Although Lin Xixue could not explore the Sanyuan Temple at the moment, nor could she rush to look for the blessings of the City God's Temple, there was still one thing that she could solve right now.
She had previously asked the Ziren Pavilion in the city to repair the Wuzeng Temple in Linghu Village, but she didn't know what the progress was after two months.
She left the room, told the maids in the house to take care of Xu Zhiyi, then put on her veil and walked to the Zi Ren Pavilion in the city.
Perhaps because it was already getting late, the door of the Zi Ren Pavilion was already closed, and only a flickering oil lamp burning on the counter could be seen through the window paper.
She knocked softly on the door, but no one responded, but she could clearly see a figure sitting next to the oil lamp. She frowned and knocked hard again. This time someone finally answered the door.
"It's unfortunate that you're here. Our restaurant has stopped taking orders these days. It's a waste of time for you to make this trip. Please come back."
When Lin Xixue heard this tone through the door, she knew it was the shopkeeper who had received her before.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, I asked you to repair the temple in Linghu Village before. I wonder if the progress is going well now?" she called from the other door.
The shopkeeper opened the door a small crack, and after confirming that the visitor was correct, he welcomed her into the restaurant.
"Girl, to tell you the truth, the repair of this temple is going to be difficult."
She raised her head, closed her eyes, and remained motionless. The crystal water drops slid down her white neck, soaking her collar, like a lonely jade doll under the moonlight.
"You know what?" Lin Xixue took a step forward and appeared behind the shopkeeper like a ghost, with a knife on his neck. "I don't like being pointed at."
The shopkeeper pointed at Lin Xixue, his eyes widened, and he was spitting.
Since she obtained the Five Evils Yin Thunder Map, her physical strength has been greatly improved, and things she could not do before are now effortless.
"Sir, she was already angry because the second young lady of the Xu family ran away and the engagement was cancelled. Now there is no news from the young master's family, and her life and death are unknown. It's all because of the order you assigned me, girl!"
She frowned, stepped over the realgar powder, and continued walking deeper into the bamboo forest.
There are a large number of densely packed insect corpses huddled together inside the realgar powder.
The bamboo forest seemed to be winding and winding, making it difficult to run fast, but the elastic bamboo became a foothold for her to use force to launch herself, and her forward speed increased instead of decreasing.
Inexplicably, she felt that the sound was somewhat familiar, but before she could think about it, she saw a long yellow and black object shooting toward her ear.
Her face also turned cold, and she said: "What does the shopkeeper mean by this? I paid all the money at once. Could it be that I am a woman who is easy to bully?"
Now something rather bad seems to be happening in Xinliang City and Linghu Village not far away. Why are these Taoist priests missing?
Since it is a Taoist temple in the lineage of Shenxiao, the state religion of Yunzhou, and is usually worshiped by the people, shouldn't it be time to come forward to solve the problem now?
She didn't know how far she ran, picked up a large bucket of water from in front of a house, and splashed it on her face.
However, sin does not lead to death.
But as she was running, she suddenly heard a "click, click, click" sound of carapace colliding.
However, there was something that Lin Xixue couldn't figure out.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the girl, how could the young master's family have fallen into such a dangerous place as Linghu Village?" The shopkeeper snorted coldly, with deep resentment in his tone.
Lin Xixue was not interested in accepting such nonsensical accusations, so she simply asked the shopkeeper to explain clearly.
"If the shopkeeper has something to say, you might as well say it clearly."
The priest at the City God's Temple might know something, but it's just not easy for me to go find him now.
She didn't know how long she stood there, but she finally calmed down again.
For some reason, Lin Xixue felt that the shopkeeper's tone when he spoke to her suddenly became much colder.
It would be better for her to go and investigate this matter in person.
"I generally call this behavior, anger."
"He went voluntarily. What does it have to do with me? I didn't assign him to go. Besides, why is Linghu Village in danger?"
But she was acting so swiftly and violently at this moment, how could such things be able to plot against her.
"I don't know how you managed to seduce the young master's family. The young master's family has always been dissolute, but after accepting your order, it was as if they were possessed by evil spirits. They insisted on going to Linghu Village to supervise the construction in person."
"Not long after, Xinliang City declared martial law, strictly prohibiting any outsiders from entering or exiting. The master spent a lot of money to recruit a group of brave men, but they were unable to leave the city."
Last time I caused trouble in Xinliang City, the Taoist priest from Sanyuan Temple arrived instantly.
"You took the order, assigned the manpower, and set the price. Now you have to blame me for the unexpected situation."
"I don't like to suffer such unwarranted accountability." She leaned close to the shopkeeper's ear, and her seemingly gentle voice was filled with murderous intent.
It would be fine if it was just a bad attitude, but the shopkeeper had clearly promised it would be fine when he took the money, so why does he say now that it can't be repaired?
Lin Xixue was speechless in her heart. This dude is interested in me unilaterally and wants to do his best to fulfill my instructions. What does it have to do with me? I didn't know he was going to go?
Besides, why was he in danger again when he went to supervise the construction?
What happened in Linghu Village, and why did the dandy Gu Yu send a flare to ask for help?
She found the direction of Linghu Village, tapped her toes, and jumped dozens of feet. Rather than running on the ground, she seemed to be flying fast on the ground.
The shopkeeper's indiscriminate behavior of expressing his anger is naturally extremely abominable.
Lin Xixue held the knife behind her back, put the hand holding the scabbard in front of her forehead, struggled to push the door open and ran, disappearing into the dark night in the blink of an eye.
She stopped, leaned down, and fanned the powder near her nose. Sure enough, there was a smell of rotten eggs, and it was undoubtedly realgar powder.
The shopkeeper was so frightened by Lin Xixue's tone that he could not even think of words to beg for mercy.
Lin Xixue was a little surprised. He originally thought that the martial law in Liang City was related to the walking dead, but he didn't expect that the source was actually in Linghu Village?
On the contrary, it was the Wuzeng Temple incident that gave Lin Xixue quite a headache. She thought there would be no more changes in this matter, but she didn't expect that another incident would arise.
She came to the edge of the city wall, lifted up her skirt, jumped up, stepped on the wall one after another to use her strength, and found the blind spot where the archers at the top of the city were blinking. She crossed the top of the city in a flash and landed steadily outside the city.
The next moment, the horizontal sword was unsheathed, and a cold light suddenly appeared, but the hand wielding the sword suddenly stopped in mid-air.
She didn't care at all about the life and death of this dude, but she promised her master that she would renovate the temple for him. Now something happened during the renovation, and she couldn't ignore it.
"Not long ago, the young master's family set off a life-saving flare. The master immediately sent his family's servants and warriors to rescue him, but none of these servants came back."
"Okay!" The shopkeeper became even more angry after hearing this. His breath blew his beard flying around, and his back molars made a crunching sound.
Not long after, the familiar sea of bamboo appeared in her field of vision, but outside the sea of bamboo, she saw a circle of familiar orange-yellow powder.
She stepped on the bamboo under her feet and flew out in the opposite direction. With her left hand, she took out the Splitting Light to break the night. With her right hand, she drew the sword and flipped it with inertia, slashing out a full moon-like sword light in the air.
The yellow and black thing let out a scream, then was chopped into two pieces and fell to the ground.
The body that was broken into two parts kept curling and relaxing, like a fish being fished ashore, constantly slapping the ground, and yellow-brown mucus oozed from the cut surface.
Lin Xixue saw clearly what fell on the ground, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
