As a human being, you are most afraid of three long things and two short things. When burning incense, you are most afraid of two short things and one long thing.
Especially at this time, these three sticks of incense have been burnt like this, I can't help but feel nervous.
The little Taoist priest is still urgently recovering his physical strength. Now I am really hesitant about whether to wake him up...
"Master, the thing in the lantern has come out!"
However, at this moment, Lin Xiaorong suddenly whispered in my ear.
"What did you say?"
I stood up immediately and quickly grabbed the money sword in my hand.
When we were outside just now, Lin Xiaorong told me that there were two powerful guys living in this lantern.
Originally, I thought that the two of us had successfully entered the ancestral hall and had escaped. However, I didn't expect that the thing in the lantern actually chased us in.
"Right behind you!"
Lin Xiaorong hurriedly shared her vision with me while talking.
After gaining her vision, I finally saw clearly what those two things looked like.
Right behind me, I don't know when there were two pale guys with exposed tongues.
Looking at them like this, they must have been hanged before death.
However, I am really a little surprised. Although this ancestral hall seems to be in disrepair, judging from the incense inside, there must have been people worshiping here.
Logically speaking, these evil things cannot enter such a place at all.
But these two guys were able to enter the ancestral hall in a grand manner.
There is something really wrong with this matter.
"You two, we are both forced to do nothing tonight. We are just passing by. You don't have to fight with us."
As I spoke, I tightened my grip on the hilt of the money sword in my hand.
Although the two guys had already appeared, they had no intention of attacking.
Since they have not taken the initiative to attack, if it can be resolved through negotiation, of course I still want to talk to them.
Even if it just delays it for a little while, after all, I have seen the little Taoist priest's physical condition.
This kid was outside just now, and he had to use all his energy to feed me. Now, even if he stands up, he can't give me much help.
I don’t know if they heard what I said or if they had other plans, but the two guys actually bypassed the two of us and went to the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall on their own.
Just looking at the state where the two of them are almost condensed into a solid entity, it can be seen that these two guys are not easy to get along with.
After all, as a soul body, if you want to make your soul body stronger, the simplest and most direct way is to devour the same kind.
The two of them were in this state now. They probably had to swallow tens of thousands of wandering ghosts to become what they are now.
"Master, they don't seem to have any intention of attacking."
Seeing my nervous look, Lin Xiaorong said softly.
"Let's observe first. If they don't move, we won't move either."
The hairs on my back stood up, but at this moment, I could only grit my teeth and hold on.
Although it is summer now, a place like the ancestral hall itself is very eerie, plus there are two more things like this.
Moreover, the two of us had just been caught in the rain. In this windy ancestral hall, I really felt like I was trembling all over.
If it weren't for the fact that there were two of these things standing in front of me, I would have really wanted to get some firewood and make a fire to warm myself up.
Just when I was hesitating whether to sit down or not, the two wandering souls suddenly turned around.
"Light three more sticks of incense for them!"
When I was about to swing my sword to fight them, the little Taoist priest behind me suddenly spoke.
"Are you kidding me? If I go there now, I won't be cut into pieces by them."
I looked back at the little Taoist priest, but he didn't even open his eyes.
"They won't take the initiative to attack. If they wanted to take action, they would have cut you into pieces long ago."
The little Taoist priest seemed to know the two of them and said calmly.
Although I didn't know what the situation was, but since the little Taoist priest had already said this, out of trust in him, I hesitated for a while and slowly stepped forward.
When I passed by those two guys, my heart was beating for a while.
The two of them and I are really too close. If they want to do something to me, I'm afraid I won't have time to react and I will suffer.
My heart is really filled with 10,000 grass and mud horses running through me now, but this incident has also taught me a lesson. For a talisman cultivator like me, after leaving the talisman paper, the fighting ability will almost be broken.
So since then, when I have nothing to do, I always like to keep a hundred and eighty evil charms in the pocket of every piece of clothing.
Although I felt a little uneasy, and when I was stared at by them, I got goosebumps all over my body.
However, the process of burning incense went very smoothly. After the three pillars of incense were lit, the two guys immediately came to the side of the incense burner.
It was obvious that when the incense burned in the incense burner, the faint green smoke that floated out was directly inhaled by them.
And that's not all. When these two guys looked at me, they looked expressionless.
But when he inhaled the green smoke into his body, his face was filled with an expression of enjoyment.
I was completely stunned. I had long heard of the saying that Buddha competes for a burner of incense, but this was the first time I saw a wandering soul enjoying the incense.
"call--"
After a long time, the three pillars of fragrance finally burned out.
The little Taoist priest let out a long breath and then stood up directly.
"We brothers are just passing by here. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
What I didn't expect was that the little Taoist priest seemed to be very familiar with these two guys. He actually strode forward and bowed to the two guys.
I don’t know if his words had an effect or if the two guys had eaten enough.
Anyway, the two of them disappeared soon. After they disappeared, I let out a long breath.
"I said, what the hell is this? These two guys are too scary."
The souls were condensed into what they are now. Even though they didn't speak from the beginning to the end, they just stood there, which already gave me a lot of pressure.
"You are still a descendant of the Yinshan Sect. You don't even know about them, right?"
While the little Taoist priest was talking, he rolled his eyes at me.
"No, I'm just a half-way monk from Yehuchan. Do you think I can compare with a disciple from a well-known and upright sect like you?"
I glared at him angrily, this guy really couldn't help but pick up any pot.
