uneasy.
"Actually, it's good that Secretary Liu is willing to help us!"
When I saw this, I quickly said: "Is there a police station in the town? The evil spirit and yang energy in the police station are strong, and ordinary evil objects dare not enter. If they can be placed in the police station, it will be difficult for the evil spirits to find these small stone statues.
It’s a place.”
"Yes! I'll call now and ask them to come and collect it!"
Liu Dong nodded quickly, took out his cell phone and started making a call.
It can be seen that he is a very good person. Although he may not necessarily believe what we say, he really wants to help.
"Then let's go to Liuyun Temple first!" I glanced at the old mayor, "Do you want to go up with us?"
Seeing that Liu Dong had already arranged everything for the small stone statue, I put the backpack on my shoulders and prepared to set off directly to Liuyun Temple.
"Of course I'll go with you! Otherwise, the villagers won't be worried if you go outside alone. I'm worried that someone will cause trouble later." The old mayor thought very carefully.
"I'll go too! There is a path where you can ride a motorcycle directly up to Liuyunguan. I can lead the way for you on a motorcycle," Yan Erzhu said.
"I'll go too!"
Yan Zigui also spoke quickly.
That's okay. There's no danger during the day. The Liuyun Temple seems to be quite large. It would be faster if we all go looking for any strange places together.
It is not only convenient for us, but also makes these villagers feel at ease.
"Okay!" I nodded, "Let's set off now!"
"Miss Hu Ling, why don't you wait a little longer!"
Yan Na suddenly said: "I think you guys came all the way from Jiangzhou, so you probably won't be able to bring any good magic weapons with you. I have collected a few good things over the years. How about I go back and bring them to you and this little brother?"
Take it with you!”
If you have a magic weapon, of course it’s good.
We took a plane this time, and I didn't even bring the Bai Pilong Scales with me.
Without magical weapons, when the time comes to fight that evil spirit, Dongzi and I can only rely on our bare hands and paper talismans.
"Then thank you first, Master Yan!" I bowed my hand to Yan Na unceremoniously.
Although Yan Na's cultivation level is not as high as that of Dongzi and I, he is older than us, and even the old mayor calls him Master Yan Na, which shows that he likes people to call him that, so why shouldn't I?
Calling people what they like.
"Haha, I dare not call myself a master in front of you two!"
Yan Na smiled and waved his hand: "You guys wait for me here for a moment, I will come later!"
Yan Na then patted his head and said, "Actually, we don't need those things now. Why don't you go up first? I'll go home and get the things and then go directly up to the Cloud View. This will save more time."
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!" I bowed my hand to Yan Na again.
"It's okay! It's okay!" Yan Na smiled and walked out the door first.
Several of us also followed him out of the ancestral hall.
What I didn't expect at all was the persistence of the Yan family.
When the old mayor told everyone that he would accompany us to Liuyun Temple, all the villagers actually expressed their intention to go together.
Of course, it's not like the old mayor who wants to help us, but he doesn't completely trust us and wants to follow us and keep an eye on us.
Probably thinking that Dongzi and I had used some lies to deceive the old mayor and Yan Erzhu.
This is their territory, and even the old mayor can't stop it. He can only take it one step at a time.
With us in front and the villagers behind, a huge motorbike group went up the mountain.
The path is actually a one-meter-wide mountain road built by the villagers for the convenience of going to Liuyun Temple.
It's very rugged, and a motorcycle with enough power will have no problem riding it, but a motorcycle with less power will break down before it can go very far.
Even with the 125 we bought, if we walked to a place that was too steep, I still had to come down and walk for a while and let Dongzi ride the motorcycle there alone, otherwise there would be a danger of rolling down the mountain at any time.
Yan Erzhu was driving the old mayor on his motorcycle. Their situation was similar to ours.
Yan Zigui, on the other hand, although the motorcycle he was riding looked old and shabby, it was very powerful and his driving skills were also very good. He was at the front and would stop to wait for us from time to time.
At 4:15, we finally arrived at Liuyun Temple.
The mountain road is built on the side of Liuyun Temple and is full of rocks. It took the motorcycle a long time to find a suitable place to park it.
Most of the villagers following us no longer rode their motorcycles up the mountain, they all walked, but they all pulled behind a few of us.
Even though we can see at night, our vision is not as clear as during the day.
Only now did I realize that the location of Liuyun Temple is actually very dangerous. It is located under a cliff on the mountainside. The foundation of the building is high, and the terrain on three sides is much lower. With its back against the cliff, it feels like one man is in charge.
An invincible attitude.
The weather was getting darker and gloomier, and it was about to rain. Probably because of what happened the night before, everyone was busy chasing Wen Dongzi in the town, and no one came to Liuyun Temple to offer incense at this time.
Surrounded by black stones and withered thorns and grass, the gray bricks and black tiles of Liuyun Temple have a somewhat chilling air despite the grayness.
Dongzi rushed up from the steps first, and I followed closely behind.
The door to the main hall that was open yesterday was now locked. Dongzi was about to raise his hand to turn the door lock open, but I stopped him with a voice.
"Since you came up with them, try not to use brute force!"
I said to Dongzi: "First ask the old mayor if he has the key." This chapter has been completed!
